FLECTIO
TRUE MANLINESS.
By WILLIAM n. eAwDtN.


THE manly man dare not make
gain for himself out of others mis-
cry; nor claim from any man or mer
more than the worth of what he does
for them; nor employ his superior
power or knowledge to take away
the rights of the weak and the ignor-
ant; nor follow a livelihood which
| does not produce human benefit; nor
willingly cultivate idleness in place
of industry; MOI take more than his
stipulated compensation for the per-
Torrance of any duty of trust,
! whether financial, social or political;
nor sell his conscientious opinion in
any place or case for any considera-
ton; nor fear to do Justice under
any responsibility; nor lie; nor be-
tray; nor desert; nor anywhere do In
the secret place what n would be
unwillin gly to have reported on the
housetops."
1t is both refreshing and encour-
aging to read so frank a statement
in one Of our weeklies. EVIL
thoughts, words and deeds are bad
enough Of themselves, but they are
not half so bad as utter Indifference
to them. Seen from many different
angles, the times In which we live
seem to be evil. Even a compari-
son with the good old times" in
which anybody but a prejudiced OBJ
server can readily see how much
better off morally we are than Jul
fathers were, is not altogether reas
surfing. There is still so much of
evil abroad as to sicken one, especial
ly when one dwells upon some
phases too exclusively. But the hope
full sign is that we are becoming
nightly concerned about it. The
world has seldom if ever seen such
a general moral awakening.
This does not mean hat we have
almost arrived at the goal of perfec-
ton; but 1t does mean that we are
making a new start toward the goal.
Humanity seems to have made pro-
gress by waves in all departments,
in which we seem to be losing
ground as the wave recedes, where
as it is but the gathering of the
force to carry the succeeding wave
higher than it's predecessor. Moral
rottenness Is all too evident. Our
concern for our condition is but the
gathering Of the strength that will
carry us to a higher plane of moral
living.
The accent Is more and more be-
ing placed upon character, upon true
manliness. We have paid too high
a price for mere ability, only to dis
cover that ability apart from char
acter is dear at any price. Character
Is a product Of the unwritten law.
No manly man will see how close he
may sail to the limits of legality
without actual transgression, but
will observe the spirit as we'll as the
letter of the law. The plea that
"others do it, is a miserable excuse
for any man in business or social
life to offer for the doing of what
he knows instinctively to be wrong.
ITO excuse is to accuse" runs an old
proverb. Be honest with yourself,
be manly, be true, and stoop not to
do in secret what you are not willing
that all men shall know.

SHABBY TREATMENT.

|
Just what is to be lone regarding the
Woodbridge creek bridge is a matter that is
interesting the people of this section Of the
county greatly at this time. 1t will be re-
membered that the excuse given by the Board
of Freeholders last winter, when a demand
it could be put into operation, was that work
could not be carried on during the winter
months as it would be impossible for the &C.
ment to set. The winter passed and all sum-
mer long the people have been waiting, put
ting up with the annoyance Of transferring
trolley cars and indulging in the foot race
across the bridge in order to get seats or, what
is still worse, waiting in the dingy little car
by the side Of the road, used as a waiting
room, for connections,
The contract for the alteration was finally
awarded and, after some more delay was duly
signed. We were informed last week by Free
holder Casey, who has charge Of this work,
that the contractor would be given until last
Monday to begin operations. Failing to do so
it was said steps would be taken for re-adver
Using for bids. So far as can be seen nothing
has been done at the bridge towards starting
the work and at the regular meeting Of the
freeholders Thursday afternoon no action was
taken regarding the matter.
Really, patience is about exhausted. 1t will
soon be time for the old excuse that the work
cannot be done during the winter. In the
meantime the people from Woodbridge and
Sewaren have discontinued, to a great extent,
coming to our city and our merchants suffer
as a consequence.
We hold that as Perth Amboy is the largest
contributor to the county treasury in the way
Of taxes, and as Woodbridge township stands
third, being exceeded only by New Brunswick
and this city, the people of Woodbridge and
Perth Amboy are entitled to better considera-
ton than they have received at the hands Of
the present county officials. Thousands Of
dollars nave been spent in the various sections
of the county where the amount Of county tax
received is insignificant compared with what
is paid by the people Of this section.
The freeholders claim that they have been
doing their best in the Woodbridge creek mat
ter, but we cannot see 1t that way. We feel
that in comparison with the amount of taxes
paid the county from this vicinity we should
have first consideration over the rest of the
county, rather than be attended to after all
the rest have been served. This policy has
been followed out aver since the present Board
Of Freeholders has been in existence. The road
through Woodbridge township, between
this city and Railway, was the last to be
fixed ;the replanking Of the county bridge
over the Raritan Is not yet finished. Perth
Amboy, itself, bore the expense Of replanking
a large section of 1t. So it goes all along the
line. The taxpayers Of this vicinity will prob
ably remember these things when it comes
time to choose new men to handle county
affairs.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, April 27-Well the Alaska Home Rule bill has
 passed the House, and now the all absorbing topic is "Will it get through the Senate ?"
 As has been stated previous fly, Congressman Bristow, an in surgent from Kansas and a
 friend of Clifford Pinchot, in- troduced in executive session of the Senate committee a res olution providing that no act ion be taken OH the Alaska ter ritorial bill until such time as the Senatorial committee can have an opportunity to visit AL aska and investigate the con- ditions for themselves. Pin chot is still hopeful that, with the election of Roosevelt, the resources of Alaska will be placed under the supervision of a bureau. The plan is to establish a kind of benevolent despotist with Roosevelt or Pinchot acting in the capcity of chief despots. Inferentially 1t might be stated that the gov ernment, through the various departments, has been invest igating Alaska for the past four teen or sixteen years, and dur ing that time has spent enough money in printing reports of in- vestigating officers and hear
 ings before committees to have built 1000 miles of railroad in the territory. Alaska has been a prolific cource of political conversation and flub dub. but
 has been productive of very lit tie practical legislation.
 Some of the Alaskans in Washington are optimestic enough to believe that. they are going to see working out of a poetical form of retributive jus- | tice, and with it, they hope to see the enactment of a law pro- viding for the construction of a railroad in Alaska before the session closes. There was somewhat of crisis in the Navy Department a few days ago when it was expected that intervention in Mexico would
 become necessary, and simul-
 taneously it was discovered that |the coaling stations on the Pa- cific were. practically empty and the navel vessels in hope

less condition for lack of fuel supply. A hurry up order for the charter of nine foreign ship 10 carry coal from Newport to the Pacific ocean, a distance of 1iO,OOO or i2,OOO miles for the use of the fleet, was issued by the Navy Department. Then il began to be bruited around by l the newspaper men-and some. lof them can do fairly good ljob of bruiting-that, in the event ofewar, the entire United States fleet would be called up on to convoy the colliers.
 l Then people began to ask why the Alaskan coal could not be used and several newspaper men answered the quary by saying that it was because Roosevelt-acting in the inter- ests of Clifford Pinchot, of the Steel Company and of the ow- ners of the Pocahontas coal flelds-had issued a proclamat- lion in 1906 in which he had 
 withdrawn all of the Alaskan coal fields from entry. Senator Reed Shoot, of Utah, chairman of the committee of naval af-i fairs, since that time has been asking some very embarrassing questions as to why the law has not been carried out by theLand Office officials in regard to those claims in Alaska which were located prior to the issu- ance of Roosevelt's arbitrary illegal proclamation. l The result uf these elnbar- rassing question, likely will be the construction by the govern ment of a railroad in Alaska as a war measure. The fact that the event of war with either Japan or Mexico, the American battle ships would be left help less and fuelless on the Pacific coast is at last becoming gen. erally known to the public and is bringing wrinkles of care and worry to the classic brows of the members of President Taft's cabinet.
