law the Board Of Freeholders Of this county
will be able to secure other lands than the site
on which the present Jail is erected to build a
new structure for the confinement Of prison
ers. This measure, of course, is introduced as
a result of the recent findings of the grand jury
which insisted that the freeholders were liable
to criminal indictment if they did not remedy
conditions in the present jail. The present
condition of this structure makes conditions
almost unbearable and is held to be a disgrace
to the county to have them continue.
As we understand Mr.. Burton's bill,
without having read it, there is nothing
to prevent the freeholders building a new Jail
in this city, in connection with the proposed
new court house. The law is already on the
statute books permitting the erection OF a court
house in other than the county seat town, and
with Mr.. Burton's bill enacted the way would
be clear for building a jail to go with the court
house here. 1t is plain that with such a build
ing in Perth Amboy, where prisoners convict
ed in the branch court house here could be con-
fined, the number of prisoners in the New
Brunswick Jail would be reduced thereby
making it perfectly feasible, by a few altera-
tons and cleaning, to continue the present jail
there for the accommodation of such prisoners
that may be confined at the county seat.
The movement for a branch court house In
this city appeals forcibly to every business
man, and a large majority that have ex-
pressed themselves are greatly in favor OF the
idea. The only argument that can be advanced
against the erection of such a building is the
expense. But, as has been pointed out In the
interviews in the EVENING NEWS, this eX-
pense would be more than offset by the con-
veniences of a court house in Perth Amboy.
We believe that before long the freeholders
will realize the full extent Of the public senti-
ment and steps to erect a branch court house IN
Perth Amboy will be taken before the present
year is closed.

COMMENT BY THE Press
SCHOOL OR JAIL.

xzz, -.
The children of Bridgeton must go to schooi or
the parents must go to jail, according to the dlctum
of Mayor Arthur c. Whitaker, unless there Is some
good excuse for non-attendance.
Some good reason would be a better term, per
haps, for never has a parent been hailed into court for
the non-attendance of a child but that some 'goo1 ex-
cuse' was offered.
1t may be added incidentally that an unsanitary
of the head will not be considered a valid
excuse for more than three days, as 1t is a matter OF
record that the medical inspector has declared three
days ample time to remedy such a condition-or at
least make such satisfactory progress that the pupil
will not be sent home.-Bridgeton News.
H~ENNESSY'S VOTE.
Assemblyman Hennessy followed up his vote
against the grade crossings measure. In both instances
ton of important platform pledges. If any one who
posed less as a progressive had two such blots on his
legislative record. he would not dare aspire to further
political p~referment. But can professions wipe out
Branch Record.
DOESN'T OOH EXACTLY RIGHT
The legality of the right of Acting Governor
Fielder to sit as presiding officer of the senate has been
declared by Attorney General Wilson. But 1t doesn't
look exactly right. Combining the executive and legis-
modern idea of government. We are inclined to agree
with the Newark Star when it says that New Jersey
should have q lieutenant governor.-Trenton State
Gazette.
What should be done with the Ztsgen Jury bill
with its tricky amendment Is to defeat 1t now in the
democratic lines, which will preserve to the people
their ancient rights and redeem the pledges In the
MONEY.
Money has its faults. Demagogues like to put 1t
on the oratorical Goals and roast it to a cinder. But
the fact remains that money to the extent that 1t makes
one independent, Is the quarantine that keeps vice and
dishonesty from the City
Press.
A~ssEMBLYMAN PORTER.
No native born son of Cape May would have be-
trayed the interests Of that county as Assemblyman
Porter did when he voted against equal county repre-
seqtation for the proposed constitutional convention.
W. Porter is OF foreign birth.

GOOD NEWS FROM BRIDGE.

1t is gratifying news that comes from the
Woodbridge creek bridge. The freeholders
visited the site Wednesday and found the work
progressing as well as could be expected. The
best of all was the statement that there is pros
poets of trolley cars using the structure within
q month. There is no doubt that the contractor
has had a difficult time in doing the work. 1t
was fortunate for him that the winter was mild,
otherwise the opening of the bridge to trolley
traffic would still be a long way off.
The early completion of the work will be wei
coined by the large number of people who use
the bridge. TIL annoyance in transferring
cars and waiting for connections cannot be real
lied by those who have not experienced it. Let
us hope that it will soon be over.

the two airmen seized him, bound
him hand and foot, dashed him to

CHANCE TO MAKE GOOD.

The city of Trenton is another municipality
to adopt the new excise ordinance. 1t is no.
ticed that there, too, a restriction has been
placed on the number of saloons so that there
shall be only one for every 500 inhabitants,
although none Of the present licenses are to
be disturbed unless for due cause. This
means, however, that there will not be a new
license granted in Trenton until the popula-
ton has been increased to the proportion men
toned.
The EVENING NEWS has repeatedly
called the attention Of the excise board OF tins
CITY to this movement all over the state.
! There are promised reforms to be made here
and among them is the reduction Of the num-
Der of saloons. The people have a right to eX-
pect that not only will the present excise board
refuse to grant any new licenses, but Will also
refuse to renew some of the licenses already
existing where it has been found that the
holders thereof have violated the excise ordl-
nance or where there are Objectionable feat
lres in connection with the places.
We have in mind two such licenses at the
present time. We understand the place at ~
Favette street, where a fire occurred a lew
nights ago, is being run, to all intents and pur-
noses. by a person who does not hold the IL
cense thereof, although his application Tor a
transfer in his own name is now before the
board. It is also significant that this man who
desires the license transferred to his name,
created a scene in at least two other barrooms
r. .,:~L+- oo,o which would Indicate that
he is not a fit person to hold a license.
There is also a place at the corner OF Smith
and Front streets being run at the present time
by a man who does not hold the license. Wal
liam Pfirrman. in whose name the license now
stands, has sold the place and the new owner
has already taken charge and MIR. Phrrman
has moved to Newark. Yet there has been no
transfer of the license and no application for
such transfer is before the board.
If the excise board will permit such acts as
these they cannot expect to hold the respect Of
the s~aloonkeepers. This transfer evil is one
of the greatest with which the board has to
contend. To turn down such applications and
close up the places entirely would not only re
duce the number of saloons in the city, but
would also be a lesson to the saloonkeepers
that they are not to be permitted to do as they
please under the new board.
The EVENING NEWS has received assur-
ances from the excise commissioners that they
mean what they say in regard to bringing
about reforms. There have been two adjourn
=. ments of the proposed excise amendments
which has caused various rumors to be circu-
lated. Stories have also been brought to the
NEWS to the effect that things were not as
they should be. We look to the excise board
to prove that those who circulated such re-
ports are mistaken. 1t is up to the excise
commissioners to do their duty.

Y. M. C. A. MAN
EAVORS COURT
Thinks Branch Here Would
Give City Prominence.

s. M. Lipscomb, secretary of the
local Y. M. G. A, believes that a
branch court house here would tend
to develop the city and would be to
the advantage of the citizens of this
part OF the county from an economic
standpoint. II think" he said,
knowing how the county is divided,
that Perth Amboy needs a court
house even more than New Bruns-
wick: 1t seems that the demand Is
great enough to justify the small
amount of taxes which the building
of court house would necessitate."
He thought that such an improve
ment in the increasing of the con-
Veniences of litigation would more
than repay the taxpayers for their
money spent in the enterprise. He
thought that not only taxpayers, but
the public in general would benefit
from tthe location of the county
court branch here. He spoke of the
laborer who is paid for the day and Is
called as witness to New Bruins
wick, and how the time he spends
at the county seat is docked from his
wages. Whereas, he probably may
have to spend two or more days at
Luc pEtSeuk iOChblO0 "a Tie CUuuLy
court, when 1t is at this place it
would require his absence from work
for only short time.
He thought the institution would
bring many people here who other
wise would not be attracted to this
place. He said: 1T would bring
many moneyed interests here, people
from all parts OF the United States
would come to the court, which
would create new business for the
commercial interests of the city"
Strangers would be induced to locate
at this place, he thought, after being
brought here through the necessity
of attending court, and that they
would buy property and later help In
the greater development of the city.
In speaking of the handsome build
ing feature of the proposition he
said: Il think town is largely
judged by stranger from the grade
of buildings which he sees. l be-
lieve the new Y. M. c. A. build
ing is going to be attractive and show
the right kind of progressive spirit,
and together with a handsome court
house, the present public library and
custom house, they would make last
ing impression on the stranger who
comes to visit this place or is brought
here through business connections
with the court. A handsome public
building, he says, signifies an air of
property which acts as O. magnet to
outsiders.
