TO INCORPORATE VILLAGE.
To Up-Build Territory and Provide
PasSabIe Roads.

A meeting to take the first steps
toward the Incorporation as village
of that territory adjacent to Camp
Parole, has been called by a number
of taxpayers and voters for Monday
night.
The meeting will be held in the
hall near Edwards Chapel, and the
meeting will be open to every one
who is interested in the upbuilding
of the territory bounded by Broad
Greek to the Reservoir, to Best Gate,
to Cow Hide branch road and thence
by an imaginary line drawn to the
intersection of the South River road
with the Camp Parole road and then
down the west side of the South
River road to South River.
This action is the result of the gen.
eral neglect, incompetency and failure
on the part of those having the mat
ter in hand to provide passable roads.
1t is claimed that the amount of taxes
paid by residents OF the section would
be sufficient to build and keep up the
best possible roads but each time an
alleged effort is made to improve
the roads their condition is made
worse.
II is claimed that this section has
increased in value by reason of a large
number Of new houses being erected,
almost double what it was a few
years ago, but instead of taxes being
decreased they have been increased.
The meeting will be called promptly
at O'Clock and anyone in the de-
scribd section is welcome to attend.

Taking Chances!

Just ABOUT now some of the less care
/ fully edited papers are full of alluring
and misleading advertisements telling
/ of preinventOry and after inventory
I sales; discount sales with discounts
ranging anywhere from 10 10 100 per
| cent. January Sales and February
Sales and host Of other misnamed pit
falls.
Now the sensible person must be
struck by the thought that the dealer
| offering such eXtravagant discounts
must have been either a rascal before
or a fool now Either he must have
made extortionate profits before or he
is lying now There may be a reason
for selling stale bread at half price but
staple goods always have a standard
value.
Sometimes, if you are wiser than
the ordinary mortal. you may pick up
'snap" at such sales. But that
is only bait and if you buy anything
else besides the article expressly men
toned in the ad you will be caught.
Its something like the card shark los
ing dollar to the novice to get his
pile.
The discriminating person knows
that the only thing ever given for
nothing is board at the county jail.
Hence such a person is never taken in
by such offerings as trading-stamps,
premiums and so-called sales. It's
mighty poor article that has to be
given away with trading stamps. The
intelligent person is willing to pay for
what he gets but insists on getting
what he pays for.
To. be sure then that you are getting
IL r.
look up the dealer who sells advertised
lines. The prices are Fixed and regu-
lated by the maker and are uniform
everywhere. Advertised lines have
built up a reputation, and to maintain
that reputation they must make the
thing good and that goes for quality.
And the price must be moderate and
that is where you get economy.
The regular advertised price paws a
fair profit-no more, no less. ANY
asking more imposes on YOU.
Any dealer asking less must reimburse
himself on other goods Of unknown
value. If you are going to gamble
with values and take your chances. YOU
will lose in the long run. Hadn't you
better deal with a reputable store that
always offers STANDARD Goods. Stand
ard Values and at STANDARD Prices.
We are agents for all the leading ex-
elusive lines-the kind that are not
sold on bargain counters, by mail order
houses or that have to be given away
with trading stamps. Here are a few

FOR A PUBLIC DOCK.

The harbor board cannot take steps any too
soon toward securing a site for a public dock.
Everyone agrees that we have a matchless
.harbor, which is to be greatly improved by
deepening the channels. But the city, as a
municipality, is not in a position to derive any
benefit. 1t is a matter of wonderment to those
who are familiar with harbor conditions else
where, and who visit the port of Perth Am
boy, that We have not taken better advantage
of what nature has given us. This neglect is
about to be remedied through the appoint
ment of a harbor board which is getting dow
to work. A municipal dock, and a harbor
master to regulate the vessels in port are the
first essentials. Other improvements along
this line are bound to follow. The best feat
ure in connection with spending money for
harbor development is that the investment is
bound to pay for itself and ought to mean a
substantial income for the city besides.

PERTH AMBOY AND UTILITY BOARD.

While County Clerk B. NJ. Cannon was sui
fering with a serious affection of the eye and
there was som doubt as to whether or not
he would become totally blind, the hope for
his recovery and the saving Of his sight, was
the only thing thought of by his many friends,
and the fact that his name had been mentioned
in connection with the appointment to the
State Board of Public Utility Commissioners
was practically forgotten. Now that Mr.. Gan
non is on the road to recovery however, and
will soon be among us again with his friendly
smile and hearty hand shake, we believe
Perth Amboy should arouse herself to the
desirability of getting Mr.. Cannon on the
Public Utility Board.
That the place will go to a Democrat is

OUT IN THE OPEN, GENTLEMEN.

Why was it necessary for the excise board
to receive the delegation of liquor dealers be-
hind closed doors, Thursday night?
Was there anything in the request of the
liquor dealers that the public should not have
heard?
Are the excise commissioners entering into
any secret understanding with the saloon
keepers and hotel proprietors?
Why arouse suspicion and cause criticisms
by star chamber proceedings?
The excise boards dealings are primarily
with liquor dealers, Why, then, should they
be ashamed to be seen in their company that
they should sneak off into a private room,
draw the curtains and bolt the doors when the
liquor dealers appear for a hearing?
Or did the liquor men request q private
hearing9 If SO, they should have been given
to understand that the day of private hearings
has passed; that if they have anything to say,
the open meeting is the place to say it, where
everyone can hear.
Cut out the secrecy connected with excise
affairs, gentlemen, both at hearings and in
balloting, and let the light of publicity shine
on every transaction. If everything is honest
and fair there is nothing to be afraid of. 1t
is the peoples business. They are greatly in
t~erested, especially in excise affairs. and they
have a right to know what is going on. Cor
ruption alone seeks the darkness.
Already rumors are beginning to be circu-
lated about the new excise board. 1t is even
being said that indications are that it will be
as bad as its predecessor. The great majority
of the people, however, refuse to credit such
remarks, and still place their confidence in the
men who were elected to improve things. But
when the critics point to the continuation of
the secret ballot, and the star chamber meet
ings with a delegation of liquor dealers, how
are the friends of the new commissioners 60
ing to defend the board?
1t is a serious matter, gentlemen. The first
Impressions count most. Cut out the secret
ballot and the private hearings and get out in
the open. Have everything done where the
people can see and hear it all. If everything
Is on the level there is nothing to be afraid of.
1t is the only way to allay suspicious.

certain. Mr.. Cannon is close to Governor Will
son and has done good work for him.
That his name will receive serious consider
alton there can be no doubt. If Middlesex
is to secure this appointment Mr.. Cannon is
the only man now who can get it.
Realizing this, Perth Amboy should line up
behind his candidacy regardless of party aft
~liations. Put aside politics and think what
it would mean to Perth Amboy to have a man
from this city on the Public Utility board.
The elimination of grade crossings through
out the state is about to be provided for by
law. The utility board will have an import
ant part in saying which Of these death-traps
shall be removed first. 1t is not hard to realize
what it would mean to Perth Amboy to have
a man on the board who is thoroughly familiar
with local conditions.
Perth Amboy wants a new railroad station
and it is within the power Of the Public Utility
Commission to compel the railroad to give us
one. We want an extension Of the trolley lines
Utility Commission who is familiar with all
these things could do much for Perth Amboy.
We do not mean to say that Mr.. Cannon
would discriminate in favor Of his home city.
Those who know him best know better than
that to suppose such a thing. But we are con-
WINGED that once the Board Of Public Utility
Commissioners fully realized the conditions
here they would be unanimous in favor Of
granting the demands of the city. But a reali-
cation Of these facts cannot be had by the
visit Of an inspector for a few hours in the
middle Of the day.
Mr.. Cannon is well qualified to serve as a
Public Utility commissioner. His life has been
spent in working for corporations that do a
a position to understand a question from the
corporations standpoint as well as from the
public's point of view. He has had training
for the place in the public Offices he has held,
and, altogether should make an excellent
commissioner
Perth Amboy should start at once to see
what can be done toward getting the appoint
ment for him. Much valuable time has been
lost, it is true, but, as said before, the first
concern of his friends was to get him well.
Now that his recovery is but a matter of a
few days, let's get busy.
We are all trying to boost Perth Amboy
these days. What better foundation for future
work along this line could be laid then to get
a local man on the Public Utility boards
While we believe the Board of Trade should
keep it's hands out of politics, we think it
would be entirely proper for that body to
heartily endorse Mr.. Cannon for this place.
His appointment is not a question of politics
as far as Perth Amboy is concerned, it Is a
matter Of putting the city in an influential
and commanding position for ''talking Perth
Amboy" in a way that would count.
