JANE ADDAMS HEARD
IN SUFFRAGE CAUSE
Audience Is Impressed With
Speakers Pleas and 81 500
Is Taken in Collection.

Spr akors at the mass melting of the
National Council of Women Voters,
held at the Be.asCo Theater last night,
not only sent forth an interested, inn
pressed, and awakened audience. but
succeeded in collecting something like
1850 from them.
Miss Helen Todd, of California, for
mer State factory inspector of Illinois,
told just what the vote meant to 10000
California women. and what she had
seen behind the NO Admittance" signs
in the Illinois factories
Miss Mary Mcdowell, social worker Of
Chicago. drew picture of the garbage
disposal question. which was more in
teresting than it was savory.
Mrs. Jessie Stubbs, of Chicago. made
the telling collection speech. and recited
An original poem which called forth
enthusiasm from the audience. Last,
but by no means least, came that wom-
an whose name had drawn the greater
part OF the audience Miss Jane Adams,
of Hull House, Chicago.
When Miss Adams made her ap-
pearance on the platform she was
greeted with applause and was glVea
the Chautauqua salute. The burden "t
her speech was the array OF tacts con-
cerning woman's suffrage in european
countries. She looked. as she appedreu
on the stage of the Belasco. in rather
dark plum-colored gown of some soft
material. and trimmed with white lace
like the kindest of mothers.
The gown was neither Old-faShloned
nor modern. 1t seemed like Miss Ad-
dams herself. a dress the style of which
was as permanently adaptable as Miss
Addams' personal views. Very dispas-
slonately. and as quietly as though she
were talking to an erring child, she
explained the necessity of woman's $
vote in legislative, administrative and
judiciary matters.

Carranza in Charge.
Indicating a general concentration OF
Mexican rebel forces at Durango, the
Stat Department received today dis
patch stating that Gov. Venustiano
Carranza, leader of the revolution, has
arrived at that city with mis- stan and
taken charge of the rebel troops.
The movement follows a disastrous
defeat of the rebels at Torreon earlier
in the week, when 500 troops under
CarIanza were defeated by the federals
witt heavy losses in killed. wounded,
ar1 captured.
The American consul at Durango re-
ports that the remnants of the troops
beaten at Torreon are retreating toward
Durango. and that the LATTER city is
now full Of troops. Apparently the
rebel Chieftain is preparing Tor Dig
attack on that city and in the retreat
the railroad between Torreon and Du-

THE SUFFRAGETTES' EXAMPLE.

1t is interesting to note that the Newark Ply
steal Culture Society has determined to take a
two days t'hike" from that city to Newfound-
land, in the upper part Of the state. This is a
direct result of the example set by the suffra-
gettes, who are marching from New York to
Washington. We can criticize these women as
much as we want to, ridicule their efforts too, but
the fact remains that they have set a worthy ex-
ample for thousands Of people whether interested
in woman's suffrage or not.
Walking is recognized as the best exercise a
person can take. 1t brings every muscle Of the
body into play and fills the lungs with pure
air. These ladies now marching to Washington
may not win their cause, but they ought to be
greatly improved physically as a result of their
efforts. g.
If other people would follow their example, as
far as walking is concerned, to get out of door
on long jaunts, it would make a different race of
us, for we are becoming more and more cooped
up in Offices and factories, where fresh air and
exercise are next to impossible.

LOCAL POSTAL FACILITIES.

Agitation for better post Office facilities in this
city is once more on. With the merchants along
State street clamoring for an earlier delivery in
the morning; with the people of the
section calling for delivery at any time, as long
as the mail is brought to their door, and with
North Amboy asking for a sub-station in that
locality, it looks as if things would be doing be-
fore very long.
Postmaster Pfeiffer, it is understood, sees the
necessity of an increase in the clerical force at
the post Office, and has asked the authorities at
Washington for more help. At the same time a
bill is pending in congress providing that the
eight hours which the letters carriers are supposed
to serve for a days work, must all be within ten
consecutive hours. This means that if they go
to work at 6 O'Clock in the morning which is
necessary for the early delivery, they cannot be
compelled to work after 4 o'clock in the after
noon. Thus the late afternoon delivery is likely
to be abolished if this law goes through, unless

CHANCE FOR TAFT'S VETO,

What a fine thing it would be if President
Taft should close his administration with a good,
strong veto of the famous "pork barrel bill
which is being railroaded through congress. This
measure is one of the boldest pieces of graft that
has been jammed down the throats of the public
in a long time.
The pork barrel' bill, as it is popularity
known, carries the appropriation which congress
makes for fedora buildings in vara2sA
of the country. 1t is a notorious fact that such
buildings are constructed in many towns where
there is no need for such equipment solely for
the purpose of gaining prestige for the congress
men of that district.
Millions of dollars are thus expended every
year which in most cases is an absolute waste of
the government funds. In the meantime, such
c~ongested centers as New York, Philadelphia and
other cities are ignored. Our important water
ways are neglected the navy is cut down to
fourth or fifth class, and pensions for government
employees are refused.
This year the pork barrel" bill carries $25,
100000. In order to gain enough votes to put the
bill through appropriations have been made for
government buildings in congressional districts
where there was no request for them. 1t was
merely a bid for the vote of the congressman
coming from that district. In many eases, we are
sorry to say, the congressman have yielded to the
temptation. And because they have been "taker
care of they line up for the bin, and it is rail
roaded through the House in forty minutes.
A rumor comes from Washington that President
Taft will veto this outrage when the bill reaches
him. President Taft has done a great many things
during his administration for which he has been
criticized, but we are certain that should he veto
this measure he would pass out of Office with the
praise of practically every patriotic citizen ring
ing in his ears. Let us hope he will do his duty.

an addition in the letter carrier force is made,
Out of all this something ought to be accomp-
lished for the advancement Of the postal facili-
ties in this city. Perth Amboy is worthy of
more consideration than it is receiving, and with
congress spending over $25, 0 5000 for the cree
ton of federal buildings in towns Of 5000 and
from $4,000 to 100000 each, it is high time
Perth Amboy received the facilities that it is
entitled to.
1t is to be hoped that Postmaster Pfeiffer will
succeed in bringing about some improvement.
He should have the united support of every Or
ganization in the city in his efforts.

COMMENT BY THE PEOPLE
DISMISSAL OF HEALTH INSPECTOR.

EDITOR EVENING NEWS
Judging by the action Of the Board of pealth at their
meeting last evening In Diminishing Food Inspector
Mikolajczak, an intelligent, painstaking and efficient
officer. from the services of the board, the inducements
to perform the duties of that Office are not very en-
couraging. In fact, 1t is an office that should be avoid
ed rather than sought after by any self-respecting per-
son. The premium put on the office by the action re-
ferred to would tend to bring 1t within the time serving
grade, especially as 1t does not seem that the person
appointed thereto has any special qualification for the
1t was the ambition of the last Board OF Health to
bring the. health conditions in this city to as high q
--fAA1ioneas circumstances and the finances
at their disposal WOMB .4&hhslt Of Y was 12-keepiagg
with this policy that Mr.. MikolaJczak was engaged as
food inspector, especially that of meat inspector, having
special qualifications for that duty, being a practical
butcher.
He also had other qualifications which were very
advantageous to him in the discharge Of his duties.
These were, first. he was brought up in the city and
educated In its schools and therefore familiar with the
talk to the people with whom he had to come In con-
tact in the discharge of his duty in their own languages
or dialects; he was conversant with the handling and
exposing for sale Of other food sturs. having had years
OF experience in that respect. Besides he has natural
intelligence. 1t was for these and no other considera-
lions that Anton Mikolajczak was appointed food in
spector by the last Board of Health. He performed his
duties in an intelligent, efficient. jealous and satisfac-
tory manner without fear or favor, which zealousness
or would be and will be offenders against the general
welfare.
His dismissal was a small business, and hose respon-
sible for 1t should be sized up accordingly; and the
city does not gain anything by the change.

EDITOR EVENIN

EDITOR EVENING NEWS
/ see In the NEWS the health commissioners have
taken summary action in regard to Anton ]. Miko-
la1c7ak. 1t is the opinion Of many with whom I have
talked to about this man and his work. that he was
not altogether wrong. While subordinates must live
up to certain rules laid down by their superiors, to
keep order in the camp, yet we think this inspector
was a good man for the people. II a person commits
a felony, do the police warn him not to do 1t again Z?
Methinks not. Or II brought before a judge, Is he let
OFF with a warning? No. And l do not see why the
Board of Health should warn these law-breaking mer-
chants who take a chance OF running the peoples
health by selling meats or any other kind OF food stuff
that is not right, or selling under weight. This Is the
work the discharged inspector was doing, LOOKING after
these people in the interest Of the public and doing a
good work.
There may be more behind the doors we know
nothing about. but to the public 1t does not look like
justice to the inspector.
