Why Live Outside the City?
EVENING NEWS:

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
Reading the opinion from your
Amboy avenue correspondent, |
wish to add a few remarks in appre-
citation thereof. The map shows us
that the city OF Perth Amboy has "a
territory of considerable extent and
it Is hard to understand why there
should be such an immense differ
ence in land values as now exists,
as from less than 5000 to more than
$4,000 per lot for dwelling purposes.
| am well acquainted with the
present development of home build
ing around Fords and all the way to
Metuchen and ! know that the ma
jority of the settlers in that section
come from our city, and pay for
their land just as much, and in some
cases more than the same land
would cost within the city limits.
Allow me to point out a few reasons
as ! see them.
We know that the largest portion
Of our city, according to the map,
has no mail service, while people liv-
ing outside of the city limits have
their daily free delivery. Take the
road to Kinsey Corner. The people
who live on the Woodbridge side
of the road have their mail deliv-
cries, but the people living on the
Perth Amboy side must walk all the
way to the Perth Amboy p~ostofflce
for their mail. The water service
for the high parts of the town was,
for years, very poor. so that people
had to get out of bed at midnight to
tn,N x,yofrr fNr ,,na 1xrftNv tha 1ny
The water board themselves admit
ted that there was only air instead
of water in the pipes.
Our present trolley system is ok
tremely poor, a single track on two
streets leading through the city at
fords very little accommodation to
our own people. 1t does not go
through the residential sections and
does not connect the different parts
of the city with each other. 1t is
safe to say that ninety per cent Of
u population have little or no ben
eft of the present system. In short,
there is so many reasons why peo-
Pile living outside OF the city limit
could have more and better accom-
| modations than we have. But what
does his mean to the city at large?
1t means many-dollars counted by
i the thousands yearly in the way OF
taxation that now is used to promote
other municipalities, which by rights
should be used In our own city.
If our new Board of Trade. with
its different committees, should be
looking arouid for Jobs. let them
take up some of these matters. We
should have better railroad cross
ings in the form of bridges and
tunnels. where such could be had
naturally. The law says that the
railroads must provide for such.
Now why don't we get them? Let
the Board of Trade get busy.

ELECTIONS
A GREAT BATTLE.
sy WILLIAM n. BApDts.

Down at the national capital there
Is being waged a battle. While the
smoke Is ascending to the heavens,
for the moment hiding the issue, let
us consider its meaning.
Ours is a republican form OF gov
eminent, in which we elect men to
represent US in the making OF laws.
Does 1t not seem strange, therefore,
that having sent such representatives
to congress. 1t should be also neces-
sary to watch them, that they may
really represent us and not some
special interest? But eternal vigil
ance is the price of liberty" and fol-
low them we must. or they will bow
down before the almighty dollar.
We are a union of sovereign states,
each competent to make its W laws,
save whore they contravene the more
general laws enacted by congress for
the good of all. But 1t is a poor
rule that does not work both ways,
and Congress should see to it that
such laws are enacted as will enable
the various states to enforce what
they in turn have enacted as state
measures.
For instance, there are some states
that have placed upon their books
certain liquor laws, which laws are
rendered nugatory because the
United States laws permit mail order
liquor houses to express Intoxicating
liquors anywhere. In like manner,
while most states have prohibited the
sale of pistols, the United States laws
permit such to be expressed from
state to state. thus rendering the
state law not only a dead letter, but
a laughing stock.
Such police laws are well within
the rights of any state. and cannot
well be contravened directly by the
general government. The general
government is very touchy about
having its rights infringed upon by
any Of the states. The states in turn
have a right to demand that inter
state traffic. which has rightly beer
brought under the supervision Of the
general government, shall be so reg
ulated that whatever any state shall
declare 1t to be Illegal to sell withir
its own territory, 1t shall be equally
Illegal for anybody to EXPRESS into
that state for use by It's citizens.
One would think that a legislator
with half an eye would see that point
and he would. If he were not render
ed temporarily blind by the dazzle o
the gold of these same mail ordei
liquor houses. And so the battle. be
TWEEN the vested liquor interests o
the country, who do a mail orde
liquor business of some 20,000.00'
gallons annually, and the people
Ger the passage of the Kenyon bill
The issue is clear. 1t does not re
late to the personal use OF liquor
and indeed cannot be said to be Il
any way a TEMPERANCE measure. l
Is far broader than that, a question
of states rights, and the rights o
the people.

Neither Mr.. Beach nor his wife were
present In the courtroom when the

Progre siyes Are Determined.

EDITOR EVENING NEWS: O.,
AS a Progressive, and In sympa-
thy with this great work / have
noted the letters in your paper under
public opinion and surely indorse
each and every n Of them.
The ring" Republicans have 1t
all figured out very carefully in a
way that sounds plausible, and using
the words compromised to harmon
ize, etc, but 1t seems rather late
in the day to hand such proposition
to our fellow Progressives. Why
did they not use this sentiment at
the Chicago convention. and give the
people what our recent election
showed they wanted? ,.
Noting from one of our daily pa
pers that the local Progressives and
Republicans will unite together or
a harmony ticket, with harmony
candidates, the Republicans figure
with such a harmony party a major
ity Of 1000 in Perth Amboy and
make the election Of harmony candi-
dates a sure thing and safe bet.
1t would be rather nice to be a
sure winner, we will admit, but 1t
would be a barren victory. The de-
cen people would drop the Progress
sive party very suddenly. and well
that they might. incidentally, it
would be exactly the thing most de-
sired by the ring" Republicans. but
the Progressive expects to fight shy
Of this tempting proposition and I
hope they will nominate good honest
men entirely separate from old par
ties, and stick to them win or lose.
