Wonder
men
By Walt MASON

/ wonder why we often know a strong desire for
sleeping when to the synagogue we go to hear the
pastors sweeping discussion of the vital themes? what
is the strange incentive? Why do we snore and roam
in dreams when we should be attentve? Insomnia
may rack our heads when we're remote from preach
ing; we toss and founder on our beds, for slumber
vainly reaching; but in the quiet house of prayer we've
no such frantic battle; we sleep and dream and saw
the air with cross-cut shores that rattle. wonder
why 1t always rains when we have planned excursions,
as picnics in the woods or plains, or kindred mild diver
sions? wonder why my neighbours pup his noisy
watch is keeping, when ] am trying to make up some
large arrears of sleeping? ] wonder why the rooster
crows so early in the morning, when people. reused
from their repose. shout words of wrath and scorning?
/ wonder as walk abroad among the men who bore
most, why things are all SO wapperjawed and fierce and
hindend foremost?

COMMENT BY THE PEOPLE
TIL EXCISE BOARD.

EDITOR EVENING NEWS
Why not cut out this batting OF our excise board.
Nagging never accomplished anything and is very apt
to defeat the desired end. These men have not been
at work long enough 70 get any reform properly start
ed Your editorial. stand Firm" insinuates that they
are already webbing on the platform which elected
them This ia unfair These men are strangers to me.
They received my vote on the strength of the deelara-
ton OF principles made public through your columns.
That declaration appealed to me by Its straightforward
they made 1t. / believe them to be SO still.
AS l remember it. IT declared for no specific reform
methods. ! am positive there was no mention of high
er license. 1t seems that this proposition came from
one member of the board and so far he has not sue
ceeded in persuading the others to accept 1T.
Is it not possible for them to have honest convictions
against this measured? There may be good reasons FOR
increasing the license fee. Perhaps the best would be
that the city needs the money, but. when you urge 1t
as a reform measure and say that 1t is because you
want to see the liquor business in the hands OF "iegiti-
mate business men, it sounds like clubbing. Can
you show where advancing the license fee has abated
any evils which are supposed to be caused by the
saloon?
Has it ever been proven that there is less misery,
one thousand or two thousand dollars than where it Is
two or one hundred or where the business is not sub
iect to this tax? Has raising the license fee reduced
the number of saloons anywhere? If so. why bother
with the proposed bill to limit the number of saloons
according to population?
would monopoiize the newspaper circulation OF New
Jersey. Any clergyman would mQHopohze the church
in l4is1ewR If he~could, and likewise many
would hail with delight the proposition
to limit their number. But where does the square
DEAL come in, in the measure? Square deal is simply
twentieth century slang for a good, old-fashioned word,
Honesty, and it has no degrees. If we are honest with
the saint, what are we if we are not SO with the sinner?
There is another point we should remember while
criticizing the Excise Board, viz, that it is but one de-
partment of our city government. If there are un-
sanitary conditions prevailing, there is a department
which should clean them up. If there are vice dens,"
Il confess l have never seen any during fifteen years
residence here) there is a department which should
look after them.
1t is bad practice to use the terms "vice dens," "un-
sanitary conditions" THE "vice den" would be better
and more likely to produce results. l feel sure H
vice dem would get no license.
Sincerely yours,
0. J. CAULFIELD,

GOOD WORK.

The confidence which the EVENING NEWS
has had in the new excise board from the be-
ginning has not been misplaced. The amend
ments and supplement to the excise or
night show that the commissioner mean bust
ness. They realize the feeling of the people
and are not going to d%isappoint them. They
are to be commended for the stand they have
taken in the face of so many powerful inaaa-
e2ces Things remain as in the
.=--.ST IsvAys to have passed only a few
NJ 40 ss reform rules for the purpose OF fool
ing the people. There is no sham about the
changes in the ordinance introduced last night.
Perth Amboy is bound to be a better place
to live in as a result of this ordinance. 1t is
a long step in the right direction. It places
Perth Amboy in line with her sister cities that
read rightly the signs of the times and are
raising excise affairs to a higher plane.
Now for the final passage and enforcement
Here is where the people expect the police to
do their duty. There should be careful team
work between the excise board and the police
department. The excise commissioners are
showing the way. Let us all work together fol
the betterment of the city in which we live.

COMMENT RY THE PRESS

A Chicago engineer has a scheme Of pumping coal
from the Illinois fields to Chicago by pipe line. He has
seen stones six inches in diameter carried more than
half a mile from Lake Michigan, through leaky, irregu-
larly laid pipes, and believes that coal can be pumped
by hydraulic power and at a cost impossible for the
railroads to meet. 1t sounds plausible, when 1t is re-
called that oil Is transported several thousand miles
by pipe line from the western fields to Bayonne and
South Elizabeth.-Trento Times.

GOOD ROADS DAY

Albuquerque Mayor Takes

Albuquerque, n. NJ, Aug. Fifty
two automobiles, manned with able

distributed along the road from here to
Is1etas would mean a quarter of a mile
to the automobile The crew of even
small automobile could work a quarter
Of a mile of road in a days time and
have a good margin to spare. There
are five times that many automobiles
in albuquerque, and 1 now call for
volunteers to come out on September
10 and show what Albuquerque is will
ing to DO towards making Good Roads
day a success
Again, there are many hundreds Of
good women in Albuquerque who are
interested in good roads and whose
husbands fathers or SWeetheaFtS own
automobiles. I feel sure that these
women would be glad to come out on
Good Roads day and feed Us L my
self, propose TO be in the thick Of
things, and I believe that the people of
Albuquerque who realize the immense
importance to the community Of good
roads, viii turn out in force on Sep

buquerdIe viii be proud of-'--Mayor
.. K B. Sellers.
Albuquerque has taken hold OF the
idea. OF Good Roads day with a ven
geance., and the prospects are that
there VIII hardly be enough picks and
shOVefS in the state to supply the de-
mand for them on September 10, by
citizens who propose to turn out and,
BY the exercise of some elbow grease"
show their faith in the good roads
movement by their work with the i'm
plements which go to make good roads
Mayor Sellers has taken an active
and leading part in the movement as
is shown by his interview printed
above
The action Of governors Major Of Mis-
souri,, and Hodges, of Kansas, in lead
ting a similar movement in AIissOri, and
of going out and doing actual work on
the roads while their wives served
meals to the workers and while several
hundred thousands of constituents
Joined in the general movement for
good roads has proved an inspiration
for citizens of every state in the
union.
The matter Of a general celebration
OF Good Roads day by actually working
on the roads, has been taken up by
the New Mexico Good Roads associa-
ton, of which Col Ralph z. Twitchel,
of Las Vegas, is president, and a set
Of resolutions has been passed by the
executive committee, which proposed
that on the 10th day of September
every able bodied man in the state by
actual labor on that day or by a con-
tribution in payment for one days
labor, perform his duty as a citizen in
making necessary repairs upon exist
ing roads
