IMPROVEMENTS AT STATION.

The fact that painters are at work on the
interior of the Central railroad station means
progress. But as the old building has an
overhauling of this kind every once in a
while, there is nothing in this work to show
that the railroad is complying with the re-
cent recommendations Of the Public Utility
Commission These recommendations call for
additional light along the station platform
and the paths leading thereto, and also easier
steps leading from the upper platform to the
track level. Likewise, increased seating ca
pacity in the two waiting rooms.
Perhaps the railroad is beginning with the
usual painting operation and will eventually
get to the other improvements which are so
badly needed. With the additional seating
capacity inside the station there should be
sufficient light so that it would be possible to
read a newspaper in any part of the room.
The people will wait patiently the finishing Of
the painting and see what follows,
It is several weeks now since the railroad
has signified it's intention of making the i'm
provements suggested and it would seem that
it is about time to show results.

n COUNTY BUDGET.

That the county tax budget for 1918 shows a
decrease compared with 1912 is a matter Of
qualification to those who must pay the taxes.
The freeholders have devoted a great deal of
time to making out the budget this year and
some very close pairing is noticed. If the
county board can get through the year on the
basis it has fixed for itself it will have good
ground for pointing to it's record as a cam
'paign argument when the members come up
for reelection next fall.
But as desirable as a reduction in county eX-
.penses is, necessities ought not to be neg
nanclally. For instance, W. note a reduction of
over 1927, 900 in the appropriation for high
ways. In the bridge account, also, there is a
saving of nearly $4,000. Perhaps the free
holders feel that they have the roads and
bridges of the county in such excellent condi
ton that they can let up a little in the ex-
penditures this year. In view of the great in
crease in automobile traffic, especially in
trucks and vans, it is a question whether such
a reduction in the appropriation for these two
features i'll county expense is warranted.
We note also a s%urrogate's deficit of 1851
80 for 1912 placed in the 1913 budget. The
sheriff's deficit of $3,140.91 in the 1912 bud
get has increased in the 1913 appropriations to
$3,5ll.76. Evidently these offices are not
being run within the amount appropriated for
them or there would be no deficit. AT least,
there would be no increase in the deficit.
However, the mere fact that the freeholders
have started out with a determination to get
through the year ON less money is encouraging,
Let us hope that they have figured well and see
their way clear For keeping within the appro-
.priations. They will be entitled to all the
praise they may receive if they succeed in cut
ting down the budget by $21 900 and at the
SAME time keep the county in first class con
dition,

SAVE THE PALISADES.

The effort to make an interstate park Of the
Palisades along the Hudson should be ell
c%ouraged. The report of the New jersey com
missioners, that has just been submitted,
shows progress in this work. Americans are
accused Of being a nation of money grabbers,
caring absolutely nothing about the beauties of
nature and the attractiveness of life excepting
when a few dollars are to be made. Such nat
ural beauties as the Palisades along the Hud-
son would soon have been destroyed by the
quarrymen if the legislatures of New York
and New Jersey had not taken steps to pre-
vent further depreciation.
We find the same thing in connection with
Niagara Falls and many of the natural
beauties of the West. 1t is gratifying to
know that New Jersey is doing her part in
preserving one of the greatest natural beau
ties in America. The Palisades should be re-
tanned as they are for the benefit of posterity,
and improved as much as possible by the es-
tabllshment of a park along the top where a
beautiful view of the Hudson river can always
be had. .
A few years ago Mrs. f. H. Hartman Of
fered a large tract of land that adioins the
Hartman estate for the purpose of extend
ing the proposed park along the Hudson,
making it one of the most magnificent forest
parks in the world.
America is far behind Europe in this mat
ter but, of course, there is reason for this, as
Europe was being developed for centuries be-
fore the first clearing had been made on which
to erect the log cabins for the early settlers.
That we are making rapid progress is evi-
dent and it is the duty of New Jersey to see
that this state takes it's proper place in car
rying on this great work.

THREATENED RAILROAD STRIKE.

Once more the East is threatened with a
tie-up Of transportation through a possible
strike of the locomotive fremen. It was but
a short time ago that the locomotive engineers
made demands which came near bringing on a
strike. Eventually arbitration was resorted
to, however, aud while neither side got what
it asked for, both abided by the decision and
that danger passed. Now the fremen have
taken up the agitation and threaten to leave
their locomotives unless their demands are
granted.
The railroads now play such an important
part in modern business that a quarrel be
tween the railroads and their employees would
affect the public, that might be called the
party of the third part, even more than it
would the company or the employees. There
fore, the people should have some considera-
ton in such a dispute as is now on.
1t seems there is a difference between the
companies and the firemen over arbitration.
The railroad companies issued a statement
saying that it desired to arbitrate, but the
firemen had refused. Now the iremen come
back with the statement that they were only
too willing to. place their cause in the hands
Of an arbitration board, but the railroad
would not agree. 1t is evident, therefore, that
both desire arbitration and only a mere tech
nicality keeps them apart. This ought to be
easily settled so that there should not even
be a thought Of a strike. Both the company
and the firemen should get together and
thresh out their differences through the most
approved method, both sides abiding by the
result.
II the threats to tie up the railroads, upon
which the prosperity of the country almost en-
tirely depends, continue, the public must re-
sort to some means whereby they can take
complete charge of the situation and compel
recognition On the part of both employees and
the employers. Civilization has advanced too
far to allow a difference between the en-
ployes and the employers to disrupt such a
large section Of the country. IF not public
ownership then public control will be the re-
suit. But we do not believe that such a strike
will be permitted, even at this time. Both
sides realize the consequences of such a tle-up
and neither would care to involve the public
to the extent that a strike would cause.

TROUBLES OF TWEEDY
 ARE COMING FAST

Little Rock, March 24-Tbe troubles of police Judge w. M Tweedy are now coming thick and fast, and a special meeting ot the City Council will be held Monday night at which arrange ments will be made for impeach> ment proceedings which will be heard in the near future by the entire council sitting as an in quisitorial body. The charges will be preferred by Mayor Chas k. Taylor and the Police Commit tee,
 The charges against Police Judge Tweedy are to be numer. ous, according to the members of the Council, though an alleged assault made upon members of the restricted district of the city are said to be the base of all charges. The real charge will be
 conduct unbecoming of 8 city official, and all others must be brought out of this, Three wo. men of the red light district de- clare they were severely beaten by Police Judge Tweedy and have made charges against him before the Police Committee.
 It IS stated that the evidence presented before the council will also be taken before the Grand Jury, as one member Of that body is also a member of tbe county inquisitorial board, There IS also a report in circulation that government officials will be present at the hearing to deter mine if there is any ground for white slavery action by the Fed eral Grand Jury. It is reported that Judge Tweedy demands an early hearing, in order to have it over before time for his re.elec- tion in April. Should the hear ing not be completed by that time, there will probably be op- position by an independent can didate, and should Judge Tweedy be removed from office the City Democratic committee will be re- quested to act and take his name from the ticket.
