why" said Jimmerson, eying Haw-

reading is perfect nonsense; that there
is absolutely nothing in il, and that,
therefore, your ten dollars are perfectly
safe"

SENATE HOLDS HEARING
Former Congressman Hill of Connect
cut Says Government Would Con-
troll Personal Credit.

Governmental control of personal credit
throughout the entire country will be the
result of the passage of the administra-
tion currency bill in its present form,
according to Ebenezer ]. Hill, Of Nor
walk, Conn, who appeared before the
Senate Banking and Currency Commit
tee yesterday.
The former CONGRESSMAN said that for
some reason the administration bill had
been changed four times in radical man.
ner. As it was first prc: sed, he said,
il was a straight gold redemption bill
and met his views Of reform. He said
the bankers of Connecticut and Vermont
were unanimously opposed TO 1t.
Sol Wexler, of New Orleans, told the
committee that the House bill would be
imperative and that if passed in its pres
ent form ''yeu will have a bill, but no
bank" George NJ. Reynolds, Of Chicago,
agreed that the two features most re-
puIsive to bankers are those denying
them representation on the Federal re-
serve board and compelling them to en-
ter into the system.
Reserve Board Discussed.
We do not want to be compelled to
buy something, we do not want" said
-ar Reynolds, nor to own something In
the management of which We have no
voice"
Senator Nelson entered upon discus
sion of the causes of the panic of 1907
and asked if the prohibition of the pay
ment of all interest on deposits by banks
would not tend to break down the con-
centration of money in New York and
its use for call loans. Reynolds agreed
that this was true but said that un-
less at the same time banks were per-
mitted to reduce their reserves interest
rates would necessarily go up and the
cost of living further increased.
Former Congressman Hill denied the
right of the government to make legal
tender the notes proposed TO be Issued
by the government and twelve reserve
banks. He said the right of issue should
be confined exclusively to one or the
other and that the liability should be
similarly confined.

BRANCH COURT HOUSE POPULAR

That local public sentiment is almost unani-
nous in favor of branch court house here is
evident from the many interviews that have
been published in the EVENING NEWS dur
ing the past few days 1t has already been
shown that practically half of the cases that
come before the court originate in this i'm
mediate vicinity, which includes the towns
lying along the Staten Island sound. When
1t is taken into consideration that Perth Am
boy is much more accessible to such towns as
Old Bridge, Spotswood, Jamesburg and Gran
bury In the southern end of the county, and to
South Plainfeld, New Market and Dunellen in
the northern end of the county, 1t is evident
that the Board of Freeholders would be JUST
fed in taking the step that Is being urged.
The petitions now being circulated in this
city are being literally signed. There ought
to be no trouble In securing petitions that
will impress the freeholders when they are pre-
sented. Besides Perth Amboy the petition
should be circulated in surrounding towns so
as to show that the sentiment is not entirely
local affair.
A branch court house in Perth Amboy would
not only mean a great deal to the city as a
municipality, but would also afford great ac
commodation, meaning a saving to hundreds

ADDITIONS TO POLICE FORCE

By the addition Of two men to the police
force Chief Burke is able to rearrange posts
in which the city is divided so as to give bet
ter protection to the citizens. This has been
one of the greatest necessities facing the
city and it is gratifying to know that the i'm
provement has been accomplished.
1t is admitted, however, that the force with
even two additional men is not what is re-
quired in a city Of this size and character. We
have not enough men ON duty days and it is
q recognized fact that the beats patrolled at
night are entirely too long for any one man
to cover 1t is because of this condition that
robberies are frequent and other crimes are
committed which we believe could be stopped
if the police force was Of sufficient size.
The additional post in the southern section
Of the city will be welcomed by the people
living in that vicinity because at present they
are the ready prey Of any band Of robbers
that choose to operate here. Heretofore one
man was supposed to cover the whole terri
tory south Of Smith street and east Of the
Central railroad This Is a good sized town
IN ltSel1 ana Tor city OF THIS character 1t was
ridiculous to expect that proper protection
could be given by single patrolman.
1t is understood that the chief has a plan
mapped out whereby, with the addition of
one more patrolman, besides the two that
have just been appointed, he believes he could
cover the city to the best advantage with
force of this size If the chief has such plan
it hould be laid before the city authorities at
once and, if deemed feasible, the mayor and
aldermen should take steps to give the chief
the additional man requested
If the entire force can be made more effect
i've by this one man there is no reason why it
should not be given, particularly as the people
are unanimously in favor Of larger police
force and while the taxpayers might not be
able at this time to stand the expense Of a
force really commensurate with the needs of
the city, we believe they would be perfectly
willing to see three new men on the force,
making one more than has already been made.

FOR FOOD INSPECTOR

With the resignation Of Louis Smith as food
inspector, the Board of Health is called upon
to fill most important position. The people
have become fully aroused to the necessity Of
pure food. The campaign which has been
carried on by various publications and numer-
Gus societies calling attention to the manner
in which the things that we eat are adulter-
ated, has caused the people to demand some
form of supervision.
The appointment Of food inspector, there
fore, becomes one of great Importance. Hav-
ing made two attemps at filling this office it
is to be hoped that the Board Of Health will
act with due deliberation this time and secure
a man who will not only stay in the office but
who is competent to do the work required Of
him. To be competent such man must have
a full knowledge of meats and to be more or
less acquainted with food products; he should
be able to judge meat on the hoof; tell whether
or not the animal is fit to be killed for food,
and should also be able to judge piece of
meat lying on the counter as to whether or
not it looks suspicious
The Board Of Aldermen should realize fully
the Importance of this department of the city
government and give it an appropriation ade-
quate for the work required. If it is neces-
sary to go out Of town for the right man we
believe the Board Of Health will receive the
sanction of the people to do so. Such posi-
ton as food inspector is not created merely
to give some local man job but is intended
to protect the people, 1t is recognized that
the health of the city must first be considered
before prosperity can be fully realized. There
fore, the Board of Health should have ade-
quate funds for carrying on its work, and
should have competent employees to do what
is required of them.
With the vacancy that now exists it is to
be hoped that the next food inspector will
be man who measures up to the position in
every sense of the word, even if it is neces-
sary to go out Of the city to find him, and
the aldermen called upon to appropriate more
money to secure and retain him.

POLITICS IN THE AIR

It used to be that political agitations were
confined to a few weeks in the fall imme-
diately preceding the election. With the pas
sage Of the new primary law, however, the
campaign has for the last two or three years
opened in August Now it seems that there
Is no let-up for the political agitation and we
find the party workers busy at all times,
planning for another election as soon as one
is over.
This is as 1t should be. Heretofore, the
matter of choosing public Offices was left al
most entirely in the hands of the political
boss, He was working the year around on
politics, and by the time the people became
aroused sufficiently to take an interest he had
everything fixed up to suit himself, and there
was little the people could do but ratify his
choice. But now the party workers them
selves are busy. The times have changed and
we find the people as well prepared when
election approaches as is the old time party
boss. The result is that the boss is being
eliminated
Along this line the action of the county
committee of the Progressive party, which
met in New Brunswick Saturday afternoon,
shows that that organization is one to be
reckoned with this fall Nothing is being left
undone to thoroughly prepare for the APP
preaching campaign and it is likely that
some surprises may be in store for those who
are inclined to belittle this new movement
In the selection of Fl. Raymond Groves for
county chairman the Progressives have an

that the Progressives will let their opponents

when the votes are counted.
