alright old boy, go to it, you have
my permission without license"
But Mac had not told him who
the lecturer was and he didn't want
to stand chances, so he insisted on a
license and was referred to the city
clerk, aH old school chum.
Walter" said Mac to the clerk,

at the fair grounds Sunday Sept.
10th. | have the mayors pernis-
sion"
Walter got out the blank, made
it out in due form and then asked:
whats the lecturers name?"
| Carrie Nation answered Mac
without smile.
The pen dropped ont of the clerks
hand and ne grabbed his desk for
support. What he gasped, Car
RE Nation!'
Yes, but keep it quiet til she's
advertised, please" And Walter
promised
With the license papers-which
cost him one dollar safely tucked
away in his pocket, Mac felt secure,
and straightway hustled to the
printers where he ordered posters
and dodgers sufficient TO cover the
country for miles around, then he
completed arrangements for the fair
grounds which he already had
optioned.
| The nexi mornings papers fam
ed the information that Carrie
Nation was coming, and the news
created a wild sensation. The tenn
!, perance element was delighted, but
the saloonists and their following
shook their heads, then stormed-
they wanted the city officials to stop
her from coming--to prevent the
lecture, but too late, the license
had been granted and come she
must. Then they discovered 1t was
Macs doings, and they felt consid-
, erably relieved for they had con-
t fidence in the boys ability to keep
! a tight rein on the lady terror
while she was in town. and then
every body started to boost.

nature appears at her very best.
Mac was up bright and early and
just as he was leaving his home a
messenger handed him a telegram
which he tore open hurriedly and
read:
Missed my train. On the next
sure. Arrive 3 p. m.
Carrie Nation"
Darn the luck!'-cried Bob, of
course things have to begin break
ing bad right on the jump. What
the devil will | do now, the lect-
ure's billed for 2:3O?' Then he
stopped a moment to think just a
moment, and dis face lit up with a
smile. Great!' he shouted, best
thing that could have happened.
She'll not have a chance now to go
cavorting around making a show of
herself before the lecture. Now
they must pay the price if they
want 10 see her." and off he started
up town with a merry smile.
His first stop was at the hotel-a
dry" hotel run without bar. He
explained matters to the clerk who
he knew very we'll, registered Mrs.
Carrie Nation" engaged the best
room in the house, and left orders
that any ybody inquiring to see the
lady should be informed that she
was resting and could not be dis
turbed.
Then he telephoned the preacher
he had arranged with to introduce
her, that the lecture would not De-
gin until 3 o'clock, not mentioning,
however, that Mrs. Nation would
not arrive until that time. He
wanted no crowd at the station.
He engaged a closed carriage and
instructed the driver to use all pos
sible speed between the depot and
fair grounds the moment Mrs
Nation arrived. Immediately after
dinner the crowds began swarm.
to the grounds, ears were packed
and the sidewalks lined. 1t re-
sembled fair or circus day ano
the ticket sellers had all they could
do to take care of the rush.
Twenty five cents general admis
mion and fifty cents for the grand
stand, and by two o'clock that i'm.
mense structure was crowded. An
announcer with a megaphone In
formed the people that the lecture
would not begin until three o'clock
but the band kept them entertained
with some good music and they die

STATE UPKEEP OF ROADS.

With the rapid approach Of spring our minds are
once more directed to the condition of the roads
and the heavy traffic that they will be forced to
withstand during the coming season. Already the
counties are overburdened with the expense of
keeping the roads in repair, not to mention building
new ones For this reason the agitation to have
the state take the control of the roads meets
with favor The roads are no longer local affairs,
but are state highways, accommodating thousands
of residents Of other states who tour New Jersey
during the summer
Not only should the roads be taken care of by
the state, but all bridges over certain size should
also come under state jurisdiction. With the state
providing for this and the respective townships TAX
ing of their districts, there would be a
great reduction in the county budget and the
money that now goes into the county treasury could
be spent for local improvements.
Here in Perth Amboy thousands of dollars are
sent to the county treasury with comparatively lit
tie return. If the state took of the roads and
bridges and each township took of its own
local affairs, Perth Amboy could great deal cf
CHe money now SeHC 10 CH6 county treasury IOr
within her own limits.
There is, however, great stumbling block in
this program. We refer to the possibility of
state tax. If we are to increase the burdens of the
state to such an extent as to care for all the mali
'oads and large bridges and at the time enact

that have paid such enormour,Gees into the state
treasury, a situation that some believe will result
from the corporation law recently enacted, there 8
no doubt that state tax will have to be impos ID.
In that ease there would be little difference whether
we paid the money into the county treasury, to he
spent in the county, gave it to the state to he
distributed among all the counties. It is evident
that the money to carry improvements must
come from somewhere and as all government rests
with the people, they the basis of supply
whether they are taxed directly pay it in way
that does not appear on the surface.

LEGISLATIVE MANUAL.

Once more that annual publication, the
Legislative Manual, by Thomas F. Fitzgerald,
has made its appearance. This book, as far
as giving the statistics Of New Jersey and all
facts concerning state government is concern
ed, is Indispensable.
Mr.. Fitzgerald has had much experience at
the state capital and is a recognized authority
on all matters pertaining to state govern
ment. His volume is a valuable addition to
every library in the state, particularly the
library of the professional man. Anyone can

congress would agree. 1t is significant thai

congress would agree 1t is significant that
the amendment was not voted down, but was
dropped from the appropriation bill on a
point of order raised by Senator Hoke Smith,
of Georgia, who contended it was general
legislation. Thus the senators were not put
on record as to whether or not they favored
the general proposition of pensions.
The attempt to amend the bill has forced
the subject into the limelight and thereby
has served it's purpose The Hamill BILL now
pending in the House, provided for direct
pension for government employees in the right
manner. Whether it passes or not at this
session is a question, but it shows that congress
is at work on the subject and with the proper
agitation, the old employees are bound to get
justice.

pENROSE AMENDMENT LOST

The defeat of Senator Penrose's amendment
to the post office appropriation bill is not
surprising Mr. Penrose proposed that all
government employees who had served for
twenty-five years or more be given indefinite
leave of absence with pay. This was an at
tempt to get the matter of civil service pen
sions before congress. 1t was very crude in
it's shape, however, and it is not supposed
that congress would act favorably on it.
According to the amendment these men
would be retired on the same pay that they
were receiving while in active duty. This is
something that the employees themselves do
not expect, and it was hardly likely that

THE PATTERSON STRIKE.

Patersn is once more undergoing labor
disturbance. Regardless of the merits Of the
case the newspapers Of the city protest
ing against the presence of outside agitators.
It is recognized that if the employees of the
mills of Paterson are dissatisfied they have
right to stop work. The objection is made,
however, to outsiders, who have absolutely
nothing at stake as far as Paterson is con-
cerned, and who will depart to other cities
when the trouble is over coming in and breed
ing a spirit of discomfort. When they are gone
the local people suffer, business has been in
W. inEsq l and the city will be long time rseove
ering. All this has no no effect on the otslue
agitator.
The people who must always live in the
city, who have their money invested In the
city, and whose home is made there should
bear in mind that the welfare Of that COM
munity means something to them, whereas the
professional disturber cares nothing for Pat
erson as city. These men travel about the
country stirring up dissatisfaction wherever
they can, making their living on this sort OF
thing. If they could not stir up trouble IN
the various localities they visit they would
soon be out of a job. 1t would be well for
laborers who have plenty of work and who
are earning decent living, enjoying com
Portable home life to consider these things
before they listen to the harangue of such
men. If there is to be disagreement between
employer and employe, let it be handled by
local men who have some regard for the city
and its thousands Of homes who are willing
TO consider the business man and the innocent
public-men who will continue to live In the
city after the strike is over and share what
dscomforts it may bring about.
In discussing the situation in Paterson, the
Guardian, Of that city, says:
The best way prevent trouble is to use the civic
power to control those actively engaged In eHort 10
start trouble this particular instance the largest
who have come this city to start general strike,
and instant recognition of this fact by the city auhor-
ties is be commended.
These outside agtators must be prepared TO bear
full responsibility, for they have assumed leadership;
the executive committee of their organization has wide
y advertised the fact that they intended to bring to
Paterson who advised direct action ana
preciptated disturbance In connection WIN
the strikes under the auspices OF this organiza
tion in Lawrence, Little Falls and New York City.
Paterson will not permit anything OF that KIND ana
the action taken by the police today will help to I'M
press that upon the outsiders who have publicly
proclaimed their leadership and assumed the right TO
start trouble among the silk workers of Paterson

ST. LOUIS, June 3-George B.
Whitfield Of the Cardinals will bear
watching. He is a substitute infelder
who did so we'll at third that he was
shifted over to short, where he again
made good. He is regarded as the
fastest runner on the team, though
he can't get down to first as quick
as some others, because he has not
yet learned the knack of a quick
start. AS a batter Whitfield shines,
because he is better in a pinch than
at any other time. Having control of
his nerves, he performs better when
more depends on his performance. He
swings hard. and when he hits the
ball IL makes a hurried trip away
from the home plate. Whitfield comes
from Durham. n. c. Last summer
he played with the champion Jack
sonville team Of the South Atlantic
league.
