Metuchen'S New Park

Metuehen is to be congratulated upon the acquisition of a beau
tiful park the dedication of which was one of the Fourth of July
features in that charming borough.
Incidentally, Metuchen had one of the greatest days in its history
on the Fourth. There was a big civic demonstration including a pa
rade and exercises with a flag raising. The new park was formally
opened and the people had an opportunity Of realizing the delights
Of this recreational and rest center.
Charles S. Edgar. who gave to Metuchen the new park, has left
a fitting memorial in the town where he was honored and respected
for so many years. Ii is a striking evidence Of his largehearted,
generous nature. 1t also speaks well for the community that it
shoald be deemed worthy of such a memorial.
Few places there are as small as Metuchen that can boast a
real park. 1t is something to be proud Of. It is an asset that will
grow as time passes. Always a charming place to live in, Metuehen,
through the benefactiOn of one of its most prominent citizens, be-
comes more charming than ever.
Altogether July 4, 1918 is date long TO be remembered by the
people of our delightful suburb. Perth Amboy rejoiees with
Netuchen upon this festive occasion.

We often wonder If future genera

that sat in Washington In 1917-1e18.
We donwer II history will tell pos
terity that men who sat in the Senate
and House in those trying days were
the tools of a band of lobbyists hired
by Prohibition fanatics to block war
preparations and delay American vic
tory. We wonder II the pitiful truth
of how Congress flibustered to give
the Kaiser his own sweet way, while II
spent month after month wrangling
owe how Congress was so un-Ameri-
can as to fight for the milk-white flag
of Prohibition while II did nothing to
protect the stars and stripes in Old
Glory. Anyway. we notice that the
battle over prohibition amendments to
the Emergency Appropriation Bill has
not ended. Indeed, II has only begun.
The Jones prohibition amendment to
the bill delayed the emergency war
appropriation for time, but now Sena-
tor Norris has substituted a prohibit
ton amendment to the bill that will
prohibit everything but wine. And
bleeding France calls for our aid.
And gallant italy wades in blood
awaiting our assistance. But we must
wrangie over the new prohibition
amendment for a month or so. Long

SAYsLEADERS CLAIM
 FALLS BEFORE FACTS
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Sept 22.-Represen- tative Scott Ferris, chairman of the democratic congressional committee in a statement tonight said the claim of republican leaders that the election of a republican congress in November is necessary to insure vigorous prosecu- ton of the war falls before the facts" The record, he said reveals that re- publicans in congress viewed as whole, have been obstructionists, and that the democrats have been the re- liance of the administration war measures"
 ''The federal reserve. farm loan. ag- ricultural extension. tariff commission and other laws enacted by democrats put the country on a stable basis before the war began. And democratic SUD- port of war measures have Vitalized the whole war program.
 Just as the federal reserve law, the tariff commission act and others were enacted over republican opposition, the shipping board bill, three war revenue measures and, indeed. the war resolu- tion itself. were put through over stub , born resistance by the minority. MT. Ferris declared that unity of action in Washington is as essential now ass unity of military command is in France and the democratic party will ask the return of. a democratic congress on its record in support of the president and the war.

ID ASK LOWERP PRICE
 F0R COTTON SEED

At the final conference Sunday night of the committee on the cotton seed price situation, representing the grow CTS, mill men and cattle producers, it was decided to recommend to the cot ton division of the Food Administration that the price to the growers for cot ton seed be made $66 on carload lots, and S63 on less than carload lots A resolution to this effect will be prepared by the comittee and submit ted to the Food Administration, and besides the growers, the cattlemen and mill men, other local interests and orr ganizations will be asked to back the committee in securing this action by the Food Administration.
 Ihs rr' is the same as the rate paid to California growers. and the further recommendation will be made by the committee that the price of meal to the cattlemen be set at s51. and the price of hulls at s1O. instead Of the prices as at present set of S53 and s2O.
 The oil mill men stated that in case the price of oil can be kept up to the figure that the government sets that they are willing to make further pay ment to the growers on a pro rate basis
 This action of the committee seems to have cleared up the situation and removed the causes of the deadlock and the opinion has been expressed that the mills probably would be buy Ing seed within a few days.

INCREASE IN FOOD
 COST 0VEREST|MATED
Republican A. p. Leased WIre1

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Increases in. the cost of food during the past year have been greatly over- estimated by laying too much emphasis on spe- cial cases, said an announcement to- night by the food administration, which gave comparative wholesale costs of various articles of food for different periods of 1917 and 1918.
 The actual wholesale cost of food stuffs per capita during the second quarter of 1918, April. May and June, was $25.59. the statement said. This was an increase of 3.5 per cent over the per capita cost during the same period the year before.
 The cost of rent, transportation, clothing and other items of living have advanced several times as much as 1.-the aggregate increase in cost of food Istuffs." the statement said.

 WASHINGTON, Sept 22.-Represen- tatives of short line railroads, relin- euished from federal control, in con. ference with railroad administration officials have agreed to most of the government proposals. for a contract under which. small roads might return to federal management without guar antees of fixed. earnings accorded other roads. but with the privilege of charg- ing higher rates and with fair di- vision of joint rates. [" The contract proposed by the rall- road administration. provides that short line operate under its own offic- CTS. keep it's receipts and be respon- sible for all it's obligations. Rates might be raised to the new nation vice level without application to the Interstate Commerce Commission or state com missions. and joint rates would be 'dl- vided fairly without reduction of the proportion received under private man agement.

0NE MILLION AND THREE QUARTERS
 .0F MEN EMBARKED
(By The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Striking proof that the German power is fast crumbling came today in the an- nouncement by General March, chief of staff, that the news from all bat tie. fronts was continuously good" and that 1,750,00 American troops now have been embarked for overseas serv- ice.
 Just six months ago today the enemy flung his full military power against the British lines in Picardy in the great drive that was to end the war in smashing victory. Today he was fighting desperately to hold the tot tering Hindenburg line, the defensive system from which he struck that blow and back into which he has been hurled. Side by side, British, French and American armies have broken def initely the German offensive power in official opinion here. Already the American forces in France are more than half as strong as the whole Ger man army and the tide of American fighting men toward France is con- tinuing at an even pace. The situation on the various battle fronts was terse- ly summarized by General March to- day as follows:
 News of Week Favorable.
 News during the week has been from all fronts continuously and con- Itinually good. On the western front our new line in Lorraine was quickly stabilized. The enemy has been hur- | riedly strengthening his line of de- fense, the so-called Kriemhild line which lies only a mile or two in front of our new line on front of about 20 miles from near Maizeray to the Moselle river at Vandires. We are now 10 miles away from Conflans and F miles away from Metz.
 Tn Picardy the British and French renewed their advance in the cambrai St. Quentin fret toward the old Hin denburg line. In spite of the concen- tration of the enemy forces defending this sector, they have made steady progress and the enemy is reported tC have lost very heavily. It is now off cially confirmed that 10000 prisoners have been captured.
 French Continue Gains.
 'On the plateau northeast of Sois sons the French have continued tt force back the enemy's best troops un. til they are now within half a mil, from the junction of the Mauberg, road and the Chemin des Danes, anC within 10 miles of Laon, which is be ing shelled.
 'The reports in the press about tn, successful operations of the Serbian army on the Balkan front are correct The Serbian army attacked the Bul garians on a front of 25 miles an, drove them back about 20 miles. Ac cording to official reports British hay reopened activities in Palestine"

both producers and consumers should unlte m vigorous support of the prompt enactment of appropriate legislation to carry into effect constructive noIicies and remedies of the character recorn- mended by the Commission.
 The misrepresentation of the recom mendations. which has been given widespread publicity must not be permitted to mislead either congress or the people. The Commission did not recommend that the packing plants of the five large packers should be taken over by the government It did re- commend that these packers should be deprlved of the means by which they have acquired and maintained their monopolistic control of the live stock markets and of meats and a constantly increasing list of other food products. 1 It did recommend that the transporta- ton, terminal and distribution facili- ties of the country should be taken out of the hands of the monopolists and be made available on equal terms to open competition.
 Should Regulate All
 We have also carefully considered the report of the Committee of Five and thoroughly endorse the idea of a positive national live stock policy. It must be borne in mind however. that the report of the Committee of Five is essentially a war measure while the report of the Federal Trade Commits sion relates more especially to the per manent conditions that should prevail after the close of hostilities. While we deeply regret that the report of the Committee of Five did not touch on the great question of production, we hot which dealt with the necessity for a uniform system of accounting in the packers industry, the regulation of stockyards and commission men by the Department of Agriculture, the advis- ability of greater publicity regarding wholesale prices of meats. and the need of. an investigation into the conditions of the retail trade: and we strongly urge the early appointment of a com mission clothed with ample power to investigate thoroughly this situation , and present a definite plan for a sim plification of retail distribution which will assure the consumer a wholesome meat supply under a system free from waste and needless expense; and, most
 important of all, we endorse the need of revision of the packers license, being thoroughly convinced that the welfare of the live stock industry and the consuming public demands effec- tive regulation of the packers entire business instead of only a portion We therefore respectfully, but earn estly urge the prompt and favorable |. consideration by congress of the reme- dies recommended by the Federal Trade Confusion.
