THE ALBANY STREET BRIDGE

Yes the Albany street bridge in its present condition Is a public
nuisance and a disgrace. Justice Bergen is perfectly justified In his
criticism. But the Board of Freeholders is not to be judged harshly
in the matter. The board has been aware of the condition of the
structure for some time, but it has been trying to save the taxpayers
money. if possible, by compelling the Pennsylvania railroad, whleh
controls the Delaware & Raritan canal, to pay for the reconstruction
of the drawbridge, which is the portion of the bridge in question
that is causing all the trouble. The freeholders are to be commended
rather than censured for this attitude.
After the courts had decided that it was up to the county to
maintain the bridge the war was upon us and the government itself
blocked all efforts to issue bonds to do the necessary work. Besides,
TO 90 ahead at this time would be placing an extra burden on the tax
payers because of the greatly increased cost of everything.
Perhaps the mistake was made in the beginning by not proceed
ing with the work; having the bridge repaired and then fight 1t out
with the railroad company afterward. OF course, it was known that
tis involved long, tedious legal proceedings, but we doubt If they
would have been any longer drawn out than the present proceedings
are.
But the bridge today is dangerous and the freeholders are
charged with Keeping the highways of the county in a safe condition
The Albany street bridge is too important "a structure to permit get
ting into such a condition as it is. 1t is to be hoped that now that the
matter has been brought so forcibly to public attention definite ac-
ton will be taken even i. the taxpayers do have to pay. But here
again is brought out the great expense Middlesex is under in main
tanning bridges that are, in reality a part of the state highway system
and which should be supported by the state a S a whole.
incidentally, it might be remarked that because railroads have
been permitted to get control of valuable public franchises n men
encompass themselves with ambiguous laws so that through a well
trained and highly paid legal department the laws can be distorted 10
mean anything the corporation wants them to, is one of the man rea
sons why the railroads find themselves in such disrepute before the
public today. Strict government regulation so that the rights of the
people can be secured without court proceedings is the one big sofu-
ton, and the Albany street bridge is one of the many examples of the
need of such action.

Halifax Chronicle OF los years ago
today, December II, 1913, contained
a notice of the distribution OF prize
money realized from the sale of twen-
ty-five American ships and cargoes
among them the Chesapeake, which
had beer captured by the Shannon
after q remarkable battle q few
months before. Among the twenty
five vessels were several American
privateers, whose crews were made
prisoners.
The American prvateers were
much more numerous than those hy-
ing the English flag. There were
a. out 250 IN all, and of these 1874
sailed from the ports of Baltimore.
New York, Salem and Boston. The
Baltimore clippers" were the fastest
and most successful of the American
privateers. They were s%chooners
with raking masts, and usually carried
from six to ten guns, with a single
long gun, called Long Tom," mount
ed on a swivel in the center. The
average privateer crew was composed
of fifty men, besides the officers, and
they held commissions or letters-of-
marque authorizing them to burn,
sink M destroy the property of the
: enemy, either on the high seas or in
his ports" OF the prize money. one
half went to the government, n the
other half wis distributed among Of

number, captured about a third that

Newspaper Syndicate,)
This Is rather a threatening and I'M
certain day, according to astrology.
While Venus and Mars are adverse,
Mercury is in beneflc aspect.
There Is a sign that seems to indi-
cate disappointments for army officers,
owing to questions of rank or prece-
dence in public affairs.
Trouble connected with a canton
ment has been foretold. This may be
a fire or heavy loss through some cal
amity that destroys valuable property.
Venus foreshadows much entertain
ing and gaiety. Many distinguished
visitors, pageants and professions
presaged by the stars at the beginning
of 1918 will now focus public atten-
ton.
There is a majestic sign however,
that seems to indicate in certain cities
of the United States demonstrations
connected with strikes or difficulties
affecting large numbers OF persons.
All the predictions agree o N the be-
ginning of a brilliant period in Ameri-
can letters. Newspapers and maya
zines will benefit greatly and there
will be legislation favorable to them
the seers announce.
Although engineers and contractors
have the forecast of much activity in
the new year this Is not held as a
lucky day for making plans or signing
contracts.
This is not a lucky day for weddings
as 1t may lead to tragedies that are
due to accidents.
The death of more than one famou.
American woman is forecast. As If to
compensate for losses. there will be
new leaders recognized In the new
year.
Warnings. often repeated, against
extravaganza will be especially EN-.
phatic in the new year. The seers de-
clare that prosperity will be marked
in 1919 and 1920 and they urge prepa-
ration for the period beyond that.
Mexico will again come strongly in
to public attention within a short time
astrologers declare.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have
the augury of a successful year in
business affairs. Safeguard the healtl
of the family. Change that is favor
able is foretold. Girls will have offers
of marriage.
Children born on this day are likely
to be bright in mind. Industrious ant

FIGHT FAMINE

"Saye Food and Win the War; served its purpose.
A new food conservation slogan has come: Fight Famine!'
The war of the kitchen army has passed into its second phase.
It was a great thing to have saved enough wheat, fat and sugar
to feed the fighters. 1t will be a greater thing to save and distribute
enough food to save a starving world.
Fight Faminel The words conJure up a vision of the stalking
specters of hunger, want, and death that follow all great wars, claim
ing the most helpless and piiful victims in the world-children and
women.
Women and children have already paid a CHASTITY, a terrible price
of suffering and terror in the war. The world must not allow them to
raw with their lives for sins and stupidities not their own.
For a year, until the hands that carried guns can be restored to
plowhandIe and factory, until the devastated or neglected fields can
be restored to fruitfulness, until seedtime and harvest shall resume
their accustomed cycing-we must all Fight Famine, giving of our
abundance to feed humanity.

Famous Women

Louise BRAKEMAN vas considered
one of the greatest female geniuses of
the early nineteenth century. She was
born In Rochlitz, Germany, in 1878.
and became an intimate friend of
Schiller and Novalis, and was herself
a writer and poet of great ability. In
her case, as in so many others, genius
brought with 1t an unevenness of
temperament which at times bordered
on insanity. She was subject to long
and continued fits of melancholy. She
had been disappointed in two differ
ent love affairs, and, when, in 1922, an
other fond hope of hers had been
blasted, she committed suicide by
throwing herself into the river Saale.
Her most famous works are Poems"
Blossoms of Romance" and Errors
These works are still preserved.

EXPLOSION UP TO GRAND JURY

No fault can be found with the fair and impartial charge to the
grand jury by Justice Bergen regarding the explosion at the Gillespie
shell loading plant at Morgan. The matter is put squarely up to the
grand jury to make its own investigation and judge for itself as to the
responsibility. Realizing the extent of the investigation as conducted
by the Senate committee it is plain that if the grand jury goes into
the matter thoroughly it has no small task to perform. The divided
authority between the Gillespie concern and the government compli-
Gates matters greatly. 1t is so easy to shift the blame under such an
arrangement. 1t has been pretty well established, however, that there
was negligence somewhere and the people of this vicinity are the
victims. If the grand jury can solve the problem and see that justice
is done it will perform a great public service.
