NOT SATISFIED.

Some people are mover satisfied.
Asbury Park has been agitating rail-
road improvements for many years. II
sven took the matter up with the
Public Utility Commission in it's effort
10 better conditions.
Now that the utility commission
has acted in Asbury Parks favor and
has decided that the twin resorts shall
have a new station together with the
abolition of all grade crossings, the
city commission of Asbury Park has
adopted a resolution opposing any
hating the grade crossings. Property
owners have protested and IL the
Public Utility Commission does not
nnpul its order regarding track eleva-
tion the city counsel Is instructed tc
appeal to the courts.
The claim Is that elevated tracks
will mar the city. But as track de-
preston is impossible owing to the
numerous lakes In that region 1t looks
rs II Asbury wanted the grade cross
ings to remain, or perhaps the city
doesn't know what 1t wants.
II the Public Utility Commission
cannot do business with Asbury Park
and we believe there is also a dis
agreement in Elizabeth over the
elimination of grade crossings there
let the board turn its attention K
Perth Amboy whose petition, we be
lieve, was sent to the utility board be
fore either of the two places mention
ed took action. Perth Amboy want
grade crossings eliminated and
wants a new union station on the sit
where the Lehigh Valley freight sta
tion and the Robbins lumber yar'
now stand. We are sure tho Cit
officials can get together with TN
utility commission on the II after with
out any difficulty.

FAKE LETTERS.

The EVENING NEWS feels hat 1t
has been imposed upon. Two letters
~recently published over the signature
sTaxpayer' and which were accepted
in good faith. names and addresses be-
ing signed to both. are now believed
20 be fakes. The addresses given, we
have learned, are empty lots. Only a
coward would adopt sue a method of
working off his spleen on the public.
we had supposed that when we in
sisted that names and addresses must
be signed to all communications In
tended for publication we were taking
reasonable precautions TO assure re-
liability; we had thought that some
confidence could be put in the general
public. 1t seems. however. that there
As no limit to the deception some peo-
pie will adopt.
The EVENING NEWS feels that 1t
Is a part of its duty to the people to
Furnish a means OF public expression.
Eor that reason II has welcomed COM
munications from its readers and has
gladly given space for the publication
of the letters which it has believed
were written in good faith. No doubt
this privilege has been abused by
some, but when possible the fake let
ters have been weeded out and pub
aication denied.
Public officials are the particular
object of attack by the fake letter
writers. These persons do not have
the moral courage to come out in the
open with what they have to say and
back up their opinion with their name;
ahey prefer to adopt the %cut-throal
method. attacking a man In the dark
without him knowing who 1t is that
priticizes him.
Reaiizing the injustice of this the
EVENING NEWS has insisted that

Play fair with you wife. When a

THE ~CoNINIUTER'S LOT.

The lot OF tho New York commuter
is hard these days. He now arises
early in tho morning and. after a
hasty breakfast. hastens to the rail
road yard on the outskirts of the
town and gets his engine ready. He
then fires HI locomotive on the run
to New York whereupon he starts for
his place of business only to ind that
the elevator men are on strike and he
must walk up hfty-seven. more or less,
flights OF stairs to his Office where he
begins to start his days work. In the
afternoon this routine is gone through
with all over again. BY the time he
reaches his home in tho evening he is
ready to seek the hay and sleep the
sleep Of the righteous-the end of a

want to virtually gag the public by

KILL THIS BILL.

BY amending the outrageous Pier
son election bill so as to seliminate
straight party voting by blindly
placing an "X" in u single circle at
tho top of a column the senate has
touched the sore spot in the measure,
but It has not removed the sore. The
party column still remaining. The
bill should be killed In the interest of
honest elections. No amount OF
amending-it has already been
amended nearly 100 timos-can re-
move the bad repute In which this
measure now finds itself.
The members of the assembly, in
which body the bill was passed with
only Assomblyman DeVoe of this
county voting against it. were deceived
as to tho true meaning of the bill at
tho outset and it's whole course has
been marked with deceptive and
underhanded tactics.
The only safe way is to kill the bill
The members of the assembly now
have an opportunity to redeem them
selves. Let their vote against the bill
this time be as nearly unanimous as
was their vote for the bill before.

A MEMoRIAL.

We can imagine nothing more
appropriate for Asbury Park than the
erection of a beautiful beach-front
hotel, thoroughly modern in every re-
Ispect, with an especially laid out
from the North Asbury rail-
road station through the Sunset lake
park, as a memorial for James A.
Bradley the founder of hat resort. In
fact, MI. Bradley Is the father of all
the New Jersey coast resorts. 1t was
his foresight and enterprise that made
that wonderful stretch OF sandy beach
the playground for America.
This is not a matter that interests
the people OF Asbury Park alone.
Thousands of men and women

mention the more distant parts of the
country. have known Asbury Park
from childhood and, visiting 1t year

ments, they have come to look upon

IThe children of today are following
their fathers and mothers to this
famous resort and so 1t will be for
generations to come-all having a
direct interest In Asbury Park and the
Jersey coast resorts generally.
Because OF this interest anything to
commemorate the great achievement
lof Founder Bradley must interest all
these thousands of people who are not
classed as actual residents OF the coast
resorts.
we note that the plan for the
memorial includes q statue of the
general Founder. To be really life

standing on q board walk, a tan
lcolored umbrella with a green lining

best by his thousands of friends.

offends u noses. and it's painful

With passenger trains again moving
at about normal attention is turned to
the freight congestion. 1t is highly
desirable hat materials be furnished
to the numerous industries and that
the finished product be aiken away.
Unless this is done shortly the stag
nation will become widespread and,
with the business situation critical
enough already. it would take only
something like this present tie-up to
bring on the crisis that has been avoid
ed thus far only by the most careful
handling II the situation. Prosperity
has been hanging as If by a thread.
TO paralyze railroad transportation is
to break the thread and no one will
dare predict what the result will be.
With the government ready with its
adjustment board possessing every
means for bringing about a satisfac-
tory settfemect the railroad men
should return to work and let the
government function as ii is supposed
to function-unless they do not be-
Ilieve in any government at all. and
we do not believe the mass of railroad
employees hold any such idea.
BY continuing the strike the men
have nothing to gain over what they
would get by returning to work and
letting the government adjust their
differences; the country has much to
Igain by being spared from a collapse
