HIGH CLASS MEN.

As an indication OF the high
opinion IN which the head Of the
commission government movement
in Perth Amboy is held outside this
city we quote the following from
the Newark Sunday Call:
adrian Lyon, who is heading the
movemen for commission govern
ment in Perth Amboy, Is well
known throughout Middlesex county
and Is highly esteemed in his home
the Perth Amboy Commission Gov
eminent League will give the move
ment strength.
Lyon would make an admirable
mayor. He has had legislative ex-
perience, served as county prose-
cutor and then county judge, and Is
identified with several OF the bank
ing institutions of the city. His ex-
! p~erIence as a lawyer has been
! varied. from court practice to work
as bankruptcy referee. aside from
his term as county Judge. When
/ Perth Amboy undertook to raise
funds to build a new Young Mems
| Christian Association Lyon, who
has been one of the prominen. fig
| ures in the State organization, aid
I ed the local members and the cam
J poigr was a success.
"The Commission Government
League has some prominent Demo-
Gratis identified with it, and the
movement is non-partisan. Il is
believed by the promoters hat they
- rE~AA -r.Gl& s.-A -vAk.-. a. .@11--
TO their support to take the city cut
OF the hands Of the politicians"
Associated with Adrian Lyon In
this campaign are some Of the most
prominent men in the community.
They are interested in the welfare
OF Perth Amboy. These men have
been among the leaders in every
movement that has been started
here for the advancement of the
city. 1t is because they believe that
commission government will be a
decided benefit to the city that they
ere devoting their time to further
ing the cause.
While these men may not always
be right in their contentious and
while it is true that there are some
men equally concerned in the city's
welfare who oppose the commission
form of government, the fact that
such a representative body Of citi-
gems as are to be found on the ex-
ecutive committee of the Commits
sion Government Association are 30
strongly OF one mind in regard TO
this matter as to combine their
efforts to have commission govern
ment adopted here ought to Con-
vince any doubling one that the
proposed change is a good think. 1t
Is very evident that these men who
have no political ambitions of their
own. but whose sole desire is TO
boost Perth Amboy. would not favor
anything that they thought would
be detrimental TO the taxpayers.

THE BRIDGE

Reports regarding the opening of
the state highway bridge across the
Raritan river here are not very en-
couraging. First it was going to
take only a day or two. Then 1t was
announced that about a week would
be required. When the week ex-
pired It was said about ten day.
more would see he Job finished. The
ten days were up yesterday and now
we are told the bridge will be open
in a week. The EVENING NEWS
has predicted that the bridge will
not be open for trafhc until after
Labor Day. We are still of that
opinion.
1t seems a pity, however, that the
most heavily travelled highway IN
the state at this season OF the year
should be closed in this manner.
Admitting that it is difficult to Sc
cure material and that labor is
scarce. there seems to be no ex-
cuse for the long delay here. Rest
assured that if the railroad bridge
had broken down so that traffic
across it was impossible. the rail-
road company would have had it IN
operation with trains running
across it long before this.
If a private corporation can do it,
why cannot a state board do 1t, too?
1t is just because a private cor
poration is more efficient in such
matters that the majority of the peo-
pie are opposed to government
ownership. 1t is very likely that If
the government owned the rail-
roads and the railroad bridge broke
down Just rs the highway bridge
has done, trains would be stopped
and traffic would be tied up just as
long as the vehicular traffic is now.
The State Highway Commission
has been in control of this bridge
since last fall. The engineers knew
that the bridge was weakening all
the time yet not a step was taken
to make necessary repairs. or TO
even get the parts that were known
to be wearing out so as to have
them on hand ready to be installed
as soon as the bridge was closed.
Suppose a railroad saw one of its
important bridges on it's main line
beginning to wear out, does anyone
think that it would be neglected un-
til It became useless? Not for an
instant. Track walkers and
gineers are constantly going over
the road bed and bridges for the
sole purpose Of detecting the first
sign of weakness or wear and the
remedy is applied forthwith.
This Is the difference between pri-
vate ownership and government
ownership.
OF course. the highway bridge
here will be opened some time, but
what then ? We all know that the
entire structure is weakening. 1t
cannot last very much longer. What
is being done to rush the work on
the new bridge? A few soundings
are being made, but little else. Isn't
the present condition OF the bridge
now spanning the river warning
enough to make all possible haste
toward the completion Of the new
bridge? There is a grave question
whether the present bridge can even
Withstand anothr winter. But at
the present rate. it will have to
stand several winters more If this
highway is to be kept open until
the new bridge is completed.
Once more it is a case of the
public business being nobody's bust
ness. Commissioners in charge of
the highway system. seeing the way
the last highway commission was
treated. are not inclined to bother
themselves unduIy. Their main OBJ
ject hereafter win be to hold their

CURIOSITY OF FINNY TRIBE
Lung Fish One Of the Most Remark
able Specimens Known to the
Scientific World.

A fish that growls and meows like
cat Is found in certain parts of
South America. Africa and Australia,
and this Is considered by scientists
to be in many respects the most won
derful fish In the world. 1t looks much
more like snake than a fish. It has
lungs and is obliged to put its head
out Of water frequently to breathe.
Lung fish, as these creatures are
called, are link between reptiles
and fishes-the nearer kin to the orig
inal stock from which snakes and
fishes both sprang, and in the fossil
period these ancestors Of theirs were
scattered over the entire world. One
reason these strange fish have been
preserved thousands and thousands Of
years after their prehistoric ancestors
were extinct is because they can live
easily through long droughts. Alliga-
tors and their African cousins, the
crocodlles. are almost tho only ene-
mics they have to fear except man.
Their rich salmon flesh Is highly
priced by the Indians. who go after
them with spears.
In natural state, the African. lung
fish Is about eighteen inches long, but
when kept In aquariums and fed the
year round. instead of lying dormant
for lack of water, they grow to be two
feet and half long aud weigh six
pounds or more.
