REoPENING THE BRIDGE

Let us hope that officials Of the
State Highway Commission are not
INDUCING in moonbeam chasing
when they announce that the state
highway bridge across the Rsritan
river at this point will be open for
trafic within a week.
we cannot see any sense in trying
to fool the public in q matter Of this
kind. Everybody knows that the
bridge is in a d%eplorable condition.
The wonder is that 1t has held out
as long as 1t has. Under the cir
cumstances. therefore. now that the
bridge is closed, there would be no
surprise If it remained out Of COM
mission for some time.
OF course, everyone is anxious 20
see It working again, especially the
people of this vicinity. and It is
most gratifying to receive word
from the state authorities that the
repairs will be completed so soon.
The disappointment is all the keen
err, however. when announcements
Of a speedy opening are made only
to find that the bridge is not opened
when the oficials say 1t will be and
when there is eason to believe they
knew all the time that 1t could not
be finished by the time stated.
The bridge has now been closed
much longer than was at first pre-
II the state authorities are
right this time in their date for the
-~eopening of the structure there
will be great rejoicing hereabouts
Is well as among motorists gener-
ally.

SELLING wH1SKEY

AS an interesting sidelight on the
Roessler & Hasslacher Chemical
Company robbery trial now going on
In New Brunswick some important
information is being obtained as to
the illegal sale of whiskey in this
city. In view of the fact that the
prosecutor is charged with the re-
sponsibility Of enforcing the law as
he finds it, it will be strange If he
does not have the men now before
him held after the present trial is
over and ascertain from them more
of the facts regarding liquor selling
in Perth Amboy.
That there are open violations
here is pretty certain in the minds
Of nearly everybody. Reports are
most persistent that saloons are be-
ing run wide open and that even
some of those that had closed when
the prohibition law went into effect
are reopening. This state of affairs,
If true, is worse than under the old
license system for then there was
some sort of supervision. At pres
emit whatever business is being done
by saloons is in defiance of all
authority.
That conditions here are ripe for
a cleanup is apparent and the evil
dence produced at the Roessler &
Hasslacher robbery trial furnishes Il
good foundation for a start. 1t
would be a severe reflection on the
local authorities to have federal
agents come IN over their heads and
show them up as most negligent in
the performance of their duty.

Ripping Rhymes
BY Walt Mason.
TACKS.

A man must work like blazes to
earn his gas and oil; no stock of
fancy phrases will take the place of
toll; the worker is the winner who
has an ample dinner; the dreamer
is the sinner who has no hen to boil.
Our sacred rights are precious, and
should not be a wreck, and g%rievous
wrongs enmesh us, and soak us in
the neck; but If we quit our hewing,
to stand around rag-chewing, there
will be nothing doing when payday
is on deck. We cannot squelch the
tyrant by quitting work to spiel; or
trim the CHASTITY high rent bu putting
up a squeal: it's best to cut out
jawing, and do u daily saving,
the humble stipend drawing, however
sore we feel. For no amount OF
ranting will ge the boons we need.
or windsmiths, hot and painting, with
whiskers gone to seed, would long
ago have gotten relief from evils
rotten, and they would all be trottin'

and let the others with fiery zeal
attack the incubus that smothers
your soul and breaks your back; cut
out the long vacation, for work is the
salvation of this hornswoggled
nation that whoops around the track.

WISE ACTION

The action of the Board of Alder
men in deciding not to build the
new city stables, municipal garage
and comfort station at this time is
wise. To- spend the taxpayers
money in this way when the cost Of
everything is so high would be a
deliberate defiance of the wish of
the people who are already over-
burdened with taxes.
The only way to reduce the taxes
of the city is to curtail in every way
possible. This means that at least
no new work should be done unless
it is absolutely essential. 1t can
hardly be said that the three pro-
jeets that have been mentioned can
be considered essential. although It
must be admitted that all three
things are desirable and. under

When the legislature meets again
in September and the name of
George L. Burton, Of Middlesex
county. Is resubmitted to the senate
for confirmation as state highway
commissioner it will be necessary
for those who objected to his APP
pointment on the grounds that he
had been counsel for the patent
pavement interests. to prove their
statement or find some other reason
for refusing to act favorably on his
name. Mr.. Burton has denied in
the most positive terms that he has
ever had anything to do with the
patent pavement people and he de-
nes anyone to produce IN evidence
whatsoever that would show that
he has ever been so connected. In
the face Of this statement the only
thing left for the opponents of Mr..
Burton to do is to prove their con-
tention or else withdraw their OBJ
lection and permit his confirmation
to take place.
Mr.. Burton has had an honorable
public career and he is fully justified
in resenting any false impression
being spread throughout the state
as to his position in this paving
matter. That he is held in high
esteem by the other men appointed
to the highway commission and
whose appointments have been o n
tirmed, is evident from the fact that
Mr.. Burton was chosen chairman of
the de facto board and that even
now the commission is only tenn
porarily organized in the expectation
that Mr.. Burton will yet become a
member when he will be continued
at the head OF the body.
1t is apparent that if the charge
that the Middlesex man has been
with the patent pavement
interests charge which he so
emphatically denies-cannot be
substantiated his confirmation by
the senate ought to follow as a
Of course and as an act OF
toward one who has been
unfairly accused.

A Canadian reader wants to know
how it comes that a liberty-lovingi
broad minded people like the Ameri-
cans ever voted for the oppression
of prohibition. Well, Wen tell you
In the first place there was a war
waged against the GROCERY, and a
lot of people favored the effort of the
Anti Saloon League to close the
saloon.
Public opinion favoring the closing
of the saloon, the Anti-Saloon
League took another step and de-
manded that the manufacture OF
whiskey be prohibited.
Finding that it had enough legis-
lative votes to close the saloon and
to kill whiskey, the league grew
holder and demanded prohibition OF
the manufacture of everything ex-
cept beer and light wines.
Two years of Wartime Prohibi-
ton enabled the league to go ever
further and demand complete and
absolute prohibition that cut every
thing down to one half of one pei
cent.
Cringing legislators and a coward
ly Congress were bullied and black
mailed into doing the bidding of the
league. Seventy per cen of the peo-
Pile are against absolute prohibition,
but they are law-abiding and are
marking time.

WASHINGTON. May 7.-Assistant
Secretary Of Labor Post tcstifying to-
day before the house rules committee,
declared that only forty of the hun
drcds Of foreigners rounded up in raids
by the department Of justice in the
last six months, admitted that they
favored overthrow of the government
by violence.
Mr. Post appeared in his own behalf
in connection with charges ms TO whole
sale cancellation of warrants for the
deportation Of aliens. While he did not
give the number of cr-ninations. he
said that in making 5.D"L arrests, de-
partmcnt of justice agents found only
three rcvolvcrs.
Besides declaring that he sought 10
follow the spirit of the law Mr.. Post
said that he had not violated the letter
of the law. that his every decision was
made on evidence and that legally only
Secretary Wilson or himself was auth
oriZcd to issue deportation warrants.
Recommendations of Anthony Camin-
ETH Commissioner General of immigra-
ton favoring deportation were unauth-
urizcd and unlawful. Mr.. Post declared
adding they were often at variance with
the evidence. The house Immigration
committee, he continued, accepted Mr..
Caminetti's decisions and thereby show
cd gross ignorance of the law. He also
declared that OF the mass of evidence
presented ut the investigation by the
immigration committee that in only
two cases was the complete record hled.
Mr., Post said that 263 deportationS
had been made among the 762 ordered
during the last six months and that
lack Of transportation to Russia was
mainly responsible for the delay.
