If | may be allowed a little space
in your paper, l would like to an
swer the article published last week
in your paper headed Paving not
halted by remonstrances of Owners.
1t was evident that the council did
not take the remonstrances serious
ly, for example, Mrs. Cornelia Hill,
Mrs. Elizabeth Warner, NJ. ID. Henry
and Mrs. G. H. Kerns were omitted
in the list of those signing the re-
monstrance, while the names of Mel
vim Clark, c. A. Scelos, Inez A. Ans
tell, Mrs. Cornelia Hill and Mrs. f.
E. Parrish should nave been deduct
ed from the list signing for the i'm
provement, as they later reconsid-
cred and signed thp remcnst rance
Ralph Prater signed for the improves
ment after he had sold his lot ant
over 400 feet of frontage owned oy
c. d. Slow was ignored. Consequent
ly barely 20 per cent actually signed
for the improvement
1t seems to a great many people
on Methodist hill that it is not good

prices are at the apex, and property
values in thai district do not justify
improving at present prices, and To
improve this year will mean tnot
many people will lose their ~ mes

ing companies can have their prop.

the Improvement. Consid arable
criticism has also zeen made on the
pI opposed plan of improving Dexter
street, JUS at the rear of a $4,000
school building which it is said may

the present congestion of the schoo,

the improvement must be made at
this time, would it not be better to
! pave Water street in front of the
school building, instead of Dexter
street? Furthermore, we wonder
why an alley, only little removed

/ by the public, should be paved We
think it would be well for some of

/ hill to practice toward their sisters
some of the good principles long ago
| advanced by Lincoln in his second
inaugural address, with malice to-
ward none and charity for ALL" and
to achieve the desire to bear some
what in mind the good old adage,
ITO care in a small degree for the
rights of the weak THAT the
brotherhood of man may really, some
day, prevail in our land"
This is not a personal matter with
me, as l am financially able to pay
for my share of the improvement,
but I am speaking mainly for the
large number of poor people on this
hill for whom such improvement
would be burden at any time and
doubly so under present prices and
! hope that the contemplated plan
can be delayed at least another year
and until conditions are more normal
and certain.

THE SENSIBLE WAY

When neighbors disagree, the sem
sible thing for them to do is to get
together, talk over their differences
in friendly way, try to grasp each
others viewpoint and then, if they
can not reach an amicable under
standing, submit the matters in
volyed to arbitration and accept the
findings of the arbitrators as final
This is a much wiser course to pur-
sue than for the disputants to make
public their real or fancied griev-
ances and to engage in mutual accu-
sations and recriminations.
A serious disagreement has devel-
oped in Pullman between some mem
bers of the faculty of the State Col
leGe and the merchants. A commit
tee representing the Association of
Teachers of the State College of
Washington has published assertions
that the cost Of living here is unrea-
sonably high as compared with the
cost in other cities and towns of the
state and in substantiation of the as
sertions has quoted comparative lists
OF prices secured by them.
the merchants have challenged
the fairness and accuracy of these
prices, and have prepared a COM
parative table, showing the cost OF a
large number of food items in Sc
attic, Spokane, Moscow, Idaho, and
Pullman. This table shows that the
price of the items cited is consider
ably less in Pullman than in Seattle
and practically the same as in Spo-
kane and Moscow
In fairness to ali concerned, both
sets Of figures are printed on an
other page of this issue. While there
appears to be a wide margin of vari-
ance between the two lists, both may
easily be correct, the discrepancy be-
ing explained by the different meth
DDS used in securing them. Even in
small towns, where there are but d
few stores, prices on the same articles
vary from day to day IN the s1fierent
establishments and, in the Large
cities, where there are hundreds OF
stores, the variation is much greater
For this reason, it is no easy matter
to make fair and accurate com
parison of the cost of living in diff
ferent communities.
This controversy is extremely un
fortunate because it will injure botl
the city and the State College. TIL,
report that the cost of living is un
reasonably high in Pullman will hav,
tendency to deter parents from
sending their children to the college
result which will be detrimental a
"A well to the interests of the faeult,
OF that institution as to the mer
chants and property owners of tn
city.
The committees representing tn
faculty and the merchants shoul
get together and try to work out
fair and uniform basis of compart
son between prices in Pullman an
other towns and cities If they car
not harmonic the discrepancies be
tween their figures they should sui
NIT the matter to board of arbitrs
tion composed OF competent and uu
biased experts.

That the manufacturers have their
troubles as we'll as the retailers and
consumers is indicated by the
statement of a representative OF
Munsing underwear who was in Pull
man this week. He said that before
the war the firm was turning out H.
100000 garments year. Since the
war, with twice as many operatives
receiving from 90 to 10 per cent
higher wages, the output is falling
off. The price of the cotton yarn
used in the underwear has increased
SIC per cent, of wooden yarns 367
mings 270 per cent.

DISORDER
REPORTED HERE
Police Are Detailed to Railroad
Points on News That Clash
Was in Progress.

Patrolmen Peterson and Lybeck
were detailed to Hall avenue and
State street last night by Sergeant
Morris to quell reported disturbances.
When the patrolmen arrived on the
scene they were told that there was
clash at that point but that the
disturbers had disappeared. The
policemen then went to the main
office of the Lehigh Valley railroad.
and two college students working on
the railroad stated that they were
stopped at the corner of Hall avenue
and State street by three men who
stated that the college students were
taking their jobs, and that several
blows had been exchanged.
There were several other clashes
between former railroad ~men and
present workers throughout the city
last night, it was reported.
The strike conditions throughout
this section remain the same today
as they have for the past week or
more, none of the old men are re-
turning TO work, and although the
yards and docks are running almost
to capacity the work is being done py
men brought here from other dlEl-
sions and by college students. SIX
cars of merchandise freight were re-
ceived at the Central station here
yesterday, but today only TWO cars
have been received.

Yesterday the ladies conducting the
campaign to raise funds for the main

collected being s91.55, while those
canvassing Market street took second
place with $3.50
Not all the solicitors reported at the
High School yesterday where leturns
are made daily from p. IN. TO II. m.

will greatly exceed those OF yester-
day.

there are some witch have no. YET
been heard from. 1t Is probaoie they
will respond to this worthy cause be-
fore the close of the campaign.
The great work the Day Nursery
accomplishes is we'll known to all. 1t
makes 1t possible for women whose
husbands are either dead or physi-
cally unable to work to be selc-sup-
porting. for they can leave their chill
dren at the nursery, while they go
to their various places of employ
ment.
The ladies in charge of this cam
paign have set out to secure $4,000.
If each resident of the city does his
share. this goal will be easily attain
ed. Let every one contribute as
generously as his means will permit,
and thus show that the necessity of
the day nursery to the community is
realized by all.
The results Of yesterday are as fol-
ows:
High street. s9155; Market street,
$3.50; State street. $3.50: Smith
street, $40; Maple street. $S.25; JEFF

1t has been reported that a woman
wearing q button with the words Day
Nursery inscribed on same is collect
ing funds for the campaign being
conducted by the Perth Amboy Day
Nursery. Those in charge of the
campaign claim this woman to be a
fakir, and that the real campaigners
are wearing red badges with the
words Perth Amboy Day Nursery in
scribed in black on same.
This practice is working hardship
on the persons who are endeavoring
to make this campaign a success, and
people throughout the city are warm
ed to watch out for the falzir looking
for contributions.

CONGRESS RACE
HOLDS INTEREST
Herbert and AppIeby Tilt for
Nomination Said to Develop
Into Hot Fight in Sd District

Now that the presidential prima-
ries are over attention of the politi-
clans In the third congressional dis
trict naturally turns to the contest
now under way in the district by
those anxious to become the party
standard bearers for congressman in
the September primaries. As no one
in the Democratic party has as yet
come out for the Office the interest
centers in the Republican camp,
where four candidates for the nomi-
nation on the Republican ticket are
in the campaign.
Among all those in the race on the
Republican side at the present time
the two men who are most in the
spot light are 7. Frank Applely, for
mer mayor of Asbury Park, and John
w. Herbert, of Helmetta. At a meet
ing held recently in Metuchen John
Pfeiffer, chairman of the Middlescx
County Republican committee, came
out for Mr.. Appleby, but there are
undercurrent reports and rumors to
the effect of organization itself will
support Mr.. Herbert for the nomina-
tion.
One reason for this is said to be
the fact that Herbert Is in a position
to contribute freely to the Republican
dough bag, and as considerable money
will be spent in this state during the
prove a great aid to Herbert in getting
the organization behind him to fur
their his nomination for congress-
man.
Even in view of this fact. however,
Appleby seems to be the popular can
didate and although he may not be
able to contribute so heavily as Her.
bert to the campaign funds. the fact
that. he Is running on a business"
MI ma tn nj
file of the Republican voters and gain
for him the nomination. This would
seem to be the trend at the present
time. as at almost every meeting APP
pleby has spoken, the Republican
voters have pledged him their support.
However at the present time there
is q possibility that Joseph Thomp-
son of New Egypt. VIII prove one Of
the popular candidates in the Septem-
Der primaries Thompson is stdd 10 be
mixer and a man who creates a good
impression and this coupled with the
fact that he is we'll known in Ocean
and certain sections of Monmouth
counties and has a great many boost
ers is expected to give him lot Of
votes.
Then there is Robert Carson to fig
ure with. Carson has already weather.
ed two campaigns and although defeat
ed each time by Thomas ]. Scully the
Democratic standard bearer of the
third congressional district, Carson ~
well known about the district through
his previous campaigning
However the fact that the Repubi-
can votes will be split up between
four candidates. two from Middlesex,
one from Monmouth an done from
Ocean. makes it impossible to make
even a good guess as to who viii
be the choice of the Republicans in
the district for congressman in the
September primaries.
