manent Improvement for this road was mani
tested with a large delegation Of business men
from this section appeared before the Board of
Freeholders recently and urged immediate ac-
ton. When the Job is done it ought to be done
right. An old fashioned macadam road is no
kind Of a foundation for such roads as are need
ed to carry the traffic OF today. Not only is the
foundation insufficient, but the drainage is not
there and everyone who knows anything about
roads at all knows that proper drainage is es-
sential IL the road is to last.
When the freeholders advertise for bids for
the improvement Of this road they should
specify concrete as well as the type r" dress
ing so that a comparison can be made. II an
entire new road of concrete with proper drain
age can be built for the same amount of money
that a dressing of type R" on the old founda-
ton without drainage would cost. there Is no
doubt about the wisdom of paving the road with
concrete and we believe that the sentiment of
the people using the road would be in favor of
concrete.
The freeholders, there is reason to believe,
still have money enough in their highway fund
to pave this road properly. This being the case
there is not a county highway that will be
used by more people than this road once 1t is
properly paved. 1t ought to be one OF the FIRST
to be tackled in the spring.

1t is commonly declared that
nothing succeeds like success.
There is much to be said in favor
of this time-honored proverb. But
1t is not always true. Often in hu-
man experience nothing succeeds
like failure; and there are instan-
e in which nothing fails like sue
cess.
The year 1855 brought to Abra-
ham Lincoln his two largest lees as
a lawyer. One of these was paid
by the Illinois Central railroad, and
the other he won in the Mccormick
reaper case. These two fees were
assurance Of success in his profess
sion, and one of the cases brought
him n of his keenest disappoint-
ments. He went to Cincinnati to
plead in the reaper case. and STAN
ton, whom he afterward appointed
secretary of war. refused to let him
plead. You know the story: II you
do not. read it in the biographies of
Lincoln. 1t is commonly cited, and
justly, to show that Lincoln did not
cherish resentments. But that Incl
dent has other lessons. Lincoln
might have gone back to Illinois
nursing his hurt feelings and saying,
Here. where l am known. ! am
rs great a lawyer as Stanton"
Mr.. Ralph Emerson, n of the
firm that employed Lincoln. has
told. and the lives Of Lincoln re-
cord. what he actually said and did.
Said he:
Il am going back to Illinois to
study law"
"Why, Mr.. Lincoln exclaimed
Emerson, who was himself a law
student and an admirer of Lincoln.
you stand at the head of the bar
in Illinois. What are you talking
about?"
"Ah. yes" said Lincoln. "I do
occupy a good position there, and I
think that ! can get along with the
way things are done there 10Y But

THE SCHOOL ELECTIONS TO-DAY.

Two of the most interesting school elections
being held in Middlesex county today are takins
place in Metuchen and Woodbridge. In Me-
tuchen the fight is over a question of poiicy'
women being candidates on both of the rVai
tickets. In woodbridge, however. strange as IL
may seem. the fight over whether or not q
woman shall be elected to the board.
woodbridge surely must be convinced that
r would be a good thing for a mother to have
a direct voice in the education of the children
Of the township. The entire nation has agreed
that women have a right to play an equal part
with men in public affairs. In practically every
town and city where school boards are appoint
ed at least one woman has been placed on this
important municipal board. The legislature has
acknowledged woman's right to a voice IN
rsducational affairs by placing one of the women
members of the assembly on the educational
COMMITTEES, and steps are being taken TO have
women represented on the state Board OF
Education.
What would be said. then, of a municipality
made up OF an enlightened electorate such as
woodbridge has. deliberately turning down a
woman candidate for the Board of Education
especially when there Is an opportunity to select
a woman Of such ability and high standing as
Is the woman candidate before the voters OF
Of woodbridge today. Persons in Woodbridge
who have the welfare of their schools at heart
will surely vote to put q woman on their Board
of Education.

their cases as we never do. They
have got as far west as Cincinnati.
They will soon be in Illinois"
Mr.. Emerson said that Lincoln
paused a good while after this re-
sumo of the situation, and then said
again. ~ am going home to study
law"
He did it. And in a way 1t was
the making of him. That year OF
success was the year also OF his
peril. Lincoln knew it. He also
knew that it was the year OF his OPP
portunity.
Many a man is ruined by prema-
ture success.
Many a man is unprepared for
the discipline and the disappoint-
ment which success brings.
Many a man stops far below
where Lincoln was in 1885, because
he does not rightly estimate the
opportunities and the dangers OF
the success he has already won.
When Lincoln was forbidden to
plead in Cincinnati, he sat down
and listened to the other lawyers.
He saw that they were able to mass
their facts in logical sequence. to
pile their arguments with cumula-
tive effect. which he had never
found necessary in jury trials. He
knew that this was a challenge to
him 70 put into his preparation
something which he did not as yet
possess. He saw that while he had
abilities which Stanton did not have
Stanton had a preparation which he
himself lacked.
1t would be the making of many
a man who has had a moderate
success, IL he could have with 1t a
heart-breaking disappointment to
bring him to such a decision as
Abraham Lincoln made at Cincin-
natl in 1855.
Fortunate is the man who rightly
estimates the opportunities and per-
lis of his successes. Fortunate also
is the man who knows how to trans
form his failures and disappoint-
ments into material for future sue
cess.

ROAD SECOND TO NONE.

There isn't a road in Middlesex county that
Is more worthy of the attention of the Board
of Freeholders than the highway leading across
Woodbridge township between Perth Amooy
and Roosevelt. This road connects two OF the
largest municipalities in the county. Perrin
Amboy alone has a population Of 4l'7O7 while
Roosevelt's population Is 1l,o47. In addition TO
these two places there is Woodbridge township
With a population of ls.t2s and two of the more
Important towns in Woodbridge are directly on
his road, sewaren and Port Reading.
This road Is in a depiorable condition. The
fecent attempt to patch 1t up with cinders has
been so much money wasted. The road Is one
of the old fashioned macadam highways built
In the old days when the so-caiied stone roads
were the latest thing in highway construction.
The enormous automobile trafhc over this road
soon wore it full Of holes and they have been
going from bad TO worse until the road Is all
but impossible. No one thinks of using it I'M
less absolutely necessary.
There is some talk of the freeholders using
the present stone foundation to put a top dress
Ing of what is known as type r" material upon
K. But the road is already above the side
walks in some places. To go on building 1t up
is only adding trouble for the t.--e when a real
pavement is laid.
Thi. so-called type r" material is nothing
more or less than Warrsnite. the patented ma
terial that, in spite of its enormous cost, seems
to be such a favorite with all the public bodies
having road contracts to give out. The
EVENING NEWS is reliably informed that a
new concrete road built from the foundation up
and with proper drainage on each side can be
built for about the same price that this top
dressing of type r. would cost. This is a mat
ter that ought to be looked into.

MORE LIGHT ON THE AVENUE.

While the class of business may not warrant
a white way just at present there is no doubt
about the need of more lights on New Bruins
wick avenue between Fayette street and Smith
street. Some day Jefferson street is going to
be cut through to State street and the character
CT the buildings in that immediate vicinity is
going to be improved thereby attracting a bet
ter class OF business.
But at the present time New Brunswick ave-
nue., especially from Jefferson street to the five
corners, is the favorite hang-out of a most un-
desirable element-an element that thrives In
darkness. A few additional lights in that neigh
borhood would work wonders there.
As a matter Of fact, New Brunswick avenue
ought to be one of the city's main business
thoroughfares. 1t is the main artery of traffic
TO and from practically the only section in
which the city can grow. 1t ought to be lined
with thriving stores OF the highest class instead
of being almost unsafe for decent people to
traverse at night. With Jefferson street cut
through from New Brunswick avenue TO State
street, stores on State street would find 1t just as
profitable. If not more 30, to have an attractive
front and entrance on New Brunswick avenue
by building all the way through the block as TO
confne their trade to State street and allow
New Brunswick avenue to be built up with a lot
of shacks as at present.
But, in the meantime. a vast improvement
can be brought by merely placing q dozen or
more lights on New Brunswick avenue brighten
ing up the dark spots. This is one of the
things that would not cost very much and its
benefits would far exceed the expense.
