Edison will recall
At my first question he plunged
into the Interview with all OF the
-emarkable vigor that he puts into
his work. Mr.. Edison is remarkable,
not only for his achievements. but
for the tenacity with which he clings
to- the strength of a young man.
His father died at the age of l0J,
and then only because, as Mr.. Edison
says. the cells OF his body wished
TO separate and reassemble in some
other body.

Not chance on earth" he re-

I'VE have government by a little

said the average intelligence repre-

lower than the intelligence of the

Intellect More Powderful.
Mr.. Edison was asked II human

II think it has. gained a good

Greek philosophers were pretty
blind. Almost everything we have
today was before their eyes. but they
could not see much of anything. The
lathe was looking at them. The
turbine was staring them in the
face. The internal combustion en-.

City Council to Have curbs Set;
Traffic Ordinance Gets First Reading
At the adjourned meeting of City
Council last Wednesday evening the
Sidewalk Committee, OF, which Mr..
Henry is the chairman, was authoriz-
ed to ascertain from the property
or the New York Road as far
north as TO include the four corners
of Faunce Landing Road, who were
notified several weeks ago to build
cement curbing in front of their prop
critics, whether or not they contemp-
plate making the necessary improve
ment, in order that the highway may
be permanently improved with hard
surfacing its entire width, or from
oIIrh IN oI1rh from Ahcnonn hridUo tn
Faunoe Landing Road. The commit
tee also was authorized, in event of
receiving a negative reply to adver-
tise for bids for doing the work at
the city's expense and under the mu-
~nicipality's supervision at as early a
date as possible, so hat the paving
contractor will not be delayed any
longer than is unavoidable in complet-
ing the road paving projects. When
completed, if done by order of City
Council, the curbing bills will be sent
TO the property owners for payment.
In case they refuse, it was stated, the
bills together with the costs will be
entered as liens against the proper
ties. However, it vas declared every
effort will be made to effect a concil-
iatory attitude among all parties con-
cefneQ.
First reading was given the ordi-
nance introduced by Mr.. Henderson
authorizing the Mayor of Absecon to
make the traffic regulations necessary
within the limits of said city, and to
present such measures for the en-
forcement thereof as may become
necessary.

SHALL STATE RIGHTS
BE ADVOCATED?

The United States Circuit Court, in
a decision at Trenton on Wednesday
granted the Public Service Corpora
ton of New Jersey, which operates
trolley lines in lac municipalities OF
this State, permission to collect an g.
cent fare, and an initial charge of !
cent for transfers. The company had
appealed to the Federal Court to re.
strain the Public Utility Commission
from interfering with their collecting
a 10-cent fare, which they had asked
of the Commission, but the Commits.
sion had refused more than a 7-cent
fare.
1t has beer announced by the It'll
ity Commission that they will appeal
the case to the United States Supreme
Court, and in this decision they are
backed by the various municipalities
affected.
This is a matter of the utmost i'm
portance to the public generally, as il
not only affects the northern section
of this State, but if carried to a sue.
eessful conclusion by the corporation,
would have a direct bearing on every
citizen Of this country. If the de.
cision is upheld by the Supreme
Court, State laws affecting all public
utilities would be worthless, as the

all other utilities, and the State Public
Utility Commissioners would be with.
out authority to act in these matters,
and would, of necessity, be abolished.
We cannot bring ourselves to be.
lieve, however, that the highest Court
of our land would allow such a
fragrant a%brogation of State rights.
Fol surely a State has the Constitu.
tionally-given power to regulate its
w utilities-those entirely intra-
State-and the learned Justices of oui
country's Supreme Court will recog.
nize that fact.

serve to the people of this Common.

should be spared to bring about a
speedy and successful conclusion OF
this apparent assumption by the Fed
