RIPPING RHYMES
By Walt Mason.
EIGHT Are Dead

Eight airmen lately have been
slain. while rushing mail across the
waste; to me such labors seem in
vain; oh, why this everlasting haste?
Eight men are dead and in their
graves, young chaps cut off before
their prime. since some official sap
head raves that mail must go in rec
ord time. The letters that the air
men took, when stricken out of life
by fate, would have been just as
good, gadzook, IL they had been a
fortnight late. The most of them
were doubtless duns. announcing re-
tribution sore. unless indebted sons
of guns coughed up at Johnson's
Gold Brick Store. A lot of price lists
and the like composed the dead
mems treasured mail; a comic strip
of Pete and Mike. and blue sky pro-
misses of kale. I have a large and
haunting bunch hat makes one fact
exceeding clear; There was no n
letter in the bunch tN2t could not
wait at least a year. Eight men are
dead and gone to waste, their brave
hearts stilled for evermore, because
OF this indecent haste that fills the
world with fur and gore. The old
time methods were the stuff, and all
this maudlin haste is bum; our let
ters travel fast enough-they always
jolt is when they come.

On March II, 1875, Lord Howe

that day Washington mounted his
horse in front Of his headquarters in

He had fought . second Bunker

PUBLIC OPINION
sTATE HIGHWAY BRIDGE

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
Your statement in today's NEWS
that the location of the new bridge
to span the Raritan had been finally
decided upon leads n resident OF
the county to make a suggestion.
Perhaps many wiz say n writer
view is visionary but here goes.
Now that the approach upon
Amboy side is to be from Convery
Place bridge over the Lehigh tracks,
roughly this bridge is perhaps 100
feet higher than tide. To avoid
grade crossing On Smith street say
this north end OF new bridge be
built of concrete, commencing at
south end of Convery bridge, spread
ing out on each side to allow road
way down the present grade. keep
ing level on top over Smith street
and the Pardee Works. Approach
from Smith street to floor of bridge
to be made on side of Smith street,
both north and south Sides. leaving
Smith street perfectly free under
the bridge, going out over the river
this should place the river spans say
100 feet above the tide. AS it is not
likely there ever will be a ship pass
ing UP the river with masts that
high, this would avoid an expensive
swing bridge to keep up for all
time.
Still a better plan, if trolley tracks
are to be placed on bridge, why not
make the bridge a double decker
like the Eads bridge over the Miss
issippi at st. Louis? This would al
low free traffic on top for vehicles.
On south side instead of landing
on the mud flats, carry the bridge
clear over onto the hills on that
side of river.
This would be a lasting monument
to the state. Why not? If this state
is to spend S18.0OO.000 for tunnel
under the Hudson and bridge over
| Delaware at Philadelphia, why not
blow a couple of million more for
an interior development?
AS the years roll by the traffic be-
tween the north New Jersey points
and the coast resorts is bound to
increase. And with the trolleys or
an under deck there would be nc
delay to autos, etc.
The residents of Metuchen do moi
do much but sleep in this town, per-
haps that gives some of us more
time to think of what is going or
in our neighboring suburb of Perth
Amboy.

HIGH GLASS POLICE WORK.

ssidom has a heinous murder been cleaned
IN in such a prompt and efficient manner as
was the crime that was committed in this
city Saturday night and which spread conster-
nation throughout the city all day Sunday. Be-
fore neon Monday a suspect had been arrested
and before 3 o'clock Monday afternoon his con-
fession was complete. 1t was about as high
class a piece of police work as has ever been
.performed in this or any other city. Chief
Tonnesen and his men are to be complimented.
In crediting the local men for their excellent
work we are not unmindful of the a~lertness of
Officer Mount, Of Keyport, and the trolley car
conductor who was first to give the tip that
led ND to the arrest of the negro. There is
certainly glory enough for all in this achieve
ment and as a result of the work of these men
this whole vicinity breathes easier today.
The murder was a particularly battling one.
The severe storm that ragged at the time the
crime was mmitt or Immediately thereafter,
removed all traces of any evidence that might
have been obtained in the vicinity of where the
body was found. The high character of the
young woman who was killed and the tots1
absence of any possible motive for killing her
eft the authorities with practically nothing to
work on. 1t looked as If the search for the
murderer would be continued for weeks and
that the crime would eventually pass into his
tory as one of the great unsolved mysteries.
But this is reckoning without the observing
trolley car conductor and the alert officer at Key
port to whom he gave the tip. The Negroes
blood-stained clothes attracted the attention Of
the trolley man and the policeman's instinct
did the rest.
Once the fellow was in the hands of the local
police they made quick work of the case. The
local police. with Chief Tonnesen in charge,
have been doing excellent work. New life, APP
parently, has been put in the police force and
everything on the books had been cleaned up
by Saturday night so that the chief and his
detective force were going home with a light
heart and with that satisfaction that always
comes with the knowledge Of work well done.
Then came the report Of the murder. Imme-
diately the machinery of the whole department
was set in motion to catch the criminal. Chief
and his detectives never left their
task for an instant. Mayor Wilson gave in
that no time or expense was to be
spared in catching the guilty party. There
was something doing every moment at police
headquarters from the time the report was first
until the big negro had signed his
confession. 1t showed efficiency on the
part of the police department and ability on
the part Of the men handling the case. The
people OF the city have every reason to feel
at the outcome and contented with the
police organization from Chief Tonneson down.

THE NEW UTILITY BOARD.

The names presented by Governor Edwards
for the new Public Utility Commission do not
represent any great degree of ability. They
do not rise above the ordinary. such as was to
be expected when the legislature reduced the
number of commissioners to three and raised
the salary to $4,000 a year each. AS a mat
ter of fact, they are about the sam calore
of men that the governor ousted from office
as being utterly unfit.
1t is a grave question whether these three
men whom the governor has named will be
CAPABLE of doing all the work required OF a
Public Utility Commission, especially at this
time. 1t is doubtful if these men will be able
TO earn the s12, 900 that the state is going to
nav them for their services. With the abolition
of the old board. the reduction of the number
of commissioners to three and with the in
crease in salary, great things were to be e-
pected. The cry was to raise the Public Utility
Commission to the dignity Of a court.
These appointments made by the governor
do not measure up to that standard, by any
means. There is no evidence that politics has
been eliminated in connection with the board.
All three men are typical politicians in their
respective districts. 1t is evident that the game
is being played as strongly as ever.
