coNoREssMEN GET FIRST HAND INFORMATION

Iii said that official Washington is waiting for the re-
turn of the representatives in congress who have been en-
joying a recess, to get first hand information as to sentiment
throughout the country on the tariff bill. The congressman
have been home, now, for several weeks and they have been
rubbing elbows with their constituents, hearing what they
have had to say. These congressman, truly, ought to be able
to give Washington some valuable information. One can
easily imagine what that Information will be. The question
is, will congress act in accordance Herewith?
The tariff has become a vital issue with the people. The
fight in the senate has aroused nationwide interest and the
meaning of some of the duties that it is proposed to put on
some imports is being understood as never before.
Take the proposed duty on wool, a more vicious piece
of legislation has seldom been offered. Yesterday the SEN
ate voted to keep hides on the free list thereby, according to
the New York Tribune which is one of the staunchest Re-
publican newspapers in the country, saving Americas bills
for boots and shoes an enormous increase. If putting hides
on the free list will help keep down the cost of shoes, why
not keep down the cost of clothing by treating wool in the
same way?
These are some of the things that the congressman
have been hearing during their vacation. 1t is the cost Of
living that interests the voters today and when congress de-
lberately increases that cost it cannot escape its respon-
sibiHty.
1t is a different matter when certain manufactured
products which do not affect the living costs and the home
life of the people are concerned. There are certain things:
among them dyes and chemicals, that ought to to be pro-
tecfed in the interest of American industry, and a high tariff
is justified. America made great progress along these lines
during the war and if given the right kind of encouragement
this industry, which was formerly German controlled, can
can be extensively developed.
But it is with the cost of the necessities Of life that the
people are vitality concerned. The congressman, by this
time, know how much they are concerned and, if they are
wise, they will act accordingly when they get back to Wash
ington.

REPAIRING THE clrY's PAvEMENrs

Perth Amboy is getting some unfavorable publicity on
account Of the condition of Sheridan street which is the ap-
proach to the Anboy bridge. The following editorial ap-
peared in the Hudson Dispatch, of Hudson county, on Mon
day:
'Perth Amboy is unwilling to repave the approach
to the bridge connecting the Amboys, claiming that it is
q State road, but while the claim is awaiting adjust
ment-over a period of several years-Perth Amboy is
getting a very undesirable brand Of advertising from
the condition of the street.
..The approach to the bridge is full of bad holes
and is a disgrace both to the city and to the State. While
the responsibility for the road is being fought Perth
Amboy would do we'll to keep the holes filled up, no
matter how much it might cost.
sarhat bad stretch is about the only bad piece of
roadway between Hudson county and the shore re-
sorts"
Alderman patten, chairman of the street committee,
has promised a general improvement in the condition OF the
movements throughout the city. The Evening News urged
that the start be made on Sheridan street. This pavement
is. indeed, in d~eplorable shape and as it is travelled by thou-
sands of non-residents every week-e END the citys standard
is very apt to be fixed in the minds of these strangers by the
condition of that street.
One who is familiar with cities generally declared re-
Gently that, contrary to the prevailing opinion here, Perth
Amboy does not compare very ~favorably with other cities in
the matter of pavements. 1t is not that this city has not
4he number of paved streets, but that the pavements have
been poorly laid and have worn out quickly That many Of
the payements in Perth Amboy have gone to pieces within
the past year or two is apparent and if the city is to regain
lie renutation it must do something more than merely dump
cinders in holes and patch up here and there. repair out
fit for asphalt and bituminous material ought to be bought
and kent in use. It would mean money saved in the long
mn. With the increasing number of paved streets in the
city the pavements must be properly maintained. -

IL have often been asked whether

il. SO far as I can recollect,

when I was quite a little fellow.
IL so happened thai my fathe: had q
| pupil of about my own age with
whom 1 used to play. He was me
! son Of a Mr.. Herdman, who owned
a large -four mill near Edinburgh
and. of course. l went over to n
there. We romped about and got
into all sorts Of mischief, until at
last one day Mr.. ,Herdman called
us into his office for a very serious
talk.
why can't you boys do some
thing useful he said. instead OF
always getting into mischief"

some useful thing to do, and he re-
Piled by putting his arm into a bag
and pulling out a handful of wheat.
! He showed us that the grains were
| covered with husks, and said: II
| you could only take the husks OH
that wheat you'd be doing some
thing useful indeed
THAT made rather an impression
upon my mind, and / began to
| think, Why couldn't we take the
kusks off by brushing the seeds off
with a nailbrush!
I'VE tried the experiment and
found it successful, although it In
volved a good deal Of hard work
from the two Observation-Disclosures. We
~rersevered, however, and soon had
a nice little sample of cleaned wheat
to show Mr.. Herdman. I then re-
membered that during our expiora-
| items at the mills we had come
across a large vat or tank with a
lIaddle-wheel arrangement in it that
whirled round and round in a casing
OF quite rough material, brushes or
fine wire netting. or something OF
that sort. If we could only put the
wheat into that machine, I thought.
the whirling Of the paddle should
cause the seeds to rub against the
rough surface of the casing. and
thus brush off the husks.
1T was a proud day for us when
we hoys marched into Mr.. Herd
mans office, presented him with our
sample Of cleaned wheat. and sug-
gested padding wheat in the dried
out vat.
Why said Mr.. Herdman. that's
Quite a good idea and he immedi-
ately ordered the experiment to be
made. 1t was successful, and The
process, I understand. or a substan-
TALLY similar one, has been carried
on at the mills ever since"
