FIX The ROAD TO WOODBRIDGE

With the season rapidly advancing when the traflc
on Route No. 4 of the state highway system will be greatly
increased nothing has yet been accomplished, apparently,
toward putting that section of the highway beween this city
and Woodbridge in shape. 1t is in a deporable conaltion
at the present time and is growing worse every day.
The hills just north of Alpine cemetery are particularly
had. The first one has the pavement laid over against the
easterly curb and it has been so cut in various places that
riding is difficult, not to mention the danger of it. AT the
same time, fully half the street is useless, being unpaved.
On the second hill the rmts have been cut so deep that
traffic going south is f forced to keep almost in the middle of
The narrow pavement so that it is hard for traffic going IN
the opposite direction to pass.
The road to Spa Spring hill is full of bumps and bad
cuts making, altogether, about as disagreeable a two or
three mile ride as is to be found anywhere i'll the state.
There are going to be many complaints about this stretch OF
highway once the summer traffic begins.
Perth Amboy cannot escape her responsibility in the
matter. The city generally is well paved. 1t seems too bad
to have this reputation ruined because of the bad stretch
of pavement over which nine-tenths of the traffic through
the city will pass.
The State Highway Commission is ready to cooperate
with the city in this matter. Such corporation is necessary
according to law and unless the city takes some step toward
making the improvement it is doubtful if it can be done.
There is reason to believe that should the city show a dis
avenue the State Highway Commission will build a new and
much wider road into Woodbridge like The state highway
through Railway. Perth Amboy could pave for the full width
of the street as, far as it deemed advisable, filling out on
either side of the strip paved by the state. Truly, it is time
Tor 1hecity to take up this matter i'll earnest with the State
Highway Commission and get something done.

HELP ABOLISH THE SALOON

The movement ON foot to have the NOlStead act al
tered so as to permit the sale Of light wines and beer might
gain more popular support if the public could be convinced
that it would not mean the return of the saloon with all its
accompanying evils.
There is no doubt that it was the saloon that brought
brewers to 'clcan up amounted to nothing until finally the
people became so Disguised that they decided to go the limit,
and wipe out The whole business.
AT the present time, even with prohibition, there are
thousands of saloons all over the country that are hanging
OH by their eyelids, the proprietors still hoping that some
thing will turn up so that they may open in the same old way
once more. On the pretense of selling nearbeer and soft
drinks they keep their bars going and there is no doubt that
once it should be made lawful to sell wine and beer these
saloon would once more flourish as of yore. 1t is because
Of this condition that thousands of people who see no harm
in light wines and beer and who even favor these as a salts
factory solution to the present deplorable state of affairs, re-
fuse to advocate such a compromise openly.
There is a bill now pending in the legislature that
would go a long way toward eliminating the saloon for all
time. This measure would abolish all screen and other OBJ
structions in windows of places where drinks are sold. Bona
fide drug stores are exempt, but in all other places there
must be a clear view of the interior at all times.
The secrecy of the saloon, the screened windows and
back rooms were the greatest objection to these places. But
no one ought to be ashamed to be seen drinking non-intoXi-
eating beverages, and the constitution forbids the sale of
anything else, it being left to congress to determine what
constitutes intoxicating beverages. With the saloon really
abolished so that there would be no chance of its return
should light wines and beer be permitted, there is no doubt
that sentiment in favor of light wines and beer would be
greatly increased.
With the idea of helping to wipe out the saloon and at
the same time put ain end to a great deal of the present law
lessness, the bill that has been introduced at Trenton for
bidding screens of any kinds in the windows of drinking
places ought to be passed.

WASHINGTON, March 3:-The
senatorial situation in several states
has been outlined in two Haskin
Letters. This survey is concluded
in this article.
Since the beginning of this series
another vacancy has occurred in the
senate through the acceptance of an
appointment to the federal bench by
Senator Kenyon of Iowa. Iowa usu-
ally can be counted upon as safely
Republican. Representative Sweet,
now representing the Third Con-
gressional District in the House, is
looked upon as the Republican can
didate for the seal in the senate. 1t
Is known that he will seek the NOM
ination. and thus far has no opposi-
ton. No announcement has been
made at the time this is written of
the possible Democratic seekers for
the nomination.
The situation in Missouri has
! changed in the past few weeks. The
prospects for Senator James A..
Reed, Democrat, are much brighter
than they have been. Breckenridge
Long, third assistant secretary of
state under the Wilson administra-
ton, is looked upon as the main
contender for the Democratic NOM
illdNiOIl dSdillSL OelldtOT IleSu, do NIL
Longs friends have been counting
upon the Wilson Democrats to OPP
pose Senator Reed. Recently. how
ever, several Democratic senators
who were bitterly against Senator
Reed in the league of nations fight
have determined to support him and
try to help his reelection on the
| ground hat he Is too valuable to
lose to the senate, and that his OPP
| position to the Treaty of Versailles
is nN sufficient ground to warrant
turning the cold shoulder to him.
A dozen or more Republicans
have been suggested, but it is be-
lieved that the selection, for the
nomination will not be narrowed
down in the Republican ranks until
after the Missouri city elections are
held in April. when some idea of
the political state of mind can be
obtained.
Montana and the n. y. League
In Montana the Non-Partisan
League is having some effect in the
deliberations of both big parties.
Senator Myers, Democrat, has not
yet announced his candidacy, but Is
expected to do so shortly. He has
been firm in his opposition to the
league, and at the elections two
years ago supported Republican
c%ontenders for public offices in cases
where the league endorsed Demo
Gratis. The league is said to be
grooming B. X. Wheeler to oppose
Senator Myers for the Democratic
nomination.
On the Republican side Represen'

tor Edwards are looked upon as the
leading candidates for the nomina.

THE BRIDGE OUT OF COMMISSION

The closing of the Amboy bridge for repairs by the
State Highway Department is simply a reminder of whati is
likely to happen at any time until the new bridge is built.
No doubt the highway department is doing its best in this
matter and every effort will be made to keep the present
structure in commission, but once the summer traffic begins
there is no telling what will happen.
From all indications the automobile traffic this season
is going to be even greater than last and there is a grave
question as to whether the old bridge will be able to with
stand the load. The new planking is going to help a great
deal, but the supports and especially the draw, are fast giving
out. 1t is TO be feared that this will not be the only closing
Of this bridge this year.

Your Health

BY DR.. r.. H. S II

There is u cult we might call this
cult of muscle. 1t has found great
stimulation from the findings OF
the army medical examinations.
Its code Is:
Remember hat you are at bot.
tom but an animal. The real busi-
ness Of your mind is to indicate how
best your muscles may be developed
Be muscular and you will be happy,
But the principles of modern sci-
| ence tell us the truth. They teach
that the cultivation of muscle is a
means, not an end. They teach
muscles are really the end organs
of certain kinds of nerves called mo-
tor, that the muscles for which the
nervous system has no purpose are
| simply a burden.
A muscle is living organ Of great
vitality. whether 1t be used or not.
and its upkeep demands a large sup
ply Of food and a perpetually work
ing apparatus for disposing of its
waste products. n
The highly muscular man de-
veloped by one of the modernN sys-
TENS of physical culture or c%oncen-.
trated calisthenics, requires much
food. and throws a heavy burden
upon his digestive apparatus and
excretory organs.
1t is usually true that the youth
who is successful in his studies is
often conspicuous in games, though
lots Of exceptions exist.
The boy with a good sys-
tenn and with a lot of energy as a
rule exhibits his good fortune veryf
often both in study and in sport buY
there remains a permanent and ned
essary antag onism between DEVELOP :
ment of mind and development o.
muscle beyond a certain point.
The value of exercise is that the
reasonable maintenance OF muscle is
necessary to keep us warm. Tho
general health OF the muscles is de-
sirable.
But the moment exercise develops
the muscles to an extent greater
than is required, then it simply In.

which has to be borne by the mind,
