FINE ROADWAY TO NEW BRUNSWICK

Some idea of the fine road the public will have between Me-
tuchen and Highland Park can now be had when, coming east from
New Brunswick, it is possible to use the half that has been COM
pleted. It is costing a lot of money to build this road, it is true
far more than it ought to cost, but it must be remembered that the
State Highway Commission is using every precaution in the way
of proper drainage, width and thickness to make this particular
stretch of highway stand up under the strain that it must carry.
With only half of the road completed, it is now as wide, nearly,
as many of the completed highways in the state. when the whole
road is finished it will be possible for four cars to pass abreast on
. smooth, hard surface built, apparently, to last a lifetime. This
Ia as all the main arteries Of travel should be built. It is particu-
larry necessary to have such roads as the Lincoln Highway and
the route to the coast resorts made wide enough for cars to pass
from behind regardless of the traffic coming in the opposite direc-
ton. 4
Another big improvement on the road between this city and
New Brunswick for which the city and Woodbridge township
authorities must be given credit, is the widening of the road be-
tween Perth Amboy and Fords and the laying of sidewalks for
the entire distance. This is a great advance in making the high
ways safe. The next thing must be a campaign of education to
make the people keep on the sidewalk.
We sometimes wonder if those who are walking along such
heavily travelled highways at night fully realize the danger they
are in. Many of these people seem to take delight in standing
up for their rights and insisting on using their share of the road
There is no doubt that the highway is public and the rights of all
are equal, but as the person walking on the edge of the road
does not carry a light it is impossible for the driver Of an auto
mobile to see him until he is almost upon him. This is particularly
true when lights are turned dim in order to be courteous to the.
driver of the automobile coming in the opposite direction.
Binding light at night are one of the greatest dangers in
travel; it is only decent to turn them dim as a car approaches
But it is just at such a time that the car is steared as far over to
the edge of the road as possible so as to make room to pass. Then it
is that the person walking on the side of the road cannot be seen.
The sidewalk is the proper solution and then if the city will
pave from curb to curb all the way to the city line it will not be
long before the entire distance will be thus improved and the road
between Perth Amboy and New Brunswick will be in as good con-
didon as it is possible to make it.

there, BoY!"

Around factories, offices, stores and any other places
where people work together, a thing frequently noticed by
visitors is the hard-boled attitude of grown-ups toward the
boys who are on the payroll.
The boss usually is salaamed and toadied to as Ii he were
a sacred COW. Miss Pansy Plush, the beautiful typist, gets a
lot Of fawning consideration. And even the male grown-ups
treat each other with a mutual Difference or respect, de-
spite a considerable amount of facetious joshing.
But when it comes to the boy who works around the place
well, when he's called and commanded, it generally sounds
as he were a trained dog that had to be handled roughly on
the theory that, give him an inch, he'll take a mile.
Rough treatment, lack of consideration, and a stern re-
buke are difficult for a grown-up to "swallow" despite the
callouses accumulated by the sensibilities during years-of toll
and contact with the hostile pack that are trying to get the
same dollar we're after ourselves.
The boy, fresh from home and just striking out for him
self, has none of these callouses. His nature is sensitive,
without insulation. And making him the target OF the UNI
necessary sharp word or lack of consideration is about the
lowestdown act that the socalled human being is guilty OF.
When it comes to girls, a thousand times more so.
Maybe you remember, years ago, the heartaches ana
spiritual injuries and dsappointments that were yours when
you first began making your own living. Probably there were
things that occasionally brought a few tears to your eyes.
lie we all kept this memory fresh before us, the boys who
work today would get a better deal.
Considering the harsh and ~thoughtless treatment that
most boys get on their first jobs, its no wonder that SO many
of them grow up brutal, cynical and defiant toward their
fellows.
You can tell how much of real manhood there Is in a
grown-up, by the way he treats the boys who work around
him. And you can spot the bully, roughing the lads In a way
he'd not have the courage to try on men his own size.
Another thing: These boys now working with us, and
making mistakes due to inexperience Gas We all did IN om
turn), are the future leaders OF the world. For all some OF
us know, our only claim to greatness may be IN having worked
with some great man Of the future, now a boy nervously
~fumbling at his first job.
A certain bapcageman didn't realize this years ago when
he permanently injured a tran-boy's hearing by boxing him
on the ears for c~luttering up the baggage car with electrical
apparatus. The train-boy was Thomas A. Edison.

There's a p~ostoffice now for each

CLEAN OUT THE LOBBYISTS

Regardless Of what effect the recent election may have on
Washington as far as the prohibition question is concerned, it is
quite evident that New Jersey is going to be "wet.' The Anti
Saloon League may continue to WELD considerable influence at
the national capital, but at Trenton it's power henceforth is nil.
The Democrats never have warmed up to the organization and the
Republicans are repudiatnigit in every way possible.
Many of the voters who favor prohibition object to debating
and browbeating; the very name lobbyist is obnoxious to them.
They like to think Of their legislators as men capable of doing their
own thinking and working out their own problems in legislation.
This "snapping the whip" business is abhorrent to the vast ma
jority of people. 1t makes no difference whether the cause for
which the lobbyist is working is good or bad, the principle is the
same. It i an insult to the intelligence Of the legislators and that
means it is an insult to the people who elected them.
It is one thing to advocate the passage of certain legislation;
II Ia quite another thing to bully, threaten and caJole the members
AZ the legislature into passing it. 1t is not pleasing to the people
10 contemplate hired lobbyists standing over their representatives
dav nv dav. passing from desk to desk as the members sit to
enact laws for the state, button-holing them in the corridors, ex-
setting promises under more or less pressure, and then sitting In
The most prominent seat in the gallery overlooking the body to
Zee that the promises are carried out when the final vote is taken.
These are the tactics of the Anti-Saloon League wherever it
works. 1t may be claimed that railroad, public utility, patent
navement and other corporations resort to the same tactics so why
sbould not those who are working for the moral uplift of the
,.eommunity use the same methods, especially as they prove so salts
factory in accomplishing the purpose intended. OF course, one set
81 lobbyists cannot be ousted without oushng all Of them. If
fhe revolt against the Anti-Saoon League that is now so apparent
81 Trenton will lead to the clearing out Of all the lobbyists, at
aeast have them barred from the floor of the senate and assembly
when those bodies are in session, something really worth while
Mil be accomplished
= It is pretty nearly time for the members Of the legislature to
2ssert their Independence In every respect and exercise their own
hest Judgment in representing the people and carrying out the
wishes of their constituents. If they are incompetent or fail the
nsople can retire them at the next election and replace them with
men upon whom they can depend.
