FRIDAY, MAY 31, 190T. A FIVE-STORY HUILÙiOG. Dr. G. W. Tyrrell is gring to take a hand at talking Perth Amooy. His kind of talk ν,'111 Include actions as ■well as words. The doctor announces that he will put up u. five-story build ing In State street on the site of his present two-story frrme structure. This will be one of the greatest im provements this city has had in some time. It will add greatly to the ap pearance of State street.. Five story buildings are not common in this city as yet, but we are growing and Dr. Tyrrell's project leads the way thus far. This is the kind o£ talk that counts. Let State street get the serv er built and new pavetfient laid and that thoroughfare will yet be able to regain its lost prestige as a business center. THF GOVERNOR'S OFF JRTVNITY. Whether or net Governor Stohee ■was lnihienceil by in·; ed; o-i^l which appeared in the ..'cw.uk evening News Monday night, Ihe announce ment that he will send a special mes sage to the legislature when it con venes next month urging civil service laws, jury reform aud choice of Unit ed States senators by popular vote, is encouraging. The governor will find that public opinion will back him in this reform legislation, as it backed Governor Hughes in New York, if he will put up the fight Hughes did. The editorial which ' appeared in the Newark News Monday is as fol lows: Wtien tne New York lesiBla ture met, Governor Hughes, a new man -and an inexperienced politician, proposed popular re forme. He found arrayed against him the solid strength of the democratic machine, led by Pat McCarren, and the united strength of the corporation stand-pat element in his own party, the regulars, led by Sen ator Raines, of Haines hotel fame. The Raines-McCarren com bination showed its control of the situation hy whitewashing and keeping in office Kelsey, the insurance superintendent, who had proved himself Incapable and inefficient, if not worse. The same forces that saved Kelsey were lined up to defeat the gov ernor 011 his bills for regulation of utilities and other reforms. In New Jersey Governor Stokes, an experienced politi cian, urged upon the 1 · ture a great reform in pubjie affairs by the passage of a civil service ^ Ml. He found himself, as did Hughes, confronted by the solid and united opposition of the ma ι chine bosses and the corporation r ? and piratical interests of both parties. There the parallel ends. r Hughes went out before the r people and told them what the conditions were. He asked for I their help in forcing the legisla ture to represent them instead of ι doing the work of the corpora tions and the bosses, and the people responded. Cowed by the force of public sentiment, the Raines-McCarren combination sulked for a few days and then surrendered. The governor and the people won. Stokes tried to make terms with the jjoliticians and the I bosses to pass his civil service I bill. Up to the present time he has been beaten, and he is still trying to win by making terms with the bosses. There is still time for the governor of New Jersey to win his fight for civil service, as Hughes won his fight for his utilities bill, but he has got to do it by the same kind of fight ing. An appeal to the decent people of New Jersey for sup port of a governor who was fighting the bosses, the ma chines and the corporations would bring to his assistance an irresistible public sentiment and demand in which the bosses and their puppets would be swept away. The New York bosses yielded to Hughes in an attempt at self-preservation. Public sen timent in New Jersey is no less honest and vigorous than in New York, but it can't be reached by attempts to placate the bosses, Hughes didn't win that way. COMPETITION PAVS. Competition pays. The growth of the Citizen's Electric Light, Heat and Power Company, made up of local citizens, shows what can be done in the line of public utilities when a body of citizens hand themselves to gether for a definite purpose. The rival electric light and power com pany has been a good thing for Perth Amboy. It has broken the monopoly of the Public Service Corporation. It deserves its success. The city is now paying the Public .Service $!)5 per lamp for street light ing. Other places, where there has been competition or where municipal ownership has been threatened, the Public Service has furnished street lighting for $70 per lamp or less. This is evidence that competition pays. We believe that the municipal ownership agitation would soon die out if there was a healthy rivalry in all public utilities. When the pres ent lighting contract here expires, Perth Amboy will doubtless get a $70 offer from the Public Service. It will not be surprising, however, if the Citizen's eoippany goes lower. At any event, Perth Amboy is bound to profit by the competition. Mayor Bollschweiler is to bo coin mended for the pride he takes in the city's appearance. As far as his power goes he is using every effort to have the streets in presentable shape and, with the excellent work being done by the street department under Alderman Stacey and Commissioner Fullerton, Perth Amboy can afford to feel proud of the present administra tion. ι I ffll—I IIBiiilliilWIMllJWMBBBWKMWP' ' es YOU LIKE IT. ; KimBBBB)·····»!)· A grave mistake.—Burial alive.
