LET THE SEWAREN PEOPLE DECIDE
That there would be objection on flic part of som<
residents of Sewaren to t lie proposed annexation of tha
section of Woodbridge township to Perth Amboy was lo b(
expected. It is also natural that Woodbridge should op
pose losing any more of its territory, especially such a
valuable waterfront section as Sewaren. Having lost Car
teret and Chrome a few' years ago and with Fords threaten
ing to break away at any time, Hie township is in danger ol
going to pieces.
And that is exaclly what is going fo happen soonei
or later. Woodbridge is becoming unwieldly. It is made
up of too many separate communities, each one growing
on its own account. What benefits one community is ol
practically no benefit fo the others, yet all are taxed to pay
for the improvement.
Take all the paving that has been going on at Fords
in recent years, the entire township is taxed for these
improvements, yet the money might as well have been spent
in paving the streets of New York City as far as the people
of Avenel, Colonia or Sewaren are concerned.
One of the reasons advanced by some of the people
of Sewaren for joining with Perth Amboy is the small re
turns they have received for the taxes they have paid. They
have been taxed the same as the people of Fords or Wood
bridge, yet. practically all the township money has been
spent elsewhere. Cinder roads and mud sidewalks have
been good enough for Sewaren while the streets of Wood
bridge and Fords have received the pavements.

for the movement to annex Sewaren to Perth Amboy only
emphasizes the advantages of annexation. By advancing
this argument Woodbridge people are practically admitting
that as long ns Sewaren remains as it is real estate is dead
“nd development is impossible. But once the village be
comes a part of Perth Amboy real estate will become active
and the section will grow as never before.
If real estate operators are back of this movement, as
some people in Woodbridge claim, the object of these real
estate men is to sell lots and make money for themselves.
This being the case, they would not favor the annexation of
Sewaren to Perth Amboy if they thought the property at
Sewaren would sell belter by remaining a part of Wood
bridge township. And if it is going to be beneficial to the
land owners to have Sewaren a part of Perth Amboy it fol
lows that the benefits will be general.
That there is much sentiment in Scwaren in favor of
annexation is evident. The question of annexation ought to
be left to the people there to decide. The election ought to
be fair in every way.
We do not believe there is any “joker” in the bill now
pending in the legislature. If there is, it is a “joker” that
will work both ivnys. As a matter ot fact, there is more
reason to fear “colonizing” from Woodbridge in an effort
to defeat the annexation program that there is to fear “col
onizing” from Perth Amboy in favor of the project. But
Uiere ought to lie no unfair methods resorted to whatever.
Let the residents of Scwaren, who are really residents there,
decide the question themselves.
The Evening News believes that it would be of the
utmost advantage to both Perth Amboy and Woodbridgo if
Ihe whole township were annexed to the city with a com
prehensive city plan and zoning system put into effect im
mediately to carry out the development. Then, indeed, would
we have* a municipality worth while. Sooner or later this
has got to come. It is just as logical as the creation of a
Greater New York or any other metropolis that has grown
up anywhere.
In the meantime Sewaren has made the first move.
If the annexation plan is defeated this time, it will be tried
Again. Some day it. will succeed. The least that can be
iskod is to permit, the people to pass upon the matter.
BRAZEN DEFIANCE AT TRENTON
The Republican majority is making an awful mess
iver the proposed ousting of the New Jersey Bridge and
funnel Commission. This is a political quarrel over pat
onage, pure and simple. The Republicans see a nice juicy
pie in this tunnel matter and they want more than a huger
in it, they want both hands in.
Monday night T. Albeus Adams, chairman of the tunnel
. ommission, having heard certain rumors and insinuations
appeared at Trenton and demanded an investigation. He
wanted any charges that anyone could bring against him
stated in open meeting and he desired a chance to reply in
the same open and above-board maimer.
The committee in charge of the bill was willing to give
him a hearing, all right, but when it came time to hear Mr.
Adams he was invited to appeur in a hotel bedroom with
the public and reporters barred. When Mr. Adams iqsisted
on a public hearing so that everybody would know what was
said, the committee refused to hear him at all.
The Republicans iiiay cram Ibis ripper bill through the
legislature .as a parly measure but lit do so under such cir
cumstances as now appear cannot help hut discredit (lie par
ty. Ilis the most vicious method of legislating for the pco
p!^ that can he adopted.

HASKIN TODAY TELLS
OE THE SENATE PAGES
Daily Letter by Frederic J. Haskln
_ i
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.—The 1
Uttlo boys one sec* sitting on the |
double steps of the rostrum, at the
feet of tho vice president In the
United State senate chamber, are :
the senate pages. Bright-eyc-I
cheerful, manly Uttlo fellows the;,
wait dally upon the country s
statesmen, Republican and I'err.c
crat alike. They are as stvrt *s a
Keen steel blade, quick as lightning,
ready and willing to "fe: h i n the .
North and "tote” for the South,;
making the most of their term with;
a wary young eye turned toward the
future.
These pages have a rather envi
able position for small boy*, being
appointed by tho senators for a term
of four years at a salary of $2.BO
per diem and a bonus. They enter
at tho age of twelve and leave at
sixteen, provision being made by the
senate for them to attend night
school; thus for four yoars they are :
in a position to acquire a most in- 1
tlmate knowledge of political econ- 1
omy; of being able to study and to
learn something of the art of ora- i
tory under the best of masters; of 1
being acquainted with the country’s .
statesmen and hearing their opin- i
Ions publicly expressed, and coming i
Into intimate contact with public .
life.
Their pastimes and sports fill an
Important part in their terms; they
have their football eleven and their
baseball nine and last year were the
proud and triumphant winner* of
the silver cup given by Senator Mc
Cormick for both those spoils in
competition with the pages of the
House of Representatives. At Christ
mas time it la the custom of the
vice president to give the boys a
dinner, which Is held with all the
dignity of a grown-up function, there
being no end of regular grown-up
toasts and lengthy after-dinner
speeches given and enjoyed by the
participants. When Leland Stan
ford sat in the senate chamber he
presented each boy with a five dol
lar bill at the Tulctide and a dinner
at his home followed by a perform
ance Riven by hired talent’ to enter
tain his little guests. As a parting
souvenir of such evenings, a gift of
cuff buttons or some other small ar
ticle designed to delight the heart
of the growing youth, is presented to
each page. In spring when the out
doors is calling, the circus comes to
town. A senator always provides the
tickets and the pink lemonade for
all of the pages, and there is a hap
py expedition to the “big top.”
All Collect Signatures
Nearly every one of the pages
treasures an autograph album. These
contain nearly, if not all, of the sig
natures of the great men of the pres
ent day In official life.
The favorite pastime is a mock
session of the senate, when the pages
are allowed the use of the senate
hamber on days when the senate
s not meeting, and sometimes In the
Tiornings of meeting days. The most
mportant legislation ever brought
before this body of junior solons is
t bill to write into the statutes pro
vision for increasing the salaries of
Lhe senate pages manyfold. One
page presides in the vice president's
luiir, and the session is carried on
In a serious way. Visitors who drift
Into the galleries during these ses
sions invariably are so interested
that they will slay to the close, as
:onished ut the oratorical gifts dis
mayed by some of the lads. While
his is only amusement to the boys,
hey are gathering a presence and
.ddress certain to Mfn H < in well in
he future.

tte pages—sixteen "regulars," live
'temporaries," and two for the telo

Record and of all bills and reports
»f committees. One page attends to

dent is in order and that his gavel
Is ready to call the senators to or

of seeing to It that the sand bottles
