ELECTIONS are rather expensive under
the present system, and some way should
be devised whereby their cost could be
reduced. County Collector Powell on
Saturday paid out about $4,000 for sal
aries of election officers, and other ex-
penses for the canvass which closed on
Tuesday. The items In the bills pre-
sented to him vary greatly. A few in
stances are given: Lumberton, $135 one
district in Northampton, $219, another
district in the same township, $216; one
district in Cinnaminson, $19l.60; Mount
Laurel, 1852; Chester, east, $l56; West
ampton, $3.50; Mansfield, $200.80; Bor-
dentown, Sd, S2l3.6O. In each of these
places exactly the same services are per-
formed, although in some places there is
more work done, the officers in the coun-
try districts being compelled to do con-
siderable driving. There is too much
difference in many of the bills, however.
In some townships there is an evident
desire to keep down to reasonable figures,
while In other cases the sole aim appears
to be to twist and turn the law so that
every penny may be squeezed out. The
election law should be amended, making
the election boards saIaried officers, al
lowing mileage for those compelled to
visit the county seat. 1t would not be
hard work to get at least as good boards
as are now In power, if the fees were
taken away and fair salary attached
to the Office.

In THE organization of the Legislature
next winter there are two men who Bur
lington County Republicans would like to
see honored-Hon. Edward G. Stokes, of
Cumberland, and James P Logan, OF
Middlesex. The former is mentioned in
connection with the Presidency of the
Senate. for which position he has I'M
doubted ability, and to which for his de-
termlned and sturdy adherence to Repub-
lican measures andprinciples, he deserves
reward. While he halls from Cumber-
land. ne bears an old and honored Bur
lington county name, and is descendant
of that branch of the family. Mr.. Logan,
who aspires to the position of clerk of the
House, also bears good Burlington
county name, and is a native of this
county. He held the Office he now seeks
one year and was entitled to another term
which he never got. 1t is to be hoped
that both of these young men will be sue
cessful this time.

rarely spread before the public. The
ladies and gentlemen who conduct its
affairs manage it with great care and abil-

than any other charitable institution In
the county. 1t is to be hoped that others
will become interested in the hospital
and substantially aid it.
