reader of THE Newark Sunday Cali says
IN letter 10 that newspaper that under the
MANAGEMENT Of David Young, this electric road
Consolidated Traction Company is equal 10
any in the country as 10 equipment and safety.
Il is true that the lines of this system in Newark
and Jersey City are comparatively free from
accidents The chief criticism heard is against
the parsimony Of the company as a result OF
irving to make big dividends out of highly
watered stock.
There is always more or less trouble in most
Of the municipalities Of the State over the ap-
portionment of public advertising. No matter
what plan were adopted in selecting newspapers
there would inevitably be dissatisfaction and
complaint but there would be less reason for II
than there is now if governing bodies were to
apply the rules and discernment that guide the
Individual members in their private business
In Advertising the average business man ls
guided solely-prices being equal-by the circu-
htion of the newspapers and the kind Of people
nat they circulate among. Take for example
the financial statements Of the various town.
snip. city or county boards They are interest
ing chiefly TO the men and women who pay
the taxes. and so far as possible the advertising
ought 10 be so placed 10 meet their eyes
But in many cases the officials apparently have
no thought beyond helping newspapers to whom
they owe favOrs for services at election time
Something Of that spirit seems to have animated
the Monmouth County Freehoders in naming
the newspapers TO print the county reports. as
THE Matawan Journal" charges that every
Democratic journal in the county was chosen
and some of the most widely read Republican
newspapers ignored There is need for a specific
law regulating this matter.

The writer OF that does not say whether the
'cer,ain places" are saloons. cigar stores or
establishments where candy and ice-cream are
sold
On the face Of the returns Peter Ulrich, Re-
publican was elected 10 the Newark Bo@rd or

Democrat. Nj Gray demanded a recount. and
1t Is now in progress. The indications up 10
date are that the decision OF the Supreme Court
will turn upon the question as 10 what consul

cratic contention is that tickets not IN exact

that contention were upheld. as the count no"
