A POPULAR AWAKENING.

With the exciting campaign against
boss rule and mismanagement being
waged in Essex and Hudson coun-
ties, we, of the northern part of the
state, lose sight of the struggle
against corrupt politics in South
Jersey, particularly in the city of
Camden. There the reform element
does not have the assistance of an in
dependent press such as the North
Jerseymen have. The leading news
papers of Camden are machine org
ans and they can see nothing bad in
Camden politics as now managed.
The Legal Voters League, how
ever, is putting up a good fight and
the Philadelphia papers, already
aroused by the reform campaign in
their w city, are doing what they
can to aid the best citizens of Cam
den down the machine there.
To show how far the Gang" il
South Jersey can go, the following
appeared in a Philadelphia paper re-
garding the Camden situation:
In justification of the registra-
ton of alleged voters from cornfields
side yards, board fences and the rot
ten hulks of canal boats filled with
water at high tide, a legal opinion
has been given currency by somebody
to the effect that the laws of New
Jersey permit an inhabitant of the
state to select any place he choose as
his voting residence. A vacant lot
will answer as well as any Other
place. A perfect stranger may regis
ter from the home of a citizen of New
Jersey and the owner has no legal
right TO object to such intrusion OF
his domicile."
Perth Amboy evening news., 1905-10-23

a large share of this money is to be
speni on Staten Island. 1t is very
probable that it will be used to trans
form the present steam system into
electric traction throughout the isl
and. The very nature of the place
argues for electricity. The island is
a borough of greater New York. 1t
is being rapidly populated, settle
ments are springing up everywhere
and it will soon be one borough in ev-
cry sense of the word.
1t is practically impossible to reach
all of the present settlement by a
steam railroad. Then, again. much
time is lost by the frequent stopping
of a steam locomotive. Already the
ride across the island is very tedious
because of the frequency of the stops
and the settlements are going to in
crease rather than diminish. With
electricity, however, frequent stops
are expected and they can be made
with little delay or inconvenience. A
trolley road can run in many direc-
lions where a steam road would not
pay.
All these points, and many more,
argue for the change to electric pow
err in the neal future. The officials
who recently visited T~ottenville were
said to have been looking for a site
for a power house. The information
comes from good authority and the
announcement of the change in the
rapid transit system may be looked
for at any time.
