The Jersey City Journal is of the
opinion:
"a number of Democratic news.
papers have been complaining about
the voting machines and alleging all
manner of evil against them falsely,
and it is difficult to understand why
there is any objection to them.
"Some of the objections is made to
the price, and it does seem that the
price should be reduced for large
buyer as the State has been and will
be. There have been charges of graft
in connection with the purchase of the
machines, but that has been made
mainly by newspapers run by CRAFTS.
and no proof nor presumptive evidence
has beer offered-not even the sugges.
tion of a name in connection with the
charges. Therefore that part may be
considered as gratuitous.
'The universal testimony is that.the
machines we're satisfactory to all who
used them, and it is to be hoped that
they will be adopted for all of the vot.
ing districts. The machines guaran-
tee that every voter will have his vote
counted, and the returns are all in a
few minutes after the polls close.
This is enough to warrant the use of
machines, and the kicking of the
"outs." who must have something to
complain about, will have no weight
in deciding the result"

Crusade for Clean money.

The crusade for clean money. which
has earnest support of all health Off
GERS who have expressed themselves on
the subject. meets no encouragement
from Secretary Shaw and other off.
cials of the Treasury Department.
When Representative Gaines. of Ten.
nessee, introduced into the Congress
last year bill providing for clean
money he submitted statement from
the health officer Of great city,
which showed that the average bank.
note, after few weeks use, teemed
with microbes, and was, from the
standpoint of sanitation. a most OBJ
jectionable article. The banknote was
described as very hotbed of disease.
Secretary Shaw refuses to be con-
vinced that the banknote is disease
breeder. He admits the theory, but
cites the condition. He points out
that there are in the employ of the
Treasury score of female clerks who
have been handling the dirtiest money
imaginable for many years. and yet
none of them have ever suffered from
any disease communicated by the
banknote. From all over the country
this dirty money, some of it so soiled
that it is fairly repulsive, is turned
into the Treasury every day. These
clerks must receive it, count it care.
fully, examine itwith the most minute
attention and then make it up into
bundles for transmittal to the Re.
demption Bureau. But no one of
chem has ever suffered from contact
with this money. For years the daily
amount of money turned in for re.
demption amounted to million dol.
lars. More recently, owing to the
steadily growing aversion to soiled
money and the demand for clean notes,
the amount of money turned in has
increased until now it is nearly two
millions day.
The Bureau of Printing and Engrav.
ing is running night and day to print

cult to keep up with the demand. The
force is to be enlarged so that a sur.
plus Of notes may be accumulated. 1t
has been found that if the notes are
held in reserve for time before being
put into circulation they will wear
longer, though, of course, they will
become soiled just as soon.
The last Congress never acted on
Representative Gaines bill for con.
stant supply of fresh money. although
the measure was favorably reported
from the Banking and Currency Com
mittee. Since then the agitation for
clean money has grown stronger, and
bills Of similar purpose will doubt
less be offered when the Congress
meets next December. The advocates
for this desirable reform will find
themselves hopelessly handicapped,
unless they can offer some indisputa.

tually transmitted by soiled bank

The idea that the chairman of the
dominant caucus is the party leader is
a product of the last decade. The
chairman of the caucus makes the mo-
tions on the floor that have been de-
cided on in caucus and the routine
motions snch as call of the house
and adjournments. It was only in
recent years that the chairman of the
caucus tried to lead the majority on
uncaucussed measures, and it was the
attempt to do SO that produced fail
ures. In fact, it was once considered
bad form, if not bad politics, to have
the chairmansip of the caucus known,
or to announce the fact that measure
was caucus product. 1t was custom
ary for the first man called in the
alphabetical roll call to give the cue
to the other members of his party and
it was no unusual thing to see the
chairman of the caucus set himself
beside the first member to be called on
his side to tell him how to vote on a
caucus measure.
Sometimes the chairman of the eau
Gus would change his seat in order to
be near the member farthest up on the
alphabetical list to be handy when
caucus measures were to be called.
1t is part of tile duty of the chair
man Of the caucus to see that he has
enough votes present to carry a mea-
sure before he calls for it.
Under the old regulations speakers
were assigned to discuss caucus meas
ures. The chairman of the caucus
did not undertake to meet all comers.
If the measure was of enough import.
ance the subject was divided SO that
one man presented the facts, another
the law and still another the merits of
the measure, and each had the advan-
tage Of prior notice and preparations
The opposition could not be so we'll
prepared because no notice of inten-
tion to move was given by the chair
man Of the caucus.

Model Manufacturing City.

Another experiment is to be made
in the way of building. operating,
governing aud maintaining a model
manufacturing city. The Roebling
Company, of Trenton. actuated by the
same motives that resulted in the
building of Pullman, in Illinois, have
selected Kinkora on the Delaware
River about half way between Borden
town and Burlington as the site of
their new rod mill and of its accom-
panying town. Two large buildings
have already been enclosed forty-eigbt
honses have been completed, and con.
tracts have been awarded for three
hotels and, twenty-four more dwell
ings. Every street is to be 100 feet
wide and paved, every house 10 be
single, with ample space around it; a
high pressure service will supply
abundant and pure water, while a
street cleaning and fire department
will attend to general sanitation and
protection. Only employees anu their
families can occupy the houses. and
the rents of which will be reasonable,
and the hotel charges will be so light
that even Iaboring men can board in
them and save money. Libraries,
churches and schools will be supplied
and everything that can be done to
make the place ideal will be done.
Will the employees appreciate it? Some
of them will. The majority OF them
will tolerate all the proposed restric.
tions for the sake of the manifest ad-
vantages to themselves and their fami.
lies. but others in Kinkora, like some
in Pullman, will growl because they
are not allowed to do just as they
please, to neglect their families. to
spend their money for drink and to
enjoy other privileges as American
citizens. Every such ideal city is a
good thing in its way, but it is re.
fection on democratic form of gov.
ernment. Left to themselves the peo.
pie build up big towns, but not such
as Pullman and Kinkora. Only large
manufacturing concerns that wish to
get the best work from their employees
build ideal cities for them to live in.

Increase of the States business and
the creation of new departments has
taxed the State House beyond it's
capacity to properly accommodate the
officials and there is strong and urgent
demand for further enlargement of the
building. The rooms allotted to the
legislative clerks and committees are
being utilized by the State Commits
sioner of Charities and Corrections,
the State Auditor and other officials,
but must be vacated before the session
opens and the ousted officials have to
squeeze in some other offices, as best
they can.
If another wing is added to the State
House. as proposed, it will EentaiI an
expenditure of probably $3.50. 600, while
for less than that amount separate
building for the State Library and
State Museum can be erected and the
vacated space in the old portion of the
capitol utilized for the new depart
ments.
Discussion Of the subject may be ex.
pected at the coming legislative ses-
sion.
An opinion from the Asbury Park
Journal:
The Newark Advertiser is trying to
discourage the use Of voting machines
at future elections. AS we'll try to
dispense with other time and labor
saving devices and 60 back to the days
of our forefathers. The voting ma.
chine is here. It has been we'll tested !;
and, while it is, perhaps, not abso.
lutely perfect, it is vastly more so
than any other system OF voting. The
voting machine has proven decidedly
successful. We believe it is good
thing, as easily comprehended as is
the ordinary old fashioned paper bal
lot, and we are looking forward to a
time, when, upon satisfactory terms,
every polling district in the State
shall be provided with a voting ma.
chine.

GET SUNDAY PAPERS.
Trolley Lines Aid Newsdealers In Ex-
tending Business In Country
Hitherto Isolated.

The circulation of Sunday newspa-
pers has largely increased among the
farmers Of territory near Chicago. The
rural mail carriers make no deliveries
on Sunday, but many Of the enterprise
ing newsdealers who get their papers
early In the day have Sunday country
routes where the farm houses are close
together. In some instances the Sun
day papers are delivered by the trolley
lines that run past many Of the houses
Tney run on Sunday as we'll as on other
days, and many farm houses that for
merly were cut off from the world on
Sunday now spend portion of the day
reading the big papers that they get
fresh from the city. The farmers are
taking large amount Of reading mat
ter. The rural carriers are doing more
and more of this class OF business. Not
only does the average farmer take his
own county paper, In many instances
two or three OF them, but he subscribes
for as many farm magazines and other
periodicals. There are few of the soil
tillers who are not now taking a daily
paper. They have grown to depend
upon 1t with about the same regularity
as they want their breakfast, and In
some instances they get both pretty
close together.

ANIMALS THAT OFTEN FAINT
In Moments Of Fear and Exhaustion
Cats and Dogs Fall in Heap

A little gray dog tumbled headlong in

square, says the Baltimore Herald, and
the maid who happened to be standing
there closed the gate. When the dog saw
she was safe from her pursuers-two
huge bull terriers-she toppled over In
dead faint. The other servants, who
crowded out into the area to help bring
the little animal to, derided the asser-
tion. but veterinary surgeon who fnal-
ly Joined the group said there was moth
ing preposterous about It. "Of course
she tainted" he said. Lots of animals
faint. Cats and dogs and even more
stolid animals keel over in moments Of
fear and exhaustion. In the case of
horses the prostration is generally at
tributed to sunstroke, but quite often
they are knocked out by plain. every
day faint instead of atmospheric ex-
cesses. Fowls faint. too, and the birds OF
the air In fact, 1t is hard to find any liv-
ing creature that doesn't topple over un-
der crucial circumstances"
