Twenty-Five Years of Progress.
The Roman Catholic diocese of
Trenton is rs years old. When the
late Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Farrell came
to Trenton as the first head of the
new ecclesiastical division he had
under his care 60 churches, 81 priests
and 104 sisters. Then there we're but
four Catholic churches in Trenton.
Today the diocese has 140 churches
and missions, 154 priests and 315
sisters. There are ~ churches in
Trenton.
Twenty-Five years ago there was a
Catholic population of less than 10,-

George AIDE contributes to Success
Magazine for November, a collection
of choice tales which he terms 1.-THE
Funniest Stories I've Heard" 1t is
interesting to see just what a funny
man himself considers funny in 9th
ers.
In the Packingtown district of Chi
cago, says Upton Sinclair in Success
Magazine for November, there were
in two wards alone in 1904 ove g.
900 children who attended no schools
whatever.
The wisdom of. Mrs. Carlyle's IA
nous advice never to marry a genius
is emphasized in Harriet Prescott
Spofford's powerful story OF mascu-
line tyranny and feminine devotion
in the November issue of Success
Magazine.
The reckless pursuit of money is
the great American curse, says 0. S.
Marden in Success Magazine. In no
other country in the world is there
the same temptation to coin all of
ones ability, energy, education-ev-
erything-into dollars, as in Amer
lea.
The resources are so vast, the OPP
portunities for wealth SO great, that
it takes a very level head not to be
swept into the current that sets to-
ward the dollar. Nowhere else on
the globe is Mammon worshiped so
universally as in America. The very
freedom and equality of our repubil-
can institutions double the danger.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 20.
THE VOTING MACHINES.

Ever since the election, the voting
machine has been the subject of much
comment, just as it has been after
each election since it has been in use
in this state. Some newspapers, like
the Long Branch Record, are labor
ing under the delusion that nobody
wants the machine at all and the AS
bury Park Press is accused of being
alone in defending this new and ex-
cellent device for recording the will
of the majority.
The Record is mistaken. The
EVENING NEWS has always believed
in the machines and is now more than
ever convinced that they are a good
thing and should be placed in every
voting precinct in the state. But the
NEWS and the Asbury Park Press
are not alone in this. There is the
Newark Evening News, the Camden
Courier, the Burlington Enterprise
and many other state newspapers
which favor the voting machines n
spite of what its enemies may say
}against ii. We believe that the vot
ing machine, when handled properly,
is just as accurate as the counting
machine which are now ~indispensa-
BILE in all banking houses. They are
no harder to learn and manipulate
than the ballot system.
The Burlington Enterprise makes
a good argument in favor of the ma
chine in the following:
st must be admitted that these CON
trivances were found guilty of cutting
up some curious FRANKS during the
recent elections, but it is doubtful if
it would be wise to abandon their use
absolutely.
OhhtA ~ aPINHi ~ AaN IphAih
a make of voting machine that salts
flies the people and hands out re-
turns correctly. And it may be thar
the machines charged with dealing
falsely with the voter in some sec
tions OF this state, were o so much
to blame as those in charge of them.
They ought not to be condemned UNI
til a careful investigation of the char
ges has been made.
The argument that in some of the
rural districts farmers stayed away
fIqfh the polls because they didn't
k9ow how to manipulate a voting ma
chine, is a weak one against the de-
Eice. II ought to be as easy for a
farmer to learn how to vote by ma
chinery as it is for anybody else and
he will not be injured if the does pick
up a new idea now and then.
'The republicans are responsible
for introducing the voting machine
into New Jersey. Governor Murphy,
we believe, was the first executive to
recommend their installation here
and IL will not be strange if they are
condemned by the democratic major
ity for that reason.
''It should not be forgcslsa. how,
ever, that the state purchased a large
number of these machines at a con-
