PUBLIC OPINION.
Editor EVENING NEWS:

EQlJOT Nv ErNlING M D.
What was the most disgusting
piece of presumed humane act was
perpetrated upon an injured Hun
garian, at the hands of the driver of
the ambulance wagon of American
Smelling and Refining plant.
The ambulance wagon drove up to
the foot of Fayette street and G. R.
r. and finding that he could not drive
over the tracks, the heartless driver
grufiy ordered the occupant to get
to hell out of the wagon and walk
home" The writer and another by
stander at first thought that the occu-
pant of the wagon was under the in
fiuence of liquor; but on noticing of
the mans facial expression of pain
while unassistingly climbing out of
the ambulance wagon, and by the
slow, limping walk, often stopping
for gathering of strength to continue
on his way, it was readily seen that
he was very much in pain. He walk
ed on for at least four blocks in the
same slow n This matter
should be investigated by some one,
and the driver to receive his just and
due punishment.
1t was an act decidedly cruel and
unhumane. The American Smelling
and Refining Company owe 1t to their
body of workingmen to punish the
heartless driver.

THE pRopRIEToRs' MEETING.

Once more the old colonial custom
has been followed by the annual
meeting of the Board of Proprietors
in East Jersey in this city. This
meeting is not as much of a feature as
the session of the West Jersey board,
which assemblies annually in Burling-
ton. The meeting there was held a
short time ago. The proceedings are
held in the street, according to GUS
tom. In the present day, however,
the street session is brief, but the
members of the board keep up the
practice established years ago by the
original owners
The little structure next to the
city hall in this city contains many
priceless volumes and records which
1T is proposed to turn over to the
state. Should this, be done the city
should not fail to secure control of
this surveyor generals office and
preserve it as the last remembrance
Of the famous board, which, at n
time, controlled practically half the
state.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Citizen and the Primary Law

At the dinner of the Society of Co.
lonial Wars at Lakewood, last week,
Corporation Counsel George l.. Rec
ord said: '"The primaries in New Jer-
sey are neglected, and the primary
law in this state is, | believe, the
best in the United States"
Mr.. Record spoke the truth, but
what he says will doubtless surprise
the many people who have been led
to believe by chattering newspapers
and other authorities, that the pri-
mary law in New Jersey is sadly de-
fective.
AS Mr.. Record says, the primaries
are neglected. Not by the state or
the party managers, but by the very
class of people who have the most in
terest in good government, and who
are loudest in their complaints about
bad government.
The neglect of these voters would
be far more serious if there were no
party managers and committees to
keep tab on them and to chase after
them on election day to get them to
vote at the polls.
New Jersey has an excellent pri-
mary law, "the best in the United
States" but human ingenuity cannot
devise a law to have the statutory
effect to make men vote. Even If the
law had severe penal features there
would be many delinquents.
Organization and the systematic
work done by political party commit
tees and workers serve to make the
election laws as effective as they are,
Party shibboleths furnish the inspi-
ration that brings the voters to the
polls on election day.
Evidence of that fact is found in
the figures of the vote taken in spe-
cial elections on questions hat are
non-partisan. In the special election
in 1903, on constitutional amend
ments, the total vote cast in the state
was 39,434. In the presidential cleo
ton, in 1904, the total vote was
432,547. There were no political
committees and no party workers on
hand in 1908, and hence the vote was
only about 9 per cent. of the normal
in the state.-Newark Advertiser.
Jersey City Journal:
The new battleship New Jersey,
recently constructed at the Fall River
shipyards lei Boston, has been de-
livered to the Government at the
Charleston navy yard and is now a
member of the navy. The ceremo-

w. Kimball was placed in command
of the vessel and the American flag
was hoisted. In about three months
the New Jersey will leave the
Charleston navy yard and start on
her first cruise. !

DRY SUNDAY COMING.

Politics is not the only thing that
is going to furnish excitement for
Jerseymen this summer. The cam
paign is already on, but July 4, when
the new liquor law goes into effect,
there promises to be interesting
times. This law declares that all
screens and distractions must be re-
moved from saloon windows during
the hours it is illegal to sell. This
means that all day Sunday there
must be a clear view of all saloon
barrooms. July s, therefore, may be
looked upon as an eventful day. 1t
of closing up the saloons tight and
trusting to public sentiment to de-
mand that the law be not enforced.
On this subject the Hoboken obser-
Yer says:
1T was reported to the German
Liquor Dealers Association at New
ark at it's last meeting that some of
the brewing concerns in that city
were having manufactured small kegs
with which to supply families with
beer on Sunday in the event of the
saloons closing on that day under the
Founding law after July 4. AS in
common with other liquor dealers
association, the German organization
favors a thorough enforcement of the
new law in order to make it unpop-
ular. This key scheme was denounc-
ed and it was decided to notify brew
ers that those who attempted to get
family trade in this way would be-
boycAtted. HfI9
