Roseila's nose is fiat,
Rosella's hair is really hair,
She wears it in a plat.
It's true Rosella's made Of rags,
But what is that 10 me?
Because I'm sure her hair must grow,
Her hair Is real, you see.
And when fasten on her clothes
And have TO use a pin

How far I stick 1t in.

She doesnt seem to care,
There must be something IN doll
Whose hair is really hair.

on their merits. They will have no
machines to work for them, no bosses
to declare who shall and who shall
not be placed in nomination. They
will have no great corporations to
back them, no workers and heelers
to do the bidding of those higher up.
They will ask the people, the intelli-
gent people who desire reform, to
name their own candidates and to
work for their election. If the ma
chimes, with all their power, are sue
cessful in sending their nominees to
the legislature, the people will have
nothing further to say, for the bosses,
and the organizations, and the con
trolling powers that be, will elect
their own candidate to the United
States senate. If the reformers win
they will be under pledges to the
people, not to the machines, to send
the peoples candidate to the senate.
This is one of the issues to be thresh-
ed out at the election next fall. 1t is
the issue of the people against the
machines.-Newark News.

THE BOSS BY PROXY.

1t is significant that at the alarm
meeting of the republican state COM
mittee at Trenton yesterday, in the
absence of H. II. Banker, of Middle
sex, Theodore Strong was present by
proxy. The fight is evidently get
ting so hot in this county that the
boss is afraid to trust important con-
ferences to his lieutenants. 1t shows
the workings of the machine, too
When the boss men hold the posi-
lions, the boss can take part by proxy
when he so desires. This is con
venient for the boss, but what abou
the people, where do they come in
This is the year when they get in
and the boss goes out. The Newark
Evening News, last night, reviewed
the situation in it's truthful form

ment in today's issue.

FIGHTING MOSQUITOES.

1t is good news to know that
Prof. Smith proposes to spend al
least $1,000 to drive the mosquitoes
from along the Raritan river and
$4,000 along Staten Island sound be-
tween this city and Roosevelt. There
are those who have always held that
the pest could not be driven from
this section, but judging from the
success on the Newark meadows, the
local problem looks easy. With mos
quitoes practically eliminated, there
will be some comfort out of doors
on summer evenings.
Sewaren will reap the greatest
benefit with the mosquito out of the
question. Our prosperous suburb on
the north is a charming little place
and possesses all the attractions inn
aginable, but at present the mos
quitoes counteract all the advantages.
The progress of the mosquito cru
SADIE in this state is remarkable. A
few years ago the wal on mosquitoes
was treated as a huge joke. When
the legislators were laughing at the
idea of appropriating $4,000 for an
experimental station, they never
dreamed that, within a year or two,
the state would be voting $350,00O
for the purpose. The wonderful sue
cess Prof. Smith has had in all sec
tions, has perhaps surprised himself.
He is now going to Europe for the
summer and the war will begin in
earnest this fall.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Difference.


The difference between the candi-
dacy of George L. Record for United
States senator and that of John F.
Dryden for reelection to the same Of
flee is this: With reference to Mr..
Records candidacy the people have
everything to say; with reference to
Mr.. Dryden's they have almost moth
ing to say. Had the efforts of SEN
ator Colby in the last legislature
been successful the people would
have had much more power than they
now have, but the men who are sup
posed to be favorable to Senator Dry
denis reelection defeated the Colby
bill, which provided that any number
Of legal voters, not less than 500,
might have their preference for Unit
ed States senator indicated upon the
official ballots for the information of
the legislators.
This is not a comparison between
the respective merits and qualifca-
tons of the two men already named
in connection with the Office of Unit
ed States senator nor of their rela-
ton to the corporations; it is only a
brief recapitulation of the methods
by which the choice is to be made.
Mr.. Dryden is the candidate of the
regulars" Mr.. Record, if he con-
sents to run, which he has not as
yet, will be the candidate of the anti
machine reformers.
Next fall the republican machines
in every county will put in nominal
ton machine men. They will not
ask the people; they will not consult
the voters. The organizations and
the bosses will look over the field and
will say: THAT man we can rely on
He's had one term; he must have an
other; party usage requires it," OF
another they will say: He's of no
use to us; he went over to Colby; he's
had only n year, but we can't con
troll him, and we'll turn him down"
This is exactly what they said of Mr..
Colby last year. It's what some of
them are saying this year with ref
erence to Marelli, of Passaic; Tucker,
of Union; and others. They're not
asking, What do the people want,
and who will best represent the pop
ular WHIP" but Whom can we con-
control and be certain that he will
vote for u c~andidate?" And when
the machine has settled these ques-
tons to its own satisfaction in each
county 1t will summon every Office
holder, every henchman, every ward
worker, every measure and method
known to practical politics, to secure
the nomination and election of its
men.

From all appearances Perth Amboy

Never, since the spring elections were

politics in this city at this time of

They realize that the party has been
wrecked and they have started many
months in advance of their campaign
to make repairs and get in shape to
meet the enemy.
There is a feeling of indifference
among some of the republicans. They
seem to think the democrats are so
badly split that there is little to fear
from that quarter. The democrats
are encouraging this feeling among
their opponents as much as possible
