THE voting machine may or may
not survive in this State. 1t is GER
tain, in any event, more unpopular
than ever before. Despite the fact
that the people might have been ex-
pected to have become little used to
the machines it seems to have been
pretty generally condemned. 1t was
reported at the polls that considera-
ole number Of citizens refused to vote
on them altogether just now the
voting machine seems TO have black
eye In Massachusetts it has been
cast out altogether by order of the
Supreme Court because it's use was
found to violate the State Constitu-
tion. In New Jersey even those who
were inclined to give the plan show
now appear to have lost confidence in

ANOTHER county wrongly reported
by the lighting calculators" as hay
ing gone for Katzenbach has been
heard from. Middlesex county, in
stead of going Democratic, gave Fort
3 plurality, a rather narrow margin TO
be sure, but sufficient to keep the
county in the Republican column.
Every Republican candidate for Free.
holder in Middlesex was elected by the
official returns, so that the five men
constituting the board will keep on
directing county affairs in the remark
ably safe and economic way they have
established, as compared with that OF
the old style board of twenty or more
members.

THE Democratic leaders were SO
confident of carrying the State for
Katzenbach that they shoute d
fraud -, and made bluff of demand
ing recount. After the committee
came together, however, they saw the
futility of contesting the election, and
the Democratic State Committee at
its meeting in Jersey City yesterday
decided that there was no evidence Of
fraud or treachery and has accepted
the result. Frank S. Katzenbach, the
Democratic candidate, attended the
meeting, and said: 81 haven't any

EXCISE WAS AN ISSUE.
A number Of our esteemed cont

A number of our esteemed contem-
pories still contend that the excise
question was not an issue in the re-
cent campaign, despite the figures in
the returns to the contrary. The Es-
sex Democratic leader, Nugent, points
to the Katzenbach majority of less
than 300 and says the result there
"shows the people are against sump-
tuary laws" and that they voted to
have the Bishops law so amended as
to give them a liberal government on
the excise question" This claim,
which represents a truth, no doubt, is
met by the Newark News with the
claim that the election Of Assembly,
men by 1000 indicates that Essex
county's verdict is against an open
Sunday. Thus in Essex county it is
agreed that the excise question was an
important one in the campaign there.
1t was also an issue in Hudson county,
where many Democrats not only voted
for Judge Foru because of his open and
manly advocacy Of the Bishops act,
but voted for Republican legislative
candidates. 1t was decidedly an inn
portant issue in all the seashore re-
sorts where Sunday observance is weak
because IF the money brought to the
municipal till from the liquor and beer
vendors. The saloon interests in At
lantic City, in Long Branch and other
resorts where rum selling so largely
prevails during the seaShore season,
made an organized drive at Judge
Fort, cutting down his vote one-half
in the former city and submerging
him under Democratic majority of
l, 444 in Monmouth county, even Spring
Lake, his summer home going back
on him and it's usual Republican ma
jority. This opposition by the seaside
resorts may be worth remembering
when the Judge becomes Governor
Fort, and is called upon to execute
the law. Yes, the excise question
was an important issue, and the de-
tenders Of the law so understood it
and came out in sufficient strength to
show the Legislature that it must not
be tempered with.-Camden Courier

ABOUT one-half of the $4,000 voters
of Newark voted on the four PROPOSE
tions, for or against an electric light
plant, small school board, increase Of
polcemen's salaries and municipal
wharves. All four were approved by
the voters, the municipal lighting
plant having 1854 majority in its
favor, the others haying from 1900 to
1880 majority. In poll of 25,300
votes, a majority of 1921 declared in
favor of a smaller school board, to be
composed Of nine members, who are to
be appointed. The people of Newark,
Notwithstanding their manifest devo-
tion to the policy of go-as-you-please
on Sunday, are progressive, so far as
they are inclined to let it be known,
but it would have been much more
impressive if the referendum vote had
been at least two-thirds of that cast
at the election of last week. The
minority have room to keep up kick
ing against all the propositions.

THE editor, as is his custom, attend.
ed church services Sunday morning
and listened with interest to the read
ing of the 22d of Luke, where it said
"Then said he unto them, But now,
he that hath purse, let him take it,
and likewise his scrip and he that
hath no sword, let him sell his gar
ment, and buy one"
Also listened to a sermon on the use
of natural means in spiritual life. He
could not but recall the outcome OF
Peters use of the sword, and how he
was told, after slashing off mans ear,
which his Master replaced with an
apology:
Put up again thy sword into hi~
place : for all they that take the SWORD
shall perish with the sword. "
The election results would indicate
that the lesson to Peter may lot be
out of place now. He was the better
man afterward for his experience and
strengthened his brethren, but not by
the use of force.

THE PASSING OF THE BURKEs

After failing to SubStantiate charges
made against Legislative committee
j. Frank Burke, a professional lobby
ist employed by the anti-saloon league,
was debarred from the privileges of the
House of Assembly last winter. He
appealed to the people of several
counties to help him defeat certain
members of the House in order that
he might have a club to hold over the
heads of weakened members when
he went before the Legislature during
its next session. TO help in the work
he imported his brother to tell how
good tigher he was The men select
ed were MesSrs. Buxton, of Morris,
HolcQfnbe, of Hunterdon and Firth,
of Warren. After vigorous cam
paign in which lot of good money
was spent, every man opposed has
been reelected The point is clear.
The Burkes were repudiated by the
Legislature and on appeal, by the peo-
pie. They have no influence for good
and must be rated as back numbers,
ior certainly no sane man would en-
ploy an agent who cannot help his
cause. The temperance work will go
on. but the Burkes will 80 out.

1t seldom falls to mans lot to see

which stands sentinel over The first
burial place Of Washington. The body
was removed from the base of the oak
about seventy-fve years ago. 1t Aey.

1t is said that Washington selected
the place where his body now lies and
left instructions that one day the
change Of sepulcher should be made.
The oak which guarded the first grave
must have been standing for three
centuries. The view from the place is
inspiring enough to llindle the eyes Of
. dead man The view from the new

WHILE Mr.. Katzenbach and his
friends are very much incensed over
the manner in which Bob" Davis
traded off the head Of the Democratic
ticket for votes for his candidate for
Mayor of Jersey City, they have the
consolation of knowing that the Re-
publican machine of Newark played
practically the same trick on Cover
nor-elect Fort. Mr.. Katzenbach car
ried Newark by about 5,132 and the
Republican candidate for member Of
the Board of Works was elected by
1884, which shows a change of more
than 5000 votes against Judge Fort.
Neither Davis nor the Republican
machine in Newark cared a rap about
their respective gubernatorial candi-
dates. Both wanted the local offices
and they deliberately sacrificed their
party's standard-bearers to crafty
their own selfish ends. About six hun
bred Office holders are saved to the
Newark machine by their retention Of
the Board of Works; Davis will have
as many or more offices handed over to
him to fill by his new Mayor in Jersey
City.
In both Newark and Jersey City the
political game is manipulated in an
absolutely cold-blooded manner. Mere
ly sacrificing the party standard bear
er or party principles cuts about the
same figure with them as such tactics
do with Tammany Hall.
Perhaps Mr.. Davis thought he had
done as much as Mr.. katzenbaeh could
expect when he landed him the nom
ination for Governor in September.

New Jersey will observe to the let
ter the mandate of his Constitution
that the Legislature shall provide a
thorough and efficient system of free
public schools for the instruction of
all children in this State between the
ages of 5 and Is years. This has been
interpreted by the State Board of Ed
ucation as an obligation not only to
provide teachers, textbooks and school
buildings, but transportation for pu-
pills whose homes are remote from the
schoolhouses. Accordingly contracts
have been made with railroads, trolley
lines and stage coach owners to trans
port nearly 10000 students from their
homes to school and back for the term
which began last September. 1t is es-
timated that the innovation will cost
the State 100000.

EFFECT OF THE FOOD LAW.
Driving Many Worthless catarrh
Medicines Out OF Existence.

The Pure Food and Drug Law,
which went into effect the first of
January, has already shown the good
that will follow its enforcement.
Many worthless remedies. that
have been advertised for the cure Of
catarrh, a disease that is universal
ly prevalent, have been driven out
OF existence by the Pure Food Law.
The effect of this is to increase
the sale of remedies that are valua-
BILE and that fulfill the provisions Of
the law. Hyomei, for example is
meeting with larger sale than ever
before, and the City Drug store is
still selling 1t under a guarantee that
It will cure catarrh or the money
will be refunded. Hyomei is a scien-
tifc treatment that is recommended
by the best physicians. 1t cures ca.
tarrh without stomach dosing,
through in. . indications that go
right to the am,-ted spots.
BY breathing Hyomei three or four
times daily through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every out.
fit, its medicated, healing air pene'
trates to the most remote parts OF
the nose, throat and lungs, searches
out and kills all catarrhal germs,
