NEwARK's NEW SCHOOL BOARD.

Newark's Mayors will now be judged
to great extent by the character of
their appointments to the School
Board, and their administrations will
likewise be judged by the doings of
the appointive boards. There are to
be nine commissioners. and every
Mayor will have the appointment of
six commissioners, or two-thirds of the
board, so the board will be well under
control OF the Mayor. If he doesn't
like the actions of a commissioner
whose term expires during the Mayor
atty term he can appoint another man
in the commissioner place. IL the
people do not approve of the Mayors
appointments they will have their
remedy in the election of another
Mayor.
Mismanagement of the schools has
cost the municipality as much money
wasted as would have provided all the
accommodations now needed for ele-
mentary education. Nine good men
and true who shall devote themselves
to public school affairs and administer
the same in business ways will quickly
command the confidence of taxpayers
to the extent of getting all the appro-
priations that may be needed to place
Newarks schools on plane of the
highest efficiency. When the taxpayers
know that their money is not being
extravagantly spent and that none OF
it is improperly diverted into private
pockets they have no complaint to
make about school expenditures.

Even when the simplest proposition
is submitted to the voter to be voted
ON with the voting machine there is
confusion and miscarriage of votes.
Witness the recent election at Hart
ford, Conn, on constitutional amend
ment.
The only requirement was that the
voter should vote yes or no by operat-
ing one lever. All the other parts of
the machine were locked to prevent the
other levers from recording. But a
great many voters lost their votes be-
cause they became confused or could
not understand the mechanism. and
worked the wrong lever without maxi
ing any record of their votes. And
these voters were not green immigrants
either

adapted to the use of the least intelli-
gent class, so that no class shall be

of suffrage. Then all voters will Le on
an equality at the polls A mechanical
device, however simply constructed,
that is to be operated by the voter, is
an obstruction to voting.
In other States besides New Jersey
where the machines are in use, they
were at first favored as a novelty, but
there is now a steadily growing objec-
ton to them. In Massachusetts the
Supreme Court has declared them ille-
gal. inasmpch as they destroy the Sc
crecy of the ballot. No doubt the court
would have adjudicated the same way
on the points that the voting machine
is discriminating device, and that il
is an obstacle to free expression Of
the popular will.

If ever Miss Farrar sneered to them OF the
barbarous inappreciation of American au-

there Is no American audience In when

the true concord of Austrin--all these and

AN ELECTION RECOUNT.

The State Election Board will meet
in Trenton next week to canvass the
returns of the election for Governor
The duties of the board are ministerial.
The face of the returns will be ac-
cepted, and the candidate who is shown
to have polled the highest number of
votes in the State will be declared
elected.
Through its chairman. Mr.. Hudspeth,
the Democratic State Committee al
leges that the count of the vote in the
election has been tampered with and
that Frank S. Katzenbach. the Demo-
cratic candidate. was really the choice
of majority of the voters of the State
in Tuesdays election. Mr.. Hudspeth
IN a published statement aff1rms his
belief that enough votes had been mis-
counted to have elected his party can
didate. A recount of the vote cast is
demanded
Chairman Hudspeth promises to be
more specific in a later public state
ment He bases his belief upon an
analysis of the vote outside of Hudson
County, showing Democratic gains,
which, in the judgment of Mr. Hud-
speth, were enough to elect Mr.. Katz-
enbach. The courts will, of course. re-
quire some definite evidence of
fraudulent count before ordering re-
count, and If Chairman Hudspeth is en-
abled to furnish the evidence a recount
cannot he denied. Both Republicans
and Democrats would demand il, at
whatever public cost.
It would be extraordinary Indeed if
upwards of five thousand votes cast in
Tuesdays election for Nr. Katzenbaoh
should have been coynted for Mr.. Fort,
and that. too with the safeguards and
ckfscks thai attend the operation of
voting and counting the vote. 1t hardly
seems credible that such wholesale
fraudulent count could be done without
detection and exposure and it could not
be done anywhere except, possibly
in Hudson County. But if there is
any good basis of truth in Chairman
Hudspeths statement nobody will say
nay to recount, and no doubt Judge
Fort himself would promptly demand
one.

LEGALITY or THE MAoHINE.

Machine voting is unconstitutional" !"
ing charge of illegal voting against
man who had voted on voting
machne. II cannot hold a man who
voted on a machine" the judge added.
If illegal voting is not criminal when
the voting machine is used, there can
be no check on fraudulent voting. II
the voting machine is to be retained,
it is high time that the constitution
ality of this unpopular method of vot-
ing should be determined by decision
of the courts.
1t is clearly against public policy
to have two separate systems of vot-
ing in this State--in one district the
ballot-box and in another district the
voting machine. That is undeniable.
The corcllary is that the State should
place the machines in all the districts
of the State or take them out of the
districts in which they have been
placed.
To purchase the additional machines
would take nearly all that Is left of
the available State treasury surplus
To abolish the machines would save
their cost, and also relieve the
municipalities of the large expense
they are compelled to bear. But before
the Legislature makes another big ap-
preparation let the courts pass upon
the legality of the machines. The
question need go no further than the
Supreme Court to decide the States

THE DOORS OF rwo CITIES.

The Jersey City Journal, in comment
ing on the public dock Improvement
project adopted by Newark, points out
that by this Improvement, and other
projected large enterprises. the back
door of Jersey City will soon be as i'm
portant as its present front door on the
Hudson. 1t Rfght be added that Jersey
City should endeavor to acquire some
ownership at her back door, which is
Newark's front door, and not submit to
haEe all her frontage on the Hacken-
sack River and the bay go into the
hands of foreign corporations, the same
as Jersey City's front door is now.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is doing
great work in the improvement of the
HackensaclS meadows, and other COM
panies are filling in large sections. The
tunnel terminus at Homestead is con-
tributlng'to the transformation Of the
meadows and their utilization fer
manufacturing and commercial enter
prise. Not only Newark and Jersey
City. but all the towns within a wide
radius in this State, will be greatly
benefited. But the development of a
public dock system and the canaliza-
ton of the Newark meadows will give
to Newark a supreme advantage. 1t
will be the beginning of the Greater

No Comfort for bryan.

There is no comfort for Mr.. Bryan any
where. He did not visit either Maryland
or New Jersey and hence does not share
in his party's performances there. He gave
Tammany no assistance during his visit to
New York. He declined to go to Massachu-
setts, where George Fred Williams longed
for his eloquent presence. He spent four
days on the stump in Kentucky ana ao-
dressed enormous crowds, but, as We see,
made no votes for the Democratic ticket.
He toured his own State as the campaign
closed. but the Republicans, as for some
years, have carried it.
Mr.. Bryan is still an ATTRACTION but
not a vote-getter. The people do not vote
as they listen. The light y kindly and
brilliant, but 1t does not lead amid the
encircIing gloom.-Washlngton Star.
