EDITORIAL COMMENT.
. Colby Bills Beaten.

II is significant that, coincident
with the scheme to do away with
voting machines, the senate should
defeat two of the corrupt practices
acts fathered by Senator Colby, which
figured prominently in the campaign
of last fall. Both wer9 needed amend
ments to the primary law, and were
emphatically demanded by the peo-
pie.
The first provided rule that reg
istry boards should act in determin-
ing the residence of men entitled to
vote, in order to strike at the very
root of election fraud and political
corruption. Such a law would put a
stop to the illegal registration of
fioaters and repeaters, but the poll
ticians would not stand for anything
of that kind, so the Colby bill was
defeated.
If law was passed making it pas
sible TO stop the Illegal registration
of floaters and repeaters, there are
a lot of politicians in New Jersey who
would have to go out of business. Un-
der the present system they can easily
deliver the goods in return for the
Doodle handed out by the bosses. In
this city ward heelers boast openly
that they sometimes vote in half Il
dozen different places at primary elec-
tions. 1t is no secret that probably
fifty per cent. of the primary registra-
ton in Paterson is illegal. The
Guardian has repeatedly exposed
where from 25 to 100 voters were
falsely registered from single ad-
dress in one district.
Senator Colby tried to stop this
fraud In response to the demands OF
the honest voters. His bill would
have made it possible to stop 1t, but
the politicians, who depend upon the
fioaters and repeaters to thrwart the
will of honest citizens, would not per-
NIT the bill to pass, so 1t was defeat
ed in the senate.
The senate also defeated the Colby
bill providing that members OF the
county committee should be elected
by the voters at the primaries, in
stead of being selected by the pollti-
cal bosses. This bill was demanded
by the people, but 1t would hurt the
politicians. so 1t was beaten. .--Pater-
son Guardian.

Some kind of an excuse has been
advanced for every accident that has
thus far occurred. A broken rail,
open switch, wrong signal, high speed
or something of the sort. Just how
the blame can be fixed for the Me-
tuchen affair remains to be seen. AS
both the engineer and fireman are
dead they cannot tell the condition of
the engine just previous to the ex-
plosion. There is reason to believe
that it was short of water and the
boiler became over-heated. This
may never be known. The only re-
suit of the affair thus far positively
known is that the accident demon
strates another manner in which the
American railroads can uphold their
regulations for accidents.

The Direc, Primary BuI.

Although the amended direct pri-
mary bill, introduced by Senator Col
by, will, according to promise, be
considered on second reading next
week, the republican leaders in the
senate are preparing to seal its doom.
and still with the hope of escaping
criticism for their course. The plan
under way was revealed In the senate
yesterday afternoon. when a resolu-
tion was passed providing for the APP
pointment of committee of three
senators to investigate the existing
methods of election in this state. This
is a familiar method of escaping re-
sponsibility for the defeat of meritor-
fous measures that are not desired by
the politicians, but 1t ought not to
work in this case. The Colby bill
was drapted by special commission
that had made thorough study of
the whole matter. Since the measure
was drafted some defects have been
found In it, but these have been rem
edied by the amendments offered by
Senator Colby II ought. therefore.

+ its, instead Of being killed on the pre-.
tense that the subject needs to be I'M

SNOW HANDLED WELL.

The street department has done
good work this winter in handling
the numerous snow storms. True,
we have not had a great corps of
white wings cleaning off our bust
ness streets from curb to curb, but
we have had the crossings cleared
and the snow has been carted away
from the business section of the city
in manner never before attempted.
Yesterday afternoon the entire
square at the junction of State and
Smith streets was as dry as on a
summers day. There was no wad-
ing through slush and mud as used
to be the custom when the postoffice
was In its old location. This is good
work and is appreciated by the citi-
zens.

sHIpYARD AT ToTTENvILLE.

1t is with great deal of pleasure
that we note that Lewis Nixon will
probably establish his shipyard at
Tottenville. OF course we would pre-
fer it to be on this side of the sound,
but If 1t Is not to be here, Tottenville
is the next best place. Although in
different states, the two places are
very closely connected both in bust
ness and social affairs and "a large
shipyard at Tottenvllle is bound to
benefit this city.

get in touch with the good people in
the state of Oregon or with any of the
six states in the union that have
adopted the initiative and referend-
um. They are all thriving under the
system.
There are 1O7 members of the next
House of Representatives who are
pledged to support bills for the es-
tablishment of the system nationally.
The people of Delaware, last fall,
adopted an initiative and referend-
um law by vote of s to l and the
legislatures in Massachusetts and in
Maine will adopt such laws this year,
while the same thing is being seri-
ously considered by the Pennsylvania
Legislature.
We are afraid that the Record is
devoting so much of its time in an
effort to bring Long Branch up to
date that it is getting behind the
times in other matters. Voting ma
chimes, initiative and referendum and
the like are twentieth century ideas.
We trust our Long Branch contempor-
ary will not join the ranks of the
has-beens altogether.

TUESDAY, MARCH 12.
MORE CHARTER GETTING.

Now we have Newark agitating a
new city charter. The common coun-
ell there has authorized the mayor
10 appoint commission to revise the
present charter and bring it more up
to-date, and in keeping with the
progress of the city. Newark is a
city of the first class and therefore
Perth Amboy is not directly concern
ed. 1t shows, however, that the char
ter idea is not dead.
Down in Bridgeton which, by the
way. Is in the same class with Perth
Amboy, the citizens recently held a
mass meeting and heartily endorsed
the proposed new charter which was
prepared by the commission named
for the purpose several months ago.
A bill will be drawn up at once and
an effort will be made to have 1t
passed during the present session of
the legislature.
A noticeable thing about all this
charter getting is that the cities do
so In order to bring their local gov
ernment up to modern requirements.
Why does not Perth Amboy get in
line?

President Roosevelt as Rough Rid
er holding his we'll known big stick
On the stick were q number of not
ches labeled as follows:
Rate bill.
Pure food bill.

Federal criminal law bill
Employers liability bill.

many cases he seemed doomed to
crushing defeat. Yet in every in

have gained 1t.
Roosevelt has differed with con-

did. He has been more independent
