wATCH THE POLLS.

The revelation of extensive registra-
ton frauds in Newark is an unpleasant
one, and the question naturally arises
who hired the criminals; and who did
this work. The answer may be made
that in most cases the criminals regis
tered Of their own motion, with the
expectation Of making a sale of their
votes on election day. BY registering
in a dozen places a repeater can have
as many chances for the sale of a
vote. There are groups of 'profes-
sional" repeaters who go the rounds
every year, and many of them register
in different cities. No doubt, some of
the scoundrels registered in Newark
for this election came from New York,
where they are registered as often as
practicable.
The Fourth Ward is a ward of cheap
lodging-houses, and these places fur
nish the most convenient addresses for
the repeater, who belongs to the
lodging-house class. Investigation has
shown that 162 out of 2S5 names regis
tered in one district are fraudulent. In
two other districts 1853 fraudulent reg
istrations were found. Statements
made by sheriff's officers in regard to
false registration are almost unbeliev-
able.
To every man who attempts today
to vote fraudulently the full extent of
the law should be given. There should
be no cleinency in any case. Newark
must pc made too hot for these
wretches. Extra vigilance should be
exercised by watchers at the polls
after nightfall, for 1t is then that the
repeater Is boldest. We want al
honest election, and we do not want
the win of the honest majority to be
defeated by a set of degraded scoun-
drels, who go about making opportuni-
ties to sell their fraudulent votes.

LABOR LENDING TO Capital.

An incident in Chicago on Saturday
illustrates, first, the business value of
confidence. and, second, the practice
ability of labor helping out capital in
financial transactions. Labor COM
mands an enormous amount of capital
in this country and it is tied up in diff
ferent ways. Much Of It, in the shape
of savings bank deposits. belongs to
active capital, but a vast amount is in-
active. On Saturday a number of EN-
ployees of Henry G. Dorson. a Chicago
manufactures, surprised him by an
offer of $4,000 in currency to carry him
through for two weeks. He was as
sured that if he needed any more
money they would furnish it. We can
not recall any similar case in the past
and it is full of suggestions. If the re-
lations of capital and labor engaged in
industrial enterprise could be estab-
lished on such a basis both interests
would be as solid as the rock of Gibral-
tar.

nor.
As men in touch with the public pulse
they must have heard of the great change
in public sentiment that is manifest In
almost every section Of the State. They
must have heard that while large and en-
enthusiastic crowds have greeted Mr.. Fort
still greater assemblages have cheered for
Mr.. Katzenbach in every place that the
latter has followed the former. They must
also have heard of the dire things that are
happening in the populous centres, where
heretofore solidly Republican districts are
said to be doubtful this year. And also
must they ave noted the detection of
many influential newspapers that invari-
ably supported Republication.
All these things help make up what is
known as popular sentiment, and OF
course, is the result of cause. But we are
past the point where we are concerned
with reason. That will do very well for a
post-election dissertation. The point is that
all these things argue most strongly for
the election of Frank s. Katzenbach, jr.
Impartial judges now concede that his cleo
ton as Governor is certain.

PAPERS ON CAMPAIGN
Fort VIII wins
[From the Camden Courier, Rep.l

[From the Camden Courier, Rep.l
The Republican State Committee had
a meeting in Newark. at which there was
an exchange of the views of the members
as to the probable majoritie$ in their re-
spective counties. When the figures
given were totalled the election of
Judge Fort by a majority Of 5000 was
indicated. 1t must be admitted that the
figures given in a majority Of ountie are
very conservative, and that a larger plu-
rality than tina indicated is probable. CAM
den County is pledged to provide 1000
plurality, and the pledge can be more than
fulfilled If every Republican voter who
wants good government can be brought to
the polls. That is the task for which the
district executive committees are appoint
ed, and the value Of these accessories of
party organization will be- determined by
the energy they display in getting out the
vote on Tuesday. There has been in sew
eral of the counties unwonted apathy re-
garding the coming election, for what
reason is not apparent, If 1t Is not because
Of a feeling of contentment with the exist
ing situation. This feeling should be eradi-
Gated at once wherever 1t is manifest, for
there is no disputing the fact that the
political enemy is counting largely upon
it to pull its ticket through. Ward, bor-5
ough and township committees should
spare neither time nor effort In getting
legal voters to the polls.

FOR A PUBLIC DOCK SYSTEM.

Newark's greatest opportunity for
municipal ownership is presented to-
day in the proposition to construct a
public dock system on Newark Bay
and eventually pierce the Newark
meadows with a ship canal to be owned
by Newark. 1t is an opportunity rare
ly given to the people of a municipality
and 1T is that may never occur
again for Newark.
Our city is practically situated on
the great harbor Of New York. but we
are shut off from the enormous benefits
of that harbor by lack of a short
stretch of deep-water navigation. We
have a long water frontage that is
now of no use because it cannot be
approached and is entirely u~nimproved.
There is a large expanse of meadows.
also now useless and a nuisance, that
can be made priceless for commercial
and industrial purposes.
Until this year there seemed no hope
that Newark would be enabled to grasp
the opportunity now presented. The
same private greed that appropriated
all the street franchises and secured
all the choicest of the riparian lands
appeared too formidable an obstacle
for the city to overcome. 1t is some
thing of a marvel hat this ever-watch-
greed was off it's guard when the
dock bill a passed. 1t is awake and
alert now to defeat the adoption of the
bill at the polls today.
The magnificent public dock system
of New York city is her most precious
heritage. The annual income of mil
lions obtained in rentals and leases is
the least part of it's value to the city.
Jersey City IN the west bank of the
Hudson owns nothing. She is almost
hemmed in by the foreign
corporations that own the water front.
Which example shall Newark follow,
that Of New York or t'at of Jersey
City? The voters nswer that
question at the polls tcaay.

A RusrNEss scHooL BOARD.

Since the time. several years ago,
when the voters of Newark rejected
the plan for a small appointive school
board, experience has taught some les
sons. The unwieldy elective board Of
thirty members has continued to show
its incapacity and its subsection to
political partisanship, and public school
interests have suffered.
1t is time for common sense to die
tate a business organization for the
school board, and business methods in
the administration of the affairs of the
public schools The School Board
should be taken out of control of ward
politicians.
Our schools are at least of equal i'm
portance to the fire and police and
street departments, and these are no
longer at the mercy of ward politics.
School government can be still better
placed. No Mayor would dare to ap-
point an INIT man to a School Board,
and Newark does not choose that kind
Of Mayors.

NEwARK,s CLAIM no WATER.

According to a legal opinion given by
Attorney-Ge General McCarter to the
Potable Water Commission the legis-
lative act creating the commission
cannot be construed to limit Newark's
present ownership of ~Pequannock
water to the amount of consumption at
the date when the act went into effect.
Mr.. McCarter reads the act as confirm
ing the city's ownership of the 10000, 900
gallons daily of water nominated in the
contract with the East Jersey Water
Company.
The Attorney-G General makes a clear
statement. and evidently the lawyers
who interpreted the act as limiting
Newark's ownership to about $4,000. 900
gallons daily. the present rate of con-
sumption. read the act c~arelessly.
1t will be remembered that the orig
inal contract with the East Jersey
Water Company called for 50,0 0o. 00C
gallons daily; that a test showed that
the single PIP laid by the East Jersey
Water Company was of a capacity only
of $4,000, 900 gallons, and that to carry
out the contract the company was COM
PEELED to lay a second pipe of equal
capacity, assuring a maximum supply
Of 7o,0O0.0O0 gallons daily. Since the
pipes were laid the city has obtained
additional watershed and storage capac-
ity, and having purchased all the water
rights in the P~equannock, 1t is as much
entitled to the 10000, 900 gallons as to
the 5O,o 100000 gallons.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER s. 1917.
ON THE EVE OF THE ELECTION.

In a few hours the general results
OF the State election will be known.
Until the election returns show majori-
ties either way nothing can be known,
and all predictions are based on mere
conjecture.
That the election will be close on the
State ticket there can be little doubt.
The small Republican plurality last
year. under conditions similar to those
that prevail this year. would Indicate
that. Unless there is a strong re-
action from the political drift in East
Jersey in 1906. the Republicans cannot
score a big plurality. Unless that drift
has become more decided the Demo-
Gratis need expect only a modest plu-
rality.
But there are other possible factors
this year. Apathy is one, and proba-
bly, the Republicans would suffer most
from loss of votes from that cause.
Whether there is any anti-Roosevelt
sentiment Of any account among Re-
publican commuters is also a conun-
drum to be solved in the returns from
The suburban places. The Democrats
on the other hand have to face a pos
slble loss In country districts, and espe-
cially in the highland counties.
Money is a potent factor in an cleo
ton. In this campaign there appears
to have been no improper use of money.
The necessary campaign expenses have
beer large for both organizations, and
probably the restricted use of money
may account for much of the apparent
apathy. The political mare that has
been kept to her PAGES by a liberal
money diet cannot be expected to keep
up the same gait on a meagre allow
ance But a clean campaign, If rounded
out by a clean election, VIII be a credit
TO the State and establish a new and
wholesome precedent.

How many politicians, amateur or professional, take to
heart the real lesson of a political campaign The trouble is
that most of them don't think, or if they do the thinking
period comes too late. If they would watch a campaign from
beginning to end for the purpose of learning something they
couldn't help realizing the inestimabe value of honesty and
straightforward dealing. The man who is square, courageous
and sincere has nothing to apologize for. But watch the other
kind of fellow squirming and lodging and explaining and never
knowing when new charges or allegations will bump up against
him
of men are assailed by partisan raucor when they become can
didates for public Office. But if they have nothing to be
ashamed of but mistakes honestly made they have little difficulty
in vindicating themselves. The man who conscientiously tries
to do right, eliminating prejudices and disregarding bosses,
doesn't have to worry much unless he happens to be the kind
of individual who is constantly doing the right thing at the
wrong moment. Then he becomes tresome and we call him

The possibility of excise legislation during the session begin
ming next January is practically nil. Republicans will control
the Senate, in any case, and they won't permit the Bishops
bill to be repealed or modified in the slightest degree. And
the Democratic politicians are perfectly willing to have that kept
open a an issue for future use.
Violations of the liqud law will continue to be possible only
where the municipal officials and the Sheriff acquiesce-that is,
unless the next Legislature enats a Jury Commission bill, which is
not likely. Assuming that matters stand as they are 1t will be
for the people of each county a case of electing the kind of
Sheriff that they want-one who enforces the law like Sheriff
Sommer of Essex, " one who holds lightly his oath of office.
