Send Back the Voting Machines.

1.-THE amount thus far expended by the
State in the purchase of voting machines
is about a quarter OF million dollars.
There are ], 227 election precincts IN New
Jersey. Less than one-half Of these are
supplied with voting machines. The price
of the machine is $3.50, and it would cost
about 1914, 900 to equip all the voting pre-
cincts in the State. As the population
grows the number of voting precincts in
creases, and consequently if the voting ma
chine law remains on the statute book the
State will continue to purchase new voting
machines regularly every year for newly
created districts and to replace wornout or
disabled machines. The total cost to the
State within the next five years would
therefore amount to about 81 1000, 600. The
people do not want the machines. Re-
monstrances against their use have been
sent to Trenton from all parts OF the State.
Efforts made by the Rochester contracting
firm that supplies these machinese, and by
the State Voting Machine Commissioners,
to popularize the machines haYe utterly
failed The machine has been tried and
found wanting and the demand is that it
be abolished bill for that purpose was
introduced in the Assembly as the legisla-
pAtC SCSSiOA 1850 WAAcCls Ouu ~ Lb0uC hO
progress. Influences at the State capital
were too strong for such legislation to pre-
vail These influences cannot, however,
long Withstand the popular feeling against
the voting machine, and it will ultimately
be abolished. But why should Newark or
any other municipality be compelled to
use the machines? Why not send them
back to the State after notification to Sec
rotary of State Dickinson that they are not
wanted ?n Newark Star.
The Star voices our sentiments to t.
Not 10 per cent. Of the public favor these
machines-and the fact that ballots are
printed for every poll where the machines
are placed, proves that even those who place
them are not sure they will work when the
polls open They cost $500 each, must be
insured, stored and cared for and the peo-
pie don't want them. What mysterious
power imposes she fraud on tile people

To Be Named New York.

To Be Named New York.
1t is announced from Washington
that the president and the navy de-
partment have reached a decision to
name one of the two 10000 ton bat
tleships authorized by the last session
of congress the New York. The ar
mored cruiser now bearing that name
will be reehristened Saratoga to per-
petuate that name in the navy, the
old historic vessel with that title hav-
ing been condemned and ordered to be
broken up. The other of the two giant
battleships authorized has been named
Delaware. At present there are only
two states in the Union which have
not battleships or armored cruisers
named for them-Utah and North Da-
kota.
Naval Shakeup Begun.
One of the most radical shakeups
in the history of the United States
navy is now reported to be under way
in the department, with especial refer
ence to the personnel of the line on
the battleships which are to take part
IN the forthcoming Pacific cruise. The
purpose is to advance the younger men
to the fighting line and send their ED
ers to the rear, and it is said that of
the eighteen captains who will COM
mand the ships on the long voyage
fourteen will be men younger than the
officers now In command. The orders
relieving the older men were kindly
put, and they were assured that their
transfer to shore duty was in no way
a reflection On their ability.

vester company of Wisconsin pleaded
guilty at Austin, Tex, in the antitrust
suits instituted against it by the state

To Complete Quebec Bridge.
Notwithstanding the collapse Of the
uncompleted south end of the big can
taleyer bridge over the. st. Lawrence
at Quebec, Aug. %, in which seventy
five skilled laborers and engineers
were carried down to their deaths, the
PheniX Bridge company of Phenix-
vile, Pa, announces that the work
will go on and that it will make good
on its contract to complete this
bridge. The Canadian government has
expressed its willingness to give the
company another opportunity. Al
though the precise cause of the dis
aster remains a mystery, 1t became
known that a warning had been sent
by the consulting engineer for the men
to leave the structure, and forty-five
had done so only two days before the
bridge fell.

with brief inscriptions on the four
sides touching salient features of the

According to the Jewish calendar, the
year 566s began last Monday, and it marks
the beginning Of season Of holy days,
being followed on September 10 by Yom
Kippur, the Day Of Antonement, and on
September 90, By succoth, the Feast Of the
Tabernacle. Orthodox Hebrew and Chris
tian, taking their chronology from biblical
sources, agree shat the world is less than
six thousand years old. Science says that
the age Of she world runs into millions Of
years and that man has been on earth for a
period Of from $1,000 years to million
years. But, after all, the point is immate-
rial, except TO ths scientist.

The Matterhorn.,.

Many mountains which long enjoyed
a reputation Of being absolutely un-
climbable are now considered as al
most ordinary excursions. The Mat
terhorn for many years repulsed men
who were among the foremost noun
taineers Of the day. Professor Tyn-
dali and Edward Whymper were foil
ed on more than a dozen occasions.
But on July Is, 1865, with Lord Fran
els Douglas, Hudson and Hadow, Mr..
Whymper eventually reached the sum-
NIT, and it was in descending that the
fatal slip occurred which cost the
lives of his three English companions
as well as of Michel Croz, one of the
most competent of Swiss guides. Now
adays the peak Is constantly assembled
with the help Of guides by tourists
who have no pretensions to be noun
taineers at all.-Dundee Advertiser.

A story of rather an unusual sort
appears in The Red Book Magazine
for October. It is by George Bron-
SON. Howard and bears the title
"The Pawn" Its locale is the Philip
pines, and while the motif of the
story is rather daring, one loses
thought of that in the power of the
narrative and strength" of the sit
uation in which three chief charac.
tiers find themselves Another ex-
cellent story is His Price" by Rem.
A. thomson, while the tale that Ell
lott Flower tells in When Love
Rebelled" gives a new glimpse of lab
or unionism. Grace Sartwell Mason
contributes story entitled "The
Measure of a Man" that sounds a
loud, clear note of optimism, quite
delightful to hear in these pessimistic
times. Other well-known writer's

Lincoln Steffens, In the October

frauds in the course of his story of
Heney:
The call it thes land conscience
but$it is the typical American view
of law. The people out here feel
abouE the land laws only as people
in other parts Of the country feel
about liquor laws and public fran
chises. Since the liquor laws are too
strict, they must be broken Since
YOU cant get a franchise for moth

Gals, bribery is necessary and right.
We've all heard in Oregon shrdlu
We've all heard this sort of talk,
and 50 Heney heard in Oregon.
Since the land laws were drawn to
save the public lands for small peo-
pie who want small holdings, the
big monopolists cannot get big hold
ings without breaking those laws,
debasing themselves and corrupting
public officials and public opinion;
therefore it was in it is, right to do
all these things in Oregon. =

with a detachable awning. 1t is cas-

GRAFT BY THE CUBIC FOOT
Simple Method by Which Pennsylvan-
las Capitol Was Looted of
Millions

In several rooms of the Capitol at
Harrisburg is type of mahogany
citica table S feet long, 4 wide, IL
high. The cost of eacn tah.e to
Sanderson, the contractor was $40
He charged ~ -'at- .a72 q COM

remarkable arS " "-'' is. for
which 5000 ware paid the builder,
and for wifi the stale paid s. nder-
son S90,749.S0, commission of A.
$50 per cent. 1t appears that all
this furniture and much more, was
bought by Sanderson by the piece,
but was sold to the state stby the
foot" at $3.50 a foot. If we now
take the dimensions of the mahog-
any table, which originally cost $40,
and compute its feet by multiplying
its length by it's width, and the re-
suit by its height thus: 4 times
is 80; 2 IL times 80 is 80, we reach
the sum of $1,472, or the price of 80
cubic feet of table paid by Pennsyi-
vania to Sanderson. This gentleman
BY similar multiplications found that
there were IS feet Of backing stand
and SO reached the price of ST.
619.20 for that article. The rostrums
were dealt with in the same cubical
way, as were the hundreds and thous-
ands of other objects that you will
find distributed through the five stor-
les of the enormous building. We
