A rARc1cAI R-ErrarNhum.

Some better method of a referendum
or reject must be obtained. 1t is farrell
cal to thrust upon the electorate four
important matters of public policy to
be voted on in a State and municipal
election. If all the voters of Newark
were students of public affairs this
would be too much of a surfeit for
them in one election.
There is public sentiment that is
moi intelligent and discerning. No
mans judgment in a matter is worth
anything unless he shall have given the
matter some thought n study. The

PREVENTING INDEPENDENT VOTING

Independent voting" says the Hud-
in those sections where <there are no
machines; where each voter gets his
ballot at home in advance, cuts and
pastes it to suit himself and goes to
the polls with 1t In his inside vest
pocket"
The Observer refers to the voting in
Jersey City last Tuesday, when. al
though there was a large number of
split tickets voted in precincts in which
ballot-boxes were used, only seven
split tickets were voted in precincts
having voting machines, showing that
the voter voted either his own party
ticket entire or the whole opposition
ticket because he could not operate the
machine or did not want the click of
the machine to betray his split vote
A continuance to discourage and pre-
vent independent voting, while at The
same time practically disfranchising
many voters. is a curious one for a
Legislature to infict on the people.
1t is significant, too, that the voting
machine was imposed on the State by
the same influences that procured the
abolition of separate municipal cleo
tions in order to prevent independent
voting.

The Trenton Times makes the charge
of organization treachery to Judge Fort
in Newark. The Times shows that
while Katzenbach carried Newark by

Board of Works got a plurality of 1.1s4,
a change of more than 5000 votes.

AN Mvss Th0A TON OF THE HUDSON COUNTY VOTE IS
NECESSARY

IT'S well that we should have an investigation OF the Hud-
son County vote. Most of us are satisfied that the voting and
counting elsewhere were fairly honest and accurate, but there
are few intelligent persons who can conscientously say that
about Hudson County, and particularly about Jersey City. The
surface indications point to collision and fraud. Conditions IN
Hudson all pointed that way, and the police returns about mid
night Tuesday indicated a Katzenbach plurality in the county OF
10000 Possibly the slump was brought about in a lawful
manner by the Dickinson Davis combination, but there are ra-
sons for doubling this.

Were it not that Governor Stokes is such a truly good
and pious young man some folks might be tempted to mix
his name into the Dickinson Davis combination. In this case
happens to be a coincidence that has sinister appearances,
but really doesn't mean what it appears to do. To make the
Dickinson Davis deal effective, it was necessary to have the
Ripper bill become a law so as to retire all the Pagan ap-
pontees at the expiration of the Mayors term. Without APP
preciating the significance of the measure or its bearing or the
anti Pagan deal, the Governor signed the measure last week.
All of which only goes to show how deceptive appearances
may be. And how lucky it is for Governor Stokes that we all
know he wouldn't be a party to anv such dirty game.

There is a possibility that the cleo
trio chair newly installed at the
State prison will have five MUIR
derer victims on the same day of
the we k of December 16. Two OF
the criminals are negroes and three
are Italians, and their crimes admit of
no plea of leniency. They were afro
cious. Five executions In n day will
doubtless stir up the anemic sentiment
that has more sympathy for the MUIR
derer than for the murderer's victim,
but the spectacle will have all the de-
terrent effect that can be desired.

What we must keep in mind is the fact that the election
officers in Jersey City are adherents of Dickinson and Davis.
We saw what some of them were capable of doing at the
primary election, and it confirmed the general impression as to
their desperate reckesness to produce the results desired by
their bosses, regardless of consequences.
We all remember what followed another freak election in
Hudson County. The recollection of the indictments, trials,
convictions and States prison sentences may, however. have
grown hazy among the election artists in Jersey City, with whom
politics is a business-a means of livelihood. If they have

The example of this hale old walker Is
in many respects most admirable. Natur-
ally. the ordinary citizen discerns no util-
ity In a straightaway walk of 1000 miles
for himself. AS a spectacle, however, such
a walk is inspiring. Americans do not
walk enough. The fault may be ascribed
to l%aziness, or to exactly the opposite. To
take a long walk for pleasure is all but
unknown. Going or coming between home
and office, the business man will brave the
crowd of the rush-hour car to save a few
minutes, which are of small value COM

there has been rascalty the rascals may have been more than

that all the political machines and all the politicians in the
