Defends The Voting Machines

The New Jersey Voting Machine
Commission submitted it's annual re-
port to Governor Stokes and de-
clares that despite some cases of
failure, that the machines have been
more satisfactory than the old-time bal
Iotboxes, to which many more failures
can be attributed. 1t is suggested that
the evils complained of car be oviated
if the existing laws be amended i'll one
or two instances.
1t is suggested that the Secretary OF
State shall distribute voting machines
primarily to cities of the first class, ard
then when these are properly placed
they shall be allotted to cities of the
second class and so on down the line
until every voting precinct i'll the State
is equipped. The contention is made
that the scattering of machines through
out the remote districts of the State has
handicapped the education of the voters
in their use and has so increased the
work of clerks and commissioners that
proper attention has been impossible,
hence many of the failures.
The commissioners also recommend
that County Clerks be held responsible
for the good co ndition of the apparatus
and that the straight voting lever b
done away with, voting, especially
where voters desire to cut tickets, and
would in no wise interfere with the
voting OF a straight ticket by those sc
disposed.
The report and recommendations will
presented to the Legislatures. There
is considerable opposition throughout
the State to the machines.
About $250,000 has been spent by the
State for the mechanical voting appli.
ances.

Powder Trusts Reply
du Points Vice President Says Naval
Officers Patents are not used.


The Powder Trusts side OF the smoke
less powder controversy was heard before
the House Committee on appropriations,
when~J. A. Haskell, vice president of the
DUPONT Powder Company, appeared at a
hearing and replied to allegations that his
company enjoy ed a monopoly of the Gov
ernment's orders, through the possession
OF patents obtained by naval officers and
afterwarq sold by the latter to the trust. :
He said that in 1895 Admiral Converse
and Lieutenant Bernadou took out pat
ents for a certain kind Of smokeless pow
der which they offered the DUPONT COM
pany, but which the latter declined to
purchase. Subsequently the patents were
acquired by the International Smokeless
Powder Company in which the DUPONT
Company at the time had no interest. In
the meantime the DUPONT company, the
Latin & Rand Powder Company aud the
California Powder Works manufactured
s~mokeless powder and furnished it to the
0ONC1lL1CIlG ulAuCL OIoU hCIC
not covered by the Converse -Bernadon
patents, to which manufacture no objec-
ton was made.
When the International Smokeless Pow
der Company was acquired by the du-
Pont company in 1903 1904, the Converse
Bernodou patents became the property
of the latter company. Since then the
dupont company had continued to fur
nish the Government with smokeless
powder, but the specifications of the Con-
verse ernadon patents were not used by
the company in its manufacture.
In reply to the charge that foreign ma
tions had been furnished with informa-
ton concerning the formula employed in
the manufacture Of smokeless powder fol-
the Government, Mr.. Haskell said that il
was sufficient to say that patents were
matters of public record, and, therefore,
could not be kept secret.

The PEOPLES Lobby

The Peoples Lobby of New Jersey
is an organized body which will have
its representatives present at the SEES
lnioss of the Legislature. Among the Cd
ps1SIEsought is the enactment of legisla-
ton which will establish the "Oregon''
system which allows a voter to indicate
on his ballot, his choice for United
States Senator. This is the nearest APP
proach to a direct vote for U. S. Sena-
tor which the people of a State can have
under the present U. S. constitution.
Other ends sought are constitutional
amendments providing for an elective
Judiciary and prosecutors. A compeGi
tive civil service for State and munich
pal employees. direct nominations and
the adjustment of delegate conventions.
The advisory initiative and referendum
and a standing rule in both Houses
that all committees shall report, and an
open vote shall be had, on all bills in
troduced.

Initiative and Referendum

The initiative and referendum is
growing in public favor. In his mes
sage TO the Minneapolis legislature, Gov
ernor johnson said: II would call your
attention to the merits of the advisory
initiative and ~inferendum. This permits
the people of a state, country, city, viii
lage Or town to express their views upon
questions affection their organization
and is fast gaining ground upon the
theory that the duly elected officers are
the servants of the people who elected
them and will be guided by the express.
ed views of a majority. The advisory
initiative and referendum is but a step
Farther than the right of petition, and
is not binding upon their officers. The
enactment of a law providing for an adj
visory initiative and referendum can be
ac complished without a constitutional
amendment, and | am firmly Of the
opinion that such legislation is desira-
BILE. There can be, | am sure, no valid
reason against the submission to the
people of a proposed constitutional am
endment providing for a direct initia.
tive and referendum. This would give
~5Ae people a n opportunity to vote on
the question whether or not they want
the right to instruct their representa-
tvs and also the further right to pass
upon the laws enacted by their legisla-
ture. But whether or not you would
care to go SO far in this direction, l
would urge your consideration of a
plan for an advisory initiative and re-
ferendum,"
The voters of Salem county did not
take kindly to the initiative and referen
} dunn candidate last fall, but it is seen
by the above that the principles ar
growing. ..a

Apple King Stirs Farmers
Frank SOper Sells a Barrel of Pick
ed Fruit for S2A


ed Fruit for $24.
Magnolia Del. Feb. 2.-It is reported
to-day that Frank NJ. Soper, the Della
ware apple king, who grew 5000 bushels
of fine apples during 1906 and recently
took new awards at the exhibit of the
Peninsula Horticultural Society ia Do
yer, has established a new record that Is
simply electrifying the farmers and fruit
growers of lower Delaware. They are
amazed at this remarkable mans achieve
ments.
Mr.. Soper has just offered for sale a
picked barrel Of his finest winter apple,
on which he has taken prize after prize
and of which he has several hundred bar
rels in cold storage. The barrel of choice
ones was promptly sold at $24.
Consequently everybody wants to grow
apples, especially the Soper variety
which have given Delaware a place III
the apple market of the world, and par
ticularly in England and Germany, to
which countries they can be and are
easily shipped.
Twenty-three years ago, when Mr.,
Soper moved on his present farm, it was
poor and their was little growing. but
he dug and delved for several years and
finally learned that it would grow APP
pies. He got con the job" at once, went
to colleges and Institutes, and sent his
boy to Delaware College and Cornell. To
add to his own hardy pluck and energy,
his son came along with all the college
formulate for spraying, killing insects and
fungus and making healthy the trees,
and found and rosy apples. They have
already made a fortune.
