COMMENTING on the selection of grand
juries the Nesoark Nesos says there is a
movement on foot to return to the old
system of Jury commission and suggests
as follows:
eff the people would elect honest, hon
orable. courageous. conscientious sheriffs
there would be no need of a jury commits
sion law. But the people can't be trusted
to elect such sheriffs and the sheriffs
generally elected can't be trusted to draw
proper grand jurors and petit jurors.
Blunt as such truth may be, it is the
truth, nevertheless. and it applies SO gen.
orally that public sentiment seems to
strongly favor depriving the sheriffs of
this highly important and responsible duty.
''The sheriffs are themselves to blame,
yet they are not the only ones. The local
politicians, bosses and machine men are
as deep in the mud as the sherifts are In
the mire. They pick ont nominate and

SoMR uneasiness has been created by the
statement that the post Office authorities
had discovered an internal machine ad-
dressed to Governor Fort and the report
stated that there was enough explosive
matter In the package to do great damage
to the person who handled it. The ad-
dress on the package was such as to cause
suspicion and the post Office people In
Philadelphia took steps to halt the parcel
on its way. Carefully examining it the
authorities satisfied themselves as to the
dangerous nature of the package and de-
stroyed its evil contents. The first thought
was that the sender was some one who is
greatly incensed at the action of the
Governor in the Atlantic City crusade,
but the general impression is that the
work was that of crank. The least con-
cerned over the affair is the Governor,
and he probably has little to fear from
further acts of this kind. The great mis-
take was that the postal authorities should
have allowed any information of the af-
fair to leak out.

THE question of disposal of the sewage
at the county institutions at New Lisbon
has not been treated in a manner consist
ent with the gravity of the situation.
The matter was referred to a committee
which will probably take its own time In
giving this subject consideration. In the
meantime the sewage will come on down
the stream just the same. The represent
atives of the State Board of Health, who
was here last week, said the Mount Holly
Water Company had ample power to have
pollution of the stream discontinued but
there does not seem to be need for drastic
measures. The Board of Freeholders owe
1t to the people of the county to have this
grave situation cleared, and the subject
should not be allowed to rest for two or
three months. Prompt action is a neces-
sity, and the authorities should not wait
to be forced to do what is known to be the
correct thing.
