ade between 1900 and 1905. But new conditions have recently
arisen to powerfully affect population growth. In the five years
between 1910 and 1915, when the next State census will be held.
Newark will have the benefit of the Hudson river tunnels and of
the electric rapid transit soon to be introduced by the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company. These factors will immensely stimu
late the movement of population from New York to Newark and
it's suburbs. In 1915 the population increase for the half decade
is likely to equal the entire increase for the last census decade.
This will considerably shorten the time limit for our present water
supply, and we may face an emergency a year or two before the
time fixed upon by the city engineer for the daily consumption to
equal the daily supply of water, Much must be done, too, before
a new supply is made available. Water rights are to be obtained,
land purchases made, with delay in examining titles and prob
ably in condemnation proceedings; reservoirs must be built, pipes
Laid and vegetation cleared away. The Board of Works has wisely
enough taken time by the forelock in going to the Wanaque for a
new supply.

THE VOTING MACHINE
STANDS

more than onehalf the voting population of the State. There are
nearly thirteen hundred election districts in New Jersey, of which.
number less than a third are equipped with voting machines.
Under the law these special elections can be held only in the voting
machine districts. In all but four of the districts that have been
permitted to vote the machine has been cast out. The last dis
aster for the machine occurred on Tuesday in Mercer county,
where sixteen districts, of which fifteen are in Trenton, repudated
the device by an overwhelming popular vote. But for official in
fuences and voting machine trust methods the affirmative vote in
Trenton would have been hardly discernible. In Hopewell town
ship, outside of Trenton, only one vote was given to the machine,
while fftyfour votes were in opposition. This election should
suffice to silence the silly newspaper advocates of the worst sys-
TEN of voting that has ever been devised, and also to convince
legislators that they can no longer safely trife with the expressed
wishes of the people for the repeal of the a%bominable law infict
ing the voting machine upon the State.

"one of the greatest things in the world is to keep
in harmony with yourself-keep in tune. You will notice
that it Is easy to get a piano, or any instrument, out
of tune. So it is with the human body, and one of the
easiest ways of getting out of tune is to let other people
worry you. The business world is full of this and every
day you read of some business man going off the handle
simply because he is out of tune.
TUNE is system.
when you get yourself and your business down to
a, systematic basis you are in harmony and every
thing in the great big world works with you, but when
you are out of harmony you have everything working
against you. You notice places of business usually open
the day at the same hour, week in and week out, and
yet, after the stores are opened, most everything starts
eff on an inharmonious basis.

sport into the world. This generation originated the bicycle race
and motorcar race, and we inherited the horse race and Yacht
race and other races and contests from former generations, but
greater than them all will be the airship race when it becomes
included in the program of popular sports. Not every man can
buy and support an aeroplane, but, then, too, only the few can
maintain fast horses or yachts or racing automobiles. Racing in
the air is perilous, but so, also, is racing in an automobile, and
your true sportsman never stopped at peril.
