BOARDS OF EDUCATION throughout the
state are considerably exercised about
law passed by the recent Legislature, rela-
tive to tenure of office of school teachers.
This act. which takes effect on September
1st next, provides that teachers cannot be
discharged except upon the ground of in
competency, and then only after charges
have been preferred and hearing held
The reason for the passage of this bill Is
not clear. It should be welcomed by the
lazy or incompetent teachers, who now
will be quite secure in their positions. 1t
must be fragrant case, indeed. Of incom
potency before any school board will be
be willing to prefer charges. The bright
and competent teachers receive no benefit
from the act; they have no difficulty to
hold their positions or to secure new ones.
In one city. it is reported. the services OF
q number of teachers will be dispensed
with at the close of the present term
The school board believes those teachers,
who are young and not yet experienced,
may develop into efficient and usefu
teachers in time, but the trustees do not
feel warranted now In experimenting, and
are not going TO take any chances. Thai
seems to be wise view of the situation
at present.

1t is comparatively easy to amend the
state constitution to put some new feature
intoit. tits not quite SO easy to get the same
feature out Of the constitution. The con-
stitution was built that way In 1914 The
makers provided that it should always be
in the power OF the minority of the vot-
ers of the state to prevent constitutional
changes. In the presidential election last
year total vote of 467, III was polled in
New Jersey. In eleven counties that con-
troll the state Senate the total majority
vote was only 55, 299. or about IL per
cent. of the whole. This vote controls
the Senate and the constitution. If the
aggregate majority vote in the eleven
counties was only two per cent, it would
still control the Senate and just as effect
lively prevent constitutional changes.
What this small ruling minority of the
voting population permits to pass the
Legislature In the shape of constitu-
tional amendment should, therefore, be
closely scanned by the great majority. If
it is something specially desired by the
minority. it should be held up until those
things the majority have vainly asked for
are conceded. We are in this state living
under an undemocratic system of gov
eminent in the making of the laws, be-
cause the Senate is unrepresentatiye of
the majority will of the people. And
there never will be any reform in that re-
spect If the partly DISTINGUISHED great ma
jority shall vote right along to make such
changes as are agreeable to the 10 per
cent. of voters, while being denied the
most necessary and the most righteous
change of all.-Nescark Star

The question of bonding the county to
build stone roads seems to have been set
tied for this year at least. The Board Of
Freeholders, last week, by vote of q to
/. defeated resolution to issue such
bonds. The vote was quite decisive, but
none too much 30. 1t is believed that the
taxpayers are opposed to the question in

The New Idea" faction of New Jer-
sey met at club room in New York, a
few nights ago, and decided to draft a
bill taking the appointment of election
officers out of the hands of County Com
mittees and Boards of Election, and plac-
ing it in the courts or commission. The
reason for the proposed change is that
factionists are not now recognized in the
appointment of election officers. But the
most important declaration of the New
Idea" leaders, among whom were Record,
Martin, Sommer and Blauvelt, was their
to oppose the adoption of
the constitutional amendment extending
the terms of the Senators, Assemblymen,
Governor and county officers. The idea
lists" say they favor the election of As
semblymen by districts, but can't vote for
it without voting for the term extension,
and that they consider too big a price to
pay. Arrangements were begun for a
dollar dinner in Newark late in the month,
at which Governor Fort is to be guest,
it is said Evidently the New Idea"
feels encouraged despite the setback 1t re-
ceived less than year ago, and stalwart
may look for another attack
on them within the ranks and give them
full employment in fighting two political
enemies. Camden Courier.

Editorial Comment.

Sprinkling roads with oil instead OF
water is no longer an experiment 1t has
passed that stage. Many places have
found that Oil not only lays the dust bet
ter than water, but that it preserves the
roadbed and diminishes the cost of main.
tenance. Long Branch was slow to adopt
the innovation, because it wanted to run
no risks in running its fine drives or max
ing them disagreeable. Now 1t may dc
so in perfect safety.
There is a question as to whether the
crude Standard Oil product or compo'
sition known as Crystalline haYing the
crude oil as its base ia preferable. But the
experience of other places favors the com
position and doubtless this will be used
here. We have the best roads and more
of them than any other resort, and al
no place has them dustless permanently,
it is the only improvement that can BIZ
made, and it's gratifying that we are tC
have that.-Long Branch Record.

The personnel of the commission al
pointed by Governor Fort to revalue the
railroad property in this State ought to be
a guarantee that the work will be done
with efficiency and with due regard to
Justice to the State and the railroad com
panies. Messrs. WINERY and Hansel are
expert engineers, who stand high in their
profession, and who have had large ex-
perience in railroad construction work and
other similar enterprises, while Mr..
Stevens Is a real estate man thoroughly
familiar with land values in Jersey City
and Hudson County, where is located
more railroad property than in any other
section of the State. All three of the COM
missioners are residents of New Jersey,
and none of them has any entangling al
liances with the railroads, fact that was
ascertained by the Governor before the
appointments were made. Mr.. Hansel
has had previous experience in the very
line of work he is to undertake here
He was one of the commissioners ap-
pointed to revalue railroad property in
Michigan few years ago. and the result
of his labors there was eminently salts
factory to the people of that State. He
has also been engineer of the Illinois Rail-
road Commission. The task before him
and his associates here is a large one,
and it must be completed in a compare

The present population OF the work

1000 other prisoners. regularly COM
mitted, are scattered throughout other

ployment, There is no system OF posi-

the warden said. Only the memory OF
matrons or male officers Is depended on
to Identify former inmates

Because OF the number of men and
women prisoners received In the course
OF a year-estimated at 2O,0OO-lt would
be impossible to establish an intricate

Witness said.
The cumulative sentence law Is an
unjust law" said Warden Fox. "It
has a bad effect on the discipline OF
prisoners, who attribute their Increased
stays in prison because Of repeated OF.

THE Magistrates should declare the
total number OF days or months OF SEN

CROWD BIG SHIP
FOR BERMUDA
Prince George Carries Cargo
of Pre-Lenten Brides and
Bridegrooms.

No ship that ever sailed from this
harbor carried -uCh cargo OF brides
and bridegrooms as the Bermuda. Allan
tic Steamship Company's steamship
Prince George. which started to-day for
the island OF onions and lilies, and never
before has the Prince George had 50
many passengers. Literally, she was
loaded to the guards.
The habit OF marrying grows Nrulent
just before the beginning Of Lent. Hence
the great rush OF honeymooners to Ber-
muda. Brides and brdegrooms were
easily spotted on the decks before the
boat sailed they were so self-conscious
One bridegroom from Toledo, O.. lost
his bride for fve minutes, and II he
hadn't found her just when he did he
undoubtedly would have gone overheard.
unmindful Of the cold. stiff gale, the
brides and bridegrooms forced the ,ther
passengers out Of the way and lined
the rails as the Prince George backed
out into the river and headed for the
bay. Those on the pier who watched
the departing ship longed for old shoes
or bags OF rice. But the i. )ncymoonc-s
will be back again, and pom their re-
turn they will not be so obvious.
