Election Troubles.

The Board of Registry and Election In
Bordentown township, at least the Demo
cratic members, have created trouble that
may bring serious results to them before
the matter is finally settled. There are
number of colored men who work in the
brick yards in that township and when
the Board went around to register, they
divided, as is the custom, into two parts,
one Democrat and one Republican going
over each division On the one side OF
the township is Smiths brickyard and the
two men In charge of that division put
the names of the men engaged there on
the list. On the other side, however. the
Democratic member of the Board refused
to register the men there and the Repub-
lican member was powerless to compel
him to do SO. 1t is said that after the two
divisions got together, the Democratic
members crossed off the names of the
colored men they had already put on.
Action was taken to have the men regis
tered as there did not seem to be any
reason for keeping them from voting. A
majority, if not all of them, have been
registered in past years, and have voted,
but there seems to have been personal
animus injected into this affair and the
Democratic members of the Board of
Elections seem to be actuated by motives
that will bear investigation.
There are about twenty-five of these
voters and on Saturday II were taken
before the County Board and were given
certificates on which to vote. Yesterday
five more were taken before Judge Hor-
ner. They all swore to residence In this
county and in Bordentown township.
Harold G. Wells appeared for the Election
Board, none of the members of which
were present, and counsel endeavored to
show that the applicants were not entitled
to VOTE The claim was set up that the
men have not legal residence in Bor-
dentown township, being there only dur
ing certain portions OF the year, leaving
when the brick-making season is over.
then going to the South where it is
claimed they all own property. The men
told very straight stories and Judge Hor-
ner gave them certificates on which they
may vote.
It is reported that the Democratic mem
bers of the township Board of Election
have said they will not honor the certif-
Gates of the County Board or the Court,
but if they should be SO foolish, especially
so far as the Court is concerned, somebody
will get into trouble. The case is very
likely to get into the courts. in all events,
as there are incidents connected with the
transaction which may very properly be
investigated and Thoroughly sifted. 1t is
about time some of the election boards get
the idea that they may have something
else to do besides venting personal spleen
and acting in an entirely partisan manner.

A Chinese Superstition.

Fengshui is the Chinese superstition
that determines good site or locality,
and If a town on the Yangtze has not
a good fengshui trade will not come to
1t. and it win be ruined. A towr
named Peishih had its pagoda in the
wrong place-not far enough down the
riyer-and the result was that all traf-
&c which should have come to it was
swept past. Peishih being left out In
the cold. The people pulled down the
pagoda and built another one in the
supposed right spot, as nothing would
convince them that the depression
could arise from any other cause than
that of bad fengshui.
The city Of Wanshein. on the other
hand. has a perfect fengshui. two fine
pagodas. and is very prosperous. Bu'
the fact that Wanshein is situated In
a fertile valley, where wheat, barley
and the poppy flourish abundant!
while Peishih is barren and miserable,
does not concern the inhabitants so
much as the fengshui site. This re-
markable idea in the Chinese mind is
only one OF thousands like 1t.

A PROFESSOR in a public school of
Newark presided at a meeting at which
anarchistic doctrines were expounded and
appIauded. There Is a question whether
the real result of the meeting was antici-
pated, for there Is statement that there
was "a worthy object declared" in its
announcement. The point that seems to
be at issue is show far an instructor of
youth in our public schools may go in
identifying himself with public gather
ings in which may be promulgated
theories subversive of social order and
destructive to our most cherished institu-
tions." There should be but one answer
to any such inquiry. A teacher in the
public schools has no right to do anything
that will undo what he is engaged to do
in public capacity, nor has he any right
to approve any moves that would tend to
instil into the minds of any, youths or
adults, ideas that would be against good
government, and anarchistic doctrines are
certainly of that class. But because a
man happens to be professor in school
or college. or even a more teacher, is no
reason why he should be denied the free
dom of thought and speech. In his
actions, however, he must take care to
study the result that may follow. We
havein mind one professor who was a
great Prohibitionist That fact did not
initiate against him, but when he left the
school in school hours to go around the
town and try to bring people to his way
of thinking, and when he used the school
room to convey through the scholars his
ideas to the parents, he Overstepped the
mark and his labors were soon at an end.
1t is the duty of every citizen to take an
interest In politics and the welfare of the
community, but it Is equally duty to
see that his actions are guided by motives
that will not bring about disastrous re-
suits. The Mount Holly Board of Educa-
ton has never inquired into the political
faith of any of its male employees-prin-
cipal or janitors. 1t has required that the
duties they are engaged to carry out shall
be faithfully observed and completed.
After that the men are free to do as they
please SO long as they do not act in any
way that will bring discredit upon them
selves or the schools.

The Top Hat.


Tall hats. "pearkin up like the spire
of steeple a quarter Of yard above
the crowne." as a sixteenth century
writer describes them, were known In
the time of Elizabeth, and the Puri-
tans affected them until they merged
into the old fashioned beavers OF our
great-grandfathers' days. Top hats OF
silk appeared first In Florence about
1900, and twenty years later silk hats
with felt bodies were introduced into
England. About 1910 the French silk
hat was placed on the market and at
once adopted In the familiar chimney
pot shape. There were several vari-
cites of it, such as the Wellington hat,
with the yeoman crown; the Anglesea
hat. bell shaped at the top, and the
D'Orsay hat, with ribbed silk binding
and big bow. The color also varied.
Thus the Earl of Harrington started a
craze for green top hats by wearing
one in his garden with the idea OF not
frightening the birds. He also tested
his silk hats by standing upon them.
The top hat, however. was never SO
favored by any great parsonage as to
account for its general adopton.-Lon-

Down in Ocean county they do not seem
70 be entirely satisfied with the manner in
which the chairman of the county Repub-
lican committee was elected and one mem
her of the committee has written to the
Attorney General and has asked two
direct questions, one of which is whether
a county committee can fill the vacancy
In their membership caused by death,
resignation. removal from township or
failure to elect, the rules providing that
the committee shall have such power; and
the other question is care the rules
previously existing, or when once adopted,
in full force and effect until repealed or
modified by the recently-elected county
committee In answer to the first query
the Attorney General gives an opinion
that committee does not have the power
to ill vacancies. but that quorom of the
remaining number may continue to do
business. He also sticks to his idea that
a chairman must be member Of the COM
mittee. He refers to the opinion of Judge
Swsyze in which that jurist says that the
county committee, not portion OF 1t,
shall be elected each year. Taking any
other view it might mean that county
committee could So alter its rules as to
nrovide that the members then in Office
should remain In during their natural
lives. or If 1t be said that the terms OF
some members must necessarily expire
each year, it would still be competent for
a committee to have one member go out
each year and to adopt such basis OF
representation as to make the committee
self perpetuating. Burlington county
does not have provision that one mem
Der shall go out each year. but its rules
do say that three members shall retire
each wear, and those rules also provide
that the committee shall have power to
fill vacancies And, still further, the rules
say that they shall not be modified OF
changed except at convention called
especially for that purpose. Now comes
the law and it says that the county com
mittee shall be elected at the primary cleo
ton In the manner provided for the selec-
ton of party candidates, and that the
chairman of the county committee shall
certify on a given date the number OF
committeeman to be elected at the next
election, las provided for by the constitu-
ton and bylaws of such committee. "
