THE STATE PRIMARY BALLOT.

The machine still controls in New
Jersey. The Board of Guardians
won at the primaries yesterday.
Cannonism %triumphed and the only
in%surgent that New Jersey could
boast of in congress has been de-
feated for a denomination. The
bosses die hard. The secret of their
success is the fact that they still
control the party machinery. AS
long as they have the county and
state committees with them, domi-
nate the county chairmen and select
the election officers, SO long will
they continue to have their own way
within the party.
1t is plain that the only relief
this year is to follow the example Of
Maine. When a party gets as bad
as the republican party is today, the
only thing to do is to turn the
rascals out. The masses of the
voters do not yet understand the
primary law. They hesitate about
going to the polls. We do not o n
slider the result Of yesterdays voting
the voice of the people as far as the
state is concerned. The machine
was too much in control to allow a
fair test. The people will be heard
from in November, however. Re-

FOURTH OF July RECORD.

The EVENING NEWS has eve
regretted the part it took in having
a safe and sane" Fourth of July
celebration in Perth Amboy. DR.. w.
e. Ramsay, who was also interested
In the movement, has brought us a
copy Of the Medical Record which
gives some interesting figures show
ing the result of the effort to reduce
mortality among children on the
nations birthday. The Medical
Record says:
The carefully compiled statistics
of the American Medical Association
show that the agitation for a sane
Fourth has had some effect, a de-
crease in the number Of victims be-
ing particularly notable in those
communities which have passed re-
strictive legislation. The summary
shows that this year 1923 persons
were injured, of whom 131 died. In
1908 the injured numbered 4.449,
of whom 466 died. The total for
the eight years is 1886 persons in
jnred In Fourth of July celebrations,
with 1862 deaths resulting directly
from the injuries and from tetanus
following the wounding. The eye
sight was destroyed in 1922 cases;
651 persons lost the use of one eye,
and 1872 were crippled by the loss
Of arms, hands. or legs, and 1,541 by
the loss of fingers. The greatest
reform was accomplished this year
In Massachusetts, where the injuries
were only one-seventh of the number
for the previous year. Missouri,
New Jersey, and New York reduced
their injuries to o%ne-third, while the
