UNREASONABLE ON IT'S FACE.

There are many reasons on it's face
why the allegation, from whatever
source it emanated, that Vice-Presi-
dent Sherman had been mixed up in a
corrupt Congressional deal, should be
discredited, apart from the high char
acter of Mr.. Sherman. The one that
in these suspicious days when many
persons Of hit lerto spotless reputation
have been pulled from their pedestals
and thrown in the mire, will most
strongly appeal to the general public
is that Mr.. Sherman is man OF too
large means to be subject to the temp
tations which sap the honesty of many
public officials and men in private sta
ton. The Vice-P Presidents emphatic
denial of connection of any kind with
the alleged transaction brought to
public attention by Senator Gore will
no doubt set at rest a most painful
sensation. Or. if a disposition should
appear TO work. the incident for
political purposes, it will be treated
with the contempt it deserves Thus
far, we are glad to say, few such indi-
cations have been seen. 1t is a matter
grayely concerning our whole country
that the reputation of its VicesPresi-
dent should not be lightly assailed, and
there does not as yet appear to have
been any Justification for Senator Gore
in bringing what he himself admitted
to be mere statements to him sifted
through two or three other persons,
before the public in a way sure to
make a painful sensation. The COM
mittee of investigation evidently does
not regard the testimony of Senator
Gore as of the least Importance so far
as Mr.. Sherman is concerned. Pater-
son Press.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.

~
In a recent issue the Baltimore
American notes the fact that Ger
man estimate puts the number of
Americans touring abroad in Europe
at 100000, with an average expenditure
OF $3.50, making an aggregate sum Of
1925, 100000 of American money poured
into the Golfers of Europe each year
Partisan dressmakers are supposed to
benefit to the extent of SIS, 0OO, O00 the
millinersl 81 100000, and the other
tradesmen to the extent of 81, 900, 600.
The American consul general, however
places the American expenditures in
Paris at s20,000,OOO for articles Of
trade and commerce, the hotel and res
taurant charges not being included
The estimates of the British are that
our travellers spend in London, $40, OO0,-
900, and altogether $25,OOO,00o in
England.
The rule in this country seems to be
that a man may do with his own
money what he pleases. From these
estimates from foreign sources it
would seem that there are consider
able number of Americans who please
themselves by spending great deal
Of their money in foreign countries
The probabilities are that the Ameri-
can leader will say that they are do
ing with their own after their own
way, and In their own pleasure. So
they are but little reflection will
shown that the goodly sum Of over
s2O0, 100000 poured into Europe is
taken from the currency OF our own
country, and that we are deprived of
its use. A little further reflection will
show that a very large sum is taken
from the trade and commerce Of our
own country.

NEW JERSEYS eRowrH.


The first census figures for any of the
component parts Of the great metro
politan district Of which Manhattan
island is the hub are those for the
three cities on the west shore of the
Fl olson Hoboken, Jersey City and
Bayonne. Their rate in growth fairly
reflects the growth of the whole area.
Hoboken'S increase is the smallest,
the gain in ten years being 10,960, or
1876 per per cent. Hoboken, like Man
haitian borough, has little more free
room to grow in, and it's advance prob
ably reflects the advance made in Man
haitian since 1900. Jersey City has reg
istered gain of 81, 346, or 20. q per cent.
That will probably run about parallel
with the gain in Brooklyn, except in
the outlying parts. Bayonne, the
smallest of the three jersey cities, had
the larges6 relative increase D, 1923 or
69.7 per cent. Bayonne is an industrial
rather than a suburban residence sec
tion, and it's growth will probably be
found to be little larger than that of
Queens borough, which has also en-
joyed an exceptional industrial devel-
opment, or of the Bronx, which has
been taken up for purposes both of
residence and of manufacture.
New Jersey is forging ahead rapidly
in population. There is steady over
flow into its northern counties from
congested New York, and its manu-
factories are attracting good deal OF
alien labor The state census of 1905
showed gain Of IA per cent. since 1900
and the full decade will undoubtedly
show a gain of from 81 to 20 per cent.
Newark, the Oranges, Trenton, Pater-
son, Passaic, Camden and Atlantic
City are gaining as fast as the Hudson
river towns, and the country districts
are not stagnant except along the up
per Delaware river and in the extreme
southern section. New jersey gained
one representative in congress between
1880 and 1890 and two between 1890
and 1900 1t will gain at least one
more member in the 1911 apportion-
ment, even if the ratio is increased
from 194,1S2 TO about 2l5,O0o. Lying
between the two great states of New
York and Pennsylvania and between
the two great cities of New York add
Philadelphia, it is drained by neither
and literally fed by both.
