A CONDEMNATION OF THE dERAN LAW.

q ELDOM has a primary election in Essex county excited as
~ much interest as the election last Tuesday and seldom in
recent years was there such a paucity of interest III voting
in the election. 1t stands to reason that if the ninety thousand
voters in Essex county were in thorough sympathy with the policies
represented by the new election laws at least onehalf Of the number
would come out to the polls to vote in the first election held under
these laws. If, as has been argued, there is no undue obstruction IN
the laws to the free use of the ballot and therefore no reason why
any voter should feel deferred from voting, why is it that with
all the great interest in the election the vote on Tuesday was ten
thousand less than the vote in the primary elections last year ana
more than sixty thousand less than the presidential vote in 1905?
1t should be made apparent to the architects of the new election
laws that in their eagerness TO go one better than Oregon in freak
legislation they went Il tride too far. They failed to consider the
fact that, unlike Oregon, New Jersey is a additionally conservative
State and never inclined to doubtful experiments in government.
The rejection of the Walsh act by ten municipalities is evidence OF
the character of the populations of the two States as well as in the
customs and habits of the people. There are all kinds of climates
in the United States and all kinds of characteristics, and no wise
statesman would argue that what suits one section must of neces-
siy suit another. 1t is now well demonstrated that the Oregon
idea, and particularly in its exaggerated form in our new election
laws. is not the New jersey idea. Nor need it be believed that New
Jerses voters will become reconcied TO it in time. Laws that are
absurdly inappropriate and unnecessary in their rigors can never
become popularized by use. The close inquisition OF the Geran law
for the voter will always be offensive and renellant until the cleo
ton laws are modified in accordance with the dictates of common

WHY NEWARK'.S POPULATION SHIFTS.

m STATEMENT by the Trenton Times in support of the Islander
IN that there were 1000 fraudulent registrations in Newark
is: "Trenton's population is about 100000 and is fully as
cosmopolitan and shifting as is Newarl's 800 900" Nothing could
be more absurdly untrue. Trenton is a secondclass inland town,
with a stationary population. In 1905 it had 14,490 dwellings and
1856 families, or almost q family to every dwelling. In Newark,
with 1929 dwellings,, there were 65,341 families. OF TrentOns
population of 81. $50 in 1905 no less than 63,420 were natiyeborn.
In Newark out of 3D., 2S9 population 19S749 were foreignborn.
Newark is seaboard and is one of the most cosmopolitan cities of the
country, and in its vast factory system there are thousands of
changes and a corresponding shifting of residence for population.

UNLABELED MUNICIPAL POLITICS.

cH HE idea that party designations should have nothing to do with
candidates. for municipal office was inaugurated in San Fran
cisco on Tuesday for the first time in this country and made
n good beginning by upseting the predatory gang that has long
dsgraced that city's government. No partisan labels we're per
mitted in the election for mayor, in which James Rolph, j, defeated
four other nominees, his principal opponent being rhe notorious
b. r. Mccarthy, now mayor, who secured Office 10y trading on the
labor element. Mccarthy was overwhelmed in he election. San

Invite Mosquito TO Banquet.
To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
A Newark man has decided that the
theory of discriminating the mosquito
by destroying the breeding places is
hypothetical than practical. He
has adopted the opposite plan. Make
breeding places SO inviting, he argues,
that all the old mother mosquitoes In
the nefghborhood hat want TO raise
a family will flock to them. stock
these breeding places with goldfish
and they will do the rest. The inventor
sinks water-barrels in his front lawn.
with three goldfish and w witar
lily bulbs in a barrel. The effect Is
quite ornamental. The goldfish, he
says, gobble up the eggs aad mother
mosquito at a gulp, thereby destroying
the present generation and preventing
the next one from coming INFO exist
ence. He expects his plan to do away
with all the female mosquitoes In short
order, and this is all that is NEEDED, be-
cause the male mosquitoes do not hite.

the result is abominable The relaid

If.there is an ordinance or regulation
to cover such cases, 1t ought to be

A FEATURE OF THE COUNTY ELECTION.

m MARKED feature of the county election returns is the diff
ference of about four thousand votes between the total
vote polled for sheriff and senator. In the Republican pll
the vote for sheriff ran about LOO ahead of the senatorial vote
while in the Democratic poll the excess for sheriff was nearly 240O.
On senator the Republican primary vote exceeded the Democratic
vote by 1855 and on sheriff by 63S3 showing a much greater par
ticipation in the election by Republicans than by Democrats.

Dick Purcell, d telephone lineman, was held to the grand jury yesterday on the charge of attempted arson in connection with one of the series of fires last Tuesday night He had originally been charged with arson on the theory that he had set the fires in the rear of Wattawa's furniture store. but the charge was changed, and the examination which was held before Judge Parker related only to the incipient blaze in the rear of the Doris.
 The defendant. who was represented by Attorney Marks. did not go on the stand. The bond was fixed at $500, but was not fully executed and the defendant was remanded to jail.

PROPERTY OWNERS
 WILL SIGN CONTRACTS WIDESPREAD APPROVAL OF COUNCILS ACTION MANI
 TESTED.
Work of Securing Contracts Will Go
 on Rapidly During This Week.

With the settlement of the question regarding subletting of contracts for ] the work of paving the streets in the l business section of the city. all busi- ! ness preliminary to the work of se- 1 curing property holders contracts to defray the expense of the work was accomplished, and the certainty of Phoenix having it's principal thorough fares paved in durable bitulithic is ] now assured without the necessity of any further controversy or investiga- | ton.
 Although the five members who will 1 compose the paving commission have | not been designated by the council, it is certain that they will be well known business men. whose promi- hence and responsibility will give the property holders a strong guarantee of the work being carried out in d thorough and satisfactory manner. | Expressions of approval of the action of the council in coming to a har- mOnious understanding with the mem
 bers of the committee of the citizens paving association. and with the Bar Der Paving company regarding the
  were heard in many places yesterday, and there is every indication of the widespread approval both of the style of paving selected and the contractor designated to do the work.
 Contracts are being prepared by the Barber Paving company which are being made clear and concise. SO that property holders who sign them will know the exact nature of the work to be done and will have a perfect un- derstanding of the improvements for which they will expend their money. Referring to the policy which will be followed by his firm in carrying out the contract. Mir Conw3y the repre- sentative of the Barber Paving com pany. said yesterday:
 We intend to have everything open and above board. and will try to make everything SD clear that there will be no room for question in anyone's mind regarding the nature of the work we will do. or it's extent or cost. As soon as the property holders contracts are signed for 25.O00 yards of paving we will make immediate preparations to go ahead with the work of preparing
 he grades. and expect to astOnish peO- pie by the rapidity with which We will accomplish the work provided for in the contract. But we have d rule in our company that a contract for pay ing shall only be carried out in such
 time as will permit of its being done in thorough and scientific manner, and I do not intend to have the pave ments laid here with such speed that there will be any oversight in creating a / pavement that may be used here after as a standard for any future inn
 provements of the kind in this city. The bitulithic pavement as it will be aid in Phoenix will be not only dura ble but slightly. It has been used on a number of the most important bOule- wards and avenues of the large east ern cities. and is considered an at tractive style of paving. The crushed rock mixed with the asphalt. gives mottled gray and black color which IS very pleasing.
