ACTION WAS taken, on Thursday, on one
OF Senator Frelinghuysen's measures to
improve the management of schools in
this state" 1t was bill that provided
that bank director should not be mem
Der of Board of Education. Just where
the peculiar fitness of this provision came
In was not plain to several members of the
Senate. consequently the bill was beaten
This was very proper disposition of the
measure. There was no sense whatever
in such bill. The idea intended to be
conveyed was that a member of Board
of Education. as a bank director, would
use his influence to secure deposits of
school moneys, but there Is no evidence
that any such official has ever gone that
far. The custodian of funds has the plac-
ing of the moneys of the schools and we
doubt if there is Board of Education, in
this county, at least, that has ever taken
the trouble to inquire where the money is
kept. That Is matter in which the Gus
todiau is responsible, the township
being protected by his bondsmen
Other bills will come up later and
1t is likely that many of them will have a
rough time before they get through, es-
pecially that which looks to the abolition
Of the State Board of Education and the
establishment Of a single commissioner
The main objection to this idea Is that it
will put too much power in one man 8
hands, and another very Objectionable
feature Is the clause which allows the
commissioner to be resident of another
state. Thissis looked upon as reflection
on the qualifications of Jerseymen. Ger
tainly we have In this state a Sufficient
number of educated gentlemen acquainted
with the needs Of our public schools, and
there is no necessity of importing talent
to look after what Jerseymen have been
able to bring to pretty fair state of per-
lection.

AFTER correcting several errors In the
Geran election bill and adopting an amend
ment or two the Senate adopted the bill
aud it win now 60 back to the House
where the changes will be concurred In
and the bill will await the return of Gov
ernor Wilson, who has been away for q
few days. The Republican members of
the Senate were of the opinion that 1t
would do no harm to pass the Geran bill
and let the people have one election under
its provisions The most comprehensive
presentation of the case was that of Sen
ator Prince, who said:
"a majority of about fifty thousand
elected our present executive and thew
voted for him with full cognizance of the
fact that he stood for such an election
change as that set forth in this bill. I
have no reason to doubt that these voters
believed that Governor Wilson would fol-
low this policy, as they all knew him to
be man of his word and of utmost sin
certify. He has now kept his word. He
has driven the bill through q rather re-
luctant House, whence 1t came to us here
In q condition almost impossible to de-
scribe. The Senate committee on elect
ions has literally turned itself into a night
school, correcting the copy of this mea-
sure. 1t now lies before us in a eonstitu-
tional and orderly form.
Il do not know whether 1t Is going to
be panacea for all election evils-ali leg
islation Is experimental-bu since a very
large majority has apparently spoken In
favor of this sort of change, I shall not
venture to theorize at all about it, but
sstand ready to vote for it, regarding it as
an experiment and being willing to SUBJ
NIT this system Of elections, new to our
state. to the electorate of New Jersey, for
the next election will, think, largely be
referendum on this theory"

TUESDAY, APRIL is, 1911
THnRx was peneral ernec,.t,on th.t !,

THERE was general expectation that the
Democratic House of Assembly would
make plumbers. but 1t was thought they
would be of a political nature. There
have been serious blunders OF different
nature which have caused considerable
annoyance. and If they had not been dis
covered in time, would have led to seri-
GUS consequences. Four or five bills have
passed the Legislature and some of them
have received the Gubernatorial approval
only to be found to be defective, necessi-
tating their recall to be put in proper
shape. The blame Is laid to the office of
the Supervisor of Bills In the House. vet
1t Is curious instance that the bills
should get past the Governor without
having the defects discovered. The Office
OF Supervisor of Bills in the House of
Assembly has not been the position of
security az In the days of Republican
rule. Ii there were errors then as are now
related they never saw the light of day,
and 1t is not probable they could have
escaped then any more than now. There ap.
pears to have been Indifference or careless
ness In the Supervisors department this
winter, and more than once there have
been threats of punishment for attaches
OF the department who seemed to think
their only business was to draw the salary.
The amounts paid the chief and his assist
ants have been ample for the work done,
and sufficient to ensure safety and proper
presentation Of the bills to be engrossed.
