FOR HOME RULE.

argument for and against the c~onstitu-
tional convention seems to center ON whether
or not the attempt to amend the constitution is
made for the sole purpose Of changing the
representation of the various counties in the
senate. At the present time this representa-
ton is modelled after the United States Senate
where every state, regardless of size and popu-
lation, meets on equal footing. In New Jersey
the counties are represented by one senator
each, regardless of how many people the re-
spective counties have.
For a long time the counties in the northern
part of the state have been clamoring for a
REIMBURSEMENT along the lines of choosing sena-
tors, claiming that the great majority of the
people living in that section are hindered in
their progress by the more rural counties of
the southern end. Measures desired by the
cities Of the north, which have passed the as
sembly, where the representation is according
to population, have been killed in the senate,
where the rural counties are in control. There
is no doubt about the necessity of amending
the constitution so as to bring many of its
features up to date and to provide for modern
conditions. 1t is very doubtful, however, if
these amendments can be made if the northern
counties are to insist upon changing the repre-
sentation in the senate.
In discussing the matter, which seems to be
agitating the state from one end to the other,
the Newark Evening News suggests an admir-
able solution which We believe should satisfy
all sections. The reason that there is such a
demand for a reorganization Of the senate is
because the requirements of the cities are so
vastly different from those of the country sec
tons, yet, according to the constitution, all
legislation must be general so as to apply to all
sections alike. It is self-evident that what is
desirable in the cities is not desirable in the
rural sections. This applies, particularly, to
the more liberal laws pertaining to excise af-
fairs, Sunday observance, etc. The result is
that the country districts, by having a ma
jority in the senate, prevent the great ma
jority of the people who live in the cities from
getting what they want.
The suggestion of the Newark News is that
representation in the senae remain the same
ss at present, with one senator from each
county, but that the constitution be amended
SO that every municipality will have as near alb
solute home rule as possible, giving the people

LOCAL THEATRICAL TALENT.

Members of the Y. M. H. A. have distin-
guished themselves for the manner in which
they have produced the play, 'Paid in Full"
in this city. For amateur theatricalsH it is
doubtful if Perth Amboy has seen anything to
surpass this production.
1t was a great surprise to the large number
was such ability along dramatic lines here. 1t
will please a large number to know that those
in charge of the production will be able to
repeat the play so that many who failed to see
of realizing for themselves exactly what our
local people can do along this line.
