Justice
Swayze
is Right
Justice Fraucis J.
Swayze, of the New
Jersey Supreme Court

in the case of the Chancellor Jury
Reform measure, wherein he holds
that it is unconstitutional, and it is
to be hoped that the Court of Errors
and Appeals will sustain him.
When we first read of the opinion
he rendered, in some of the large
city papers, we gathered the i'm
preston that he said "a law cannot
be made by the people -
Careful reading revealed the fact
that while such a construction could
be placed upon it, the real import
was that the people of the smaller
counties like Hunterdon must be
protected from the larger counties,
which could carry through-and
did-a referendum on a matter of
such vital interest.
This chancellor jury bill proposed
to take the selection of juries from
the hands of the sheriff of each
county and give it into the hands
of the court, the chancellor of the
state-an officer appointed by the
governor pass upon the juries.
1t was wrong in principle and
would have been in action. 1t is
true that no sheriff should be per-
mitted to draw juries, but the matter
should be left in the hands of jury
commissioners elected by the people.
This is done in Bucks and other
Pennsylvania counties and gives
satisfaction.
We have had occasion, many times
to criticise some of the judges for
their opinions so that we take special
pleasure in bestowing praise upon
one of that profession who stops to
consider the rights of the rural
people.

NO PUZZLE TO THE MARRIED
Benedict Could Quickly Answer Ques1
ton Which Appears to Worry
High judicial Tribunal.
Is a wife a "family ?"

Married men laughed right out
loud when they learned that the
court of appeals has been asked to-
answer this question, the lower courts
being unable to agree in the matter.
That the valuable time of the high
est tribunal in the state should be
taken up with a question which any
benedict could answer with his eyes
shut and both hands tied behind his
back has provided no end of merri-
ment for the matrimonial captives-
''The wife is always the family"
said one married martyr. "When
there are no children she is the head
of the family. If the judges of the
court of appeals doubt whether one
woman can constitute a family I'll
send them a few assorted Christmas
bills. They'll be convinced that my
wife is colony. If they wanted to-
give the court some real work why
didn't they try to find out what
part of the family the husband is p

utensil to William II. and, pointing
out place in the ground, said: eff
your majesty will deign to scratch
here have hope of something" The
emperor scratched and under the

inscription to the glory of Caesar,
which the Chevalier Boni deciphered
without looking at it. He had buried
it there the evening before.-Le Cri

1t ought to be possible for the
people to retaliate by shutting Mrs.
Twombly, and the crowd who fawn
upon her, from the use of the pub
lie highways, but they have no such
right, unfortunately.
1t should be remembered, how
ever, that not every man or woman of
means has the petty, insignificant
mind that Mrs. Twombly has. While
she and her ilk may be kow-towed
to up in the Morristown neighbor-
hood, here in good, healthy Ameri-

but contempt for them.

decent in their dealings with other
people, but not to the ones who
want to control the earth.

For. full for, this as we'll

of a task to enumerate any con-
siderable portion of them.
Most of us have feeling
that we haven't got all that is

Of course the general supposition

standpoint, far less.
Still, the editor of this paper has
reason to be more less thankful. 1t
is a privilege to be a resident of the
Coryell's Ferry Community; that is
something to be thankful for.
All the people who have thought
of using an ak or some other quick
and effective weapon on the editor

customary for an editor to admit
that any one issue of the paper is not

confess it on this issue. Only once

Many Reasons for Curfew Law.

Many Reasons for Curfew Law.
The local committee in charge for
the curfew agitation in the city of
Lambertville have submitted many
reasons to this paper why the law
should be adopted, but the sixteen
given below cover the whole sit
uation
l. The law will give authoritative
government for good which always
tends to advantage in old and young.
2. 1t will insure better lessons at
school and a better condition of
pupils for study.
3. 1t will invariably add to church
attendance and larger number at
Sabbath Schools.
4. 1t will aid in keeping boys and
girls from questionable resorts.
5. 1t will aid to lessen the thiev-
ing and pilfering done by boys.
6. 1t will aid in keeping boys and
girls from the communicating in
fuence of the boy inclined to evil.
7. 1t will help fathers and mothers
in maintaining parental control,
especially with the children who
defy home restraint.
s. 1t will lessen the noise and
shouting of children upon the street
corners at night.
8. 1t will tell the hour when, for
their physical and moral good, they
should be off the streets.
10. In so far as the law dictates it
will give the officials the authority
to govern children who are without
control, and aid in keeping them
from criminal courts.
II. The curfew ordinance will
help to decrease early marriages
that lead to unhappy marital re-
lations, separation and divorce.
II. When we remember that the
physical life of every person depends
upon a careful regard to health in
childhood and that early hours for
sleep are essential to this end, the
value of the curfew is apparent.
IS. For the sake of young girls,
many of whom walk the streets
to their destruction, the curfew
ordinance is an important measure.
IA The enactment of this measure
will verify the fact that the city
officials have an interest in the peo-
pie as well as financial affairs.
Is. Because it is universally APP
proved and commended in cities
where the law is enforced, the
arrests of youths in these cities be-
ing from rs to 80 per cent less.
Is. In these days of white slave
traffic, officials as we'll as fathers and
mothers, should strive to protect
young girls from a fate worse than
death.
