TALKS ON THRIFT
Nj. 5O-WASTE IN
AMERICA

I'VE are an unduly extrava-
CANT people; and the lesson of
the hour is economy, to add as
little as possible to the heavy
burden of credit which the
country is now called upon to
bear. Let us save every dollar
we can against the day of in
vestment opportunity just
ahead of us. This is best for
the individual and for the
country as a whole, as we will
have no financial help from
Europe for years to COTE, and
great development work will
need every dollar that can be
saved."-Ray Stannard Baker

SOLVING THE PROBLEM

Senator Read, of Camden County,
has relieved what threatened to be a
perplexing situation for the Republl-
cans, by announcing that he prefers
that the honors due to his county
shall go to Assemblyman John b.
Hates, who is a candidate for the
Speakership. Senator Read says he
will support Senator Edge, Of Atlantic
County, for the Presidency.
That will be a happy solution Of
the problem. Senator Edge, as is
we'll known, has served as floor lead
er for his party in both houses of the
Legislature, and has thus earned the
recognition that Senator Read is will
ing to give to him. With Edge as
president and Read as leader of the
majority, there will be no doubt about
a business-like session of the Senate.
Assemblyman Hates was admittedly
the ablest member of the last House,
where his fairness and independence
commanded the respect and attention
of both parties. Occasionally he re-
fused to follow Richards, the putative
Republican leader, when the latter
was in the wrong. AS presiding Off
Ger he can be depended upon to act
impartially and fairly.
With Edge as president of the SEN
ate, Read as majority leader and
Kates as speaker of the House, the
Republicans will be in good shape to
take up in earnest the efficiency and
economy measures and make a rec
ord for the party. The Democrats had
the same opportunity, but neglected it
after Woodrow Wilson left Trenton
for shinguon.-Trenton Times.

THE LEGISLATURE

In January both houses of the New
Jersey Legislature will again be un-
der Republican control and may re-
main so for some years to come if his
tory repeats itsef.
The Republicans first secured con-
troll of the Senate in 1861. 1t lost con-
troll in 1862 by a tie vote and one in
dependent vote. The Democrats held
the Senate for three years after that,
losing it for two years in 1866 and
1857. Then they held it for three
years in 1868, 1869 and 1870. The Re-
publicans got it again in 1871 and he. d
it six years.
In 1877 and 1878 the Democrats got
control, but lost it in 1879, and the Re-
publicans held it for ten years. In
1889 it went to the Democrats for one
year and back to the Republicans the
next year. The Democrats regained
control in 1891 and held in three
years.
In 1894 the Republicans secured
control and held it for nineteen con-
secutive years. Including 1915, the
period covered since the Republicans
appeared in the Senate will be fifty
four years, and they have held the
Senate forty years and the Democrats
fourteen during that period.
In the Assembly the Democrats
have been more fortunate. During the
last fifty-four years the House was
twice tied between the two parties, IN
1865 and 1877. The Democrats have
had control twenty-one years and the
Republicans thirty-one years. The
Legislature has in fact so frequently
been Republican and for so long per-
iods that The G. o. P. managers some
times got the idea that it belonged to
that party. Then the people would
show signs of impatience and control
would pass to the other party, but the
Democrats have not been able to hold
power long.
During the Albeit regime, from 1887
to 1893, the Democrats had the House
six years out of seven and the Senate
four years out of seven. For three
years consecutively, 1891, 1892 and
1893, they had control of both houses.
That was their longest lease of full
power in more than half cenury.-

FULL CREW LAW.

The Missouri Legislature passed a
full crew bill and it was signed by
the Governor, but it had to pass a
referendum before IL could become a
law. The acts was submitted to the
people ON Tuesday and they repudi-
ated it by a large majority. This re-
suit is pleasing to the railroads. 4
Missouri is the fourth State that
has turned down this law, which
failed in Texas, Kansas and Oklahoma
by Legislative action or veto powera
There appears to be sentiment in
the West that the railroads have not
had a fair show. This referendum
vote indicates a reaction in popular
opinion in .Missouri.-Jersey. City

THE WORLDS FAIR

The gates of the great fair in San
Francisco will be opened on February
20, 1915. This is, about four months
away. Reports from the fair are very
favorable. The buildings are all prac-
tically completed. The Commission
does not owe dollar and has money
in the treasury. The space for exhib-
its has been taken or applied for and
more could have been let. This fair
will be one-third larger than any
worlds fair of the past.
Tourist travel has already begun
toward California aud the people oul
there believe that the thousands who
heretofore have gone to Europe will
visit the fair this winter and spring
1t is not likely that the rush of tray-
ell will begin as early as the last week
of February, but by May there should
be in San Francisco a great many
thousands visitors from the East.
There are good grounds for the belief
that the fair will be success in spite
of the war.-Jersey City Journal.

FIELDERs VIEW OF THE ELEC-
TION

Governor Fielder may be right In
his belief that the Republican tidal
wave in New Jersey is due not to the
tariff or to any national or State leg
islation, but to the fact that business
has been temporarily disrupted by the
European war and that the party in
mower has to stand the consequences
when prosperity is for any reason In
terfered with.
However. II is recalled that the Eur
opean war was not in progress at the
time of the special election in the
Passaic district last year when Dow
H. Drukker, a Republican, was elect
ed by more than 5000 plurality to sue
ceed the late Congressman Bremner,
a Democrat, who had been elected the
year previous by a plurality of 1880.
The election of Drukker in that fight
signalized a triumph over the Wilson
policies, for Wilson was the sole lssne
on which the contest hinged.
Incidentally, it was claimed by Re-
pubicans at the time that the election
of Drukker marked the beginning OF
the end of Wilson's sway in New Jer-
sey. Drukker is now reelected for
full term.
| The Republ, cans win practically ev-
erything in this State. They have
captured both houses of the Legisla-
ture and eight of the twelve Congress-
men, showing a net gain of six in the
Congressional delegation.
AS Governor Fielder points out,
New jersey was for twenty years
prior to the election of Woodrow Will
son as Governor Republican State
and the Republicans have now simply
regained their own Congress districts,
or some of them. But this does not
minimize the significance of the cleo
tion, which means, if it means any
thing, that the Wilson policies have,
for the time being at least, been re-
jected by the voters of the Presidents S
home State.

! It is unfortunate that the nations
TO whom the Belgiums would natural

many of them. heavily burdened with
their own needs brought on by the
tragedy of war and all that it is maxi

COUNTY ROADS FAST DISINTE-
GRATING


The condition of Burlington coun-
ty's so-called improved roads is be-
coming the subject of increasingly, ad-
verse criticism. Some of these high
ways, which cost the taxpayers heav-
lily, are already in such deplorable
condition that their redemption will
require a large expenditure. Primar-
lily the cause of the rapid disintegra-
tion of the country's stone roads has
been the lack of funds with which to
give the roads the attention that is
imperative for their proper upkeep,
but as a contributory cause the pro-
longed drouths this year has been a
substantial factor. Heavy travel over
macadem roads, already commencing
to "ravel" through lack of adequate
surface protection and from dry
weather, has hastened the distegrad-
ing process until some of the roads
are now in nearly as bad condition as
they were before the county, with
State aid, built its extensive system
of macadam highways.
County Supervisor MacFarland has
done we'll with the funds at his con-
mand but available road moneys are
wholly insufficient and the Supervis-
or and the Road Committee of the
Board of Freeholders have been COM
PEELED to stand by and witness the de-
terioration of many miles of costly
stone roads through lack of an ade-
quate appropriation for road repair
purposes.
obviously the question of redeem
ing the more than two hundred miles
of macadam roads within the county
is problem which few county officials
care to attack. A recent interview
which the writer had with State Road
Commissioner Stevens is convincing
that substantial aid from the State
need to be hoped for al this time. The
Road Department has assumed the
position that before the State will
take over the maintenance of the more
important roads the county musr place
them in good condition, and until that
is done the Department will not be
generously disposed toward Burling-
ton county in the matter of funds from
automobile license fees. Thus the
county is thrown upon it's own re-
sources so far as the raising of money
for immediate road work is concerned.
To meet this need two ways present
themselves: The raising of a consider
able additional amount by direct tax
alton, or the issuance of road bonds,
to be paid off during a term Of years.
Sooner or later one horn of the di-
lemna must be grasped, and the long
er action is delayed the greater will
be the ultimate cost to the taxpayers
of the county.-Mount Holly Mirror.

NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY AND
CONNECTICUT

When in 1888 the Mills tariff bill
came into the open the New York Sun
published a foreeful editorial pointing
out how that measure would injure
the manufacturing interests of New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut,
and how important those States were
to the Democratic party. The Demo-
cratic State Committee of Connecti-
cut protested against the Mills bill,
and the State was barely held in the
Democratic column. New York went
Republican, New Jersey believed Nc
Pherson's promises that no. great re-
duction would be made in the tariff. r
But in 1894 David B. Hills warning
that a near-Free Trade movement
would drive New York, New Jersey
and Connecticut into the Republican
camp was fulfilled. They stayed there
for half a generation. In 1912 they
lost their Judgment.
No" tnoy nave low ldril measure =
shutting their factories and opening
their eyes. Connecticut has chosen a
solid Republican delegation, New Jer-
sey has swung back to the right side,
the New York vote gives Whitman a
plurality two-thirds as great as Cleve-
lands record-breaking vote for Gov
ernor.

A WEDDING REFORM

Out of Chicago, home alike of
breezy air and thought, again comes
new cnrrent in the placid stream of
life. This time it takes the form of
decision by one of Chicago's learned
Judges that wife is entitled to own
all of the wedding presents, provided
she can prove that she was the draw
ing card at the marriage ceremony.
In this new contribution to human
wisdom it is declared that no matter
what the present is, nor how mascu-
line its nature, it belongs to the wo-
man. Those marvellous suspenders
of delicate hue and fiorid embroidery
the near-diamond collar button, the
neckties that rivals in color the rain
bow of the summer afternoon, the
jaunty cane with its glittering handle.
all these now go to the lady in the
case, and the law is imperative.
This new ruling of the Court brings
new element into the Ginning Of
the wedding bells. The man must be
utterly forgotten when the wedding
present is to be considered, would the
giver be popular with the wearer of
the orange blossoms. The woman is
| the only one to be considered. She
can stand before the table upon which
the wedding gifts are artistically and
boastingly laid out, and like femi-
nine Monte Cristo, exclaim: "The
world is mine"
j Even the silver shaving cup, with
the brilliant polish and the undeciph-
cradle festooned engraving, is her
property, and only by her permission
can the bridegroom make use of it.
This is one of the two seasons of the
year when matrimony most doth -four
i ish. The warning has come in time.
| All presents should now he selected
with an eye single to the pleasing of
| the bride. The groom by this decision
becomes even more of cipher in the
wedding ceremony than he was before.

vrNELAND PROVED TREACHER-
OILS

AS was feared Vineland and Lands
township proved treacherous to out
side Democratic candidates on cleo
tion day.
In vineland Moore, the Democratic
candidate for Sheriff, received 129
votes and Marshall, of Vineland, the
Renublican candidate, received $50
votes. while Conwell, the Democratic
candidate for Clerk, also of Vineland,
received 4O2 votes.
In the township Moore received 165
votes and Marshall received 1872 votes
while Conwell received All votes.
Marshall was elected by a plurality
of 1121 votes, of which 1886 was from
Vineland and Landis. Thus he had
plurality of but 95 votes in all other
parts of the county.
Conwell, the Democratic candidate
for Clerk, received S13 votes in Vine
land and Lands and Moore but 294
votes in both Vineland and Lands, a
difference of 519 votes. 1t would be
