The Voice of a Jersey District.

The President asked the voters of the
seventh New Jersey district to show
their judgment with regard to the present
administration" They showed it yester
day, and expressed themselves adversely
by two to one. In a poll of 2l,UO votes.
the republican candidate received within
few hundred of a majority over all He
had more than two to one over his demo-
cratic opponent. who had less than w
votes more than the social candidate. The
bull mooser limped in with only some 800
to his credit in the entire district. In
word, the result was republican land
slide.
Several things contributed. We may
believe that the canal tolls issue was one.
That came in late, but in time. Ex-
pressions from the candidates were
sought. The republican declared for free
tolls, the democrat against.
But prior to and above that was the
tariff New Jersey is manufacturing
stronghold. and has repeatedly voted for
protection. The probability is that in
contest based exclusively on that issue
the state would vote two to one for the
American policy.
The Underwood tariff. while carrying
the first step in declared policy to
abolish protection as rapidly as possible.
Continued democratic control is conceded
to mean other tariff revisions downward
with no certainty Of check until ap-
proximate free trade is reached.
Evidently Jersey disapproves of such
procedure. Business in the seventh dis
trict, as elsewhere. is depressed, partly as
the result of the attack on protection. In
dustry is halted, as much by reason of
ed. and yesterday the voters, over
whelmingly. registered formal protest.
1t was expected, and it arrived.
To the extent that the tolls question
figures in the equation the effect must be
on the Senate. The House has voted:
and neither the new man from New
Jersey nor the new man from Massa-
chusetts-both against repeal-will count
on the question there. But senators-and
particularly those still balancing the
note the responses yesterday in two con-
gressional districts where the Presidents
tolls policy was submitted and in both
disapproved. Not only district normally
republican voted against him, but a dis
trict steadily democratic.
November is less than eight months
away. and a third of the seats in the
Senate will be in the scale on election

Safe and Sane Fourth.

With the yellow bells of Forsythia just
unfolding in some sunny and wind
screened spots, and with crocuses and
dandelions, jonquis and hyacinths just
blooming on the lawns, it may seem to
many persons a little early to discuss
plans for safe and sane Fourth of July.
But spring merSes quickly into summer
and when the days turn warm the
glorious Fourth casts it's shadow far be-
fore 1t is well to be forehanded in
matter of this kind. 1t is well to take
Time and the firecracker by the fore
lock The unsafe and insane Fourth got
long start of the reformers and is
ready to burst out and blow up again if
this reform is not persisted in. 1t re-
auires work and time to hold in check
this olden festival of gunpowder and
saturnalia of lockjaw. There are prob
lens to be solved. A plan of entertain
ment which promises diversion for the
populace must be sketched out and the
filing in Of the details requires weeks
of earnest effort by those publc-spirited
people who dedicate their energies to the
task. The expectations of the public
must be aroused and kept at a high
pitch to divert their thoughts from giant
crackers. torpedoes and numerous other
things which cause hurry calls for the
ambulance and set the fire engines run
ming.
There is something of the barbarian in
small boys and many men are small boys
grown up. so that it is necessary to keep
their interest centered on the safe ana
sane Fourth and to guard them against
the temptation of back yard pyro-

safe and sane Fourth which requires

difficult question of funds. 1t. has some
