JOHN MITCHELL
STRONG FOR SUFFRAGE
Women Use Ballot For Chill
dTen'S Good.

John Mitchell, formerly president OF
the United Mine Workers Of America
and now chairman of the Industrial
Commission Of New York, repeatedly
asserts his belief in the efficacy of the
woman's vote and believes that every
worker with a vision must be con
vInced that the industrial problem by
and large cannot be solved until all Wo-
men vote. He said recently:
"The organized workingmen have
been practical and earnest advocates
of woman suffrage for nearly quarter
Of a century. and 1t is safe to preuc'
that the organized wage earners VIII
continue their advocacy of equal SUI
frage until this fundamental right and
Justice shall be secured to the women
of every state in the American Union
"Workingmen are advocates of equal
suffrage, first, because 1t Is r1gnt thaf
all who bear the burdens and enjoy
the protection Of government SHAH be
entitled to equal participation In the
affairs of the government; second, be
cause they know In a vital way that
without the ballot wage earning WON
en- are unable to protect themselves
against wrongs and the unnecessary
hardships incident to and connected
with our marvellous industrial devel
opment.
''Rut quite apart from economic and
Industrial consideration women should
be enfranchised because it would be to
the best interest Of the people of the
whole nation for women, with theif
finer moral perceptions, to participate
actively in the affairs Of the govern
ment. Whether women would exer-
else on all occasions greater tntelli
gence than men | am not prepared TO
saw. nor is this necessary to assert but
I believe that upon all great moral
questions affected by legislation, upon
questions involving education. the pro
lection Of children. the promotion of
health and such other matters. the
majority Of women are better qualified
than the majority of men to vote wise
ly and independently"

LINE Treatment
In tuberculosis

In the May rs, 1917, issue OF the
journal of the American Medical As
sOciutiOn appeared this statement
concerning calcium (lime) medica-
ton in the treatment of pulmonary
tuberculosis tconsumptiOn);
"UDder the systematic, continued
and persistent regime of calcium
assimilation, Van GiesOn has seen
number of his patients improve, un-
derSO an emulation or partial con-
solidation in the lung, which then re-
solving would appear to contribute
to the walIing off and closing of the
LESSONS. Hand in hand with this
course of events, the sputum clears
up of tubercie bacilii, which finally
disappear, and the patients are dis
charged with healed pulmonary tu-
berculOsis."
Ethical medical journals seldom
speak so positively about remedial
agent, yet this testimony comedies
with that from many consumptives
through the use of Eckman's Altera-
tive
Since calcium is a constituent of
this remedy for pulmonary tubercu
losis and allied throat and bronchial
affections, its healing power may in
some measure be attributed to the
manner in which this element is so
combined with other ingredients as
to be easily assimilated py the aver
age person and 1t does not irritate
the stomach.
Eckman's Alternative contains no
opiates, narcotics or bit-forming
drugs so 1t Is safe to try. If your
druggist is out of it, ask him to
order, or send direct to
Eckman Laboratory, philadelphia.

THE PPI1tARIEs INDICATED.

THE Pl.lNiAhIES NINDICALbD'
The result of the election yester-
day is a complete vindication for tho
direct primary. While w. Edwin
Florance, who had the Endorsement
Of the Democratic organization, was
nominated for senator on the Demo-
cratic ticket, the wonderful run
made by Assemblymqu Quinn for the
senatorial nomination shows that
the voters in any party are inde-
pendent enough to express their
preference without regard to what
the party leaders may say.
AS a matter of fact, the result in
one sense may be considered a de-
feat for the organization. 1t was a
"favorite son" vote from the begin
ming, New Brunswick standing al
most solidly behind the man from
that town while the Amboys ran up
big majority for the man from this
city. Apparently the fact that one
of them had received the iudorse
ment of the organization while the
other was opposed, made little i'm
preston on the voters. Every year
the voters become moro and more
independent and with the direct
primary law it is possible for a man
to still remain loyal to his party and
yet express his preference regardless
( Of what he may term party dictatioa
Taking the results as they are, we
believe that the Democrats have
selected the best man for their can
didate for senator and when it comes
to the general election we believe
that the choice made by the party
will be vindicated. Mr.. Florance IS
in every respect a highly capable
man and will represent the county
in the legislature, should he be
elected, with dignity and honor. He
is without a doubt the best candi-
date now before the people Of
MiddIesex for the Office and as the
voters become better acquainted
with him we believe his strength will
grow.
Mr.. Florance was nominated by a
majority of those interested enough
to vote in his party and is entitled
to the full support of that party at
the general election in November.
He will also poll many Republican as
we'll as large number of independ-
ent votes as his superiority as a
candidate is evident.

TIME FOR A REPORT.

The Board of Freeholders have
made marked Improvements IN the
road in the vicinity of the hole-in-
the-wall, but there is much work yet
to be done. The road approaching
the "hole" on the MechanicsvilIe
side has been put in first class condi-
ton and the hole" itself has been
made passable, as far as it is posi-
BILE to make it. The road on the
South Amboy side of the hole" is
in deplorable shape, but no money
ought to be spent on it until 1t can
be Strengthened so az to afford a
direct approach to the ''hoIe." giving
a clear view through it from both
directions. The Strengthening IF this
road ought to be a comparatively
easy matter and it is one of the most
necessary features in connection
with the improvements at this spot
In the meantime let the county
engineer hasten his plans for alteTa-
tions of the passageway under the
tracks 50 that the freeholders can
take the matter up with the railroad
officials as soon as possible. 1t will
take several months to make the
necessary changes even after the
negotiations are completed and
Middlesex cannot afford to go
through another season carrying
such disgrace as we have suffered
this summer.
The freeholders must not think
that they can escape full RESPONSE
bility by shifting the blame for any
delay upon the shoulders Of the
county engineer. We realize that
the engineer must be given sufficient
time to do the work. but such m
important matter as this should be
given preference over much of the
routine affairs of the office. so that
1t can be turned out quickly. The
taxpayers are not going to be salts
fed with the excuse that the county
engineer is working on the plans
and nothing can be done until he
reports. The problem to be solved
is not such difficult one but what
the engineer can complete his task
within a few weeks time and as he
has had several weeks already to
work on the matter it is about time
to hear from him.
The road between the Amboy
bridge and Keyport is notorious, not

began to pun smoke across the confer
