Politics was played to the limitwhen
the successor of the late Secretary Of
State was appointed. 1t was necessary
that new Secretary be appointed at
once. and Assemblyman Martin was
given the place. This was satisfactory
in most Democratic quarters, although
there was one faction of that party in
Jersey City that did not relish the APP
pointment. But no sooner had the new
official taken the oath of Office than he
cut off the head Of his predecessors assis
tant, and Job H. Lippincott, who had
been in that position, was compelled to
step down and outon moments notice.
This was not because Mr.. <Lippincott
had not been faithful official, but for
the reason that the faction which is re-
presented by Martin is opposed to Lip
pincott and the latter had to go. 1t is
said the successor to Mr.. Lippincott VII o
will be in charge Of the motor vehicle de-
partment, will give the matters that
will come to his attention the same
careful consideration that characterized
the acts of the man he succeeds.
ONE OF the measures being advocated
by the Legislature is bill which pro-
vides that no prisoner shall be tried by
the court on waiver Of indictment, but
must be regularly indicted, and that if
he is not able to employ counsel he shall
have lawyer assigned to him. This
measure is being fought by prosecutors
of the pleas in various counties, one Of
the reasons given being that its adoption
would entail great cost on the counties
Under the present method prisoner ar
rested one day may be brought into
court within short time after having
signed q waiver, and if he chooses to
plead not guilty he may be tried by the
court. Should he decide to plead guilty
the cost of jury, witness fees, and a
board bill at the prison are saved. This
seems like logic. In the many cases Of
this kind brought before the court {
this county the plea has been guilty, and
in nearly every instance the prisoner has
been guilty. but there have been times
when, if represented by counsel, he
might have shown different state of
affairs. In very recent case a man
man pleaded guilty on charge which
would not have been sustained by jury
and even the court remarked that there
was an element in the case to leave a
doubt on one or two of the specific in
stances. Under the present method the
prisoner is seen only by the prosecutor
of the pleas and it does seem as If some
provision should be made to let lawyer
know the defendants side and possibly
aid him. There could not be much OBJ
lection to this, as there is no disposition
on the part of any one to convict or pun
ish an innocent man. While the prose
cutors who are so strenuously objecting
to the passage of the bill may be actuated
entirely by their desire to save the coun-
ties money, it must not be forgotten that
waiver of indictment saves these officials
lots of work.

TUESDAY, APRIL ID, 1915


SMALL Boards of Freeholders are
again taking the attention OF the legis-
lators and there is bill pending to al
low the people to once more cast vote
for or against. AS this clause is in the
bill it will probably be passed, but it
seems nonsensical to adopt any such
measure. If anything beneficial is to
be accomplished the only method is to
make the measure mandatory through
out the state. The new law provides
that the counties shall be divided into
districts, thus preventing any one local
ity from controlling the situation but
even that will not make the measure
any more popular in some places than il
was previously.

Press Comments

If there is to be an investigation of
the charge of bribery made in connec-
ton with the passage of the osteo-
path bill, it should be thorough.
The probe should be driven deep, no
matter who may be pricked by it.
Newspaper publishers who sensation
allied the rumor of bribery, will I'M
doubtedly be willing to give the in
vestigating committee the evidence
upon which they acted. If they are
not willing to give it they should be
made to do so in the interest of hon
est legislation.
By giving publicity to the alleged
rumor of bribery, the newspapers have
created in the public mind a suspicion
that there has been double dealing
on the part of some of the members
of the legislature, and they have init
mated that Republicans are the guilty
ones.
The burden of proof does not rest
upon them, perhaps, but they ought
to unhesitatingly aid the probing COM
mittee in its effort to run down the
rumor and mark the men who are
guilty, if there are any such.
If there is no foundation for the
rumor in fact, the person or persons
who started it deserve the contempt
of every fair-minded citizen.
Let there be no whitewashing.--
State Gazette
A bill introduced by Assemblyman
Peacock few days ago in the House,
''by request" purports to be for the
purpose of providing for the COM
putation of population in cities bor-
dering upon the Atlantic Ocean un-
der the supplement which is hereby
amended, applicable also to all mu-
inequalities bordering on the Atlantic
Ocean"
That is not definite. 1t is intended
to change the excise law so that in a
small town in Ocean County more
licenses to sell liquor may be grant
ed than the town is entitled to under
the act restricting the number of sa-
looms to one for each five hundred of
population.
Therein hes story. The person
who requested Assemblyman Peacock
to introduce the bill is said to be Sena-
tor Mathis, of Ocean County, who was
one of the champions of the Gaunt To-
cal option bill; and he is said to be
acting in the interest of Majah Leon
Berry, a former Republican judge of
the county.
Berry, while on the bench, was not
altogether impartial in granting licen-
ses, but he acted in the open. This
attempt to get, through Burlington
County, something that Mathis and
Berry were ashamed to ask for direct
ly, has very suspicious appearance
in fact hypocritical.
There should be no tinkering with |
the 1918 law restricting the number of |
hotels and saloons to one for each five |
hundred inhabitants, and there is not
a town, township, borough or village"
bordering on the Atlantic Ocean that
needs second bar, if it already has /
one.
The larger resorts are taken care of
by the provision that the transient L
population, computed as of the first

THE "WHY" OF A "HOT BOX" !"
A Railroad Official Says the Cause Is
 Simply Carelessnass.

A Railroad Official Says the Cause Is Simply Carelessn>ss. .
 In answer to the question What is hot box?" Kansas City Southern of 6cial has the following to say:
 "A hot box is sign that the safety first rule is not practiced by some car department man.
 ''There is no excuse for hot box after d car is sent out if the train is carefully looked over by the car men at each terminal Primarily a hot box is caused by poor waste and an in sufficient 'greasing' at the time it should have been done. and there is no excuse for one. hot box is lia ble to cause wreck. and wreck on most railroads costs money, much more than the price of sufficient quantity of waste and oil and grease to protect the journals of the car wheels.
 '"rhe farmer who buys a new wag- on or buggy has pretty good idea of what hot box means and the ways to prevent it. When he buys a new wagon he sees to it that the spin dle is well greased so it will not get hot. He watches it closely and does not take any chances on the wheels running hot The farmers wheels on his new wagon or buggy would stick, and if he persisted in driving ahead he would soon have bad spindle and a bad wheel
 However, the results would not be so disastrous as they would be in train of cars running at speed of fifteen or twenty miles an hour It's no wonder that trainmen use language unfit for a Sunday school class when they find hot box in their train They know that some one has been careless and shirking in his work and that he is to blame.
