WHAT THE BRIDGE NEEDS

THE Mulberry street bridge is as
good as when it was built, ex-
pert engineers who have in
spected it say. That was to have
been expected. 1t would have been
a great disappointment if any de-
fects of construction had been found
in the handsome structure. But with
all its strength and beauty the bridge
needs some attention. A curb twelve
TO sixteen inches high at least should
be built between the roadways and
the sidewalks. Several fatalities have
occurred because of the failure of
the designers to provide this form of
protection and at it's earliest oppor-
tunity council should furnish money
for the improvement This fault has
been pointed out so repeatedly that
some day the city will be saddled
with a suit for heavy damages if it
is not corrected.

A GOOD EXAMPLE

"HE knights of Columbus in
State convention here yesterday,
by crowding three days busi-
ness into one and doing away with
the usual social functions, set a good
example for other organizations.
This is no time for frivolity and it is
a time for concentration of effort.
The Knights OF Columbus have dis
played their patriotism in many ways
since the war began. They have
raised hundreds of thousands of dol
lars among their members for the
care of soldiers in the field and the
centers of social activities they have
established in the camps have been
a relief to the crowded Y. NJ. c. a.
''huts," as well as greatly extending
the war work of which the associa-
ton was the pioneer. The breadth
and spirit of their effort is TO be
judged by the fact that their camp
centers are not for members only,
but are open to all soldiers.

HOPE DEFERRED

new German electoral re-
form bill is one which keeps the
- word of promise 70 the ear while
breaking it to the heart.
Manhood suffrage is nominally
proposed in the measure which the
Kaiser's ministers are trying to push
through the Reichstag, but as a mat
ter of fact it is so hedged about with
provisos that the Junker element
will be able to retain substantially
all of the advantage which they have
through the existing system of plural
voting. The one thing which all stu
dents of German politics know is
that genuine electoral reform in the
Empire means the overthrow of all
the tendencies in the government
which led to this war.
The present ruling group know
this better than anyone else; AMI
they will delay and falter to the last
minute. They will seek, as in the
present instance, to make use OF
halfway measures. But at the last
they must succumb.
The one sure thing in all the " ell
ter in which Germany now finds it.
self is that a new Germany will cne
day be born.

One Stump Speech Too Many

From the New York Worldi
When Speaker Clark in mis- speech
at Fort Wayne appealed for the cleo
tion of a Democratic Congress next
November, he did what ne could 10
make party the foremost issue of the
campaign. BE did this, furthermore,
in face os his own staten ent that
In the House there has been little
evidence OF partisan politics since
the beginning of the war. Democrats,
Republicans and independents fra
ternize so thoroughly on war meas
ures that strangers sitting in the gall
lery find it difficult to distinguish be-
tween them"
Having testified in this way to the
harmony existing in the present
House of Representatives, in which
the two great parties are so evenly
balanced as to offer the greatest
temptation to political manipulation,
Mr.. Clark seems to have given the
best possible refutation of his own
argument, but it is to be feared
nevertheless, that his challenge will
be only too readily accepted on both
sides of the party line. In that case
the distinguished Democrat who
points out the evils of discord and the
vital Importance in wartime of
teamwork can hardly escape respon-
sibility for promoting the one and
endangering the other.
So far as the mighty task now con-
fronting the people of the United
States is concerned, it matters little
what political label a member~of
Congress may wear if there are no
sinister streaxs in his Americanism.
With a Congress made up of depend
able men, party would coun. for no
in AFsaC Claf NerFfN
when General Pershing's army is or
dered into action in France. Except
for a few mischiefmakers in both
Houses, that is the situation to-day,
and on no plea should it be disturb
ed unless for betterment.
Instead of asking the election of
Democrats and Republicans as such,
the only rivalry between candidates
should be in devotion to the cause
and the promise of helpfulness in
the national,service. There are DEM
ocratic as we'll as Republican, mem
bers of the present Congress who
competition of that kind, and every
one of them should be left at home.
Aside from all such obstructionists
and selfseekers, who deserve the
fiercest wrath of their constituents
the leaders of both parties have no
higher duty than, by united action
in the few districts where pro-Ger-
man and pacifist elements are pow
erful, to make impossible the cleo
tion of a single representative oi
those interests. II the Speakers ad-
vice is to be followed, there will be
no hope of such combinations. and
many blatant partisan, perhaps
even some notorious public enemies
will displace patriotic members.
Although Mr.. Clark has fittingly
recognized the value of nonpartisan.
| ship, his program is thoroughly anc
shockingly partisan. There ought no
to be another stump speech like hi.
while the war is in progress.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
TEACHERS, SALARIES
Q TIE Editor olt the Telegraph:

To the Editor o. the Telegraph:
We are hearing a great deal, and
properly so, about making the world
safe for democracy" and in that
task we each must take proper
share if we wish to be worthy sons
of our sires. But there is another
and equally large task looming up
in the near future and that is ito
make democracy safe for the world
The bulwark of democracy, and our
free institutions, is our public school
system. without schools democracy
would be a dire failure. Without
good schools the same would be true.
Without good teachers we cannot
have good schools.
If the teachers salaries are not
raised commensurately with the in
creased cost of living, we will lose
the best of our teachers. That can
not be a matter for argument. Men
and women with the training of our
public school teachers can get en-
ployment now, without trouble, at
decidedly increased salaries as COM
pared with those which they are now
getting. In many cases nothing but
LOYALTY to their profession and their
work is holding them in their posi-
tions. At such time as this we can
not risk weakening our public school
system and the necessity OF prevent
ing such weakening, by the loss of
high class teachers because of low
salaries, is evident. Teachers salaries
ought to be raised to meet the in
creased cost of living.
AS 1 have said before we cannot
have good schools without good
teachers and we cannot keep good
teachers if they are not we'll paid. l
am writing this for the teachers as q
profession, for whom and for which,
| have the highest esteem and re-
gard.
Signed,

BISHOP BERRY'S JOLT

TT there is one weakness in the
campaign for the ratification of
u the proposed constitutional
amendment prohibiting the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating
ftzuors, it is the see-sawing and lack
of cooperation on the part of asso-
Citations and individuals who ought
TO stand together as a solid unit in
favor of the amendment. Many of
the leaders of these various organi-
cations are responsible for these con-
ditions. They are the blind leading
the blind.
Notwithstanding the oft-repeated
injunction against a misdirected
campaign, these are still foolishly
advising their followers on the gu
bernatorial issue-which has moth
ing whatever to do with the fight for
prohibition. inasmuch as all the can
didates have declared in favor OF
the amendment-instead of concen-
tratlng their efforts on the election

PEDESTAL FOR P. NJ. G.

TH HE espionage bill having passed
let us recall that declaration of
the repudiated Patron Saint of
the Democratic party, whose political
teachings, apparently, have become
heresies in these days of the New
Freedoms" enlightenment: Error
of opinion may be tolerated where
reason is left free to combat it."
(Thomas Jefferson's Inaugural Ad-
dress). With the passage of the
espionage bill, the pedestal OF Lib
erty has been reserved for Postmas-
ter General Burleson, and the torch
of enlightenment has given way to
the spiked club.

OUTLAWING OUTLAWS

Senate having passed a bill
for the suppression of the 1.
W. W., it is to be hoped the
House will do likewise and the Pres
ident lose no time in signing the
measure.
The bill outlaws a parcel of scoun-
drels who have conspired for the
ruin of the nation. They are op-
posed to all law except their own
wills, and wherever they have been
active they have left a trail of ruin
and blood. They are the enemies
of everybody, even themselves. and
they must be eliminated even If the
only way should prove to be the
moose or the firing squad.

Conquest and Kultur

with regard to the east, the following con-
sideration must guide us: For the great increase
in industrial power which we expect in the west
we must secure counterpose by the annexation
of an agricultural territory of equal value in the
east. 1t is necessary to strengthen the
agricultural basis of national economy; to Sc
cure room for the expansion of a great German
agricultural settlement; to restore to our empire
the German peasants living in a foreign land,
particularly in Russia who are now actually
without the protection of the law finally, we
must increase considerably the number of our fell
low countrymen able to bear arms all these mat
ters require an important extension of the from
tier of the empire and of Prussia toward the east
through the annexation of at least some parts of
the Baltic, provinces and of territories to the
south of them, while keeping in view the neces-
sity of military defense of the eastern German
frontier. &
LAS to what political rights to give to the in
habtants of the new territories and as to what
guarantees are necessary to further German in
fluence and industrial life we will merely refer to
what have said about France. The war in
demnity to be exacted from Russia should to
large extent, consist in the surrender of terri
