To Work or to Jail

New Jersey has been added to the
number Of states which propose to
discourage idleness under the penalty
Of the law. The genius OF the New
Jersey statute is found in the pro-
vision that mere ability to support
ones self is not accepted as an ex-
cuse for unemployment in some pro
ductive occupation. 1t is not a vag-
rancy statute. but war measure.
Governor Edge In his proclamation
calling for the enforcement OF the
law. reveals his grim earnestness.
While the bill was pending in the
legislature It was but the butt OF u
good many jokes. The humorists
suggested that the idlers who took
the air at Atlantic City in wheel
chairs might be forced to carry knit
ting in their laps to guard against
arrest But the Governor takes the
point from the joke by enunciating
the plain principle that the selective
service principle will govern. Men
will be required to do mems work
and do 1t daily
There are" says the Governor,

be competent to handle tasks which
would be impossible for slackers OF
the hobo type. Sound judgment must
be employed in the experiment to rid
the human hive of It's drones"
So the State department Of labor
has been called upon to obtain the
kind Of work suitable for spec'r'
cases. 1t Is a tremendous admins.
tratiye task. but perhaps not hope
less one. The experience OF New
Jersey will be. watched with especial
interest because It Is the richest state
thus far to try to enforce anti-loafine
Legislation. The farms and indust ries
