RIPS EDGE UP THE BACK.

The governor is a pretty foxy politi-
clan. He knows that the vehicular
tunnel is not by any means suited to
the requirements of the problem OF
TRANSFORMATION across the Hudson riv-
or. He knows that the congestion ana
need for bridge connecting New
York and New Jersey is urgent and sec
ond to no other at any other point in
this country. He also knows that there
will be quite a 'howf' from this part
of Jersey when the people finally wake
up and realize that they have been
bought off with this most inadequate
tunnel under the river (of very little
benefit indeed) while south Jersey has
been given the bridge over the Della
ware, which is really most needed up
here And, knowing this, like all
shrewd, foxy politicians who seem to
possess the sole aim of foOling the peO-
pie, he is going around now trying to
''hoodwink" the people with this talk
about avoiding "sectionalism' in the
state. He is the person who is really
helping to create this "sectionalism"
and feeling of discomfort between diff
ferent parts of the state by refusing
(not failing, but REFUSING) to recog-
nize the needs of each particular sec
ton. When such a politician advo-
Gates a bridge over the Delaware in
preference to the bridge over the Hud-
son we don't have to ask where he
lives; it is easily seen that he comes
from south Jersey and is a sectional
governor"
We don't imagine that south Jersey
will protest very much against the tun-
mel under the Hudson, even though she
will not derive much benefit from it
(althOugh even at that she will derive
as much benefit as we will, which is
very smalD. No. governor; don't wor-
ry about south Jersey she will be sat
isfied she will probably laugh "up her
sleeve" WITH YOU to see how easily
the people 81 t1e state have been
fooled" and Modified by this new
'sectionalism stunt"
We fear that it will be some time yet
before we get the much-needed bridge
across the Hudson. Just now the cost
of such an acknowledgements less
than $100,000,0 00-appears to look pos
itively enormous to our governor and
to the legislature or others who don't
seem to be interested at this time. But
whenS the happy hour arrives, when a
quorum of these politicians who at
present infest the various branches of
our government find that they can de-
rive some real benefit from it "them-
selves" when all signs indicate plenty
of graft to make it worth while to
them, then we shall have the bridge,
even though it costs FIVE TIMES 100
MILLIONS and though four-fifths of
the cost is never actually spent for con-
structing the bridge.
And this is the man who will repre-
sent New Jersey in the United States
senate-Bergenfield Review.

"THEN AND NOW"

The New York World of last Sunday
presented an editorial entitled Then
and Now" which was parallel be-
tween the strength of the Forty-fourth
Congress and the SiXty-fifth. OF the
Congress of today the members are
cited as pygmies, of the FOrty-fourth
the presentation of the names of that
day makes one almost believe that
there were giants in those days. Of
this there can be little doubt But the
World draws terrible arraignment of
present day conditions in politics with
out in any manner attempting to offer
a solution. There is no doubt of the
fact that the people today are them
selves responsible for the lack of tai
ent in our present national legislature.
Whatever is the cause, something
grievous is the matter. The people are
Indifferent to the men that the pOliti-
clans choose to make our laws. Here
in the east especially the average citi-
zen feels it hardship to even go to
the polls to vote for the candidates let
alone to try and have a hand in their
selection We put the most Indifferent
scamps in our best offices, then Won
der that taxes go Skyward. The law is
evaded, crime goes unpublished, and a
general laxness prevails. This brings
it right up to the people themselves.
But who is to arouse the people?
Who is to go out and make a plea for
men of talent to take office? Is it the
greed for making money that takes
away all interest in government from
the average man? Something is radi-
cally wrong, as the World says. Per-
haps the charge that some European
critics have made that America is mon
ey-mad has dire meaning in it. But
with all of this mOney-madneSS, with
our ability to make millionaires over
night, the country certainly turned it
self into an equally great giving ma
chine in the war that carried with it,
too, a great scheme of home profiteer-
ing unprecedented. Can we change our
course? Do the present tendencies lead
| to grosSer evils? Does the weakness
of the men who make our laws today
presage a state of degeneracy that to-
morrow will undo all of the good of
the last two generations? In our adj
vancement towards material success
and supremacy have we Overstepped
the bounds? If so whence comes Om
power? Do we really lose by COMPARE
son merely because the big men of the
Forty-fourth Congress We're personally
| far and away ahead of the same class
of men today? Have we lost brains in
gaining power? What created the
force behind America that made it pos
sible for a four-months campaign to
destroy the German war machine of A
years in the making? The question is
difficult of answer. There is logic i'll
either thought. OF course the Worlds
thesis was based on the ill-cOnceived
prohibition act, which it claims is a
step backwards. Perhaps our moral
growth will lend an air of negative
meaning to the great newspapers wall
ings, which amount almost to positive
grief that men cannot longer be per-
mitted to make beasts of themselves
with liquor.

speakership thereby, virtually forced
the organization of the house when
they caused the Republicans to accept
their proposition, rendered the week
previous, of selecting the presiding Of
ficer by casting lots. Their man, NC
Ateer, was unlucky in the picking OF
the name from the hat, but their party
gained much prestige and praise for
forcing the Republicans into the open,
thus breaking the deadlock of four
weeks.

NEW JERSEY DEADLOCK BREAKS

The inwardness of New Jersey poll
tics is past all understanding.
The present session of the state leg
islature is a joke. 1t has taken over a
month to organize for work which in
ordinary circumstances would have oc-
cupied an hour-a day at furthest.
Owing to a remarkable tie in the
senate and house both parties We're
uncOmpromising. Neither side would
yield
And so the thing dragged along
through all of January and third of
February. Nobody had any plan where
by an equal division of the honars
meaning patronage sought could be
compromised or divided up.
The governor cracked his whip sew
eral times and called whoa, get down
to business" but get down they
wouldn't
And so these paid servants of the
people wasted six weeks and thou
sands of dollars because nobody was
willing to yield. And yield they
wouldn't-and didn't.
1t is we'll some one woke up at last.
In the wee sma' hours of Tuesday last
the Republicans got their man in and
the Democrats got their man in.
We fear that Governor Edge has lost
some of his power. He did not adjust
this deadlock, which he could have
done by proroguing the legislature and
sending it home-not about its bust
ness in Trenton.
1t is a good thing to wake up.

COMPLEXITIES OF PEACE.

The various complexities that have
developed in the Paris peace confer

front among some of the delegates.
This is a natural sequence because of
the many issues involved. Poor bleed
