MUCH ENCOURAGEMENT

With New Jersey electing a Democratic governor be-
cause he promised to do what he could to make the state wet"
the state has remained true to her reputation of being under
the domination of the booze interests. The "wets' may con-
slider it a great victory, but it remains to be seen how far they
can carry out their program.
AS gratifying as the result in New Jersey may be to those
opposed to prohibition, small consolation is to be found in the
returns from Ohio where the ratification of the prohibition
amendment by the state legislature was referred to the people
for their approval or ~disapproeal. The state, one of the most
popuIous in the Union, has gone overwhelmingly dry" If
anyone had any idea that, on second thought, the people would
reverse their previous action on the prohibition amendment the
result in Ohio must show them that prohibition in the United
States has come to stay.
But the opposition to Mr.. Edwards was not so much that
he was against prohibition as it was that he gave the people to
understand that he would use all the power and influence Of the
Office of governor to make prohibition Ineffective in this state
regardless of the Constitution of the United States or what the
federal authorities might do to enforce it.
In this respect, those who are disappointed that New Jer-
3y has not stood up fairly for the Constitution and strict obedi-
snce of The law, will find satisfaction in the great victory of
Governor Coolidge in Massachusetts,. There the issue of law
and order was clearly drawn resulting from the recent police
strike in Boston. It is one of the most gratifying signs of the
times and shows that true Americanism has not disappeared
entirely. As far as the result in New Jersey is concerned, it is
significant that it was the enormous vote of booze soaked Hud-
son and Essex that carried Edwards through. There is nothing
fattering in Mr.. Edwardss success. He will have a hard time
living up to his oath of office and at the same time satisfying
the element that lected him.

MIDDLESEX TAKES HER STAND

Middlesex is safely.in the Republican column as a result
OF yesterdays election. Not only did Bugbee receive a major
ity in this county, thereby disproving the claim that MiddleseX
is "wet," but a majority of the assembly delegation from this
county are Republican, with the added significant fact that the
high man on the assembly ticket, Appleby, Republican, is a
pronounced 'dry" man.
In addition to the majOrities for Bugbee and the assembly,
Middlesex also returned the Republican freeholders.
In fact, as far as the county is concerned, the only Demo-
cratic success is the reelection Of B. M. Cannon, as county
ton is not a political matter at all. He carried well known Re
publican districts as well as the Democratic s~rongholds, show
ing that the peop1e voted for the man in this Case and not for
partisan reasons. The same thing may be said of DeVoe who
.-@ae6 most thorough canvass.
OF the three high class men who represented Middlesex
county in the assembly last year DeVoe was the only one to
survive the election yesterday. Andrew J. Wight was nosed
out by a small plurality by @. Raymond Lyons. Kirkpatrick,
who completed last years trio, was not a candidate. Toolan,
who took his place on the ticket, was not SO well known and
went down with wight.
The men who catered to the booze vote in Middlesex have
had their eyes opened. There may be a small majority III the
cities for the "wets," but these small majorities are diminish
ing and the overwhelming majorities for the 'drys' in the
country districts are rapidly increasing.
From the standpoint of law and order, straight out and
out Americanism and the unfolding of the Constitution, Mid
dlesex has shown herself to be on the right side. The result
is gratifying, as far as this county is concerned to those
who maintained that the upholding of the Constitution and gov
ernment authority to be the paramount issue of this campaign.

THE CITY

Unless the talked-of recount on the part of the Democrats
Amboy's city government will remain in the same chaotic state
1t has been during the past year with politics predominating.
The results in the three wards where aldermen were
elected showed the present aldermen returned by substantial
maioritles. The only change is in the Alderman at-large where
John N. Wester, a Republican, succeeds Ira R. Grouse, who
also is a Republican. Mr.. Wester was elected by the slim
majority of three votes for the whole city. His run is consid-
cred remarkable, however, from the fact that this is his first
venture in politics and he Is not widely known in a political
sense, He is known by reputation, however, as a high class,
conservative business man, a man of firm determination and
honesty of purpose. That he should make such a run against
such an old and experienced hand in the political game as
William D. Voorhees, shows him to be a man to be reckoned
with in local politics in the future.
If the figures are allowed to stand as they are it means
Office. The average taxpayer who is more interested in cap
of this. The financial end of the city is particularly well handled
at the present time.
But whether Democrat or Republican and regardless of
the ability Of the individual, any man who tries to serve the
city at the present time is seriously handicapped by the anti
quated and cumbersome system of municipal government I'M
der which we are now working.
The only solution is the adoption of the Commission Form
of Government. Under the law Perth Amboy will have a right
to vote on this question any time after the first of January.
There is every reason to believe that the question will be laid
before the people again and that it will be adopted. Any at
TO upset the election result of yesterday, therefore, will
Ut. With the adoption of commission government
R2aaay will not hold office very long.

RIPPING RHYMES
The Crises.
BY WALT MASON

The Crises.
The crisis Of a year ago looks fabby, now its days are Ger;
but, oh, what fits we used to throw, when that cheap crisis mad
the foorl We viewed that crisis with alarm, it was a fright
full thing to see, it couldn't fail to wound and harm the bull
warks Of our liberty. 1t crBed around a day or two, and then
abjectly Topped the loop; another crisis doomed IN view and
called for walls and maudlin whoops. I've seen a hundred
crises come and rear themselves on end and go; I've seen my
~neighbors stricken dumb by threats of coming doom and woe.
And still our country joys along, and finds release from every
plight; and if a dozen things are wrong, about a million things
are right. Whene'er a crisis blows its trump, the rabbit heart
ed tear their hair, and say we're headed for the dump, in haste
but l refuse to scare. I've heard the cry of "Wolf" so long,
look on wolves as hotpoint brutes; no crisis can disturb the
song Of sane and joyous souled galoote. Bring on your crises,
one by one, or trot them forth in groups of eight; the optimist
will take his gun, and make the blamed things pull their
freight.
