LEAGUE LIVES ON!

Despite the senatorial attempt to Kill
the League Of Nations that anti-war
and pro-peace aggregation of nations
lives On.
This is promising. If 1t can man
age to exist without the greatest of ma
tons, what will 1t grow to be when
the United States takes her place at
the council seat of the world?
The Rome meeting of the league
council made it evident that the league
is a healthy infant. 1t now has a per-
|manent capital-Geneva, Switzerland
President Wilson has bee asked TO
call a meeting of the leagues general
in some European city next
November.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that by
then the United States Will be en-
|leagued with other countries as peace
loving as this but unhampered by a
Senate that chooses to use the League
of Nations as a football in a backyard
political brawl.

To show their utter resentment for
such a system. the voters returned
to the White House with a
popular plurality Of $4,000 and an
electoral majority Of more than 100
at the next election.
We have abolished the ELECTORAL
College" in everything but name. But
without q constitutional amendment
we can't get q real direct vote.
The country will some day come to
real popular election OF presidents
when that happens. instead of the
men who vote in the minority In any
state being effectuslly d~isfranchised,
their votes will really count.
When that comes the vote of a Re
publican in Texas and a Democrat in
vermont will count in favor of their
candidates. Such votes do not count
now.

POPULAR VOTING.

Proximity of the Presidential cleo
ton again revives the need for reform
ing our present electoral system of Sc
lecting our national executive.
Any system in which it is possible
for a minority TO dictate its will sure
~ is out of place in democratic Ameri-
ca. Such a system is the electoral
college. not only In theory but in actua,
practice.
Twice in the history of the United
States presidents have been elected
who were not the popular choice.
Samuel j. Tilden polled a pluralit,
OF ESQ, 900 over Rutherford Hayes. bur
through a geographical iuke the lat
ter's minority vote Melted him ONT
more elector than Tilden. and In,
presidency.
In the case of Grover Cleveland
during his second candidacy. Benjamin
Harrison won the presidency. though
he had $4,000 less votes than cleve

MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL.

Perth Amboy has every reason to be
deeply interested in the success of the
|Raritan Terminal and Waterways As
ISOLATION. The main object for the
organization of this association was 10
promote plans for the deepening of
the channels I'm Raritan bay. its tribu-
taries and the Rarltan river to New
brunswick, and also to aid in the con-
struction of the ship canal across New
Jersey from Morgan to Bordentown.
We cannot imagine any project that
will do more for the advancement OF
IMiddlesex county than this work.
Perth Amboy in particular will be
benefited because this city is located
at the strategic point in the whole
'Raritan district. What benefits other
places must benefit us and. looking at
the matter from a purely selfish point
of view We have every reason to be en-
'thusiastic in backing the movement
now under way.
But we trust hat everyone in Perth
'Amboy will take the broadcast view OF
Raritan bay and river development.
1t is such a big project that 1t requires
the united effort of the various munich
palities interested II anything is to be
accomplished. Nature has provided us
with a broad and deep arm of the sea.
1t is within the great metropolitan
area OF the continent there Is no
lack of railroad facilities. 1t requires
but @ little development to make this
entire section, from Keyport on the
south to Port Reading on the north
and New Brunswick on the west, one
of the greatest ports on the American
continent. II not in the world. This
can be brought about through agita-
ton and cooperation.
Just at present nine directors are
to be elected in the Raritan Terminal
and Waterway Association. Ballots are
being distributed through the local
Chamber OF Commerce. Everyone en-
titled to vote should do so. At least
show two cents worth of interest in
the matter and the time 1t takes to
fill out the blank.
II the best interest of this COM
|munity is to be served the Raritan
and Waterway Association
will be made the most active civic or
.ganization anywhere in this vicinity.
