SENTIMENT FOR RATIFICATION

There is much significance in the
Der of Commerce on the question OF
the League OF Nations, the result of
which is announced today. Counting
first and second choice in all cases.
there were twenty-five who favored
the ratification Of the peace treaty
just as 1t came from Paris with the
covenant of the League OF Nations
intact, while there We're the same
number who were wholly opposed to
the acceptance of the treaty as at
present written regardless OF what
reservations might be made. Thus
these two extreme ideas are bal
anced.
On the other hand, there We're
seyenty-three who voted either us
their first or second choice for the
ratification of the treaty along any
compromise lines that will command
the votes of two-thirds OF the senate.
while sixty-six were in favor of the
adoption of the Lodge reservations
as a basis for ratification.
The significant thing is the fact
that while only twenty-five were OPP
posed to the treaty in n form, 16t
favored ratification in some form and
of these, n~inety-five were against the
Lodge reservations.
The result of the vote in Perth
Amboy will go to Join the vote cast
in a similar manner by other Boards
of Trade and Chambers of Commerce
all over the country n the total
will be forwarded to the United
States senate to assist in enlightening
the members of that august body as
to public sentiment. OF course, the
sentiment has been expressed time
and again In the most unmistakable
manner, but partisan politics and
personal hatred Is playing such an
important part in affairs at Wash
fngton these days that 1t does not
seem to matter much what the
people think.

This Is not a fortunate day &C

morning. Neptune and the Sun are
adverse
1t Is q most unfavorable aspect for
army men who aspire to promotion
or to honors, but for ell others the

There is a most suspicious sway
for military organizations, especially
for engineers.
Construction of. all sorts is subject
to a lucky direction of the stars.
Many important buildings Will be

that becomes world famous, the
seers foretell.
During this rule the positive forces
are supposed to be very strong. but

They who seek support in any en-
terprise should not risk their
chances by approaching either the
| rich or the powerful today.
l. Netune is in a place supposed to
breed suspicion and to encourage
treachery.
This is not a happy day for any

and for this reason men foremost in

1t is not a lucky day for starting

Up TO THE ASSEMBLY

BY passing the Mackey resolution
suffrage amendment Monday night
the state senate has started New
Jersey on the road toward joining
what will without O doubt be two
thirds of her sister states In making
possible the participation of the
women of the entire country in the
coming presidential election. While
there is some opposition in the as
sembly to the suffrage cause, there
is good reason to believe that q ma
tority will be found in favor OF the
resolution when IL comes before that
body next Monday.
Only O. few states are now needed
to ratify the amendment to make 1t
a par of the federal Constitution
In fact, SO near are the women TO
winning their cause that the politi-
clans are beginning to take notice.
They realize that once two-thirds OF
the states ratify the amendment II
becomes a part of the Fundamental
law of the land and the women will
be able to vote for federal office in
every state regardless Of whether the
state has ratified the amendment or
not. Therefore, any party that acts
as a stumbling block to ratification is
apt to suffer at the hands of the
women voters when thoy get the bal
lot. With an important presidential
election on hand this fact cannot be
ignored.
But there il no legitimate eason
why such women who desire TO vote
should not do 50. The argument that
there are thousands who either are
Indifferent or do not care TO partici-
pate In the elections is to beggar the
question. The same thing might be
said of the men, among whom are
many who do not have enough inter
est In the election to &c to the polls.
The fact thai there are thousands OF
women who do desire to participate
In the election. women who are
highly intelligent and fully capable
of exercising the right of franchise,
many of them property owners and
heavy taxpayers, is reason enough
why the right to participate In the
government in the most direct way
should be given to them.
New Jersey has always been back
ward in accepting new ideas in gov
eminent. Practically every amend
ment hat has been adopted to the
Constitution has been adopted IN
spite of the opposition of this state;
New Jersey has been forced 10 &C
quiesce through the action Of her
sister states. In this instance, how
ever, where the right Of women TO
vote is concerned, 1t looks as If New
Jersey was going to get in line. IT
Is up to the assembly and we DO not
see how it can shirk It's responsibility.

Helping Along.
Helping Along.

There are always many chances
to improve this vale Of tears, as a
delegate advances down the high
way of the years. There are bur
dens you might carry, to relieve
some weary jay. who would like
to rest and tarry, for a season, on
his way There are luckless gents
a~-plenty who are deep in divers
holes, and some kind words, nine
>or twenty, we'll might stimulate
their souls. Oh, some little
chunks of kindness bring relief to
those who sigh, and we walk In
moral blindness II we let a nance
get by. Just a pleasant morning
greeting, as we strut along u
way, to the citizen we're meeting
brightens up a fellows day. Just
a gossip with a kiddy as to school
she tolls along. In her tucker and
her MILDLY, fills her youthful heart
with song. oh, a mug that's al
ways pleasant, with a f1ve-by-four-
teen smile, makes the future and
the present seem to Jaded gents
worth while We can make this
world a daisy as we toddle to the
tomb, II we're not too ALTERED lazy

On Genius.

Genius gets the worlds praise be
cause Its work is a tangible product,
to be bought, OF to be had for nothing.
1t bribes the common voice to praise
1t by presents of speeches. poems,
statues, pictures, or whatever it can
please with. Character evolves its
best products for home consumption ;
but, mind you, 1t takes a deal more to
feed a family for 80 years than to
make a holiday feast for our neigh
bors nee or twice.-Holmes.
