WHERE THE OLDER
SISTER MUST FIRST
SECURE A HUSBAND

Among nations, as a rule, customs
differ, and probably the most interest
ing and weird of all customs are those
which have vogue in the Orient. In
turkey, for example, there are many
customs which Europeans or Ameri-
cans would, and do feel to be unneces-
sary and inconvenient. For instance. in
turkey, it is common for the more
Wen to do men TO have as many wives
as they desire. At least the majority
OF them keep their harems as an En-
Bnshman or American keeps his stable
One OF the most inconvenient Gus
toms practised in Turkey is that re-
sarding the marriage Of daughters. In
the event of there being two or more
daughters, until the elder is married.
the younger has to suffer single bless
| edness. Even should the younger
daughter have been the ecipient Of
many beneficial offers II the elder
daughter is still unmarried, then she is
| not at liberty to accept them
To cite an instance: Jeneka's hand
has been asked in marriage by Prince
Luis Muldova, an dalthough her father
is DESTROYS that she should marry this
imperial sutton, which may perhaps in
! fluence affairs of state, he strictly adj
heres to the customs of his country
ana refuses to give his consent to the
unity, even though state affairs suffer
Turkey is noted for it's severity OF
customs and the man or woman who
departs from customary procedure IS
i ostraciZed and considered by his fell
low countrymen and women more OF
less renegade.
Built up on this custom has beer
written the most farcical story, The
Slim Princess" in which Mabel MOI
mand has ever appeared. In her en-
deavors to get married thereby leav-
ing her younger sister free to entel
into the holy state of matrimony, sht
uses all sorts of devices and recon
mended medicines for the purpose o
becoming Of sufficient proportions t,
draw towards her the admiring gaze o
the youth of Morovenia. These at
tempts and her antics, all for the SAX
OF her younger sister, give Miss Nor
mand the greatest facilities to revea
her comedy ability, Of which she take
full advantage.

TWO GOOD yETOES.

The 1aw-making mill has no"
reached the stage where the cover
nor takes an active hand. Bills nav
been slowly passing through the hop
per Of the legislature and they are
noyv PASSED on to the governor for his
approval or d%isapproval.
Two important vetoes were sent 10
the legislature yesterday. The meas
,res that failed to meet the approval
of the governor were the Plersoh
election revision bil-that vicious
measure that would restore the party
column to the ballot-and the Dill
creating the Port Of New York Com
mission. The governor gives sound
reasons for vetolng these two bills
and the legislature would do well to let
4hem die instead of trying TO pass
them over tho governors head.
The election revision bill, as has
been pointed out before was passed
largely through deception. It robbed
the people of many of the advantages
20 be derived from the present Geran
election law, making Independent Not-
ing more difficult and removing safe
guards about the present ballot that
holm keen the elections fair and
honest. The governor has rendered a
good service to the people by Netoihs
the Pierson bill.
ks for the Port of New York Com
mission, we think the great majority
will agree with the governor that the
object Is a worthy one and that the
port of New York, includ-
ing both sides OF the haroor
should develop together, yet the cities
that are to be included in the port
as defined in the bill, ought not to be
forced to accept such an important
matter blindly.
Perth Amboy is vitality Interested IN
the project as is all the Raritan dis
trlct because the jurisdiction or the
proposed port commission would ex-
tend to all the Raritan bay section II
IN the Raritan river as far as New
brunswick.
The governor is entirely right In
stating thai the municipalities involV-
ed should have an opportunity to con-
slider the plan that IS proposed ana
voice their objections, If they should
have any.
In vetoing these two bills the gov
ernor has acted for the best interests
of the people and of the state Ihere
ara still more bills to be passed upon
by him that deserve the fate-ef these
two.

THE SPRING COLD.

To be a cheerful sunshine bard. I'd
like to croak about despair, and
real on my hind limbs and swear;
but habit is a wondrous thing, and
so I dance around and sing. My
head Is clogged, my eyes are sore,
and every breath sounds like a
snore; I'm full of fever. and my
brow feels like an old Dutch oven
now. and men would say I had
cuse If 1 should rant and raise the
deuce. But habit has me in its
grip, and so l sound my cheerful
yip. For years I've piled this sun
shine stunt, and kept a smiling face
In front, and now. when I would
make lament, 1 cannot do 1t worth
a cent. I'm feeling punk and tough
as sin, but every groan ends in a
grin. And this, my friends, me-
thinks should teach that whole
some habit Is a peach. I'm glad l
learned when I was young to leave
the doleful dirge unsung. and han
glad ditties, span and spick, till
some one hit me with a brick, to
push gay ballads through my

THE PRIMARY VOTE.

With sample ballots for the pfesi-
primaries now in the hands of
voters, some idea may be had of
is expected of the average party
man on Tuesday of next week.
At the top of the ballot is a place
to expires your choice for President.
BY p%etitioning the secretary of state
on or before April 1 the name of any
candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation can be printed on the ballot.
No one saw fit to file any such petit
ton in the Democratic party so that
at the top of the Democratic primary
ballot there is merely one blank line
with a square opposite the line. The
Democratic voter is privileged to write
in .on this blank line the name of any
man he would like to see get the nomi-
for President In the Democratic
party. After writing in the name, be
it Edward /. Edwards. William G.
|McAdoo. A. Mitchell Palmer, Thomas
r.. Marshall or any other n of the
numerous names mentioned as the
democratic presidential candidate this
fall. be sure to put an X in the
square at the end of the line on which
lyou have just written the name under
the words. Choice for President"
But while the Democrats have not
seen fit to have any particular candi-
dates name placed on the ballot. those
who will vote the Republican ballot
find two names printed thereon. These
names are Leonard Wood and Hiram
lW. johnson. Both these men are
making an active canvass for the
nomination and, through their or
foundations in this state. they had their
petitions duly filed to have their
names placed on the primary ballot
This, of course, gives them a decided
advantage over any of the other candi-
dates who are in the field.
But under the names of Wood and
| johnson is to be found a blank lint
upon which any voter who favor:
neither Wood nor Johnson may write
1.-The name of the man he does favor

opposite the name he has written

DAY MAY 4.

Many good ideas come put OF
kansas. For one thing. Kansas is ex-
ItremeIy American and. naturally. the
state has q real red-blooded Ameri-
can for a governor. Henry J. Allen
lis his name and he Is a mar who is
well worth watching.
one OF the latest ideas Of Governor
Alien IS 10 declare May 1 American
Day" as an antidote to the Red
movement that has been imported
from Europe In recent ears to make
the first day OF May the occasion for
all kinds Of radical demonstrations.
This action on the part of Cover
nor Allen has attracted nationwide
attention and universal commenda-
Commenting on this latest idea
from Kansas the Philadelphia Public
Ledger says:
Governor Aliens Kansas proclama-
ton designating Saturday, May /, as
American Day Is already receiving
tho nattery of imitation in various
parts Of the country. The scheme
indeed. IS so simple that one wonders
il has not occurred to executives many
times in the past. The effort to make
Nav Day here reflect the spirit of the
revolutionary movements abroad.
which Ions before the war gave the
May-Day riots and strikes a red tinge
all over Europe. has already taken a
and a mischevious turn and
tone which assumed falsely that
workmen could not secure
any redress. save along the lines SO
beloved of radicals in the old world.
Governor Allen is quite right in
believing that the way to meet the
challenge Of the Red who would
seize upon any occasion or my day or
date to give their revolutionary plots
a dramatic advertisement is to cut the
ground from under them by organic
ing a demonstration In favor-of the
country and its institutions. His
designation of May 1 as American Day,
when the people will be given an op-
portunity to demonstrate their Ameri-
.eanism and their determination to up
hold the government against the
vicious assaults of an organized group
of radical agitators and International
lists, neither Classics, stlgmatizes nor
lndicts any citizen as hostile to the
state unless he wishes to so classify
himself.
The man who does not believe in
celebrating American Day. however,
convicts himself, and the way in which
the Governor of Kansas has planned
this very simple method of separating
the sheep from the goats, through
celebration that no one in his right
mind can object to. may we'll be
recommended to executives in other
states"
