Bowed 10 the Bosses

Newark Evening News.)
Unless some citizen, or group OF
citizens. Is sufficiently dissatisfied with
tho action of the Legislature IN pass
ing tho Pierson election bill over Gov
ernor Edwards veto, to AXE the new
into court. the voters OF New Jer-
sew will have foisted upon them the
party column ballot from which they
escaped under the Wilson admins
tration In 1911. There never was q
more abject surrender by supposed
representatives OF the people to de-
mands of party machine eader IMAM
that shown in the Senate and House.
The bill that Is now the law was
introduced IN the Legislature under
false pretenses and vas bolstered up
by actual untruths. 1t was drafted
bv the State Chamber of Commerce
to meet the desires of both Republic
can and Democratic machine leaders.
Il is plainly unconstitutional
Il "a drafted 80 that Independent vot-
ing would be checked, the formation
of new parties would be made m
possible, all the advantages OF posi-
ton on the ballot would be given
Republicans and Democrats, and n
heads OF the state machines would
be placed in absolute control of the
naming OF election officials.
A~ssemblyman pierson a accepted
complete responsibility for the bill,
with ell OF its unfairness n even
Injustice. but he cannot give the
measure responsibility. 1t was born
with a shady reputation because or
the untruths told by those who pre-
pared the statement that accompan-
led II as an argument for dts passage.
II lost all vestiCe of responsibility
! when It was found necessary to amend
1t more than 81 hundred times in order
to correct the blunders of its drafters.
Even it's sponsors in the Legisla-
lture had to admit on the floor that
they did not know what 1t contained.
Senator Pilgrim, who piloted the bill
through tho enate when Senator
Runyon refused to support the mon
~strosity, said he would be unable to
answer any questions by members as
to tho contents of the measure,
But both Democrats and Republic
cans who were slaves to party ma
chine leaders knew that the patr7
lcolImn was what was wanted by the
Board OF Guardians and by James r
INugent. and it was because of thii
knowledge that the bill went through
and was repassed over the veto o.
the Governor. No heed whatever
was given to the warnings by Sena-
tor Whitney. a Republican, and As
semblyman DeNoe. n Democrat, as Z
the doubtful" features OF the bill
Senator Allen. the majority leader II
the upper branch. said there had been
ample time for full consideration O
tho terms of the bill, but he knows
that such consideration was not giver
u. What he did know, and wha
those who gave their support TO tn
bill also knew. was that orders hat
been sent to make independent voting
as difficult as possible, and those or
ders were carried out to the letter
With the political situation as con
fused as II Is In this Presidential year
it is likely to be discovered hat thu
leaders ~overplayed their hands in thu
game. The recent primaries indicate
that the independent voter object
strenuously to being controlle,
against his will.

No matter how homely and hope
less looking he may be, you can't keep
a man from believing that at least W.
three women are stuck on him.
Many a young married man has dis-
covered that Eugenics won't Keep u

The Gypsy Moth and the Boil Wee

|Humbug.
You can't walk on the same side OF
the street with a snippy Princess with
out giving her he idea that you are
lChasing her. 81.
Anyway, a wife would rather admit
THAT she Is wrong than admit ina hel
husband is right.
You might be able to get a girl 70

never get her to fasten her waist Ut

II q man has four ~overcoats he

the same as ever. and we know
not how soon h time may come
when they VIII DO called upon to take
M a much greater burden Of service
to humanity.
There is now no question as to the
part the Salvation Army plays In this
work. Last year the army decided to
abandon tho time-consuming tam
BOURNE collections" In order to re-
lease its workers for the kind Of SER
vice they are especially trained to per-
form. A Home Service Fund was
created. on the plan Of going before
the public once a year to obtain the
wherewithal to carry on the work dur
ing the following year and expand 1t
rs the needs might require. There is
now danger that the appeal may be
COMPOUNDED with the ordinary drive"
No n should hesitate to give to the
salvation Army. 1t Is a duty to give.
because the work It is doing must be
done and cannot be so well done. or
so economically done, by n other
organization now In existence.
Perth Amboy. In particular, owes
much to the Salvation Army for the
handsome building it has erected In
this city and tho great work 1t Is do
ing IN caring for the stranger who
comes here without friends and with
out money The army Is not con-
tinually shouting about what It Is do
ing but a little quite investigation
would o % convince anyone as to the
worthiness Of the cause. To the boys
In uniform the Salvation Army head
quarters in Perth Amboy has been a
Iveritable home especially since the
war when special war activities have
ceased.
The appeal for the Home Service
Fund will be made during the ten
days from May 10 to 90. Perth Am
boy certainly should be prepared to do
its full share in this noble work.
