WOULD CHANGE BALLOT AGAIN.

It is not surprising that we again hear OF an
attempt to change the ballot for the general
election so that the straight ticket can be voted
by simply marking a cross at the top of the
party column. That is what the party bosses
wanted last year when they got the party col
umn restored, but they hardly dared to go that
far in the face of public sentiment.
The Republicans have such an overwhelming
majority in the legislature this year. however,
that it may be thought a good time to take the
next step in carrying out the machine pro-
gram.
The ballots are not so long in New Jersey
but what any citizen can easily place an "X'
opposite the name of the various men he de-
sires to vote for. Rather, reduce the size of the
ballot. The voter ought at least to be able to
vote intelligently.
People are not so party-bound as they used
20 be. The recent overwhelming victory Of
Senator Harding was not entirely a party VIC
tory. Thousands of people voted for him who
are likely as not to vote the Democratic ticket
next time.
The people have a right to consider each
candidate for themselves. 1t may be said that
they still have that right even when the single
tx" will vote the whole party ticket. yet It is
we'll known that politicians can counter-act the
real independent voting when given half a
chance.
The party column has been restored and that
is bad enough. The ballot ought to be left as
it Is. at least. Better still. abolish even the
party column. Independent voting ought to be
encouraged rather than discouraged.

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason.
THE FAD

When something hurt our well
known dads. the doc prescribed his
pills. or liniments, Or liver pads. or
compound juice Of squills; but now
he'd take his saw or adze. to cure
us of our Ills. There was some
in being sick in brave old days like
those, for then the tired and foot
sore hick in illness found repose;
what time the doctor, summoned
quick, prescribed the proper dose. 1
often sought the, village doc, when 1
had ache or smart, and he would
give me pills of chalk that nearly
broke my heart: but W did this
healer talk of rending me apart. He
gave ten drops of melted wax
much virtue in 1t lies; and stuff that
tastes like carpet lacks, and pills of
giant size; but never did he shake
an axe before my shrinking eyes.
But now when to the doc / trot, be-
cause Of ache or pain, he prods me
in the tender spot, and says that
pills are vain; he wants to lay me
on a cot, and split my form in twain.
He says "Oh, thunder!" and "Oh,
pshaw!' when l old methods name;
he says there ought to be a law
against that ancient game, he wants
to take his cross cut saw, and push
it through my frame. 1 have about
a hundred ills and cannot have
them healed, because, while 1 will
swallow pills, l won't be sliced or
peeled; / won't be cured of mumps
or chflls by tools the surgeons WELD.

WOMEN IN PUBLIC OFFICE.

There Is one instance, at least, where condi-
lions are going to be greatly improved as a re-
suit of women entering politics. We have ref
erence to the Woodbridge poor farm. Whether
done as a joke or not, when the ticket was made
up in Woodbridge last fall it was found that
The Republicans had nominated all women for

This land which was decided to the township by

place while a large stove stood pipeless in the
center of the room cold and cherries. The best
furniture were a few nondescript chairs: win
dows were broken, the beds were deplorable and
the so-called "comfortables' were a misnomer.
Needless to say, these women went home duly
impressed with the responsibilities Of public
office. 1t also goes without saying that these old
men at the woodbridge poor farm will be pro-
vided with more comforts from now on then
shey ever dreamed existed. The women will

A CREDITABLE SHOWING.

1t is certainly a creditable showing that the
city treasurer makes in his report to the Board
OF Aldermen as to the financial condition of the
city. The gradual reduction of the municipal
debt is most gratifying. In indicates efficient
management and a careful handling of funds.
A city's credit under such circumstances is
bound TO be good.
To be able to reduce the city debt from SCI
per cent. in 1917 to SIT per cent. at the present
time, is all the more remarkable when we con-
slider the conditions under which we have been
living during the past few years.
The sinking fund, too, is shown to be in a
most healthy state. This important feature of
the city's finances is in capable hands; the re-
suits prove it. 1t is through this fund that the
city meets it's bonds as they fall due. Through
good investments and careful handling the fund
that only a few years ago was in a most de-
plorable state, has been put on a nrm basis
adding greatly to the prestige of the city in a.
nancial circles.
Never before, II is safe to say, has the city's
financial affairs been in better condition. No
little credit is due the city treasurer. the comp
troller and the sinking fund commissioners for
this most satisfying condition. The Board of
Aldermen, too. by keeping down expenditures
and by issuing only such bonds as are absolute
ly necessary during the past few years, are de-
serving of recognition. The temptation always
is to spend to the limit and as soon as one lot
of bonds is paid off to issue new bonds for some
thing else to take their place. This is a hand
to-mouth policy that is most short-sighted.
Nothing is to be gained in the long run by such
a practice.
Perth Amboy with a constantly reducing debt
but at the same time seeing a reasonable
amount of improvements accomplished each
year, is travelling along the right lines. Much
is due TO the calibre of men who are now hand
ling the city's finances.

THE POWER OF APPOINTMENT.

There was no hesitation on the part of the
senate to confirm the appointments of the gov
ernor in reference to the courts. Apparently
there was no fear of injecting politics into the
courts by permitting the governor to name the
Judges. The governor, it seems, is deemed
competent 10 name good men for the bench
OF course, the constitution says the governor
shall make these judiciary appointments, but
# must be done with the advice and consent
of the senate. The senate could hold up these
sppointments il it was felt the best interest of
the state would be served thereby. No question
was raised, however. The governors appoint
nents went through without a hitch.
When II comes to the appointment of a Pub
nc Utility Commission, however. there is at
once a hue and cry about politics. The Re-
publicans argue that the governor is not a At
person to make the appointments to this board
because of the politics that will be injected into
It. The Republicans would turn the appointive
bower over to the chief justice of the supreme
sourt. Yet the chief justice himself is an
pppointee of the governor. Strange. isn't it, that
= man who is appointed by the governor should
be considered better fitted to make other
appointments than the governor himself?
AS a matter of fact, the Republican senate
Is doing its best to prove to the people that the
Public Service Corporation has got 1t by the
Throat and is insisting that a Public Utility Com
mission be named that will be satisfactory to
Public Service interests. The longer the senate
continues to trife in this dirty business the more
convinced the people will become that the re-
port OF Public Service influence is true.
The governor of the state is the only one hav-
ing authority to appoint commissions; he always
has done the appointing and the constitution in
ricates that he should continue to do so. 1t is
ahe lowest, meanest kind of politics to attempt
10 take this power away from him no matter
10 which party he belongs.
