of problems touching sex, instead
of PIRATES bloody on red and siippy

DISAPPOINTMENT TO BE EXPECTED.

with the converting Of the legislature today
coverpor Edwards will soon be sending names
to the senate for the various appointments that
he has to make. New Jersey is one OF the rev
states where the great majority Of state omces
sr. filled by appointment. The object is to
eliminate politics Is far as possible In nnins
these positions, especially those positions that
have to do with the courts
N Is a matter Of no little concern. therefore.
"a ana the Democratic organization taking
active steps to make the appointment Of pros
ecutor in Middlesex county a purely political
matter. Prosecutor Stricken. who is a candi-
date for re-appointment, has an excellent rec
ord both as to ability and fairness. As far as
politics 90, he is of the same party as the gov
ernor and has served the party well In times
past, but. to his credit be it said, he has never
permitted politics to interfere with the faithful
performance of his duties as prosecutor.
This. is seems, is the reason certain politicians
are against his re-appointment. They want to
use the once of prosecutor for partisan pur-
poses; when they make a promise that certain
parties will be taken care of should they get in
70 trouble. they want to be able to make good.
II appears that Prosecutor Stricken refuses to
play the game that way: he will not receive such
5~ictation from those looked upon as political
bosses. hence they are after his scalp
We do not believe that Governor Edwards
desires to inject politics into the courts OF the
state. A man who stands high enough in the
estimation of the people to be elected governor
surely Is above such narrow. petty, partisan
stun.
The only thing that can be brought against
Prosecutor Stricken by those opposing his re-
appointment is the very thing that recommends
him most highly to the people of the county,
and, lacking any other charge. 1t should be the
very thing that would assure his disappointment
by the governor.
Naturally, the governor would want to see
a good Democrat in the office, but not for the
purpose of using the office for partisan purposes.
For the governor to refuse to re-appoint Mr..
Stricken because Of his refusal to allow the office
OF prosecutor to be used for political purposes
would be q signal for prosecutors all over the
state to 20 the limit in playing the political
game. Justice would be thrown to the winds.
Governor Edwards surely does not want such
4 record for his administration. Mr.. Stricken
/, 4 county prosecutor who has made good;
he holds the confidence of the people. His re-
appointment by a Democratic governor is nat
urally to be expected.

rHE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Governor Edwards has some excellent recon-
mendations In his message that was read before
the legislature which convened today. 1t is to
be feared. however. that any recommendations
he may make. no matter how good they may
be, will be treated by the legislature in about
the same way that a Republican congress treats
the recommendation of President Wilson.
The governor Is on much safer ground In
advocating more liberal laws for Sunday OBJ
servance than he was in the attitude he assumed
regarding the prohibition issue. The so-called
blue laws are dead beyond resurrection and

The school has not been opened for
two years and is badly run down. The
