RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason.
THE TRAMIPS

1 spend my quiet days and hours
where winter does no Whiting,
where in December gorgeous flowers
the countryside are tinting. Here
come the lads who have the price,
to dodge the beastly wealth
or of countries stocked with sleet
and ice, and ~snowdrifts stuck to-
gether. Here also come the TN
washed tramps: all day 1 see them
drilling: and lots of them are wick
ed scamps who'd knife you for a
shilling. They're passed along from
town to town by wise and thought
full coppers, who do not wish to
curry down so many thieves and
paupers. They're driven forth from
Punktown's gates by stern official
orders: that village wants no frowsy
skates within it's moral borders.
They're chivied out of Mudville
streets. the rural cops prevailing:
that hamlet wants no buns and
beats its atmosphere inhaling. This
is the system that's in force wher-
ever tramps may wander; and sell
fish seems such work and coarse
to shoe them there and yonder.
And so the hoboes ply their boots,
down all the roads. they trickle:
and some of them are calloused
brutes who'd shoot you for a nickel.
A trail of crime they're laying down
a record that's a beauty: and when
we've shooed them from our town
we think we've done our duty.

some such line here in Perth Amboy. Building
operations ought to be started as soon as the
weather becomes settled in the spring. 1t ought
70 be a most active summer in Perth Amboy
along this line.
There is another reason why it is desirable to
start active building operations as soon as pos
sible. 1t will furnish work. Work means wages;
wages mean money to spend: money spent
means good business. and good business means
prosperous times. Anything that can be done
70 stimulate building il therefore serving a
double purpose. 1t is so important in both re-
spects that it ought to receive the greatest con-
s,deratlon that can be given any subject at this
time.

I stood beside the enormous tele-
scope at Lake Geneva, and asked
Professor Frost, who pokes that
long inquisitive broomstick in among
the stars, what was the most inter-
esting fact which he had earned
out of his years of visiting among
the heavenly bodies. He answered.:
we are made of the best stuff in
the universe"
He showed me how it is possible
to isolate the light of a single star,
and by passing hat light through a
prism, to ascertain what chemical
elements are in a state of combus-
ton in that star. That seemed to
me almost too wonderful to be be-
lieved, but he convinced me that he
told the truth. The stars have not
all of them precisely the same
chemical combinations. But. he
said, very nearly all that is in any
of them is in our sun and hence in
earth; and he added, Most of
these elements are in our own
bodies"

THE DUST OF r

1--WE are made Of the best stun II

James oppenheim represents the
Earth as saying to man:
20, Mani If you could but kno"
what a glory you are!
Into your life went the fire OF h
Sun, my Star;
Into YOU went the millions Of ages
of me;
Into you went the millions Of ages
to bel"
We have much to remind us that
we are made of the dust of the
earth. That origin appears humbie
enough: but dust is stardust!
1t is something to know that even
our bodies are of celestial origin.
But it is even better to know that In
the aspirations of the human spirit
burns the passion of God. the eter-
nal hope and longing and prophecy
of all the good that shal pc on
earth. and all that shall make us

\ ELECTION LAW TAMPERING.

If would be too much perhaps to expect the
legislature to adopt the one particular plan that
would really solve the problem of congestion at
the polls on election day caused by the en-
reimbursement of women. ~Assemblyman Pier
son proposes, among other changes, to raise
the limit for each election district from 400 to
500 voters before dividing the district. Also
he would provide one booth at each poll Tor
ovarv 100 instead Of $50 voters. OF course, this
is going to help some, but no real progressive
business house or industrial concern would
adopt such a makeshift when there is available
a thoroughly modern and reliable devise where
by ali this cumbersome, inaccurate and anti
nuated method of counting could be done away
with thereby not only saving a great deal OF
time and expense, but assuring an accuracy in
the counting that cannot be guaranteed in any
other way.
Imagine a banking house where the number
of depositors had practically doubled greatly
Increasing the work Of the institution, insisting
upon doubling the number of clerks and hiring
more expert accountants to total up the figures
and do the bookkeeping when it is possible to
secure adding machines and bookkeeping ma
chimes to do the work of a dozen accountants
in one-tenth the time and with an accuracy
Ear more certain that man has ever been able
to handle figures. 1t would be ridiculous.
But the voting machine today, as it is used in
many up-to-date cities, is as quick, accurate and
economical in the handling of election returns
as the adding machine and the bookkeeping
machine is in handling the affairs of a bank or
business house. The only difference is the peo-
u - , .rhoIa ubo do fha voting are very
loath to adopt any change; they are adverse to
new ideas that will get them out of the beaten
path. They would rather put up with the extra
expense, the inaccuracies and Sn the delays OIL
a system they are accustomed to rather than
adopt something new and modern That would
he less expensive absolutely more reliable in
giving totAIs and that would give the result of
the ~election within a minute or two after the
rolls closed. AS the electorate goes on increas-
irg the longer it is going to take to count the
ballots. Are the American people going to be
content with waiting several days after an cleo
ton to know the result? The only remedy is
to adopt modern mechanical device.
II the legislature really wants to do some
thing worth while to solve the present election
problem, let it take up seriously the matter of
voting mochines and proceed to educate the
voters to their advantages. If this had been
done the previous time the voting machines
were tried out in this state instead of letting
political bosses shift them about in the most
aggravating manner thereby only arousing the
peoples antagonism which was just what the
bosses wanted, we would today have in use this
modern method of conducting an election to the
entire satisfaction of everyone and all the agita-
ton that arises every year over the form of
ballots and how to handle them would be elimi-
mated.
