SCHOOL VOTE
At JAMESBURC
Proposition to Build Addition
to High School is Voted
Down

JAMESBURG. March 30:-At one
OF he most exciting school elections
ever held in this vicinity the voters
Yesterday endorsed the crowded
condition of the public school by
defeating the appropriation asked
for an addition to the high school
building here. The appropriation
was defeated by a majority of four
teen votes, the opposition polling
seventy-three votes and those in
favor of the proposition hfty-nin2
votes. DR.. John l.. Suydam was
chairman of the meeting, john
Waddy secretary, Mayor Wyckoif
and j.. l.. Marryott tellers.
The opposition was led by EX-
Mayor Frank Jennings, who charged
that the present school board is cx-
travagant in the management of the
schools; that the present high school
is a playground rather than a place
of education; that the school board
discriminates in the matter of al
lowing children from out of the
borough attend full session. while
children of the taxpayers spend one
session in school and spend the
other playing marbles in the streets.
He objected to the taxpayers paying
the tuition of outside children,
claiming that if the school board
did away with the practice of caring
for out-of-town scholars there would
be no congestion.
Clerk Waddy, said that if the
school board did refuse to take out
Of town scholars, the conditions
would not be changed as far as the
ov~er-crowding is concerned. as
there are only eighty-three out of
town scholars in the grammar
school and these are 50 scattered
about the various classes that the
only solution to question is a new
eight room school. He pointed out
that the borough receives $4,000 as
tuition fee for these children and
this amount would pay all the ex-
penses and interest on a $4,000
bond issue. which. it is claimed is
necessary for the new addition.
There will be another election on
he matter within a period of two
Or three weeks.

ture on Human Behavior" this week
he said that while the perils of alco-
hol are great, 'the. prohibition atti-
tude toward life is one OF much
greater danger" Denying the indi-
vidual something he feels he should
have leads to mental or nervous
breakdown in many cases. Maybe
this explains the many reported in
stances of tipping by persons who
never took a drink until prohibition
came"
What is plainest in the whole puz-
zle is that the law is not being en-
forced. A majority Of the people of
this region have no great heart in
terest in it's enforcement. Many Of
them would like to see the bootleg
gers sent to prison for long terms
as dispensers of poison; but that is
only one angle of the situation.
The late King SOLOMON, as we re.
member his record, never was faced
with the job of enforcing Volstead
act or of deciding what percentage
OF alcohol made a beverage intoxi-
eating. Therefore his reputation for
wisdom has lasted through the ages.

Prohibition Incidents.

One of the most interesting Incl
dents bearing on prohibition occurred
in the United States District Court
in New York the other day, when
twelve men who had been impaneled
as a jury declared themselves pref
udiced against the way the Volstead
act IS being enforced" Evidently
without mutual agreement and with
out intent to escape jury duty these
men made it impossible for them
selves TO pass judgment on a man
who was accused OF selling a flask
OF whisky to prohibition enforce
ment officer.
This was a striking example of the
psychological effect Of prohibition on
large part of the race. These jurors
cannot be condemned as shirkers OF
duty: they may be praised, rather.
for being candid about their preiu.
dices. II they had concealed them
aud consequently had acquitted the
defendant they would have com.
mitted wrong. 1t is true that all
men are supposed to respect the law,
but prospective juror is permitted
to have his own mind regarding the
law or its enforcement. II this were
not true men opposed to capital pun
ishment would not be excused from
serving on murder juries.
One of tho jurors in this whisky
case declared that he and his coli
leagues believed that the law is too
rigid. On the same day a Grand
Jury in Brooklyn reported that the
illegal sale Of poisoned hooch" was
encouraged by the light penalties i'm.
posed in some courts. Apparently
there are as many points OF view
on prohibition and its enforcement
as there are labels for the stuff the
bootIeggers palm of as pre.war
whisky.
Rum dulls the vision. but prohibit
lion seems to confuse il Bit. FER
haps Dr. rArroN Of Princeton could
explain this scientifically. IN his lac.
