TIE PEOPLE ARE SKEPrIcAL

If is going to take more than platform promises by the
political parties to get the people to vote in favor OF the
$40 900. 900 road bond issue this fall. AT the present time the
patent pavement crowd have the state by the throat and
thousands of dollars of the taxpayers money are wasted on
ROYALTIES paid into the pockets of this combination because
If has a friendly board to award the contracts and no COM
petition is required.
The advocates of the bond issue point to the fact that
hofb political parties are pledged to enact a law providing
for omen specifications and competitive bidding and that
therefore the $40, 100000 would be used to the best advan-
4aoe But the people have been fooled on this issue before.
The Republicans, for instance, had a pledge in their plat
form last year providing for open specifications in road bid
ding, but the bill that was introduced to carry out this pledge
was killed in committee.
That it was killed deliberately was evident from the
fact that every effort was made to get it out;the party plat
form was referred to and when the proposed bond issue
came IN il was declared that the best way to assure its pas
sage was to first break the hold of the patent pavement trust
The legislators, however, decided otherwise. They seemed
to feel that the people wanted the highway system completedI
so badly that they would swallow the $4O,O0O,OOO bond is
sue regardless of the favorable position held by the patent
pavement interests.
Now the people want to be shown. They are not gong
to vote away $40, 0OO,0 900 blindly. They want to be assured,
first that the money is going to be spent for the best roads
possible at the lowest possible cost. There is no guarantee
of this as long as the present statutes are on the books and
The fact that the legislature failed to remove these statutes
last wear when the party in control had promised to do so,
causes the voters to lose confidence in any promises that may
be made this year.
In other words. let the legislature provide for open spe-
ei6cations and competition in road paving first and then the
people will gladly go the limit in furnishing funds to COM
nlete the highway system. New jerseys road scandal has
heeome notorious and it is hardly to be conceived that the
peopIe will deliberately vote to give the State Highway Go a.
mission $40, 900, 900 to spend as it sees fit under such con-
ditions as exist today.

GALL IN H MIND"

Heat your house for nothing by the Sing Sing method.
This famous prison decided to conserve coal by shutting off
the heat in daytime. A mighty howl went up from the in
mates.
''Too cold to work" they complained.
One of the prison engineers didn't agree. Instead Of fir
ing up, he sat down and began pounding with a hammer and
chisel on the steampipes. The noise, when it reached the con-
vcts, sounded like the knocking that takes place in pipes
when steam is turned on.
''That's better!'' they approved. "Gosh, the heat feels
good.
A few of the more imaginative convicts are reported to
have begun perspiring. All this time, Of course, the tempera-
ture had not changed, and the furnaces were cold.
Around Sing Sing they're kidding now about '~psycholog-
ical heat" A good name for it. You may have observed that
a room seems suddenly to become very cold when you notice
that the thermometer is low, though prior to looking at the
mercury the room had not struck you as uncomfortably cool.
An historic case of the power of imagination on the body:
In an English surgical college, a patient was given just
enough anesthetic to make him unable to speak or move,
without being insensible. A bapdage was over his eyes. Sur
geons ran a sharp iccle along the skin near his heart, then
exclaimed that they had cut an artery. Warm water was al
lowed to trickle down his side.
The patient died on the operating table, in the belief that
he was bleeding to death. Imagination killed him.
The London surgical case and the psychological heat" at
Sing Sing suggest that a good many of our aches, pains and
troubles are largely imaginary, maybe entirely so.
The imagination has ~hyl-otic powers.
1t can hypnotic well people into believing that they are
ill, and sometimes can change the sickly into a condition Of
health.
AS the old saying goes, life is what we make it, and happi-
ness is largely in the mind. When the world and its people
look sour and uninviting, the trouble usually is in our own
brains-our mental viewpoint.
In the long run, we usually get what we eXpect-especi-
ally trouble and misfortune.

NAVY DAY

Navy Day, which is being observed today on the ami
yersary Of the birth of Theodore Roosevelt, has its lesson in
preparedness. AS long as the world is in a turmoil and the
jealousies between nations exist the first line of defense
cannot be ignored. It is significant that in spite of the great
ado made over the Washington conference held last spring
little has been accomplished internationally in the way of
naval disarmament. France has not yet ratified the con-
ventions agreed to and there are indications that she will
not do so. Other nations are moving very slowly in the
matter.
Progress of this sort is made very slowly. 1t is still
human nature to be skeptical and it is particularly difficult
to get nations to have faith in each other. 1t would be folly,
therefore, to destroy in any way the efficiency of the navy.
America must be ready to lead in all movements toward
peace and disarmament, but it must be assured that other
nations are going to disarm as we'll before she goes too far
along that line.
In drawing the attention of the people to the navy today
if is desired to impress upon them the need of maintaining
a navy capable of upholding the dignity of this great nation.
The United States will destroy her ships when other nations
do, but not before.

or 1875 were occupants of auto
mobiles. While most classiications
of accidents, including those of the

of the health departments of fifty

THE PEOPLE HATE a DoDaER

Just as Newton a. K. Bugbee, The RepubIlcan candl-
date for governor three years ago, lost the election because
of his q%uibbling and s~traddling on the liquor question, SO
Governor Edwards, who is the Democratic candidate for
United States senator this year, is failing to gain the con-
fidence of the people by his refusal to commit himself on
any of the big issues before the country. The people hate
a dodger, one who is hedging on matters of vital importance.
Bugbee thought he could get away with it three years
ago, but his attempt to carry water on both shoulders, be-
ing neither ''wet' nor dry failed miserably. All he got
was the contempt of both sides. Governor Edwards is out
spoken enough on the "wet' and dry issue, but so is his
opponent. Senator Frelinghuysen. There is nothing else
that Governor Edwards is %outspoken about, however; he is
vague and indefinite on every other issue.
In striking contrast, Senator Frelinghuysen is open and
aboye-board on everything. No one has to wonder how ne
stands on any of the questions. Whether one agrees with
him or not, and it is impossible that all should agree, one
has to admire him for his courage. When all is said and
done, the people will support the man who is willing TO
stand by his convictions regardless OF consequences. SEN
ator Frelinghuysen is such a man.

NAVY ARE TOLD OF
Daily Letter by Frederic }. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The
navy this week is beginning an in
tensive campaign for recruits.
Thirty-eight thousand young Amer
leans are wanted to put on the blue
Uniform and be trained into arti-
sans, machinists, aviators, gunners,
radiomen, torpedomen, electricians,
clerks, submarinemen, and the
other vocations necessary to the OPP
Grafton of Uncle Sans fighting
ships and the naval shore establish
ments. From now on for many
weeks the recruiting offices will be
busy enlisting young men who elect
to take advantage of undoubted or
portunities which the navy offers
them.
1t may come as a surprise to
some that the navy SO soon after
the disarmament agreement is seek
ing $4,000 new men. The answer is
obvious. Even the reduced estab-
lishment permitted by the treaty
permits the American navy to have
$4,000 men in its service. These
men enlist for a relatively short
period of time. The new recruiting
is to find men to take the places
of those whose enlistments have ex-
AVA VI ~ d4C 1%oFAA6 IN 81 -
ice to 60 into the reserve or retire
ment.
For instance, the navy this year
is losing 1900 chief petty officers
who have served the required time
and are now going on the retired
list with good pay. These men,
whatever occupations they may now
take up, will continue to draw from
$67 to $134 a month from the gov
eminent for the rest of their lives.
This is a reward for long and faith
full service, granted by a law now
four or five years old.
Those who are retiring after six
teen years of service will get SGT
a month. Those who have served
a full twenty years will get sos.
A man who retires after thirty
years service gets $134 a month for
life. These allowances amount to
1904, $3.50 and $1,60S a year, re-
spectively; and, calculating them as
income on capital invested at 4 per
cent, they are the equivalent of
$40, 100, $31,500 and $4,000 respec-
lively, handed owe by the govern
ment to the retiring petty officers
for their free use during the re-
mainder Of their lives. Inasmuch as
a boy can enlist in the navy at the
age OF eighteen, it will be seen that
he can gain the smallest of these
rewards when he is thirty-four
years old and needs only to stay n
the service until he is forty-eight
in order to secure the largest.
