NEED FOR EVERY HONEST VOTE

Watch Hudson county. The tricks known to the Democratic
machine which rules in that neck Of the woods are not written in
books. 1t is there where Mayor Frank Hague holds forth and is
sues his orders that, in one way or another, reach, it is declared,
even into the courts throughout the state. Mayor Hague has am.
billions to get into national politics and to that end he forced the
nomination of Governor Edwards for United States senator and
rest assured that Frank Hague will leave nothing undone to have
Edwards elected.
1t is significant that the registration in Hudson county is the
largest it has been in recent years. This is in sharp contrast With
the registration in many other counties where there il a falling
off. In Essex, for instance, where the Republicans generally try
to overcome the Hudson Democratic majorties, the registration
this year is twenty-five per cent. lower than it was two years ago.
Edwards has made a poor showing in his campaign through
the country today and has confined his remarks almost entirely to
booze. His one chance of being elected is the vote in Hudson
county. Returns from that county will be late coming in on cleo
ton night. There will be a reason. Hague is determined to elect
his man. 1t remains to be seen whether the rest of the state will
let him get away with it.
1t will require the honest vote of every citizen who believes
in law and order, who would uphold the constitution and who
wants to see New Jersey represented in the United States senate
by a man they can respect, to compete successfully with the crook
edness in Hudson county. With the governor, the prosecutor, the
Judges and all the county officials there in sympathy with the
Hague machine there is not much hope of preventing fraud in
Hudson. The only way to beat it is to have such an overwhelm-
Hague machine will not dare attempt to overthrow it

DUMB-BELL & co.

Engineers used to say that it was impossible to bridge
the Hudson River at New York City. They have changed
their minds. The bridge will be built. The impossib1ity of
yesterday is the accomplishment Of tomorrow. SO runs civili-
cation.
The new bridge will have for its '%'backbone" four cables,
each IL feet in diameter. These cables will support the CEN
trail span, 5000 feet long, without a pier in the water below.
The bridge, says one engineer, will contain 45O,OOO tons OF
steel, which is more steel than all the bridges across the Missl-
ssippi, Missouri and Ohio Rivers.
By 1910 at least 25y 100000 vehicles and %200,O00O00 pas
tons materialize.
Quite a job, to keep New York City connected with the
United States.
Representative Ernest Alderman of New Jersey says the
bridge across the Hudson will be "the most stupendous en-
cheering work yet undertaken, surprising that respect and
also in final cost the Panama Canal"
The actual bridge will cost at least $lOO,OOO,OOO. About
$1l5 100000 additional will be required for the terminal
towers from which the huge cables will be suspended. These
terminal towers will rise into the air 6S5 feet. Very strong
towers required, to support 100000 tons, the weight OF the
steel in the suspended section. More millions required, Tor
the approaches.

This enormous expenditure of money, human labor and
materials is necessary because people persist IN Hooking to
ion the swarm in New York City, each year on a larger scale.
II is lust a beginning Of what will be required IN the III
+ure All this, the penalty of flocking to an island.
Tn the long run, it might be cheaper to abandon New YORK
Citv nroper and move the swarmers to the mainland OF the
United States. u u.a4
It starts you wondering, if after all, many OF our vast
ENGINEERING feats' are not rather futile. The high cost OF
swarming together, like all other costs, has a prohloltive
limit.

THE REFEREE
(By Albert Apple)

Geisha
The notorious geisha girl system
| of Japan is destroyed by the Japan
ese courts. Hereafter it will be un-
lawful for parents to sell their
daughters into geisha girl slavery
against their will.
The immediate effect of this de-
cision by the judges is to free pos
| sibly half a million Japanese girls
| from bondage. 1t skaters a sys-
tenn thousands of years old.
Democracy is rising on the other
| side of the Pacific when Japan
makes a contribution this important
to the worldwide emancipation of
women.
Botulism
Scientists discover that heat de-
| stroys the germs of the dread food
| poisoning known as botulism. Can
ners will prevent any danger of
! botulism by heating food, before it
| goes into cans. "for the time and
| degree of heat that has been scien-
| tifically determined"
Not as important as it looks. how
| ever, for botulism kills only %
Americans a year. possibly not as
many as choke to death by swallow
ing their false teeth.
The important angle, worth re-
| membering, is that heat kills all
germs.
Styles
France is alarmed by the discov-
| cry that her exports Of dressmaking
| materfals-such as laces and en-
broideries-are q half billion francs
a year less than before the a
All around, French styles a1e
losing ground. Partisan designers
seem to have lost their famed knack
of keeping a finger on the worlds
fashion pulse.
It is a part of the growing indie
pendence of women. Each year they
are less inclined to accept whatever
is dictated by style leaders, whether
they like it or not.
Smoking
DR.. Knight Dunlap and other
noted medical men at Johns Hopkins
University, after three years of re-
search, report that the immediate
effect of smoking tobacco is "a low
ering of the accuracy of finely CO.
ordinated reaction, but that there fs
no indication that the speed of COM
pIicated reactions is affected"
This makes it look as If tobacco
has more effect on the dictionary
than on smokers. 1t means that
smoking apparently does not lower
the efficiency of a routine worker.
but is APT to befuddle men engaged
in intellectual work.
Dimensions
A device that gives MOVIES the
third dimension, depth, like the old
fashioned stereoscope, is invented by
young Lawrence Hammond.
Such an invention, perfected.
would make the movies as real and
natural as the stage, instead of a
shadowland with only two dimen-
sions. However, the fascination of
the movies may be largely in the
illusion created by the absence OF
a third dimension. Time will tell,
for a perfected device such as
claimed by Hammond is inevitable.

STIMULATE
BY READING NEW 0
Daily Letter by Frederic J. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Oct. EFF you
have read some particular uninspir-
ing fiction lately you will be glad
to know that methods of measuring
Imagination are being evolved. How
to induce all the writer's and would
be Writer'S to test themselves is, OF
course, another problem, as yet un-
solved.
In recent years there has appeared
a vast literature designed to show
that anybody who is so inclined can
turn out fiction. The result of this
teaching has been that magazine OIL
fees are flooded with neat stories
carefully put together by rule and
carefully conforming to the psychol-
ogy of reader and editor, as the text
book advised.
Thus scarcely a fiction writer ir
! the country remains ignorant of the
established fact that editors albion
blue ribbon bows on manuscript. 1t
is widely understood that a rolled
manuscript would be coldly return
ed unread. Also, few if any fiction
manufacturers are unaware that d
happy ending is as necessary to a
story as a snappy beginning. Editors,
a writer is told, acquires the habit
of reading the first page and the last
OF a story. If they are aroused from
their apathy the interior of the man
uscript may be explored. Such be-
liefs have become tradition among
the vast circle of fictioneers.
The creative faculty, being more
elusive, has been passed over vaguely
by most textbook writer's. 1t is as
sumed that a certain amount of i'm
agination goes with the desire to
create characters and plots. Never
theless most of the fiction writers
who never land simply lack a flexible
imagination. They are encouraged
by friends and by their own judg-
ments to weave stories when they
have no inventive talents or when
their imaginations run along stereC-
typed lines.
1t must be admitted that occas-
ionally fiction writer's attain success
in spite of this defect. A charming
style. a knack of writing from the
humorist's viewpoint, may raise the
most hackneyed plot out of the or
binary. Generally. however, the gift
of style or humor goes with an orig
inal and imaginative mind.
The problem of classifying mag
ination from a literary standpoint
attracted DIR. Edwin Slosson and DR..
June Downey. DIR Slosson is an edi-
tor, author. and teacher of journal
ism. DR.. Downey Is a writer and
professor of psychology at the Uni
versity of Wyoming. Using as sub
jects college students, mainly those
interested in creative writing a var
iety of tests were made.
