GOVERNOR sILzER's FUTURE

The political future of Governor George S. Slzer may be de-
sided in the election being held in this state today. Before an
other election is held the national conventions of the great poiti-
cal parties will have been held. Governor Silzer has already at
ton. He is a personality to be reckoned with in Democratic poll
tics and he has been mention in connection with the Democratic
rational ticket next year.
Should he be given a legislature this fall that will cooperate
with him in carrying out his policies in the state he will be in a
strong position to go before the Democratic national convention
and win, if not the nomination for President, at least the nomi-
nation for vice president. A good record at Trenton this winter,
therefore, means much to the governor. He may succeed in get
Ting on the national ticket, anyway, especially should the head
Of the ticket be chosen from the West or Middle West. He is
already sufficiently known to receive considerable backing in the
convention.
OF course, he is bound to have a hostile senate for it is i'm
possible for the Democrats to gain control of the upper house in the
legislature this year, but with the assembly friendly he could head
off hostile legislation, and, at the same time, by putting his meas
ures through the assembly it would be up to the senate to DELHI
erately kill them and assume the full responsibility for their
failure.
While the governor still has another year to serve after this
one, his future as far as politics are concerned will be settled large
~ this year. This may explain the activity on the part of New
have been SO quiet.

SWEARING OFF

Man, did you ever try to stop ~smoking9 Probably your
experience was a lot like Rodger Dolans. Dolan had high
blood pressure. 1t was the nervous kind, not due to hard
ening of the arteries.
'You're smoking too much, - the doctor explained. 3Nico-
tine is over-stimulating the adrenal glands. Makes them
manufacture and cast into the blood stream too much adrena-
line. This super-powerful drug over-stimulates the heart and
constricts the pipes through which the blood flows. With
the pipes smaller, your heart has to exert more force (blood
pressure) to pump the blood through your system. You'll
have to cut your smoking"
Dolan swore off. Nearly drove him wild. Seemed that
everybody suddenly began offering him fine cigars. He could
smell tobacco smoke a block away. Chewed gum, package
after package. Couldn't sleep nights. Fought the battle six
days. Then surrendered.
Later the doctor, warm friend of Dolan, tried a psyche
logical experiment. He said: ~"Rodger, your lungs are in
dangerous shape. | don't want to alarm you, but you'll have
to be extremely careful. Smoking is the worst thing you can
do. 1t irritates the lungs. Quit altogether? l don't care.
That's up to you"
Dolan experienced a sudden chill. He had visions of him
self dying from tuberculosis. He suddenly discovered that
life was more attractive to him than tobacco. Quit? Instantly
Easily.
Now he learns, from the doctor, that he was hoaxed. Moth
ing wrong with his lungs except bronchitis.
cit taught me- says Doan, 'that | was unable to quit
smoking that first time because l didn't WANT to quit.
I hypnotized myself into believing [ COULDN'T quit. Prop
erly scared. 1 hypnotized myself into believing I COULD
quit-and HAD to. It's all a matter of mental attitude
imagination"

WILL COOPERATE WITH
CRIPPLE KIDDIE WORK

TRENTON, Nov. 6.-Co-operation
with the F~raternal Order of Elks in
their ~~"Crippled Kiddie" movement
and aid for the disabled veterans of
the World War were two of the
laudable aims included in the ac-
t~ivities of the state rehabilitation
commission for the year ending June

port just submitted to Governor Sill

hundred and lightweight handicap
ped persons were placed in employ
ment after physical rehabilitation.

success attained in this work ack-
nowledges the assistance effectively
given by the factory inspectors and
the general coordination OF the
commissions program with the de-
partment of labor activities.

fort came to the states injured

those registered in the rehabilita-
ton clinics in Newark, Jersey City,
Camden. Trenton and Paterson rep
resented workers injured in industry
in New Jersey.

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. CLIFFORD C. ROBINSON
Insomnia

Insomnia
Insomnia is no respector of per-
sons. If you persist in overstepp;ng
the rules of health, it may come
your way.
The trouble is either functional
or symptomatic. 1t has psychologist,
physiologic and p~athologic conditions
and changes. The tired business man
or city dweller, through mental
stro.n or overwork, is a favorite vic
tim. But people of the country or
smaller owns are by no means i'm
mune. The poor may have their
troubles, but they usually are not in
somnia victims; they sleep well.
Worry, nervous troubles, indulg-
ing in ] -lproper food at the wrong
time and sustained mental strain
cause H. omnia, in most cases. Con-
ditions of the body itself and en-
vlronment also play important parts.
Do not try to go to sleep with cold
feet.
To help insomnia sufferers, 1
would advise light eating at night.
Sometimes a glass of warm milk or
even other food may aid sleep by di-
recting the increased flow of blood to
the stomach during the night.
Do not resort to sedatives, sleep
ing p%otions or hypnotic drugs to cure
insomnia. Their use will often work
greater harm than the insomnia you
seek to cure.
Seek plenty of fresh air in walks
and by the open window at night.
Never smoke to excess, it's effects
on insomnia are far reaching and
well defined. A warm bath of short
duration will often help greatly.
In pronounced cases of insomnia,
the trouble is dangerous and must
be considered a real illness and a
cause for careful diagnosis by your
physician.

CITY MANAGER AT CLEVELAND

One of the most interesting elections in the country is being
held today in Cleveland. With a population of more than 100000
and with 100000 registered voters, an experiment in the city man,
age plan is being tried. This is the first time the city manager
form of government has been adopted by a large city, and the
outcome may have great influence on municipal gvernment gen.
orally.
The city has been divided into four districts and a city coun-
Gil of twenty-five is to be elected by the people. This council will
choose a city manager who may or may not be a resident Of Cleve-
land. It is likely that the country will be secured for the right
man to tackle this great municipal undertaking.
Under the city manager plan, the council is responsible directly
for the goycrnoring of the city. There will be no elective mayor to
share authority or to veto the councils legislation. Letting of
contracts and fixing of salaries will be done by the council. The
sole check ON the council will be in the recall, or their legislation
may be nulhfed through a referendum.
The council will enact ordinances, make appropriations, adopt
regulation, grant franchises, and exercise all the poicydetermin-
ing functions of the city government, which collects and spends
about 100000 annually.
The ciy manager, under the new plan, will be responsible for
prompt and efficient administration of the ordinances and regu-
lations prescribed by the council, and will hold his position during
the pleasure of the council. This means that the council, after a
hearing, can dismiss him and hire another at any time.
European cities have been run on the city manager plan for
some time, but over there they do not let politics interfere with
efficiency as we do here. If the city manager is given a free hand
he can accomplish much for the taxpayers. The trouble is, IN
America we will not let him alone. Every man seems to think
that it is either his own or his friends privilege to feed at the
public crib. Both our city and county governments are loaded
down with sinecures.
Commission form of government is another modern method
Of running a municipality, and many cities have prospered under
it. but unless politics are eliminated even the commission form of
government is of little advantage in fact, it may be worse than
he old form of mayor and council because once politics are in
J jected, a ring is formed that is hard to break. Commission govern
ment has many advantages over the old form, however, and the
city manager idea is a step still further in advance. Cleveland,
which is adopting the city manager form today, is one of the most
progressive cities in the country and the city manager idea ought
to succeeded there if anywhere. 4
