What is wrong with the average
American voter? He not only does
not attend the primaries, but he
does not go to the polls on election
day. Only fifty per cent. of the
qualified vote of the United States
can be depended upon to turn ont
for elections. Is it surprising that
Governmental business thus gets
into the hands of those who max,
a profession Of it?
The effect Of this Indifference on
the body polite is augmented by
the fact that the Average American
voter, keen as he may be about or
binary business matters, is carried
away by fine line of political talk,
and accepts without investigation
, what the political leaders tell him
Absorbed in his own business, his
unfamiliarity with political theory
inclines him to look on legislation
as a remedy for all existing poli,i,
cal ills. His first instinct in such
matters is to demand law. With
the statute on the books he con-
siders his duty done. not being par
ticulaIly concerned with its exacu-
ton. Those who had much dealing
with our French Allies during the
war will remember the familiar
phrase, "C'est ecrit''-It is written.
That was the excuse for anything
which Frenchman did not wish to
change. The bridge was built when
the blueprints We're finished. We
are not very different from that in
our attitude toward political issues.
We think a law can do anything.
Many earnest Americans believed
that the 18th Amendment, once
passed, would not only bar liquor
from our borders, but would cure
the thirsty of desiring it. Tonnes
see passes law against teaching
evolution, and expects by it to par
alyze the trend of thought and kill
the desire for knowledge. Others
want uniform law for divorce
expecting the very complex rela
tionship of marriage to be solved
by it,
Pass law and the average voter
expects it not only to regulate hui
/, man conduct, but to change human
nature. 1t is no wonder that with
this attitude of the voter our forty
nine law factories are working
overtime.

SHORE sQUIREs.

Speaking for the squires
along the shore roads. Justice
of the Peace Walker, of Berlin,
replies to the allegations of the
Keystone Automobile Club of
Philadelphia that out State
motorists are Disseminated ag-
ainst by those who administer
the laws in New Jersey.
He draws attention to the
records which, he says, show
that three-fourths of the intox;
Gated drivers arrested on tn.
White Horse pike and other
roads are from without the
State Of New Jersey. He also
points to the ecord of acci-
dents and says that equally as
many accidents on the White
Horse pike are caused by out
side drivers. On one Sunday
every accident was the result OF
reckless driving by motorists
from Philadelphia. he said.
Most Of these drivers had been
drinking before they left the
shore.
1t is almost as bad as mu.-
der" said the squire, for am
intoxicated driver to appear on
the crowded pixies. The law
gives the squires the option Of
sending the offender to jail or
Of Gning him for his first ofensc
but so far as ! am concerned
there is but one thing to do
with a drunken driver and that
is to send him to jail. He is
likely to badly injure others or
TO kill them and men are gen.
to State prison for long terms
for much less ofenses. All
squires along the White Horse
pike, are determined to enforce
the law and the Keystone Auto
mobile Club should applaud ns
for doing this.

can voter does not take the trouble
to have an opinion on the foreign
policy of our country. The average
American voter gives little consida-
ration to the rapidly changing char
acter of our government Few doc
uments in the history of the world
have received as much praise as
the American Constitution. Presid-
ed over by George Washington, the
Convention which adopted ii COM
posed the very cream of the colo
NAL intellectuals. and their highest
types in character, and labored four
months in its formation. Read ov-
er in our day it reveals no special
mark of divine inspiration and ma
ny modern corporation lawyer
plumes himself that he could write
Il better one. Considerations of
states were almost as old as human
history. Pure democracy had al
ready caused the ruin Of more than
one great empire. Nations had for
centuries been sub-divided into all
ministrative entities. Our claim 10

ment of the powers OF government,
assigning certain of them to the
Federal Government and reserving
others to the states.
Local government for local af-
fairs. federal government for ma
tional matters. 1t was, and If 1t
yet functioned as designed by the
fathers, would be still, the best
machinery yet devised by man for
the maintenance of a nation with
out destroying or minimizing local
/ self-government. But now it has
become pertinent to ask: Is it Dos
sible for a central government to
regulate and supervise the daily
lives of a hundred and ten millions
of people without becoming top
heavy? Is it possible with an cleo
torate as mixed and heterogeneous
as ours and with such diverse
needs. Shall the conduct of citi-
zens of Kansas be prescribed by
Congressman from Rhode Island or
be supervised at the expense of the
taxpayers of New Mexico? Is the
Constitution hopelessly out of date
or is it still the best charter of gov
ernment yet devised by the mind of
man? These are questions which
each voter must determine for HIM
self. We are near the parting of
the ways.

During the past week Berk-
ley and Beachwood have given
permission to the Central Rail
road Of New Jersey to operate
buses instead of trains through
their towns and the railroad
company has now nearly en-
ough consents of like nature to
permit the running Of buses
from Barnegat to Lakewood.
The. buses would not touch
Lakehurst, but would run di-
rect from Barnegat to Lake
wood, for train connections,
making "a saving, it is estimat-
ed, of about sixteen minutes in
running time between Toms
River and Lakewood, by elimi-
mating nearly five miles in dis
lance, and the delay that gen
orally is experienced in Lake
hurst.
T. J. Brown. speaking foy
the railroad company, Of which
he is general agent. told the
Toms River Kiwanis Club that
the passenger trains on tie
Lakehurst to Barnegat branch
were losing money every day
that the railroad spent a dollar
to operate these trains for ev-
cry 68 cents they earned. 1t
was apparent. he said, that the
railroad could not be expected
to continue this losing opera
ton, if some better way could
be found. They thought they
had found it in the bus.
Mail and express service,
said Mr.. Brown, would proba-
bly, be handled by the railroad,
though he, himself, after inves-
tigating a similar situation on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland,
was of the opinion that truck
service might be cheaper. How
ever, the railroad had a con-
tract with the United States
Government to carry mails, and
with the express company to
carry express, and would have
to do so satisfactorily to the
public. 1t is not planned 10
stop the buses at the railroad
depots, but in the villages as
they go through, as it would
add considerable to the running
time to stop at the depots. The
buses would be scheduled on
timetables, the same as trains.
Tickets can be bought on the
bus.

Of freeholders has been asked
by Sea Isle City residents to re-
pair the road across the mead
ows from Sea View, which they
say is in a horrible condition.
Mayor Safroney told the free
holders that the road was i'm
passable at high tide and that
putting more gravel on it would
not greatly improve conditions.
