FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1915

UNT/L THEN, WAIT. Next Tuesday the much-mooted question whether or not women shall vote in' New Jersey will be settled. The issue is now BnMMy up to the voters, and a more important one lias never been put before them. There are several very good reasons why the amendment sboald be voted down, but only one should be necessary to convince every voter open to conviction. That is, THE GREATEST MAJORITY OF WOMEN IN THE STATE DO NOT WANT TO VOTE. Until all the women, or at least the great majority, W \NT a vote, wait This is oue case where “ watchful waiting " can do no harm, but rather will work nutold good. There is no law on Uustatnte books of this State that does not place women on equal fooling with men. Many favor women over men. Therefore there is not a single law that women can improve to help themselves by voting. To enfranchise women at the insistence of a comparatively few would be a grave injustice. And mark well, that unless every voter opposed to suffrage gets out next Tuesday, and VOTES, the suffragists will win, for they have made au earnest canvas and every voter in favor of the issue will be at the polls. TWO NEGLECTED AMENDMENTS. An obvious danger of the election regarding the amendments to ooastitution is that the voter may confine bis attention solely to that which affects the suffrage of women. There arc two others which, if hot of equal importance^are desirable, and would be approved if tffieyweTc fully considered, whatever might happen to the suffrage T'~yF~~ Oik of them merely simplifies amendments to the constitution, affording a better procedure than now exists. It should be approved, of course. The third amendment is as follows: •* Amend Article IV. by adding the following section, which will be known as Section IX.: ‘ TJie Legislature may authorize the State, or counties, cities, towns, boroughs, or other iffiuuicipalities, or a>y board, governing body or commission of the same, to take more land and property than is needed for actual construction in the laying out, widening, extending or re-locating the jvarks, public places, highways 01 streets; provided, ho-vcver, that the additional lauds and properties so authorized to be taken shall be no more than sufficient to form Mltablc building sites abutting on such park, pul - lie place, highway 01 street. After so much of the laud 01 or property taken has been appropriated for such park, public {dace, highway or street as is needed therefor, the rcmaindci in a be sold or leased and reasonable restrictions imposed.’ ” This amendment would do away with the assessments which have caused gross scandals in public improvements. An amendment to the constitution seems a clumsy way of making so plain a reform, but the courts have tied us up so that to cut the knot an amendment is necessary. So when you vote at the election next Tuesday, do not cotifii e your attention to the woman's suffrage amendment, hut look ovc the other two changes of the fundamental law, and register yourap proval of them, whatever you may think about Uie women folk.

COUNTY VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS. Cape May County’s long wanted and badly needed Agricultural School is now a reality. At Cape May Court House any man or woman so inclined eau, at no exjK-nse to themselves, learn all the branches of farming. This movement is gaining rapidly in the State. Many coontics have provided such schools, and more are fallowing. Certainly it is a step in the right direction. The tread of the times is back to the soil, the natural wealth producer of the nation. Au agricultural school of Cajic May ’s character will be the means of thoroughly teaching those who would otherwise remain iguoraut the principles of scientific farming. Ultimately it will lead to better farms and more contented

fasmers

It needed only such a school, supplemented by the excellent work of the Comity Farm Dcnumstiatut, to advance the fat ms ui the County to a high degree of efficiency. The Board of Freeboidcis, and all others who helped secure this school, deserve the thanks ot everyone. Atlantic County has maintained an agricultural school for the I put eighteen months with great success. Professor Rotnit T. j Maltbv, who was former dean at the Karon IK- Hirch School ai : Woodbine, is in charge, and already the change in Atlantic Conn tv’s j farm lands is apparent. Neglected, poorly tilled lauds arc now well j cared fui, and are being intelligently farmed. 1 If such resalts have been accomplished in so sboit l cannot be expect . <i of Cape May County s school I

What an Owner Cannot doj

Beyond a certain point an OWNER cannot regulate the CONTRACTOR he employs. Yon can'cage a leopard, but you cannot change his spots or his point of view. But what an Owner CAN DO is to select, in the first place, a Contractor who has an established reputation for integrity, efficiency and results. ird B.
