STATE CAM PBEVEHT PEDRRAT. IMTESPEREMCE There is now throughout the land a strong revulsion against what Is termed federal encroachment upon the reserved rights of the States. It was this antagonism that led to the defeat of the child labor constitutional amendment, rather than a widespread oppoeltllon to the purpose of the amendment Itself. But If there has been an encroachment upon this reserved rights of the States they are in large measure respon slblt for It by their failure to respond to the trend of progressive public sentiment and grant the protection which the federal government seeks to give. Governor Sllser was right when, addressing the New Jersey bankers in Atlantic City last Friday,

he told them

"We do not want to further circumscribe business or business ar Vvitles. We io not want government regulation and more Interference. but It Is quite clear that we will get It unless we protect the public, even against Its o» i experience and carelessness. •There are Innumerable statutes, nations! and Stats, regulating men and their actlvltisc. There are armlee of government agents to eee that these statutes

and regulations are enforCvu.

•Bunkers, like other r*ople- resent this constant and often unnecessary Intsrference. We forget, however, that the federal government would not have any occasion to step In tf we In the States took care of these affaire. It la frequently and usually our neglect to do these things et home which drives the federal government Into

this field of regulation.

"We must real Ire. too. that nil regulation is based upon the claim that there are abuses that need curbing. The conclusion is that we must curb tbe selfish and the corrupt -..ad plundering, and If we do not do this some government

agency will do it for us."

Anyone who has watched the struggle to secure reform legislation for the betterment of tbe human race in the New Jersey Legislature can testify to tbe soundness of the Governor's views. It required s struggle to take boys

of tender years out o' the glass; hoo<1 - bouse* of South Jersey.

GET BkHlWli OFFICIALS AMD PUSH Sea Isle City on Tuesday elected City Commissioners for s term of four yesrs so that for that period the city governmmt Is s known quantity. The campaign was s very quiet one, with a minimum of animosity and for that reason there should be no trouble In everyone getting behind the new Commissioners and giving a long, hard push, and s push allege.her to send Sea Isle over tbe toi City officials are but human, like other mortals they make mistakes. but they will perhaps make leas and be more ready to correct those they do make If t.->ey know they have the good will and support of the community in their efforts to make the city what It

should be.

The men elected on Tuesday are not strangers to their duties. Two of them have served as Commissioners and the third, as City Clerk, Is thoroughly familiar with city affairs. They thus start their new official terms with s knowledge of city affaire and Sea Isle's needs that should be s great asset to the municipality and make for a progressive forward move all along the line. Sea Isle should not fall behind her sister resorts In Improvements, upbuilding and gain In population and she will not If officials and people all work together to make use of her great natural advantages. Now Is good time to make a beginning.

MUST GET A MEW ALIBI

The arrest in Philadelphia of three young girls, neither of them over seventeen yesrs of age, participants In a safe-blowing job In Camden, In which a jeweler was robbed of $10,000 in goods, will force the apologists for the wave of youthful crime that sweeping the country to tall back a new alibi other than the dry laws, and they will not have far

•eek.

A metropolitan newspaper has been encouraging Its high school readers for some time to study Its issue* each day and at the end of week to send In their selection of the "biggest news Item ” together with their reasons for the selection, swarding prises to the best articles. In early April three prises in one week were swarded to pup 1 Is who selected as the biggest news Item of the week tho trial and convicUon of the mail robber and murderer, Gerald Chapman. This of Itself was bad enough, but In their articles these youthful constants lauded this criminal and placed him upon the pedestal of

a super-man.

When the youthful mind exhibits such a warped conception of heroes as this. It is not surprising that the criminal records are crowded with the names of evil doers who have not reached the age of either manhood or worn*--

Mo Escape From Taxes Atlantic City Frees: New Jersey bankers, meeting in Atlantic City, scored Inheritance taxes. Nobody wants to increa tlon. It would he fine to enjoy good government without paying for It. But when New Jersey keeps on spending money, making little Improvements like public highways and Interstate bridges, going Into debt to the tune of eighty million dollars and perhaps twice that sum. there must be a tax on something: the revenue must be raised. If you remove the tax from inherited estates, guarantee no Income tax. then the bill will be paid by the owner of real property. The burden may be shifted, but

IT la announced that the Passaic County Republican executive committee will discontinue the endorsement of candidates running In primary elections. This is as it should be. In primary elections every candidate should stand on his own merits and win or lose on those merits. The county executive committee of a party Is supposed to represent the entire party, not a section or pari of the party, and as the representative of the whole party It has no right to endorse particular candidates who may be opposed by a la>ge section of the party. It U just such endorsements that create ■Ussatisfaetton among the rank and file of the party and tfve ground for the

Should Merer Have Done So Patterson Press-Guardian: The announced Intention of the executive committee of the Passaic Co'inty Republican Committee, to discontinue the endorsement of candidates running In primary ’lections. Is not wltfaoit Its peculiar aspects, particularly with regard to tbe gubernatorial contest under way this year. Former Attorney General McCran. a Paterson man. is. as is well known, one of the candidate* seeking the Republican nomination. Naturally Mr. McCran would like the endorsement of his borne county. Indeed th? absence of such endorsement will be regarded as peculiar In other sections of the State. But it will be Impossible for him to secure that endorsement this year and for that outcome he may thank the two newspapera in Paterson that are supporting him for the Gov ship. That Is another of paradoxes that so often material-

By HELEN FOSTER Eighth Grade. No. 7 Winner Third Price In TIMES BMay Contest Sea Isle City could be made more beautiful in several way. One of the most Important ways Is to make the railroad station more attractive, such as painting it, and cementing the platform. Instead of being made of wood, and keep it clean. Improving the station In such a manner should be a great Improvement to the city. The reason for Improving the station is that passengers on the train, whet they go through our city, will judge it by the section which they see. so try and keep the station and Its surroundings attractive so the visitors will get a good opinion of our city. Large corner lots which are vacant ere often times used as a place to throw rubbish. Such places as these do not appear attractive to visitors to v,ur city. These lots should he burned and then cultivated. It would be even better If a building was on these lots. Tbe Jots, especialthe main avenue, should be kept very dean and attractive. ler matter which should attend to, la the refuse of the city. The refuse should be taken farther away from the city. At the lower end of .Sea Isle there Is some of the refuse in the road. A pH should be dug fij from the road and the refuse burned. The refuse Is not collected enough. It should be collected at least twice When it Is not collected It makes the backyard very

Udy.

Tbe streets of our city could be uu.lt much cleaner and somewhat neater. Many people throw tin cans and other rubbish In the streets. This should be prohibited. The pavements could raised so the water would run off and the curbings need repairing. Many Improvements could be made on tbe boardwalk. In the summer people throw candy bags, papers and boxes on the boardwalk and other parts of tbe city. People would not throw paper and such things on tbe street If a few receptacles for waste paper were put la several places on the boardwalk and along the streets. This would be s great help In keeping the city clean. The garages should heve a neater appearance In front of the bulldlngii Oil and grease pavement In front of any building ' lea not look attractive. If you want Sea Isle City beau tiful and attractive, you should all help a* much as possible by keeping jour own lot attractive and neat Don’t throw what you ant on your neighbor'

yard.

Quite a few rttlsens of this city put their rubbish on vacant lots. he wind blows this rubbl ih blows around the town and Irani the brauty of well-kept lota. The people who throw their rubbish round In such a way have no civic pride whatever. ' le City shouW be more populated, should have more industry. and more capital. Such thing* as these help to make a city larger. Du your share and help.

To Kill Bus Service. Whose Frceen Wastes! Yes, Sir, Bather Fight Hirdenbuig's Election. Massachusetts considers v position Interesting in c States. The Idea D to Oblige railroads killing competition annoying to them, but useful to the public, by Interfering with omnibus passenger lines. The scheme Is cleverly worked out. First, owners of omnibuses using public roads would be compelled to get certificates of public necessity and urgency. That Isn't so very dangerous, because public opinion which would demand a convenient omnibus service could bring pressure to bear on the Legislature.

But It would also be for an omnibus line to get a pr: mil from the local authorities c every little town and Tillage through which It might pass. With such a law In force it would only be necessary for the railroad to buy one or two little local bodies—and that wouldn't be dif-

ficult.

The railroads need something to wake them up. and they ought tc be grateful for mild omnibus competition. 3y and by they will have real competition In the airplane routes. And even railroads will hardly suggest that the people haven’t a right to fly through their own atmosphere without special permission. The omnibus line as a medium of long-distance transportation Is an established fact. You may ride by bus all the way from San Diego to Seattle, the whole length of our Western coast. If busses wear »ut the roads, part of their earnings should be used to keep the roads In repair. But omnibus lines should be encouraged everywhere. Four nation* are racing to reach the North Pole. MacMillan hopes to arrive first with the American flag and his two alr-

ehlpe.

Anyhow, whatever happens In this race, the United Statea reach-

ed the Pole first.

As to “owrUu" that territory, there need be no quarrel. There Is oil there, within the Arctic. The Rockefellere have actually proved It and produced It. although they do not mean to bring

It out

And as tbe Pole shifts, the different sUra one after another become our Northern star, which la not st all “fixed and unchanging." Today's Polar lands will lose their carpet of Ice, men will live there, on fertile fields, and "Polar night' will be located elsewhere. But what, by that time, will have become of the nations now claiming Polar lands? They will have vanished more completely than the 22 separate kingdoms that met the Conqueror when he Unded In BriUin. And what we call civilisation will then be part of a disagreeable past, studied as we now study the Bushman. African pygmies, and the "bead hunters" of Borneo. Man by nature delights in struggle. At Columbia. 8. C.. beside the railroad track, four barefoot colored boys from flfte six years of age called out. "Throw a nickel In the air and we'll fight for It." The suggestion that tbe smallest boy would have little chsnve found no favor. All four boys were disappointed when each received his nickel without a struggle. Even the smallest boy said. "Yes, sir, we'd rather fight for

There Is a moral for employers. Give your men on salary a chance to make something extra by "fighting" for extra business and extra profit. Only profitsharing gets the best out of a man. A salary, no matter how big. seems like an Insult after a

The French declare the election of Von Hlndenburg to be Germany's challenge to the world and to France especially. But the French should be the last to criticise the Germans In this election.
