5 NEWS AND > ^COMMENTS OPINIONS FROM SOME EXCHANGES Editorial Expressions and Striking T Hews Items Plucked Here aad There e . _____ The news from Passaic, N. J., that Mark Lee, a Chinese Uundrymsn. has , been taken to tbe IsoUtion HoepiUl, believed to be suffering from leprosy, emphasises again the. danger encountered k in entrusting Uundry work to Mongol - , ians. Physicians who hare examined Lee say he has all the symptoms of the loathsome disease. His shop was fumigated and closed by the. Passaic Board I. of Health, and the New Jersey State _ Board of Health will look after the disj eased. Chinaman. If the full facts conuj earning Lee and his leprosy could be s placed before tbe many patrons of Chinese laundries, domestic hand and - steam laundries, operated on sanitary lines, would be gainers. - Mecray 's Market is stocked witi the ' finest of eatables of all deaeriptions and r the clerical force is polite and obliging and the delivery servioe perfect, the prices are all right. Can you ask morel ', Hunting deer with dogs is cruel and unsportsmanlike. It is not allowed in most states where deer are bunted, and in New Jersey it would he like hunting 1 ( sheep with hounds. Any bill to permit the hounding of these creatures should, be killed as soon as it makes its appeari anoe.— Newark News. The Newark News aays: "The only question in the election of a United States Senator, is whether tbe people J - care enough for their control over the choice of their representatives to this x body to insist upon retaining it. ' t As far as tbe fi st election under the . direct primary law s concerned, the im- < t portadee of establishing the system firm I ly upon the personality of the candidate. r If the people allow the first test of the 1 , law to be treated as a joke, the mi- , chine politicians and his allies, tbe in- j i te rests, seeing that their attempt to ridicule tbe law succeeded, will try it again —and the people will find themselves taken seriously before election and 1 sneered st after election. The News believes in the direct election of United States Senators, because I it believes in democracy. It believes the people better capable of choosing their > • own representatives, and believe# that in general more satisfactory represents- " I lives will be chosen by the people than i will be selected by any body 'with the j > delegated authority to choose for them. „ If that is not admitted, it is simply g confessing that tbe people are not able to govern -themselves. If tbe people seriously desire to re- * more the Senatorship as far as possi- , ble from the control of political and business manipulation, they should firmly V insist on Mr. Martine's election, whether 1 they taink Mr. Martine is an ideal can- ' Ldidate or not. V ! The election of Mr. Martine will establish a precedent that it will be dan- t -'gerous for either the politician or the I j big interest* to monkey with in the j It Wffl serve notice that' the people "| consider themselves intelligent enough c to choose their own representative. ! And it will be another step toward re 1 . moving the United States Senate from its preeent notoriety, a a the stronghold , of financial feudiam. j If Mr. Martine is elected the direct election of United States Senators in . New Jersey is a fact If he is not ' elected the people will have their fight * i all over again and will/ probably be I i cheated of its fruits if they win.
