VOTE YES ON CANAL ISSUE.
Remember the barge canal refer¬ endum is nol for construction pur¬ pose alone as about $ I :',,.'jOO,000 is needed for damage claims, the 13,6.54,000 appropriated by the last legislature must be returned to the State Treasury, while the balance, or 19,846,000 is for construction pur¬ poses.
The barge canal is the world's greatest engineering feat and was so pronounced by the International Jury of Awards at the I'anama-Pactfic Ex¬ position.
The late Alberl Fink, one of the world's foremost authorities on trans¬ portation has said: "The Erie Canal regulated the rate, not only, on the railroads of New York but on every trunk line connecting the Atlantic witht the Great Lakes."
New York Stale has done its share. The Legislature is giving the people a chance to spare themselves a heavy direct tax by submitting the referen¬ dum. It is known as Proposition No. 1 and comes at the foot of the bal¬ lot under the Suffrage and Interest Amendments. It has NOTHING to do with the constitution. The voter should be fair to the State, fair to the canal, fair to himself and the tax¬ payers and no matier what his poli¬ tics might be vote "YES" for the barge canal referendum, which is Proposition No. 1 and is at the foot of the ballot.

The Jersey Victory.
To tlic Kditor .N.Tsaau I'osl. Freeport, N. Y.
Come on, let's take account of stock. Those Jersey "sintis" are crowing like mad over tlicir victory. They claim We are >?oiiiK lo l)c coniiiletely snowed under. Maylie so, liut before wc admit defeat let's look tlic ground over and size up thc situation.
If we've KOt a lilack eye we want to know Just how II haiipened und what ll was that .siruck us.
Was their success over there a tri¬ umph of ridfht or Justice, the sustain¬ ing of a principle, the voice of the best elements of society'.'
We've been "Rropln' " around a bit and don't seem to flnd very niudi hut a machine, lis a coniiillcaled hide-and- seek affair, and shies at Ihe lliiicllKhl. but we jfet occasional peeii.M al II, and ob. my, oh my!!
The old car of juKKcrnaul—that bug¬ bear of our childhood days hasn't a thln»c on thc Jersey combination. It's a front - and - flre - proof - perennial- twenty - four - cylinner - three - hun¬ dred - and - sixty - flve - horse - power creation and Its clutch would throw hot fprKCd rivets Into conReatlve chills.
It rcRlstera a man and votes him dou¬ ble quick so that he can—well, he can KO about his buslrless If he haiil>ens to be a business mun. Hut some men have such short memories and ml^ht forget that they had voted. So the machine has a sort of automatic reminding at¬ tachment and looks out for Its constitu¬ ents. So handy and thounhlfiil. you know. Now, Kirls, we couldn't exepct to beat a thins like that, could we?
Suppose some one flKured out what would be left of that victory If the machine were eliminated.
How would the returns stand then?
There Is another rather pertinent— possibly Impertinent query; How can these sensitive, reflned, home-raised nntl sister who shrink from publicity, who deprecate the necessity for aiM'.car- liig on the platform, who declari" poll- tics so demorallzinK and fatal to ev¬ erything feminine — how can these women affiliate with the "machine" and fraternize with some of the forces that help to win such victories?
Are they really sincere or are they "playlnK to thp Kallerles?"
Is It any worse to stand on a plat¬ form and argue for suffraKe than to stand on the same board and denounce It?
To bc consistent these women should keep away from the platform and Ret some man to do thl|1r talking for litem.
The lesson of th*i Jersey election Is not so much In the defeat of the suffra¬ gists as In ehowlntc what the machine can do once It Rets under headway. It also brings out with startllnK clearness tho methods of parties and factions and tho peculiar propinquities of the politi¬ cal game.
Outsiders can see If the "antls" do not that tfiey have not raised machine politics to their level, but have lowered th<«lr standard, and formed alliances the contemplation of which,'should. In their •aner moments cover them with con¬ fusion.
