Senator Edge and Chairman Slokcs are much disappointed by the voting on Tuesday, judging from their statements of yesterday.

Edge blames his fellow Republicans for not going to the polls and supporting, him. Stokes opines that the latest disaster was due' to the fact "that it is a difficult thing to educate the people to an interest in abstract organic- law," which is a polite way of saying that they are now too ignorant to vole intelligently on constitutional amendments. They need tuition. Well, the records show that nearly 400,000 citizens went to the polls on Tuesday, or more than fifty per cent of the 767,502 who cast their ballots at the general election last fall. Tuesday was not a An overwhelming majority of these voters are not the ignoramuses Stokes brands them.

On the contrary they passed very intelligently upon the proposals before them, especially upon the fourth amendment. That amendment was more or less of an insult to the high-minded people of New Jersey. It was drawn in partisanship and whipped twice through the Legislature under the caucus lash. The people have always resented attempts to change the constitution for party ends. In addition it was so bunglingly framed that it might well have been' the handiwork of the pages in the Senate instead of the members.

If it had been adopted it would have plunged its into endless confusion. This fourth amendment was accompanied by-another, the second, which embodied an outrageous attack upon home rule. Edge and Stokes in their speeches about the state, falsified the purpose and the effect of both of these proposals and tried, by partisan appeal, to force them upon the citizens, just as they last spring unsuccessfully attempted to foist a corrupt convention scheme upon the Legislature. Returns show that strongly, Republican counties, joined with the few Democratic counties in repudiating the political rrom overhead, he caught it glinlii, unmistakably on th AND DAVE CAULEP of an airplane!

High in the clouds, behind them nil, Natalie, with a sharp exclamation, suddenly pointed to a big land-plane bearing toward them. In the same instant there was a concerted shout of surprise a gasp from someone at the rail, and a woman's startled scream. The Vulture swept on.

unheeding the shouts from the bridge or its own danger. Jimmy leaned over the Faustanla's side when someone pointed and held his breath in sheer amazement at his rival's audacity. A cargo port below him swung open without warning and P.ogers perched in the opening. The yacht swept" on, sliding past the bigger ship with, scant inches to spare, its deck Just under the cargo port. A second later, P.ogers.

a bag in his hand, had vaulted free. Those on deck held their breath as he skimmed the few feet of water and in. the next moment, the Vulture was swinging away from the liner like a long white bird over the water. Rogers drew erect, laughed, and turned to wave at the crowded rails. Jimmy saw two of the yacht's officers hurry to his sidi law someone point, and then they all ran orwa rd.

In the next Instant, stifling a cry of fear and chagrin, he realized that Graham's seaplane was directly in the path of the Vulture! It was too late than to do anything but stand still and stare in stupefied horror. Those on the deck of th'e Faustania saw what wai coming, too, and there was a concerted cry. The yacht had swung wide of the ship as P.ogers leapt aboard; the move had brought It almost on top of the plane. Now it swerved. Jimnvy knew that no one could ever swear as to whether its sudden move was accident or design it was natural, so sudden.

There was apparently a frantic effort made to swing fre of the motionless plane. He saw Graham stand hp and shake his fist, unheeding of his own danger in his fury, and he knew that the naval officer was. cursing. Next there was a crash. Jimmy felt It In every muscle of his body as he stood tensed there; he had been awaiting it.

His eyes half closed and his parted lips set free a groan of anguish as he watched the end of Graham's left wing ripped away, his struts and wires torn and twisted out of place as the, bow of the Vulture struck sidewise. The flyer was still safe; the master of the yacht had apparently done all in his power to avoid the accident. But Graham could never fly now; his ship was as completely wrecked-as though it had been sent to the versation of a wife berating her husband!

Their comforts are looked after and the feeling of friendliness by the French people has been manifested on many occasions. There is reason, therefore, to applaud the decision of American Legion officials to proceed with the Paris convention plans. They were made at a time when radical organizers in France were making every effort lo prevent the visit of the American delegates.

After the Nungesser-Coli flight failure, reams of, propaganda were issued in which it was stated that if an American flier made the attempt- the Legion would not be welcome overseas. The same thing was said after Sacco and Vanzetti were executed. Subsequently Legion has gone abroad. It has been welcomed at every turn and, in reviewing scenes of the past, it will inevitably have accomplished much in fostering good will between the two great nations. It is also gratifying to know that French radicals either have not the power or the courage to carry out the threats so freely made.
