Eirt Ora-i£r«*. who is an earnest advocate of the
-Ackerman bill, urged the members of the confer

Senator «"olpy wa? the chairman at the afternoon
fr«?esion. He was scheduled tc- deliver an address on
"New Jersey's Attitude Toward Civil Keforra,"
but said h« would not discuss the subject, as ex
j#>rts would be hoard. However, he told an inter
esting rtom- of how hip interest was aroused and
what had been. done.
"I will stain briefly why I am interested and
•what was accomplished last year." he said. "In
ih«» summer of 1905 I became active in a political
factional row— fight that was strenuous and
somewhat bitter. One. ■evening while. I was alone
f man fame into the office who seemed to be down
at the heel and acted a if afraid. He paid: *Sena

"hope you'll -win.* I asked him bis name. He paid.
"I can't give it to you. Senator; I am an employe
«if the Newark City Department.' He, was evi
(iintly a man who was getting J«"> or perhaps. s7s
? month. I thought nothing of the matter for that
moment, but' at home that evening 1 began to re
fle.-t seriously on the incident and said. "Why is it
ihm this man cannot display his r*-aJ spirit—can
rot ipssisi Mi mind?' I ~ realized that so long as
<ccn_iUa&B existed he could not have that freedom
that is guaranteed by th* Constitution. It made a

to Mr. Brown. Mr. Somerwell and Mr Goodwin. I
introduced a Civil Service bill: I don't believe it

■ed year the Senate passed a Civil Service bill.
but M ■/-•as Wiled in the House. With the institu

will lose Us power not only with the nwlffaufkti;
but ,-.H.i loses" the privilege to Fell to corporate

healthy progress is that this very hour a discus
*kin Is froing on at Trenton over a public Utilities
bill. Such ._ thing as this would not have been
heard of a few years ago. I believe your con
ference ie to be congratulated. You are getting be
iore the public matters of vital interest."
"The Practical Application of the Civil Service
ljv. ' ■was discussed by Mr. Schieffclin, who told
liow the examination of applicants was practical
and gave a ludicrous Hluaration of the teat of
applicants for j.iii. • as ambulance drivers, and
easy three of the thirty-seven who had passed the
•Dental test survived the practical test— the har
nessinf; and driving of the horse. Mr. Goodwin was
Babstltuted for Samuel H. Ordway. md described

Uichard Stevens. Hudson County probation
officer, lawn tennis player and member of tho Ho
boker family of that name. made an appeal to the
employers ■•* the country for a better under
standing of the worth and skill of the convict as
h mechanic and better pay for ale services while
bj pri«f>n t-o that he would have enough money to
*-tsrt life anew.
"Instead of receiving the customary when !ie
i« discharged at the end of bis term," be said, "he
t-nould hnve between $200 and ISM. This money
would give him a chance to do better, and not re
turn probiibly to his former evil habits. If he did
not wit^h to remain in bis own town or go back to
liis former home be would then have enough
money to go to some other town and start life
anew and end* avor to It- Jin honest man."

MR. WILLIAMS OX PANIC.
Banking Superintendent Tells What
Legislation Is Needed.
Clark Williams, State Superintendent of Banks,
<J:.scus ; tli^ recent panic at fhv> annual dinner
of the Bradford County '•Farmers," held last nis'it
at the Hotol Manhattan.
"Our lecc-nt troubles have awakened a dorr.and nn
the Bart of the public which must be. met. must
be answered." he said. "That emboldens me to
say dial certain conditions exist which are to !)*•
met and must be met. If w« have a board of Civil
Service examiners ■which will provide us with th
best men as bank examiner*?, and if besides we
have legislative appropriations to carry out. certain
features that seem salutary, and if, we secure leg
islation which we recommend, and if the banks
continue their co-operation, I am emboldened to
promise you a supervision of state institutions
which will be a pattern for .our slater states and
of which we. may be Justly proud."
"New York." said the Rev. Howard C Robbing.
of Knclewoofl. X. J.. who was first speaker, "needs
men -who can climb the ladder of success without
losing consciPntioupncFs. Xpw York, it poems to
me. needs the conscience of Bradford County."
Then he turned aside to say that city bred mm
lack the breadth of vision of city men country
born.
"The city bred man who dors not pro wealth
produced forgets he is a middle man, and just a
middle man. Knough could not be produced in
New York in twenty years to keep the city even a
part of a day. But it la possible to be a city bred
man and have a conscience, despite the fact that
the country bred man sees the city man on every
Fide of him hunting: out and taking 1 advantage of
the loopholes in the law, and, once in a while, pull
ing- the holes in after him."
fi« praised Governor Huplies. who. be patd. was
typical of men who have spent years in the city.
and v<t are aide- to ?«> events broadly. "He," said
tb*» preacher, "ha? n hat" for difihonost and
iliiHt dcalines that is worthy oT a rmn who hails

Aren't we the good fortune
tellers?
Revised prices all through our suit
stock — that's good fortune.
Specially if you want a suit, for
say $25 or less, which lias been much
more.
Overcoats reduced to $15 and -$20
are two more lucky strokes.
- Early as it is. our Spring stock of
neglige shirts is ready — all fresh just
now.
