FEWER NEW LAWS.
Of. the making of new laws there has
, seemed to be no end in recent years.
Govern or-elect Di.v therefore, sounded
a popular note when in his speech at
Montreal be promised to reduce the num
ber if he -could. *"Fhe people of New
"York till* year elected a business man
• "Governor,"' he said : "heretofore they
"have had lawyers, and too much atten
"tion has been given new legislation.
, -"This year and next, so far as I can eon
*trol the situation, there will be fewer
••new laws and all th se now on th"
X"booksK "books will be enforced."
We assume Chaste be ■ pledge to keep
down the number of laws, and no ques
tion ,-,... exist as to the desirability <f
Its U-ii:g carri'-d out. The question '.«
as to the possibility, It is to he feared
thai Mr. Dix may find himself a little
puzzled -when lie faces the legislative
'frrist, us he has confessed he is likely
to be when beginning to reduce M atapttf»-
Jicau extravagance." The last legislative
M-st-!- produced 705 ])«. v chapters of
the lairs of Meat York State, out of
.2.93."» bills introduced. It wasn't a very
good year i">- Jaws, either. In fact, it
hasn't been for four years, because Goy^
. enssr Hughes used every effort to keep
down the number. He WO!] the ill will
'of more tuau one legislator who had
worked hard for tome cherished local
nieafcure by vetoing it and pointing out
that its purpose could l>e accomplished
under existing general statutes or
i should be expressed in tire form of a
; :jreneral statute to ♦over all cases of the
port.,-;/ f
A great |.': v Of the yearly batch of
' laws is cliargeable Jo the lawyers tbein
pelves. Scarcely a day of ahe legislative
eestlon .--.•- without the introduction
of a few "lawyers' bills,'' making
cliaujres in the civil or criminal codes
wholly -unintelligible to (he layman, and
,ms to the desirability of which the law
yers themselves differ widely. Daily tbd
calendars are lumbered with measures
to authorize the issuance of.bouds for
school districts or to validate the acts of
some notary public about -whose position
a quibble has arisen. All of them, per
haps, are necessary, and some of them
important to the localities interested.'
Yet. to the layman it' would seem; possi
ble to save time mid expense by- the
euaetment of a few well considered and
carefully phrased- general statutes. I'ei-
haps Governor Dix en get" the . Legis
lature to do lii this line what Governor
Hughes could not do.
A Governor, however, can at best at
tack only one phase of this evil. In the
Legislature itself must lie the peal
remedy. There is now no limitation oil
the number of bills which may be intro
duced save the sense and innate decency
of the individual legislators. Not, SO
many years, ago an Assemblyman from
New York City, fathered several scores
of measures in a session, of which one
or two passed both houses and one be
came a law. Some" adequate check "on
the quantity of legislation at its source
would bring the task of reducing the
annual number of laws within the range
of possibility.
CONGRESS AXD THE HOLIDAYS.
Now that "greater efficiency*' is getting
to he ■ watchword, or catchword, in the
worlds of business and politics,' why
doesn't Congress' try to put. itself in
better condition to do its regular work
by. abolishing the useless holiday recess?
The. two houses adjourned on December
21. to ' 'meet again on January ">. 1?>11,
thus taking fourteen days out of a short
session which by law can last only "nine
ty days all told.
* The - holiday recess of" Congress is a
survival of times when the volume of
legislative business was small and there
| wjis little necessity for assiduous and
constant attention to it. The earlier
Congresses spent more time on political
discussion than on routine legislation.
But the ordinary appropriation bills of
one session now require greater labor to
prepare and pass and involve larger
expenditures Mian did the appropriation
hills of half a dozen sessions two gener
ations ago. The chairmen of the Appro
priations committees of the House and
Senate have repeatedly testified that
there is not enough time at the short
session to put the money bills in proper
shape and. that much vicious legislation
slips through in the hurry and confu
sion of the last week of an expiring
Congress! The second session ought to
be extended by constitutional amend
ment to April Ho. But so long as Con
gress refuses to sanction that sensible
change in our political calendar it
should be willing to make the most of
the present time allowance for the short
session, instead of devoting nearly one
sixth of it to holiday rest.
Congress lakes much longer vacations
than any other department of the govern
ment. It is in recess about twelve months
out of every twenty-four. Vacations
for the higher officers of the executive
department are largely nominal, includ
ing in theory one or two of the sum
mer months. The higher courts take
summer recesses which do not exclude
incidental work. Congress alone matches
every working day with another day of
rest," yet it is also the only department
of the government which shuts down at
the Christmas season fur two weeks.
Formerly Senators and Representatives
were supposed to go, home for Christmas.
As a matter of fact, a large majority
of them now remain in Washington.
■font of those whet do go home could
fowl as easily make that visit if the two
houses should adjourn before Christmas
and assemble again before New Year's
Day. In view of the great pressure of
work at the short session a recess of
fourteen days seems to be a decided
misapplication of valuable time and a
hindrance to greater efficiency in the
discharge of public duty.
A XEW JERSEY UNDERSTANDING.
The Hon. Robert Davis, of Hudson
County, N. J., is frank and outspoken,
as is his wont, in confirming The Tri
bune's account of the manner in which
the late Democratic campaign in that
state was organized and conducted. We
said that Mr. Davis, Mr. Smith and the
! other leaders of the party organization
had selected Dr. Wilson for 'their can
didate for Governor with the hope and
expectation that his popularity would
sweep into oflice a Democratic majority
in the Legislature which would return
Mr. Smith to the United States Senate,
and suggested that the latter attainment
might to some persons seem more im
portant and desirable than even the
election of Dr. Wilson as Governor. The
plan worked,' and both Dr. Wilson and
a Democratic Legislature were elected.
And now Mr. Davis amply confirms our
view of the case by declaring that away
back, early last summer, he promised to
support Mr. Smith for the senatorship,
which, to the cognoscenti of Hudson
County politics, meant that he would see
to it that the Hudson County Assem
blymen voted for Mr. Smith.
Two additional points are now sug
gested by Mr. Davis's plain talk. At
the time when that compact was made
between Mr. Davis and Mr. Smith the
law providing for the indication of the
popular choice for Senator at the pri
maries was on the statute book. It was
known that certain Democratic candi
dates would have their names placed an
the tickets in order to seek popular sup
port- It was do-btless known by Mr.
Smith, and probably also by his friend
Mr. Davis, that Mr. Smith would not.
permit, bis name to be thus used. So
here was practically an understanding
thai the law was to be ignored and
that ■ candidate who was unwilling to
let bis candidacy be passed upon by the
people was Jo be elected if possible by
Hie methods of the machine. [< was in
effect a compact in advance to nullify
the party will as it might be expressed
at the primaries. In connection with
that it is to be observed that then was
I particularly full primary vote in
Hudson County, and that in spite of
Mr. vis's strenuous efforts hi line
with his promise to Mr. Smith a large
majority of the Democratic voters ex
pressed their preference for soother man
than Mr. Smith for Senator.
The other point is equally interesting.
It baa bean slated that. Dr. Wilson wis
not a patty to' this understanding, but.
that, on the contrary^ lie consented to
become ■ candidate for the governor
ship only on the condition that Mr.
Smith should not he re-elected to the
Senate. Indeed, it has seta slid that
Mr. Daris's chief lieutenants and
trusted friends, who might be regarded
M his personal representatives and an*
voys, tars that assurance to Dr. Wilson
or to bis Brtendg, ami, that Mr. Smith's

representatiw <i''l the same Dr. Wilson
himself declares. The accuracy of that
atotf may be left to the warring fac-
Uona of New .Jersey Democracy 1" <le
tcrmiiu, if they ri!n - What is beyond
dispute is thai a great many Jerseymen
who \oted for Dr. Wilson did so iv
spite of The Tribune's warning, when if
they had only beaded it they would not
have voted I lie Democratic ticket at all,
and also that Dr. Wilson himself, hi
various public utterances, gave the elect
ors of the state the unmistakable im
pression that he not only was not a
party to Mr. Smith's scheme, but also
that be would not be a party to it and
would not "stand far" its execution. Ap
l-areiitjy t'nere was a marked conflict, or
ai ie;ist a discrepancy, of understandings,
the reconciliation of which promises a
spectacle whic.i will materially enhance
the gayety of nations.
y<)W (JIVE!
' The hortatory phrase is somewhat
reminiscent -old election times. Now
give! It used to he the custom on the
morning of an important election day.
after the campaigning was done and the,
tumult and the shouting, the brass bands
and still more brazen spellbinders had
ceased, to begin and end and punctuate
all the way through a final appeal with
"Now vote!" And we have a notion
that such articles did 'influence some
wavering and undecided voters. These
are not election days, but days of per
haps more universal appeal to the heart
of humanity. This is Hospital Satur
day and to-morrow, is Hospital Sunday,
and so the order of the day is, Give!
•A happy ■coincidence of the calendar
accentuates the appeal.. For this year
these days, which for many years have
been designated as the time for making
offerings to the hospitals of Xew York,
coincide with the great universal festival
of good -will, good cheer and gifts. Hos
pital Saturday is Christmas Eve, and
Hospital Sunday is Christmas Day. The
circumstance shook! surely inspire gen
erous giving. Indeed, it offers a happy
solution of many, a perplexity. It has
become proverbial that it. is burdensome,
not to make Christmas gifts, but to se
lect them. Now, here is a glorious
chance to escape some of that bother by
making the easy choice of giving to the
hospitals. And in so doing you will be
assured that, your gift is appropriate and
is appreciated.
It is thirty-one years since this beau
tiful, and beneficent custom was estab
lished in this city. In that time there
has been a pretty steady increase of the
total of gifts, though there have been
some fluctuations, reflecting conditions
of business. The winter of, 1906-'O7 was
the banner season, with contributions of
1108,11554, the only year in which the
$100,000 mark has beeu reached. But this
year, which has seen- so many records
broken in far less important matters,
should certainly see all preceding figures
for hospital contributions far surpassed.
There is no more universal appeal than
this. In the distribution of the bounty
there is no discrimination between Jew
and Gentile institutions, Catholic and
Protestant, sectarian and secular. The
only question is the amount of free work
the hospital has done in the year." So
there should be no discriminations
among (ha givers, but men and women
of all faiths, affiliations and associations
should feel a common interest in a work
which is for the common good of all. It
is the season" for giving. There is an
abundance of wealth for giving.' And
here is one of the'wortliiest objects in
all the world to. which to give. Now
give! • ■.-,..••■■■■- .* ■■■■:■■:■ ■
OR A BTS QUALIFICATIONS.
With Oiinsiderable indignation Sena
tor Grrady denies the report . which The
Tribune did not credit or publish, that he
Las taken himself out of consideration for
the post of temporary president of the
Senate. The denial was hardly neces
sary. Few who know Grady and Mur
phy credited that report: the few who
did had the wish as father Of their
belief.
Grady has smiled too long under vio
lent personal and political attacks and
official investigations to mind the little
flurry which a few Democrats are creat
ing iiow. }!<' wants the. leadership of the
Senate, be says frankly, and intends to
have it. But, more than that, Murphy
wants him there, and nobody can doubt
Murphy's ability to obtain anything he
wants in the present situation. The
sagacious boss discerns the possibility
of trouble in his Senate. One Democrat
from Manhattan — foolhardy spirit!— and
five upstate, men are reported to be un
impressed with the virtues of the Mur
phy legislative programme so far as
they have learned it. Six Democrats
with courage enough to vote against
Tammany— there were two in the Sen
are at one time, three years ago— would
disorganize Tammany's machinery there.
Such a thing is not to be thought of for
a moment. Therefore the necessity for
Grrady, the very man for such an emer
gency. His qualifications are undoubted.
"The New York World" deems him per
fectly able "to lead the renegade Demo
"crats and the renegade Republicans
"again." Murphy knows the success of
the job Grady did last winter in killing
off a direct nominations bill— a small
job, but still, well done. Under the cir
cumstances there was no need for Grady
to deny that foolish rumor.
CUTTING RED TAPE.
Government, red tape is harder to cut
than Harveyized steel wire. That things
have been done in a certain way for a
generation or two is considered an "un
assailable warrant for continuing to do
them In thai -way, although altered con
ditions have entirely removed the orig
inal reason for the practice. Secretary
MacYeaghi is now trying to get rid of
the antiquated law which compels the
Treasury Department bo demand coin
or coin certificates for customs duties,
although it accepts certified checks for
internal revenue and other federal taxes.
There may have been a good reason
forty-eight: years ai:o for insisting that
customs dues should be paid in coin,
there being at that time no coin certifi
cates. Daring the War of the Rebellion
the government needed gold to pay the
interest on its bonded debt and was glad
to have one source of revenue which
could be employed without shrinkage for
Hitcli a purpose. But since the resump
tion of specie payments all the forms of
Treasury currency have been at par
with one another, and it could make no
practical difference in what way duties
were turned in at the custom houses.
Yet the government still insists on coin
or certificate! representing coin, ami will
not Hike certified checks, thus incon
renlencing those who have to make the
payments and burdening itself, with the
extra labor of handling large quantities
of specie and currency.
Mtetrbants In tills city will bo glad to
know thai Secretary MaoVengh has pee
oniinr in f . •• I the .passage of a tan perunt
ting the. same .latitude in the payment of
customs, duties ftfl obtains iv the pay
ment of Lnternal revenue taxes. During
the panic of !!*>" cash was hard to pro
cure, and a itremitt'ii of from - to 4 per
cent had t»» be paid for it. But the cus
tom house was obliged to insist, on set
tlements in coin or coin notes, while in
all other sorts of transactions checks
were being passed. There is no likeli
hood of the nation's ever going again to
a depreciated currency basis and need
ing a source of taxation which will bring
in a sure supply of gold. It can. there
fore, well afford to repeal a law which
had its justification iii the trying days
of civil Strife, lint which has no effect
now beyond causing annoyance and un
necessary labor. Secretary MucVeagh'*
bill ought to encounter no opposition in
either branch of Congress.

The people of Florida seem to be liv

candidate in the second of this year's
primary contests, having died shortly

tion a prohibition amendment to the

small margin on the largest vote Florida

Some attempt was made in court the
other day to ridicule or condemn a rich
young man for complaining of a viola
tion of the game law, on the ground
that, being 1 rich, he had no need of the
share of the penalty which would accrue
to him, and also that his time ought to
be reckoned too valuable to spend in
such a pursuit. Those were false tac
tics. No man is too rirh or too im
portant to take an interest in maintain
ing law and order, and no man's time
is too valuable to be given to the pro
motion of justice.

THE TALK OF THE DAY.
An Englishman who spent two or three
months in this country this y^ar has de
vised a novel personal Christmas card to
send to the friends lie made when in this
country. It is a gilt edged folder having
at the top of the cover the line, "A link to
bind where circumstances part." Under
neath follow hii; personal greetings. Inside
are shown the American and British flags
in colors crossed. Beneath is the legend,
"Long may our flags float together and we
be friends." At the foot is the sentiment
from Shakespeare:
I count myself in nothine: OtM BO happy
As in a soul remembering my good friends.
Bolivar was very unhappy. One of his

CHRISTMAS.
Oh, say, you good people with plenty,
Don't look in your stockings to see
What Santa has brought you this morning
To cheer your prosperity.
But look you, instead, in the stockings
Which, empty, hang limp on the hook,
And let, from your own overmeasure.
Some Santa stuff follow your look.
Then you needn't look into your stockings
To discover what kind of a crop
The harvest of Christmas has brought you,
Because they'll Vie full to the. top. .

According to a Russian newspaper, Tol
stoy left three unpublished novels, one of
them fully as long as "War and Peace,"
and several short stories. Under a codicil
to his will these works are to be published
by his daughter Alexandra, for the purpose
of purchasing the Yasnaya Polyana estate,
which is then to be handed over to the
peasantry. The moment this has been ac
complished the international copyrights of
these books are to be surrendered, as a

tht> way "The Rochester Herald" speaks of
the board's action, winch was taken on
the ground that the secret organizations
"promote exclusive and undemocratic class
conditions, fix premature and artificial so

reßiilar work of the school, stimulate ex
travagant baitits and invivr a burdeaaMno.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
A NARROW ESCAPE.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: While on the subject. of hat pins,
permit me to call attention to another ex
ample of careless as well as dangerous
handling of this weapon. Last Saturday
Bight, while attending the theatre in New
York I saw a hat pin thrust through the
back of an orchestra chair and into a
gentleman's back, causing him not only
a sudden start, but considerable after
trouble. A timely i, -warning may save a
llko occurrence. • ■
A RELATIVE OF THE SUFFERER.
Asbury Park, Dec. 21,' 1910
, PRESERVE THE LANGUAGE.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I see that Wellesley College has de
creed that its students" must hereafter de
vote Saturday afternoons to "the study of
spelling and punctuation." "And," con
tinues the news item in question, "it is
rumored that a class in penmanship is
soon to be started." : r' ! v'
In my schoolboy days spelling was one
of the first "rudiments" that a pupil was
required to learn. But the preparatory
schools of the present day are too busy
giving their students a Emattering of
"high grade" knowledge to bother with
such common things as "reading, writing
and 'rithmetie." The perfectly natural re
sult is that a large percentage of our col
lege graduates are wretched spellers and
worse penmen. ' i ~ i ;v?:' i
Speaking of punctuation, I think the
"fad" of omitting points in magazine and
newspaper advertisements is doing posi
tive harm to young people. I have fre
quently had boys and girls make some
such remark as this to me: "What is the
good of learning punctuation when maga
zines and newspapers leave' out commas
and periods all the time?" This strange,
preposterous innovation is carried" to such
lengths by some 'magazine- publishers that
it is actually impossible to get at the
meaning of an advertisement until one
has read it over two or three times.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In your esteemed paper of Tuesday
last you said editorially: "if kerosene oil
of good quality can be sold in North Caro
line for 7»i cents a gallon, at a handsome
profit, we must wish that Old North State
conditions prevailed here."
Would it be too much to ask you to pub
lish the fact that, without the preliminary
of rubbing your oil lamp in the manner of
Aladdin, you have your wish? At the pres
ent time of writing the Standard Oil com
pany's tank wagon delivery price in New
York City for water white oil. l."> 0 degrees
test, is 6 cents a gallon.
In the petroleum business low prices are
reached for the company's products that
teem incredible even to astute editorial
minds. CHARLES T. WHITE,

NIAGARA ICE BRIDGES.
From The Niagara Falls Gazette.
The iirst ice bridge of the winter has
formed In the Niagara gorge. It comes
at an unusually early period, and so far
as existent records show is the earliest ice
formation Oi the kind in the last quarter
century. The Niagara ice bridges to-day
are not the great, formidable jams of ante
tunnel days, because of the wash of the
tunnel flow, which keeps the river open at
the point where the bridge was wont to be
strongest. The tunnel stream has a ten
dency to create ice jams above it. but they
are weaker and shorter lived now.
GERMAN DRIFT TO CITIES.
Berlin dispatch to The Chicago News.
Remarkable eviden.-e of the rapidity wiili
which Germany is being transformed iron
an agricultural into an industrial country is
furnished by the new census estimates.
The figures show that the cities of the em
pire are making great strides at the ex
pense of the rural districts. In IWO the em
pire had thirty-three municipalities with a
population of 100,00(1 or more each. Thero
are now forty-seven such cities, and thu
number of towns with a population of :>i«.>,
00" or more has grown from two tt < > seven.
T!;.- combined growth in popvhttiou of
furty of tli' 1 larger towns h aloin; about
half the increase recorded for the entire
empire, which is exnectt'd to be about i,
,"iOO,o<tO. The rapid progress of the Industrial
centres has an bnportant bearing on thu in
ternal situation, as the government's po

drawn from the. agrarian districts.
