The custom has been established in Congress not to engage in any im portant business until after the holi days, and this year is no exception. This being the short session, ending March 4th, it is not expected much will be done beyond passing the ne cessary appropriation bills. The question of an extra session has not beeD settled as yet, and this wilj de pend upon the condition of public busmens at the close of the session. Uuder the law the only way this can be done is for the President to issue a call, if he does not do this, there will be no meeting until next December. The Democrats can force this action, but they are not certain that they want to do it not knowing what the effect will be on the country, and not withstanding their great desire for the five hundred House offices. The President will not issue the call if it can be avoided, especially as the Ad ministration is expected to find places for the Republicans who lose their jobs at the Capitol, and just now this would not he au easy task, but a year from now the ourlook may be better. It is rumored here that former Gov ernor Hughes is very much disap pointed at his failure to be elevated to the Chief Justiceship of'the Su preme Court, as it is claimed, he was promised when he consented to accept his present position as Associate Jus tice. It is hinted that by reason of this failure and his feelings in the matter, his name may be used, with or without his consent, in opposition to President Taft, as the most likely Presidential candidate. It is claimed that he can secure the New York dele gation to the national convention without opposition, and with this be hind him, the eastern states will ral ly to him, and while it is not sure under these conditions that he coaid secure the nomination, he oan diotate it, and in this way President Taft would be eliminated. It is conceded here by this ifi^e. politicians, that if the Democrats nominate Harmon and Wilson or Dix, that the Republicans must nominate s man who can oarry New York, and with the Hughes and Roosevelt element lukewarm, or sulk ing, Taft could not do this. > Who will be the Republican leader of the Senate, is uow a serious ques tion with that party. With Aldrioh, Hale, Bolliver and Beveridge out, and Lodge in doubt, there is no com manding figure left who measures up to the requirements and in whom the party has full confidence. Senator Root is a strong man and oomes from a great state, but he is not a political * leaders. Senators Cullom and Frye are too old and never were leaders. It therefore looks like Senator Cum mins will be the man though he is a pronounced insurgent. The Demo crats are not so handicapped. Sena tors Bailey, Bacon and Oulberston are able and experienced and can al ways be relied upon to look after the interests of their pals. The White House at this season of the year is a point of unusual interest. It is open to all visitors and the Pres ident has a speoial hour, from one to two, to receive purely personal call ers. New Years day, the President and cabinet, with their wives, hold a great reoeption, where the Army, Navy and Diplomats have set hours to call, while the common people are given two hours, from 3 to 4, and if the long waiting line does not get through by the time set, the doors are closed and the unlucky ones are obliged to wait another year. The indications are that the bill in creasing pension of Civil War veterans on account of age will come up for consideration in the House early in January. It is estimated that the pass age of this bill would add $45,000,000 to the pension roll. Representative Cooper, ot Wisconsin has introduced a resolution designed to expedite the passage of the measure. It provides that debate on the measure shall be limited to two hours, after which a vote shall be taken. Advertise in the Record, Trenton, Dec. 28—The Board o Pardons is meeting at the State Houst today for the purpose of considering 90 out of 150 applications for pardons The 60 other cases were eliminated b.i the hoard’s investigating committee I Governor and Mrs. Fort will tends a reception to their friends on Jan 4 at the Woman’s Club in Orange This will afford an opportunity to bit adieu to the friends before beginning the extended trip abroad that is to In undertaken on Feb. 1. It is to thi reception that Governor-elect Wilsot has been invited. There is no politi cal significance in the invitation oi in the event. The Postmaster General again rec ommends that the parcels post service on the rural routes be extended. At present the wagons travel with light loads. They have plenty of room foi parcels, and could handle them with scarcely any additional cost. But the present charge for postage is sixteen cents a pound, with weight limited to four pounds. The International Typographical union is the oldest American labor or ganization, and its activities are ot un usual interest to sociologists. This union has developed and maintains a home for aged members and a tuber culosis sanatorium which has cost more than $900,000; last year it spent more than $100,000 m pensions to aged members; it also has the usual strike and burial benefits. A hand some booklet announces that in addi tion to all this, the union is doing what so many are talking about—conduct ing a trade school. The Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany is experimenting with a smoke consuming device which, it practical, will mean much to those portions of towns through which the company’s trains run. The device, which is now being tried on several locomotives,con sists of a combined mechanical stoker and smoke consumer. The stoker is an underfeeding appliance, which con veys the coal underneath the fires in. the boilers. If the management finds that the smoke consuming apparatus is satisfactory the appliance will be ad opted. State Hospital Treatment for Nervous Persons. Physicians have received notice Dr. Evans of the State Hospital, Mor ris Plains, calling their attention to the voluntary committment act, passed by the Legislature in 1909. It affects persons suffering from nervous diseases or those oh the border line of insanity, but whose mental condition is such that they are able to signify their will ingness to become patients. But it does not apply to indigent patients: It applies only to patients who are able to pay a minimum fee of $7 a week in ad vance for at least three months. This is a form of procedure: The ap plicant must fill out an application blank to the medical director of the State hospital asking permission to be admitted as a voluntary patient, agree ing to abide by the rules and regula tions, and to give three days’ notice up on deciding to leave the hospital. The patient cannot legally be held beyond that time. . The advantages of this law are that patients will receive adequate treat ment in the early stages of their trou ble and that they will be relieved of the social stigma of having been legally de clared insane. ^'c CATARRH JjwhvER1 Ely’s Cream Balm is quickly absorbed.
