The opening gun in President Taft’s
campaign for constructive legislation
was fired when his special message rec
ommending amendments to the inter
state commerce law and legislation
supplementary to the Sherman anti
trust law was read in congress. The
president recommended :—That the
“United States court of commerce,”
composed of five judges, be established,
to have exclusive original jurisdiction
over (interstate commerce litigation.
That the commission be given author
ity to initiate complaints, that right
now being confined to shippers. Tnat
the commission be given authority to
prevent a proposed increase of rate
until it has investigated and deter
mined whether the increase is war
ranted. That carriers be permitted to
make traffic agreements subject to the
approval of the commission. That
shippers shall have right to choose be
tweeif two or more established through
routes to which the initial carrier may
be a party. That in the future rail
roads shall not own interest in com
peting lines, except under certain con
ditions. That Interstate commerce
litigation shall be placed under the
control of the department of justice
and its control taken from the inter
state commerce commission. That
the safety appliance law and the em
ployers’liability act be strengthened.
That there be enacted a general fed
eral incorporation law for concerns do
ing an interstate business and federal
regulation of the activities of corpora
tions created under such law.
The one hundred and thirty-fourth
Legislature of the State of New Jersey
convened at Trenton at noon to-day.
Morris county was represented by Ed
ward K. Mills, Senator, and Oscar B.
Smith and William F.j Birch, Assem
blymen. Both houses organized ac
cording to tlie caucus slates made up
a week or so ago, and notified the Gov
ernor that they were ready for busi
ness. Governor Fort sent in nis mes
message to the two houses which was
read and the usual number of oopies
ordered printed. The message was of
the usual length and set forth the
financial and other conditions of the
State in a clear manner Among the
recommendations were the revision of
the liquor laws aDd establishment of
corporation, motor vehicle and collat
eral inheritance tax departments;
the modifications of direct primary
and election statutes; an employers’
liability act; a State farm is favored ;
the location of butlings for prevention
or cure of tuberculosis should be sub
ject to permission of state board of
health. The message is published in
full in this issue and should be read
by all interested in State affairs.
At the request of Governor Fort,
Secretary or State Dickinson has noti
fied tiie Senators and Assemblymen
that the Legislature will convene at,
noon instead of three o’clock. No hour
is fixed by law for opening a session.
The day is specified In the Constitu
tion and the place named is Trenton,
not in the State House. Under the
Old regime the day was required for
canvassing and it was sometimes much
later than three o’clock when the
gravel fell. The Republicans have
changed this during the years they
had control, and tire caucus is settled
a month before the meeting.
In these days of oilice-g’rabbiug it is
refreshing to hear of the office seeking
the man with doubtful success. U.
S. Census Director Durand says that,
as a result of his conferences with the
supervisors as census throughout the
country lie finds tnat. in many sections,
especially in the larger cities, there
have not been as yet sufficient applica
tions for the positions of enumerators.
It looks, lie thinks, as if the country
is so prosperous that people are not as
anxious to get these responsible places
as bad been expected.
It is est imated that nearly $60,000,
000 in qasli was sent from this country
to Europe during the holiday seasoti.
And many a poor man no doubt stint
ed himself to save up something for
•f the old folks at home.”

HELPS SICK
CITY BABIES
Speedwell Country Homes So
ciety Is Doing Noble Work
for Tenement Children.
AUXILIARY COMMITTEE REPORT
To bring health and strength to
sick babies of the city is the noble
work the auxiliary coqpmlttee of the
Speedwell Country Homes society is
engaged in. The babies are brought
to Morristown from New York and
nursed back to a better physical con
dition than is possible in the dark and
ill-healthful tenements.
There is no limit to the age at which
a child is received though most of the
work is confined to babies. Any little
one, from a day old, is provided for.
There Is no limit to the number of
children taken provided the funds of
the committee are sufficient. They
are kept In the country, if their par
ents are willing, until they are strong
and healthy. The work of the society
is not confined to the summer months,
children being received at all seasons.
The work sought to be doie is along
lines of family life with Individual
supervision, instead of those of the
collective life with institutional
methods.
Mrs. Julius Catlin, the president, in
her annual report has this to say
“Two hundred and twenty-four
children have been taken from the
close, unsanitary surroundings of the
great city and their sordid homes, and
in our good air, and with the kind and
capable care bestowed on them by Dr.
Glazebrook, Miss Anderson and our
devoted superintendent, Mrs. Rigby,
the little ones begin at once to im
prove, and in place of the weak and
shadowy invalid, a liealty, happy child
goes home. * * *
“ Among the most appealing cases is
that of Louis Spino, whose mother
had been in the hospital a month.
This poor little fellow, three years old,
with another baby only one year and a
half, had been left to the care of a sis
ter of eight. He had been badly
scalded on the head. After being out
here for tive weeks he was returned in
good condition, having gained three
pounds.
“ Another interesting case was that
FilomeniaCala, aged eighteen months,
who was one of a family of seven chil
dren, the eldest eleven years old.
When Mrs. Rigby called for her, this
baby was having her dinner, which
consisted of tea and coffee mixed. She
was kept here for live weeks and
gained four and a half pounds.”
Mrs. W. North Duane and Miss
Swords, secretaries, narrate in their
report how “Four years ago the
Speedwell Auxiliary was organized to
help the work being done in Morris
town, by the Speedwell Country Home
Society of New York, for suffering
and convalescent little children from
the tenements of New York. Most of
the cases come from the hospitals or
through the city missions, and of
these nearly ninety per cent, suffer
from malnutrition and need the ten
der care, good air and intelligent feed
ing they get in the homes of our foster
mothers. Instead of maintaining an
expensive establishment with paid at
tendants, the children are placed in
carefully selected private homes, where
they are visited daily by Dr. Glaze
brook, and Miss A nderson, the trained
nurse. * * *
“ The board of the children, medi
cines and medical attendance with ti e
salaries af the trained nurse and su
perintendent are the only expense.
Firteen dollars will maintain a
child for a month, and this often
means not only the saving of life but
what is more important, the keeping
them from a life of hopeless suffering
and invalidism, where they will be
not only a burden to themselves but
to the community.
“This work besides benefiting the
babies is a source of income and often
a great help to the foster mothers.
“ During the last seven years, since
the society was started, $16,632.11 has
been paid for'lhe board of the children
alone.
“In the past year besides our annual
subscriptions we have had many use
ful donations of clothing, for which
we wish to express our hearty thanks.
As many children are brought out
from the city clad in little more than
rags, and when they are returned
they must be clothed throughout, we
can use ali that our friends are kind
enough to send us.
“Another donation which was very
much appreciated was a gift of ten
quarts of milk a day from July 22nd
to September 18ch, sent by Dr. D. H.
McAlpin, jr., from his dairy farm.
There are many cases who owe their
rapid improvement to his generosity.
The special work by whictr-the Aux
iliary supplemenis the work or the
New York society has been to pay the
salary of the trained nurse and the
chemist’s bill, not only for medical
articles but for large quantities of in
fants’ foods.
“ A sewing class was held during
Lent, at which 102 garments were
made.
“ We have also been able to allow
Mrs. Rigby $50 a month as a fund for
special cases, but unfortunately, since
June 1st we have had to discontinue
It, as the state of our finances would
not permit of this expenditure.’’

getting $95 per month. He had served
for twenty-six years and under the
new system he would receive #107.50.
But this seemed too large an amount,
evidently, for the town fathers re
duced the chief’s salary to $90 per
month and then tacked on the $12.50
additional for his long years of service.
Under the new system Sergeant
Morrison, now getting #75 and having
served sixteen years, will get #82.50 ;
Roundsman Ruff, salary #72.50, served
twelve years, will received #77.50;
Assistant Roundsman Hally, salary
$70.00, served twelve years, gets $75,
and so on down the line except for the
younger members of the force who get
no advance. The police asked for a
raise in salaries owing to the increased
cost of living but the raise given them
by the town does not aid at least sev
eral members of the force who are do
ing efficient work, though not having
served as long as other men wearing
the shield.
An ordinance was introduced by Al
dermen Reed taking a new hack” at
the local fire laws regarding buildings.
This time the chief of the lire depart
ment is made a building Inspector and
he has autority to issue building per
mits at certain sums per, according to
the cost of the work. The chief is to
have supervision of all erections, alter
ations and repairs except in regard to
the plumbing which must be passed
upon by the board of health.
The usual tax ordinance was passed
and a few bills ordered paid.
Mayor Ayers said the town should
take every reasonable method to avoid
suit in the proceedings brought by
Antonio Costa, the sewer contractor,
and upon his suggestion Town Counsel
Edward K. Mills was instructed to
conler with Riker & Riker, counsel
for Costa; the attorney for the Second
National bank of Orange and endeavor
to adjust the difficulty, reporting back
to the board at a regular or special
meeting, if the latter should be found
necessary.
Alderman Twining asserted that he
did not approve of the expense of pub
lishing the town treasurer’s report in
the newspapers but as it was provided
for by law he saw no way out of it and
upon his motion the report was or
dered printed in the ” Jersey man"
and the *• Banner.” 1
Alderman Twining presented the
constable’s bonds of Thomas F. Ducey,
William A. Lyons, Cornelius Hally,
Samuel Leonard, Robert W. Williams
and Erastus D. Coe and the collector’s
bond of David F. Bark man and they
were approved.

The Men’s Club.
The Men’s club, of the First Presby
terian church, will hold its monthly
meeting in the chapel Tuesday even
ing at eight o'clock and will be ad
dressed by Hans P. Freece, who was
born in the Mormon church, and is
the son of a plural wife. This will be
an excellent opportunity to, get reli
able and pertinent information upon
this live and growing question. The
growth of Mormonism is marked and
their recent movements in the politi
cal Held is of startling audacity. Mr.
Freece is well known, being booked
many months ahead in the Chautau
qua Held, although he is one of the
youngest men on the platform to day
The followiug testimonials are given
of him:
“ Mr. Freece is one of the brightest
young speakers we have had\ in the
east for a long time.”—John Willis |
Baer.
“ He is a fellow of fine character and
large ability. He has a great story to
tell, and argument to produce and it
is worth while to hear him.”—Cleland
B. Me Afeee, Brooklyn.
“ His natural gifts, his intense con
viction, his thorough knowledge of
the Mormon problems, combine to
make him an unusual advocate of an
important cause.”—G. N. Lubbeck,

In the entire decade from Jan
uary 1, 1900, to January 1, 1910, not
one passenger was killed as a result of
a train accident, due to operation or
proper equipment of cars, on the Lack
awanna railroad. This is exclusive of
mishaps from exterior sources. In
this period the road transported 193,
787,224 passengers, a number equiva
lent to about twice the population of
the United States. Each passenger
was transported an qverage of 19.91
miles.
The number of miles run by the
company’s passenger trains during the
period is 65,340,908, which is equal to
operating l£j,927 separate trains all the

the walking has been bad. Telephone

GOVERNER’S
MESSAGE
i CONTINUED FROM-FIRST PAGE]
less than one year. Prisoners sen
tenced for less than one year should
be sent to the county jail.
I further recommend that on all sen
tences to county jails the prisoner be
entitled to be credited with one day in
every six for good behavior, and that
the boards of chosen freeholders of the
respective counties be empowered to
make the necessary rules for the dis
charge of such prisoners by the ward
en or keeper of the Jail when in his
judgment the behavior of the prisoner
warrants the same.
I also recommend that the age
which offenders may be sent to the
Rahway reformatory be reduced from
thirty to twenty-five years. Experience
shows that persons over twenty-five
years of age should not be sent in as
sociation with boys under twenty
years of age.
Purchase of Supplies.
The present method of separate pur
chase of staple supplies for the several
state institutions is wrong. I recom
mend the creation of a state board for
this purpose, the board to consist of
the commissioner of charities and cor
rections and the official of each of the
institutions who now makes the pur
chases for it.
Recommendations For Institutions.
The following recommendations are
made for the needed betterment of the
several Institutions of the state:
First.—A house of detention for con
vict insane should be erected on the
grounds of the State hospital at Tren
ton. Such an institution should be
placed under the control of the board
of managers and officers of the State
hospital at Trenton.
Second.—A woman’s reformatory
should be erected on the property of
the state at Jamesburg and placed un
der the management of the board now
controlling the Boys’ home.
The state prison is overcrowded,
and this will afford needed relief.
There are forty-four women now con
fined in the state prison and from
thirty to forty in the Girls’ ^ome, who
should be transferred to the woman’s
reformatory.
The reformatory should be con
structed for the detention of 150 and
in such a way that a wing could be
added for fifty more in case of future
needs. This would probably answer
for the next twenty-five years.
The Girls’ home management ask
for an appropriation of $30,000 at this
time to provide a disciplinary build
ing at the home if the older girls now
there and being sent there are to re
main.
New Departments.
In my inaugural and my first mes
sage the creation of three new de
partments was recommended—namely:
A department of corporations, a de
partment of motor vehicles and a de
partment of collateral inheritance
taxes.
I still adhere to the view that the
interests of the state, greater efficien
cy and a larger revenue would result
from such action.
The revenue from motor vehicles
last year was $245,196.55. The ex
penses of the management in the of
fice of the secretary of state were
$36,566.30. Greater and closer super
vision should if possible exist over
motor vehicle operation than at pres
ent. There is n<3 proper supervision of
agencies. Their financial methods are
not carefully guarded, nor are they
in any way examined or audited. A
commissioner, with a reasonable force
of assistants, should be created and
the agencies inspected and all matters
of license kept under careful surveil
lance.
The collateral inheritance tax law,
passed at the last session, Is a tech
nical act and requires skill and con
stant attention to details to secure the
full benefit to the state which should
be derived from it. The total revenue
from this source the last fiscal year
exceeded $569,000, which was an in
crease of over $322,000 over the pre
vious year. The revenue of this de
pertinent could be largely increased
if proper vigilance were observed.
Public Utilities Commission.
At the present time there is abso
lutely no control in any authoritative
way over the public serving corpora
tions of this state. If they give good
service, well; If poor, the people are
without remedy. If they charge for
gas or electric light or for telephone
or express matter excessively there is
no place to which appeal for relief
may be made.
There is a statute which prevents
the sale of bonds at a'less price than
80 per cent of their par, but it in no
way prevents the capitalization of fu-‘
tures or of combinations in the same
line of business. The law should be
clear and stringent against any at
tempt at the merger of public utility
companies or the issuance of bonds or
Stock by such companies except upon
the approval of some state board.
The burdens which the people of the
state now bear are the outcome of
consolidations and mergers which
have frightfully overcapitalized these
public utility enterprises.
If the public serving corporations of
the counties of Essex, Hudson and
Passaic and other parts of the state
had not been overcapitalized in excess
of any reasonable theory of the outlay
necessary to construct them it would
have been possible, even allowing for
a large profit to the stockholders, to
have long ago had eighty cent gas and
a great reduction in the cost of elec
tricity. The consumer has no place to
go for relibf against any exactions,
inequalities or neglect, and a long suf
fering public must submit and allow
all this to continue unless a commis
sion with ample power to protect and
relieve the people is created.
The Republican party in the state
platform on which the present govern
or was elected declared, "We pledge
ourselves to enact a law providing for
a commission with ample jurisdiction
and powers to enable it to regulate
public utility corporations effectively
and authoritatively.” There is no am
biguity in this language. The platform
of the Democratic party was equally
clear.
There is absolutely no excuse for
not keeping this pledge, except that

Newark, New Jersey
Urires Asylum for Criminal Insane.
Dr. Britton D Evans, medical di
rector of the State Hospital for the
Insane, at Morris Plains, in making
his annual report to Governor Fort,
corroborates the contention of Dr.
Henry A. Cotton, medical director of
the State Asylum at Trenton, to the
effect that both institutions are great
ly overcrowded and that there is ur
gent need for the erection in Trenton
a separate asylum fur the criminal in
sane, of whom there is a constantly
increasing number.
It Is pointed out by the directors of
both asylumns that many patients en
tered as indigents have relatives who I
can well afford to support them. A
thorough investigation of this kind
resulted in fourteen years’ back pay
being paid to the state for one patient.
Dr. Evans urges better pay for asy
lum attendants and the erection of
shacks for consumptive patients, to
gether with some employment for
those who are able to work.
Stops Lameness
Much of the chronic lameness
in horses is due to neglect.
See that your horse is not al
lowed to go lame. Keep Sloan’s
Liniment on hand and apply at
the first sign of stiffness. It’s
wonderfully penetrating — goes
right to the spot — relieves the
soreness — limbers up the joints
and makes the muscles elastic
and pliant.
v Here’s the Proof.
Mr. G. T. Roberts of Resaca, Ga.,
R.F.D. No. i, Box 43, writes: — “ I have
used your Liniment on a horse for swee
ney and effected a thorough cure. I al
so removed a spavin on a mule. This
spavin was as large as a guinea egg. In
my estimation the best remedy for lame
ness and soreness is
Sloan’s
Liniment
Mr. H. M. Gibbs, of Lawrence, Kans.,
R.F.D. No. 3. writes: — “Your Lini
ment is the best that I have ever used.
I had a mare with an abscess on her neck
and one 50c. bottle of Sloan’s Liniment
entirely cured her. 1 keep it around all
the time for galls and small swellings
and for everything about the stock.”
Sioan’s Liniment
will kill a spavin,
curb or splint, re
duce wind puffs and
swollen joints, and
is a sure and speedy
remedy for fistula,
sweeney, founder
and thrush.

“The HeJ mention of Aunt Mary."
Here Is what the New York Herald
of November 13th, 1907, had to say
about May Robson, who comes to the
Academy of Music, New York, Janu
ary 10th, for two weeks only :
“Standing like an oasis in a desert
of dreary and weary plays, « The Re
juvenation of Aunt Mary’ with May
Robson in the title role will be held
by many as the best comedy seen here
in years. This statement, while it
may seem extravagant, Is entertained
by the audience which greeted the
opening performance.
* * * ‘ Space forbides an extend
ed review of the play. Sutltce to say
that the story deals with an old maid
aunt, not the crabbed sort, but a sweet
motherly woman whom country life
has made sharp. A visit to the city
and a taste of high life with her
nephew, whom she had disowned for
his escapades, shows her what life
really is and rejuvenates her: makes
her young in spirit as she really is in
years, and brings about a happy end
ing to all of their lives.
* * * “To praise the favorlties
would be to print the programme.
Without being claimed or advertised
as an ‘ all star cast’ r.he supporting
company without exception, seemed
to live rather than act the sweetest,
simplest play of the season. In Jack
Storey, as .John Watkins jr., Jack
Denham, the college nephew of mani
fold scrapes, Miss Robson has a sup
porting lead who is excellent. His
piano work and singing were both ex
quisite and gave an added charm. His
college chum, Clover, Walter Poulter,
Bob Burnett, Francis Herblin, Mitch
ell, Paul Decker, there was assembled
a trio of collegians who Jiave the play
a dash of New York town that pleased
exceedingly. The character work of
Nina Seville, as Lucinda, was good,
as was that of the other character
parts. The rest of ttie cast was in
full keeping with the leads. (Jne cf
the brighest lines of the play was the
last.: 1 The Lord intended all of us to
be happy, but some of us don’t know
how to go about it ’ ”
