Even the Newark Advertiser admires
the plucky and courageous letter of Gov
ernor Albeit on the financial difficulties
that the Supreme Court decision on
the tax act has brought upon the State.
Speaker Armstrong; little mean displays
of authority are bringing him more into
disfavor every day. Many of his party
colleagues regret now that William q. Cor
bin was not made Speaker, as he should
have been.
President Griggs shout define in his

Tom Noonan is proving himself an ar
dent advocate of the theory that a man who
works all day and all night is entitled to

Senator Youngblood was right on We'd
nesday, when he said that the amendment
to the street railroad bill, which
was rushed through the Senate before the

organized, as that bill doss, is vicious leg
| islation. The Senate should reconsider
| the vote by which the bill was passed, at
its session tomorrow night, and amend it
or kill it outright.
