me.n shlrklng of Responsibility.

1.-The News, in its Trenton letter, yes
terday. told of the scheme of the Repub-
lican leaders to hire a lawyer to take all
the responsibility of killing bills that
they do not want to pass. 1t is about
the meanest device for lodging response
bility that has ever been attempted by
a legislative body.
The people are not such fools as to be
deceived in this way. They elect the
members of the Legislature to make the
laws. to pass on the issues involved in
them and to perfect their form so that
they shall be upheld by the courts. If
the Senate and Assembly cannot do these
things but must hire a lawyer to do
them, let us abolish the two bodies and
elect a good lawyer by direct popular
vote to make our laws. He will then,
at least, be directly responsible to the
people.
AS a matter of fact, the State retains
a lawyer, all the time, to perform this
service when called upon. The Attorney
General may be called upon for an opin-
ion on constitutional questions at any
time by resolution of the Houses.

We can recommend the following trees
for planting.
White cedar, yellow pine, white pine,
