THOSE devotees Of horticulture VINO
raise holly-hocks, sweet peas, johnny
iumpups and roses in the front yard,
and cultivate tomatoes, radishes and
beets in the rear should write at once
to Representative William D. DAILY at
washington for a package or two OF the
seeds which a paternalt government
scatters annually among its dutiful chill
dren. The distribution of the Agricul-
tural Department for this year Is now
ready and New Jerseys allotment Is
something over 5000 packages. When one
considers that New Jersey is the garden
state Of the Union this seems rather
small allotment and it suggests the idea
that Messrs. Daily, Fowler Salmon and
other representatives have been paying
TOO much attention to the finances Of the
Nation and neglecting the horticultural
interests of their constituents.
Nevertheless the cold fact remains that
we only receive five thousand odd pack
ages. and those who won't be happy un-
til they get some of the seeds had better
file their requests early

tion OF Speaker. But the movement was
all talk and nothing has come Of it. The
State bosses have cracked their whip and
the South Jerseymen, like SO many cat
tie, have trotted into the Essex corral.
There is no longer any doubt that Es-
sex is to be the dominant power in the
next Legislature. The fact that the Gov
ernor appointed Senator McCarter's can
didate to an office when he was opposed
by almost every other Republican Sena-
tor in the State, the giving Of the Speak
ership to an Essex man and the prom
inence which certain Essex men now
have in the councils of the party, all
go to prove Essex's supremacy. The
crowning infamy Of the ascendency OF
Essex. however, is yet to come. It is
stated on good authority that, on Friday
evening, Carl Lentz, against whom the
most serious charges are still pending in
the Supreme Court, is to be made Chair
man of the Essex County Republican
Committee and restored to the place he
long occupied in the State councils Of the
party.
The Hudson Republicans need expect
no consideration from the Legislature as
long as Essex is in the saddle. The IN
sane jealousy which that county has of
the progress. thrift and public spirited
ness which have made Hudson the
largest and most influential county in the
state. blind her to all sense of equity
and good conscience and all she has to
know of measure either good or bad to
oppose it is that it came from Hudson.
