j. M. E. Hildretf
for Speaker

AS a rule the matter of who may be
the next Speaker of the Assembly is
one that is early discussed by the peo-
pie, as well as by the leaders of the
party. We find that in reference to
this item the newspapers of the upper
part of the state, especially, that our
OWL representative of Cape May, Hon.
James M. E. Hildreth, is being gen.
orally favored as their choice, for the
speakership for the next session of the
Legislature.
Mr.. Hildreth has been a member,
but two years, yet in that time, by
his courteous and affable manner add
ed to his intelligence and ability far
above the average legislator, has be-
come very popular at Trenton, and
prominently known throughout the
state as one of the rising and efficient
members of the House. Those quail
fications, and the fact that Cape May
has e. been favored with the
speakership, have doubtless received
the due and thoughtful consideration,
that this was the most fitting time to
be just and generous to Cape May
county. We congratulate Our towns
man on the general and worthy men,
ton that has been made of his name.

What Legislators Should Be.

at is time, says the Camden Cour-
Ter, Ito return to the proper idea, that
~law-making is a serious thing and re-
quires men of thoughtful, judicious and
intelligent action" The time to return
to that idea is just prior to the holding
of the county convention for the nomi-
nation of legislative candidates. These
long range reflections have no peril
nency.
The criticism of one Legislature in
this State applies to all in a legislative
record extending back for years. 1t is
always the same story, a wasted half of
the session and at the close a dumping
upon the Governors hands of some
hundreds of bills, not a few of them
faulty and nearly all bearing evidence
of inconsiderate haste.
Governor voorhees,, who while a
legislator had shared this common in
trinity, sought, when Governor, to cor
rect it by announcing that he would
not give any attention to bills after the
legislative adjournment. This guber-
material resolution did no particular
good. There was a madden rush to get
bills through in the closing hours ofthe
session. the Governor signed bills with
out time TO give them proper eXamina-
ton, and a mass of bills that would
otherwise have come to him after adj
journment Were converted into waste
paper.
The fault lies to a great extent in the
leadership of the Legislature, which,
f II n thing, permits committees to
hold bills, upon all kinds of pretexts.
There are no rules to govern the actions
of the committees. Except in cases
where public hearings are demanded on
bills a time limit should lie placed on
all bills i'll committee. That would be
one means of expediting business in
the first half of the session, and it would
also lessen the influence of the lobby in
C mmittee rooms. The legislative body
should at all times have complete
command of its business and give nc
warrant to a committee or individual
member to keep a bill off the calendar
1t is well said that our Legislators
should be ''of thoughtful, judicious and
intelligent action" which includes
promplness of action. The dilly-dally-
ing by a Legislature invites reproach
upon the members individually, and
there are men in the Legislature who
feel it. The just criticism that our leg
islators incur also serves to deter many
good men flom taking nominations fol
The legislative office, and that is harm
full to the public interests. 1t is not
) always practicable, therefore, to get for
the office the hest type of men such as
the Camden Courier would elect.-Ne.

BASEBALL LEADERS
DISPLEASE STUDENTS
Harvard Men Sore on Authorities for
Permitting One Game to De-
eide Championship.

BOSTON. Mass, July S.-By allowing
the eastern championship to hinge on
the result Of a single game on grounds
that were not neutral. Harvard's base
ball authorities have drawn upon them
selves much criticism from the Grim
son students and alumni The folly or
the one-game series was demons trated
when Yale took advantage of Co5urns S
Homentary weakness and obtained
safe lead, which proved enough to win
the championship.
For their folly in agreeing to abide by
the result OF this one game Harvard
has lost prestige in one department of
college sport, IN which she certainly exI
ceiled. The Crimson baseball team has
been matter of great pride to the uni
versity for the past seven years, and
during that time Harvard has turned
out seven champion teams.

suggested that Cornell's varsity eight.
which won so handily by twelve lengths
az Poughkeepsie. this year. compete at
the next Henley regatta in England.
The proposition has been viewed with
favor at Ithaca, as the 1906 eight is be-
iieved to be the best crew Cornell has
ever had and one of the best American
eights that ever sat In a shell.
If sufficient funds could be raised and
the Cornell faculty would give the men
leave OF absence, it might be possible
for the veteran coach, Charles Courtney,
to develop another fast eight.
Did Fine Work.
The varsity crew, which has done such
wonderful work this season. defeating
Harvard by seven lengths in a mile and
half, and the entire intercollegiate
field at Poughlseepsie by twenty-five
lengths, viii lose but two members of
this years boat, and should be able to
do even better when they try conclu-
sions with the college next June on the

| Captain Boesch, who halls from Wash

| College of Civil Engineering, and will
not be found in the boat in 1906. He was
a member OF his freshman crew and
rowed in the varsity that was defeated
| by Syracuse last June.
Strong oarsman.
George Foote, No. 5, 1s the other man
who will leave the boat this year. He Is
one Of the strongest men that has ever
sat IN a Cornell shell. and his loss will
be keenly felt. He has rowed No.
I ~, t,se

second varsity which defeated Harvard
| and Pennsylvania on Cayuga lake In
1901
! From the four-oared crew Cornell will
lose but one man, c. D. Barnhardt, who
rowed No. 2. He has sat in many shells
during his college course. He made his
numerals IN his freshman year and has

PREPARE FOR PRINCETON

Although the time is hardly ripe for
gossip on the outlook for football teams
at the different universities, arrange
ments are already under way for the
training of nearly all the large squads
OF the different sections of the country
Heretofore Georgetown has done lit
tie or no preliminary practice, but In
view of the fact that the Blue and Gray
has been considerably handicapped in
the Princeton game, which is one of the
earliest on the schedule, 1t is intended
to do considerable training before the
college opens.
Although the team of last year had
been intact but three days the men went
to Princeton and succeeded in holding
the Tigers TO ten points, all of which
were scored in the last few minutes of
play.
Practice in Country.
This year DIR. Reilly hopes to some
what offset Princeton's advantage in
the way of practice by taking a num-
Der of the Georgetown candidates to a
nearby farm which is owned by a Blue
and Gray alumnus aAd there putting
the players through a course of pre-
liminary sprouts which will get them
into fine fettle for the annual contest
with the Orange and Black
There are only a few positions on the
Georgetown eleven that Will have to
be filed next fall, but DR.. Reilly and
Captain McGettigan hope that by taking
the most likely candidates into hand
early they will be able to enliven COM
petition and keep the players going at
top rate until the Carlisle Indian

Reseeding Done in wasco.

The Dalles--Farmers whose crops
were damaged by the severe weather Of
February have about finished reseeding,
and the new-sown grain Is coming up
nicely. II is estimated that about ten
per cent OF the fall-sown grain in the
county iroze out, and had to be reseed-
ed. This has been heavy expense on
those whose grain was frozen, and as
spring sowing never yields as good
crops as fall sowing, unless the season
is unsuually favorable, the wheat crop
this year will be somewhat shorter
than that OF 1904, although, so far, the
weather has been most favorable, and
crops are making an excellent growth
The season is at least n month earlier
than last year, which viii enable the
gardeners and orchardists TO market
their crops early, and thereby get the
advantages of high prices that always
prevail early In the season.
