MIR. COLBY AND
THE LIQUOR BILLS.

Some Of the regular republican
organs of the state have been chuck
ling because they are under the i'm
preston that Senator Colby had re-
fused TO vote either for or against
the mangled bishops bills" They
had accused him of coWardice, and
one Of them, the Camden Post-Tele-
gram, suggested that "the Honorable
William Parmenter Martin, Assem-
blyman from Essex, Colby leader in
the house. should send to his chief a
copy of his speech, lately delivered
in the house, in which he declared
that it was the duty of a legislator
to have his vote recorded for or
against every measure brought up
while he was present In addition
to these newspaper iabs at Colby,
State Chairman Frank O. Briggs, in
the matter furnished by his literary
bureau, further criticized the Essex
senator and animated that the latter
had been instructed to keep out of
the fight. and so be in a position to
claim the support OF both sides of
the controversy" In fact, rs Mr..
Briggs's hired man put it, Colby was
playing dead in liquor legislation. "
just uoN ldl Oil tANNN IIpCo hi'
criticism are from the truth may be
Judged by the action of Senator Colby
on Monday night. He had discover
ed that the records of the senate
showed he had not vored on the bill,
when the fact was that he should
have been recorded rs voting aye on
its final passage. He pointed Il
this blunder 10 mis- colleagues, who
at once agreed to d correction of the
record. and then he set forth in de-
tail his attitude on the matter OF
liquor legislation. He had voted
consistently against every one of the
amendments to The bill drawn by the
attorney of the brewers and submit
ted TO the senate by the chairman of
the Committee ON Miscellaneous
Business. But when he found him
self on the losing siue, he had joined
with the majority i'm voting for the
amended measure. lie admitted that
he had seriously contemplated vot-
ing against the bin for the reason
that he did no. believe it was cffec-
tive in securing the objects desired
by those who originally framed it.
He considered it,, i'm its manglcd ON
ditiOn, as largely It bit of legislation
intended 10 deceive the people INTO
believing that some substantial and
effective law lad been passed in re-
Spouse to a public demand. And yet,
there was, in his opinion, enough of
good left in the bill 10 make it worth
while 10 enact il into law, and so he
voted for it, but inc wanted it dis
tinctly understood that he preferred
the original bishops bills"
There was nothing of a comprom-
Use, an attempt to escape RESPONSE
bility, in that statement. MI. Colby
is no coward. He may make mis-
takes, but ne is not afraid to express
his opinion on public questions and
cast his vote as his conscience die
tates. If all of the regulars" were
as straightforward as the senator
from Essex, the people of the state
would be more satisfied with their
legislators.-Newark Evening News.

B. H. Ayres, as conductor Of the
band, has done wonders in grooming
his organization into shape. He is a
good disciplinarian and keeps the band
In line so that it plays with unusual
precision and with fine attack. He

altho his appearance on the stage

The band itself presented fine appear
ance and played with great spirit: In
of criticism. There is too much indi-
| vidual effort and not a sufficient sub
ordination Of the individual to the en-
semble effect. Each player makes his
| particular instrument stand out prom
inently instead Of making it part Of
an entire conception. With a more
careful attention to shading and Phras-
ing on the part of some Of the soloists,
the band will take high rank.
| Miss Frances Vincent was the soloist
of the evening, accompanied by Anna

in the best Of voice, gave good &C.
count Of herself. She did better with
her encore numbers, Jessie Gaynor g

and "Just a Wearin for You,n than
she did with the solos, "1n Spring

shows constant improvement toward
more artistic standards, and she is re-

"The present season has brought pro-
ducing managers of musical plays to a
crisis and to realization Of the fact
that there has been something wrong in
their methods of procedure,' says
Katherine Bell.
"Many of them have at once jumped
to thea conclusion that the public has
tired of that form of amusement, some
of them even going SO far as to declare
that they will make no more produc-
tions of that nature. Critics and news
paper writer's have gleefully pointed to
the passing Of the chorus girl, and have
not been backward in asserting that
her days of usefulness are over. For
my part, however, I do not believe that
any such deplorable state Of affairs ex'
lists. The fault lies not in that the pub
lie has grown tired Of good music and
pretty women, but that so much has
