ADOPTING REFORM pLANks.

A big step toward reform has al
ready been taken by the state legis-
lature in regard to what is known as
senatorial courtesy" and the killing
of bills in committees This was one
of the main features in the Colby
platform before the primaries, and,
although the Colbyites were defeated
throughout the state, it is significant
that the republicans in the senate and
the democrats in the assembly have
started the session by practically
adopting this Colby plank.
The Newark Evening News had the
following forceful editorial on this
subject last night;
Senator Hillery, the republican
leader in the senate, has Issued a new
declaration of independence. Speak
ing for his colleagues and striking
the probable keynote of the legisla-
ture of this year, he has pronounced
against senatorial courtesy and de-
nounced it as al unrighteous thing.
In his speech yesterday. nominating
Senator Minch for president, he said
Parties we will always have with us,
but offensive craftsmanship is disap-
pearing. There is now no excuse for
a legislator not doing his duty. The
public looks to the individual, not to
the party, and the Legislators cannot
hide behind party. Senatorial court
esy has throttled legislation in the
past. All bills in the future should
he disposed of in the senate.
Not less emphatic and significant
were The words of President Minch
in assuming his duties. The spirit
of Independence, he said, is dominat-
ing the public mind. 1t prevails
everywhere, and nowhere more than
in this state. ~Partizanship in public
affairs is frowned upon, and the only
pa%rtizanship that will appeal to the
people is that adherence to the right
demanded by men in every walk of
life After such %utterances as these,
made at the very opening of the legis-
lative session, the people have a right
