lREsULTs OF THE LEGISLATIVE SEES
SION.

The longest session of the New Jer-
sey Legislature since the adoption Of
the State Constitution finally adjourned
this morning. Like the humble bee its
business end was it's tail. The regular
session occupied fourteen weeks, and
1t was almost barren of results. One
act by the House, the appointment OF
a committee to investigate State ex-
sion from June Is until today. The out
come was wholly unexpected, but in
whatyhas resulted 1t affords some graft
fication. Both Houses were spurred up
as the Legislature never was before,
and there are on the statute book, or
win be, laws that probably under other
circumstances never would have got
theres
In important respects the Legislature
failed. The public utilities bill was not
passed, and there will be no general
surprise at that fact. 1t was impracti-
cable to reconcile the Senate and House
on that Measure and especially on the
rate-making power, and this result
may give a new direction to the politi-
I cal campaign. The senate civil service
bill was lost. The Railroad Commits
sion is left to draw unearned big sal
aries. The Riparian Commission can
now get away with all the most valu-
able remaining tracts of the school
lands before another Legislature meets.
The voting machine is left to vex the
voter and be manipulated.
But there are some good enactments.
Among them is a direct primary bill,
a bill for popular choice of United
states Senators, bills for reform in
State departmental expenditures, a bill
bringing the State Guard under the
Dick law. and for Newark a bill pro-
ding for a referendum on the ques-
lion of municipal purchase and inn
provement of the city's water front,
and for a waterway across the mea-
dows, as ommen by the BOARD
of Trade.
The principal interest of the closing
/ session attached to the public utilities
bin. the main point of which was the
rate-making power. The House amend
ments provided that the commission
should fix the rates. that the commis-
sion should be elective, that the penal
feature should include a fine of 1000
for each offense and that full-term
commissioners should be appointed by
the next Governor. On these amend
ments the bill was wrecked, and it
will be left to the Legislature that is
to meet next January to enact a bill
& of some character.

Candidate Katzenbach did not rise any in the opinion of
honest, thinking men when, in his Jersey City speech, Friday
night, he said the voting machines are of the devil and ought
TO be abolished. If Mr.. Katzenbach's ambition is to be Gov
ernor either by fair means or foul, he can probably succeed
better with the machines out of the way, but we do not be-
ieve the Democratic candidate is that kind of a man. Mr..
Katzenbach wants an honest election, aud he can best secure
that by having voting machines in every precinct in the State.
Perth Amboy News.
So far as Essex County is concerned there is no difficulty
about having honest elections either with OF without voting
machines. The wen-nigh universal objection to the machines
hereabouts is due to the fact that they discourage independent
voting and are conducive to the voting of straight tickets. The
way in which the machines are juggled around indicates that
the experience swith them is pretty much the same all over the
state. I'M.

The Republican-Hears combination
in New York would be grotesque if it
was not SO sordid. 1t is purely an ar

ITO the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Kindly print in your question column a
brief history of the part played in Ameri-
can politics by the Know-Nothing party.
B. S. L.
1.-THE ~know-nothing party was a secret
political party ordanized in 1853 for the
purpose mainly of opposing foreign-born
citizenship. AS early as 1895 an attempt
was made to originate some such move
ment in New York city. This movement,
however, ended in failure before the cleo
ton for Mayor in 1887. The feeling, how
ever. was again revived in 1s43. In the
following year the same native feeling
was extended through New Jersey to
Philadelphia, where several riots occurred
between native and ~foreign-born citizens.
The agitation resulted in natives holding
the majority of offices for several years.

What Secretary Taft said at the banquet
given in his honor at Shanghai relative to
the relations of this country and China
was, of course, no more than a repetition,
but a very emphatic one, of the John Hay
doctrine. The open-door policy, well as 1t
has worked to the benefit of China and
our export trade, has yet to see its greatest
results as China enters upon its new era,
political and commercial. 1t should be
guaranteed now more firmly than ever out
of first consideration for China itself; and
If there is any lurking suspicion there that
the United States would suffer parties to
the old agreement to ignore it or that it
is not today the same earnest of mutual
good will, there is complete reinsurance
for the Chinese in Secretary Taft's speech.

In 1862, however, when the sectional con-
test as to the extension of lave territory
became SO strong, and when the Democra-
tic party was receiving reinforcements
from immigrants, the old opposition to
foreign-born people again appeared, but
this time in the form of a secret oath
bound fraternity, whose objects were not
even made known to its own members till
they had reached the higher degrees.
Whenever any questions were asked the
members by outsiders, they would say,
II don't know" and from this circum-
stance the popular name Of "know-noth-
ing was given them. In the elections of
1854 they appeared as a well-disciplined
party, carrying Massachusetts and Della
ware. and in the following rear they
polled 1921 82 votes in New York State
and made great strides in the South. In
the Presidential campaign of 1856 the.
k~now-nothing party was called the
American party and presented Willard
Fillmore as its candidate. He carried
Maryland. The party soon disappeared
from the political feld.-Ed.]

Since his reelection to the Office of District Attorney in Man
haitian William 7. Jerome has steadily declined in public favor.
He was renominated in spite of the political bosses, but the
traction and other interests helped in his election. He has be-
uayed the people, from whom his powers came. He has failed
in his plain duty in the face of palpable crimes. To him was
accessible all the evidence about the footing of the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company now being brought out by William M.
WINS before the Public Service Commission, but he declined to
act. He is still apathetic, and it may be necessary for Gov
ernor Hughes to appoint a special District Attorney to do Jer-
ONES work in prosecuting the rascals Jeromes backshding is
lamentable, but his fate may serve as a warning to others who
think that they ire smart enough to serve two masters. Today
he couldn't be elected to the smallest and meanest Office in

Possibly the Essex County Grand Jury may have something
to say about the action of the Newark Police Commissioners in
authorizing violations of the automobile speed law by one class
in this community. The Commissioners have exceeded their
powers in taking such a step and it is a serious question
whether they have not laid themselves open to indictment. AT
any rate they have acted contrary to sound public policy and
lit is imperative that they be obliged to promptly recall their
authorization to violate the laws.

GONFESSES HE WAS A SPY
ENSIGN ULMo, OF FRENCH NAVY,
ADMITS GUILT IN COURT.
Anti-semitie Paper Asserts Magistrate
Has Proof of German Ad-
miraI's Completely.

Paris.-Ensign Ulmo, who was ar
rested last month at TOulon charged
with being a spy, confessed his guilt
Thursday when confronted in court
with the original of a telegram which
he had filed at Toulon, addressed to
an agent of foreign power.
The dispatch had been written in a
disguised hand and was not signed.
but before handing it in to the clerk
Ulmo absent-mindedly made a cor
rection in his own handwriting and
gave his own name to the clerk in
compliance with the regulations re-
quiring the name of a sender of tele-
gram.
Ulmo told the magistrate that the
foreign power in question had re-
fused his offers to sell information on
the ground that the price he asked
was too high.
The Libre Parole declares that the
connection of Admiral Siegel, the Ger
man naval attache here, who has just
been recalled, with Ensign Ulmo, has
been established by documents which
are now in the hands of NJ. Leydet,
the examining magistrate, who is in
quiring into the charges against Ulmo.
The paper adds that their correspond
ence was carried on through Hebrew
Intermediates, but that a personal
meeting between Ulmo and Siegel oc-
CURED in Paris last August, and that
Siegel's recall was due to the fact that
he was compromised.

Turn up the ribbon beyond the bottom
of this small pocket, and, after hem
ming the cut end, oversew the sides
together to make the larger pocket
Sew the sides of the smaller pocket in
with this seam. The upper edge should
set about an inch below the top Of
the shallower pocket already made.
The front of this part of our bag
may be ornamented in any way the
worker pleases. 1t is a good plan to
sew lace applique in the center,
using fine cream-colored cotton to
match it exactly. The top Of the pock-
ct may be either bound or hemmed, as
preferred. 1t must be pleated up as
narrowly as it can be and finished
with a bow or rosette. At the back
large hook should be sewn on by
which the pocket can be attached to
the waist.
Similar receptacles for handker-
chiefs, keys and other trif1es may be
made, if preferred, with one division
instead of two. Also ribbon of mar
rover width may be employed if the
pocket is to contain nothing more
than handkerchief.
The number and variety of bags
that may be contrived with the help of
ribbon scraps are practically endless.
A great deal of the effect of many Of
these depends upon the method of
joining the ribbons. They may be
simply scanned together by hand or
machine, or they may be united by
lines of herringbone, fancy feather
stitch, open herringbone, and other or
namental arrangements Of stitches.
The strips of ribbon when thus en-
ployed may be of any width, from half
an inch to three inches, and of any
color, provided that they harmonize
fairly well. It is good plan, when
practicable, to unite them all with
narrow bands of black velvet, or with
very narrow ribbon of some dark and
inconspicuous color.
