ITALIAN THRIFT.

That Italian labOrers save more
money at the same wages than any
other European immigrants is a state
ment made in a report Of the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor. 1t has
been shown by the records of con-
tracing company employing many la
borers of various nationalities in rail-
road construction that the actual cost
to the company for groceries, proyis-
ions, and payment for cooks, walters,
fuel, light, etc, at its boarding camps
was 10 cents meal, or 100 a week for
each man. The men were charged SIS
month for board and lodging. The
Italians at the camps of the same COM
pany lived mostly on macaroni, sauS-
age, cheese, sardines and bread, maca-
roni and bread being the staples, and
the Others used very sparingly. Most
of the Italians spent an average of So
a month for beer, cheap cigars and to-
bacco, which, with the expenses of 81
month for shanty rent, brought the
total cost of living up to about $40 a
month.
An examination of the records of
three railroad systems in New York
Pennsylvania and New Jersey for 1905
and 1906 gives accurate figures on the
earnings and cost of living of large
numbers of Italians under the usual
commissary system. The average earn
ings for representative month in 1906
for eighty-nine gangs, numbering ], $50
men, were S37.O7. The cost of all food
was $3.50, and shanty rent and sun
dries, Sl.40, or total of 1910, leaving
a surplus of S302S. These figures turn,
ish one of the explanations of the great
amount of money sent by postotiice or
deTS to Italy. In 1906 the amount sent
to all countries was $62, 435, 343, and Of
this S36, 79S, 5S2, or $50 per cent. went
to Italy and the Slavic countries. The
total amount sent to Italy was &c.
239, 1874, against $40, $50 ,42S to Russia
and Austria-Hungary, which countrie;
have twice as many representatives il
the United States as Italy.

GOVERNOR Fort sent to the Legis
lature last night special message
urging the passage of certain reform
measures pending before that body
and particularly advocating the bill
for the creation of State board for
the revocation of liquor licenses. In
his message the Governor says the
Republican party in its last State con-
vention and on the stump promised
the passage of these bills:
First-To enact a comprehensive
Civil Service law.
Second-To modify and simplify the
present primary law.
Third-To create a public utility
commission with ample powers.
Fourth-To consolidate all depart
ments and commissions of a similar
character.
Fifth--To pass constitutional amend
ments separating national and State
from municipal elections and also
authorizing the creation of Assembly
districts and recognizing the judi
ciary.
With respect to these pledges the
Governor says:
The obligation to do all these thin. s
is as sacred trust upon the legiSla-
tive and executive branches of the
government as the methods obtaining
in Republican form of government
can make it. The people of the State
If we tail in this duty may justly hold
us responsible, and we must in that
event stand without excuse.
The Governor in simplifying his ideas
of public utility commission says he
believes such commission should not
have rate making power on it's own
motion, but only in case of complaints
by MUNICIPALITIES or by a given num-
Der of persons.
The Governor declared the Bishops
law to have been the main issue in
last falls campaign, and the enforce
ment OF this law he holds can only be
accomplished through the passage of
the pending bill for the creation of
State board for the revocation of Ii
censes. The Governor says that IF
the Legislature shall adjourn without
legislation that will effectively secure
for all time the result of the last cleo
tion as to the maintenance of the
Bishops bill an assured enforcement
of the Sunday law the people will
have just cause to charge us with fail
ure to do high duty"
1.-The Governor also advocates the
passage of the so-called high license
bill, which increases license fees and
prohibits selling after midnight, as in
line with the promise made by him
on the stump last fall.
Prior to the converting of the two
houses last night, Governor Fort had a
conference with number of Repub,i-
can legislators representing thesregu-
lars and the New Idea members with
respect to pending legislation and
final adjournment. Nothing definite
was agreed upon at the conference,
and the Governors message followed.
1t is believed the Legislature will fin
ally adjourn on April 10.

THE SHERMAN LAW AMEND
MENTS.

The bill of the National Civic FEEDER
alton amending the Sherman anti
trust law seeks to transform that
measure from an act prohibiting com
binations into an act prohibiting the
unreasonable and improper restraint
of trade through combinations.
The new measure provides in effect
for the federal licensing of corpora
tions engaged in interstate trade, a
favorite device among those who have
considered the national regulation of
business combinations. 1t is pro-
vided that any corporation or aSsocia-
tion filing the necessary information
with the Commissioner of Corpora
tions, or, in the case of common car
riers, with the Interstate Commerce
Commission, may, if the Commissioner
of Corporations or the Interstate Com
merce Commission decides that the
contract or combination is not in I'M
reasonable restraint OF trade, have an
order certifying to that fact entered
by the Commissioner of Corporations
or the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, as the case may be. If such an
order is entered, then the combination
cannot be proceeded against under the
Sherman act unless it be proved that
it is in unreasonable restraint of trade.
In other words, no action will lie
against it simply because it is COM
bination or monopoly, or because it
does effect certain restraint of trade.
If it can convince the proper commits
sion that it is not bad combination,
it can get license; and if it has Ii
cense, it can be attacked only on the
ground that it is operating against
the public interest. If com bination
does not obtain such an order or Ii
cense. it will be amenable to the
Sherman act in all its rigors.
The bill also provides for certain
concessions to labor. Since the recent
decision of the United States Supreme
Court in the Danbury hatters's case
that the Sherman act applied to labor
union boycotts some doubt has existed
as to just how much further the Sher-
man act might affect labor organiza-
tions. AS reasonable capitalistic COM
binations have fallen under it's ban, it
was feared that the proper activities
of labor unions might find themselves
there, too. The Civic Federation bill
disposes Of such uncertainty by speci-
fically recognizing the legitimate func-
tions of labor organizations. 1t pro-
videS that the act shall not be enforced
so as to interfere with labor's right to
combine in order to accomplish the
usual and proper ends of unionism, or
with its right to strike. But labor re-
ceives no license to boycott. Capital
may com bine under official oversight,
but neither may abuse that great
power against the interest of the pub
lie.

REPRESENTATIVE FOWLER has ar
nounced that Taft and Fort are his
choice. Mr.. Fowler said in an inter-
view that he considered the Presidency
of the United States the first Office of
all the world to-day in distinction, re-
sponsibility and power. To it, he
said, should be called only such men
as typify what is best in American
manhood, culture and fitness. g In
qualities of heart, strength of charac-
ter, mental endowment, splendid
equipment and surprising expert
ence, he continued, There seems to
me to stand one man conspicuous
above his fellows, and that is William
H. Taft. For these reasons Mr.. Taft
is my candidate. But such candi.
date should have a worthy associate
and New Jersey should again take hel
place on the ticket with Ohio. For
tunate are we in having as successor
of Hobart the man who presented the
name Of Hobart to the convention al
st. Lonis in 1896. Already our jurist
Governor is eminent among the reform
Governors. The ticket of Taft am
Fort would be inyinclble; Therefore
let it be the ticket of every New Jer
sey Republican from this day for
ward.

Advantage of EARLY Hatches.

The early matches make the winter
layers. These birds usually mott about
the middle to the latter part of Septem-
Der and are therefore in full feather
by the time cold weather sets in and
are better equipped to begin laying
during the early winter than those
which do not begin to molt till late.
Chicks Matched the latter part of May
or during the month of June do not be-
gin to mott till the middle of Novem-
Der and are never in full feather when
the cold weather sets in. AS a result
they contract disease or lose flesh.

Cure For Stall enawinu.

Gnawing all wood within reach is
one of the commonest and most objec-
tionable habits among horses. The
habit fortunately can be easily cured
and should not be neglected single
day when observed, as it quickly
spreads, so that in few days every
horse when not otherwise occupied is
pulling the place to pieces with his
teeth, says Suburban Life.
Half pound of bitter aloes, mixed
with quart of water and boiled down
to pint, should be applied freely with
a paint brush to all the woodwork
which shows the marks of teeth or is
a convenient hold for the teeth. This is
always effective, more than one appli-
cation rarely being required.

DepIumins Mites,

One of the greatest hindrances to
profitable poultry raising is the tiny
"depluming mite" This insect, or
parasite, infests the feathers of the
neck, literally eating them off where
the base enters the skin.
A number of remedies are effective,
but it requires a great deal of patience
in application. Any disinfectant enc
part and lard three parts rubbed well
over the neck is effective. Ten drops
of carbolic acid in tablespoonful of
lard also makes a very effective mix
ture. Either remedy should be re-
peated in a week after the first appli-
cation.

GOVERNOR FORT, with his son Judge
Franklin w. Fort, of East Orange,
will occupy suite Of five rooms in the
Scheur building, Newark, after April
4. No law business of any account will
be done by the governor, though he
may, if occasion arise, act in an advis-
DRY capacity with other lawyers in some
cases. His chief object in joining
with his son in the occupation of the
offices, he states, is to have place in
Newark where he can meet persons
who may desire to consult him on mat
tiers Of State business, and to whom it
would be some hardship TO be obliged
to make the "trip to Trenton.

FORMER PRESIDENT GROVER CLEYE-
LAND has written a letter to the legis-
lative committee on fisheries and game
in which he expresses approval OF a
proposed bill prohibiting spring shoot
ing of migratory birds and water fowl.
Mr.. Cleveland says in part: have
received your letter of the 5th inst,
inclosing House bill 5O7 prohibiting
spring shooting Of migratory birds and
water fowl within your State. / am
unqualifedly in favor of the legisla-
tion. Nothing could be further from
the fact than that | am in favor of
spring shooting, which regard as I'M
sportsmanlike, terribly destructive
and tending directly to the extermina-
tion of our game birds. If l remember
rightly the old law used to permit the
shooting of shore birds after the mid
die of July, and l have sometimes dur
ing my summer stay in Massachusetts
awaited myself of the lawful privilege
of shootingcertain shore or beach birds
after that date. never could quite
understand why so early date was
fixed for such shooting, and | should
be very glad to. see a bill passed which
makes the first day of September the
earliest day on which they can be
killed. 1t cannot be possible that
have ever said anything which would
allow me to be quoted as being in favor
of an earlier date"

THE real cause for dissatisfaction
with the Hillery maximum tax rate
and the Avis county tax board laws,
says the Trenton "Times ., is that
the State Board of Assessors has not
performed it's duty and assessed the
railroad and canal property at some
thing like its real value. Hundreds of
millions of dollars have been added to
the ratables during the last two years,
but railroad property has not been re-
assessed for many years. Two new
members have been added to the State
Board of Assessors, and there may be
"a change in methods this year--only a
bare hope. To repeal the Hillery and
Avis laws now that private property
has been lacked up to the highest
not n will be soaking" the taxpay-
ers at both ends. Raise the railroad
assessments instead.

Feeding Oats as Hay.

An Iowa farmer thinks thrashing
oats is waste He says: 1 have DEM
onstrated to my satisfaction that oats
to be fed on the farm to any live stock
except horses at hard work should be
cut when quite green-the Nkernel in
the dough stage or when the first joint
of the stalk is yellow-and fed straw
and all. To thrash oats that are to be
fed on the farm except for the purpose
already named is waste of money,
and therefore l cannot afford it, and l
doubt if any farmer can.

Fire at Homer Davenport,s.

The pheasant house of Homer Dav-
EXPORT, located near the railroad above
Morris Plains, caught fire early last
Tuesday evening and for time made
blaze which was easily seen from
MorriStown. The burned buildings
consisted of central building, where.
in was the heating apparatus and food
storage and the sheds extending out
each side. All the sheds toward the
railroad were burned and a portion of
those on the other side of the main
building. 1t was feared for a time
that the other buildings, including
the barns and possibly the house might
go and help was asked from Morris
town. The chemical engine was sent
up and later the trucks red wagon
with load of tiremen, but the flames
had been put out before their arrival.
A large number of birds were either
burned or flew away by reason of the
destruction of that portion of the
buildings, including many pheasants
and game birds. The larger portion of
the buildings on the place however
still remain. 1t is thought that the
fire started from q cinder from pass
ing + ain.
