There is no etraining for effect, no sociological or psychological problem to develop, no startling sensations and no blood spill ing except when Will Thornberry knocks down a gossip, loafing retail CT of slander against the woman he loved, and whom he thought he was loving in vain. It is story of every day people yet one which wonderfully erips the readers. attention and thought, dealing with ordinary homely life and events. There is depth and pathos and fine vein of humor.

TRENTON, Feb. 25.LUpon the as
surance of Sheriff Sommer of Essex
that he was not a candidate for the
proposed new common pleas judgeship
and would refuse the place If 1t were
offered, the opposition of the New Idea
men in the Legislature to Assembly
mar loung's bill is understood to have
beer withdrawn.
The bill, which proposes to create a
second common pleas judicial district,
was passed by the House last week.
IT is likely to be reported in the Senate
tomorrow, and may be a law before
the end of the week.
That the New Idea men were back
of the opposition the measure first en-
eountered has only just come to light.
1t emanated from the New Idea men
OF the Assembly. The reformers looked
upon the proposition as a plan to side
track the sheriff.
Before the bill was up for passage
SheriR Sommer said that Essex needed
another court to assist Judge Jay Ten
Eyck and he then assured his New

didate for the judgeship and would re-
fuse it.
The atmosphere thus cleared, the
erstwhile opponents of the measure
were persuaded from statistics fur
nished by Mr.. Young that the work
had grown to such proportions that a
new district was necessary.
