DINNER TO TIE GOVERNORS.

"spell nation with big N, bat spell
The States with big s."
This utterance by Gov. Claude Swan
son emphasizing the point previously
made by Vice President Fairbanks and
Speaker Cannon, was the keynote OF the
speech-msking al the banquet given al
the New Willard, last night, by the
Washington board of trade in honor Of
the governors attending the White House
conference.
Hon. John Sharp Williams, 10 the
end subscribing TO the sentiment, added
that he would spell individuality with a
big a."
Tribute was paid to President Roose-
welt for his motive in Bringing the gov.
ernors, ard his speech 10 opening the
conference was commended by the vice
president for iis broad patriotism and
strength. But both Me-. Fairbanks and
Speaker Cannon plainly deprecated the
looking to Washington for the solution
OF problems which the states themselves
should exercise the right to deal with.
He urged that individual common
wealths take care OF their own resources
and not cast the burden upon the fede-
raj government. Mr.. John Sharp Will
lisms considered the speakers views un-
expectsdly democratic.
Altogether, the States rights note Was
observation-disclosures antsgonisiic 10 the
presidents attitude, but In mild protest
against too great naturalization 10 our
affairs and a further GENERALIZATION OF
power In the federal government.
Speaker Osnnon's speech was full OF
homely philosophy. Looking backward
aud contrasting primitive conditions
with those Of today, he saw no danger
menaclng the country through exhaust
Ing resources, but alphabetically pre-
dicted that human ingenuity and inyen.
ton would enable the States and nation
to grow and prosper and carve out q
future glorious beyond our dreams.
The other speakers besides those
uamed we're Secretary of the Treasury
Oortelyou, who incidentally eulogzsd
the president, and Representative Oush-
man, who closed with o brief talk.
Gov. Swanson said that today there
was no north, no south. no east, no
west, no discussions, just four columns,
supporting nobly the greatest nation on
the earth.
He thought the great problem Of the
country of today was not the production
of wealth, but the frat distribution OF
wealth.

wealth OF The many from being gather

ROYAL HOSTESSES WERE
YOUNG LADIES OF CHURCH

No social event in local church cir
cles that has occurred in months has
proven more delightful or greater
success than the entertainment given
last night in the parlors of the Con-
gregational church by the Young La
dies Club in honor of the Young
Mems Club.
1t was, indeed, an occasion memoir
able for its pleasure. Several hours
were spent in social chat, playing of
games and in the enjoyment of other
amusements.
At 1890 O'Clock the banquet was
served. The menu was elegantly pre-
pared and the service could hardly
have been better.
1t was near the midnight hour
when the happy throng dispersed, all
the young men being enthusiastic in
the congratulations offered the young
ladies on the success o. the affair.

The Lovers Line.
The dread line" We have with us
always, but the lovers line is some
thing new in Gotham. 1t is to be
seen at City hall, where every day
scores of young couples gather in
line. awaiting their turn at the mar
riage license window. Under tho
new law which became effective the
first Of the year, all applicants for
connubial bliss are required to ap-
pear before the marriage license clerk
| and bare their whole past lives before
being given the magic piece of paper
which will enable a clergyman, mag
istrate or alderman to marry them.
Doubtless the law was intended as
an aid to morality, but In its applica-
| tion it has been quite the reverse.
The present arrangements for the is
suing of marriage licenses make 1t
appear that the city officials consider
matrimony a huge joke. Many cou-
pies are required to stand In line for
hours and to serve as the butt OF
the City hall hanger-on and loafer be-
fore being given a chance at the IL
cense window.
To become the target of the cheap
witticisms of hoodlums is not a pleas
ant experience at any time. That re-
fined and sensitive women, at an
hour of their lives which they con-
slider the most important. should be
subjected to such treatment, is dis
grace to the city which boasts of be-
ing the center of American culture.

plished.

the city officials have shown them
selves lacking in sense. or, what is
worse. lacking in sentiment.

interfere in the relation of the sexes.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE New
York will so out of the subway
building business, II the recommended
tions made In the annual report of
the public service commission. to be
sent to the legislature on Monday,
are carried out. Private ownership
of new underground tubes and the
construction of them by private cap
ital Is regarded by the commissioners
as the only means by which the rapid
transit problem now confronting the
metropolis may be satisfactorily set
tied Three philanthropic persons
who are opposed to municipal owner
ship will find great comfort in the
decision of the commission, since II
implies the failure of the municipal
ownership idea.
When the last subway was built
the city sold construction bonds 10
the Belmont interests and with the
money obtained built the tube, which
was then leased to the Belmont In
terests for operation. By this meth
cd, the operating company not only
obtains the profits from the opera
ton of the subway, but also gets in
terests on the money used in its con-
struction. This method of "munici-
pal ownership" is very satisfactory to
longer available. Under the consti-
tutional debt limit provision. the city
cannot sell bonds at the present time
for any large amount.
Under the Elsburg law an operat-
ing company can obtain n lease for
only twenty years. By extending the
terms to thirty or forty years, the
public service commission hopes that
the difficulty in the way of the con-
struction of new subways may be
overcome. The change in the law
that the commissioners will recon-
mend will render 1t possible to give
franchises similar to that granted
to the McAdoo concern for the tubes
under the North river and up Sixth
avenue. This franchise was granted
before the passage of the Elsburg
law. and gives the company an oper-
ating right for twenty-five years. at
the end of which time. II the city de-
