PLENTY of talk, but few laws. This
in nutshell is likely to be the record
of the final session of the Sixtieth Con-
gress, which will open next Monday
and close March 4. Big things are
pending, but in the opinion of lead
ers, they haye not been rounded up
sufficiently to pass muster at the short
session. Outside of appropriation
bills, it is not expected that there
will be any important legislation en-
acted. Economy will be the watch
word and they say that the appropria
tions for next years expenses of the
government will not run much over
&,000,OO0,000. 1t will be necessary to
skimp bit, because Uncle Sam has
spent nearly S50,O0O,0 900 more than his
income since July l, when his fnan-
cial year began. Treasury experts
figure that the shortage on June 80,
1908, the end of the fiscal year, will be
about Sl0O,0OO,OO0.

SUBSCRIPTION BATES

IT is the expectation of the Republic
can leaders that Arizona and New
Mexico will be admitted to statehood
during the present session. If this
programme should be carried out it
will give statehood to the last of the
territories in Continental United
States, and perhaps shut off for a great
many years to come the admission OF
new members to the family of states.
The blue field in the corner of the
American flag will be crowded to the
limit when stars are added for Arizona
and New Mexico. There will be forty
eight all told. This will equalile the
membership in the three classes of
United States senators by making
thirty-two in each class. According to
the constitution one-third of the men,
bership of the United States senate is
renewed each two years. There are
now ninety-two senators so that one
class has thirty and the Others thirty
one each. When the family of states
comprises forty-eight members there
will be ninety-six senators so that the
division into three classes will give
equal representation to each.

Those of our citizens who remember
the scandals attending local elections
in Morristown when licenses were
granted by the common council will
agree to this statement from the Tren-
ton Advertiser 2 IS To elect excise
commissioners isan absurd proposition.
The duties are executive and judicial
and the department. should be part of
the executive and judicial. The laws
tell what the commissioners are to do

to be obeyed, not the views of the pub
lie at the time when an election is
held"

Our of a population of about six hun
dred in the Soldiers home in Kearny
there were eighty civil war veterans
who entered the last roll call during
the fiscal year. If that great percent
age of deaths among the Kearny vet
erans should continue, a half dozen
years would see them reduced to a

veterans yet in the sixties of their life,

receiving at the home may live to be-
come octogenarians as did forty-two Of

In introducing Mr.. Taft at Toledo

him unreservedly, and in the course Of
his remarks said:

cation. He is deeply religious

Tafts Idea Of Character.

files which led one to describe Mr.. Taft

tleman' l learn that the candidate
himself, within q month"; has defined
Just what Importance he attached to
Christian character in the building OF
q successful career. The question had
been put to him to develop his personal
views, and writing in response the Re-
publican candidate said:
"Your question suggests two others
which must be answered in answering
this: First, what is a Christian char
career? First, l consider Christian
character that of one who holds as his
ideal a compliance with the two com
mandments given by Jesus Christ, and
who earnestly strives to live up to that
ideal Second, should define sue
cessful career to be that career which
brings more real happiness to those

fession If leading clean and up

righteous deeds is to be counted, then
l am confident that his neighbors and
fellow-citizens who have lived with
him and know him well, without re-
gard to creed, color or party associa-
tion, would say that Taft has lived and
acted in every station as Christian
gentleman"
Democratic Inconsistency.
The Democratic leaders have been
for years making loud declarations
against corporations and trusts and
railroads and have, nevertheless, In
stituted no legislative steps In all this
time for the purpose of restraining
abuses. They are now indignant that
the Republican party, in carrying out
the promises of its own platform, is
putting into practice the principles
which they, with a superb self-compla-
cency claim are really covered by a
Democratic patent-Hon. VIM. Fl. Taft,
