WITH a good majority in the House Of
Assembly the Republicans seem to be un'
der the power of the Democrat minority
and it looks as if 1.-The tail will wag the
dog" On Tuesday the Republicans held
a caucus to consider the resolution which
provides that "a request signed by fifteen
members shall be sufficient to relieve a
committee from further consideration OF
BILL" The resolution had been sent to the
committee on rules, and majority OF the
committee decided not to report 1t favor
ably. In the caucus there was long and
sharp discussion on the subject, and as
there did not seem to be any chance for a
speedy solution of the question, 1t was
moved that the caucus adjourn and that
the matter be fought out in the House.
This was voted down, and further discus
cussion followed until the meeting was
compelled to close owing to the arrival of
the time for the joint meeting. At the
session Of the House in the afternoon As

imagination of newspaper reporter or II
may have been another fake" story, but
there was funny one in the newspapers
last week with reference to the hearing on
the public utilities bill. 1t was to the
effect that q brother of Senator Colby
asked that the hearing might be extended
because the Senator was unable to be
present and wanted to have an expert
from New York to explain the bill which
he had introduced on the subject under

LAST week The News called attention to
the incorrect reports of interviews in city
papers and since then there have been pub
locations of occurrences that have been de-
clared greatly magnified and misrepresent
ed. One of them was the report of the action
of Senator Robbins on the public utilities
bill, in which he was represented as fight
ing his own bill. The report stated that a
feature of the hearing on the utilities bill
was an attack by Senator Robbins on the
administration bill which he introduced at
the instance of Governor Fort, and that
the Senator said the bill did not suit him
because he thought 1t gave the commits
sion too much power and that it did not
coincide with his idea on the fixing of rail-
road rates. The report further states that
Senator Robbins asserted his intention
to fight the bill on the floor" Perhaps
the Senator's own words will best show
the true situation and we give q letter
which he sent to one of the papers which
contained the report alluded to. 1t
follows:
THE report of what took place is grossly
inaccurate and absurd. made no attack
upon the bill which introduced Senate
No. So, nor did ! assert 1t was my inten-
ton to fight the bill on the floor.
"On the contrary, advocated the mea-
sure as the one Of all others before the
Legislature best adapted to meet and sue
cessfully deal with the conditions IN this
State. did express some doubt as to the
wisdom of giving any ratemaking power to
the commission In the first instance, giving
my reasons therefor. / admitted that the
rate-making power had been incorporated
in my bill chiefly because of the position
taken by Governor Fort in his inaugural
address and insisted that this provision as
contained in my bill was in the line with
the ideas of Governor Fort and not only
fairer to all concerned but less likely to
cause unnecessary alarm than that of any
other rate. making clause contained in any
of the other bills under consideration. l
signifed my intention of making some
changes in the bill by amendments to be
submitted to the Committee later on, and
urged the report of this bill by the Com
mittee in preference to any Of the others.
Those who know Senator Robbins will
not doubt his sincerity in this matter. and
there are few who are acquainted with
him Who will accuse him OF playing double.
He is not the sort of man who INTRODUCES
bill and then stultiies himself by oppos-
ing it. He generally studies all subjects
under consideration before he advocates
their adoption or rejection. He does not
have to send to New York for an expert
to explain his views.

ONE OF the greatest surprises that New
Jersey has had for long time was the
publication. on Friday, that special
grand jury In New York had indicted ex
Governor Foster M. Voorhees, for perjury
Mr.. Voorhees, was president of the
Bankers Insurance Company. of New
York, and he was given the position when
a reorganization took place for the pur-
pose of putting the company on better
basis than 1t had been enjoying for some
time. Perhaps the first mistake was made
when the Ex-Governor accepted the posi-
ton without thorough knowledge Of the
affairs he was to control. But he did &C.
cept, and was supposed to have acted in
creditable manner until the finding of
the grand jury was made public. The
charge Ia that Mr. voorhees, swore to
statements that have since been discovered
to be false. He says he did take
affidavit to many reports that were pre-
pared by subordinates in whom he had
implicit confidence, following the same
course that is pursued by heads of fnan-
cial institutions every day. He appeared
before the grand jury, at his own request.
and gave evidence which itseems operated
against him. He is not only willing but
anxious TO have the case speedily tried,
and is confident Of his ability to make
everything clear when the time comes.
Whatever the result will be it is hard to
make anyone believe that Foster M.
Voorhees, willing and knowingly com
mitted crime. Whatever faults he may,
like others, have possessed, dishonesty
has not been one of them.

A MAJORITY of the papers throughout
the state are of the opinion that the new
rule allowing fifteen members of the
Legislature to take bills from the hands
of committees is bad precedent and
likely to work harm for the majority.
This causes an up Jersey paper to rush to
the rescue and defend the rule as one of
the best ever proposed. and remarks that
sit is foolish minority that would thus
imperil rule of such excellence and q
cowardly majority that fears to put Itself
on record on any real, live issue" Very
nice views to put on paper, but the fact
remains that the Democrats have never
been restrained through ''foolishness" to
attempt to put their opponents In hole,
and the present minority is no exception
to others that have preceded It. One
must not forget that 1t took the votes of
the entire minority to pass the resolution
to change the rule, and then it will do no
harm to remember that In the years when
the Democrats had majority they never
saw the necessity for such rule, nor
would they allow bill to come from com
mittee unless 1t suited their ideas. Yet,
on this occasion the minority" shouted
louder for the reform than the other side
did. and its most prominent members
spoke long and forcibly in its favor. De-
spite all arguments to the contrary the
fact remains that the minority at the
present time has gained signal victory
over the majority.

TrMrraANor sentiment is growing.

TEMPERANCE sentiment is growing. In
Wilmington the Judges have issued an
order that all places where liquor Is sold
must be closed from eleven o'clock In the
evening until six in the morning This
rule went into effect on Saturday, and, as
consequence, the saloons did not open
at twelve o'clock on Sunday night as
heretofore. Free lunches have also been
prohibited. In Mississippi the Legislature
has enacted law on this subject to the
effect that after the first of April all hotels
and saloons must cease selling liquor. No
referendum clause was attached to the
Law, and people will not be allowed to
vote on the subject.

Pushers Hold Regular Monthly
Meeting at the Rock

MANY SUBJECTS CONSIDERED

Bridge Tolls and Annexation
the Topics.

The regular monthly meeting of the
the Rock Island Club last evening. AS
usual it was we'll attended, and the
spirit of enthusiasm and earnestness
characteristic of the organization,
which is the outgrowth of the COM
mittee formation that secured the
Greater Rock Island fund of $4,000,
manifested itself throughout the even
ing.
President w. NJ. Reck presided. and
the constitution and bylaws adopted
at the former meeting were reread
and the added provision incorporated
that the membership dues be 81 per
annum to defray Incidental expenses
of the organization. the cost of the
nner served in connection with the
meetings being as it is known paid
by the individual members.
Help Tor the Naval Reserves.
Secretary Mayer Levi read COM
munication from Commander S. r..
Davis of the Rock Island division of
the naval reserves. asking for the CO.
operation OF the club and such aid as
may be rendered in providing the di-
vision with a boat house contingent
upon the securing of which is Deepen
dent the governments proposition to
provide the division with two boats
valued at 81 900 each for the practice
of the reserves. 1t was set forth in
the communication that there are four
naval divisions in the state outside of
Chicago. located respectively at Alton,
Quincy, Rock Island and Moline, and
that all OF the other cities have made
provisions for accommodations for the
naval reserves in the way of housing
of boats which the government may
provide. Such boat house as would
serve the purposes here would cost
not to exceed 800. The suggestion
was made in the discussion that fol
lowed that the amount might be APP
pruprlated from the Greater Rock Is
land fund, upon the recommendation
made that the Industrial commission
and Tie trustees of the fund be re-
quested to allow the money required.
Upon reading the certificates of sub
scriptiOn to the fund. however, it was
discovered that the pledges were made
conditional that the money be expend-
ed solely for the industrial develop
ment and the territorial expansion of
Rock Island. In the light Of this fact
it was determined that it would be
useless to ask the Industrial commits
sion or the fund trustees to permit

than year old, has already outgrowr
its capacity for development. Ir
Schmidt likened the Tool company tC

to keep him in clothes. There is NJ
trouble about feeding it and maintain
