" HERE are times when even the
Senate shows sympathy with
the victims of some of the meas
ures it passes. That was proved the
other day when Assemblyman Vreden-
burgh's bill, allowing commissioned
officers of the National Guard to retire
at the age of 81 years, and compelling
retirement at the age of GA, was passed.
While everyone voted for the measure
on the ground that 1t. would be best for
the guard to be put on the SAM stan
Hard of efficiency as the regular army,
there were no votes cast in, a very Joy
Gus spirit.
No names were mentioned at the
time. but later in the week a message
came from the Governor recommend
ing that Brigadier-Genera r. Heber
| Breintnall, retired by the law, be ac-
corded brevet rank -one degree higher
than he held at the time of his retire
ment. The message was referred to the
committee on Judiciary and was re-
| ported this week. In addition to the
! recommendation that the Governor
| request be %concurred i'm the committee
presented a memorial for adoption.
1t set forth that General B%reintnall
had seen long and efficient service IN
the guard and had done much to bring
it UP to its present high standard. INT
memorial was presented by Senator
Frelinghuysen, chairman of the
judiciary committee and majority
leader. and was seconded by Senator
Fielder, of the minority. Both told o
the generals services to h whole
country in the Civil War and later II
the Spanish War and united in com
mending him for the work he had don
for the State.

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

For the fiscal year ending June 80. 1908, thu people OF New Jersey IN then
aging districts voluntarily taxed themselves to the amount of S7142la33 fr
The nuhIc schools. besides paying a State school tai of $bSSO777o. In three
wars he people paid in State school taxes so 1925 @15 and in local school taxes
30 e4s 5bs 20. a total of s8l3as554a5. These figures show the devotion OF tn
peone to pubuc education. OF the cost Of the schools 6s7 per- ent is paid out
AZ voutarv taxes in the districts and only 313 per cent by the State tax
Furthermors the people Of the school districts have bonded themselves to thu

Irrotdes that the money raised by State tax shall be expended only or the pay

furnishings n repairs and jannors salaries and extras must b paid out of the

Victim of New Retire-

FILLING A NEED

..E-
eral B%reintnall was commissioned as
lieutenant-colonel of the First Regi-
ment, New Jersey National Guard VOL
unteers, and served until his discharge
in the fall of the same year. At Camp
Alder, where the Newark Regiment
was stationed, he was secon in COM
mand, and as such had the entire care
of the regiment.
Besides all his training in the duties
of an officer the general knows consid-
cradle about the other end of military
work as well. He Is an expert rifle
man and has qualified many times as
marksman, sharpshooter and expert at
Sea Grit.
He was one of the very few officers
affected by the new act who did not
oppose it. He held that if it was goins
to better the service it should be passed
and put no obstacle in the way of the
bill becoming a law.

THE LEGISLATIVE OUTLOOK.

All thu important work of the State Legislature is before the Legislature
vet TO be performed Next Monday night the session will enteru pon its tenth
week. There are hearings yet to be had and the problems brought up by the
red-herring question of a State treasury deficit must be threshed out The
senate wants to adjourn sine die next Saturday. It's committees ire hugging
bills thato ought to have been reported long ago. The appropriations ire to be
licked inos statutory shape, and the items will call for much debate; since they
al heal mon the deficit question. The Governors principal appointments are
yet to be made and cited on by the Senate. With all this accumulation Of
business and work the Senate would assign about FIVE days of the session, which
means the sacrifice of nearly all the important measures introduced. including,
II is feared. the principal administrative bills.

Of his address Professor Burdick re
viewed the story of the trial of Paul,
as ST.. Luke, viewing it from the legal
standpoint, but reported it to us. He
said: -" =
=. II submit that a careful study of St.
Luke's account Of the great trial Of
ST. Paul will convince anyone that he
is entitled to equal praise as law re-
porter. Il do not know of any historian
who has embodied.tin his narrative an
account of a judicial trial so satisfac-
!, tory to a lawyer as is this by Luke;
one in which the various stages are ac-
cdrately followed, and matters Of pro-
cedure as well as of substantive law
are presented with the certainty of him
who spoke from personal knowledge. I
think. that the; sacred writer, preserves
perfect GOODNESS throughout his report.

The sentiments which obtain in this
local are very emphatically voiced by
it's Secy-Treas., Ed Perrott, for he
says, that. lin the face of all the
narrow minded bigotry that the lust
for gold has ever fostered, and not
withstanding the glaringly outrageous
attitude of a prejudical judiciary, the
trade union continues to grow and ex-
tend it's influence, and the union shop
with all it stands for, will eventually
be universally established"
History teaches u.s. continued Mr..
Perrott; that when all is said and
done, it is the sum Of humble every
day efforts of individuals that &C
complish the most valuable results.
Beneficial changes are the result of
untiring endeavor on part consecutive
generations, for the betternent Of
conditions, and the membership sof
local No. So, are contributing in their
own unpretentious way to the attain
ment of this end.
1--WE are enlisting the cooperation
and sympathy of our women folks.
We invite them to our meetings and
get the benefit of their judgement and
tact. That's the kind of women suf-
frage that counts"
I'VE hold stated social meetings and
have most enjoyable time at every

tainment, we nave members that com
pare favorably with professional ar

Our local is prosperous. Practically
all our members are luceratively at
