LEGISLATURES
1910 RECORD
[ooNrINUED FROM FIRST PAGE

Heretofore there have not been many
interpretations Of the law and practise
covering the governors rights in con-
sidering bills after the legislature has
adjourned. Governor Fort has decided
that all bills not acted upon within
five days from the date of adjournment
are dead
The total number of chapters of the
laws of 1909 were 272 and of 1908 322.
That does not include, of course, joint
resolutions which passed both houses
and became laws through the govern
or's approval. The volume of laws of
1910 will contain 308 chapters, many
more than was anticipated.
Including a few recalled at the re-
quest of the governor at total of sixty
eight bills, most of them measures
that originated in the house, were
killed after passing both house and
senate. This is a record-breaker for
vetoes.
The first house bill signed, and the
first act of the legislature to become a
law, was No. 157, which was approved
March l. All house bills signed or filed

THE facts in the alleged scandal
story at the closing of the Legislature
were sifted pretty thoroughly Wed
nesday and they PANIED out pretty
small. A Trenton contractor accom-.
panied by two women, one said to be
the daughter of an ex-official in Tren-
ton, went to the ladies' gallery about
midnight to see the horseplay that
usually marks the close of a session in
the House. This party was invited into
the room occupied by the Supervisor
of Bills. Then young clerk or page
was sent out for some bottled beer.
He carried it in by way of the ladies'
gallery, thus escaping notice. The
beer was absorbed out of sight from
the Assembly Chamber and during
the midnight recess the party retired
from the State House. Rumor said
that three House members visited the
room during the time the visitors
were there. The strange part of the
whole business is the readiness of Sc
many of the clergymen of the States
who are supposed to be the opponents
of that charity that thinketh nc
evil, !" to believe this improbable story
and denounce the law makers by
wholesale.

THE very important matter of the
town beautiful is very largely in
the minds of our citizens at present,
and is sufficient excuse for the amount
of space given to the subjects in the
newspapers. 1t is high time that pub
lie sentiment is aroused simply from a
mercinary standpoint. There is a
general movement toward the country
on the part of New York people, and
unless there are some particular rea-
son the tendency is to 20 where there
are the greatest inducements offered.
Morristown is an old esta blished town
and real estate values are much higher
here than the average, and if we are
to compete with other places we must
have greater Inducements to offer in
the way of town improvements, better
schools and other things that appeal
to the suburbanite, 1T can safely be
Said that no other suburban town
within fifty miles of New York pre-
sents SO unattractive an outlook from
the railroad as does Morristown,
especially the station and surround
ings. Hence it is very important that
we should be brought to see ourselves
as others see US and the meeting in
the Lyceum on Wednesday evening
should be crowded with seekers after
the truth and not simply curiosity
seekers.

MAYOR GAYNoR proclaimed his
views on the excise problem and on
the control Of the social evil to three
hundred clergymen gathered in the
assembly hall of the Metropolitan Life
building last week. He spoke for the
policy he has ordered for enforcement
OF the liquor law, and said that it
would prevent much graft. The may
or, first describing the liquor situa-
tion, began as follows ~" Now, we
have here in this great community
about ten thousand liquor saloons, l
think. They are established by law
the same as in England, and we must
deal with them accordingly. That is
the one fundamental thing that de-
sire of all things to impress upon the
people of this city, and especially up
on the executive officers of the city
the police officers of the city, of all
things that the only way in which
we can effectively carry out the law Is
the way which the law itself pre-
scribes. Indeed, it is criminal Of
fence to do it in any other way. Yet
there are few people in this town
who, to resort to word individuals
used when ] was boy. are always
ready to sic the police on to do some
thing that is disorderly and contrary
to law, to arrest people when they
have no right to arrest them, only to
let them go the next morning for
their lack of complaint, in free coun-
try, after being locked up over night.
/ want in the first placed to try to i'm.
press upon everybody that my great
desire is to proceed according to law
and succeed just as far as we can sue
coed under the. law, and take my word
for it, my reverend friends, that if you
can't succeed in the manner prescribed
by lawyou can't succeed at ALL" This
advice is pertinent right here in Nor
ristown.

NONE of the socalled g Liberal Sun
day bills' got through both houses of
the Legislature. The Wilson bill, de-
signed to permit the special licensing
of resort hotels to sell liquor with
meals Sundays never left the Senate.
The Edge bill, planned to meet condf-
tions in Atlantic City by giving the
residents the option of voting upon
Sunday selling, failed of passage in the
House. The dwell Sunday baseball
bill, which passed the House, stuck on
on the ways in the Senate, and the
situation regarding Sunday obser-
vance, with all its complications as
to the seashore resorts, will continue.

"THE work of the recent legislative
session is cleaned up and the total can
be considered as whole,'' says the
Jersey Journal" 1.-THE first thing
that will attract attention is the num-
Der of bills which were defeated, near
ly two-thirds of the total. The scares
invented for political purposes failed
to become laws. The average newspa-
per reader forgets at the time bill
is being exploited that there is broad
difference between the introduction Of
a bill and securing for 1T place on
the statute books. The total number
Of bills introduced was 1902, but 5l4
of these failed to pass, and Of the 378
that did get through the legislative
mill 62 were vetoed by the governor,
SO the net product Of the session was
3OS laws. This is about the average
for a session. Many Of these laws
are Of local application and no doubt
the number which have general eff
feet is quite small The laws are now
being printed and in a month will be
within the reach of all. Then it will
be found that the interests about
which so much has been printed, had
very little interest in the legislation. !"

REBUKES HOUSE COMMITTEE
DIR. Humphreys says He Was Grossly
Insulted.

| Insulted.
The Tribune Bureau says that
DR.. Alexander q. Humphreys, of Nor
mandie Heights, president Of Stevens
Institute of Technology and a gas en-
gineer of international reputation,
gave well-merited rebnbe to mem
bers of the District of Columbia Com
mittee of the House Of Representa-
tives at Washington, on Wednesday.
II have never been treated so dis
courteously by any body of men before
which have testified in all my long
experience. / have never been so
grossly insulted as l have been by
members of this committee, he said.
DR.. Humphreys was asked to appear
before the committee on the Godfrey
resolution to prohibit the Washington
Gaslight company from increasing its
outstanding Indebtedness by issues of
certificates. Several members of the
committee, all advocates of the bill,
persisted in asking questions, and
while the answers were being care
fully given by DR.. Humphreys turned
their backs and talked to one another.
The questions, too, were asked in a
manner which indicated clearly that
these members did not care for DR..
Humphreys opinions and wanted
him to know it.
He allowed the hearing to proceed,
but just before it adjournedhe made the
above remarks, much to the discom-
fort of the committee. Later he re-
peated his impressions to Representa-
tive Cary, of Wisconsin; Coudrey, of
Missouri, and Rothermel, of Pennsyl-
vania. The three men took the re-
marks calmly and made for the door
as quickly as possible. Mr.. Cary adj
vanced toward DR.. Humphreys and
everybody thought an encounter was
imminent, but the Wisconsin Repre-
sentative put out his hand. Dr..
Humphreys, in a casual manner, put
his hands behind his back and Mr..
Cary slipped out the door. DR.. Hum
phreys was warmly congratulated by
number of persons in the room who
we're Disguised with the conduct Of
certain members of the committee.
