Getting First Hand Facts.

Sixty of the Democratic mem
bers of the House Of Representa-
tives are utilizing the holiday re-
cess to make a first hand study
of conditions in the Panama
canal zone. Inasmuch as the
canal is eating up government
money at the rate of several
thousands of dollars a day the
Democrats hold that it is their
duty to see, personally, that thus
money is being wisely and prop
erly spent. The question: Ct for
tifying the canal will come up
soon, and as this will mean a
large additional expenditure, the
Democrats propose to know
just why and where this money
is to be expended. Hence they
are taking advantage of the tenn
porary letup in affairs at Wash
ington to investigate.
Speaker Clark has urged all
the Democrats to visit the canal
zone at some time, and praeti-
cally all of them propose to fol
low his advice. This is in
line with the announced Demo

An important point in c

An important point in con-
nection with the President S
message on the WOODEN schedule
has escaped attention.
1t is this; Mr.. Taft is Civ
ing the people a discourse on
wool instead of cheaper woolens.
Whether the President s message,
which doesn't tell Congress amy
more about the difference in the
cost of production at home and
abroad than it knew before, will
be accepted by the country as a
satisfactory substitute for cheap
er and better clothing, which he
promised in his prediction of
speeches, and was i'm a position
to give but flatly refused by We

wool bill, remains to be seen.
Here are some facts which
will aid the reader to reach a
conclusion as to whether the
President is now, ever was or
ever will be in good faith with
the public when it comes to I'M
terferring with the profits of the
tariff trusts which make big cam
paign contributions to the Re-
publican party: When the
Payne-Aldrich bill was passed Mr.
Taft said the wooden schedule of
that measure was 'indefensible, .
and that he would Like to see it
revised and revised downward.
At the extra session of Congress
Democrats and progressive Re
publicans passed a bill reducing
the abnormally-high tax ON wool
ems in a sincere and patriotic at
tempt to tighten the burden of
taxation to the users of w%oolenS.
Had the PRESIDENT signed this
still it would have meant a re-
duction this winter in the prise

But the President vetoed this

SEWAREN FIVE
HAS TROUBLE
May Not be Able to Sc
cure a Court.

The Sewaren A. G. basketball
quintet will probably present an
other problem at the county league
meeting tonight in Midtown. 1t is
understood that the Sewaren Club
cannot get the Parish House for
their home court. In this case 1t
would change the schedule greatly
and different arrangements would
have to be made. OF course, IL Sc
warren can get another court for
their home one, then nc trouble will
arise. Without a home court the
Sewaren quintet would probably not
be admitted to the league. And so
If the Sewaren A. G. will drop from
the county league, or will be barred,
the league will have no trouble, al
there Is another team willing to take
the place of the Sewaren team with
the same court, at first proposed to
be Sewaren's court, which is the
Parish House In Woodbridge.
Woodbridge players compose the
team called the Parish House Five
which wishes to take Sewaren's
place. If Sewaren gets another court
for their home one, then the Parish
House team will probably be refused
admittanee to the league, as II OF
the leagues rules states that the
county league shall be composed OF
not more than seven teams. Who
will be the seventh team in the
league depends probably upon
whether or not the Sewaren A. C
will have a home court.

TEAMS TIE IN
CLASS SERIES
Interesting Contests in Bas-
ketball in High School.


Clara H~anson's crew of warriors
came to yesterday afternoon and
voted themselves a victory yer the
Juniors, making a tie between all
the teams in the class championship
series. Every team has a percentage
of 500, making one game lost and
won by each squad. AS usual, Miss
Hanson starred for the Seniors, scor-
ing the total number of points credit
ed to her class. The final score was
10 to 8. Dorothy Greenbaum shot a
field goal while Claire Pfeiffer Gagged
a goal from the foul line for the
Juniors.
The race between the girl teams
will probably be one of the best the
local school will see for a long time.
The teams are very evenly matched
with one star forward on each teams
lineup.
The second contest found the
Sophomores in a runaway from the
Freshmen crew. Wesley Davis, who
seems to have struck his stride
again, scored eighteen of his teams
twenty-eight points on eight field
goals and two goals from the foul
line. The shots Davis made were
very spectacular and brought forth
great applause from the large as
semblage. Parker also played a fine
game for the "Sophs," caging four
field goals. The final tally was 2S
to 6. Dametch and Quackenbush
! played we'll for the Freshmen.
Two more inter-class games will
be played tomorrow afternoon on
the high school court at 4 o'clock.
The Misses Smith and Fletcher
refereed and umpired respectively,
while "Bill" Reynolds, the lanky
Riverside forward, oficiated in the
second contest to the satisfaction oil
all.
