MONDAY

Senate Amends Sunday Law.
1daho's Sunday rest law was
assaulted and defeated ignomini-
ously in the senate today. AS a
result of the "word battle" the
senate committee Of tie whole
recommended for passage the
Potts bill giving to municipal
councils and village boards the
right, upon petition by citizens,
to grant permission to moving
picture houses and theaters to
operate on Sunday. Many a.
mendments were offered and
voted down. One of these, by
Hornibrook, limited the permis-
sion only to the afternoons of
the Sabbath day, while another
by Macbeth made it mandatory
for the council to act when peti-
toned.
First New County Bill Passes.
The first county division bill to
pass either house went through
the senate creating the county of
Bonneville, formerly known as
Snake River, formed out of the
north half of Bingham county.
But four votes were registered
against the measure under sus-
pension of the rules.
The senate made a special Or
der of tina Kerns employers liza
bility bill for Wednesday after
noon, after the present law on
the statute books had been pro-
nounced a "joke" by Senator
Hornibrook.
The Idaho State Bankers as
sociation launched it's state bank
ing bill in the upper house, call
ing for the creation of a banking
board and throwing about state
banks the proper protection.
This measure came from the COM
mittee on banks and banking.
Senator Haight introduced a
liquor bill prohibiting the sale
and handling of Intoxicating liq-
uors and to regulate the issuance
of licenses, as we'll as to provide
for special elections to vote on
the liquor question.
An adverse report was brought
in by the judiciary committee on
the resolution applying the init
ative and referendum to proposed
constitutional amendments.
Won't Badger Senator Hepburn.
The house by a vote of "a to
25 refused to call for the reply
of Senator Hepburn to the me-
mortal of the Idaho legislature
asking the adoption of the reso-
luton calling for a constitutional
amendment making United States
senators elective by direct vote,
the letter having been received
by Secretary of State Clifford.
By unanimous consent five
days more time was granted for
the fling of charges against for

afforded an opportunity for the
display of the wit of a number
OF the members, who were not
slow in seizing the opportunity.
The bill was not laughed down,
however, but is recommended
for final passage.
The daily grist of new bills
was unusually large at this ses-
sion, one more new county meas
ure proposing still further to
divide Nez Perce county, making
its appearance. 1t is proposed
to create the county of Craig,
with Reubens as the temporary
county seat.
The house bill appropriating
S12, 600 for the purchase of Hey
burn park in. north Idaho was
passed. Loud and prolonged
roars of laughter greeted the
declaration of Senator Lee, re-
publican of Elmore county, who
in all seriousness served notice
that when the house bill calling
for the purchase of Hepburn
park on the bank of Lake Coeur
d'Alene came up in the senate
he would, for the benefit of fut-
ure generations, offer an amend
ment changing the name of the
park from Hepburn" to Dixie"

song.

Randall County Bill Up Today

The Randall county division
bill is up for passage in the sem
ate today but it's defeat is al
most assured. While the merits
of the bill will be fought out in
committee of the whole the ad-
verse report of the lines and
boundaries committee, three to
two, will react against it and will
be hard to overcome. Powerful
influences both private and cor
porate, aside from any opposition
from within this county, have
been against the passage of the
bill since its introduction and will
doubtless encompass its defeat.

USING THE CLUBS.

Mayor Gaynor is reaping the fruits of his
own liberality in the present disturbances
In New York, caused by the strike in the
street cleaning department. Ever since the
mayor took Office he has been more or less
OF q protector of what may be called the
lawless clement. We do not say that he has
done this purposely. The fact that police
men nave been severity reprimanded for US
ing their clubs on many occasions, and by
taking the side of accused persons when an
attempt has been made to bring them to
justice, the mayor has let the impression get
about the city that the hands of the author
tiles are tied and people can do about as they
please.
1t was not so long ago anarchists were
marching dow Broadway behind a red flag.
A policeman tackled the mob single handed
and held it at bay until help arrived, when
the demonstration was broken up. This po-
llceman was highly praised by the citizens
on all sides. Mayor Gaynor, however, was
greatly provoked at the action of the officer
and, if we are not mistaken, rebuked him.
In the present crisis, however, it is notice
able that the mayor has given strict orders
for the policemen to use their clubs when
ever necessary and to shoot to kill If oecasl
ion requires. Perhaps by the time Mayor
Gaynor's term expires he will learn that
there are some people who must be held
continually by a show of force or else
they will gain the upper hand. There is no
doubt that America is more free Of such
a display of arms than any other world
power, but that does not mean that we are
to give up all semblance Of enforcing law
and maintaining order.
Mayor Gaynor is being commended today
for the firm stand he has taken to end the
strike IN New York. Had he allowed his Of
fcers to maintain this firmness all through
his administration probably there would
not now be the disorders there are SO in evil
dence IN many sections of the metropolis.

A BRANCH LIBRARY.

In establishing a branch Of the public Ii
brary IN the western part of the city the IL
brary board has taken steps to increase the
usefulness of the institution. Just as it ia
cut of the question for pupils from all SEQ
tons to come to one school for study, SO it ID
impracticable for all who like to read books
go to one central library.
While it is true that a visit to the library
is not necessary every day in order to get
books, yet there are doubtless hundreds of
people living in outlying sections Of the
city, who would be glad to avail themselves
Of the facilities offered if the building were
more convenient. Other cities covering a
large territory find that branch Libraries are
exceedingly popular and there is no reason
that the same should not be true in Perth
Amboy.
The library board is doing a great work
here. 1t is showing the people what such an
institution can do for them. From a body
which has heretofore been considered a more
OF less insignificant part of the city govern
ment, the trustees of the public library have
brought themselves into prominence by
their progressive IDEAS. The people are be
ing impressed with the fact that the library
is really something worth while

SHERIFF

1t is now Sheriff B~ollsehweiler. To many
IN this city, however, it will always be
mayor" 1t was as mayor that Mr..
Bollschweiler first became acquainted with
the people of the city, and it was as mayor
that he made his reputation upon which he
went into the sheriff's Office by such a large
majority.
There is no doubt as to Sheriff Bollsch-
weiler's popularity with the masses. He is
looked up as their friend. There has hardly
been a celebration in the city that he has not
taken a prominent part. He has been fire.
quently serenaded by admiring constituents
and on all sides the high regard and esteem
In which he has been held has been clearly
manifested. No one can deny that Mr..
Bollschweiler took an active part in every
movement for the betterment and advance
ment of Perth Amboy and exerted all the
influence of the mayors office to further the
cause.
1t Is with a realization of what has been
accomplished during his administration as
mayor that the people of this city unite in
wishing him success as high sheriff Of Mid
dlesex county.

sMITH-Ross POWER PASSING.

Middlesex county Democrats are slowly
but surely shaking off the domination OF
james Smith, Jr. His political machine,
headed by the unspeakable Jim" Nugent,
ard represented in this county by Millard F..
Ross, is doomed. No one realizes this more
than the younger and more progressive Dem
ocrats who are forging to the front, not only
In Middlesex, but throughout the state.
The Smith machine maintained its control
through the medium Of money. 1t took an
enormous fund to carry on a campaign I'M
der the old system. Smith and his million
aire friends had the money. Everything
else was secondary.
But, under the leadership of Woodrow
Wilson, money has been largely eliminated
from politics in this state. The new corrupt
practice act passed. Last year hos naadc the
( dough barrel" a matter of history. A few
legitimate expenses are all that is allowed
Of a candidate and there must be absolute
publicity IN this.
Jim Smith Is barrel is no longer needed.
The party workers were made to realize this
al the recent election. Hence they are not
going to obey orders as used to be the Gus
tom.
This was clearly manifested in Middlesex
1uSt GCA oStlOA WYNN
have defeated the Democratic assembly can
didates If they could. They found the party
workers would not stand by them. The re
suit Of the election showed clearly that a new
and progressive element is in command.
It is declared the two factions again
crossed swords over the appointment of a
deputy surrogate. Senator Silzer, of the
progressive element, it is declared, wanted
the place for his brother. On the other hand
the Ross candidate was declared to be John
It.. Downing. The latter received the APP
pointment. Some point to this as a victory
for Ross. If so, it was a shallow victory at
best.
When Peter f. DAILY was elevated to the
5udgeship, Daniel w, Clayton, who was then
deputy surrogate, was a candidate for ad-
vancement to the Office of surrogate, a place
vacated by Judge DAILY. Senator Silzer re-
fused to recommend Mr.. Clayton, presenting
ID the governor the name Of r. NJ. P. Pearse,
Jr., instead. While it is true Mr.. Clayton
was assured Of the party nomination, he had
10 take his chances of being elected. Under
the circumstances, therefore, it was hardly
TO be supposed that Mr.. Clayton, upon final
~ being elected surrogate, would be any too
anxious to make the senator's brother his
deputy. The appointment may serve the
Ross forces for 8 little while in an effort to
show that Mr.. Ross is still on top, but the
