LoNGW0RTH BILL ENDORSED,
National Tariff Commission Finds /
Satisfactory.

The bill to create a permanent tariff
commission, introduced by Representa-
tive Longworth Of Ohio yesterday has
been Endorsed by John Gambler Cobb,
president of the National Tariff Commits
sion Association.
Except in a few minor details, the bill
prepared by Mr.. Longworth Is satisfac-
tory in every way to the National Tariff
Commission Association" said Mr.. Cobb.
1t is essentially a composite Of a num-
Der of other bills presented to Congress.
and has, in my estimation, and in that
Of the association. the best features Of
each.
The points on which our association Is
not in accord with Mr.. Longworth's bill
are Of minor Importance. For instance.
we insist that the members OF the COM
mission should be appointed for ten
years, one appointment being made every
two years, while the Longworth bill
calls for six-year term. We maintain
that the ten-year term will effectually
prevent the tariff commission from be-
coming a party affair. as in twD presi-
Dental terms only four members would
be changed.
The other slight difference lies In an
oversight on the part of Mr.. LOngwOrth.
Power Is given Congress and the Presi-
dent 10 cali for report from the COM
mission We hold that power should be
vested in each branch of Congress to call
for a report.

BAN ON PARLOR MATCH.
Representative Mann Proposes tt
Abolish It by Drastic Penalty.

The "parlor' match ordinarily used in
the United States is to be prohibited in
the future II bill introduced by I.epre-
sentative Mann of Illinois becomes law
The bill prohibits the transportation OF
white or yellow phosphorus matches un-
der the penalty CT fine of 81 1000 and
Imprisonment for three years.
To prevent any concern from acquiring
monopoly Of other processes, Mr.
Mann's bill provides that any manufac-
turer may secure from the circuit court
a writ compelling the owner Of the patent
rights Of other processes to grant a
license to the manufacturer at q reason
able figure.
Recent Investigations by the govern
ment have shown that the use of phos-
phorus In the making of matches is at
tended with such danger to the health
OF the employees that President Taft urged
in his message legislation looking toward
a betterment Of conditions.

pill which they would not even know to be bitter if only they had the sense to swallow it whole fin a cup of patience and water
 Life is a misery for many people because they make it so. All of their time is spent in whining and complaining. They eXhause their energy railing at fate and destroy their moral perspective by straining bridges they are never called upon to cross.
 Of all the evils that curse the hu- man race whining and complaining are the worst. Fate may deal one some quite hard knocks but whining will not remedy the injuries inflicted. There is only one panacea for such things-that is work, attention to duty and a spirit brave enough to smile and keep on trying.
 No one is really finally knocked out until he is willing to acknowledge it himself That is why we see SD many people against whom fate seems to have held a grudge keeping right on and smiling while they work and fight. It isn't. therefore. always the man who gets the hardest knocks who stays down longest As a rule it is the man who is tipped over by every little adverse puff of wind who stays down and makes the loudest noise about it.
 Every time we do fall down there is chance to get up. Every time things go against us there is chance to try again, to change them. and the man or woman who keeps piuckily at the thing they have undertaken will eventually succeed unless they stop to commiserate with themselves.
 Don't allow anyone with pessimistic views of life destroy your faith in yourself or in the ultimate outcome of the things you have undertaken. Don't allow anyone to interfere with your well laid plans if they are hon est and clean ones. Don't allow your self to complain or fret That uses up the energy you need for other things. It destroys your faith in yourself and when you allow that you are inviting certain trouble
 Every man and woman trying to get on in the world has more than one bad fall. Sometimes these de- feats look like Waterloos. but they're not They are anything but that There is always a chance to come back as long as the courage is kept alive.
 Resolve to build your bridges when you see the need of them. keep the road clear before you and push ahead just as hard as you like. You'll ar rive at your destination sometime Perhaps not as soon as you expected. but you'll reach it nevertheless.

Democratic Recklessness.

The democratic house caucus in out lining its program for the special ses- sion has acted prematurely and with out full information. The caucus may have thought it knew what it was go- ing to do but in the language of the street it will have another think coming.
 It was manifestly impossible, that is the impossibility was manifest to well informed persons,) for the eau GUS to get material for a full legisla- tive program until it had conferred with and been advised and instructed by the Arizona delegation which had not left home when the caucus was agreeing what it would do and would not do.
 We have been led to believe that the house majority had a most un- democratic sense of the responsibil- ities resting upon it. Hitherto when the democrats have come into pow er they have proceeded with that grave decorum which marks the bull in his passage through China shop with the result that the democratic majority has seldom survived beyond d single term.
 But we had been informed that the present democratic majority. having in mind the shipwreck of previous majorities. was intending to move tor ward with deliberation.
 But this action of the caucus in deciding upon program without con sultation with the Arizona delegation looks more like reckless mpetuosity than a true statesmanlike proceeding
 Will the democrats never learn to take advantage of those situations in which fortuitous circumstances throw them now and then2

The Second Attack Upon Lorimer.

This paper has, on more than one occasion, expressed the belief that the seat of William Lorimer in the sen ate,- obtained by the means which Springfield, would better have been left vacant.
 While it is true that the evidence of d guilty knowledge on his part, of bribery in his behalf was not such as would have been sufficient to con- vict him if he had been a defendant in a criminal proceeding, it was suf- ficient as Senator Root pointed out, to leave a stigma upon the senate if Borimer were left a member of that body. Indeed, Senator Root went further and held that the evidence was an ample warrant for the unseat- ing of the senator from Illinois.
 Another phase of the case is now in progress-an investigation at Springfield, which the Los Angeles Express understands is for the pur- pose of securing more definite evil dence on which the matter may be reopened in the present congress. The Express believes that this evidence has been already secured in the state ment of H. H. Kohlsaat of the Chi cago Record-Herald that he was in formed by man who knew. that ten members of the Illinois legislature had been paid s1OO,OOO each to vote for Lorimer.
 But the circumstances attending this new '"evidence" do not strengthen the case against Lorimer. Mir. Kohlsaat declined in an open hearing to dis close the name of his informant and when the Investigating committee went into secret session in the hope Mir. Kohlsast would furnish it some clue by which it might arrive at the knowledge which his unknown inform ant possessed, he still refused to en- tighten the committee.
 This evidence" therefore would not likely reverse the views of those sen ators who supported Iorine- on the theory that there was no pTooc of his guilt, nor would it even slightly strengthen the conviction of those who have already voted 10 unseat him.

WILSON VETO
NOT Be FINAL
Republicans Plan for Leqis-
Iature to Take Long Recess.
fFrom the NEWS Correspondent

Trenton, Dec. 11.-Governor Will
sons veto will not be final at the end
of the session of the coming legis-
lature II the Republicans in the two
houses succeed in making effective
the plans proposed Saturday after
noon by the Senate and Assembly
committees appointed by the respec-
| tive caucuses to consider the legisla-
tive program. The proposition OF
the joint committee is temporary
adjournment at the completion of
| the legislative work to give Govern
! or Wilson time to consider the
scores of bills, which, as usual, will
be dumped upon his desk. Then the
lawmakers propose to return to con-
slider the measures to which the Gov
ernor shall find objection.
The meeting Saturday afternoon
| was secret one held in the room of
the president of the Senate. At it's
conclusion two statements were Of
ficially given out. The first was as
| follows:
1--WE have considered all the
pledges in our platform and have
tentatively arranged for bills to be
prepared covering all of the pledges.
Our work and its result will be re-
ferred to our respective eaucauses."
The other statement related to
the plan for temporary adjournment
and was as follows:
This committee will recommend
to the respective caucauses the con-
sideration of a resolution to be in
troduced on the opening day of the
session fixing a definite time for tenn
porary adjournment, the legislature
to re-convene at a lated date, which
will thus allow the Executive suf-
ficient time to act upon all bills
which will reach his hands after the
date of temporary adjournment.
Upon re-convening no matters will
be considered other than those bills
+ to which objection shall be made. .

TRIAL TOMORROW NIGHT

Otto Hartwig, forty years old
who conducts a saloon at 226 Ho-
bart street, Familiarity known as
"Otto's cafe and cozy restaurant -
was arrested at 1925 o'clock yester-
day morning by Patrolman William
Calvin for violation of a section of
the excise law, in the failure to
leave his bar room clear of OBJ
struetions. The officer claimed he
violated the law by having row of
screens across 1t and having people
back of this after IL O'Clock mid
night.
Hartwig admitted having screens
up, but claimed he was not yiolat-
Ing the law, as they were to screen
of his restaurant department from
the bar room proper. The officer
maintained, that according to the
law, the entire floor at 286 Hobart
street is considered saloon and
Hartwig had no right to put up
screens and harbor men behind
them after closing hours. The case
was adjourned until 7 O'Clock to-
morrow night to give counsel for
the defendant an opportunity to pre-
pare his case.
At the time OF the arrest ten or
twelve men We're in the rear of Hart
wigs plAce. Some of them were
eating and drinking, but there is no
proof that any liquors other than
claret. lemonade, soda and claret
mixed, and coffee were sold after
hours.
Hartwig was arraigned before Re-
corder Henry W. Kehoe at o'clock
yesterday morning. He pleaded not
guilty to the charge, maintaining
he had right to conduct restau-
rant as he saw fit. Stephen #. So
mogyi appeared as his counsel He
moved for dismissal of the case
on the ground that no written COM
plant had been made out. The
motion WAS denied. complaint
made out and the case continued
1t has come to the attention OF
Recorder Kehoe that Hartwig has
often sold intoxicating liquors after
hours, but he seems inclined to be
ienient IN this case because, as he
stated after court had adjourned
yesterday morning, that practically
every saloon in the city violates the
excise laws.

Public Service Give Transfers
--Five Cents From South
Amboy to Maurer.
CALL ON ACTING MAYOR

The Public Service Railway Com
pany Is now giving transfers to en-
able one to ride through this city
to South .Amboy for one fare and the
company has joined with the city in
concerted effort to compel the Jer-
sey Central Traction Company to
run its cars to Woodbridge creek
and charge but one fare through
this city to South Amboy and vice
versa L. d. H. Gilmore, counsel
for the Public Service, was In this
city Saturday afternoon and confer
red with Acting Mayor William D.
voorhees, on the subject. He inform
ed Mr.. Voorhees, that orders had
been issued to men to give transfers
SO that but single five=cent fare
would be charged from any part of
the Public Service company's system
IN this city to any part of South Am
boy covered by the companies con.
cerned.
Mr.. Gilmore told the acting mayor
that his company had discovered
that mistake had been made In
charging two fares for ride out
State street for people coming from
South Amboy and was willing to
abide by the wishes of the city in
making rectifeation. The LAWYER
said his company had traffic agree
ment with the Jersey Central Trac-
tlon Company, whereby it is Obliged
to run cars to the city's northerIy
boundary line at Woodbridge creek.
Mr.. Gilmore urged Mr.. Voorhees,
to bring the Jersey Central concern
to terms and declared his company
would aid. If the Jersey Central
concern refuses In this respect it will
be violating agreements with the
Public Service and the county as
well. BY virtue of a consent given
to cross the bridge over the Raritan
river, the Jersey Central and other
companies running cars over it must
run them from one end of this city
to another and through South Am
boy and charge but one fare to the
person.
When complaints came to the act
ing mayor that neither company was
living up TO the agreement, he imme-
1iately communicated with them.
