I'll see that that's attended to right away.
And he started off In hopes Of finding the
owner. whom he knew very well Flhoihg
that he did not have time TO look up the
owner. Mr.. MARITIME rushed out TO the
chauffeur and told him that 1t was all
right and by all means TO see that MY
Brisbane caught his train.
Mr.. Brisbane caught his train all right
and the chauffeur returned before the
owner of the car had come out Of the hall.
When Mr. MARITIME afterward told his
friend of the incident a hearty laugh en-
sued.
As a friend. no one wants better one
than New Jerseys Senator-elect. His
pocketbook speaks in sucn manner that
his name deserves 10 head any charity list.
With MARITIME il IS all men, creeds and
charities that receive his gifts. lie is al
WAYS a welcome guest At any church in
Plainfeld. and few big church fairs are
considered complete without Farmer jim

Like all men who enjoy mingling with
the public. MI. MARITIME has his hobbies,
and his pet ones are politics. farming and
oratory The last named came 10 him as

sixty-one years forty-three have actually
been engaged in what he calls the fight

Mr. MARITIME has an unusual record. De-

The house at Cedar Brook Is one OF the
oldest in New Jersey and has a history

OF. II is a family tradition that the founda-
ton OF one part OF the old structure is

and at time when Perth Amhoy was

The interior Of the house is kept purely
Colonial as possible. and has been visited
and admired by many well known public
men and women.
Those who have heard Mr. MARITIME speak
cannot set away from the fact that lie is
an orator OF no mean ability His speech 5
arc pointed AMI he handles his subjects in
a manner that brings applause from his
most bitter rivals. MI Marines political
speeches will show that he has studied
his subject and is thoroughly acquainted

certain subjects. especially the tariff. will
not meet the sanction Of the more con
sentative Democrats. and he will be
strongly fought by all stand-pattors." but
that Will evidently suit Mr.. MARITIME, as ne
is a fighter cf no mean ability. His
speeches in the Senate will be frequent even
though they may not attract as much at
tention as those Of some Of his brother
Senators. but. nevertheless. New Jersey IS
sending a representative 10 the upper

courage Of Governor Wilson. He is A
Democrat. perhaps of the old school but
he will not fight the opposite party just

CANNON'S TRIUMPH
IN CLOSING DAYS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2i.--with
just ten more days as speaker, Uncle
Joe Cannon grinned down from his
rostrum to-day and swung his gavel
with the assurance that the last days
Of Cannoism" will see his banner
waving In personal triumph until the
final moment of hts sway.
Democrats who voted for the gag
rule to expedite passage through the
house of the big appropriation bills
during the closing days of the session
and brilliantly proclaimed their veto
power. to-day awoke to find that in
their success. Uncle Joe found per-
sonal victory.
The gag provides for suspension Of
the rules for the remainder Of the
session. The Democrats forced the
house leaders to stipuiate that bills
under suspension should not pass
without a two-thirds vote, and as It
requires number OF Democratic
votes to make a two-thirds majority
the minority holds the balance Of
power.
Before a member can move to sus-
pend the rules. however, he must
secure recognition and the rules
grant the speaker the power to
recognize at his discretion. So men,
beers who want to move to suspend
the rules will have to arrange the
matter OF recognition with the speaker.
Etandpatters. In the house smiled in
their sleeves to-day at the situation
and predicted that Uncle Joe Cannon
would pass out Of the speakership In
"a blaze o. glory '-ss.9s
