Nagging Wives and Neglectful
Husbands.

A nagging wife is an abomina-
ton.
A neglectful husband is the
cause of many a broken home.
A husband should study the
frailties of his wife and govern
himself accordingly; women re,
quire petting.
Man is naturally more or less
of a brute; woman must tame the
re.
The domestic relation court
must teach the nan to love his
mother-in-law.
If a woman's club in~terferes
with her family affairs she ought
to cut out the club; the family
relation is the highest.
A suffragette has no place II
the domestic scheme.
IF your wife can't cook and
you can't afford to hire a cook, dc
the best you can.
Dyspepsia is a bad thing, but
it is terribly overworked.
A little chunk of domestic
peace will clear the atmosphere
and render the home sweet and
clean. It is a great disinfectant

the Senate last session, calling for In

by the state and navy departments IN

plies were sent to the Senate TO-DAY py
Secretary Knox and Secretary Y
Both of these bin officials
their course in permitting the use In the
foreign ships of confidential plans OF
the dreadnought type of vessels now
being bulk for this government n
secret devices embraced In armament.
The responsibility of justifying the
action of this government chiefly fell
to the secretary of the navy, but sec
Rotary of State Knox, in his answer
said that the action of administration
officials was in accord with the policy
of the act of 1909, under which the de-
partment of state was r~eorganlzed, ana
the p of which was the
of American trade relations. Referring
to the voluminous correspondence be-
tween the two governments, Mr.. Knox
said it had not been deemed compatible
with the public interests to furnish II.
Included in the reports was q list
giving plans of runs. gun mounts III
other appliances pertaining to the ar

communicated to the Argentine repub-
lie. Plans of the fire control system

SUBWAY
IS STEP NEARER
OF REALIZATION



Essex himself spent in the Common
Council of that city. Yet We have I'd
g~uarante that common councils of the
future will be so careful of the city's
interests as those of the recent past. 1
van to call attention to the fact, how
ever. that neither the Common Council
nor the Board of Works of the city Of
Newark has asked for the passage NJ
this bill. We ought to hesitate before
we authorize the expenditure Of mill
lions of dollars for what is practically \
private enterprise"
Mr.. Agnew, Of Hudson, said he was
opposed to the bill for the reason that
st was openly rumored that the sub
way was to be built for the benefit of
the Public Service"
Public Service Only Trolley Co.
1T is for the benefit of tn. Public
Service" replied Mr.. MCGOWAN, ito the
extent that nc other company but the
Public Service Is willing to rent it from
the city. There happens to be no other
trolley company. 1t would be ridicul-
ous to say, under the conditions, that
1t is not to be used by the Public Ser
vice. But I repeat thai the trolley cor
poratlon Will have to pay interest
charges, maintenance charges and the
sinking fund charge. leaving no burden
at all on the taxpayers"
Mr.. Leveen, of Essex, called the at
tention of the House to the fact that
In the Board of Works OF Newark the
Republicans were in the majority and
in the Common Council the Democrats
held the upper hand. He believed that
when a measure had to have the ap-
prevail of these two bodies and also
that Of the Mayor the Legislature
ought not to interfere with the home
rule principle involved. Several other
members spoke in favor Of the bin
on the ground that the enabling legis-
lation sought was such that a city
like Newark ought to have, anyway.
They did not believe that the Legis-
lature should interfere in a project that
was so completely in the control OF
the taxpayers of Newark itself.
The Leveen bill providing that a sub
surface angle OF Military Park may he
used for a railroad terminal was to
have come up also, but on the request
Of Mr.. Leveen 1t was laid over for flu
ture consideration.

CHICAGO, April ST. D to
give to Chicago a democratic admins
tr~ation," said Mayor-elect Carter N.
Harrison. Il shall be personally re-
~sponsible for the conduct OF depart
ments, and l shall name men for the
heads of departments who are person
ally known to me and whom I consider
my personal friends.
mo promises have been made of any
kind. l have chosen no one for any
thing, and no one will know who is on
the list until It is submitted to the
City Council. Any statements to the
contrary, emanating from any source.
will be incorrect"
The Democrats will have q majority
of twelve instead of six, as during the
past year. 1t is said that the non
partisan organization of committees,
which has been the custom for fifteen
years, will still prevail.
Mayor-elect Harrison Is an advocate
of the non-partisan organization of the
Council. In fact, 1t was during his first
term as mayor OF Chicago that the
scheme was first put into execution.
Has Many Appointments.
Mayor Harrison will have the ap-
pointment of about fifty heads Of de-
partments. which are exempt from
civil service. The salaries of these po-
sitions range from &c. 900 to $1,000 a
year. The mayor of Chicago receives
$3.50 a year, the largest SALARY paid
by any city In the United States to a
mavor. y
ooh. it's more exciting than a horse
race or anything that 1 can imagine"
This was the reply Mrs. Carter H.
Harrison made last night when asked
the emotions of the wife of a mayor
atty candidate when the first returns,
of the election were being received.
why, about 5 o'clock, when I ex-
pected to hear the first reports, ! be-
came so nervous I hardly knew what
to do. l walked up and down the
floor, and when the telephone bell rang,
l jumped as though I had heard q
bomb. I was tremendously excited
when I lifted the receiver, and I'm
sure my voice trembled when I said
Hello The call was from headquar-
tiers and the person wanted to read to
me the vote in the first precinct to
finish its count. 1t was in favor Of
Mr.. Harrison and 1 felt as elated as a
pleased child.
Then the reports came in fast.
When we had heard from twenty pre-
cincts and new hat Mr.. Harrison's
election was a~ssured-my, but / was
glad. The campaign has been a hard
one and, although I never doubted for
a minute that Mr.. Harrison would win,
yet / was anxious. Voters are queer
people, and you can't always Judge
them correctly in advance.
This is the fifth time that Mr.. Har-
rison and I have waited at the tele-
phone for the decision of the voters,
n we never have been disappointed.
1t Is just as exciting now as 1t was the
first time he ran for office"
Harrison defeated Professor Charles
E.. Marian, of the University of Chi
cage, Republican. by 1902 votes. Har-
rison's total vote was Mt, 1858.

period of nearly a year, o the part Of both governments to effect a trade
arrangement which, supplemendng as it did the amicable settlement of
various questions of a diplomatic and political character that had been
reached, would mutually promote commerce and would strengthen the friendly
