Bosses Don't Own New Jersey Now; How Wilson
Tore Up Blanket Mortgage On Whole State

A progressive is a man
who sees the new ways Of
progress and development;
who rejects trusteeship in
government and all concep-
tons of privileges and be-
lieves in common rights.
There are four important
aims of a true progressive:
First, to cut off the secret
uses of money in politics
by effective legislation against
corrupt practices.
Second, to give the peo-
pie direct access to their gov
eminent at every point by
thorough-going reform of
election laws.
Third, to give to the gov
eminent which shall thus
directly represent the peo-
pie, the control of public
service corporations.
Fourth, to provide insur-
ance for working men
against industrial accidents.

By w. G. Shepherd.

TRENTON, N. J. May 20.-Jim
Smith used to be the democratic
boss of New Jersey. David r..
Baird was the republican boss. Be-
tween them they practically own
ed the state. New Jersey citizens
had to vote for "big interests
men" no matter what the ticket.
Things are different now. The
state has been taken away from
the two bosses. Some people say
that Woodrow Wilson did it.
Woodrow Wilson told me the
people did it.
Last fall Jim Smith asked
President Wilson of Princeton
university if he would run for
governor. Smith wanted one de-
cent man on his ticket.
81 will, if you'll give me free
hand and if you will consider me
the head of the democratic party
in New Jersey" replied Wilson.
"Sure, we WILL" said Smith.
He thought he was dealing with
la fogy college president.
: Wilson was elected. The lower
house of the legislature went
democratic, too. Everybody
knows how Wilson forced the
democrats to elect James e. Mar
tine senator. despite Boss Smiths
desire for the toga, by direct ap-
peal to the people.
Then Wilson framed direct
primaries bill. He got Elmer
Geran, a young first-year legisla-
tor, to introduce it. Wilson has
had to deal almost entirely
through first-year men in the leg
islature.
The bill passed. Both party
gangs fought it at first.
"Pass that bill or I'll take the
whole matter before the people, >
said Wilson.
! Wilson discovered that, way

1.-THE Temptress," a really beau
tiful story. A beautiful, unprinci-
pied adventures ensnares a
wealthy society man. His sweet
heart dies of grief. When his life
long friend attempts to tell him of
the real character of his temptress
a duel follows and the friend is
killed, but not before he has prov
en- the real motives of the adven-
turess. A scene of rage at his own
weakness, and grief and despair
for the lives he has ruined follows.
The temptress throws herself on
his mercy, but he abandons her,
determined to make amends for
past misdeeds.

public men may
be well informed on such burn
ing public questions as the ap-
pointment OF a fourth-class post
master at Jones' Cross Roads,
and the dredging of the creek at
Hog Hollow; but when it comes
to a little thing like amending
the constitution of the United
States-well, listen.
The Times Washington corre-
spondent communicated with
some OF Connecticut's public men
to learn the status of the pro-
posed income tax amendment.
The secretary of state of Con-
necticut, Hon. Matthew H. Rog-
ers, replied under date of May G
that 1--WE do not have the infor-
nation requested" and suggest
ed communication with the bu-
reau of legislative reference.
Hon. Thomas l.. Reilly, new
ly elected congressman, advises
that the amendment was reject
ed by both houses.
Hon. Frank b. Brandegee, SEN
ator from Connecticut, says that
so far as his knowledge extends,
"the general assembly has not as
yet taken any action relative to
the proposed income tax amend
ment to the constitution of the
United States" He has, how
ever, written to the attorney gen.
eral to make sure.

The constitution of the United
States won't have a sixteenth lin
come taxi amendment this year.
And not next year unless the
four legislatures now considering
the amendments ratify it and at
least one state which has refused
to ratify so far reverses itself in
the next session of its legislature.
This gain of one vote will have to
come from Massachusetts,, New
Jersey, Rhode Island, or Louisi-
ana, which are the only non-rati-
flying states whose legislatures
convene next year.
The Income tax" amendment,
submitted to the states for con-
sideration by congress in July,
1909, has now been before the
legislatures of every state.
The state department at Wash
ington must receive notification
from states ratifying the amend
ment.

Herbert Benson was one of the
two "Jack Binns" of the Merida
disaster, off South Carolina. The
other was Walter Leech. When
the Farragut, in the midnight fog,
plunged into the Merida, the wire-
less apparatus of both ships was
Jared out of order. While the
desperate task of transferring the
800 passengers from the sinking
Merida to the Farragut was under
way Benson worked vainly at his
wireless. He was one of the last
to leave his ship. When he
reached the Farragut and discov-
cred that the wireless there was
out of order, he Joined with
Leech, the operator on the Farra-
gut, and, after working for five
hours, they finally got the wireless
machinery in order and took turns
stabbing the sky with their cries
for help. The Farragut was a
small boat and sunk almost to
the gunwales with the load of
passengers. 1t seemed as IL the
boat must be washed under by
the waves at almost every mo-
ment. but the two wireless oper-
ators stuck to their task and
cheered the passengers with the
messages of ships that were rush
ing to the scene.
Benson is only 10. He learned
wireless telegraphy in his own
bedroom in Brooklyn, where he
made his own outfit.
