SNOW A FOOT DEEP.

The deepest snow experienced in
this section for many years fell last
Thursday, reaching an average
depth of from twelve to thirteen
inches, and piling up in great drifts
in many places, making travel slow
and irksome and holding up traffic
on the railroads. The mercury had
been lowering about zero since the
severely cold snap on the It'll when
II registered from III 10 20 degrees
below. Following the heavy snow
of Thursday, the mercury dropped
even lower than on the Sth, going
down To ~ and % below on Satur-
day morning in some Of the more
exposed places around Pennington,
as registered by the thermometers.

SPEAKER CLARK AS CANDIDATE.

F Governor Harmon, of Ohio, had sought to win popularity in
New Jersey a compelling sentiment would exist today to make
his candidacy lead all others in this State. The Ohio Governor
has made no canvass, but modestly remains at home attending to
his State duties. Yesterday he headed the delegation of Governors
that appeared before the United States Supreme Court to protest
against the decision of a federal court which, in the opinion of
these Governors, trespassed dangerously upon the sovereign rights
of the States. That was a State and national duty altogether
apart from any campaign movement. As Governor of a State
in the Middle West Harmon's personality since the present Congress
convened in special session last spring has not been brought as
prominently before the country as that of Speaker Clark. The
man who occupies the position of speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives focuses the national attention. There is only one figure
at Washington more prominent, that of the President. And the
House over which Speaker Clark presides has been given duties and
responsibilities more important than any House of Representatives
since the close of the great Civil War. Questions are presented to
this Congress as important as those out of which grew the Civil
War. A Speaker like Joseph E. Cannon, dominating the House
and in absolute personal control of legislation, would treat those
questions from one single standpoint, namely, the special interests
And committees appointed by him and under his thumb would
strange any measure that popular sentiment might force Congress
to pass, if it should be reported. The record of the present House
of Representatives under Speaker Clark is fawless. The conduct
of the Speaker has won universal admiration. He is a peoples
tribune. Resolute, fearless, unapproachabe by covert influence,
inspired by a high sense of duty and showing an unfagging atten-
ton to his duties, he embodies all that the people could look for in
a presiding officer of the national legislature.

Jersey city Man on Coal.


To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Dear Sir:-The people of this com
munity have %unbounded faith in the
willingness and ability of William
Howard Taft, if his services are
needed, to intervene in the coal strike,
nov imminent, and to bring it to a
peaceable termination.
But the vital and pressing question
for the people of this particular COM
munity is the one with respect to the
arbitrary fixing of the prices for coal
by these engaged IN its distribution in
this locality.
The only true and proper method of
reducing, in this particular, the high
cost of living is to restore competition
among the coal dealers and give the
natural law o supply and demand an
opportunity / nave full play.
II the State, county and municipal
authorities would take hold of this
knotty problem, they would undoubt-
eddy effect a satisfactory solution and
1t would be of i~ncalculable benefit to
the great mass of u citizens. Yours
truly, THOMAS H. BROWN.

ABOUT MEN,
(6CIVIoM

Very few people know how much
Danger and trouble a newspaper man
has to undergo in order to secure the
facts of an explosion such as that
which occurred at Wayne yesterday in
order TO give his paper an accurate ac-
count of the affair. When the scribes
arrived at the scene they found the
works carefully guarded by a score or
more of husky-looking farmers, armed
with long clubs, which they swung in a
very careless manner that kept the
newspaper men lodging so as to keep
out of the radius of the timber, and the
farmers, who said by gosh, youse
fellers have got to keep off these
grounds
1t required a lot of ak to convince
the guards that the newspaper men
We're Sunday school teachers and de-
sired the information for the children
next Sunday to be good and always
prepared for the worst. Then, too. in
country places scribes who go there de-
velop marvellous hunger, and have to
appease it with a can of beans, a loaf
of bread, topped off with a a of
peaches or some other kind of canned
fruit. Ginger pop is the favorite bev-
erage to be had, and just drinking that
stuff on the top of canned beans, bread
and canned peaches. 1t is enough to
make anyone feel disturbed for a whole
week afterwards. But the writer's get
their stories and the readers have
the facts of the explosion, so what's
the use of worrying?

WASTE N McoMpETEMcE AZ TRENTON.

Mi ORE than 100000 of the $120O0O included in the bill for
AVN legislative expenses represents so much gratuity. The
money was appropriated to pay salaries of employees not
authorized by the statute and not necessary for the Legislative
work. The Assembly had about thirty extra employees, costing
about $1,000. In the Senate the bill for the extras amounts to
about $4,000. If there was any increase of efficiency by reason
of this costly superabundance of legislative help it was not OBJ
servable. In the matter of the distribution of legislative bills there
was the grossest ineffcieney, and yet the Senate had an extra bill
clerk and the House had a brigade of supervisors of bills and bill
clerks and assistants, besides fifteen file clerks. a new feature of
legislative patronage. There was a file clerk to every four mem
bers of the House. And yet with all this imposing force members
had to complain that bills were not furnished to them, while there
was difficulty for outsiders and the newspapers in procuring copies
of bills. AT former sessions, when the salaried clerical force was
much smaller, there was no such trouble. The truth is that the
legislative majority abused its patronage. created positions as
gratuities and conferred duties on persons who were either neg
lectful or incompetent. And this Legislature provided for no
efficiency commission to see how the State. departments can be
run cheaper and better.

ESSEX FURNISHES THE oBJEcT-LEssoN.

N S far as known Essex county is the only county in the State
IN that will take advantage of the new law empowering coun-
ties to appropriate money for the determination of mos
quitoes this year. Under the new law the appointment by the
court of a county commission must be made prior to April /. This
has already been done in Essex and the money will be forthcoming.
But Essex county has furnished more than one objectlesson for
the rest of the State and it has very cheerfuLy done so at its own
expense. 1t built more than a hundred miles o. improved roads
and paid for them, and it was only then that other counties were
convinced by the splendid results that followed that there was
really some benefit in improved road-building. Our county has
led the State in every kind of public improvement and betterment
and its example has prompted the passage by the Legislature of
beneficial laws. The people of this county ardently favored this
law for the determination of mosquitoes and did not count the
cost. They would not have hestitated at an appropriation for this
year, if necessary, of a quarter Of a million dollars. The penny
wise policy of the average county in the State does not obtain in
Essex. This county will now begin a real war n the mosquito
in which the whole State will eventually have to join. The results
will insure that.
