mittee of the Board of Governors to
succeed Miss Beatrice NJ. BENDER as
superintendent of the institution.
She expects to commence her duties
as such on May J., despite the fact
that Miss Bamber does not expect
to leave for her new charge until
May Is.
Miss Sheppard is extremely pop
ular and well liked in this city and
Bridgeton. AS nurse and assistant
superintendent al the hospital here
she met with success on every hand
and won friends in large numbers.
She always e~ndeayored to please and
because of her success in that am
bition she is admired. AS a chief
in the Bridgeton hospital, her ser
vices were unsurpassed and she was
as successful there as everywhere
else she went.
Miss Sheppard is a sister of Ira
s.. Sheppard, a former local high
school, teacher and Charles A. Shep-
pard, a former local school princi-
pal. She is a graduate nurse and
thoroughly experienced in hospital
work. She has worked at various
times in the city hospital here, for
some time was night nurse and for

about $4,000, more than double
that of last year.
The Governor also approved the
Edge bill requiring all railroad COM
panies to pay their 1912 state taxes
within fifteen days after the amount
due has been certified by the State
Board of Assessors to the State
Comptroller.
Another measure signed was Sen
ate 240, by Mr.. Leayitt, permitting
boards of police commissioners or
other bodies having charge of police
departments to retire any member of
the police force who shall have been
permanently disabled in the per
Torrance of duty, upon~a pension
equal to one-half the salary.
The principal bills still remaining

be vetoed are:
The substitute for the Pierce grade
crossing bill; the Congressional re-
districting bill; the Gaunt bill legal

LEGISLATURE
NOT THROUGH
Will Consider Two or Three
More Propositions.
lrrom the NEWS corresbondentJ

Trenton, April 4:-Although the
legislature took a recess until next
Wednesday merely for the consider
alton of vetoes that the governor
might submit. it is likely that at
least two or three legislative propo-
sitions will also be considered. The
Republican state leaders feel that it
would be bad policy to permit the
legislature finally to adjourn with
out making some provision for the
several Investigations when were
ordered.
The legislature refused to pass a
grand jury reform bill, the Pierce
bill recognizing the taxing system
of the state, the Morris canal aban-
donment bill, and one or two other
and in their place passed
resolutions for the appointment of a
commission to investigate the re-
spective questions and report next
year. The Jury system commission
is authorized to spend $1,000 and
the I'D Il Oh en-
powered to spend q like sum-. Under
the Pierce resolution the commits
sion is empowered to spend $4,000.
None of these appropriations were
included In the appropriation bills,
so that not a cent was provided for
this important work. Senator Edge
admitted today that appropriations
should be provided for these pur-
poses, and 1t is expected that sup
Elemental sums will be set aside
next Wednesday for the commits
sions.
1t is understood that the assembly
will take up for consideration the
Leavitt bill. repeating the measure
passed this session creating a mos
quito determination commission in
every county in the state at an ag-
gregate expense of more than $780,
600 distributed among the counties.
The repeater passed the senate last
week, but was not considered in the
assembly. There is strong objection
to the bill all over the state, which
will probably lead the assembly TO
pass it.
Legislation for a state system OF
highways will, doubtless, also be
taken up. The Republican party is
| pledged to this policy, and some OF
the state leaders are insisting that
something should be done. 1t is
likely that some compromise meas

may, it brought out a sturdy and sa-
gacious leadership, which won the
admiration and respect of foes and
the ornament confidence of friends.
There may be, of course, a wrong
leadership as well as a right, and
when the leadership of the great poll
tical party in a free country is con-
Germ I'd, what will be the evidence
that the leadership will be wise, that
it will rise to the height of great
social and political problems; that
on The one hand it will not be led
away by the distractions of the doc
trinaire, nor on the other hand fail
to recognize and apply the essential
principles of all popular government?
On that point no other or greater as
surance' is possible than that the
leadership shall be a thoroughly edu-
Gated and informed leadership, a re-
, suit possible only if the leader shall
have made the principles of political
science the subject of the closest
:, thought and study and shall have
familiariZed himself with the history
of their application in his own coun-
try. Finally, we live in times when
not the foundation, but the super
structure of our political house seems
to be shaken by the winds of strange
doctrines. The foundation is demo
cratic and is solid, and means gov
eminent by the people for the people,
but there is intense and widespread
dissatisfaction bcause of the claim
and belief that our Wanted govern
, ment by the people for the people
is, in fact, government by class for
a class. The present and burning
question for craftsmanship is what Is
the remedy. Is it less democracy or
more democracy. Just what shape
the prescription shall take, just what
measures shall restore the people to
power is a question over which men
may honestly differ, and may not fin
ally Re answered until after period
of long and painful experiment. I am
about to present to you man whose
