The bills provide that a teacher is
eligible for retirement on pension af-

Free Bridge Bill.

Senator Leayitt's bill freeing all the
toll bridges across the Delaware Riv-

after the Mercer Senator had advocat-

ing in conjunction with Pennsylvania
shall acquire all the bridges and throw
them open to free traffic. The bill is
a duplicate of the one introduced in
the Assembly by Assemblyman Hol-
comb, of Hunterdon County. A simil-
ar bill passed two previous sessions
of the Legislature, but was vetoed on
the ground of unconstitutionality.

Election Law Changes.

With every Republican Senator in
his seat and as Senator Silzer, Demo-
crat Of Middlesex County, expressed
it, with the steam roller working
successfully, the Leavitt election bills,
which hit the Geran law and corrupt
practices act, were passed by the Sen
ate. Only four Democratic Senators
were present and they voted against
the bills. The first measure passed
provides that personal registration
shall not be required in municipalities
Of less than 10000 population. The
present limit in the Geran law is 5000.
Senator Fielder was absent and Sena-
tor Johnson of Bergen led the fight
against the measure. He declared
that personal registration meant pure
elections; therefore, it should be re-
quired everywhere. He pointed out
that under the bill there would be no
proper registration in Englewood, his
county. Senator Leavitt made a
strong plea or the bill, and referred to
Hamilton Township, Mercer county,
which is a large one, with a popula-
ton largely scattered, and in such
cases, he argued, personal registration
was d hardship. Senators Edge and
Smalley both spoke for the bill. Sen
ator Pierce said that personal registra-
ton was only to prevent colonization,
and there was no danger of this in the
small towns and rural communities
covered by the bill. The bill passed
by the vote of II to 4.

LAWYERS LET our SECRETS.
Speaker McCran Pleads for Sensible
Procedure and Measures Are Passed.

Some of the secrets of the legal pro-
fession were disclosed to the laymen
in the House when Speaker McCran,
who had taken the floor, and Assem-
blyman Richards of Atlantic, battled
over the measures which the State
Bar Association drew up for the SIM
~plifcation of judicial procedure. Mr..
McCran, championed the measures
and won vigorous applause from the
members and the spectators in the
gallery. Mr.. Richards and MI. Prout
urged that the bills be not passed I'M
till they could be whipped into better
shape as they understood the constitu-
tionality of some of them had been
questioned. Mr.. Richards urged thai
the present statutes be not wiped out
at one swoop and make it difficult for
the lawyers who had gone through
their training, thus causing delays in
cases.
The Penn's Grove record., 1912-03-29
Don't Know Laws.

isn't it a fact that the delays at
present are caused by the lawyers not
knowing the laws and the clients suf-
fer as a result?" asked Mr.. McCran.
Mr.. Richards admitted that the legal
men did parry until they could brush
up on the particular case. 1t was to
overcome this condition and make it
easy to understand the forms to be
followed in suits that the new laws
are wanted, declared the Speaker. He
asserted that the forms at present fol
lowed are in use no where else in the
world, and their intricacies have caus-
ed innumerable demurrers. He cited
the form to be followed in the higher
courts of one loaned some one ten dol
lars and desired to it.. The
form, among other things would have
to read that the money was due 'for
work done, interest, etc, etc." al
though no work had been done. He
gave numerous instances and said the
desire was to have the forms in sim
pie English. He told of court orders
in a suit for a man to appear in Tren-
ton, April l." and he goes to a lawyer
to learn what it means. ooh, no, the
lawyer tells him, you have fifteen days
of grace. We understand that but you
have to come to us to find it out"
The Penn's Grove record., 1912-03-29
Justice P~rostituted.

Mr.. McCran said the bar wanted the
orders so the layman could know what
they meant. Whenever he hears of a
case being n%on-suited because of some
error in procedure, Mr.. McCran stated,
he feels justice has been prostituted.
Mr.. Prout stated that some one else
would have to write a new book of
forms if the present n is abolished,
and he asked that this be not done
now. The measure went through,
however, 46 to 4.
There was no objections to the 9TH
er bills.
One of them amends the law so that
"a husband can't be sued if, for in
stance, she Injuries some one while
she is out driving. The wife in turn
is not held for her husbands acts.
Another of the bills permits the
transferrence of a case from n court
to the other if an error is made by a
lawyer in filing his papers. The others
govern the testing of summons, serv-
ing of process and the serving of sub
poenas. One of the bills was with
drawn because it was feared it might
be unconstitutional.
"The same bunch drew UP the 9TH
ers," remarked Mr.. Richards.

are wrong" retorted Mr.. McCran.

Often Called Conservatism.

NdlICo SOnSCIVaGlbm.
There are other pretty names for Jealousy.
When youth and age are Jealous one OF an
other, as they frequently are. established
age calls its jealousy conservatism. while
unestablished youth calls its jealousy OF the
old. progressiveness. The conflict between
these two jealousies never seems to have been
more inevitable than in our own day. and 1t
is conflict which makes life infinitely COM
PICK.
1t seems to be very difficult for a man to
place himself 50 that jealousy will not be
gnawing at his vitals or the jealousy Of 9TH
ers be hipdering his advance. He may go
back to the land. He may invent something
that Will free him from partnerships that an
noy. He may write something successful.
and so lead a life of good deal of indie
pendence. But the harder task is to find
some place in a great organization where
his work is his own, and in which he will not
envy others nor be disturbed by those who
want his place. 1t Is only the few that can
isolate themselves from trying human asso-
Citations. and perhaps 1t is only the excep-
tional that can 1T himself very comfortab bly,

The wisest men Of today are those Of whom
It is said that they know how to vanQuIsh
and control destiny. II they happen to want
to be reformers they consider in the most
practical way just the human elements that
will always be against them. II they want to
live what is to them a successful or a beauti-
full or a quiet life they take into account just
what must be vanquished In themselves and
what they must shut out in the way OF the
trials others may impose.
It is not necessarily selfish for a man to
shun people who irritate and annoy him
who pull in the opposite direction, who want
to dominate him som6of the weakest, most
foolish, and frivolous people in the world
are those who perpetually try to dominate
others; who make very bad plans for others
without being asked to interfere, andtr to
enforce them. You must stop and listen to
them once, but II you are man grown you
will not be caught a second time. Every man
must be master Of his own fate, though ~
few truly are. Every man must consider not
only what he must build with but what he
must build against The man who builds on
the sands of human frailties, either OF his
own or others, will live to see his structure
swept away in the storms Of the world
