CONGRESSMAN HAM!LL
FAMOUS IN WASHINGTON

Washington, May 6:-Congress-
mar Hamill, OF Jersey City, won a
secure niche in the Washington Hall
Of Fame when he 0 in the House
of Representatives to protest against
the legislative, executive and judi
cial appropriations bill introduced
in the body of which he is a member.
Although the bill was reported out
of committee by members of his own
party, Congressman Hamill was bit
ter in his denunciatlon Of the pro-
visions of the measure, declaring
strongly against the provision with
relation to limiting of appointments
under the civil service to five years.
AS everything In Washington Is
conducted for the benefit of the gov
eminent employee. who constitutes
the purchasing public Of the city,
this stands on the part of Congress-
man Hamill made him something OF
a popular hero over night. Should
a bill go through carrying some of
the provisions most Objectionable to
Washingtonians, it would utterly
demoraliZe business conditions In the
capital. Under a f1ve-year lease OF
official life. no government clerk
would undertake the purchase of a
home. and as there is but a small
proportion of possible purchasers
otherwise employed in the city,
Washington would be transformed
from a city 81 small homes into a
city OF apartment and boarding
houses. AS an exceptionally large
proportion of government clerks,
knowing that their positions are per
manent If not highly paid. have pur-
chased homes, there was a great deal
of alarm among them when the full
text of the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill was made
public. The unexpected support re-
ceived by the government employe
from Congressman Hamill has done
much to inspire In the breasts of the
local people the hope that many OF
the to them Objectionable proyi-
sions Of the bill Will be eliminated.

ORDERIS|SSUE
Commander Appleqet Also
Mentions Flag Day Iune "a.
,From the NEWS Correspondent

CFrom the NEWS Correspondent.)
Trenton, May 6;-The general or
der for the observance of Memorial
Dav in New Jersey has just been Is
sued by Col. Adrain S. Appleget, OF
this city, commander of the Depart
ment of New Jersey, Grand Army OF
he Republic. The order reads as
follows:
THE National Memorial Day is
again approaching and is being OBJ
served with increasing reverence be
cause of the great addition each year
TO the vast majority of the Grand
Army of the Republic that have
passed beyond the gates, and when
they hold ajar, expecting the rest
of us.
Il desire in the most solemn man
uer to emphasize the almost uni
versal sentiment of our people mat
this day is to be devoted to paying
a sad but loving tribute to the hon
ored dead, who so freely gave their
lives for the country they loved. Ana
those who used the day for sports,
festivities and means of gain, are
thereby showing a disrespect and IN
difference to the nations honored
dead, and a token of d~lsloyalty TO
the cause for which they persisted.
ct Is especially enjoined upon all
Posts of the Department to urge the
Sons of Veterans In their vicinity to
Join with them in the ceremonies or
Memorial Day, that they may be-
come familiar with the duties which
all too soon will be ~relinquished by
us to their sole care and guidance.
Commander Appleget also calls
attention In the order to the fact
that June IA Is National Flag Day.
On this he says:
''The attention Of the comrades,
especially the patriotic instructors,
Is called to the fact that June IA 10
our national Flag Day, and 1t 10 con-
fidently expected that these officers
Will improve the occasion further to
stimulate patriotic sentiments, and
procure to be exhibited an increased
love and devotion for u flag, and
the almost miraculous blessings
which the work of the Grand Army
has secured for all-our liberty,
prosperity and security. and that
this be signalized by a liberal display
OF the national emblem by every
one"

65 YEAR OLD LIMIT
APPLIED To CONGRESS
fFrom the NEWS Correspondent.)

NFfoVF sSc NH 10 ooPNhNC"b'V
Washington, May Eff the sixty
fiye-year old limit proposed by Con-
gress for government clerks were to
be- applied to the members of Con-
gress themselves, there would be a
great wedding out of good material
at both ends of the capitol. New
Jersey would be compelled to dis
pense with one of Its congressman
at once, Mr.. Gardner being now
sixty-seven years of age. Senator
MARITIME would be forced to drop
out two years before the end Of his
term, and If reelected, Senator
Briggs, whose term of office expires
on March 4th of next year, could
serve out but half his time. Under
the same ruling Senator Cullom, OF
Illinois, would have quit work some
eighteen years ago. But SO far as
the provision Of the appropriation
bill relating to the retirement OF
| clerks at three score and ten is con
cerned, 1t is very improbable that
the section will be in the measure
when 1t is enacted into law.

JERSEYMEN FAVOR ONE
TERM FOR PRESIDENTS

nection with what many have re-
ferred to as the distressing spectacle
of a President and an eX-President
contesting for the Presidential nom
ination, Senator MARITIME and several
of the New Jersey members of the
lower house, have expressed them
selves strongly in favor of an
amendment to the Constitution pro-
viding that no mar shall hold the
highest office in the gift of the
American people for more than one
term. Senator MARITIME would vel
come a suggestion looking either to
a six or an eight year term, and the
six year idea seems to have the
strongest support, although some
members of both houses have ex-
pressed the opinion that one four
year term would be ample.
