PRESIDENT WILSON IGNORES CUSTOM OF A
CENTURY AND DELIVERS MESSAGE IN PERSON
MUST ABOLISH
ALL PRIVILEGE
SA US PRESIDENT
Special By United Press Wire.

Special By United Press Wire.
Washington, April S.-Hlstory
was made on Capitol Hill today.
The President of the United
States, discarding the ancient ira
dition which has enveloped his office
for more than a century, made what
was characterized by his hearers, as
the most remarkable speech ever
heard in this country by legislative
body. And in doing SO he insisted
that the time is here when the chief
executive must be considered from
the personal side and not as an in
stitution.
1t was new procedure. Staid
senators and representatives strong
for the tradition of the dim and
misty past were Jared from an eff
fective nonchalence and tiredness to
a realization of immediate duty to
the nation. His ringing tones rever-
brated through the chamber of the
house, as in his opening words, he
justified, as few men ever have, a
departure from precedence. He said
Il am very glad indeed to have
this opportunity to address the two
houses directly and to verify for my
self the impression that the Presi-
dent of the United States is a person,
not a mere detachment of the gov
ernment, hailing congress from some
isolated stand of Jealous power,
sending messages, not speaking ma.
urany and with his own voice: that
he is human being trying 10 coop
crate with other human beings in a
common service. After this pleasant
experience l shall feel quite normal
in all our dealings with one an
other"
10 the Senate and House OF Repre-
sentatiyeH:
| have called the congress together
in extraordinary session because Ii
duty was laid upon the party now in
power at the recent elections which Ii
ought to perform promptly In order
that the burden carried by the people
under existing law may be iiEhtened
AS soon rs possible and in order. also,
that the business interests of tle coun-
try may not be kept too iol in sIs-
pense as to what the sssal changes
are 10 be to which they will be reqUlr
I'd to adjust themselves It Is clear
to the whole country that tue tariff
duties must hp altered. They must be

When asked If he thought the
county financially able to bear the
expense which the erection of a
branch court house would require, he
said that he was not familiar with
the county finances, but considering g
the offer of the councilmen to allow
the use of council chamber of city
hall, he did not think there would be
a great expense attached" to the prop
osition. He thought there would be
practically no extra expense under
such conditions. But as to the coun.
ty at this time putting up a court
house he stated he did not know
whether 1t was able or not, as It now
has the burden OF the expense nee.
essary to the erection of the new
tuberculosis sanitarium and other
drain on its treasury.
DR.. Ramsay spoke of the great
saving of time and trouble to the
public in general In this part of the
county, and of how jury duty and
serving as witnesses in this place
would not be SO revolving to them
as 1T ts now when they have to go
to New Brunswick in connection with
every county court litigation. The
branch county court would be a great
convenience to the public, and
would like to see it located In Perth
Amboy," he said.
DR.. Ramsay thought the PROPOSE
tion showed the right idea in that
the need for such is becoming more
and more imperative with the growth
of this place and surrounding munic-
palities. 1t is good idea and would
be good move" he said. AS this
part of the county increases in pop
ulation naturally the litigation IN
creases and 1t is only justice that
since this part of the county has
reach the present state of devel-
opment he thinks that we should be
entitled to more county court con-
veniences,

We have seen tariff legislation wan

looks the facts suuarely in the face or
knows anything that Hes beneath the

the principles upon which recent tariff
legislation has been based. We long
ago passed beyond the modest notion
of protecting" the Industries OF the
country and moved boldly forward to
the idea that they were entitled TO the
direct patronage OF the government.
fOr long time-n time so long that
the men now active in public policy
