Washington The administration
currency. bill was introduced in the
Senate by Senator Owen and in the
House by Representative Glass. The
House Immediately referred the meas
ure to the banking and currency COM
mittee.
Several changes have been made in
the bill as the result OF the numerous
conferences in which President Will
son, Democrats Of the House and Sen
ate committees. Treasury department
officials and committees Of bankers
took part following the publication OF
the proposed measure several days
ago, but despite appeals that the fed
eral reserve board to control the pro-
posed new currency system be in
creased, and that bankers be given
representation, no change in this pro-
vision was made. The board will con-
sist OF seven men to be appointed by
the President.
In the Senate. Senator Cummins
contemplated proposing an amend
ment which would make the board an
elective body.
Reinserted in the bill was the orig1-
nal proposition for retiring the pres
ent bank notes. within twenty years
and the substitution Of additional fed
eral reserve notes for them. This
eliminates the proposed limit OF $780,
100000 in reserve notes contained In
the bill as originally made public. In
replacing the bank notes the govern
ment two per cent bonds. upon which
they are now issued, would be re-
funded by three per cent bonds with
out the circulation privilege.
Chairman Glass made preparations
for tho speedy consideration OF the
bill by the House committee. He OBJ
tanned the passage Of two resolutions
to facilitate the work. One provided
for the printing and distribution OF
$4,000 copies of the new bill The
other, which was adopted after a par
usan discussion. provided $4,000 for
the payment Of experts to be employed
BY the committee.

having incensed his father against him,

art, Hilary feels the temptation of sacri-

WHEN THE voters, by such a large ma
jority, decided in favor of a change, the
members of the old Board of Freeholders
expressed themselves perfectly satisfied to
abide by thelwill of the people. AS an evil
dence of this they did not take any steps to
set aside thesresult of the election, nor did
they attempt to organize on the date
fixed by law. Other counties did not take
such action and after they had fought the
matter out in the courts and secured an
opinion that declared the new organization
illegal, the members of the old Board of
Burlington county woke up and suddenly
discovered that their previous declaration
of satisfaction was not correct and they
decided to get back in the harness. This
was 10 spite of the fact that they had
declared they did not care about the
matter, and that they were glad to get
rid of a position which entailed much
work and carried little pay. If they were
sincere in those declarations why has
there been such unusual activity to get
back again into something there is moth
ing in p There seems to be some incon-
sistency in this action, and some explana-
tion for the sudden change of front seems
necessary. Whatever may be said In de-
fence of the subject there remains the
certainty that no movement has ever caus-
ed such feeling as has been engendered In
this county over the action of the old
Boards feeling which Is growing In
intensity every day. Some of those who
stood high In the estimation of the people
for their acquiescence in the expression
of the will of the taxpayers, do not
occupy that same exalted position now
1t is not necessary to give any individual
names. Time will reveal those who have
not measured up to the standard they
formerly enjoyed. The Legislature has
enacted a law that makes 1t mandatory
for nearly every county in this state to
haye small Boards of Freeholders here
after, so that Burlington county will
again elect five members In November
1t has been stated that If the subject were
presented again for acceptance or reiec-
ton by the people there would be a return
to the old system, but the action of We'd
nesdaY, even at this early day, gives evil
dence that the vote to do away with the
small body would get a larger majority
than before. But that will not be re-
quired. The small Board has come to
stay and If any of the Board that went
through the proceedings of Wednesday
in attempting to thwart the wishes of
the people should attempt to become
members of the small Board they will
probably hear in distinct terms what
appear to be mutterings just at present.
1t is pity that mems heads can be turned
on such small subject az a little brief
power in offices which are acknowledged
to be full of work and nothing fnan.

IT Is rather doubtful If much of real
value has been done for the people by the
Democratic Legislature which adjourned
sine die Thursday 1t was elected upon q
platform which pledged its members to
economy, but the appropriation bills are
$378, 217 higher than they were last year.
Although New Jersey is travelling rap
idly toward State tax, the Legislature OF
1918 created new offices and increased
salaries. A pension of $1,000 year is to
be paid to the widows of four Governors
of the state. and there is nothing to indicate
that they are in need of state support.
There is considerable disappointment
among the people, who had hoped for an
economical government and a consequent
reduction of the appropriation bills.
The Democrats deliberately broke their
pledge for jury reform at the command oil
the Sheriffs of the state and the invisible
government" in Newark. Why the Legis-
lature should be called together again in
special session, and Governor Fielder de.
clares he will issue the call, is matter OF
conjecture.
The reason announced is that the special
session is to pass the jury reform bill and
thus keep the party's campaign pledge,
but who believes that in month or two
months the invisible government" and
Sheriffs are going to release their grip7
Anti-Wilson Democrats declare that
when the President comes into the state
to fight through jury reform he will re-
| ceive jolt that will be the surprise of his
| life. The men who defeated this legisla
ton are looking forward with great
pleasure to the coming of President VIII
son. They are not protesting, and theil
attitude would indicate that jury reform
will get even worse treatment at tbs
special session than 1t received at the
regular session.
The Republicans were such small fac
tor In the House and Senate that they can
not be held responsible for the Legislative,

opportunity now to get together and. bas

FROM published reports 1t would appear
as il Assemblymsn Sslus, of Atlantic
county. had made what would appear to
be humiliating confession. In speaking
on the subject of jury reform Assembly
man 6alus Is quoted as saying:
81 am now going to my political doom.
The county where / come from does not
want jury reform. They want the sheriffs
to draw the iuries so that indictments will
not follow Sunday rum selling. You all
know this, and as do not expect to come
back, | shall be honest on this question
II have been drawn on grand juries,
and the sheriff knew that when he drew
me that would never vote to indict 9
saloonkeeper for Sunday selling of rum
The sheriff drew me with that tacit under
standing. He knew it. and knew 1t, and
/ kept my belief on that question. / never
voted for the indictment Of Sunday
seller.
II tell you men that the sheriff drawn
juries Ia nefarious outrage, absolutely
and systematically unfair; they do not give
the people what they want"
The above Is an admission that mos
men would haye hesitated long before
making. 1t has long been an open secre
that Atlantic county did not want thu
yiolators of the liquor laws punished TO
selling on Sunday, but here Ia man wit
comes out and openly acknowledges tina
grand juries have been drawn there will
the distinct understanding that they wer
not to indict the saloon men. and Salu
says that the Sheriff knew and he knew
that he would never vote to indict, ant
he never did. 1t would seem to be abou
time that Salus was going to his "politica
doom"

NoTwITHsTANDING the plea of the House
OF Assembly for more time and that it
had not been able to complete its work
he Senate stood firm on the motion to ad-
journ on Thursday evening and after
stopping the hands of the clock finally
wound up the business of the session at
an early hour Friday morning. While
the windup may haYe been In a blaze of
lights. 1t was not in a blaze of glory, and
although there was az outward show of
good feeling there were deep wounds that
will not be healed in hurry. Not long
before the hour for final adjournment one
member of the Assembly had openly &C.
cused another of being ''consummate
har," and had also acknowledged he had
by tacit understanding with sheriff, .
been placed upon grand juries that would
not indict offenders against the liquor
laws. The accusation was withdrawn to
the outward satisfaction of both parties
concerned. but the Acknowledgment was
allowed to stand. The closing hours of
the Legislature were very different from
those when that body organized. In the
latter instance Governor Wilson held
firm hand on all, but at the end Jim
Nueent, who had been declared down and
out, appeared on the scene very much
factor, and the old gang was once more
In power. Jury reform, SO much desired
by President Wilson, was knocked into
a cooked hat" and Governor Fielder says
he will call special session on the first Of
May to consider 1t, but 1t Is doubtful If he
will be able to change matters, even if
President Wilson does come to New Jersey
and take the stump on the subject. Field
er has sshown his inability to control the
members, and practically admits he must
call for help from higher source. Among
the many things advocated by Governor
Wilson and which failed, may be related:
The Wilson Recommendation of uniform
reports and accounting by municipalities
did not amount to much. Little was done
for the farm demonstration or forestry
work, recommendation of Wilson.
School houses can be open for civic work,
Wilson recommendation. The abandon
ment of the Morris canal, Wilson recon-
mendation, failed. The Wilson endorse
ment of the economy and efficiency COM
mission work failed to bring legislation. !
j obs would have been sacrificed. Another
Wilson failure. and one which it is likely |
ne will try to turn the other way when he /
comes into the state before May on jury
reform, is the constitutional convention.
The politicians got after this scheme, and

on this question. When Wilson was here
he owned the legislature, excepting on
the matter Of jury reform. The house,
under the control of Nugent, denied him
that when he was here, and would NOT
give 1t to Governor Fielder. It remains
to be seen if Wilson can come back. ,

WHAT looked like nice boom for Gu

and the chances of acting Governor Field
er to become candidate of his party for
the executive Office have gone down with
thud during the past three weeks.

serted that United States Senator Hughes
is holding up Federal patronage In the
interest of Mayor Wittpenn's candidacy.
The Senator bias challenged Westcott to
produce his proof and the latter gentle.
man Is said to be contemplating a visit to
Washington TO do just what Hughes asks.
Judge Wescott is not the man tc make
assertions merely for the purpose of talk
ing, nor is he scared by a shadow. 1t has
been reported that he will get into the
Gubernatorial race for the purpose of aid
ing another candidate, but another mis-
take comes in there as the Judge, If he
goes into the contest. will probably be for
Wescott, and it Is not likely that he will
be induced to withdraw as he was when
he was a candidate for United States
Senator against Hughes.

ANY ONE having an idea that the posi-
ton Of Judge is an easy berth, all flowers
and large pay, would have been disabused
of any such opinion If they had been in
court on Thursday when Judge Horner
disposed Of a case which has attracted
much attention In this county. 1t was
that Of citizen who has heretofore borne
respected name, who comes from highly
respected family, but who was charged
with serious offence. As Judge Horner
remarked, the high degree of intelligence
OF the man seemed to make the offence
more serious and the case had given him
much annoyance. He had devoted con-
siderable time in trying to get at the true
state Of affairs and he had patiently
listened to all persons interested for and
against the accused The Judge said he
did not believe the sentence he was about
to impose would suit everybody, but he
would have to act as he thought was best
for the good Of the community. He then
sentenced the man to a term In the county
Jail with fine attached. The mistake, If
any. made by Judge Horner, was In his
statement that the sentence would not
meet with general approval. We think it
will. There was just enough in the case
to cause doubt as to the intent of the man
who for the moment lost his senses, and
there always remains the fact that to send
to the county jail man of intelligence,
OF good family and whose former life has
been above reproach will be as effective
30 far as he is concerned as to send him
TO the state prison. In the case In view
the man will feel his punishment keenly
and 1t is safe to say that he will not soon
again lose his head. Judge Horner, in
this instance. imposed sentence that will
have more good effect than the punish
ment melted out by sending old and
hardened offenders to the state prison.
