SURPRISING MORAL PERIL.

The legislatures of the different
states have all been more or less
busy during the past few months in
the matter of protecting the morals
Of the good people. And in almost
every instance it has been the good
pame and the chastity of the male
population which have been legisll-
lively cared for. Realizing the totai
deprayity of the sex of Mother Eve
the depravity with which nature
has filled her works, her life, her

response to soft-veiled eyes and
smiles from Cupid's-bow lips,
Delying backward into the archives
of the days when the blood ran
rich and warm through his own
veins, an Ohio state senator, at ,hcI
last session of the Legislature in
that state, introduced measure in
that august body which said in terms
as rigorous, as rigid, as uncompro

and Persians that women should not
wear thinly woven stockings nor

II had to live my life again would
have made rule to read some poetry
and listen to some music at least once
every week; for perhaps the parts of
my brain now atrophied would thus
have been kept active through use.

Foreign Agents Fer United States VIII
Be Better Cared For.

" - vas
Washington, April At is more
than probable that legislation will be
enacted at the coming extra session
of congress whereby the United States
will acquire property abroad and
build suitable embassies and legation
houses for the accommodations OF its
ambassadors and ministers. COM
gresham, Flood, of Virginia, chair
man of the house foreign affairs COM
mittee,. called upon Secretary of State
Bryan at the state department today
and discussed with him for some time
plans for drawing up a bill which 1t
is believed the administration will try
to have passed through both houses
as 500 as possible. Congressman
Flood is to see Secretary Bryan again
in a few days, and it is quite probable
that at that meeting they will go to
the white house together to discuss
the matter with President Wilson.
ALI three men are practically on
record as being in favor of having
the government furnish homes for
the ambassadors and ministers.
Secretary Bryan has long felt that
good democratic doctrine demands
that these places be brought within
the reach of men of modest means, or
no means at all, and will do every
thing possible to urge the movement.
President Wilson is firmly In favor
of a modified return to "Jeffersonian
simplicity" as far as our diplomatic
representatives are concerned. His
announcement in regard to William
F. McCombs declining the post of am
bassador to France shows how keenly
he regards the question.

practically a copy of the Federal

ideas of the General Assembly of 1913
as compared with former sessions.
Amendments were sought by the
railroads before the committees, and
arguments made against the bill but
they proved of no avail traversing

SLOCUM EXPLAINS
STATE EXPENSES
Four Extraordinary Items, He
Says, Were Responsible for In
crease Over Last Year.
IFrom STAR Correspondents

TRENTON, N. j., April 17.-At the
request of Governor Fielder, Senator
John w. Slocum, as chairman of the
appropriation committee, has pre-
pared an analysis of the supplemental
and general appropriation bills for
the current year, showing the net in
crease of this years appropriation
over last year to be caused by two
items alone. The statement is in an
swer to accusations of general ex-
travagance evidently made without
an examination of the bill and reads
as follows:
The supplemental bill recently
passed by the Legislature carries
with it s1,11S,67527, an increase of
$161, 37S.22. and the annual bill calls
for s6,736, 625.2S, an increase of $685.
S39. 7S over the year of 1912.
These increases are accounted for
in practically four items. viz: In
crease of appropriation of moneys
for public roads over last year, $225,-
900; the San Francisco Exposition,
100000: the Western relief fund for
flood sufferers, $4,000, and the insur-
ance fund (which is charged as an
EXPENSE against the States revenue.
but is in reality an asset for insur-
ance purposes), $4,000.
This explains why the general ac-
counts of the various State institu-
tons and State departments were
changed very little one way or the
other.
THE matters which made the in
creased appropriations necessary at
this time" says Senator Slocum,
were both worthy and urgent. This
no thoughtful person will deny, and
those disinterested must admit that
both good Judgment and economy
were displayed to produce the present
creditable financial showing.
ut should also be noted that the
State has acquired a normal school
in Newark. If there are any items
in either bill unwarranted or ex-
travagant / wish some one would
point them out"

WRITS ALLOWED FOR
ASSESSMENTS REVIEW
IFrom staG Correspondent

TRENTON, N. j., April 17-Justice
Minturn has allowed four writs of
certiorari to review assessments
made by the Board of Assessors of
the town of West New York on GER
tain properties located in Twelfth
street, between Palisades avenue and
the Palisades railway West New
York.
The applicants for the writs are
George w. Beringer, president of the
West Shore Embroidery Company;
Henry j. Gordon, Angelina Latronico
and Steffen Dieckann. The petitioners
say that the assessments levied are
excessive and that at meeting of
the board on April last to hear
objections the result was referred to
the Common Council the following
evening and the latter body decided
to take no action in the appeals OF
the petitioners.
