A bill to permit the building of Il

Insurance Company to be distributed
among its deferred dividend policy
holders shall be subject to aka ion for.
the benefit of the City of Newark.
President Dryden has presented a stale

The New Rule Against Splitting and
Smoking

The Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company began Oh Feb. l to enforce
its new rule against splitting and smok
ing in the cars operated by the COM
pany. The public had received suffi-
cient warning in the placards promi-
nently displayed i'll each Car. and none
could justly complain of the arbitrary
execution of the edict without due and
fair notice.
The primary significance of such a
measure is, perhaps, that of ''minor
mOrals' rather than health. 1t is true
that profuse and careless sxpectoration
is a direct agency for the dissemination
of gems and that the public health is
thereby impeliled. That fact is the
direct inspiration Of the ordinance Of
Councils, approved March 9, 1903
which declares splitting upon the side
walks a nuisance and presclibes a
penalty of one dollar for the offense.
A State law, made operative by the
signature of Governor Stuart, May IL,
1909, uses much the same language,
and in default Of the payment of the
fine imposes a Jail sentence of one to
five days, Doctor Neff, i'll official hul-
letins and personal adjuration, has re-
peatedly directed the attention of the
public to the sanitary necessity of
cleanliness and deceney in this con-
nection.
But there is another aspect to the
question and another reason why it is
desirable to have a relentless and i'm
partial enforcement Of the ruling thai
diminishes the ''pernicious activity" of
the splitter in public places. 1t is a
part of the general civilizing influence
wherewith ''polite" society surrounds
those who have not been brought in
contact hitherto with such a refining
agency. Those who have .been care
less, indifferent, incOnsiderate, are now
suddenly and forcefully reminded that
they must think of the welfare of
others. Those who have made the pub
lie th%oroughlare a dumping ground for
refuse-the same persons who spit I'M
concernedly anywhere, and carry light
Ell cigars into crowded conseyances-
are SummalilV recalled to "A sense of
the property right of all the people to
to clean sidewalks, clean cars and UNI
disiigured corridors i'll hotels and office
buildings.-Ledger.
The above should be a reminder to
~thoughtless smokers that others are
also entitled tlieir comfort and pleasure
i'll public meetings and i'll business
places as much as i'll str ct cars. There
will come a time when a law viii he
passed against such.

ANTITRUST BILLS PASSED SENATE

Reform Bills

The Judiciary committee, Senator
Davis chairman, heard objections to the
antitrust bills OIL Monday. They
prohibit one corporation owning stock
in another and some of the corporation
attorneys wish to Learn how 10 get rid
OF stock. The chief objection to the
bills made at the hearing Was that they
make officers and directors criminally
liable for violations OF the law. The
attorneys asked that the word know

borough which would take the control
away from the religious association and
destroy its unique feature. The re-
marks Of contestants became quite

That crossing, with six deaths
marked against it In the last ten
years, had no gates to guard it, and
only a bell to ring, which the roar
Of the trains and the rattle of the
automobiles might drown and did
drown.
Those people in New Jersey we're
murdered by the laws or lack Of
laws in New Jersey which permitted
that grade crossing to exist.
Other people have been murdered
and other people will be murdered
in New Jersey by the lack of law
to abolish these grade crossings.
The reason why this law has not
already been passed is because of
the opposition of the present State
administration Of New Jersey.
The Pierce Grade Crossing bill,
requiring every railroad in the State
to remove one dangerous grade
crossing every year for each thirty
duced and passed by both houses Of
the New Jersey Legislature early in
the present year.
Governor Wilson of New Jersey
vetoed that grade crossing measure
against the wishes of fifty-nine mem
bers of the Assembly and all of the
Senators.
There yet remain two months in
which Governor Wilson can recall
his veto and exercise his powerful
influence to have this 1ife-saving
Grade Crossing bill revived and en-
acted into law.
The people of New Jersey and of
the country who are looking forward
with confidence and expectation to
the enactment and execution of
many righteous laws for the people
under the coming National Admin
istration will feel an additional as
surance when Governor Wilson has
pressed to fuIflment this necessary
statute Of protection and safety for
the people of his own State.-New
York American.

LA of vital import to the State
and of staggering significance
to the New York Democracy.
First and foremost he declared
himself to be the State leader of the
New York Democratic organization,
and that he would fight any Demo-
crat who disputed his title.
That he had Boss Murphy in mind
when he hurled forth this utterance
was made clear when he said he
would see Mr.. Murphy anywhere and
at any time, but in the open, and
only in the open, and when he added
that he would do what Murphy asked
when what Murphy asked was right,
and that there would be nothing
doing when what Murphy asked
was wrong.
But Suffers challenge went fur
Their than to take in Charles F. Muir
ply. Senator O'Gorman, if he has
any ambition of leadership, can also
take notice.
When Sulzer said in his campaign
that william Sulzer has no boss ex-
cept William Sulzer" he meant it.
His challenge now is not only to
Murphy but to all corners.
Il am the Democratic leader of
the State,' he said, land if any Dem
ocrat in the State challenges that
leadership let him come out in the
open and the people will decide"
The Governor was surrounded by
nifty newspaper correspondents in
the Executive Chamber when he de-
hvered himself of this history-mak-
ing announcement. There was not
the least bit of bravado about it.
His earnestness was too evident to
be doubted for a moment
Sulzer had been discussing his ap-
pointments with the newspaper men.
One Of them brought in Charles F.
Murphy's name, wishing to know
whether the o. K. of the Tammany

Sulzer Declares His Leadership

Boss had been obtained for any of
the nominations already sent to the
Senate or for any which may be in
contemplation. Sulzer, after answer
ing the question in the negative,
leaned forward in his chair and, fix
ing his eyes on his questioner, said
"We'll have this thing out right
here. | am on the level If any one
of you men doubts it he is mistaken,
and he'll find that out. | intend to
settle now this question of who is in
control of the State government, and
| intend to do it in a way that will
make it unnecessary ever to refer to
the subject again.
''Now get this down straight" the
Governor went on, and he proceeded
to make his declaration of independ-
ence. Here is what he said

the State. The people decreed it at
the polls, and I stand on the YER

want to do as Governor unless 1 am

challengeS That leadership let him
come out in the open and the people
will decide"
Governor Sulzer referred to a
story in New York newspaper,
which represented him as having a
clandestine meeting with Murphy in
his hotel in New York just before
he came to Albany 1t was false, he
said, but he had not taken the
trouble heretofore to contradict it,
He pointed to it as an example of
unfairness.

he added
81 am loath to believe charges
against public officials. have a
long experience in public affairs. It
is easy to suspect and very hard to
prove. But one thing I am deter
mined to do, and that is to investi-
gate and let the people have the
facts. Some charges and a lot of
vague rumors of wrong-doing have
any of these charges and vague ru-
mors are true we want to get in
motion both the Legislative and the
machinery of Justice"
Aside from uncovering absolute
wrong-doing, the Governor expects
the special commission will learn
facts that will lead to more economi-
cal administration Of the State De-
partments. A reporter wanted to
know what he would do if any
elected official declined to be investi-
gated.
81 make it practice not to cross
a bridge till I come to it," Sulzer
made reply. when I get to the
bridge I generally get over it,"
Governor Sulzer when asked if the
sessions of the commission are to be
public ones, said:
"I've always been in favor of
everything being open and free to
the people"
Along this same line, the Cover
nor said to the correspondents that
all the documents in the capitol are
open for their inspection.

said, "seals up any papers and you
