Manual of Legislature.

Manual of Legislature.
The 1918 edition of Fitzgerald's
Manual of the Legislature has been
published, and contains 685 pages.
1t is the best and cleanest publication
of its kind in the country, the freest
from unworthy features, the cheapest
and entirely without the graft which is
found in some similar documents else
where. 1t is an absolute necessity as
a reference book for Jersey men, and
its accuracy is as admirable as its
preparation and production. 1t should
be in every schoolhouse of the State,
and the only regret felt regarding it
for a number of years is that it is not
available to all citizens, both for refer.
ence and study.

Washington was the richest nan
lie office, and a large majority of the
of~ice-holders who have followed him
seem to have had a desire to claim
the same distinction.
The Father of his Country pos
sessed small ability as a public speak
er. When it was necessary for him
to deliver an address he read it from
manuscript and became so nervous
that he could hardly keep the pages
from eluding his grasp. He
had the advantage of early practice
at a high school commencement.
Attempts have been made by
genealogists to trace Washington's
descent from royalty. but Washing
ton never would consent to confer
distinction Upon royalty by admitting
that he was descended from 1t.
An examination of documents in
Washington's handwriting show that
he was not a good speller, but it must
be remembered that he lived before
Noah Webster invented spelling.
Some men think that inability to
sign their names so that they may
be deciphered is an indication Of
greatness. Washington does not ap-
pear to have regarded that as an in
fallible sign.
When Washington was a candidate
for the presidency there were many
people who feared that he would up
set business and wreck the govern
ment owing to his inexperience as a
chief magistrate. He insisted, how
ever, that it would be possible to have
a president who had not had to be-
gin somewhere.
We have ne proof that Washington
ever rolled a cigarette or tasted
grapefruit. or bought on margins or
had himself PACED in a hotel or tried
to write a play or attempted to be-
come a fiddler or posed as a village
cut-up or threatened to stop his pa-
per because he did not like the ed
itor's policy.

however, to grant the reduction,
that they could not afford
to do so. Since that time there has
been more or less public discussion Of
the matter but the board deemed Il
a advisable to wait until after the regu-
lar spring election. fearing that they
would not be able to complete the
proposed investigation before the elec-

better for the new board to take the
question up. At the regular meeting

while working there as state in

In November. 1911. Baker was kick

to the sternum. He was operated on
twice for that injury, and later the in
durable disease showed up.
Physicians diagnosed Bakers case
as blastomocosis and say 1t has be-
come systematic, from which there is
no known cure. Bakers condition
is deplorable. Already he has UNDER
gone three operations for relief from
the disease and is preparing to under
go a fourth one.
Since April II last year. Baker has
taken $4,000 grains Of potassium TO-
