Financial Reform.

Reform is needed in the States
financial methods. There is no reason
why the contents of the appropriation
bills should not be made known to
the public at least two weeks before
final adjournment, in order that the
bills may receive the same considera-
ton that is given to other important
measures, Men who would cal
closely a personal bill calling foI a
few hundred dollars, do not hesitate
to spend more than eight millions of
the States money without knowing or
caring where it IS to go.

Need FieIder's Vote.

1t seems almost certain hal Gov
ernor Fielder will have to take his
seat in the Senate at the special SEES
sion Of the Legislature. The republi-
cans are determined that the demo
Gratis shall not make the session the
opportunity for creating campaign
material, and it is the inteAtion of the
minority to vigorously oppose demo
cratic caucus measures. Without Gov
rno Fielder the democrats will have
but ten votes, n less than enough to
pass a bill. Senator Low, of Ocean
Chief of the Bureau of Statistics of
Labor and Industry, is prevented from
sitting, and with the Governor not
presiding the democratic membership
will be cut from twelve to ten. The
vote would then stand ten to nine, if
the republican members voted as a
unit. The importance of this has been
emphasized in the past few days. If
the Democrats do get together Oh
some compromise jury reform meas
ure the republicans will probably de-
eide to vote as a unit and support
the Read bill. The Governor will then
have to take his seat as the represent
alive from Hudson and vote for the
passage of the party's measure. OF
course, the same situation would exist
in regard to all bills which may be
made party measures.

an adequate character. There Ia also
a strong sentiment of friendship for
the President and the Wilson policies,
but it has never been able to over
ome the party control welded by the
Newark faction and it's big fol-
Newark meeting will be regarded as
one of the most important of the
series, as it may include mention of
names and other locally interesting
facts by the President during his talk.
He has forced compliance with party
pledges before now, in his contests
with the big Newark element of the
party, by using names and incidents
of the kind which were supposed to
be kept under cover in the old style of
playing politics, and it is said that he
has kept so well posted upon recent
doings in the State that he can, and
is quite likely to, resort to the same
sort of medicine for his enemies when
he runs into the State for a short stay
just before the special session of the
Legislature gets into action. 1t can
not be said that there is any fear of
his coming on the part of the Newark
and Essex county Democrats of the
anti Wilson school, but in this city
they are mighty anxious and would
much rather have him stay in Wash
ington and attend to his national
duties.

Speaker TayIor's Position.

Assemblyman Leon R. Taylor,
Speaker of the House of Assembly,
has entered a vigorous public denial
to the rumors that he was among the
opponents of adequate jury reform
during the regular session of the Leg
islature. The story gained circula-
ton because of the announcement
that President Wilson would make one
of his intended speeches in Asbury
Park, which is the nearest big city
to his home town of Avon-by-the-Sea.
He declares that from the beginning
to the end of the session he advo-
Gated a bill for jury commissions ap-
pointed by the Supreme Court, which
is the kind of a jury bill that is de-
sired by President Wilson and by
Governor Fielder. He has also an
nounced that at the special session he
will take the same stand on that ques-
ton. eff the President comes to AS

He Is Now
a Convert

Ex-Councilman AL Hawley of
South Tacoma is a convert to the
cause Of no smoking on. street
cars. If the women will see him
today they can get him on their
petition.
AL has a good appetite, and
every day when he comes up to
the city barn he brings big pa
per bag full of hard-boiled eggs,
strawberry jam, cake, pie and
other good things for noon lunch.
He was coming UP this morning
on the South Tacoma car. Put
ting his bag of lunch on the floor
by his side he filled his neer-
schaum-or maybe 1t was corn
cob-anyway, he filled his pipe,
deftly struck match, lighted the
the pipe, dropped the match and
began to enjoy life.
Two minutes later Hawley was
doing high kick, Shaping his
pants leg, which was burning
gaily, and when his foot landed
it hit right on top of that big
lunch the bag of which had
burned off.
Hawley can't see any excuse
for smoking on street cars today.

had his first real scare. The
big machine dipped first to one
side and then to the other, al

and get control of the machine, it

declared afterward that he be-

the entire cause of his escape.

and pulled the machine swiftly

WATERLOO TALKING
MANAGER FOR 1914
Newspaper Starts Contest Among
Fans for Decision as to the
Leader Of the Jays.

WATERLOO, Iowa, Sept. ia
contest started here to dis
cover who the fans wait for base
ball manager next year. The contest
will close September 81.
The fans of the city are divided on
the question. Many believe that a
new manager should be selected.
while Manager Andrews has many
supporters. Among the men mention.
ed as successor to Manager Andrews
are Dick Smith, formerly of Spring
field and Ned Egan, who managed
the Ottumwa team for the past three
seasons.
Dick Smith was leader Of the Spring.
field team under Dick Kinsella, but
has been in the east during the past
season. He will probably make ap.
plication for the position.
Manager Andrews will be a candi
date for reappointment, while A. j
Lizette, who was with Waterloo dur
ing its pennant winning days, will
probably make bid for the position
The field, however, is not restrict
ed and the fans can name any base
ball man they favor.
