To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The anti-Perkins faction of the Pro-
gressive party of New Jersey is under
the leadership of George L. Record
and James 6. Blauvelt, and they have
actively supported the administration
i'm its demand for the repeal of the
canal tolls legislation, ali, as single
takers, they have expressed sympathy
with the Presidents Mexican policy.
So says the News. God save the
neople Of our beloved State from such
leadership. No wonder the Demo
cratic party is being put on the ollnk;

right. But let me ask. standing by

some Old-Time PedagOgues.

From the Topeka (Kan.) Capital
"When l was a boy" said the old
timer, sit was considered necessary
that a boy get licking at least once
a month when he was at home and
not less than once a week when he
was at school. Teachers were hired
more on account of beef and muscle
they carried round than on account
Of what they knew. The teacher who
built up a reputation for being able
to lick any boy up to the age or
twenty-one had cinch on getting a
job teaching in the winter. There
were several young fellows who at
tended school every winter till they
were twenty-one and it was the
common thing TO give the teacher a
whirl just TO see If he was man
enough for the job. If he came out
second best he had to give up the
school, but if he cleaned out the

Cbe Gifts Of God

The light that fills thy house at morn,
Thou canst not for thyself retain;
But all who with thee here are born,
1t bids to share an equal gain.
The wind that blows thy ship along
Her swelling sails cannot confne;
Alike to all the gales belongs,
Nor canst thou claim breat as thine.
The earth, the green outspreading earth,
Why hast thou fenced it off from me?
Hadst thou than a nobler birth,
Who callest thine a gift so free?
The wave, the blue encircling wave,
No chains can bind, no letters hold;
Its thunders tell of Him who gave
What none can ever buy for gold

Our Oldest Newspaper.

From the Hartford Courant
In recent issue of Current Events
appears the statement that the oldest
newspaper, which still continues to
be published" in this country, is the
New Hampshire Gazette, founded in
1855. We cannot let such a statement
pass unnoticed by the oldest news
paper in the United States of continu-
Gus publication in the same place and
under the same name, and that IS the
description of the Courant. This paper
was founded in 1864. 1t has been con-
tinuously published ever since that
date. 1t has always been published
in Hartford, and it has always been
the Courant. The New Hampshire
Gazette suspended publication at one
time and changed its name several
times, and is now only the weekly an
mex to the Daily Chronicle.

Banker Nanderllp's Regret.
rom the Springfield Repub1ican

From the Springfield Republican.
Banker Vanderlips regret that bust
ness men are not in politics more,
and that their influence on legisla-
ton is so slight, while the influence of
demagogues is so great, sounds queer
ly to those who remember when there
was no influence in government so
potent as that of the business world
There was time within the memory
of middle-aged men when any meas
ure could be killed in a legislative
body simply by showing that it would
hurt business" or "unsettle bust
ness" or arouse the hostility of bust
ness men for the party sponsoring it.

MY FAVORITE FLOWER

Dearest friends love the violet, Unassuaning-yet so fairs From the year of happy child
 hood, It has ever been my care. And its leaves with dew that
 sparkle. In their bloom T soon shall see; If you wear it on my birthday. o. how honored shall be. Yes I love the little violet. 'Tis the sweetest flower on earth; 'Tis my favorite and I prize 1t, For its quiet modest worth. I shall neverzforget the lesson. By its language taught to me; If you wear it on my birthday, O, how honored shall be. have borne it in it's beauty, To the lonely and oppreessd; And it seemed to whisper softly Of a. land Of perfect rest How I praise our gentle Saviour For gift so dear to me;
 If you wear it on my birthday, o. how honored shall be.

New York Printer, Here to Wed, Tn
 Trouble Over License


 Newton H, Cobb. aged 29, printer. living in New York city and Celia R. Rabbett, aged 25 stenographer of Brooklyn, N. Y., were unable to make Bridgeport their Gretna Green as they intended The couple came to this city yesterday expecting to be on Thursday and secured a marriage license. He then gave his address as z51 Fairfield avenue. Cobb hesi- .tated when asked his address and ap- peared So uncertain about the matter that Town Clerk Schultz became sus picious
 The town clerk discovered that there is no such number as. 251 Fair field avenue. He then got in touch with MT. Cobb and informed faim hs had committed perjury and was liable to prosecution for securing a mar riage license in that manner. MT. Cobb explained that he was living in Fairfield avenue at present but he was not certain he had given the town clerk the correct nurnber of the house where he lived. He explained that he had been living in Bridge port but a few days.
 Town Clerk Schultz said that un- der the circumstances he could not grant a marriage license until Cobb was a resident of Bridgeport. He said he would keep the $1 fee which Cobb had paid and that under the law he could have a license within five days MT. Cobb said he would come. back for the license Monday. Miss Rabbett returned to New York.

fspecial fo the Farmear...

r
 New Haven, March 21-The political conference in the Taft Hotel last night, may be pregnant with trouble for J. Henry Roraback, and the lobby domination of the Republican party, but it will certainly not be effective in bringing about reconciliation be- tween Republicans and Progressiyes. The Republican representation at the meeting numbered some men, mostly friends of Everett J.. Lake, who are able to make a strong contest in 9 Republican primary. But the absence of any strong leaders of the Progress i've party was very notable De1fnar E. Croft Is the best known Progress i've, but he left that party sometime since. Gutzon Borglunn, the Stam- ford sculptor, is still a Progressive He is without very much influence in his party.
 The Republican end of the confer ence was represented by men of real inhuence and dfstinction. There was Rollin s. Woodruff. who, while gov ernor of Connecticut, attempted -legis- lation which would have checked the a strong and capable man
 His temerity was punished by the railroad, and he was denied the re- nomination which 1t had been long the custom to give to governors.
 Col w. H. Hall of Wellington, was also on hand. He is a man of force and character, who has wealth and re- spectability, and the prestige of many years of service in the General As senlb1y.
 Other Republicans of influence were Senator Ls E. Whiton of New London, former Mayor Frederick B. Earns worth of-New Haven and 6inotte E. ChatfeId of New Haven.
 These men and others are induen- tiaI in the Republican party. not only in their own right, but by virtue Of their aff1liation with Everett J. Lake, of Hartford, who has a strong follow ing throughout Connecticut.
 Lake was a candidate for the Re publican nomination for governor, and was defeated by shabby methods, by the forces led by J. Henry Roraack, who caused the nomination of young Mr. Goodwin a young man who was chiefly remarkable for the wealth of his family and his relationship to the head of the house of Morgan

Breakers Ahead For J. Henry And Railroad Lobby But No Union Of
 Republicans And Progressives
Former Governor Woodruff And Hall Of Wilmington Apparently Prepar= ing To Lead Battle Against Lob= by Forces In Their Party-=Everett J. Lake May Be Candidate For GubernatoriaI Nomination /

Lake is determined to get rid of Roraback. He has the strength to very nearly do 1t, and, perhaps, is strong enough to make a thoroughly successful job of it, for Roraback Is not as strong as he used to be.
 The suspension of the New Haven dividend has caused a large and con |servative class Of people to abandon the political agents of the road, and to desire a new order in the management of the Republican party
 The effect of the New Haven condf- tfonst will be far reaching. The road managed the Republican party for many years, but not, as it now ap- pears in the interest of the New Ha- ven stockholders, who were the back bone of it's political forces
 Quite a number of representatives Of the Progressive party. including Prof. Yanden Henderson. were about the hotel. but merely to- observe de- ve1opments.
 Something of the feeling of Progress i've leaders toward the ''get-to-g getlher'' was indicated in a sharp dispute be- tween Dr. Croft and Frederick T.. Leighton, a. New Haven Progressive during the progress Of which the lie was passed Leighton accused Croft of being unduly prosperous after he left the Progressive party. Croft re- piled with the short and ugly word If the movement results in the nom
 
 ination of Everett J. Lake, as it may. it will have a powerful influence on the next campaign ,and will certainly compel the retirement of 5Roraback and Col. Bob Eaton, who, with Col. Charles Hopkins Clark, editor. of the Hartford Courant, have managed the Republican organization for some years
 Judge Henney, with Lake in the field, would have a very hard time getting himself nominated.
 Bridgeport was represented at the conference by Noble E Vincent, son of s. E. Vincent, who was the Pro gressive candidate for Congress in the Fourth district, two years ago.
 To insure that there should be no misun derstanding regarding the Pro rgressive attitude, Joseph w. Alsop, chairman of the party. and Herbert Knox Smith of Hartford, one of its best known leaders, gave interviews l in which they declared that amalga- nation is impossible.
