PErE HAoKEFrsknoNG CHASE

sunrise this morning chased two bur glars from this city to the town of Milford, where they sboarded a freight train and escaped. The pursuit was accomplished under dtfnculties as the burglars had almost an hours start on their pursuer. Even at that they barely e1uded him, as he arrived only two minutes after the train which they had boarded had pulled out. The officer immediately communicated with the New Haven authorities by telephone, asking them to hold the men. Whether they succeeded or not is not known at this writing.

 Just then a man whom Mr. Stras- burger knows. appeared and handing him the revolver MT. SUasburger bade him stand guard over the men until he informed the police. After Stras- burger left one of the burglars made a bold dash and was soon followed by the other. The guard who was knocked down didn't have the heart to shoot and when Strasburger got back the burglars were seen disap- bearing up the track. '
 Roundsrnan Haclett was then put on the case. Although Milford is over nine miles, the plucky officer never let up in his chase until he reached the town. The two suits ta- ken were worth about $60.

THE DAY OF RECKONING
HAS COME

The legislative history of two years
of Democratic rule was completed
March 4. These two years have been
marked by one of the most active pc
RODS of law making this country has
ever seen. With a House ready and
able to execute his DEGREES down to
the last word and with a working ma
jority in the Senate, President Wilson
took the oath of office March 4, 1913.
With prophetic eagerness he summoned
Congress in extra session a month
later. With the exception Of six
months of respite last fall the party
machinery has been in operation ever
since, grinding out experimental laws
that affect every phase of our social
and commercial life.
What does a study of that record
showf
1t discloses the fact that during
that time the Democratic Congress has
enacted and the Democratic President
has signed more crude, imperfect and
nugatory laws than ever were written
during the same length of time by any
American Congress. 1t furnishes an
indictment of haste and lack of legis-
lative intelligence that is bound to be
humiliating to the party responsible.
That there has been a tremendous
quantity of legislation cannot be de-
- NJ H. e. II. lit
laws ave been placed upon the statute
books by the Democrats since they
came into power. These are d~esignat
ed "public" because they appropriate
money for general purposes or affect
general law. In addition to these, hun
dreds of private bills have been
passed.
Those who have closely observed
the methods of legislation used by the
Democratic majority are not surprised
at the faulty results. The present adj
ministration has been admittedly nota-
bic, even notorious, for its steam roller
short cuts in enacting laws. Every
important bill passed has been put
through with small consideration be
yond that of party expedience. As
soon as the President proposed a law,
then the caucus approved it, the ma
jority rushed it through committees
and back to the President for his sig
nature-all with as little debate as
possible, and under iron clad special
rules that permitted no chance for in
telligent consideration or amendment.
1t is conceivable that a few bills
be put through a legislative
body in this way and emerge in per
feet form. But to use such methods
Unfortunately, as the Democratic
Congress has done, is practically to in
sure the enactment of laws which flu
Congresses must either repeal or
spend many weeks to amend. This is
the task which Democratic haste and
use of a powerful majority has
for future Congresses. I
Specific examples of laundering will !
not be enumerated in this article. 1t
s enough at present to make the gen
sral statement that the Democratic I
has "sown a wind of legislation S
is reaping a whirlwind of mis- !
takes.' Future articles will appear T,
that will show in detail the various
instances of laundering, careless draft /
ing of bills that finally went on the I
books without correction. =
