Discussion of the traffic ordinance proposed by the Bridgeport Automo- bile Club, which would involve the ar rest and perhaps jailing of pedes~ trains crossing the streets except at regularly appointed crossings, must be regarded as of theoretical rather than practical importance. We do not believe that public sentiment would support placing any such restrictions upon the movements of people who walk and there is little likelihood of any such ordinance being passed by the common council.-Bridgep Standard.

Mayors Proclamations.

Mayor Samuel E. Morse issued two
proclamations on Monday, one to
establish Saturday, June II, as
official flag day in Lambertville
city. instead of June IA, and the
other to prevent people from pastur-
ing cows and horses in public streets.
Anticipating some fun h e
city's expense, the mayor says that
none of the business thoroughfares
have reached that state of rural
urbanity that would permit the
growing of grass on such highways
but there are streets in the hill
section where pasturing has been
done, despite the protests OF local
citizens. Where there is but little
travel, and few houses, some grass
grows, and this has been taken ad-
vantage of. In the future all such
stock will be taken to the pound.

TACTICS FOR DELAY.

The Legislature is down to work in

disposition 70 expedite business
among all the Republican members
and to carry out the platform pledges

There rs only one thing that pre-:
vents the early passage OF the most
important measures recommended by
the governor, and that IS the tactics
OF delay resorted to by the minority.
members, which can at all times be
used with more or less serious effect.
This is done by asking for hearings
at some time in the future, when in
fact q clearing Is the very thing
they do not wtshsto have.
The governor has made up his
mind, however. that his program is
not to be defeated by such tactics OF
delay. and has stated thai. he will call
an extra session or extend the pres
emit session II such Is necessary TO
enact important legislation.
There is a strong sentiment at tho
capital In favor Of an extended ses-
sion II one Is necessarysto finish the
business.
The governors message was per.
haps the longest one that was ever
presented to the legislature, and COW
cred more recommendations for pro:
gressive laws, but when It Is under
stood that the legislature has been
practically d~eadlocked since 1909 and
much of the time Of former sessions
has been taken up with the election
Of United States senators, 1t is no
wonder that legislation has Jagged
considerably and many promises
made to the people are still unfulill-
ed.
Many of the most progressive bills,
such as the Mothers Pensions Bill
and Free School Books Bill, that are
in advance of party platforms have
been fayorably recommended by com.
mittees considering them. This in
cicates very clearly the trend Of pub
lie s~enti.nent along progressive lines.
1t Is a fact that many measures
first advocated by the Populist party
a few years ago, and which then were
considered visionary, have since be-
come the laws Of many states, and so
II will be with the program of Gov
ernor Hatfield. II will no doubt be
impossible to get all his measures en-
acted by any one legislature, but
never the less west Nirginia is fast
taking her stand among the most pro.
gressive states % the Union, and

ideals. which viii be the means Of

Gently made by Frank JENNIE Cannon,
who was the first United States sena;
Tor from Utah when it was admitted
at a state in 1896. Mr.. Cannon was
born in Salt Lake City fftyrsix years
ago today, January 25, 1859, and was
reared in the Norman faith. but of
late years he has been one Of the
most influential opponents Of the sect
which made Utah famous. Mr.. Can
non began his career as a printer.
In 1884 he was elected delegate to
congress from Utah Territory, and
was influential in the statehood
movement. On a visit to New York
last month he urged the people Of the
city and state to Join IN a movement
for the suppression OF polygamy and
to start an anti.Mormon campaign.
The Norman church, according 10
Nj. Cannon, has already become a
dominant influence in several west:
ern states, and has gained a strong
footing in the western provinces OF
Canada. /. Hundreds Of. missionaries
have been driven from Europe by the
war, he said, and are now laboring
in the eastern states and Canadian
provinces. The former senator
charged the church with having
broken faith with the government In
regard to polygamy, and alleged that
the system Of plurality of wives Is
still flourishing. 1.-THE Mormon
