Governor Frank B. Willis has again
issued form of pleading asking the
lobbyists to please be good, and step
wining and dining the legislators. This
may be all right for the registered leg
islative agents, but the female hookers
who have been imported, are not regi-
istered. 1t becomes the job of the leg
islative agent who is registered to
make certain introductions and the
game is off.
When Willis rallied to his standard
certain questionable support during his
campaign he did not follow the advice
Don't start something you can't fin
ish"
And some one arose to remark the
other day in comparing the incapacity
OF the present administration with its
immediate predecessor: isn't Willis
the man who suggested that four
year-term for governor would be the
proper thing? God help us?"
Visitors to Columbus who see the
work going on on the streets and on
new business blocks are impressed
with the fact that prosperity is back
and that business is again normal.

Bills To Be Born In
Basket At Trenton
Assembly's New Rule

New jerseys laws will have their
birth from now on in a basket placed
next to the clerks desk in the House
of Assembly. This was decided last
week at the Republican House eau
Gus. Heretofore, the custom has been
for the "birth" to begin when a men,
Der rose from his seat, and upon re-
ceiving recognition and permission
from the chair, proceeded to intro
duce his measure.
The speaker, thereupon, would, on
the spur of the moment, assign the
bill to its proper committee. 1t,
however, will allow more time to the
presiding officer to place the bill
where it belongs. For instance, it is
remembered that on a former indus
try of the State was referred to the
committee on pensions. Time will
be saved and accuracy gained by the
new method. During the session, the
clerk will read off from a list the
measures, their numbers and the COM
mittees to whom referred.
Another matter of importance
settled at last weeks caucus was
that the old rule by which any bill
could be called out of committee at
the request of fifteen members as
the "rule of fifteen"

Charlotte Sends
Skates To Mrs. Gait

Among the unique gifts received
by Mrs. Norman Gait, President
Wilson's fiancee, will be pair of gold
skates in recognition of the interest
which the coming First Lady of the
Land has shown in athletic sports
and in the present skating vogue,
from the greatest skater in the world,
Charlotte, Of the Hippodrome.
These skates are from a pattern
originated by Charlotte herself and
recently patented in this country,
when it was found that no more of
her design could be obtained from
abroad. One Of the pioneer skate
manufacturers Of America, Col S.
E. Winslow, Congressman from Mass.
was appealed to with request to
rush out a number of pairs for her
personal use at once, and the first
pair of them made in America were
gold plated and are being sent to
Mrs. Gait with her compliments. The
foot plates of this special pair are
very dainty being but three inches
wide under the ball of the foot and
but one and one-half inches wide at
heel. There is a very considerable
groove at the bottom of the blade,
following the style used by fashion
able expert skaters at st. Moritz
and other exclusive European re-
sorts.

he would leap after it, jumping over
the snow in great bounds, stop, and
then commence searching for it by
burying his head six inches in the
snow and blowing ahead like a mole.

Durham To Replace
Earle As Engineer
For Bergen County

True to their election promise, the
incoming Freeholders at recent con-
ference appointed Henry Wells Dur
ham to succeed Ralph d. Earle, jr.
as county engineer.
Mr.. Durham is forty-one years old,
native of Chicago, and a graduate
of the School of Mines, Columbia
University, New York. After OBJ
tanning his degree as Civil Engineer
from Columbia University in 1895,
he became a craftsman for the New
York Rapid Transit Commission. In
1896 he became field assistant for
the United States Geological survey.
When the New York subway sys-
tenn was projected in 1897, Mr.. Dur
ham was made first assistant to the
engineer in charge of the designs for
the extensive sewer reconstruction
which the building of the subway
made necessary.
In April 1898, Mr.. Durham became
associated with the Nicaragua Canal
Commission, which was appointed to
see if an interocean canal across
Nicaragua was practical. This was
before the Panama route was decided
upon. He was engaged in this work
until June 1900, when he again joined
the New York Rapid Transit COM
mission, but this time as assistant
engineer, and as such remained un.
til July 1904.
From July 1904 to August 1907
he was resident engineer at the City
of Panama for the Isthmian Canal
Commission and had charge of all
the municipal engineering work on
the Pacific slope of the canal zone.
He conducted the survey for the
water works, designed the sewer
system for Panama City, and had
charge of all road building and paw
ing,
After completing his work on the
Isthmus with credit, Mr.. Durham in
1907 had entire charge of the con-
struction work upon the Cape Cod
Canal.
When his work in Massachusetts,
was finished he had the honor Of
being appointed the Chief Division
Engineer in the Department of High
ways of the Borough of Man
haitian, under Borough President G..
F. McAneny. He distinguished him
self further in his new capacity and
retired when the Borough President
retired but just recently. Since then
he has been located in New York
City and many times has acted as
consulant in many important engi-
neering works. When the time comes
for Mr.. Durham to assume active
charge of his duties in Bergen coun-
ty, he will Immediately take up his
residence here.
The Freeholders-elect regard it as
fortunate for Bergen county that a
man of such high standing and ex-
ceptional qualifications should have
been obtained by the new county
government.
