street and see in the shop windows all the hats that bloom in the spring for the women, and think that we've got to go and buy us a lid that looks like the understudy of la section of stove pipe, or a hard china dinner plat, or a fuzzy drowned cat, we would burst into tears if we weren't ashamed to. We've got pink and blue ribboned souls, and we yearn for giddy raiment, and hats garnished with the Ithingumbobs just as much as women do.
 | And what do we get? Just a lot of tubular garments in which every man looks as much like every other man as he possibly can. Why, the only way a man knows the difference between his iold suit and his new suit is his tailor's bill. Just think of that, when you're disposed to believe that men get the best end of life"
 "Oh, 1 never envy a man in the spring time," said the Stenographer. T wouldn't miss the sacred ecstacy of buying a spring hat that sure would make all the other women rubber, to be the big President of the United States. !"
 You're on," agreed the IBookkeeper, gloomily, !" but what l want to know is why women should have a mon- opoly of the pretty clothes !? I'm going to organize a Men s Rights party, and demand our share in the pink rose buds and chiffons."
 q tell you what" said the Stenographer, we women want the ballot, and you men want the real thing in spring millinery. We'll split witt Iyou fifty-fifty."
 That goes here," said the Bookkeeper; then we men won't have to stand before a display of flower hats and knock 'em for being fool head pieces just because we are so envious that we can't wear 'em. And neither will we be driven to the dread expedi- lent of getting married to get somebody that we can doll up lin the flub-dubbery we would like to wear ourselves, but Idasn't do it.

LOVE AND BONNETs

Dorothy Dix tells, in the Los Angeles Examiner, why there are so many weddings after Easter:
 Tn the spring a young mans fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love-" quoted the Stenographer.
 "Um, yes," replied the Bookkeeper, but there is an- other reason"
 Well, to speak perfectly frankly" confessed the Sten- ographer, Eve always had a hunch that perhaps the men got so worn out by the long, hard winters Gin the East and the grippe, that they sort of Slacked up in their speed and were easier to catch in the spring than they are in the fall, when they've just had their vacations and are full of pep. and ginger, and go."
 Right" smiled the Book keeper, but all of that does not explain fully why a man who is bridle shy and who balks and kicks at the very thought of being led to the altar the balance of the year, gayly canters up and sticks his neck in the halter in the spring"
 Speak, o Prophet" i'm plored the Stenographer.
 Well" said the Bookkeep- CT, "Tm going to tell you, and in so doing I'm going to re- veal one of the deep, dark Se- crets of the masculine heart. The reason men rush into matrimony in the spring is cause of the spring milli- nery;"
 Those little pill-box tur- bans perched on your right eyelaSh are the nifty goods, all right, and make a girl look" began the Stenogra- pher.
 Make a girl look. Your grandmother's cat!" inter- rupted the Bookkeeper, it isn't the way the girls look in the new hats that gets a man. It's his desire for the hat itself that lures a man in- to matrimony. He wants to buy dinky little pink and blue things with what-you-may- call -'ems on them, and, as he cant wear them himself, he has to get a wife to do it for him.
 "Not many men will admit it, but believe me, kiddo, when women walk along the

THE BOTTOM OF IT

The Arizona freak laws, so called, upon close reading, will not be found to be what the copper-bottomed press claims that they are or were, and if harm has been done to Arizona, it has been done by the false statements of the copper-bottomed press about the laws and not by the laws.

OTHER SIDE Of
COMMISSION To
Be HEARD ABOUT

There will be as active campaign
opposed to commission government
as there will be for the change, it
was learned today, after the required
petitions to call the special election
are filed with the city clerk. 1t was
learned that there will be an organ
lied effort made by the Democratic
party of the city TO show the people
why changing to the commission
form of government would not be a
panacea for all municipal ills and
that nothing would be accomplished
by the adoption of commission gov
ernment here.
Whether the Republican party in
the city will make an organized eff
fort in opposition to the change could
not be learned today though, 1t was
said, that at a recent meeting of the
Young Mems Republican Club, no
definite stand was taken in the mat
ter, as members were divided In fa-
voring and opposing the new form
of government, and each was left to
pursue his own course in reference to
supporting or opposing commission
government.
One rumor, which could not be con-
firmed, had it that Republicans and
Democrats opposed to commission
government would work hand in
hand to defeat the proposition.
Democrats Consider Action.
1t was learned today that leaders
of the Democratic party in this city
have been considering what course
to pursue in reference to the com
mission government issue, and
though, it is said there are some who
favor commission government, the
organization as whole decided the
change would not accomplish what
was claimed by its advocates, and
decided to start campaign after the
filing of the petitions, to try to show
the public that it would be unwise to
adopt commission government here.
A prominent Democrat stated this
morning that if commission govern
ment were adopted it would be like
ly that the five commissioners would
come from the first and second
wards, and the third, fourth, fifth
and sixth would be left without rep
resentation in the city government.
Though it is denied that any or
ganized effort will be made to thwart
the campaign for commission gov
ernment before the filing of the pc
tition to call an election to adopt it.
some of the commission government
workers say that already the "antis"
are conducting quiet campaign
against the adoption Of the new
method of operating the city.
Commission government workers
seemed satisfied with the manner In
which signatures were being gained
on their petitions, and believe in a
few days they will have 901, the
number necessary to call special
election.

RAMSAY AND STRICKER IN
ARGUMENT WITH UNIONS
ON CONSTABULARY BILL
Effective Move Made by Senator Ramsay When He Held Up
to Rdicue Resolutions Adopted by the Central Labor
Union Denouncing State Police Focre.
Special by Umfte,f Press Wire.


Trenton, March 9:-Organized la
Dor of New Jersey strongly arrayed
itself against the passage of the bill
proposing the creation of a state
constabulary at the hearing given
the measure yesterday afternoon by
the senate judiciary committee. The
tenor of all the arguments against
the bill, which was introduced by
Senator Ramsay, Democrat, of Mid
dlesex, was to the effect that rather
than producing respect for the law
the appearance of mounted police of
this nature in a strike zone would
incense the strikers and make gener-
ally for riotous conditions. The pro-
ponents of the measure argued that
the establishment of a state constab-
ulary in New Jersey was not pro-
posed merely for the sake of quelling
strike disturbances, but that there
are many other uses to which it
might be devoted, as for instance the
enforcement of fish and game laws,
motor vehicle and other statutory
provisions.
Senator Ramsay, of Middlesex

Amboy, former assistant prosecutor
of Middlesex, in behalf of the Board
of Trade of his city, and who stated
that he also represented the twenty
five deputies now In Jail in that coun-
ty for the shooting at Roosevelt dur
ing the recent strike trouble there;
]. B. Gray, of Jersey City, chief of
police of the New Jersey Central
Railroad company; |. e. Harrison,
of Burlington county, who said he
represented the farmers, and w. B.
Dickson, of Montclair.
Those who spoke against the bill
were Assemblyman Quinn, of Mid
dlesex county, president of the State
Federation of Labor Henry S. Hill
fers, another labor leader, of New
ark; William Fitzgerald, of the Metal
Buffers and Polishers Union, of Tren-
ton; Henry j. Gottlob, of Newark;
DR.. William Levine and Anthony
Spair, of this city. The State Cham
ber of Commerce also filed state
ment with the judiciary committee in
favor of the bill.

Speak In Favor of Bill.

Those in favor of the bill were
introduced by William E. Voltz, of
RooseVlle, N. j. William B. Dickson,
of Montclair, the first advocate of
the bill, said that he had been led to
believe that the militia had failed to
reach that state of efficiency for pur-
poses of maintaining order that the
money expended upon 1t warranted.
He said that it was tabooed by the
labor organizations and added:
If | was a workman ] would be-
long to the union and if | belonged
to a union | would not belong to the
state militia. The state police sys-
tenn provides the men peculiarly fit
ted for this kind of work. Legisla-
lures have in times gone by been
accused of being influenced by cor
porations and even today that charge
is made, the speaker said, but If
there is no justification for the aboli-
ton of the lawmaking bodies be-
cause of any past influences that
may have been welded over them,
neither is there any for opposing a
state constabulary because of what
such bodies Of men may have done
in the past. Mr.. Dickson declared
he spoke as a private citizen.
Joseph Il. Stricken Speaks.
Joseph e. Stricken, after declar-
ng that there was great need for a
constabulary force in the rural coun-
ties, stated that he had been con-
nected with three or four strikes dur
ing the past few years and that none
of them in his county had been in
itiated by men who belonged to the
unions. The Roosevelt strike, he de-
clared, was reported as being begun
by representatives of the l. w. W.
There is only one way to quell such
trouble. in his opinion, as took place
in Paterson, Perth Amboy, New
Brunswick and elsewhere throughout
the state within the past few years
and that is the creation of a uni
formed force like that possessed by
Pennsylvania.
Chief of the Jersey Central Police
Department Gray read number of
reasons why the bill should be enact
ed and Mr.. Harrison said the meas

Will Protect Foreigners.
BY JOHN EDWIN NEVINS

By JOHN EDWIN NENlNS.
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, March 9:-Foreign-
ers In Mexico City will be protected.
Whether the protection will come
from Carranza, Villa or Zapata,
remains to be worked out. The send
ing of two additional battleships to
Vera Cruz, Carranza's capital, was
expected to have a salutary effect on
the constitutionalists chief. Officials
confidently expressed their belief
that Casxanza would not prove as de-
fiant as tiuerta was. They said they
had reason to believe that his advis-
ers had told him the United States
was not sincere In its demand that
all foreigners be protected and that
this accounted for the defiance of
Obregon at Mexico City, which the
state department claims is RESPONSE
BILE for the latest crisis in Mexico.
In discussing the situation with
callers today President Wilson made
it plain he had not considered Amer
lean armed Intervention. Neither
has he been asked -.o sanction an in
ternational expedition to Mexico City
to preserve order. The United States,
the President explained, had no in
tention of doing anything more :,
Mexico than demanding the rights of
all foreigners be safeguarded
Secretary Bryan said today that he
had received word that the admins
tration's latest note to General Car
rama had been delivered He ex-
pected reply either from Carranza
or from American Consul Silliman
soon.
Admiral Fletcher reported to the
navy department this afternoon that
he had designated Admiral Caterdon
to take command at Vera Cruz.

To STILL FIGHT
FOR SEVERANCE
Of INDICTMENTS

Though the argument on the mo-
ton for severance of the indictments
against the twenty-six deputies
charged with numbering two strikers
at Roosevelt in the recent strike at
that place, has not been made before
Supreme Court Justice Bergen, Jo-
seph b. Stricken, counsel for the
deputies" stated this morning that
he had not abandoned his motion
asking that the indictments be sew
cred, though same was intimated
when the argument on his motion
was deferred Saturday
Mr.. Stricken withholds the
grounds on which he intended to ask
the severance of the indictments, as
he does the date on which he will
ask for hearing OF argument on his
motion. There will be plenty of time
for the argument to be heard before
the indicted men are placed on trial,
which, it Is not believed, will be be-
fore April /, about which time the
remodeling of the county court house
Will have been completed.

Two -!Rl!lIL||CGEM J: I MEN
ARE APPOINTED
BY ALDERMEN

John Larsen and Frank Seiboth
were named as police officers at an
adjourned meeting of the Board of
Aldermen last night. They held the
best ratings among the twenty-eight
members of the newly established
eligible list. 1t Is expected that they
will assume their new duties imme-
diately at the beginners rate of pay.
which is $67.50 month. There were
originally forty-eight men entered In
competitive examination for position
on the eligible list. Ten of them
were rejected because Of being un-
dersized. Twenty-eight of those re-
naming received marks Of eighty or
better, Mayor Ferd Garretson report
ed to the Board of Aldermen last
night. This report together with a
from the mayor that
chanceman or substitute system be
established, was referred to the
police committee.
Defer Action on Chancemen.
Indications are that the ordinance
providing for police force will not
be amended to include the substitute
scheme for some time Members of
the police committee will take the
subject under consideration. The ac-
tion taken in naming two men for
permanent duty indicated to many
that there would be no chanceman
system for the next few months at
least. The suggestion, if carried
out, would provide for the naming OF
about fifteen substitutes to do police
duty in positions vacated temporarily
or otherwise by regular officers. By
this means the force would always be
kept up to its full quota.
Mr.. Larsen tops the eligible list
with a percentage of 9420. Mr..
Seiboth is second with 1856. The
former has served as a special officer
at the Auditorium and Palace hall.
He is wrestler and was promi-
nent factor in the former Danish

discharge from the govern
ment service. Both appointments

Trenton, March 9:-New Bruins
wick avenue, Smith street. Washing
ton street and Market street, all
railroad grade crossings in Perth
Amboy, are all held to be dangerous
to public safety within the meaning
OF the Fielder grade crossing act, in
a decision handed down today by the

sioners. The board says that sep
aration OF the grades at these cross
ings should be ordered, if practica-
