ST. PAUL CARRIES 655,
BUT NO C0NTRABAND
Clergyman Finds Upper Gang
plank Gone.

The American liner st. Paul took
away to Liverpool yesterday 655 passen-
gers, a large cargo of non-contraband
freight for England and some 5000
sacks of mail.
The Right Rev. A. +. Burke, Of OF
tawa, who had come in late from
Canada, arrived at the pier in a taxi
cab He was late in arriving from
Canada and feared he would miss the
steamship. The upper gangplank had
been withdrawn, so the tardy traveller
was hurried down the elevator to the
lower landing, to the steerage gang
plank. A tug, which was in readiness
TO put the clergyman aboard. was dis
missed. its services being used in help
ing the St. Paul to back out into the
stream.
Sir Beckham Sweet Escott, Colonial
Governor Of the Fiji Islands; Colonel
A. II. Halse, T. D., J. p, and Lady Nor
ris were travellers on the St. Paul.

Poet and Editor Plans Honeymoon Trip to Germany
Declaring That War Will Be Ended Before Ibis
Year Coses-Fiancee Expert in Food for Poets.

She does not write poetry. One poet IN
the house is quite enough"
Miss Helms early aspirations were to
become a great newspaper woman. Ac-
COrdingly, she concentrated her efforts
upon the study Of literature and KIN
bred subjects, and was about to enter
the school Of journalism when George
Sylvester Niereck impressed her with
the plan Of becoming his pupil for life.
80 | abandoned the plan of taking
up journalism. and took a course IN
domestic science instead Miss Helm de-
clared. "A poets poetry Is, after all,
created through the stomach, don't you
know, and as Mr.. Niereck is going TO
dedicate his next book of poems to
me. determined they should be better
than anything he had ever produced
before. SO | am learning the poetry
of the Kitchen"
Mr.. Niereck has a surprise in store
to Germany on her honeymoon. In a
matter-of-fact tone, which indicated
profound conviction, he asserted:
I'VE are going to Germany this year
The wa Will be over before this year
goes TO its close. | am so sure of
this that have made all the necessary
plans already"
While Mr.. Viereck owes a great deal
of his popularity in fashionable So
ciety circles TO the fact that he is an
ardent suffragist, Miss Helm is pro-
nounced believer in dOmesticity for
women.
"A woman's place is in the home
and not in politics. she declared. "lf
she loves and believes in her husband,
she ought to trust him to do the right
thing as a public-spirited citizen. in
stead of taking an active part herself
in the debasing intrigues of politics"

The consent Of The Senate is not re-
CURED

the Austin proposal nboli5hing the
emergency message, makes the Cover

Now he must depend on the Senate to
confirm his important appointments.
The log rolling Legislators. who have
jammed through many a pork barrel
bill in the closing hours of the Legis-
lature with the aid OF an emergency

time-honored abuse of the executive
power The Austin proposal also pro-
vides that all bills must be on the
desks Of members in printed form at
least three days before passage.
Budgets Originate with Governor.
Next to the short ballot the Stimson
executive budget proposal is the most
important affecting state government
This amendment. which substitutes the
English method of state finance for the
existing one, provides that all budgets
shall originate with the Governor. At
present the budget has its inception in
the Legislature.
The budget is to be prepared from
estimates of the various state depart
ments, made by their chiefs. These es-
Inmates. after being submitted to the
Governor at a public hearing. are pre-
scented to the Legislature. which may
reduce the various items, but NAV not
increase them. The Governor, however,
may, before the Legislature takes final
action on the budget, amend il as he
sees fit. The Governor, Controller. At
torney General and the heads of other
departments may appear before the
Legislature TO answer questions relat-
ing to the items in the budget.
A measure comparable to this is the
bill substituting serial bonds for the
present long term bonds for all public
works and improvements. The proposed
method is popularity known as the pay
as.you-go" plan. This bill. it is claimed.
will save the state millions of dollars.

storm centre Of Brooklyn politics since
his annexation by Boss McCooey, has
suddenly lost control Of the Brooklyn
branch Of llearst's Independence
League, Of which he was for three years

II was rumored yesterday that
should McCooey discover any flaw in
OIoughlin's ability 20 deliver the
Hearst goods" the boss will tote out
another candidate for Register at the
primaries. and OToughlin. who lost the
Republican and Progressive indorse-
ments, will be cast of.

could insure himself against loss Of
wages by sickness. An exhaustive
study Of this question shows that
there are thirty-odd million wage
earners in the United States who lose
on an average nine days year through
sickness, at an average Of 81 day.
The wage loss from this source is over
$500, 600.
Government Insurance Preferable.
Governmental sickness insurance is
preferable. because 1t is more demo-
cratic and because the overhead charge
would be less, there would be higher
efficiency in administration and II
would be secured at less cost.
European experience has proved the
superiority of government systems to
private insurance. Several European
countries have government insurance
exclusively.
"The workers could pay so per cent
of the cost of the insurance, the en-
ployers 80 per cent and the government
the other 10 per cent. The money could
be taken each week from the workers
pay and collected by the government
from the employers.
"A government system OF tins KIND
would bring down the cost Of insurance
enormously TO the workers, and 1t
would mean a saving to them that they
could apply 20 some other purpose
AR Walsh also laid great stress on
the advantages Of government road
building. Highways. he said, should be
built under government supervision
and at government expense from one
end Of the country TO the other.
This would not only improve trans
portation facilities and the value of
the country through which the roads
would pass" he asserted, but would
give work 20 hundreds of thousands of
persons who to-day arc idle because
there is no work for them. They would
be paid a wage sufficient to give them
a living. This would assist in making
wages generally higher, because labor
ers would be scarcor and work more
plentiful"
For the same reasons, he believes
that the funds realized by the govern
ment from the conf7cation of vast fort
unes should be applied 10 forest con-
servation and also that irrigation prof.
ects should be carried out on much
larger scale than at present.

Judicial Changes in New York City.
The court Of general sessions Of Now
York County is extended TO the hVe
boroughs, and the present county
courts in the city are abolished. ne
measure makes the city court, now I'M
tied 10 Manhattan. clty-wlde. II gives
the Legislature power TO make the Guy
magistrates of New York City cleo
tive. They are now appointed ny the
Mayor. II provides that the court OF
appeals shall sit in two parts. ms Is
to relieve congestion. u creates an
appellate term in the first and second
departments Additional Judges are
provided for three court OF appeals
judges and two Supreme Court JUSTICES
i'm New York City. The right OF appeal
is circumscribed. the court Of claims
constitutionalized and provision made
for the appointment OF supreme court
commissioners.
The Do-. proposal creating n cont'T-
walton commission # nine, patterned
after the State Board OF Regents. and
the Low proposal. providing for nome
rule for cities, are the next important
measures passed by the convention
While the Low proposal Is not the
broad grant Of power TO municipalities
demanded by the ifty-one cities OF the
state, il has met with the approval OF
many civic organizations. Like nearly
all the other measures. it was the result
of compromise. It gives the Legisla-
ture power to veto all charters or
amendments thereto made by the cities
any time before July Of the year in
which they are adopted. The Legis-
lature's failure TO act within the speci-
fed time is equivalent to its indorse-
ment of the measure.
Sufragists Receive Recognition.
The women sufFrsgists received rec
ognition at the hands Of the conven-
tion when it passed n proposal provid-
ing that the votes for women amend
ment adopted by the last Legislature,
which is to be voted on in November,
shall take effect Notwithstanding any
amendments offered by this conven-
ton.
Other important proposals passed by
the convention were as follows:
The tax article, granting to the Leg
islature the right TO provide for the re
view, supervision and equalization Of
taxes, and for the assessment by the
state authorities of all property Of pub
lie service corporations; providing for
extension of the power of the State
Tax Commission to the supervision Of
local assessments; forbdding tax ex-
emptions except by a two-thrds vote
of all members Of the Assembly and
Senate.
The reapportionment bill. which. in
the opinion of experts, by its continu-
ance of the limitation of New York
City representation, will prevent New
York City from controlling the Legis-
lature, regardless of it's size.
The canal bill. allowing the disposal
Of surplus water of the canals and Of
