sentation on the Supreme Bench; !;

by Judge Welch, an honor of which
he is still Justly proud.
Soon afterwards he located at Delta

ted county judge for three years
term. was reelected in 1898 and again
in 1901, so that he served continu-
ously upon the bench for a period of

tanned by higher courts upon appeal.
Since his retirement from the bench
he has been engaged in a profitable

Judge Welch has held number OF
important positions, which he has
filed with marked ability. He was

Washington. July IS Especial
correspondence) That modern con-
ditions in Congress require the appli-
cation of a cloture rule which would
not have been needed half a century
and more ago, was asserted by SEN
ator James E. Watson of Indiana
when he and other Republicans en-
deavored to secure an end to the
heretofore interminable debate on
the pending tariff bill. Senator Wat
son said, among other things:
at is said that the Senate for all
these years has operated without
cloture; but we must remember that
conditions confront the Senate today
altogether at variance with any that
had hitherto confronted it. If we go
back to the days of Webster, Clay,
Calhoun, Benton, Hayne, those great
men who de bated great problems in
a great way on the floor of the Unit.
ed States Senate, no one Of them ever
dreamed of a filibuster and no one OF
them conducted a filibuster. Then,
coming down to the time of the Civil
War, with all it's bitterness. with all
the hostility and strife which it en-
gendered, with all the animosity it
filibuster on the floor of the Senate Of
the United States in those days.
When those men had expressed them
selves in their own way, they were
quite content that the majority par
ty should rule, and rule by the vote,
and end the debate on the question.
But we have come now upon new
conditions We have come to a
time when men will filibuster for the
express purpose of postponing action
and putting off vote. We all under
stand that. l am opposed to fill
buster fundamentally.
This is a government by the oper-
alton of political parties, and the Re-
publican party came with mandate
backed by seven million American
freeman who charged us with the re
sponsibility Of action. and the major
lily in this body is entitled to act.
We put in the Republican National
Platform demand for protective
party is either a protective party or
it is nothing. We owe it to the coun-
try to redeem that promise and to full
fill that pledge. The great and over
whelming question before all other
questions is as to the ability of the
United States Senate to function and
perform it's righteous duty"
Senator Watson also pointed out
that not only is the business OF the
government retardy by the continued
filibuster, but the Senate itself in
ours public criticism by its failure to
take action one way or another on
an important piece of legislation.
Immediately after the conclusion
of Senator Watson's address in which
he showed the previous declarations
of the Democrats in favor of cloture,
the roll call was taken and the Demo
Gratis voted solidly against the clio
ture. This prevented the two-thirds
vote necessary to put the rule into ef
feet, and the obstruction tactics OF
/ the Democrats will continue.

| Coach Robert S. Wadden of the
Perth Amboy High School yesterday
announced that his representative

season last Friday with the North

Crimson and White record a be
considered as a successful one. A
scoreless tie two wins and two loss
| es were the results obtained in five
games. One of the losses should
have been a win while the first de-
feat was occasioned by the Grim
son and White going out of its
| class.
The mentors announcement puts
at rest all the rumors about a post
| season game. However, there is a
movement afoot among the squads
to arrange g. game for Thanksgiv-
ing morning.
The local institution will en-
deavor TO u a high ranking
from the New Jersey Athletic AS
ISOLATION as a result of their grid
iron showing during the past sea-

Amboy challenged the New
Brunswick High gridiron team TO a
post season game. but the coach OF
the county seal eleven refused stat
ing that his team was moi going well
and that he feared the outcome.
Metuchen High, the team which
held Amboy to a scoreless tie. re-
fused an offer for a game and South

play here.
The matter of a suitable field also
hindered the Pacemakers from ap-

to witness a schoolboy game. It is
to be regretted that a city OF this
size has not a public or high school
