It is admitted on ull sides that Wilton has routed the demo cratelc stute machine and that ho will head tho Now Jersey delegation to the democratic national convention. Wilson Is greatly plcabed with the work done by the legislature. "The progressive legislation enacted," he suld today, "constitutes ono of the most remarkable records, I venture to think, that ever distinguished a blngle session of any legislature In tho coun try. Tho principal achievement of Wilson nnd his friends In the legislature was the election of James Murtlno to the United State senate, in splto of the desperate, efforts made to defeat him by tho whole power of the old machine. The legislature also passed bills adopting the Oregon primary plan, Including elec tion of delegates to national conven tions; a corrupt practices act, stipulat ing what campaign expenditures are legal, and an employers liability law, eliminating the "fellow servant" negll gence clause. After his bill for a commission form of government for cities was defeated In tho house. Gov. Wilson otlfled Its leaders ho would hold up al appoint ments untlt the measure was passed.

E 1.000,000 army At Same Time Great Britain is Throwing Fits of Enthusiasm Ov er Peace Proposals Campaign is Waged for a Greater Army. LONDON, April 22. vt tho very same time that Englishmen are throwing fits of enthusiasm over the Idea of an Anglo-American arbitra tion treaty, with universal peace as its ultimate, object, a vigorous campaign Is being waged throughout Great Brit ain In favor of an English standing army of 1,000,000. An organization known ns tho Na tional Hervlca leuguu ifas tho movement tn hund. Hitherto this leuguu bus been carrying on its work so qluotly thut peo ple who really dlhllko fighting failed to realize how strong a sentiment It was creutlng. They nru beginning to realize, however, and it is strong enopgh enough, uccordlng even to the peace party's own showing, to make any country which contemplates a "peace agreement" with England do a little preliminary Investigating. Otherwise It Is liable to find Itself mixed up In u "peaco ugreement" of which tho real purpose Is to linposo peaco by thrashing everybody else Into peacefulness. The English, be it understood, have al ways detested the idea of universal mil itary service that i. of conscription Germany and Franco and Italy and Bus sla, where conscription prevails, are near enough ut hand to let the English see what kind of results It gives They could not fan 11 to observe him Invarlu bly, In these countries. It Is used as an Instrument of oppression, what a fright ful financial burden It Is, whut Incon venience und suffering It means to the Individual and how little real good It does ufter all. For, when everything Is said and done, tho antl-mlltarl&ts ar gue, England, with the smullest stand ing army In Europe, Is. also the most powerful country In Europe. Bo when a gronp of reactionaries, alarmed by the growth of republicanism In Great Britain and anxious to devise a scheme for sotting things backward a few generations, began to urge the de sirability of turning England Into an united camp, the antl-mlllturlsth paid very lltllo uttentlon to them. Tho poo pi arc too dead set against conscrip tion to be affeoted by the militarists' talk, thought tho antl-mllltarlsts, so what's the use of worrying about It? But tho militarists went to work very cleverly, First they stimulated Inter est In (lie militia. Then they began to push their propaganda In Us ranks. Next they started the boy scouts move ment and used It to the same end They shouted about the dangers of a foreign Invasion of England through tho col- UNION IS MAN G N urn Awful -Destruction Worked by Bombs of Tho aocompnnylngf cut shows the aw- Mi SNsMssMBssVBs'BmiilssaW ful havoo wrought by the bombs of tho g 'sfMJPfflljPlrffffl ' I dynamltlnsr gang Just run to earth bv , 4 if I illilkn I Seafti & 'BmZ&meJL.-mJSmm 3uMMIM''Cr TMmKttr i I m ti Mtlfe.
