The city council has been holding special meetings
this week for the consideration of the charter amendments
and as soon as they are finally approved, the council will
order an election for their submission to a vote of the
people. Care has been taken in the preparation of the
amendment in order to make the charter comprehensive
and yet as brief as is consistent with a lucid and concise
statement of the matters embodied therein.
We would respectfully call attention of the county
court to an act passed by the legislature in 1909, which
requires that the doors of all public buildings shall be so
arranged as to open outwards. The front doors of the
court house are not so arranged.
If matters work out as outlined by the council, we
can reasonably expect a resumption of work on the water
system within sixty days.

To traverse the great plains of
Andalusia is not only to travel
through an exceedi ngly interesting
and characteristic p art of Spain, but
to receive an impression, at least
from a distance, of the American
prairies as they formerly were.
For miles and miles on either side
of the Guadalquivir (which, for all
its romantic name, is a very muddy
stream) the country stretches away
into a faint blue haze of distant
hills, with the foreground and mid­
dle distance full of herds of horses,
mules and cattle, feeding slowly or
lying at case in the long grass and
low, gorselike scrub.
The wide and lengthy tracts of
grass country, the immense herds
and the mounted cowboys combine,
says the Wide World, to present an
aspect which seems to belong much
more to America than to Europe.
On closer inspection, of course, this
illusion is dispelled.
For example, the horses, instead
of having ordinary foals- at foot,
have mule foals, and interspersed
among the horses and cattle are
herds of mules, with occasionally a
few donkeys. Moreover, near the
alquerias or farms will be seen
droves of pigs of a dull red color,
flocks of goats and in some places
merino sheep.
Spain, especially on these plains,
is a country of magnificent sunsets.
Words fail absolutely to describe
the glories of the evening sky.
Silent and statuesque against the
distant glow one sees silhouetted
perhaps a mounted herdsman—a
brooding figure motionless and grim
—or on tiie river’s bank a black
bull standing dark against the rose­
ate sky.
Again in the moonlight one may
descry tho faint and dusky forms of
feeding cattle, the moonlight now
and again catching on a gleaming
horn. The silence, broken by the
faint lowing of distant kine or the
weird cry of some night bird, gives
an enhanced beauty to a wonderful
scene not easily forgotten.
Brougham and Mulled Port.
Lord Brougham who as a member
of the bouse of commons was a most
abstemious man, upon hts promotion
to the peerage acquired less commend­
able habits. During his long and Im­
passioned appeal to the lords to re­
frain from rejecting the reform bill
of 1832 "five tumblers of mulled port,
with a dasli of brandy, were brought
to him at intervals.” When be came
to bls last sentence ("I warn you. I
Implore you—yen. on my bended knee
I supplicate you—reject not this bill”)
be knelt on the woolsack, whence be
slipped to the floor. It is recorded in
the ’’Lives of the Lord Chancellors”
that “he remained some time as if in
prayer, but hts friends, alarmed lest
be should be suffering from the effects
of mulled port, picked him up and
placed him safely on the woolsack.”
Protecting the Drunks.
In Copenhagen, the Danish cap­
ital, provision is made for the safe
conveyance home of inebriated rev­
elers. When a policeman finds an
intoxicated man wandering at large
he places him in a cab and takes
fun to the nearest police station,
where he is examined by a doctor
nnd then sent home. The following
morning the bill for the doctor and
the cab is sent to the publican who
served the man with his last drink

New Jersey Executive’s Determination

No Quarter When His Conviction of

Hon. Woodrow Wilson, governor of
New Jersey, has come very sharply
into the political limelight in tlie last
few months by reason of his fearless
and effective advocacy of the rights
of the people to govern themselves
without Interference from the great
corporations and vested Interests.
Governor Wilson Is a native of Vir­
ginia, having been born nt Staunton
Dec. 28, 1856. He is the son of a
Presbyterian minister of Scotch Irish
descent. As a boy he lived in the
soutli aud at the age of nineteen en­

he was graduated in 1879. He took a
course in law at the University of

GOVERNOR
WOODBOW WILSON
JERSEY.
OF
NEW
years and then took a postgraduate
course in political economy, history
and jurisprudence at Johns Hopkins
University, Baltimore. His writings
on political subjects while at Johns
Hopkins attracted much attention,
and he was offered the professorial
chair at Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania,
the famous college for women, where
he remained for three years. From
Bryn Mawr he went to Wesleyan uni­
versity, at Middletown, Conn., as pro­
fessor of history and political econo­
my. nnd in 1S90 he joined the faculty
of Princeton university ns professor
of political economy and jurispru­
dence. The title of this chair was
later changed to professor of jurispru­
dence and polities. In 1902 Professor
Wilson was chosen president of
Princeton university and occupied
that position for eight years, His ln-
cumbency of the office was a contin­
ual fight against special privileges
nnd an effort to make the university
more democratic than it had been In
the past. In 1910 President Wilson
was nominated as the candidate of
the Democrats of New Jersey for gov­
ernor and was elected by a plurality
of nearly 50,000 after a speaking cam­
paign that was remarkable In rousing
the i>eople of the state from one end
to the other and swinging to his sup­
port thousands of Republicans who
were dissatisfied with the present con­
duct and management of the Repub­
lican party.
Governor Wilson has more than
fulfilled his pledges. He promised
the people of New Jersey that he
would be their representative at the
state cnpitol and would guard the in­
terests of the whole people to the best
of his ability. Among the specific
promises which he made were that he
would do al) In his power to secure
the enactment of the public utilities
bill for the control of railroads and
other public service corporations; a re­
vised primary law that would give the
people absolute control of the nomina­
tions for all officers, including dele­
gates to presidential conventions, and
take the selection of candidates out of
the hands of the bosses; a corrupt
practices law that would make bribery
and the use of money of corporations
in elections difficult, if not impossible;
a law providing for the commission
government of cities by the votes of
the citizens nnd ineluding the features
of the Initiative and referendum nnd
the recall; an employers’ liability law
.which would protect the interests of
the workers automatically without
making it necessary for them to go to
court to obtain their rights in case of
injury while at work and several re­
form laws of great local importance in
his own state.
Although the legislature of New Jer­
sey was Democratic on joint ballot,
the senate was Republican, and at
first it seemed to every one that Gov­
ernor Wilson had undertaken a hipe-
less task of endeavoring to force these
reforms through an unwilling legisla­
ture. People declared that he would
find practical politics something en­
tirely different from the academic tbe-
or'os which were supposed to Le his
political stock in trade, l ut they reck­
oned without their ::i. They did not
realize that all of Governor Wilson's
life had been a training for active
participation in polities and that ids
Trudies and research into political bls-
tory and political methods had given
him a wider knowledge of the power
of the people under agressive leader­
ship than any of the bosses ol' either
party possessed. His whole political
theory is based upon the right of the
people to rule and their power to rule
when their efforts are properly conceii
trail'd, and be demonstrated that his
theory was correct when one after an­
other his proposed reforms were
forced through the legislature by tbe
power of public opinion.
Even before Governor Wilson took
his seat in the executive chamber be
had won a victory over the bosses in
his own party, which had inspired the
people with renewed confidence and
terrorized the professional politicians
who were inclined to oppose his re­
forms. The election of a United States
senator from New Jersey was tile first
important work for the new legislature
to undertake. James Smith, Jr., long
known as the big boss of tlie Demo­
cratic party in the state, had decided
that he wanted this particular plum
for himself, and be announced him­
self as a candidate, hut at tlie pri­
maries held early in 1910 James A.
Martine, a clean and popular citizen,
had been a candidate for the senatorial
nomination and had received the in­
dorsement of tlie people at tlie polls.
Smith's name had not been presented
at tlie primaries. This did not make
any difference to Smith, who thought
that Ills power us boss was sufficient to
override the will of the people. Gov­
ernor-Elect Wilson declared that Siqith
should not be senator, that lie had no
claim upon the office and that Martine
had the strongest claim of all, that of
popular indorsement. The fight be­
tween the old boss and the new leader
was short, sharp and decisive. Back-
id by public opinion, the new governor
won. and Martine was elected senator
on the first ballot.
With these triumphs to his credit it
is umnll wonder that the people of the
United States ure coming to look upon
Woodrow Wilson as one of the great­
est political leaders who have been de­
veloped in recent years. A progressive
of tlie progressives. It does not worry
Governor Wilson any to be called a
radical. In fact, he calls himself a
radical. “I am radical,” said Governor
Wilson recently, “and the first ele-
ment of my radicalism Is: Let’s get
nt the root of the whole tiling and
We
resume popular government,
mean to have the kind of government
we thought we had. I am ready to
draw the Initiative and .referendum at
any time. I believe in it. I have not
the slightest fear of its disturbing our
theory of representative government.
I don’t worry about theories anyhow;
It’s facts that worry me. The fact is
we in New Jersey have not got any­
thing but the theory, while in states
where they have tried it the Initiative
and referendum has given them back
representative government. It works,
you know, without being called on to
work at all. Where législative repre­
sentatives know that if they fail real­
ly to represent, the people liave the
power to take the legislation back into
their own hands, those representatives
have- an effective motive to represent.
The initiative and referendum is like
a gun behind the door—for use in case
of emergency, but a mighty good per­
suader nevertheless.”
It is perhaps unnecessary to add to
this explanation of Governor Wilson’s
attitude toward public affairs that
Thb Best of All.

MARRYING EN MASSE.
Curious New Year’s Custom of Plou-
gastels of Brittany.
Some curious and distinctive mar­
riage customs prevail among the Plou-
gastels. a strange race of people
(thought by some to be of Asiatic ori­
gin, inhabiting Plougastel Daoulas, in
Brittany, who are great strawberry
growers. They are also noted for in­
termarrying exclusively with each oth­
er. The alliances, which are engineered
by an intermediary known as the baa-
ralaine, all take place on one day,
usually the first Tuesday of the new
year. The basralaines start their cam­
paign in September as soon as the har­
vest is gathered in, demanding on be­
half of the intending bridegroom the
hand of his bride elect.
The courtship is then authorized and
proceeds with ardor during the dark
months which follow. Last year twen­
ty-three couples were married in the
parish church on Jan. 8.
After the ceremony come dancing
and feasting. The great dinner which
is served at the numerous inns begins
at 2 o'clock and lasts well on to mid­
night. The favorite dish is tripe, and
an inordinate quantity of alcohol is
consumed—one would like to know
with what results.
The whole place is en fete, and there
are never fewer than 2.000 guests.
After the orgy the united couples re­
pair to their separate homes. They do
not take up their joint life until the
following evening (after the service
for the dead and a second feast), when
they are escorted to the bridal cham­
ber by a large contingent of grooms­
men and bridesmaids, to whom soup
aud cakes are presented by the newly
married.—Sphere.

ery kind and that lie is particularly
agaiust the high protective tariff sys­
tem and what he terms the outrageous
Paine-Aldrich tariff law, and perhaps
it is unnecessary to add that these
are no new convictions on Governor
Wilson's part, but are the fruit of a
lifetime of study and observation of
political affairs, of a life spent in train­
ing for active public service for which
the opportunity has just come to him.
In his home life the governor is su­
premely happy. Ills tastes are quiet,
and his charming wife and three
bright and attractive daughters are
the center of all of bls recreations and
amusements. Rather fond of the open
air, he is not a sportsman lu any sense
of the term, although he occasionally
finds opportunity to play golf, which
he does very badly, with some of his
most intimate friends. When it. was
announced in April that Governor Wil­
son was to visit the Pacific const dur-
