l His problem In political mathe
matics was submitted to a group of
congressmen by Representative
'Billy'' Hughes of New Jersey. That
congressional arithmetic is not an ex
act science was proved by the fact
that the "answers" varied from two
down to zero, with xero the prime fa
vorite in the betting.
Then Mr. Hughes told them the
story of New Jersey and its experience
with a platform and a legislature and
incidentally a governor.
The democratic state platform in
the New Jersey campaign of 1910
promised five particular reforms, each
of them radical and each of them ap
parently academic. They were. A
new election law to take the control
of nominations out of the hands of the
bsses; an empiyers" liability law just
i to both employer and employe; a cor
rupt practices act to stop wrongful
or excessive use of money in elections;
a public utilities commission with ac
tual and not merely theoretical pow
er; and a law regulating the cold
storage of food. These five things
were promised In the democratic
platform.
New Jersey had been a machine
ruled state for years and nobody took
platform promises seriously. Nobody
expected them to be redeemed. A
political party platform was like a
street car platform something to
get in on.
When the election was over New
Jersey found that it had elected a
democratic governor, a senate repub
lican by 12 to 9 and a lower house
democratic by 42 to 18. Of course the
republicans, controlling the senate,
could block any legislation they de
sired. They determined at once to
stop all the bills of the governor's
program and, what is more, the old
time democratic machine leaders de
ckled not to let the bilU x pass the
lower house. That was the situation
when the legislature met in January.
When it adjourned in April every
one of the five promises made in the
democratic platform were laws on the
statute books of New Jersey and along
with them were several other new re
form !?
That the redemption of those plat
form promises was due solely to the
courage and practical common sense
of Governor Woodrow Wilson is ad
mitted by everybody In New Jersey,
republican or democrat, friend or foe.
These are some of the laws that
were passed by that legislature: An
e'ection law that provided for all
nominations from president down to
constable to be made in direct pri
maries held by the state authorities,
that eliminates the power of bosses
by abolishing the old party machin
ery, that provides for all elections to
be held by officers who have passed
a civil service examination to show
their fitness, and that requires voters
to sign their names so as to make a
"repeater" liable to punishment for
forgery.
An employers liability law that
does away with damage suits. When
an employe is Injured the law says
just how much damages he is entitled
for that particular injury and it is
paid. The employes are benefited be
cause they do not have to wait for
years to get justice; the employers,
because it enables them to know what
they have to pay and relieves them of
heavy legal expense.
A corrupt practices act that recu-
lutes the expenditure of campaign
funds, requires publication to be made
of al! contributions and expenditures,
fnj makes the penalty of violation the
'jrl.-iture of the office. A candidate
t r govrnor may spend $2500, under
this law, and no more. Candidates for
congress may spend Jl'.oo, candidates
for county offices, $500, and so on
down the list. The law goes farther
and prohibits intimidation it prohib
its the posting of political handbills
in factories, and all other means that
employers may take to influence their
employes in politics.
A pub ic utilities commission was
created with complete power to reg
ulate railways, street ear lines, tele
phone companies and all other pub
lic utilities in the interests of the pub-
lie; a power backed up with the ma
chin.-ry to make it effective.
A law was passed prohibiting the
co d storage of food for longer than
t-n months and providing for the
sale nt public auction of all food
stored In violation of the law.
These were the things promised.
These were the things performed. But
the performances were not limited to
the scope of the promises. That same
legislature, under the firm guiding
hand of that same governor passed a
law providing for the commission form
of government for cities with the Ini
tiative, referendum nd recall of ad
ministrative officers; a law abolish
ing. convict labor In the state prison;
a law providing for adequate protec
tion of factories from fire; a law al
lowing the state attorney-general to
pr-rtic'pnte In criminal prosecutions in
counties; and a half dozen other pro
gresKlve measures.
Puch Is the record of practical
achievement that
Woodrow Wilson

made in a few months. The New Jer-
v nai ooarow Wilson has done
for New Jersey as its governor is a I
fair example of what he wi'.l do for
te nation as its president."

purpose of launching a boom for

ON PANAMA TOLLS
Washington, March 18. Accom
panied by a lengthy report, the Pan
ama canal bill was reported out of
the committee on interstate com
merce and will be followed early this
week by the minority report. As the
minority members were not permit
ted to glimpse nt the majority report
as it emerged from the committee,
Representative Know-land asked and
was grunted five davs in which to pre
pare a minority report declaring for
free tolls for American coastwise ship
ring. As a matter of fact, two minority
reports will be made.
The committee bill as reported
bears out the forecast made during
the past few weeks. It provides for
a maximum toll of $1 25 for nil ships,
with a minimum sufficient to pay the
operating expenses of the canal. Pro
vislon is made against railroad inter
ests of any kind in ships plying
through the canal.
The majority reports mnk an el
aborate defense of the provision in
cluding American ships in the tolls
charged.
"First," says the report, "the fin
ancial success of the canal is of prime
importance and its operation Is the
main object of this bill. Financial
returns in the beginning are In doubt.
This operation of the canal will be
not only experimental, but the' pat
ronage and revenue are conjectural.
We know i will require $4,000,000 or
$5,000,000 a year to maintain and op
erate the canal and administer its ad
juncts."

At n recent party the lights were

politely asked her to remove her danc

before dainty, silk-stockinged feet

of a half hundred party dresses and
each blushing girl' was watching the
men pile their dancing slippers in a
heap in the middle of the polished
floor.
Then the lights were turned up
not a foot in sight, only occasionally
the suggestion of a toe protruding
from beneath a skirt's fold. The men
took places about the four sides of
the room and waited. The orchestra
struck up a lively wait, there was a
rush on the part of the men and the
next instant they landed bootball
fashion upon the heap of dancing
pumps.
In due time each mnn emerged from
the mass grasping a shoe. It was
mated with those left in the shattered
pile in the middle of the floor and the
men set out, just as the unhappy
prince of the fairy tale, each to find
hia Cinderella. The stockinged feet
and dainty ank'es were at last dis
played. Each man fitted a shoe to
the foot of its owner and claimed her
as his partner for the dance.
Once more lights were dimmed, the
waltz music was played more softly
and the dancing no matter the step
began.
The innovation has not yet been
sanctioned by the faculty or the stu
dent government association.

Eugene, Ore By defeating the
University of Washington basketball
team, the University of Oregon has
annexed the championship of the
northwestern conference colleges.
Oregon ha played ten conference
games, winning eight, which being the
highest number won by one team,
tives her the undisputed right to the
championship, o. A. C. comes second
on the list, raving seven victories and
two defeats to her credit. Out of a
total of eleven games Washington has
won only seven, thus placing her far
down the list from the winning team.
It has been a custom long in exist-
ence in the northwest college confer
ence leagues as well as in oil profes
sional baseball leagues to count In the
percentage only those games regular
ly scheduled before the playing be
gins, thus preventing a weak team
