IT is very Generally conceded that the
United States Senate is no place for small
politicians. Since the adoption Of the
Federal Constitution its members have,
as "A rule, been men Of high character and
great ability. OF late years there has
been disposition, especially in the
West, to elect men whose only apparent
qualification is their wealth. 1t is hoped
that this innovation will not come East
ward or reach Rhode Island. The New
England members Of the Senate have
usually been men who do credit 20 their
states. Rhode Island has always done
her part in keeping up this high stand
ard Since the deaths Of Anthony and
Burnside our Senators Aldrich and
Chace have ably represented the state.
Now that senator Chacc has resigned we
can think Of no worthicr successor TO his
place than Judge LeBaron Colt Of
Bristol.

less ability mentioned for the position.
Among them is Ex-Governor wetmore.
Judge Colt, Hon. Ellery Wilson, Hon.

A Dangerous Custom.

Quite little hustle has been made
by the newspapers because a certain
physician. who was recently summoned
to appear in court in New Jersey, re-
fused to kiss very dirty looking bible
winch was presented to his lips in the
administration of the oath. The episode
occasioned sir in the court, and the
physician was obliged to set aside his
feelings to comply with the legal re-
quirements. 1t was not, however, with
out protest, which We fully endorse.
The kissing of the bible, in any case, is
q form which might easily, without the
sacrifice of solemnity or the strictness of
an oath, be set aside in favor of simply
touching the book with the hand. The
person who kisses bible in court has
not the least surety that his lips do not
come into direct contact with the pollu-
ton left by q predecessor who was suf-
fering from some foul skin disease or
taint, not to speak of the germs of erup-
tive fevers and the like. A very simple
way of getting around the matter would
be to have bible bound in some water
proof material, which could and should
be sedulously washed clean after every
use. This is precaution which is due
to public health, and which could easily
be instituted by every court. If the
lawyers who insists SO strenuously on
these fine points of the law had more
bible kissing to do themselves, they
might better realize the pertinence Of
what we say.-Medical Register.
