THE MASSACHUSETTS LEGIsLA.
lure.

JOsEpH Cook ami other ayitatori
forwarded recently to tue Masaachu'
sets general assemblya petition pray
ing for laws providing for the suppress
sion Of Sunday newspapers aud for the
suspension OF Sunday trains. Tue
House Committee on Judiciary report
ed that 1t would be inexpedicnt to act
In n Legislative way on the petition.
The Massachusetts Legislature has
just passed o very sweeping anti'ffee'
pass Jaw, which was signed 10y Gov.
crnor Russell few days ago. The
At,orney.general has given his opin.
ion to the effect that the bill Is entirely
In harmony with the constitution OF
the State, The bill provides that no
railroad company shall grant to any
State official, from Governor and mem
Der OF the Legislature down, any
free pass or ticket emitting the
holder To free transportation, or
even to less than the ordinary fare.
Any railroad official found guilty OF
forwarding any such transportation
certificate shall be fined not loss than
500 nor more than $1,000. And any
public official found guilty OF accept
ing or even soliciting free passes shall
be- fined not less than 500 nor more
than $1,000.
Tho compensation IL settled for each
member OF the Senate and House Mt
$3.50 for the regular annual session,
and 81 for every mile OF ordinary ira
yelling distance, the president Of the
senate and Speaker Of the house TO re-
ceive double the amount OF compensa'
ton and the same amount for mileage
rs the mombnrs.
This completely demollshes the free
pass system In Massachusetts, where II
was shown that member OF the legis-
la'ure never paid one cent q railroad
fare since the first Introduction Of
reads In that State. The law went
into effect the morning after It received
the signature OF the Governor. II
shows that public feeling among the
descendants OF the Puritans Is opposed
to alliance Of STATE aud railroad.

TIM American contributions for the
relief OF the people Of the famine
stricken districts Of Russia have
awakened friendly feeling In the do
main OF the Car toward this country.
The sentiment almost amounts to On.
thusinsm.
This shows tho difference OF feeling
existing In Russia toward Great Brit
ain and the United States respectively.
An intention wits expressed to raise
funds Ia London to aid In relieving
the famine.ailiicted people. II was
plainly stated, however, that Russia
would not accept OF the assistance II
IL were rendered aud the philanthTopic
purpose was nipped Ia the bud. There
were two strong reasons behind this
declination. One was the traditional
antlpathy existing between the two
nations. The other was that,
Just prior to the movement to
raise relief fund, n petition

the Car to ease up In his treatment
OF the Jewish residents OF his empire,
had irriiated that potentate, and
caused him To retort TO the effect, that
he knew enough to attend to mis- own
business, without outside assistance.
In his last general message to Con-
gress, President Harrison commented
upon the situation Of the Jews In
Russia, and suggested the proprie,y Of
requesting the Car to deal less harsh
ly with them. The subject has been,
In consequence, before the present
Congress, but no petition or representa-.
ton to the Emperor OF Russia from
this government has yet reached him.
In view Of the present condition VI
Russian feeling toward this country,
this would be an opportune time to
make the proposed appeal on behalf Of
the unfortunate remnants OF Israel re-
siding IN that country.

the United states provision IL made Tor
Presidential electors In the following
worIs; "Ench State shall appoint, in
such manner as the Legislature there
of may direct, n number OF Electoiei
equal 70 the whole number Of Senators
and Representatives to which the
State may be entitled la the Congress
but no Senator or Representative OF
person holding an Office Of trust or
profit under the United States, shall be
appointed an Elector."
From this It will be observed that
the question Of Presidential electors Is
entirely state affair. However, there
IL another clause In the Constitution
which says;
"Tho Congress may determine the
time Of choosing the electors, and the
day on which they shall give their
votes; which day shall be the same
throughout the United States"
But this merely gives Congress the
authority ~ determine the time, and
had no reference TO the manner Of
procedure.
In the first Presidential election
eleven States participated. The mum
her Of electors was iifty.six. Wash.
ington received the votes Of the entire
college for President, John Adams re-
ceived thiriy.four Tor Nico.Pnsident,
which elected him. Al the second
election Washington was unanimously
elected President, and John Adams
received seventy seven Of the one
hundred and thlfty.two electoral votes,
fifteen states having participated. NJ
the third election, In 1926, there were
four candidates, Adams, Jefferson,
Pinokney and Burr Sixteen states
participated. Adams received seventy.
one electoral votes aud Jefferson sixty.
eight. They held opposite views In
pollllcs, but as the Constitution then
stood they were elected President aud
Vice.Presidont, respectively.
In 1900 party lincs began to be
drawn. A caucus was held In Phila.
drlphia Mt which Jefferson aud Burr
were nominated by anti.Feieralists.
The Fedcralists nominated Adams
and Pinckney. Jefferson and Burr
received each seventy-three electoral
votes, Adams six,y.four ard Pinckney
slxty.tbree. The constitution provided
for the person having the greatest
number OF electoral votes 10 be Presi-
dent. Burr ayailed himself Of the OPP
portuni,y 10 crafty his inordinate
ambition, though 1t was distinctly un.
derstood that his place In the race was

Sense in National prorerbs.

There is a deal of sound sense in the
proverbs of a nation. Earl Russell de-
fined proverb as being the wit of one
man and the wisdom of many, and the
aptness of this is well shown in the fol-
lowing from the Spanish, "Since we
cannot get what we like, let us like what
we get" The thought is as old as the
race of mankind, but ages passed before
one man hit upon the happy expression
of it. This saying, from the Chinese, is
a whole homily on pride in one sentence,
when o tree is blown down, it shows
that the branches are longer than the
roots"
For concise expression of the lofty
aspirations of youth and the sober
achievements of ripper years, take this
sentence from Henry D. Thoreau, 'sThe
youth gets together his materials to
build o bridge to the moon, or perchance
palace or temple on the earth, and at
length the middle aged man concludes
to build woodshed with them. ."-B. A.
Heydrick in Brains.

The Planchette.

The plarehette was the popular craze
in the year 1887 in Japan. The instru-
ment used there consists of three pieces
of bamboo of specified length tied in
the middle to form tripod, over which
is inverted shallow circular tray of
lacquered ware about a foot in diane
ter. The legs are foot 6 inches, Japan
ese, in length. All present put their
hands gently on the tray, and the cokuri,
as the object is called, or cokuri san, san
being honorifc, is politely asked to an
swer the proposed questions by raising
one leg for .'yes" and another for mo"
Or for Eyes" by turning around, many
such devices being used. The operation
will be seen to be more closely allied to
stable turning than what we know as
the planchette. Philadelphia Ledger.
