HARRISBURG.

At the last session Of the Legislat ure
two Joint resolutions were passed pro
posing amendments to the state Consti-
tuition, looking forward to the enact
ment Of better and more stringent cleo
ton laws. Gov. Stone claimed the
right to veto theseres0lutions, and did
30. His right was disputed and the
Dauphin Co. Court sustained him; but,
on Tuesday Of this week, the State Su-
preme Court, sitting in Harrisburg,
made decision reversing the Dauphin
Co Court, and directing the Secretary
of the Commonwealth 10 publish the
proposed Amendments three months be
fore the next general election
THE people will not vote on the pro
posed amendments at the coming cleo
ton. but will elect members Of the next
Legislature at that time with knowledge
that that body will pass again upon the
question of submitting the amendments
to popular vote This il the reason foi
requiring publication of the amend
ments this year. II the next legi sla-
ture approves Of the submission of tbs
amendments. the vote upon them by the
people will then be had at a specialelec-
ton ~ be fixed by the Legislature.
Dti
the matter as follows.
The decision Of the State Supreme
court Yesterday in the matter Of the
veto of the joint resolutions Of the Legis
lature submitting the proposed ballot
reform amendments to the constitution,
10 the vote Of the people, is a crushing
rebuke 10 Coy. Stone. The Supreme
court not only reversed the absurd de
a. Il
tanning his action, but il went further
and took measures to prevent that ac-
ton having any more evil effects in de
laying matters by providing that the
amendment should be published three
months before the next general election.

bunal portrays 10 the world Pennsylva-

ing light. But he has only himself, and
those whose bidding he has chosen to
make his guide in lieu OF the plain man
dates Of the organic law, To blame for
his humiliation.
The plain letter Of the constitution, as
well as uniform precedent made it clear
10 even the most ordinary mind that he
had no right TO veto the action Of the
Legislature in this matter, but he chose
10 ignore the fundamental law and the
oath he took to support it, In order r.
thwart what he considered an attempt
TO secure honest elections. In doing
this his sole object was to further the
designs Of the faction whose interests
he has steadily sought to serve, instead
Of those Of the Republican party and
the people Of the State generally. and il

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
POLITICAL

At New Castle, Monday night, Con
gresham Showalter was made the Re
publican nominee of the district for a
third term-unexpectedly to himself and
everybody else. He favored Brown Of
New Castle. and time and again during
the conference at Beaver, and that
afternoon, had thirteen Of the Butler
county delegation voted for Brown
The second choice Of the Mercer county
delegation, on the other hand, was Gun
ningham OF Beaver, and when they saw
that neither their own man (RobinsOn)
nor Cunningham could be nominated.
they determined to beat Brown, whom
they accused Of buying two Of their
men. and to nominate Showalter.
And 20 on the 59th ballot, which was
the fifth taken at the evening session,
and after Lawrence Co. had cast IL
votes for Showalter, 13 Of the Mercer
county delegation voted for him, Butler
came next with Is, and this gave him
Al votes and nominated him The nom
ination was made unanimous, though
the Beaver people seemed to be greatly
disappointed
The convention met in the Elks' hall,
that afternoon and took q ballots,
which with the 70 taken at Beaver
made 81; and then adjourned for supper.
The delegates were mostly young men;
but there was one very old delegate j.
VI. Lawrence Of Lawrence county, aged
o. years, and very delicate-and the
other delegates wondered that he could
stand the hot and stuffy at mosphere OF
the crowded hall
All the applicants for the Butler ?. O.
or close friends for them were present
watching the course Of events.
We Congratulate the Doctor upon his
phenomenal success in politics
first thing Butler county knows, it will
have candidate for President.

Gay Old Butler.
There wasn't much Of Butler
A hundred years ago.
For then, history tells Ms,
Shed just basun 10 grow.
She nestled in the forest,
Where nightly screechsd the owl,
And where the bears and wolves
Were often known 10 prowl.
They did not have fine buildings
A hundred years ago;
The pioneers built houses
For use and not for show.
a house Of logs constructed,
With chimneys on the ontBide
Was then the stately dwelling,
They pointed 10 with pride.
They didn't have the steam cars,
A hundred years ago.
In fact they had 10 travel
In manner very slow.
On rough wagons
They'd plottingly proceed,
And thought that they were going
Alta wOndroub rate Of speed.
But now there's much Of Butler,
Aud highly she IL classed
For since che started growing
a century has passed
And what was once forest
Where savage beasts were killed,
Is now n bustling city,
With happy people filed.
There schools and churches
Are seen on every side;
And there 10 costly mansions
The people point with pride.
And where the clumsy wagons
Once ratified along the lanes,
They now are swiftly riding
On railroad trains.
A century Of progress
Has thus been rounded ont,
And now in gay old Butler
With joy the people shout.
They'v We decked the town in bunting;
Flags everywhere displayed;
And with the bands all playing
They through the streets parade.
There's wild delight in Butler,
And all about her age;
In history she is putting
A bright centennial page.
She's certainly deserving,
This great big noisy row
And there will be one greater
A hundred years from now,

Washington, May 3o.-Hon. Charles E.
Littlefield has introduced bill providing
for the cession of Widows island, with
the buildings and improvements thereon,
to the State of Maine by the national
government. This island Is on Fox
Island Thoroughfare, on the Maine coast,
less than twenty miles from Rockland.
The buildings on the island consist of a
naval hospital with some outbuildings.
This hospital Is q substantial building
constructed about dozen years ago at a
cost of seventy five thousands dollars or
more. 1t has never been used for the
purpose for which 1t was construed, as 1t
is too far away from naval centers to be
used as hospital. The government has
been at the expense Of keeping acustodias
at the building for ten or twelve yearn
and the navy department would like to
get rid Of this expense. In fact the sur
geon general of the navy suggested to Mr..
Littlefieli that the island and the build :
ings thereon be ceded to the state Of
Maine
Mr.. Littlefleld thinks the building and
island would be most suitable for the
purposes Of woman's reformatory for
the state Of Maine. The island is a
beautiful placs, and the building is large
and well constructed.
The bill in the House has been referred
to the committee on naval affairs. AS the
navy department Is anxious to get rid of
the building 1t would seem that the
chances are pretty good for Maine to get
the property.

An hours ride from Tours in almost
any direction brings you 10 some wonder
OF architecture, some turreted castle or
historic site. 80 the afternoon on which
we left the house Of the hansmaa Of Lou
is XII. we FASTENED to take the express
for Amboise, twenty minutes distant.
The glory Of Amboise is the fine View
Of the Loire from Its battlements and ter
races; and It's special feature Is the great
round tower with its curious inclined
plane by which as Of old coaches and four
may be driven to Its summit. Its artis-
tic gem is the Chapel Of st. Hubert with
It's wonderful sculptured gables allegori-
cal Of scenes In that holy mans life.
Within are buried the remains OF
Leonardo da vinoi who died here In 1919.
Amboise was frequent resort Of the
French Court during the 10th century.
Here Mary Stuart, when the wife of
Francis H., learned her first lessons In
state craft. From the balcony OF the
council-hall, she was permitted. wfeh
Catherine di Medici and sundry members
Of her family to witness the slaughter
OF tWelNe huhurcu huBuchosS
heads were afterwards suspended from
this same iron railing which supports
the visitor today.
1t is not wonderful that the reputation
Of this unfortunate queen afterwards
suffered, nor the fault Of her mother'1r
law and her uncles, the Guises, by whuap
instigation the slaughter occurred. But
1t was hard TO realize tn ese terrible mis-
doings and to comprehend the grewsoms
lessons of this young girls life, that
bright afternoon as we watched the SD
very current of the far shining Loire,
which tells no tales Of the drowning OF
the Huguenots, nor the numberless Sc
crets 1t hides in Its placid bosom, as 1t
glides on it's way to It's home ON the
not far distant waters of the sea.

Nervousness is very common among

the reservoirs Of nervous vitality.
These centers become bloodless for want
Of proper nutrition. This is especially
true in the spring season. Every spring

direct result of weak nerves.
