INSCRIPTIONS man in politics attains
triumph. Sometimes his bay tree
remains green and flourishing until
the end. Such men, however. are
those who are the designers and not
the instruments of the schemes by
which they profit. All the state
knows that this extra session is not
of your planning. If it is called, you
will be surrendering your better judg-
ment to the pressure, the importuni-
ties and temptations of others. I'm
der such circumstances, you will bear
most of the blame-others will reap
all the benefit.
We have said that you stood at the
parting of the ways. 1t is true. You
have not yet, in any public way, COM
mitted yourself. You can still be true
to what we believe is your own in
most conviction. You can say that
you will be no party to any advice
which will change or altar our pres
ent election laws. BY so doing you
will step at once from the position of
follower to leader. You will be
thereafter recognized throughout the
state and by all classes of citizens as
man who not only speaks and acts
for himself, but who speaks and acts
in conformity with the dictates OF a
high and enlightened public con-
science From the moment that you
thus make yourself the champion
of popular rights you become the
strongest man in your party. The
choice is before you. Which road
will you take?

Extra Session No Nearer.

The Tantalus cup of extra session
still bangles temptingly before the
lips of the Democratic leaders, but is
apparently no nearer being quaffed
than it was on Saturday. If any
thing, it is little further away, for
the illness of State Senator Jacob NJ.
Moses will preclude any possibility of
the Legislature meeting for at least
ten days.
Senator Moses submitted to a Sc
we're, though not dangerous, surgical
operation Sunday at his home in Bal
timore and his brother Mr. Daniel
NJ. Moses, said that DR.. Samuel T..
Earle, his attending physician, had
given no hope that he would be able
to leave the house inside of ten days.
As the vote of every Democratic
Senator would be needed to pass any
partisan legislation, it would seem
likely that even if an extra session
should be called this week it would
not be dated to begin earlier than
March l. As March will begin on
Friday and as Governor Smith has
arranged to attend the Inauguration
on March 4, the time may not be be-
fore March 6.
Governor Smith is indisposed, suf-
fering with sore throat and an an
noying cough.

To the Editor of The Republican
In one of my letters from the Sun
ny South l spoke of forming the
acquaintance of a lovely, intelligent
lady of position and wealth, who,
nevertheless, bore on her countenance
the marks of some terrible sorrow.
From her | learned the sad story
which reads like a romance, but is a
true tale. | will not give location or
name. The latter is well known in
social and political circles.
On the shore of beautiful southern
bay stands a handsome building, of
modern architecture, furnished with
rare paintings, works of art, oriental
rugs, treasures from the old world, a
magnificent piano, etc. This is the
abode of love, peace and joy, | said.
Alas How little we can judge.
Some years ago brilliant young
man graduated from one of our col
leges. Always a hard student, fine
lipguist, grand performer on the
piano, and plenty of money, he turn
ed his attention to scientific pursuits.
The physicians warned him that he
was overtaxing his brain. His parents
pleaded in vain. The collapse came.
He became melancholy, suspicious,
and avoided society. The father sank
beneath the blow. The heroic mother
resolved to devote her life to her only
son. The physicians said it was a
most singular case and the only way
to ever ameliorate his sad condition
was to take him to some secluded
spot. They went south and for time
his mind was diverted by seeing to the
erection of the home | alluded to.
Then his attention tagged. Visitors
were prohibited. He positively forbid
any one to even cross his extensive
grounds. Now the mothers brave
heart failed her. She knew her son
was doomed.
| have often seen him pacing up
and down the sands. Tall, erect and
handsome, with piercing black eyes,
looking straight ahead; speaking
not to friend or foe. Often the mother
would come to me and sitting together
on the cool gallery, with tear-dimmed
eyes and thin, nervously clasped
hands, unburden her heart. Surely
it seemed there was no sorrow like
unto her sorrow" "Oh, if | could
only help him to bear the burden"
she would say, "but to see him suffer
day after day and l am powerless. /
hear him rise all hours of the night
and roam through the house, or play
ing the widest music, dying off into
the saddest minor key. glance from
my window and see him wandering
through the trees and shrubbery
battling alone with his agony. Again
he will rap at my door, begging to
come in, and l dare not, for | am
alone in the large house and l have
been warned of my danger" What
a sad picture-the son kneeling be-
fore the mothers closed door in the
midnight hour and she, torn with
love and fear, denying him admit
lance. One day he silently stroked
the once glossy hair, now grey with
sorrow and pain, and then softly
said: Poor mother, this life is kill
ing you. am not worth it'll"
A beautiful summer day; the birds
