may refuse to digest what you eat.

Legislation in 1901

From the Providence Journal.
We now have forty-fve State and six
Territorial Legislatures. Fortunately,
there are annual sessions In only six
Territorial Legislatures. Fortunately
there ara annual sessions in only six
States New York. Massachusetts,.
Rhode Island. New Jersey. Georgia, ana
South Carolina. Even so, the total
amount of Legislation each year is
enormous. It is encouraging to notice
that the tendency toward fewer ses-
sions of Legislatures is spreading; The
list of States still holding legislative
sessions every year is growing smaller
and smaller. and some of those hold
ing biennial sessions are considering
the advisability of changing to quad
.rennial. Alabama having led in this
movement. The dread Of excessive
law-making is not without good
grounds. and the habit of lawmakers
devoting half the year to amending re-
pealing and replacing existent statutes
the Bay State is the worst victim Of
needlessly long sessions-is being
checked In many sections of the coun-
try. Furthermore. other checks on
i'm the form of restrictions upon the
kind OF legislation that can be passed.
But most promising of all signs are
the capitalization of a popular senti-
ment against paternal legislation and
the dissemination of a feeling that
| Legislators are inclined 10 attempt al
| together too many unnecessary and
foolish reforms.
Tho New York State Library has
just published its twelfth annual COM
lparativo summary and index covering
1.-THE laws passed last year. This bullo
! tin digests in the compass of four hun
! ldred pages the annual product Of all
the Legislatures What labor this in
wolves can be judged from
the simple facts that our Legislature.

Thousand laws every two years
The tables show that 14.23S laws have
been passed during the last twelve
months. most of them being private
local or contemporary measures, there
have also been over one hundred con-
lstitutional amendments considered OF
voted upon and sixty-nine statutes
have been declared unconstitutional by
the courts. For the student these Ia.
bles afford rare opportunities for eX-
lamining the general trend of legisla.
tion and for drawing interesting con.
clusions in regard to our sociological
and political development; but for tn,
llaymen they are the most valuabl,
lmere,y as a reminder of the alm0s
limitless extension of our statute

NEWSPAPER OPINION
RoseberY as a erlton
D the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Such publication of Lord Roseberys
Chesterfield speech on the South Afri-
can situation as has been made on this
side of the ocean iustifes the COM
menis on it which have been cabled
| from England. II was the most not
able public utteranCe that has been
made on the subject for many months.
Rosebery did not take any new posi-
uon in the speech. He simply elabo-
rated his old views. and they are the
views Of a far-seeing mind. If the
British Empire is to hold together it
must keep South Africa IL cannot
afford to surrender there where its own
territory was invaded and where its
Authority was questioned. But while
South Africa must be kept. the ma
ton must not forget that Briton and
Boer must live together side by side
and that frlendliness rather than hos
tintv must be cultivated. A policy Of
cancellation and compromise is needed
within the broad general policy OF alb
lsorption.
The Liberals went to pieces because
they did not understand the issue in
yOlved when the Beers invaded British
territory, and the scattered fragments
OF the party have been Hopping about
England over since. They have not had
Sense enough 10 get together on some
policy with a backbone to It which
would make It possible for them to
stand erect and fight for the imperial
idea. Roseberry spoke as a Briton in
Chesterfield rather than as a Liberal.
And II the Liberal party is rehabili-
tated Il will be because other Liberals
can take the view which he has taken
and because the Tories abandon it and
take the small view.

Bachelors Thought Disgusting.

to the one.
Three women had come into the
street car mt different intervals with
babies of different intervals. The first
baby was lusty child with nerve test
ing lungs. The second was about
year old, and the mother. just a little
bit embarrassed at the bachelors
glarcs, finally gained courage to take
bottle from a grip and plug up babys
mouth with Il rubber neck. The third
baby was the newest of them all and
entered the ear Il mere white bundle in
the arms of a dignified matron hardly
out Of short skirts.
Beginning to unwrap the bundle
which had been somewhat disarranged
in the haste to embark, the proud
mother first unfolded a cunning pair of
blue worsted booties that might tit a
grumpy old bachelors thumb. Then,
feeling the eyes of the world upon her,
she showed baby's two fat legs, which
We're as pink as her own ears. Then
the cunning sight was solemnly shut
from all eyes by n procession Of gowns
all of white, laced, tucked, embroidered
and plain, the fat legs kicking vigor-
ously, and baby's laces hid them from
sight.
Then the little mother sat the bundle
upright and threw a soft cloak from
the other end. disclosing a round face,
pair of blue eyes wide open in amaze
ment and rs pretty and baldheaded a
baby from end to end as ever made a
bachelor angry at his own lost oppor-
tunities. Then the three mothers smil-

ldiniculty in reaching an understand
ing with the company, which will be
satisfactory to all.
But regarding the Welsbach con
tracts there Is something yet TO be I'M
covered Il Is said that that concern
has contract good for ten years,
passed by the Street and Sewer Com
mission and approved by former
Mayor Fahey This accounts for the
installation of the lights prior to the
time when the people supposed the
contracts were under consideration.
There is something here which will
bear investigation, and we are Of the
opinion that there may be a way Of
setting this contract aside.
II appears that the contract was exc
cuted and signed by Mayor Fahey just
before he stepped out Of office last
June. though not a word of the trans
action was given out and the people
were in ignorance that IL was IN con-
temptation. That contract we are told
was executed June %. and on Decem-
Der 81. the proposition Of the company
again came under consideration, just
as though there was no contract So
the commission proceeded to pass IT.
again
IL Is said that the original contract
left blank the term OF It's continuance;
the question arises: Was this part
blank when Mayor Fahey signed it?
Presumably Il was, since at later per-
iod the commission by resolution de-
termined upon the term Of years. If
the Mayor filled in the clause covering
the number of years, when IL had not
been determined by the commissioners,
then he materially altered the con-
tract and It therefore is null and void.
If he did not FIJI in this clause. but left
it blank when he appended his sigma
ture. then there was no contract cover
ing the ten-year period. entered into
during his incumbency Therefore. In
any event, the Welsbach company has
no contract for a period of years, and
II may be doubted whether it has a
contract of any kind
tt should also be noticed that there
was an endeayor to arrange for ten
year contract for lighting more than
six months before the old contracts ex-
pred. and before the new agreement
could become operative. For an execu-
tive to seek to bind his successors for
ten years, by entering into engage
ments which should begin six months
subsequent TO his retirement, We be-
lieye would not hold in a court Of
law.

The rope was made from the hairs of

One of the prettiest views shown

she sang the enhancing air which
lured unwary sailors to their doom.

hearing of the witcheries of the Lore

where the lovely maid sat combing her
hair and singing her song, that even
he was charmed and leaned upon the
rock to listen and by 50 doing. left the
impression of his form upon the rock.
