Proposed Constitutional Amendment

superior Leader;
The joint resolution proposing an
amendncnt TO the constitution of the
state providing for two additional
judges Of the supreme court has pass
ed two successive legislatures and is
now ready to he voted upon by the
people. Notices are being published
and preparations made for submit
ting the amendment to the people at
the judicial election next month.
Very little has been said in regard to
this proposed amendment, it being
understood that it was first suggest
ed by the members of the supreme
court, who are of the opinion that
their number should be increased in
order to Tighten the work 1t will
now be in order for such persons as
favor this amendment to give some
data showing the necessity, If any
there be, for the increase in the num-
Der Of supreme court judges. IL is
certainly important that the court of
last resort should be efficiently aud
properly equipped. Inasmuch, how
ever, as the work OF the court has
been kept up by the present number,
as their salaries have been increased,
and as they are enabled to take a
reasonable vacation each year, there

Mr.. b. T. Castle has become con-
nected with the newspaper at Madi-
son known as THE State" estab-
lished few years ago and MAIN
tanned as an exponent of the politi-
cal reforms and governmental poll
cies championed by r. M. LaFollette
A. r. Hall and Others Of like mind
and purpose. Since Mr.. Castles TAX
ing hold there Ia a marked improve
ment in the paper 1t Is enlarged to
7 col. quarto size, and has an editor
ial tone that commands attention.
Mr.. Castle is thoroughly familiar
with all phases OF state government
is qualified to write forcibly and un-
derstandingly of them; has ihdepen-
dence of thought and courage to ex-
press honest opinions. A fair sam
pie of his style of thought and ex-
preston is found in the following
"touch up" Of one Of many recognized
evils connected with our state uni
versity; w. II b.
In the early days Of the state Uni
versity one of the principal claims
brought to the attention OF young
men as an inducement 10 attend IL,
was the economy ia the matter Of
expense in Madison over other uni
versitv towns. This claim is no lon
ger maintajnable. The complaint is
heard on ~ sides that the charge for
board and room rent is higher than
in most places where universities are
situated The average farmer boy
seeking university training cannot
afford to pay the prices demanded
for board and lodging, and as u result
many who would, and of right
should, come to our university are
kept away. Before the legisl tnre APP
propriates an other dollar to enlarge
the present university buildings, II
should provide for the construction
of dormitories that would shelter at
least one thousand students at an eX
pense to the students Of not more
than one dollar and twenty five
cents week each. This would bring
down room rentals in the university
section and would bring to this city
hundreds of young men and women
who cannot attend on account of the
expense. If the committee on educa.
ton in the senate and assembly
would call for statistics of the ex-
pense which students pay for board
and rooms, they would get mass of
information that would create n sen
manifest abuse

DodgevIlle Chronicle: The state
senate has passed to third reading n
bill exempting notes, mortgages etc.
from taxation. This is said to be in
the interest OF borrowers who will be
able to secure money at lower rates
of interests when mortgages and
notes are not taxed. The senate has
struc ( bright idea, but its eXemp-
ton bill does not go far enough. The
poor renter would get the use of
house, store, or farm, cheaper per-
haps, if houses and lands were not
taxed. And then, too, If the wealth OF
the money lender is to be exempt, it
would seem only fair to exempt the
unincumbered property of otter
prosperous people.

to have relief from the county fund

empowering county boards to appro-
pirate not to exceed $4,000 for the

There is little doubt but what county
boards could handle this question as
judiciously as other matters of APP

it not for the fact that any opposi-
tion to an appropriation fora sol

the ground of his attitude on the tariff bill
in 1894. But 1t seems to me that II the
democratic party fully understood his posi-
ton on that bill as 1t was understood In the
Senate. the opposition to him on that
ground would not be widespread. what
ever the facts were, Mr.. German believed
that when the Wilson bin came to the Sen
ate it would result in deficiency. If pressed
in that form. of $IO0,0OoO0O. Had there
been such deficiency he was satisfied that
it would put back all genuine tariff reform
forty or fifty years. He aimed to make the
revenue sufficient to prevent a deficiency.
AS 1t turned out, after increasing the tariff
on sugar thirty or forty millions and adding
twenty-five or thirty millions to other
schedules, we finally met deficiency of
thirty or thirty-five millions. 1t was that
view that actuated Mr.. German and If the
convention is made to fully appreciate that
fact don't see how it can hold that against
him.
Mr.. Jones is competent to speak on this
tariff matter. He was a member of the
tariff reform trio to whose hands the Will
son bill was committed in the Senate. He
was the general manager on the floor. Mr..
Vest was the debater. Mr.. Harris Of Ten
neSSee the parliamentarian. They formed
a strong team. But Mr.. German. a protec-
ZIONIST. was too much for them, and he sue
ceeded in rewriting the Wilson bill to suit
his own, and his fellow protectionists', ends.
And Mr.. Jones now in effect indorses all
that Mr.. German did.
But, of course, the matter does not stop
there. Mr.. Bryan helped to draw. and he
voted for. the Wilson bill, and Mr.. Cleve-
land tried to force it in it's original form
through the Senate. And it now turns out
that they were over a hundred million dol
lars shy of what the situation called for.
This blow falls more heavily on Mr.. Bryan
than on Mr.. Cleveland. The former set up
for great authority on the tariff question.
The latter had. as far back as 1884, con-
fessed that he did not know blessed thing
about the tariff-only he used very diff
ferent word from blessed. AS to Mr.. Cleve-
land. therefore, it only appears that be-
tween 1884 and 1894 he had made no pro-
gress in that line of his studies.

The German Boom.

An interview with ex-senator Jones of
Arkansas, which appeared in print last
week. has deservedly attracted good deal
of attention. While Mr. Jones failed of re-
election to the Senate he is by no means
out of politics. and we shall probably hear
from him in the campaign of 1904 Unless
he resigns he will remain chairman of the
democratic national committee until after
the next presidential candidate of the de-
mocracy has been chosen For something
in close touch with the national organiza-
of views that take place and noting, in a
position of advantage, the general drift of
things
AS an experienced politician. Mr.. Jones,
in his public deliverances. holds a hopeful
tone. He thinks his party has a chance to
win next year. and he speaks with respect
and good will of number of men whose
names figure in the speculation about the
party's leadership. Clearly, however his
'favorite is Mr.. German. And naturally
The two men have long been friends: they
sat side by side for years in the Senate.
and, if Mr.. Bryan had been willing to take
the advice of Mr.. Jones, Mr.. German for
all his objection to the Chicago platform,
would have assisted In the campaign of
1896. There are democrats. too, who be-
lieve that Mr.. Bryan would have profited
by that assistance.
Hear Mr.. Jones on the subject of his
friend and next years nominations:
IF nominated. Mr.. German would make
q strong candidate. His nomination how
ever, win be opposed In the convention on

that it is harder for them to turn an illegal
trick here than in any other city in the
United States.
Even Mr.. Grosser, according to the dis
patches, acknowledges that his bare net
results do not warrant the assumption that
Washington is the wickedest city in the
United States, for it is stated that he con-
cedes that the percentages are against Chi
cago in the matter of arrests for murder,
robbery, burglary. larceny. forgery. aggra-
vated assault. malicious mischief. immoral
ity, violations of ordinances and other Of
lenses, but he shows that New York has
the greater percentage of persons charged
with assault and battery. intoxication and
disorderly conduct, vagrancy and being
suspicious"
Then in the name of statistics, in what
respect are Washington and Buffalo more
wicked than Chicago and New York? What
awful crimes are here committed in such
percentage as to cause the capital to lead
the line? Are we the champion incen-
diaries and anarchists or crap-shooters
and speed-law violators? Washington-and
doubtless Buffalo likewise-will expect par
ticulars.

The Street Car Doors.

If the street cars OF Washington were all
through-trip conveyances, that is. taking
passengers on at one point to carry them
all to the terminal. there would be no diff
Guilty whatever about managing them with
rear doors only. But the majority of pas
sengers enter and leave the car between
terminals A large percentage of those first
il alight before the end of the line is
reached and these passengers must fight
their way to the door against the pressure
of the passengers who have been taken on
over the seating capacity and who are rid
ing to a more distant point. One conse-
CuenCe of this is that with the front door
closed throughout the ride the wary early
passenger takes seat close to the door, or
finding the seats taken and intending to get
off before the end of the line is reached, he
refuses to move forward" knowing that
if he does and is followed by the crowd
he will have hard work to get out So he
holds back and seemingly acts without re-
gard for the comfort or the rights of others
and becomes the target for unkind remarks
and for the brusaue commands of the con-
ductor.
1t is evident from the experiences of the
past few weeks on the lines which keep the
front doors closed-and they practically in
tiute the eitlIe lOCdl traction system now
that some measure of relief must be adopt
ed at once. Passengers cannot be forcibly
taken by the shoulders and showed forward
in the aisles of the cars. nor can they be
hustled off the platforms where they prefer
10 stand to get the fresh air or to smoke.
Moral suasion alone can be brought to bear
on them. and in view of the intolerable con-
dition attending passage in the interior of
the car when one wishes to leave ahead Of
the crowd. these platform riders cannot be
justly criticised for their stubbornness
Two remedies are at hand to cure the trou-
BILE: More cars with front en-
frances which will not admit the people to
the motormans working space. In fact
both remedies can be proftably applied to-
day on practically all Of the local lines
which suffer severely at times from con-
Gestion. Washington should not be per-
mtted to fall behind in the matter of trans
portation equipment nor should it allow the
accommodations to become antiquated. Yet
accommodations which do not accommo-
date. because of a fear on the part of di-
rectors and managers that prosecutions
may follow accidents. are assuredly made
quate and out of date.

Roosevelt and HerrickP

Myron T. Herrick seems to be slated for
the republican nomination for governor of
Ohio this year. His neighbor, Mr.. Hanna,
Is for him. and George B. Cox, the strong
man at the other end of the state, is for
him. This, 1t is thought, settles the matter.
Things continue very favorable for the re-
publicans. Gov. Nash is giving satisfac-
ton, and at the spring elections the cities
and towns, as a rule, gave republican ma
jorities. Mr.. Herrick and Mr.. Hanna, it is
true, were unable to carry Cleveland but
conditions there are somewhat exceptional.
Tom Johnson is working out some policies
which, while popular, are purely local, and
they are not expected to influence the sit
uatiOn in the slightest in the state race. So
that there seem reasonable grounds for
believing that Mr.. Herrick will be the next
governor of the buckeye commonwealth.
Let us suppose case Suppose Mr.. Her.
rick does succeed Gov. Nash. and by a
handsome majority. Would the victory
give him prestige for promotion? Would
sentiment spring up in favor of his nomi-
nation for Vice President next year? He is
successful man of business He was
warm personal friend of William Mckinley.
He is warm personal friend Of Mr.. Hanna.
He is not stranger to the country. His
name has been, on more tnan one OCCASION,
respectfully mentioned for high diplomatic
honors. If, then, there should be added to
all this a successful race for the first office
in the gift of his home people, would Mr..
Herrick be considered as having attained
to the height of vice presidential timber?
Other names are mentioned. The Star
yesterday printed some interesting gossip
on the subject, gathered by gentleman
who has just returned from trip through
the northwest. The people out there are
talking about Gov. Cummins, Gov. Van
SAINT and Gov. Lafollette for the second
place on the next republican national ticket.
All three are strong and attractive men.
But two of them are prominent in factional
fighting at home, while the third. Gov Van
SAINT has achieved distinction only on the
trust issue. That issue the President him
self stands for pretty thoroughly.
Mr. Herrck Is on the order of MIR. Ho-
bart who brought considerable strength to
his party in 1896, and made capital OFF,
cial. Would the ticket of Roosevelt and
Herrick run as we'll as did that of Mckin-
ley and Hobart? And would Mr. Hanna
again manage the campaign for the repub-
licans? He conducted the campaigns of
1896 and 1900 on the score of personal
friendship for Mr.. Mckinley. and his rela-
lions with Mr.. Herrick are almost as close.
