An Imperative DUTY.

One of the questions which Governor
Pennypacker in his inaugural message
asks the Legislature to act upon at its
present session is that of senatorial and
representatives eapportionment. 1t is a
matter of the utmost Importance and
the obligation to reapportion the State
is constitutional one.
1t has been put forward as an excuse
for the failure of former Legislatures to
perform this duty that it is not possible
to make senatorial reapportionment
in exact compliance with the constitu.
tional requirement. This is true, but
Governor Pennypacker argues this rea-
son away with the force of an opinion
from the bench. He says the Constitu-
tion ''must be interpreted like every
other written instrument, in such way
as to reconcile inconsistencies and carry
out the purposes which it was intended
to serve" and that such plans as will
"most closely approximate the requir-
ed result ought to be adopted"
The Governor thus sweeps away COM
pletely the only excuse that has ever
been offered for the repeated neglect of
the Legislature to obey the plain man
date of the Constitution. Further fail
ure to discharge its duty in this partic
ular would not be alone a continued
injustice to the people of the State, but
would amount to scandal and a rehec.
tion on the capacity of the Legislature.
The present senatorial apportionment
was made nearly thirty years ago, when
the population of the State was not
much more than one-half what it is
now. AS some sections have grown
rapidly in that time and others not at
all it can be readily understood that
there is disgraceful inequality in the
representation.
In the matter of representative APP
portionment the conditions are nearly
as bad. The present allotment of mem
bers to the several counties was made
on the census taken twenty three years
ago, when the population of the State
was 4, ,2s2,s9i. The population, accord
ing to the last census, was 6,302, lis.
Many counties are entitled to an addi.
tional number of members, some to less
1t is an indefensible wrong to the whole
State to allow this matter to be longer
neglected. Every member is sworn to
obey the Constitution, which requires
that there shall be Encouragement of
the districts every ten years, immediate
ly following each census.
Every Governor for years has pressed
the matter upon the Legislature with
out success. Governor Pennypacker
SHOWS much earnestness in his recon-
mendation, and 1t should not go unheed.
ed Ii would be entirely too humiIia
tug 70 suppose the Legislature il in
capable of performing this duty. -

Ask for What you Want.

What is worth having is worth
asking for. If you are merchant
and want more patrons ask for
them. If you want to increase
your business ask the people to help
you. They will accept the invita-
tion readily enough, all that is
needed is to extend the invitation
through the medium of newspaper
advertising.

VIII Substitute Nickel Rails.

The Pennsylvania railroad company
has decided to substitute nickel steel
rails on all the heavy curves for steel
rails now in use. For two wears the
company has been experimenting
with nickle steel on many of the heavy
curves in the Allegheny mountains.
These rails have been put in the up
grade track, and although the service
is not as heavy as it would be on the
down grade tracks there has always
been considerable wear on the standard
rails and stretches of new track have to
be replenished frequently. The nickel
steel rails that have been in service for
the past two years have given perfect
satisfaction. Orders have been placed
by the Pennsylvania for 5000 tons of
the new style rails at cost of STA ton
as against S2s ton for the standard
rails. They will be instituted first on
the eastbound tracks of the Pittsburp
division and eventually all over the
system.

Ginseng and Rattle snakes

grows one invariably finds rattlesnakes.
