at is dangerous for me to go to bed"
That announcement by a stylishly
dressed woman at the desk of the AL
bany Hotel office last night startled
William Maher, one of the proprietors,
who was standing at the counter.
What is the trouble?" asked Mr..
Maher, as soon as he recovered his
voice.
The room is filled with electricity"
replied the woman. IF walk across
the. floor and touch my face with my
hand there is a snap, and if / touch
the iron bed I get a shock Why, kind
sir. it's awful! Everything l touch
snaps! You might think I was some
electrical freak and belonged with
some show. But 1 am not. Honest,
never knew before that my system was
electrified!'
Where is your homer" asked Mr..
Maher.

therefore surcharged with electricity,
so that you in touching iron feel a
Slight shock and also a slight shock
when you walk across the carpet and
then touch anything with your hand or
shake hands with anybody. You'll get
over it in few days"
The woman went away mystified but
satisfied, and Mr.. Maher said:
Thats common complaint in every
hotel in town. Those of us who live
here will now and then feel an electric
shock by touching a conductor or when
walking over a carpet if we touch our
faces or shake hands, but we are not
as subjective to electrical influences as
those who come from sea level or from
places where the air is moist These
people, of course, are shocked easily,
ana as it is a new experience for
them they invariably believe that the
telephone or electric light wires are
crossed and that they are in danger
of electrocution
We had woman in this hotel last
week who was startled because when
she began to comb the hair of her
french poodle electric currents ran I'D
her arms. She thought that somebody
had been playing a joke on her dog,
and she was furious until 1 explained
to her the cause"

1T is hard to keep up with the

subsidized by means of giving them

that editors had been bribed by this

The Dodge-Morse divorce case, that
has already become. an interstate scan
dal. bids fair to furnish more sensa-
tons. The United States Supreme
Court has affirmed the order of the
District Court of Texas, in which state
Dodge now is. remanding him to the
jurisdiction of the New York courts,
where he is wanted to, answer to a
charge of perjury growing out of his
former wifes divorce suit. Dodge, who
was an Atlanta hotel man, it will be
recalled, swore that he had not been
served with the necessary papers in
connection with the divorce suit
brought by his wife, who subsequently
became the wife of Charles w. Morse.
If it were true that Dodge had not
been served with the papers in ques-
ton, then the divorce of Mrs. Dodge
and her subsequent marriage with
Morse would both have been illegal.
But, after Dodge had denied on oath
the service of the papers, it is alleged
to have been proven that they were
correctly served on and acknowledged
by him. Out of this condition grows
the charge of perjury. The whole case
has been unsavory. Dodge is now in
Texas, where he says he will remain,
at least until the mandate of the SUI
preme Court is received.

Those Northern newspapers, the
Philadelphia Ledger among others,
that have been talking about the "pQ-
litical aloofness" of the South, are sad-
vised to give some attention to the vote
of the state of North Carolina in the
recent national election. The official re-
turns show that for President. Parker
re 0eived 124,10S votes; Roosevelt, 49,
572; Swallow, 361; Watson, S19, and
Debs, 124. These figures show that the
vote for the Democratic presidential
candidate was fraction more than 50
per cent. of the vote cast. The re-
turns further show that Roosevelt, the
Republican candidate, carried twenty
two out of the ninety-seven counties of
the state. Can the Philadelphia Ledger
make any such showing as this of di-
vision in political public sentiment in
Pennsylvania? Facts like the forego-
ing tend to show that the South is far
more liberal in it's politics than some
of the states of the North.

COCHRAN'S CURIOSITY,

Is there any probability that the
curiosity of Representative Bourke
Cochran, of New York, relative to the
amount of money each of the political
parties spent in all presidential cam
paigns from 1892 to 1904, will be salts
fled?
His bill, introduced into Congress
on Monday, provides that commission,
composed of the senior associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court of the
United States, the Junior judge of the
Circuit Court of the United States for
the Third circuit, together with two
senator's and two representatives of
different political parties. shall be ap-
pointed to find out the amount of
foregoing elections. 6
During the recent presidential cam
paign Mr.. Cochran stated that he would
introduce such bill He gave no
special reason, but it was known the
reason was the enormous campaign
fund the Republicans were reported to
. have. 1t was stated that they had
all the money they wanted for all sorts
of purposes, and that they had $40O, 900
after all bills were paid. The impress
sion was, during the campaign, that
the great corporations and trusts had
determined to keep the Republican par
ty in control of the government, and
were willing and ready to put up the
money for that purpose.
If Mr.. Cockran's bill should become
a law the commission would perhaps
find some difficulty in getting the facts.
Doubtless the records of campaigns
prior to the recent one have been de-
stroyed. but if they haven't a COM
mission wouldn't find it easy to get
access to them. if there should be a
disposition to withhold them.
But the bill, if it should be passed,
would afford the opportunity of calling
the attention of the country to the
evils of the use of money in enormous
quantities in presidential campaign.
The trusts and great corporations could
| come very near turning an election
whichever way they pleased.
| The bill is timely one, and may
lead to legislation limiting the amount
of money a political party may use
in presidential campaign. Such legis-
lation would be in the right direction.
New York has a law which requires
candidates and party managers to
make statements of the amount of
money they spent in their campaigns.
