The Lobby Investigation

The affectation that in an attempt
to clear the Legislature of the pest1lent
lobbyists who infest the State House
at Trenton the reformers "would be at
a loss to distinguish between a lobby
ist' and any other person making a
legitimate effort to secure the passage
of some pending measure in the Legis-
lature" deceives nobody. 1t is farcical
to say that all persons who happen in
Trenton on legislative matters are lob
byists. These assertions pitifully beg
the question.
Veteran newspaper correspondents
at Trenton can give a lit of the bona
fide lobbyists. Veteran Legislators
know them personally and by reputa-
ton. Governor Stokes could round up
and brand the whole lot. These men
are familiary known, and their meth
DDS and practices are the talk of every
session. They appear at Trenton regu-
larly every year and make no secret of
their business.
The scandal is that the lobbyists are
given a freedom aud privileges not ac-
corded to others. They invade the
floor of the Senate and Assembly, they
haunt the committee rooms, they oc-
cupy the State offices for their furtive
business, and they are permitted to
call out members and instruct them or
hector them, as the case may be. The
consideration given to professional loo-
byists is a standing reproach to the
law-making power of the State.
The lobbyist is never in the service
of the public. He is always the enemy
of the public interests. The Newark
Common Council sends a committee to
Trenton at every legislative session to
watch lobby schemes and fight the
lobbyist, and other municipalities do
annual expense to Newark's taxpayers,
who also suffer the effects of lobby
legislation. 1t is time to put a check
on this evil, and Assemblyman Col
by's committee to investigate in other
States the ways and means of dealing
with lobby and lobbyists can do a
valuable service for the State.
If no money can be obtained from
State sources to pay the expenses of
the lobby committee, enough will be
readily subscribed by civic bodies and
observation-disclosures Advertiser.

Forget About Your Stomach.

If your digestion is bad the vital organs

We suggest that those matters which
are of general interest that are referred
to in the Governors inaugural, are
proper subjects for consideration and
discussion in your several organiza-
tons, in order that a wider knowledge
of and a more intelligent interest in
our State affairs may prevail, and that
the farmers of the State may cooperate
with the Governor, the Legislature
and all good citizens for such manage
ment of our affairs as will popularize
our State and be a credit to our people.

Electric Waves,

Electric waves measured by Hertz
and named after him-were found by
the great scientist to be $50 feet from
the top of one wave to the top of the
next. The waves used by Marconi in
telegraphing across the Atlantic are
much longer. They are said to be 600
feet or more. They travel at the same
speed as light, 1874, 900 miles a second.
But the light wave measures only a

TOO MANY CATS.
Or. Hodge Says They Cause
Scarcity of Song Birds.

Worcester. Mass, Dec. 23--According to DIT
slfton f, Hodge, head of the biological depart
nent of Clark University crusade against cats
has begun which is to sweep the entire
country and put all pussies behind wires. The
women of Worcester have met this statement
with the declaration that they will organize cat
clubs and do everything in their power to prove
the worth of their pets. To support his theory
DR.. Hodge points out that the cat is chiefly re-
sponsble for the determination of song BIRDS
ard that it is useless to organize Audubon So
eieties and impose fines for shooting song birds
shen cats are allowed to run loose and kill as
r1any they please
'gThis country is overrun with CATS says DR..
Hodge, emphatically, land where they are thick
EST there is almost an utter dearth of birds. In
travelling about I've taken pains to inquire as
D the cat and bird question, and have always
Sund the same answer: Lots of cats and few
3irds'"
Dr. Hodge is feeling particularly bitter just at
present because the work of two years has been
swept away by the poisoning of his partridges
He had succeeded In domesticating them, and
had four fine birds which were the pets of his
family. One day recently he went out to the
cage to find them dropping and spiritless, and on
investigation acorns treated with arsenic were
found in their cage While this deed is not laid
directly to the cat lovers. 1t is generally con-
ceded that the bitterness aroused against DR..
Hodge because of his crusade against cats is
probably responsible for the death of his birds.
'I did not dare tell my children at first said
DR. Hodge, for they fond of the birds
and found them ideal pets But" he continued
phiIosophically, 'ff this deed results in war
against the feline tribe all the country
shall feel as If the sacrifice were worth while.
And 1 think it will result for men of science,
sportsmen and lovers of nature everywhere were
interested in my experiment"
The cat question has almost amounted to a
feud in Worcester The war began when DR..
Hodge, finding that cats were killing his par
trfdges, set traps baited with catnip for the ma
rauders. His victims he chloroforrned and then
cremated. There chorus of feminine

God who hears me when talk to Him"
So saying, she hastily singled out the right
key, for she had taken careful note of il many
times, and had hated the slender thing which
had shut her away from happiness and the peace
and freedom of childhood. Into the lock it went
o, joy! it turned as easily as if it were glad to
set the tiny prisoner free.
There was not a moment to Iose-the old man
might return at any time. Trembling with fear,
she crept like a hunted thing down the rfckety,
foul smelling stairway. \ rat scurried under
her feet and she almost tainted with fright
She lived a lifetime until her sandaIIed feet
touched the last step, and she emerged into the
pure, Untainted air of freedom. She could feel
that there was something unusual in the air, but
did not know it was Christmas Eve It was all
so bright and pretty, Dut she could not stop now
to see it, for she realized that she must get out
of the Chinese quarter her cruel master
might find her; she kept straight on down
one street, and walked and walked past gay
Chinese shops, rich with Oriental treasures
which appealed to the American people, and
which would help to beautify many an American

the huge joss lanterns. with their long beck
oning rays of light; past the shuttered and
barred doors of underground homes, where she
could catch glimpses of other poor slaves and

night wind cold and she was tired for she
was not accustomed to walking in the streets.
She was out of Chinatown now. and instead Of
the smell of incense and opium something de-
hghtful assailed her nostrIs. She looked up and
saw that there were men on some Of the street
corners, and they were selling great punches Of
violets, while from these violets came q delight

And so the heather child was led and guided

DR. Hodge stoutly maintains that cat is
wild animal and it should be confined in a cage
as are other wild animals and he has been
backed up in this by judge of the police court.
The doctors assistant hailed into court for
cruelty to animals, because a stone had been
thrown at a cat that had been making. periodic
visits to the partridge cage. The judge ruled
that a cat was wild animal and should be

and the funniest part of it is that women who
have come here to claim their pets have not

much of their cats I should think they would
know them anywhere"
DR.. Hodges grounds afford a paradise for
birds He has birdhouses in every conceivable
place; he has planted shrubs of which they are
particularly fond; he has erected a bird foun-
tain which is partly concealed by shrubbery
and which is so elevated that the birds may
drink there without fear from cats. Gradually
he has coaxed all sorts Of birds to become the
pets of his family and particularly of his chill
dren, who have tanned more than one bird, es-
pecially robins But every once in a while a
tragedy happens in the garden There is a shrill
bird scream, a rush to the rescue the part
of some member of the family, a cat sneaks off,
and a bird lies dead on the ground. Every time
a tragedy occurs antagonism for the cat grows
stronger.
The stanchest supporter of the cat IN this city
Is Mrs N II. Sherman. She raises blooded cats
and all of her pussies have pedigree But she
has also a warm spot In her heart for the

THE CHRISTMAS STAR.
Ho5U the Chinese Child Was Guided
to Freedom.
JESSIE JULIET KNOX.

Christmas Eve brought happiness to Louey
Ching. Nothing had brought any real hap
piness to her, for she little Chinese slave
girl in the city of San Francisco and was not
supposed to indulge in the infantile luxury
known as happiness.
One need only to have glanced at the cruel
face of the old highbinder who owned her. and
the shrewd shifting eyes to know that he would
not willingly have conferred happiness upon
any one. To him happiness meant the buying
and selling of pretty little tea rose maidens and
getting good price for them.
So dazed was the little slave with the many
undeserved beatings and cruel words she had
received that she seemed to be conscious of only
one thing. and that that she longed to get
away from it all, But how could she get away
when the front door always kept locked and
the back door only led to some dark steps
going up to the roof? 1t seemed to her the only
way would be to go up and jump off the roof.
She ran up the steps one day and peered over
the edge of the fiat roof which had a railing
round it, just to picture how it would be to
jump off, but her lingering gaze brought into
focus such a earth that it seemed a pity to
end it all when there was such a beautiful
world as that below. if only she could get to it,
And now she dimly remembered of once hear
ing that there was a ''Melican joss" who would
answer ones petitions when the idols failed
Why had this idea never come into her mind
before? She would appeal to this new Joss"
and the sooner the better; so, lying fiat her
little stomach, she cried aloud and said: Let
go into the new world. Let me not be beaten
any morei" and after that she felt more content.
When she came downstairs and into the long,
narrow Chinese room, with its meagre and dirty
furnishings she felt almost happy for in her
little heather heart was the faith of child.
1t growing dark. She must set fresh
food before the Chinese gods and attend to her
many duties, far too heavy for a child who at
her age should be at play. She must-why, what
was it that made her heart almost stop beating,
her face grow pale and her eyes go wide with
pleased surprise? She had stepped some
thing-it was that something which made
her think that her prayer was going to be
answered. 1t was the bunch of keys, which had
never before to her knowledge left the keep |
ing of the old highbinder who owned her. In
her small hand she now held freedom.
He had gone and locked the door with the |
spring lock and had rgotten the keys. 1t was |
almost too good to be true. The door was
locked and she had the key to that lock.
"Oh, thank you, thank you. beautiful God!" |
she hysterically repeated aloud. and realizing |
she had not a moment to waste she cast hur-
ried glance at the room with its scanty furnish
ings and said: Il hate you prison walls! hate
