You're placed to rum
These are the nights the ghost must walk
You can't but run.
We long have pined for such a man
To lead us in the civic fight,
To face corruption's venal clan
And bear aloft the flag of right.

You'll bravely runl

A LEGISLATORS DUTIES.

u REPRESENTATIVES LYONS OF
N Lewes has had the same PROPOSE
tion to meet that has confronted Mr..
Denney and other members OF the Leg
islature. A number OF his constituents
have signed a petition demanding that
ne support Addicks FOR Senator.
In effect Mr.. Lyons replies that he
proposes to do as he thinks best, no
matter how many petitions they may
send him.
Now as an abstract question, what is
a member OF the General Assembly or
OF Congress required TO do when his
constituents demand one thing and his
judgment approves another?
In the first place. Mr.. Lyons has been
chosen by that constituency; presum.
ably. because they were willing to trusi
his judgment; and in the second place
Mr.. Lyons has taken a solemn oath
and they have not.
But does an election as a representa-,
tive Of the people contemplate the ute
effacement of a mans individuality am
tho giving up OF the right to form hi
own judgments? We don't like sucl
doctrine.
We are opposed TO this idea whlcl
prevails In most legislative bodies an

LITERARY

Golfers for February 25 strikes at
a fundamental issue in the railroad
rate controversy when it refers to the
pass evil by saying: THE anti-pass
movement, now headed by Mr.. Folk,
and spreading all over the country,
is one in which Mr.. Roosevelt should
take an interest, as his personal
breaches of the anti-pass law hereto
fore have weakened his position. A
new Senator from California announces
that he will resign the attorneyship
OF all corporations for which he Is
counsel, and accept no employment
from railways or other corporations
while he Is in the Senate. If all
Senators and other Government officials
acted as Mr.. Flint declares he intends
to act, the peoples demand for Govern
ment interference with private enter
prises might be less extreme. 1t might
then be possible to extirpate abuses
without stepping toward Socialism. II
may be possible, even under conditions
as they are, 10 make the conduct OF
railroads satisfactory to reasonable
people without removing them from the
field of private enterprise"

the course and preliminary education
required TO secure this degree2
These are pertinent and proper ques-
tions now that this one man proposes
With his lawyers to hold up a temperate
and proper medical bill. solely in his
own interests.
one Of his lawyers said yesterday
+hat It should be entitled a bill to de-
s;roy this mnn's business Indeed
Which does Mr.. DAILY regard as of
greater Importance. the general protec-
tion OF the people by shutting out the
possibility Of quackery. or the protec-
tion of this "Opthalmic College,"
This very objection shows the impera-
tive need of the new bill. 1t is an in
suit to the vast body Of sSlilful physl-
clans who have studied for years in
order to equip themselves for medical
practice, and who deserve well at our
hands. to allow persons who have taken
course of few weeks in fitting
glasses to set up IN the various COM
munities as Doctors Of Refraction.' %
The chances are that "refraction" gets
los: in the scramble, while doctor
remains.
Surely our legislators are not going
to be influenced by the motives at work
to kill this bill.

commeree in Criminals.

From the Cincinnati Commerclai Tribune
Afavor Mcclellan has discovered and an
nounced the saving plan for New YORK ih
the matter of criminals. He proposes 10
deport them to a point beyound the limits
of the city, with caution never TO re-
turn because return would mean a term
In prison. The plan OF the Mayor Of New
York is not new. 4, is not even unique.
,r,n,e was when the Chiefs Of Police OF
Cincinnati, Covington and Newport oper-
ated under "a like plan and believed II was
working admirably a criminal arrested
i'm Cincinnati would be taken to the sus-
pension Bridge. where his fare was PAID
and a booting warned him of the dangers
of return
Upon planting his tired feet upon the
sncred soil OF Kentucky-or so muci
thereof as may be contained within the
limits of Covlngton-he was promptly COZ
Jared. taken to the bridge that spans the
Licking between Covington and Newport
and booted across TO the latter city
where he was again arrested and booted
across one of the upper bridges until again
the sacred soil of Ohio was reached. And
that which was done with criminals In

Newport. wherever the criminal might bg
caught. and the bootng was either from
the south or from the north side of the
Ohio or from the east to the west bank
of the Licking. But, no matter in which
city the booting began. the interstate
trafnc in criminals was lively while il
lasted, with the advantage to the crimi'
mai that he was reasonably certain OF two
days feed during the process.
The plan is now more honored in tho
breach than in the observance, for ii
dawned on the municipal minds of the
three cities that the process was eXpen-
slve and involved a large wear and teal
OF boot leather. The substitution Of q
term In the works of the cities involved
worked much better In addition to thai
/ fact no city has the right to turn loos'

munities for predatory purposes or for tn
purpose of Riding her own people from

PRAYER AND WORK.

THE ministers and the women OF
4 Philadelphia, alarmed at the evil con-
ditions which obtain them. are resort
ing to prayer Mayor Weaver being
made the special subject Of their in
tercessions. We can only indulge the
hope that their petitions may be an
swered but we suspect that IL the mir
acle OF reform is ever realized in Phil
adelphia these good people will have
to make evident by their conduct that
they are willing to play the part Of men,
and do battle like men.
We hear a great deal about stuffed
ballot boxes and repeaters, but that
does not explain the election returns
fully. We must also believe that many
thousands Of good" people are either
too indolent to vote. or that they
haven't the determination to see that
their votes are counted.
Without attempting to expound the
ology, we have an impression that as
long as men fail in the performance
OF tasks that are rghtfully theirs and
which are in the scope OF their pow
ers. Heaven will not reward their in
dolence by coming to the rescue.
But the prayers Of these clergymen
may lead to greater zeal on their part:
this appeal for Divine aid may awaken
the sense OF manhood that appears ia
be slumbering in so many bosoms. But
as long as a free people desires IL
Durham for their sovereign. we have
an impression that their sovereign viii
be IL. Durham.
