THE THIRD HOUSE.

TT WILL be noticed that In every
l. Legislature there IS third
house" composed Of members Of the
bar-but very few lawyers-and certain
politicians who have degenerated into
lobbyists. Each member Of the third
house is supposed to have one or two
members Of the Legislature proper uu-
der his influence.
Therefore, when measure is pre-
scented which offers good inducements
TO the semi-attached meubers they
combine to force It through. The third
Mouse has no politics. and is as obN-
vlous to public needs as oysters out on
the st. Jones fats.
These members OF the bar" imagine
that they are practiclng law, but Il is
rather the practice Of iawlessness. One
OF them when he takes a fee from q
client asks no questions. but prose-
cutes the case without any question.
and why shouldn't he influence legis-
lation in the interest Of client in the
same way? This is the argument. II
is used very often. apd the State Is
the sufferer.
Legislatures would get along a great
deal better were these members O. the
bar to do like the iawyers-stay at
home and practice law.

SATURDAY. MARCH IS 1905.
No BALLOT REFORM.

II HE Every Evening speaks regret
4 fully Of the indifference OF the
members Of the Legislature towards
the bills aimed at better system Of
elections, and the repeal Of the voters
assistant act in particular. II admits
that the Democrats were apparently
as negligent and Indifferent as were
the Republicans
In this we agree with our contempo-
rary. Two years ago by strenuous ef-
forts the bill repeating the voters as
sistant act was forced through both
houses, but failed TO become a law be-
cause Governor HUM refused to sign
it.
Surely such a bill would have Jared
as we'll ip the Legislature just ad-
journed IL it had neen pushed; and cer-
tainly the last election showed no re-
duction OF the evils arising under the
present system.
But Il has become apparent that the
repeal OF the voters assistant act rs
not the only reform in our election laws
that is needed. The whole system re-
quires revision in order TO reduce the
expense and to make voting simpler
and fairer
There was an excellent opportunity
for the passage Of a general act provid-
ing for better and more honest election
machinery, and had such a measure
been intelligently and urgently pushed
Il would have brought forth an army
OF supporters.
But as IL happened. two or three bills
were presented and then put to rest
and forgotten; and we shall be obliged
10 endure the farce Of another election
under the old law.
We should have in this state a Re-
form Ballot League. composed OF men
who will pledge themselves to vote for
nobody for the Legislature who Will
not support a measure looking to an
honest and simple ballot.

II he Philadelphia Medical Society
4 az It's meeting on Wednesday
night last listened TO papers and dis
cussion on the alarming increase OF
pneumonia. Dr. Thomas Darlington,
Health Commissioner OF New York.
said that the prevention Of the disease
is one Of the most urgent problems
awaiting solution by the medical pro-
fession.
While there has been a decrease in
diseases throughout the United States
during the past year there has been a
large increase in pneumonia cases.
The Doctor states that the disease
can be communicated, that It leads
all other diseases in It's death rate and
while tuberculosis IN New York is
now steadily decreasing, pneumonia is
constantly Increasing.
A number OF Philadelphla's most
prominent doctors took part In the
discussion and the statement was made
that no disease is so treacherous as
pneumonia, and there is none in which
experience seems to work less toward
an advance in knowledge.
The medical profession, however. are
diligently searching FOR causes and
remedies. The commission appointed
by the city OF New York to study the
subject thoroughly are making tests Of
the air in public buildings. factories
trolleys, tenements, hospitals and pri-
vate houses--and they anticipate that
their Investigations viii throw mucl
new light on the subject and aid in
the effort TO use preventative measures
until such time as science shall be abl,
TO present the world with reliabl,
cure.

MANUFACTURING MAJoRITIEs.

THE Speaker Of the Pennsylvania
Il House Of Representatives has
made the rulings Of Speaker Reed ap-
pear like the work OF an amateur
With the assistance Of his clerks he is
able, not only to count a quorum, but
to manufacture a majority.
He viii not permit a correction OF a
roll-call, and even when members pro-
test that they have not voted as re-
corded they are called to order and
the record stands.
Thus a member under oath to per-
form his duty may have his vote re-
corded against his Judgment and his
conscience, and he is powerless.
BY these tactics, according to all re-
ports, a bill was pushed through the
House yesterday that lacked many
votes Of the requisite majority. The
people Of no other state would stand
az; but it happened to be a measure
