North Jersey wants a constitutional
convention in order to have State Sena-
tors elected by districts instead of each
county having a Senator as now. Under
districts three or four counties in South
Jersey would elect only n Senator.
No interest in the State is now suffer-
ing from the county representation.

Cold Wave Coming

If you have Rydales Elixir in the house
when a cold wave is coming, you need not
fear attacks of Bronchitis, Pneumonia,
Cough, Colds, etc. Rydales Elixir taken
when attack begins never fails to check the

,aIgemenG of the powers of the Inter
state Commerce Commission and such
restrictions and guarantees in the con
trol OF railroads as will protect the peo-
pie from robbery and oppression.
In the last message to Congress Presi-
dent Roosevelt said:
The government must in increasing
degree supervise and regulate the work
lngs OF the railways engaged in inter-
state commerce, and such increased
supervision is the only alternate to an
increase of the present evils on the one
hand OF a still more radical policy on
the other. In my judgment the most
important legislative act He% needed
as regards the of corpora
LIONS astes1s act to confer on the Inter-
state Commerce Commission the power
to revise rates and regulations the re-
vised rate to go at once into effect, and
to stay in effect unless and until the
court of review reverses it. Steamship
companies engaged in interstate COM
merce and protected in our coastwise
trade should be held to a strict obser-
vance of the Interstate Commerce act.
How very similar are the Democratic
party's declaration in 1896 and Presi-
dent R~oosevelt's argument to Congress
in relation to ali enlargement of the
powers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
We suppose that all of those faithful
who, in 1896, denounced every declara-
ton of the Democratic national plat
form, and not merely the free silver
coinage plank, will now insist that
President Roosevelt's course in advo-
eating an enlargement of the powers of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
is the only right and proper course for a
President to take.
Which shows what radical CONVEX
sions politics can effect in this country.

TRAFFICKING IN GIRLS
HEAVY SENTENCES IMPOSED IN
 NEW YORK.
Judge McMahon, in Announcing Pun- ishment of Woman and Three Men, Says the Crime is Worse
 Than Murder.

New York, Nov. 2s-Punishment for trafickins in girls was meted out to- day by Judge McMahon, who passed sentences on one woman and three men for an aggregate of thirty-two years.
 This traffic" said the Judge, lis worse than murder"
 By coincidence at the time he was passing the sentences an example of the traffic of which he spoke with four girls from Reading, Pa. as the victims, had just been found by the police in another part of the city.
 These girls came to New York last Sunday, renting an apartment togeth- CT. They had been mill operatives in Reading, they said, and came here in hopes of securing work, which paid better.
 Today detectives saw them walking on the Bowery in company with four young men. Believing that the girls were not ordinary Bowery characters, the detectives followed them until the men led the girls into an evil resort. Following them the officers broke down the doors of their rooms and rescued the girls, who had been trapped into the resort and were calling for help. The men were arrested, charged with abduction.
 The prisoners whom Judge MacMa- bringing three girls to New York from Newark, N. J. One of the girls who was in court as a witness, is in such a condition that she is not expected to live. Two of the men received sem tences of ten years each, another got six years and six months, and the wo- man received five years and six months

SENATORIAL "HoODOO..
Burton Belongs to What is Called the

Burton Belongs to What is Called the
 "FntaI Successien."
 Kansas City. Mo. Special
 Is the Senatorial succession to which belongs Senator J. R. Burton cursed with ilI-tuck? Judging from the his tory of those who have occupied the same seat in the Senate since Kansas was made a State, it would seem that a bird of evil omen has spread its wings over nearly every one who has been of that succession. Senator ln- gals, who was of the other line, was impressed with the lucklessness of the seat, and frequently referred to 1t as the fatal succession"
 Burton belongs to the Lane success sion of Senators. That is, he is the last to be elected of the line of which James H. Lane was the first, he having been elected when. Kansas became a State, in 1861. Of the ten of that line, only one, P. B. Plumb. was man of whom Kansas had reeason to be justly proud.
 When Pomeroy and Lane were elected in 1861 they drew lots for the longer term. Lane drew the shorter one, and since then the "hoodoo" has been at work. Lane was reelected in 1865, but a year later committed suicide. Gov ernor Crawford appointed Edmond c. Ross to fill out the unexpired term. His days were full of trouble. Kansas loudly demanded the impeachment of President Johnson. Ross hesitated, and then voted against it. It cost him the election and he was cast aside. He is now a typesetter in New Mexico.
 Alexander Caldwell succeeded him. After holding office for two years, he was forced to resign. as his enemies threatened to bring charges against him for securing his seat corruptly unless he did so. The Governor appointed Judge Robert Crozier. He held office until the Legislature met. when he was defeated by James M Harvey, who was elected to fill out the unexpired term.
 Kansas did not warm up to Harvey, and he was defeated for reelection by P. B. Plumb in 1S7. In this third term. in 1891, he met a tragic death. Bishop w. Perkins was appointed to fill the vacancy until the Legislature met, then John Martin was elected
 In 1895 Lucien Baker was elected over J. R. Burton, after a bitter contest. At the next election the Legislature did not seem to approve Bakers official conduct, for before the final action was taken he withdrew, and Burton was elected without opposition.

from the President than any he has yet made
 The friends of ex-Governor B. B. Odell Jr., assert that J Van Vechten Olcott was agreed upon for chairman of the County Committee in Platt con- ference in the Gotham Hotel before Senator Platt went to Washington, and that they have the news at first hand from a representative of Mir. Oden who attended the meeting to report what took place there. They add that Mir. Olcott was selected by Lemuel E. Quigg as the representative of the traction interests after MT. Quigg had offered himself as candidate and his offer had been declined.
 According to this version, the Pres ident was quickly convinced that MT. Olcott represented the street railways, and he then sent for Governor Higgins and arranged to have Congressman Herbert Parsons become a candidate. The praise of MT. Parsons from Cover nor Higgins after the return of the Governor to Albany is cited in proof of these assertions.
 MT. Odell's actions in throwing his support to MT. Parsons is described by his adherents as the shrewdest po- litical move ever made, checkmating both the President and Senator Platt in their desire to get rid of him.
