The Odd Congress.

We accustomed to speak of the long and the
short sessions of congress- and anticipate that
more will be accomplished in the first session, which
begins in December in odd numbered years as is the
with the session which has Just begun says Youth
Companion But it is not usually recognized that the
hrs session OF the odd numbered congress is pro-
ductive of legislation than the corresponding session
numbered congressesthe present congress, il
be remembered, is the fifty NINTH is odd numbered
There two reasons for this. Two years ago the
presidential election pending. Two years hence
another national canvass will be in prospect At
times both parties tmid, risk as little as possi-
BILE. Moreover the house elected the day that
the presidential electors chosen is usually of
same political party the administration That elected
midway in the term is often carried by the opposition
IT, for example, the democrats should carry the house
next November the present session would prove the
only one of this administration which the republicans
could have complete power except for the
beginning month after that political oyerturn had taken
place.
1t therefore happens that in many administration
congress has passed in the session corresponding
present one most of the important measures which
ingush that administration. In any event therefore
this is the most favorable opportunity constructive
measures that will between 4th of years

BOYS GOT DRUNK
ON QUART OF WHISKEY
Did II For a Christmas Lark.
Ira Ritter Arrested For
Selling the Booze.
HEARING BEFORE JUSTICE CHAVES

Ira Ritter, connected with the Bad
aracco Summer Garden, a saloon To-
Gated on the Mountain Road, has been
arrested for selling liquor 20 a minor.
The warrant was Served on him yes
terday, and herein lies an interesting
tale. Four boys are the important
actors and their performance took
place on Christmas day. The parents
of the youngsters have formed the
opinion that on this particular occa-
sion, their sons were bad actors. but
concentrate their adverse criticism,
for the most part on Ira Ritter, who
they think is largely to blame for
what happened. It might be said
right here that something shocking
did happen, for not long after an al
legged visit by the boys to the Bada-
racco saloon, there were three badly
intoxicated lads and another who felt
pretty good
When James Boylan, Clarke Phil
lips, Marian Dye and Charles Cobb,
all Ia years old, met on Christmas day,
they decided to play a joke on mama.
like, 1t occurred TO them that If
some whisky could be procured,
enough could be drank to induce
mother TO think they were drunk.
Over to Badaracco's Summer Garden
all hied. A collection was taken
among themselves and young Boylan
selected to buy the booze. 1t is al
legged that Boylan entered the saloon
and asked the bartender for a quart
of whisky and that the bartender
called Ritter over and had him wait
on Boylan. IL is further claimed that
Ritter sold Boylap a quart of whisky
Boylan drank little of the liquor,
one of the fathers of the lads inform
ed an Evening Citizen reporter, but
not to the extent that the other three
Gid, for he claims, they got pretty
well under its influence. The parents
Of the boys became acquainted with
the condition of their sons and the ar
rest of Ritter followed.
1t received the attention of Justice
of the Peace Chaves in Old Albuquer-
que this afternoon. Ritter denied the
charge and a warm hearing ensued.

HOW THE SWISS VOTE.
Hymns Are Sung and Then Hands Are
Held Up.

FROM the ChurchInan.
In contrast with the complicated ballots
and election laws of this country is the
simplest of all voting systems, still prac-
ticed In Switzerland by the showing OF
hands Sometimes more than 10000 people
are gathered In the big market place. Some
of the men have come twenty or thirty miles
to vote; for every man of voting age is
fined IL he does not report at the voting
place. The ceremony In the election de-
scribed began with solemn march of the
dignitaries from the house where they had
been waiting to the platform. Then fol-
lowed the singing of the Appenzell hymns
and the long address by the landmann, dur
Ing which every man removed his hat. After
the address there was silent prayer or
half minute, and then the voting began.
The men to be voted for happened to be
the officers who had already served, and
who were up for reelection. The name of
each candidate was called out by the sheriff
In a voice that was almost If not quite a
roar. Then came the question, VIII you
replace him.? No one moved, but at the
question, VIII you confirm him?' sea of
hands went up on the instant; and SO 1t was
in every case. Such absolute unanimity was
refreshing to see Apparently there was no
division into parties The people knew
their men and knew what they wanted. The
vote was unanimous for each man, but one
of the Judges had died in October and his
place was to be filled; so after the others
had been confirmed the landmann called
for nominations from the crowd. Every man
has the right to nominate any one he
pleases who Is a citizen and resident OF the
canton. So from out the crowd one heard
names called
when some half dozen names had been
chosen they were read aloud and proposed
for vote. one by one At each name there
came sprinkling of hands over the crowd
till the name arrived that the majority of
the crowd had evidently fixed upon, and
then came the same unmistakable upraising

WISCONSIN CENTRAL.
What the Boston Capitalists Propose
TO Do With the Road 49,

1t was the Boston people who built
the Wisconsin Central railroad, says the
Wall Street Journal, and it was Boston
brains that managed it for years, until,
fought on every side by the big railroad
combinations, it was forced into the
hands of receivers during the period OF
hard times. When reorganized, Boston
interests were forced out of tho man
agement and New York secured the
property.
About six months ago, Boston cap
ital, seeking Investment, again became
interested in the greRey and STICK
until only a few weeks ago actual con
troll was secured. The Boston interests
that were largely responsible for the
putting together Of the old Flint &
Pere Marquette and other Michigan
roads as the Pere Marquette sys-
TEN, and later on put that prop
erty into the Cincinnati, Hamilton
& Dayton, which has just been
sold to the Erie, are now in con
troll of the Wisconsin Central and plans
are being laid for refinancing of the
company and the making Of that roao
strong and powerful railroad com
bination.
At present the Wisconsin Central
operates about a thousand miles OF
railroad, practically all in the state OF
Wisconsin, the exception being line
into Chicago and in the northwest into
Minneapolis and St. Louis. Its north
ern terminus is Ashland, Wis, and il
has an important line to Manitowoc
where it sends it's eastbound freight by
ferry to a connection with the Pere
Marquette, and this is a vast and grow
ing business.
The new interests in. Wisconsin Cen
trail are planning to double their pres
ent mileage.
