Current Press Comment.
ChurchiII,s Canvass.

Winston Churchill's New Hampshire
canvass is one OF the most remarkable
events in the history OF American poll
tics. For young man with but the
slightest political experience to go into
boss.ridden and railroad-owned state,
announce his candidacy for governor,
and conduct campaign which at first
amused, but rapidly terrified the republi.
can managers. compelling them to put
his ideas into their platform, and failing
to get the nomination by only few
votes, is an extraordinary achievement.
1t shows the power of bold and honest
leadership. Mr.. Churchill may we'll say
to the regular republicans whom he came
so near Debating: You are in office,
but am in power" During the next
year he will be in a position to compel
the party to keep the pledges which it
made under duress. He will be sort OF
a peoples lobby" OF his own, to let New
Hampshire know whether the pass sys.
TEN is abolished, the railroad lobby
shorn OF its power, taxation reformed,
and the direct primary granted. Failing
these reforms. Mr.. Churchill will be able
to press his candidacy again and irressti'
bly,. Even as it is the flashing of his Car
vel swo I'd has put the enemy to flight,
infused new spirit into New Hampshire
politics, and cheered on those who are
fighting the same battle elsewhere. The
brilliant exploit of this amateur in poll
tics gives the lie to those who assert
that all is fat, stale, weary and unpro6t.
able in the political world, and that
nothing ever happens New York

RepresentaIive-Klec HRpgOOd's Plan
TO Avoid Rush Liquidation.

@69&$CSAVAAS ~ AS0 w
Representa,ive-EIect HapgoOd's Plan
TO Avoid Rush Legislation.
The matter of adopting some measure
that will curtail our legislation, and
better ensure only sound, practical laws,
simple, plain. and universal in applica-
ton, has not only become pressing
need, but has reached the stage ofgene.
raj interest to the press and people OF
the state.
its need is beyond question; seemingly
the only question for consideration is the
method to be used. Three plans have
already been proposed, that of district
representation, selecting only the best
fitted for representatives, and returning
to annual sessions, but it is useless. just
now, to discuss the merits OF either, since
no one OF them could be applicable to the
operations of the. present legislature,
whose members are already elected for a
single regular session only.
However another plan has been pro-
posed which could only apply to present
use, and one so simple and, apparently,
effective, mourning little, or no extra ex-
pense, beyond what has often occurred,
that it seems worthy Of discussion, at
least, il not of adoption.
1t is the plan OF deferring the final pas
sage OF bills. that have passed the three
readings in regular procedure, to an
adjourned session, held as such time as
may be determined upon-the members,
of course, to draw no pay for the inter-
vening time, and the adjourned session
to be devoted entirely to matters already
passed upon.
The plan is so simple, that it requires
no further elimination for its full under
standing. It would need for adoption,
only a Joint rule of two houses. Its
peculiar advantages are these:
The entire elimination OF rush" legis.
lation during the last week. Upon this
point no argument is needed.
Due opportunity for the people and
the press to discuss, inspect, ventilate,
and advise. in regard to proposed laws,
before their final doption.-making the
measure virtual referendum.
The probable rejection, on account OF
elaboration, OF large number OF bilis
that would otherwise pass.
The probable curtailment in the num-
Der OF bills introduced, since members
wonld naturally shrink from having
their names connected with doubtful
measures that must stand this pressure.
With the undisputed fact before us
that large percentage of the four hun
bred laws passed at the last session
would fail to stand against deliberations
of this kind,-with the admission that
scores of useless laws are today upon our
statute books as the result of last ses
sion's lack of due care and considera
tion,-laws not only harmful Of them
selves, but which poison those which
would otherwise, be more effective how
can we fail to be wide awake to thu
necessity of prompt, effective measures o
relief OF some sort ?As any such measures
would require adoption at the beginning
of the session, there is urgent need fo
their immediate consideration and dis
cussion.

1t is gratifying to know that there is
no unseemly contest for chaplain of the
next House which convenes at Mont
pelier next week, and in view of that
fact it would be fitting recognition Of
the faithful services OF young Vermont

son the next chaplain. Mr.. Patterson
comes of excellent stock, his father hav-

Preferred a Pick to a Priest.
Peru, Sept. 18.

The American magazine for October
contains a story, Ladies Day in Car.

derful pictures OF feelings that are expert
enced by persons imprisoned in mine.
Some OF the revelations of character are
really human documents on emotion.
For example, one of the women,
weeping, addressed huge Lithuanian
miner named Mikol as follows: II am
afraid to die, Mikol. l am not fit for
Paradise. wish we had a priest" But
Mikol, with characteristic GOODNESS,
made answer: II wish l had a pick,
rather. 1t would be more use. 1t is not
that am afraid of dying, nor that am
anxious about paradise. Only I love
living. do not speak against holy
things, Christ forbid it but life is what
l want. My life and yours.

She Says Manila 10 Gay and Gaddy.
Miss Annie Louise Ide has been at
Chicago the past week and while there
was interviewed by one of the papers.
She announced that her wedding to
Congressman Cochran would take place
early in November, although" she said,
~ am afraid to say have plan at all,
for every plan have made has gone
wrong" OF life in Manila she said,
1.-THE only strong minded women In
Manila are some OF the upper class Fill.
Pine women. They have clubs and talk
of rights and privileges and 60 into
politics and affairs of state. But the
American women are too busy having a
good time to bother about clubs of any
kind. All the older women play bridge,
but the girls in Manila haven't time for
that. They have too many other things
to do to enjoy bridge. Manila is a para.
disc for girls. Manila, you know, is gay
and giddy. Everyone there has the
native spirit OF responsibility and there
is nothing to live for but enjoyment
Manila is by no means an exile. It's 6
pleasure, dances all the time and every
sort of party except an ice carnival
3 There are the army set and the navy Sc
and the official set, and all the Govern
ment representatives, and the civilian
whose business brings them to Manila
There are representatives of nearly ever,
nation out there. There are cliques ant
cliques, but Ia general there is no lin
drawn. Everyone knows everyone. W
all absorb that spirit OF gayety, If W
haven't had it before we get there, ant
we have glorious time. The upper elias
Filipinos mix in with the foreigners tt
some extent, but they are dreadful,
formal. They never give nor attend in
formal affairs. They would not know
how to behave at them. You see, tn
upper class Filipono is in every custom
and tradition Spainard, and the Spain
ard is the most formal person in tn
world.
"The women in Manila dress very wei
indeed, more gayly than the women of al
American city. They wear great dea
OF the native stuffs in the gowns, such a.
pineapple cloth and Chinese grass cloth
but they have their clothes cut in tn
latest style. So many are coming ant
going from Europe and the United State
that the town is not behind the fashion
at all. Nearly everyone wears white OF
account Of the heat. We can get all tn
Chinese we want and there isn't any nee,
to worry. But, then, worry isn't in thu
atmosphere out there. Tomorrow i
always better than today"
