teeler before proposing biennial election amend
ment for submission to the voters next year
The plan has twice been defeated, chiefly be-
cause of nsurmountable objections to it under
our rotten borough form Of government; and in
the present aroused state of the public mind ii is
not likely to be received with favor, as the people
are only too anxious TO get another chance at the
boss and his marionettes, and the quicker the
better
The News-Democrat believes in the principle
of biennial elections under popular form of gov
ernment where the people govern themselves. 1t
believes that Rhode Island should at the proper
time adopt the biennial election principle but it is
firm in its conviction that the only safe method
Of doing so is by including this as one of the
many desirable reforms to be secured through
revision of the constitution by really represen-
tative constitutional convention. which cannot be
and should not be sought through any other
means.
Until Rhode Island no longer is governed by
a small fraction of its population through legis-
lators controlled by boss, annual elections are
an imperative necessity, and to some extent
protection for the people. When the people rule,
and wherever they rule biennial elections are to
be desired. When Rhode Island takes her place

THE BOYS INTERESTED.

The Bradford Idea Of interesting chill
dren. especially boys. I'm municipal mat p
ters, started on one OF the unpaved streets
OF the city. The president of the Civic
Improvement club went out personally
with rake and began to clean up the
rubbish. A neighbor boy saw him and
came out with his rake. Then others
came out. The president asked one of
the boys II he had a mattock or a pick.
saying that the stones that stuck up ought
TO be got out. There were FIVE boys out
at this suggestion with picks and rakes
working and sweating like Trojaus. In
a day or two the street was cleaned up
nicely. The city teams came and carted
the rubbish Off. When II was all com .
pleted the president wrote an account OF
II, including In IL the names of the five
boys, and il was published in the ally
papers.
From this one example the thing has
spread to other parts OF the city. The
president reports all new work. including
the names of the boys. and gives IL to the
press. which is glad 10 get It. and sec

Hats off strangers. for the speaker"

cry, as they come to attention.
Hats off! Way for the speaker Is
the command given by the police inspector
in tho so-called lobby, which Is really the
antechamber OF the house.
At once, as when the muezzin calls the
faithful 10 prayer, there is silence and re-
srect and heads are barred. The speaker
is about to leave his palace adjoining the
house, to take his seat. Mr.. Speaker,
according to A. Maurice Lows article IN
Appleton's Magazine, IS a very great dig
nitary. BY law he Is ''rhe First Com
moner" and is given official precedence
over every other commoner in the king

ceives a salary OF $4,000 year. the only

devious ways of the law he has his private
counsel. To minister TO his comfort ana
convenience and dignity he has a private

Mr.. Speaker has now left his residence.
and In stately and picturesue procession
Is entering the corridor that leads to tho
House. lie Is preceded by an usher then
comes the sergeant alarms In black
coat open at the breast to show the dainti-

king personally, although he is an officer
OF the house OF commons, is paid salary
OF 5000 a year and has an Official resi-

He carries the great glittering mace on
his shoulder and is followed by two door
keepers who wear knee breeches, SILK
stockings, and coats and waistcoats of the
conventional evening cut; their wide eN-
panse of shirt front partly covered by
gold chain suspended around the neck and
meeting in a large gold badge. Then
comes the speaker in huge wig and silk
gown, which is held up by his trainbearer,
followed by the gowned figure OF the
chaplain, with two doorkeepers TO close
the procession. The staff of doorkeepers
range themselves round tho walls OF the
antechamber-a room with wonderful
oak carving and stained glass windows
and make respectful and deep obeisance
as the speaker passes. while tho members
stand with barred heads and in silence
until the procession has entered the house.
Then the members crowd in, the doors are
locked. and again the voice OF the muezzin
is heard crying to the faithful: Speaker

Congressman Daniel L. ID. Granger, by the
largest total vote and the largest plurality he has
ever received, has received third term from this
district at the hands of the people who know and
trust him.
By the state returning boards count, just COM
pleted, he is returned to congress by SI7 plu-
rality over Ex-Governor Elisha Dyer, the Repub-
lican candidate, a plurality more than six times
as large as that given him over former Chief JUS
tice Stiness two years ago, and even greater than
his combined puraites of 1909 and 1904
That his strength has not been due so much
the weakness OF the Republican candidates as to
popular regard for him is shown by an analysis
of the vote in each of the II towns and cities in
the First district, where the Republican vote has
increased each year In 1902 he received 90, plu-
rality and had but 1898 votes. In 1904 his
plurality, after the magnfyng glass brigade got
through with it, I33, but his popular vote had
increased 10 1883
This year he made gains in every town and
city except Newport Jamestown, Portsmouth and
Warren, and he gained 1900 votes in this city,
where he resides, of which he was city treasurer
and mayor for years and where ''the people know
him. This, too, despite the fact that the most
strenuous efforts were made to defeat him. and
that his opponent was mayor and in active politi-
cal life and generally regarded in machine Repub-
lican circles as an unprecedented vote-getter

SAFETY OF
OCEAN TRAVEL.

When the average man reads OF fire on
one OF the marine monsters that now
cross the Atlantic his fears almost per-
suade him that never again will he trust
himself or his family to the dangers of
the voyage.
But all these fears are survivals They
come down from the time of wooden
ships and long voyages-from the time
when II took 80 days to go from New
York to Liverpool, and that in a crowded
packet ship az inhammable as wooden
ships necessarily are.
All this has changed. Seven days is
longer than the average time for cross
ing the North Atlantic. and il would be
hard 10 find now man or woman who
had ever crossed in anything more com
bustible than steel or iron.
When one bears I'm mind the enormous
tide Of human beings sweeping backward.
and forward across the stormiest ocean
travelled, and how rarely an accident, TO
say nothing of "A fatality, occurs among
Them, the wonder is not that travellers
survive the voyage, but that any OF
them succumb TO it's peris.
Travel at sea is really much safer than
travel OF equal distance or length Of time
on land.
Statistics prove that more lives were
lost in the old stage coaches than in mod
ern shipwrecks. proportionately to the
number of lives risked.-New York Ameri-

FROM FRYING PAN INTO FIRE.

Former Superintendent OF Public Buildings
Mansfield is said TO be casting something more
than longing eyes at the fat job now held down
by his successor, Superintendent Evans
Taxpayers familiar with affairs at the city hall
will hardly be more pleased with the possible re-
turn to former conditions than with the prospect
of continuance of those that exist Observa-
tion of the methods of the city property commit
tee and the superintendent of public buildings dur
ing the past year. at the long range of the
average taxpayer has not tended to create any
popular demand for continuation OF those Off
cials in their present positions; and a not alto
gether faded memory of the past does not awaken
desire to jump from the frying pan into the fire
The office of superintendent of public buildings
is regarded by politicians as one OF the graft
Jobs at city hall, and they ought to know. The
taxpayers, therefore, should see that such in
iluence as they may be able to exert even upon
city councilmen elected by the machine that per
petuates the city hall ring, shall be brought to
bear to in the coming year the most capable,
honest and economical administration of the ctys
