Tammany king, met an impecunious
constituent recently and took him to
dinner in a restaurant much more pre-
tentious than the man was accustomed
to. He was fellow of almost infinite
appetite and the amount Of food he
slowed away was something porten-

consumed enough substantials he
asked: Now, whatll you have for
desert?" whats that?" ooh, some
thing to top off with" The constitu-

Thomas Wistar Brown, who is rich

For this reason he is indicted at

six children.
The kidnapers are all relatives
of the Brown and Wistar families
which are among the wealthiest
and most socially prominent in
Philadelphia
They are determined to keep the
children until the courts enjoin the
father from forcing icy baths and
icier walks upon them.
Also, the relatives and the chill

shall decide whether or not it is
cruel to force the children to learn
chapters of the bible by heart and
cuff them for mistakes in recita-
ton, another of Wistan Browns

LEGISLATURE PROPOSED
BY SPOKANE DELEGATION

Spokane delegates to the state
legislature are already considering
radical changes proposed in state
laws, principal among which Is
one relative to the railway com
mission. They will advocate plac-
ing streetcar and electric lines I'M
der the commission law to the end
that those roads shall be prohibited
from granting free passes to Of
ficials Of city and county. Many
public officials are supplied with
the regulation yellow pass books,
and others with the IS book, for
which they pay nothing. Those
who use the S. books do so because
they wish to hide the fact that
they travel on passes and the books
are such as the ordinary citizen
pays S. for. The present law for
bids steam lines granting passes,
but does not apply to streetcar and
electric lines.
Another important law the dele
cation will take up relates to acct
dents to employees of corporations.
The delegation would make recov.
cry possible for the relatives of sin

the carelessness Of the company

get additional equipment, and a
physical impossibility to move the
traffic with the present equipment.
1t is unfortunate, says the railroad
men, but the public must take the
consequences.
The presidents answer to this is
a question: Why did the railroad
officials not foresee the present
needs? Why has the Hartman sys-
tenn been declaring fabulous divi-
dends and scattering money among
the Wall st. trailers, while orders
ought to have been placed for new
engines and new cars?
Why should the public necessi-
ties be ignored or forgotten? If the
situation is due to lack of fore
sight and to incompetence, then it
is time this incompetence and lack
of foresight be corrected by prop
er government supervision.
