What Happened March 1, 1905.

One of the indictments several re-
publican congressman from Illinois
must answer in their campaign for
reelection this year is their vote fo''
what is now known as the mileage
grab" This bit of attempted legisla-
ton is regarded as the most shameless
piece of petty pilfering recorded i'll
congress since the back-pay or salary
grab in 1872 that ended so many po-
litical careers in the election next fol
lowing
The Chicago News. at the head of
it's editorial columns. Kinder the above

the following article:
"In the fall of 1908 President Roose-
welt called the 5Sth congress INFO spe-
cial session on Nov. . TO consider the
Cuban reciprocity Dill.
"At noon on Dec. Z of that year The
special session was merged into the
first regular session of the 5Sth con-
gress without any lapse of time be-
tws=.. the two sessions.
"A year and three months later, on
March ]. 1905. after the congressman
had drawn from the public treasury
mileage for two sessions and the 5Sth
congress was within three days of adj
journment, the general deficiency APP
preparation bill was amended in the
house by the addition of 100000 for
mileage for the second session.
only 90 members of the house
voted for this amendment, yet it was
carried. because most of the members
refrained from voting. Eighty votes
were cast against measure. AS the
first and second sessions were. in fact.

Washington was concerned. the vote
of mileage for the second session man

Six republican congressman from
Illinois voted for the mileage grab of

Foster. Mann,
Graft, Knopf

In Missouri az least two congress

least two districts the voters seem de-
terminsd to follow the example.

cratic candidate for governor is TO De
nominated in state convention by IN
structed delegates. The plan gives
more weight to the preferences OF the
different districts and subdivisions OF
the state than TO the majority OF vot-
ers in the state at large. 1t is not
without merit of its own, but, unless
the contest should be very close, 1t
would not operate differently from
nomination by majority vote.
The factional war between Cuflom
and Yates is likely to make no end OF
trouble before plan of senatorial pri-
maries is agreed upon. But 1t Will
hardly be safe for the republican party
TO permit adjournment before salts

The people of Illinois, in both par
ties. desire to name the men who are

cans cannot satisfy them on this point
the democrats certainly will.

The Illinois Special Session.

St Louis Republic: The supreme
courts ripping up of the crazy-quilt
patchwork OF the late unlamented pri-
mary law ought TO make it easy for
the Illinois legislature, in its special
session, to- frame a primary law that
will bear judicial inspection and salts
fy the demand of the people for nom
nations by direct popular vote.
The greatest difficulty in the way of
prompt enactment of such a law will
be encountered i'm the special. as IL
was in the regular. session, in the ri
valries and EARRING interests of the re-
publican factions.
IL these interests can be reconciled
or overridden. the Illinois legislature
could not do better than TO shape its
primary law in the main upon the rule
of the Arkansas democratic convention
of 1901. which governed the demo
cratic primaries held in that state on
March Is.
Under this rule Governor Davis was
nominated for the United States senate
by a majority of all the democratic
votes cast IN the state at large on the
day of the primary. Under the pri-
mary law which the supreme court OF
Illinois has killed the primary vote for
United States senator was not binding
upon members of the legislature. 1t
was only advisory.
1t may be true that the legislature
cannot divest itself of the initiative in
the c5o:ce of a senator, conferred upon
it by the constitution of the United
States hU- II can at least declare by
resolution that members in balloting
fer senator shall be bound so far as it
is possible to bind them by the prefer
ences OF the voters as made known in
the primaries.

day afternoon at o'clock in pursuance
of the notice given in the daily papers
the board of directors of the Commercial

a meeting in the office of Secretary STAT
ter. The principal matter that came
before the board was tile question of
the railway schedules that are to become

The arrival of the trains over the West

cussed and it was agreed that the change
almost effectually bottled up Selma so

Secretary slater was instructed to take
the matter up with President Nickersham
of the West Point route and endeavor TO
secure remedy, the suggestion being
that the Western put ON third tram

would give the local trade that goes to
Montgomery sufficient time to do their
shopping and would bring to Selma the

usual tranquility of the town was dis

check on the First National bank. The
darby who gave his name as Jim Greg.
presented to Ed Meridith, cashier of the
bank. a check for $685. purporting to
be signed by Brown & Hagaman.
A decimal point between the one and
the nine, the fact that Hagamans name
was misspelled, and his acquaintance
with that firms signature enabled Mere
dith to at once decide that the check
was forgery. Taking up pistol Edgar
Terrell, an employee of the bank, started
around the fixtures for the front door,
when Jim remembered an engagement
elsewhere.
As he fled around corners of buildings
Ferrell fired three times at him, but was
unable to check his flight. and so far
nothing further has been heard of him.
