Test District Law.

The first step toward testing the
constitutionality of the new law in
this state providing for the election Of
ASsemblymen by districts instead of
by counties, was taken Monday, when
Harry f. Smith, a local Republican,
applied to County Clerk Charles II.
Baker for copies of the act. They were
formally refused. The law places this
duty upon county clerks, ana Mr..
Smith will at once institute manda-
mus proceedings in the Supreme Court.
Both sides will agree to statement
Of facts, and judgment will be asked
from the Supreme Court, so that the
case may be listed for argument before
the Court of Errors and Appeals at its
June term. The act under which AS
semblymen were formally elected by
districts was set aside by the Supreme
Court, but the case was never carried
to the Court Of Errors. An effort will
be made to secure a final decision be-
fore the next election, to prevent COM
plicatiOnS.

The Man with the Muck Rake he
has been called, and the name will
stick like pitch The yellow journals
have made him, and now he is making
the magazines. There is nothing too
base for him to follows nothing too
foul for him too exploit. He needs
the money, and he is paid for the job.
The soul of circulation man is in him.
Readers he must have thousands of
them, hundreds of thousands. Exag-
geration, peryersion, distortion,
truths, half-truths, lies he heaps
them up, regardless Of honesty, reck-
less of consequences, absolutely with
out thought of the enormous RESPONSE
bility that is his.
1t is time to halt and to think sober
ty. The last two years have witnessed
a political revival in this country such
as comes but once in a generation, a
revulsion against false leaders as moral
as any religious revival in time Of
great calamity. Roosev elt, Folk,
Hughes, Duneen, Jerome, have led us.
Shall we believe in the political creed
which they without ceasing repeat !:
" Play the game hard, but play it
square, and make every man that
plays it play it square, too"? Shall
we follow them, or shall we besot our
selves with the nostrums of every vel

low Quack, and then run hell-for-
leather down the steps of socialism,
trusting to the Providence which
watches over fools, drunkards and the
United States that we shall one day

1t will be pleasing news to many to
know that the Old Ladies' Home is to
have its opportunities for usefulness
largely increased The home for a
number OF years past has been located
in the brick building on Mt. Kemble
avenue, just below the junction Of
Market and Bank streets. The capa-
city Of the building has been over
taxed, and many applications for
rooms have necessarily been refused.
Now, an interested citizen has decided
to practically duplicate the main por-
tion Of the building by erecting an
addition to be known as The Mary
Louise Addition" on the side toward
the Wenman house. William G. Van
Doren has been engaged as the archi-
tect and is getting up plans, the new
part conforming to the present struc-
ture in architectural design.

RA|[W'Y DETECTIVES
The Work of the Sleuths En-.
polyed by Great Systems
is Difficult

One who keeps in touch with the
daily routine Of the happenings in
railroad circles very seldom hears
what is going on concerning the work
of the railroad detectives. A great
many stories are written of the deeds
performed by the man at the throttle,
the brave tiagman at crowded cross
ings and other employees of railroad
systems. But it is seldom ones at
tention is called to the railroad de-
ttective," the man who is hired to
keep the moral order on passenger
trains up to the standard and run
down bad men who worry railroad Of
ficials in the operation of trains by
acts of lawlessness and other offenses.
There are detectives and detectives.
A railroad man who knows whereof
he speaks, has the following to say
with reference to the right kind of
railroad detectives:
Zone of the tasks undertaken by the
secret service of the railroads for
the protection of the travelling public
is the uprooting of the professional
ICON men" from the lines. This is
a job of considerable magnitude.
Some of the most plausible confidence
men in the business make it their
practice to pick up their victims on
the trains.
I'm order to get these fellows it
is necessary for the, secret service
agents to become acquainted with the
oily ones and find out all about their
schemes, posing as fall guys as the
phrase runs. Then they have to in
vestigate the con mems clothes, even
when they know perfectly we'll that
the schemes are crooked, SO as to
make absolutely sure that they are
not making any mistakes.
when they have thus run the
schemes of the con men down, the
same sort of treatment virtually is
melted out to the oils as is handed
the card swindlers. They are chased
from the road by drastic hot foot
methods that can only be applied to
people who are operating without the
pale Of the law and who are there
fore practically powerless to kick
about the breaking up of their bust
ness
LAS sort of side line the secret
service men of the railroads are in
position to protect guileless girls
and women travelling, from the wiles
and schemes of hounds who follow the
railroads in pursuit of victims"
