THE PRESIDENTIAL E

While Senator Cul1om doesn't wish It
understood hat he has revived his
six-year presidential term proposition
at this time with n reference to the
receEt ethird term talk, which Mr..
Roosevelt squelched, it cannot be de-
MED that the matter comes up at a
peculiarly apropos season to arouse
general interest. For months the prop
o~sition, either from mistaken or ma
licious motives, has been kept before
the people to nominate Mr.. Roosevelt
for another term, which he himself, de-
spite the technical point that he has
had but one elective term, would call
a third term.
Mr.. Cullom's joint resolution calls
for an amendment of the Federal
Constitution, limiting the presidential
term of office to six years, and makes
either President or vice-President in
eligible to serve again. The PROPOSE
ton is sensible. In a term of six years
a President should be able to- master
his work and achieve results. Ineligi-
bility for another term would remove
all temptation to build up a political
machine out of the power of patronage
to further personal ambition by the
reelection of the appointing owe 1t
ie fo ha boped that the resolution will
not be lost in the judiciary committees
~plgeonhole this time. We believe the
people of the various States are ripe
for such an amendment.

MYSTERY TAKES WOMEN TO
CEMETERY AT MIDNIGHT

cured a powerful automobile, and late
as the hour was, started on a record
breaking run for M~iddleboro. 1t was
moi a difficult matter to locate Mr..
Conway. As a matter of fact, he had
col looked upon the face of the woman
whom the undertaken had brought
home to him. but had followed the
casket to the grave. as it had come
home to him.
Conway demurred at first, when the
TIE n party requested him to return
with them to the cemetery and make
assurance doubiy sure that 1t was in
deed the body of Mrs. Connolly, rather
than tina of Miss Conway, that had
been inferred there.
you say that my sister is still alive
and at the hospital?" he k OF the
doctor.
"That is an ~undoubted fact" was
the answer.
'Then why should 1 go u at this
time of night on such an ne
demanded.
The claims of simple humanity were
impressed upon the man, and at last
he acquiesced. The automobile was
then headed for the place of business
OF the undertaken, and with the latter
added to the party the cemetery was
sought.
The grave was found with little diff
Guilty, though the snow covered the low
mound, and the light afforded by the
moon was none too adequate. Shovels
were brought into play, the workers re-
moving their coats to better proceed
with the work. 1t was a strange situa-
ton, and the participants in the strange
drama were fully conscious or the
strangeness, the gruesomeness of It..
They spoke scarcely above whispers
when they spoke at all. The necessary
work was accomplished as quickly as
possible, and the casket was raised to
the\surface and placed upon the unsul-
lied snow at one side of the excavation.
The lid of the casket was removed, n
in obedience to the command OF the
doctor, Conway and Mrs. Smith drew
near and loked down upon the features
of the dead.
THAT is not my sister," said Mr.
Conway.
my mother!' exclaimed Mrs. Smith.
Conway's announcement vas matter
of-fact. Mrs. Smiths voice was
choked with sobs.
1t was nearly midnight. The hospital
party, with Mr.. Smith, returned at
once to Taunton. The undertaken was
instructed as to his duties and he fol-
lowed at his leisure with the body.
The latter was taken to the Smith
home, where Mr.. Connolly lives. and
there it will be made ready for its Sec
ond burial. All yesterday sorrowing
friends of the family called to Express
their sympathy. Because of the cir
cumstances of Mrs. Connelly's death,
the funeral services will be held Mon
day forenoon.

A wild night ride in an automobile
by the families of two women and the
authorities of the Taunton (Mass) In
sane Hospital, the raiding of lonely
Kings Furnace Cemetery. five miles
from the city, the uncovering of a five
weeks old grave. the opening of the
coffin and the examining of the body
by the pickering light of a dim lantern
INT the pale radiance of the moon,
were disclosed in a case of mistaken
identity in the burial and death of a
woman patient of the Taunton Insane
Hospital.
Through the dispatch of a notifica-
tion to the wrong person by the hos
pital authorities, Thomas Conway, of
Middleboro, supposed his sister, Mary
Jane Conway, had been buried, while
in reality the grave contained the body
of Mrs. Jane Connolly, whose family
had not suspected that she was dead,
but believed her alive and in good care.
The dramatic disclosure of the mis-
taken identity was made late at night.
when beneath a waning moon, in the
shadow of the forest, the sods were re-
moved from the casket.
Mrs. Jane Connolly was the wife of
John Connolly, of Philadelphia Sew
eral years ago, her intellect falling, it
became necessary to procure her COM
mitment to the Taunton Insane Hos
pital. Five weeks ago yesterday Mrs.
James H. Smith, one Of Mrs. Con-
nelly's daughters, called al the hos
pital and found her in her usual
health. Mrs. Smith, with other MEM
bers of the family, visited the hospital
again yesterday. DR.. Benjamin w.
Baker, of the hospital staff, met the
visitors and they inquired of him as
to their mothers health.
why, said the doctor, obviously
surprised; your mother is dead. Did
you not know it?'
MY mother dead?" responded Mrs.
Smith, scarcely realizing yet that she
could be hearing correctly. But why
were we not noti1ed?'
Mrs. Connolly passed away three
weeks ago, on December 5, to be exact"
responded DR.. Baker, land the relatives
were notified at the time"
Mrs. Smith replied that she had re-
ceived no such notification, and she
knew the other members of the family,
whom she saw frequently, had received
no word of her death.
1t CHANGED that Mary Jane Conway,
of Middleboro, was. and still is,a patient
at theNhospital. The similarity in the
names was responsible for the error of
whoever filled u the telegram. The
next of kin of Mary Jane Conway is
Thomas Conway, of Middleboro, a
brother. The record showed that to
him the notice, which should have
gone to Mrs. Connelly's children, had
been sent.
Eager to make amends as quickly as
possible, the hospital authorities Sc

In no year since grip was so named
has there been such an epidemic of it
in the East. Thousands are suffering
from it, and while it is usually of a
mild type, still 1t is so widely prevalent
that it is seriously interfering with
general business. 1t is calculated that
fully ten per cent. of the employees of
large business concerns in New York
are down with it. Grip is nc respecter
of persons. The public offices are at
tackled and it has laid up Governor
Hughes. The epidemic has struck some
Of the opera singers and ~disarranged
the whole opera program. 9
If taken in hand promptly by the phys
stefan, grip runs its course in a few
days, though it's mighty bad while it
lasts. The patient feels as If run through
a pounding machine and fit for nothing.
But the chief danger is hat it leaves
one in a weakened state that makes the
patient an easy prey to other disease
germs, chiefly pneumonia, so that it
behooves the sufferer to be most care
full until out of the woods" DON'T
trine with grip, but go to the doctor
on the first symptoms and attack it
promptly and vigorously.

In a Presidential election year in New
Jersey the State election goes the way
of the national election. In 1904 the
election for Governor was coincident
with the election for Presidential
electors, and Governor Stokes was
swept into office by an unprecedented
plurality, because of the great plurality
for Roosevelt for President. If the Re-
publican Presidential candidate carries
New Jersey this year the Legislature
of 1909 will be Republican beyond per-
adventure. If the Democrats shall
carry the State for President the AS
sembly elected will be Democratic, I'M
less the Democratic plurality for the
national ticket shall be small.

FALSE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

The fact that the city sealer of
weights and measures should fnd 1t
necessary to make raids, after the man.
ner of the police in descending upon a
d%isorderly house, in order to catch vio-
lators of the law. would seem to indi-
cate something wrong with the system
of inspection. The tremendous haul of
faulty scales and weights, made in the
Market and elsewhere, reveals an as
founding amount of dishonesty among
some tradesmen. T~hirty-fye sets of
cheating scales seized in the centre Of
the city in one morning should make
us blush for this sort of business mo
rality. Some of the seized scales, the
official says, weighed short as much as
three ounces in the pound.
1t is hardly possible that in a ma
1ority of these cases the mistakes were
innocent. That Sealer Caufield resorted
to raids shows what he believed. 1t
Wouiu beSih lhal frequent ioai hSPeS
ton of scales and weights and meas
ures, not a merely perfunctory periodi-
cal call, would wipe out this iniquity.
The man that hampers with his scales
to insure short weight is no better than
a thief. He is robbing his customers
surely as If he went through their
pockets and helped himself to the con-
tents. One convicted of selling short
weight and short measure should be
publicly pilloried.

LET THE STATE BUILD. ITS ROADS.

New Jersey has not asked and does
moi want Federal aid in the building
of her roads. Without outside aid this
State and her subdivisions have built
about two thousand miles of improved
roads. and the work goes diligently on
year after year. There are many States
that have shown an utter lack of en-
terprise in road building, and the repre-
sentatives of these States in Congress
want the government to appropriate
$40, 000, 200 a year for FIVE successive
years for public highways in the States.
1t may be expected that every New
Jersey representative will vote against
that proposition. It offers a premium
for lack of enterprise and civic spirit,
and 1t is unjust to States like New Jer-
sey n Massachusetts that have al
ready expended millions for road i'm
provement. An appropriation of $50, 000,-
600. divided among forty-six States,
would not go very far in road building,
n the expenditure once begun would
have no limit. All the money that the
national treasury has to spare is need
ed for other important purposes.
A system of national waterways is
projected and will cost several hundred
millions. The government is engaged
in the great work of ~irrigating mil
lions of acres of arid lands in the West,
and it is proposed also that the large
The States can be left to improve their
highways while the general government
contributes to those great works that
are interstate and national.

CAN DICKINSON BE pERsUADEDq

Secretary of State Dickinson refused
to resign when requested to do so by
Governor Stokes when he backed out
of his suit for libel against Mayor
Pagan, of Jersey City. Dickinson jus
titled his retreat by averring that he
did not desire to have his enemies
placard his case to the prejudice of
his political party, and that his purpose
was to renew the suit Immediately after
the election. Dickinson has forfeited
his word. He has not renewed the suit
and evidently he has no intention of
so doing.
The Governor cannot remove the Sec
rotary of State. Governor Stokes has
done his duty in the matter and he is
compelled to leave Dickinson on Gov
ernor-elect Forts hands. It is not a
pleasant legacy. If Dickinson is re-
solved to serve out his term he can
not be interfered with. The Republi-
cans of Hudson County may repudiate
his leadership, and the whole State hold
him In contempt, but he is anchored in
office, and If he holds on he must be
endured. But Governor-elect Fort has
persuasive powers. Can he not use
moral suasion to induce Dickinson to
vacate? That would, indeed, be a sig
nal achievement for his administration
right at the start.

TUNNEL TRANSIT NOW.

Regular passenger trains will begin

minutes, whereas the ferryboat takes
ten minutes without counting delay.
The season and the weather will have
no effect upon this new method of
transportation. Neither fogs, nor
winds. nor tide, can prevail to delay or
embarrass the service. Barring acct
