THE legislative will this winter, 1t is
is said, ensct q rule preventing others
than representatives from getting on the
floors of the two chambers during bust
ness hours. Not single member who
has made his appearance in Richmond
within the last two weeks does not ex'
press bis approval of the scheme. For
several years the custom has been to ad-
nit certain people to the floors, and
others have succeeded in obtaining the
privilege, TO the serious Inconvenience
of the members. Gentlemen identified
with the prominent legislation OF the last
session of the legislature allude to the
famous struggle over the Byrd bill,
when advocates of the measure-men
who had no right to expect or enjoy the
privileges OF the AOor-crOwded into the
Senate chamber and frequently talked
with the members Ia tones loud enough
to interfere with business. 1t is to pre-
vent a recurrence Of such a thing as this
that the new ruling has been suggested.
List winter the floor of the Senate was
invaded by many persons who really had
no right to be there, many of them lob
byists and nothing else. The proper
rule should be adopted the day the leg
islature meets.

GOING TO SUPREME COURT.

A certified transcript OF the record In
the case OF the Northwestern Mutual
Life Insurance Company VS.. the heirs Of
the late Samuel McOue, hanged at
Charlottesville for the murder of his
wife, was yesterday transmitted by the
clerk of the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals for the Eastern district to the
clerk of the United States Supreme
Court, at Washington.
The case of the Northwestern against
the McCue heirs arises out OF the efforts
being put forth by the life insurance
company to evsde payment of the $751;
900 policy carried by McOue at the time
OF his death. The Northwestern takes
the ground that death from execution In
explation Of crime is In itself kind Of
suicide. On this plea the case has been
fought through all the Virginia state
courts, through several of the federal
tribunals, and is now carried to the court
of last resort for final adjudication.

THURSDAY EVENING, SEPT. %, 1909

In England the increasing danger 10
life from the use Of swift moving mo-
tors on the public highways has led TO
serious discussion of putting taxes Oh
the owners of motor vehicles, the pro-
ceeds to be used in the construction Oh
roads solely for motor tratlc' luis
will lead to parliamentary inquiry as 70
how far the public interest would be
subserved by the experiment. Inc
Philadelphia Record says the very
rapid movement Of motor vehicles tears
up the surface Of the road and distri-
butes It in dust, to the annoyance OF
other users of the highways and the
injury of AUDITING property owners
Probably the most satisfactory solution
of the problem would be found in the
use Of the money arising from motor
tax for the purpose Of Improvement and
maintenance of roads, with such &C
companying restrictions upon high
speeding motorists as would go far to
insure the safety of pedestrians and OF
riders mother vehicles. The doctrine
of equal rights and square deal need
to be enforced on the highways. An
AIexandrisn who spent the summer in
the north says the automobiles tear up
the reads dreadfully and make constant
repairs necessary.

three people who are condemned TO die
