ton for committee of six to inves-
tigate office rent by state depart
ments and report plan for state

soIons win Have to Help convlcts.

Penitentiary officials are facing
critical situation, resulting from
the constantly increasing number
of prisoners they are compelled
to confine in the idle house. More
discouraging than the existing con-
ditions is the prospect that, in six
months at the outside, practically all
the prisoners will be idle. Conditions
cannot improve; they will become
graver and graver unless relief is
given during the present session of
the legislature. In the meantime, on
an average 800 men spend 12 hours
each day on the benches in the idle
house. Since December 1 more pris-
oners have become insane than during
any average eight months before the
condition arose. In little over one
month, eight men have been taken to
the prison asylum. When all were
working, there was seldom more than
an average of one month who be-
came insane.

Test Sessions Legality.

Governor Harmon has decided
on an immediate test of the con-
stitutionality of the peresent ses-
sion of the legislature. An action
In mandamus was filed in the supreme
court to compel State Treasurer
Creamer to pay money appropriated at
this session. All interested will work
In harmony to secure an early deter
mination of the question.
Attorney General Timothy s. Hogan
appeared for the Big Four railroad,
the nominal plaintiff. Hogan in an
opinion to State Auditor Fullington
has upheld the session as regular and
will maintain that position in court
Treasurer Creamer was represented
by Attorney John H. Clarke of Cleve-
land, who contended that the consti-
tuition requires the legislature to hold
It's regular biennial session next year.
It is probable that several of the most
prominent attorneys in the state will
file briefs in the case as friends of
the court. They will take no side in
the controversy, but represent clients,
interested in having the decision cover
Many big concerns have refrained
from taking active part in pushing
desired bills because they fear the
constitutional question. Should the
court hold that the legislature last
year lacked authority to fix by law
the time when the regular session
shall convene, every act of the pres
ent session will have to be done over.
Governor Harmon would Immediately
reconvene the legislature in special
session. Senate and house organiza-
tions would have to be made again
and Lieutenant Governor Pomerene
reelected. as United States senator.
The Reynolds nonpartisan judiciary
bill and some formal appropriation
measures are the only bills which
have passed both houses. They
would be reintroduced and passed in
their present form. The reintroduc-
ton and reference to committee of all
bills now before the legislature and
the repassage OF those which have
gone through one house probably
could be accomplished in a week, so
that the work would be restored to its
present condition. The legislature
then would be required to convene
next year in regular session during
the time the constitutional convention
Is at work.

been and what has not been done

Dear Sirs: In the February issue

published an article written by me,
entitled, Cassidy and the Food Pois-

the investigation of Mr.. Cassidy, with
respect to the manufacture and sale
of impure candies in Philadelphia, and
made the statement that your COM
pany manufactured and sold impure
material which went into these cam
dies and that, when the various deal
ers were arrested and fined, at the in
stance of Mr.. Cassidy, your company
paid the fines.
Upon investigation, I have ascer-
tained that your company was in no
way connected with the transactions
referred to and l hasten to retract in
the fullest manner all charges made
against your company and to express
my sincere regret that should have
fallen into this serious error. Yours

Plan New Senator Measurs.

Reactionaries opened war on Har-

election of United States senators.
They declare that their control of tho
Democratic senate caucus has not
been dislodged by revealing the gov
ernor's position. Senators Cetone and
Dore, after their talk with the gov
ernor as members of the caucus COM
mittee, started drafting another bill.
1t will provide for q primary on elec-
ton day. The Dayton conventions
senatorial plank says. Pending the
campaign for compliance with the peo-
ple's demand, SO long denied by Re-
publican senate, we promise the enact
ment of law so fair that public senti-
ment will enforce it, providing for the
nomiL alton of senators by a popular
vote at the regular election in sena-
torial years." Dore and Cetone prom
ise that this will be fulfilled to the let
ter in their bill. 1t will provide for
placing on the regular election ballot
the names of all senatorial candidates
In the column with the party ticket.
The candidates in each party, receiv-
ing the highest vote within that party,
will be its official senatorial entry.
His name will be certified to mem
bers of the legislature of that party
and they will be bound in honor to
vote for him. 1t is required, however,
that the nominee of any party must
have secured a plurality of the party
votes in at least 25 per cent of the
legislative districts. That places Cuya-
hoga, the largest, and Vinton, the
smallest county, on the same footing,
for both are Legislative districts for
members of the house. The purpose
of this is to prevent dictation by the
big cities.
