as a rule. the moral lobby is more
powerful than the one which would

The two Senators who were Tho
first to leave Washington when the
session of the Upper House closed
for the holidays. will be among the
last to return. They are Senator's
Cummins and Young. Of Iowa. sena-
tor Young has gel only three weeks
of actual service but he likes It so

full term. while Senator Cummins is
working the election OF a more pro-
gressive Republican to fill the seat
made vacant by the death OF Senator
J. P. Dolliver.
1t Is the general rule for men
elected TO high state and federal Of
ices to sever all connections with
corporations and personal business
Immediately after their election is a

He has not resigned either from the

The Russell Sage Foundation has
begun a campaign to put the loan
sharks out Of business. These in
famous characters have been taking
interest at the rate Of 100 per cent a
year. They have done 1t with impun-
ity, because their victims have been
without funds and therefore helpless.
The best use that can be made Of
wealth is to protect those who do not
have it from the owners Of greedy
wealth. The great fund Of the Sage
Foundation will be respected when
the loan sharks would be absolutely
contemptuous Of the threats Of their

Commission Government For Trenton.

Commission Government For Trenton.
AT special election held In the
city OF Trenton. n. j., the voters adopt
ed the provisions of the Walsh act
of last winter. providing for COM
mission form of government. with
most OF the radical features that are
being tried out in a number OF the
cities OF the west and south.
The majority in favor of the propo-
sition was 1902. the vote being 1892
for and 1890 against.
Under the Walsh act the entire
present system of government will be
wiped out in the city. whose affairs
will be placed in complete control OF
an elective commission o. five men,
bers. exercising both Legislative and
administrative functions. The COM
missioners will elect one of their men,
bers, who will be the putative mayor
OF the city. They will hold office for
four years, unless the recall feature OF
the act should be placed in operation
in the meantime. The initiative and
referendum are among the other fea-
lures of the act accounted upon to add
to the novelty of the new scheme OF
government.
