Root Talks on Direct Vote for Senators.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 10.-Sbeak.
ing of the proposition for the election
OF United States senators by the direct
vote of the people, Senator Root, on
the senate floor today, said the prop
osition was an effort to evade the re-
sponsibility of government, declaring
the principal reason given for the
Grange to be the corruption of state
legislatures. He said a more funda-
mental change should be made than
ever yet proposed. He would go to
the root of the truble by so purifying
politics as to obtain better material in
state legislatures.

League Completes $4,000 Cam
paign Fund.

The Anti-Saloon League of Maryland
has received subscriptions in sufficient
amount to complete the special campaign
fund of 10000, and thereby secures the
$4,000 offered by five friends of the cause.
The money will be used for advertising
and the circulation of literature by mail.
Part of it will be spent before the prima-
ries to arouse the people to insist upon the
nomination of local option candidates by
both parties. The rest of il will be spent
in helping elect temperance candidates
against those controlled by the liquor in
terests, regardless of party.
This is the first time in the history of
Anti-Saloon League work in the country
that so large campaign fund has been
raised so long before election. The league
feels that it indicates an overwhelming
demand on the part of the people for the
passage of the local option bill. and incl
IDENTIFY shows general confidence in het
league as an effective agency for securing it,
The league has not and will not enter
into any deal or alliance with any political
party, but deals solely with individual can
didates Even in the unlikely event that
some party should put the local option
question into its platform. the league will
not support any candidate Of such party
who has not made satisfactory personal
declaration, and where the candidates of
both parties are equally satisfactory the
league will remain neutral.

New Maryland Court Rule.

A rule has been adopted by the judges
of the Supreme Bench of Maryland to pre-
vent LAYERS from "badgering" or bullying"
witnesses, particularly women, while giving
testimony. II gives to presiding judges the
right to halt an attorney who attempts to
put witnesses through the third degree
in an effort to break down their testimony
or to gain some advantage by securing adj
missions or contradictions which otherwise
they would not make.
The rule has been inspired by the Bar
Association Of Maryland, which has noted
the brow-beating tactics employed by I'M
scrupulous lawyers to attain their ends
and the hysteria suffered by women on the
witness stand. Under the system in vogue
in most States. cross examination has be-
come source of terror not only to women,
but to many men. who are honest, yet who
become confused or unnerved in the pres
ence Of an INSCRIPTIONS lawyer with a
sharp tongue and the spirit of a bully.
Such practice does not make for JUS
tice, nor does ii necessarily tend to bring
out the true facts in a case The witness
stand should not be made pillory, and
the judges should protect witnesses much
Oftener than they do from brow beating
tactics.
The Maryland Bar Association is on the
right track, as is shown by the acceptance
of its recommendation by the Supreme
Court. But the reform which it proposes
is needed in other States. our own included.
No decent. self-respecting lawyer will de-
scend to the level of BLACKBOARD in ex-
amining reputable witnesses. even if it
may be in order for him to give lying ones
a lick with the rough side of his tongue
But when he does that with the witnesses
who are decent, or are presumably speak
in the truth, the judge on the bench should
always be prompt to apply the muzzle. --

Review Of The History And Work
OF The General Federation.

The General Federation of Women s
Clubs, an organization of more than hall
million women, is coming to be recoe-
nized as one of the greatest. if not. indeed
the greatest, agency for the advancement
of civilization in America to-day, The
officers are women who have distinguished
themselves for their ability and devotion
to the best interests of their State and
country, and the chairman of the standing
committees are women who are experts in
the lines of work which they are chosen
| to direct
Almost 81 years have passed since a
clever member of the Sorosis Club of New
York city, Jennie June" (Mrs. Croly),
suggested that fitting way to celebrate
the twentieth anniversary of Sorosis would
be to assemble the women of the country
who had shown that they had brains and
constructive ability enough to form them
selves into wOmen's clubs. Sorosis followed
her suggestion and sent cards of greeting
and invitation summOning 81 clubs-all
she could find throughout this great coun-
try-to the celebration March. 1889, The
guests returned to their homes all Of one
mind-"that, the women clubs of America
are to be federated
The next year. 1890, the first meeting Of
the federation was held in New York city,
April 23-5. A vast amount of work had
been performed since the year before.
The advisory committee had canvassed
every State in the Union, the result of
which was that so clubs, representing II
States. had united to form the new organi-
cation. Charlotte Emerson Brown was
chosen the first president, Succeeding her
have been Mrs. Ellen M. Henrotin, Mrs.
Rebecca Lowe. Mrs. Dimes S. Denison,
Mrs Sarah S. Plat Decker and Mrs. Eva
Perry Moore, who is president at this time.
The meetings are held biennially, with an
attendance of about 5000 members.
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Louis
vile. Denver, Milwaukee. Los Angeles, St.
Louis, ST. Paul. Boston and Cincinnati have
already been the fortunate entertainers,
while in 1912 San Francisco will do the
honors.
To-day the go clubs, representing II
States, of 1890, have swelled to 5000
clubs, comprising AZ State declarations and
many foreign societies, together represent
ing 100000 women united under the title
of THE General Federation of Women's
Clubs" A busy band of workers no idlers
are found here Consider for a moment Its
various committees-education art, litera-
ture library, extension. household, econOm-
les, civics, civil service, reform. forestry
industrial and child labor legislation and
pure food and reciprocity. But with all
the departments and committees order and
perfect harmony prevail, and no more fit
ting motto better represents the powerful
army than that chosen by the Sorosis presi-
dent. Mrs. Glynes, at the first federation
meeting, when she said I'VE look fol
unity, but unity in diversity, and we pledge
ourselves to work for a common cause. the
cause of women throughout the world"

To Save The Chestnuts.
From the New York Evening Post.

from the New YORK Evening Post.
Everybody about New York knows the
blight which has made such heartbreakine
havoc of the chestnut trees. But not many
realize that in Pennsylvania a resolute
fight is being made against the spread OF
the disease in the hope of saving the main
body of chestnut timber in the middle and
western part of the State.
Through the efforts of Pennsylvanians
Congress has taken cognizance of the stu
ton and appropriated $4,000 to investi-
gate. More important still, the legislature
urged by Gov. Tener, has provided $780,
900 to carry the fight to a finish. A COM
mission is to be appointed by the governor
The tree experts in New York and New
Jersey practically gave up the fight against
the chestnut blight at its very inception
because their experiments led them to
believe that il was incurable. The chest
nuts are now extinct in a great many sec
tons, and all the fine old specimens OF
fourScore years or more wave their pitiable
branches leafless and dead. But in Penn
sylvania the people went on the principle
that the scourge could be fought on the
same plan as prairie fires. They thought
that by cutting down trees and burning
them as fast as the infection spread, and
by taking all possible precautions against
further infection. the disease could be con-
trolled, They seem to be proving the point
Initiative in the matter was taken by
the chestnut blight committee of the Main
Line Citizens Association of Philadelphia
Harold Pierce is chairman of this committee
From interviews with the governor, Vt
he said the other day, II am satisfied that
the commission to be appointed will be one
that will do all il can to combat this dis
ease Of the chestnut trees. If the disease
had been actively attacked when il first
appeared in New York. it probably would
not have spread beyond the confines OF
Long Island but now ii is almost hopeless
to do anything in Long Island, lower New
York, and New Jersey. The only hope OF
staying the disease is in some such action
as we are taking in Pennsylvania"
