THAT DRINKING CUP LAW.

DR.. William e. Ramsay, in max
ing his canvas for the state sena-
torship may find the argument
that he is the father of the individu-
al drinking cup law not as effective
as he may think 1t will be. There
is a decided difference Of opinion as
to the value of this law which was
put on the statute books last year
and which has abolished all public
drinking cups throughout the state.
The Trenton Times comments on
| this work Of DR.. Ramsay's as fol
lows:
"a member of a local board OF
health in Bergen county has report
ed to the State Board that a child
tainted on a Susquehanna train
Thursday night, and when the con-
| ductor was appealed to for a glass of
water he answered that an order had
been issued that prevented him from
supplying 1t. The fault is not with
the railroad company; nor with the
| State Board Of Health, unless 1t Is
I responsible for the passage Of the
absurd law. The legislature Is to be
blamed for not repeating the obnox-
ious act, after 1t had been demon
| strated that the regulations could
not be impartially enforced.
at Is a fact that but little atten-
ton Is given to the '~anti-common
cup law by the large corporations.
| Passengers on railroad trains are the
sufferers. Even in the State House
1t is openly violated daily, and there
has been no evidence that 1t has &C
complished the slightest benefit to
anyone. A repeater should be intro
duced and passed at the opening OF
the next session of the Legislature

TECHNICALTTIES IN THE LAW.

Following the announcement that
powerful politicians have come to the
aid Of Becker, the indicted police
lieutenant charged with the murder
of Herman Rosenthal. In New York,
we find that lawyers employed in the
defense Of Becker have suddenly pro-
duced some te~chnicalities In the law
whereby further procedure against
the accused man is held up.
It has often been said, to the dis
credit of American judicial proceed
ure, that If a mar has money enough
he can escape from almost any
charge Of which he may be accused
1t must be admitted that there are
many evidences of the truth of this
statement.
Becker, alone and friendless
would soon be placed on trial and
probably his guilt or Innocence
would be promptly determined
| Since political influences are brought
into play, however, the lawyers find
plenty Of technicalities at hand and
the judges are ready to listen tc
them so as to delay the wheels OF
justice and cause as many compiled.

Granted that the treaty itself says
that the canal shall be opened to all

United States, which owns the canal,
just as the publishers of the New

In the convention which nominated

Senator White of California was per
manent chairman. Bryan was the sec

Some interesting facts are grouped In
recollectons of two national Democrat
ic conventions In the convention that
nominated Franklin Pierce and W. X.
King at Baltimore in June, 1852. of
which John w. Davis of Indiana was
permanent chairman, Jefferson Davis
received eleven votes from the Illinois
delegation for vice president, 1t is n
curious bit of political history that the
later president of the Confederacy
should have received such vote from
a northern state.
In the convention which nominated
Buchanan and Breckenridge at Cincin,
natl in June 1856, four candidates were
placed in Observation-Disclosures, Cass,
Pierce and Douglas-in the shortest
nominating speeches ever delivered.
The four speeches made exactly sew

was present when he was nominated

and later accepted The permanent
chairman of this convention was John

The Longest Session.

1t IS the custom to select as perma-
ton a man who is in Office at the time.
The Democratic conventions have OBJ
served this custom less frequently than
the Republicans In the convention
which nominated Cleveland and Hen
bricks at Chicago in July, 1854, w, +.
Villas was presiding officer. In the con
veutiou which nominated Cleveland at
St Louis in Juno 1883, P. A. Collins
of Boston, who had never held any
important elective office, was perma-
nent chairman.
1t is common political error to re-
fer TO the Chicago convention Which
nominated Garfield and Arthur as that
which had the longest session. That
convention was in session seven days.
The Charleston couvention of 1860, in
which the Democrats met, was in SEES
sion in that city ten days. Caleb Cush-
ing of Massachusetts was permanent
chairman. As Is known TO political
students, that convention failed to
nominate and adjourned to meet at
Baltimore two months later, on June
IS There it nominated Douglas and
Johnson, the latter of Georgia But
there was another Democratic conven-
ton held by the seceders from the
Charleston convention, which also met
at Baltimore a few days later, on June
%, and nominated Breckenridge and
Lane.
The national Republican convention
Of the same year met at Chicago in
May and nominated Lincoln and Ham
lin. George Ashman of Massachusetts
was permanent CHAIRMAN of that body,
and Horace Greeley appeared as a dele
gate from Oregon 4.
Another Republican convention pre-,
coded the Lincoln aud Hamlin con
vention four years 1t met in Phila-
dephia in June, 1876, and nominated

LATE SENATOR NIXON HAD
ADVENTUROUS CAREER.
His Own Story of How He Was Held
Up by Bank Robbers.

United States Senator George S. Nix
on of Nevada, who died recently, was
born on farm in Placer county, Cal,
fifty-two years ago. Farmer boy, tele-
graph operator, railroad agent, banker
mine owner and rancher were the sue
cessive steps in his career. He enter
ed the employ of the Southern Pacific
when he was nineteen years old and
studied telegraphy. After four years
he took a position with the Carson and
Colorado railroad for a year, after
which the president of the First Ma
tional bank of Reno, a personal friend,
offered him a position in the bank,
He held this place for two years and
then helped to organize the First Ma
tional bank of Winnemucca, of which
he was cashier and manager until 1901,
when he was elected president. He
quickly identified himself with land re
claiming and ranching companies and
also with the mining interests of Gold
field, Tonopah and other camps. lie
was a member of the Nevada state
legislature in 1891 and quickly forced
his way to the front as political lead
er, He was elected to the United
States senate in 1905 to succeed VII
liam NJ. Stewart He became chair
man of the seuates national banks tse-
lecD committee and also of the com
mittees on coast defenses, irrigation.
mines, transportation and others.
II was talking to a friend in the pri-
vate office of my bank in Winnemucca
in September, 1909" Senator Nixon
once remarked. suddenly the door
burst open with n crash, and a wild
looking man with a six shooter leaped
into the room and told us to hold up
our hands He walked us out into the
lobby of the bank where two other
men were holding the rest of the bank
employees up with rifles. The wild
looking man ordered me to open the
safe and when | made some excuse
drew knife and pressed it against my
throat. l opened the safe in a hurry
They took S32,0O in gold out of our
safes and, lining US up in the street,
jumped on their horses and dashed
away, shooting their rifles and pistols
in the air. Although pursued by
deputy sheriff on a switch engine, they
had the nerve to stop at my house,
three miles out of town, to get fresh
horses, The same gang robbed an ey
press car in Montana of $4,000 in IN
signed national banknotes a year later
and one of them was almost caught
trying to pass one Of the unsigned
bills in Nashville CTenn9 store, but
escaped after more gun play"

y IA y LIZ unexpected dGAudIiy OINui
Vi red at the Chicago convention
n OF 1880 that nominated Gar
field and Arthur This was q
remarkable convention In every way.
The demonstration for Grant-the third
term candidate of 30G unwavering del
egates-was never equaled in determi-
nation. Several times since the out
burst following q nomination, notice
ably that of Bryan and Of Roosevelt,
consumed more time, but the test Of
human endurance for shouting, sing
ing and all devices for creating noise
by lung power was that started by the
speech of Roscoe Conkling, in which
Grant was placed before the conven-
ton.
Nevertheless, in spite of the roar,
the nomination of the presidential can
didate went to a man for whom no
nominating speech was made, and
when Arthur was offered as candi-
date for nomination for second place
the delegates of the middle west and
the northwest asked who he was He
was not known outside of New York
and adjacent states. He was nominal
ed. Both nominees of one convention
became president
Only two permanent chairmen of ma
tional conventions We're ever nominal
ed for president-Seymour and McKin-
ley. The first was named in the con-
ventiOn over which he was presiding
In New York city. He vacated the
chair while the ballot was being taken.
but returned to decline the honor which
was later thrust upon him, That was
In 1888. He was also the permanent
chairman of the convention that nomi-
mated Mcclellan and pendleton in Chi.
cago in 1864.
Pendleton was delegate to that
convention, and when he received the
nomination as vice presidential candl-
date he accepted from the platform.
Mckinley was permanent chairman
of the convention that nominated Har-
rison and Reid in Minneapolis in 1892
Four years later Mckinley won thu
presidential nomination at the st. Louis
convention.

Lodges Distinction.

The only Republican United States
senator now living who was permanent
chairman of his pHrtys convention is
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts. The
way he adjourned the convention that
nominated Mckinley and Roosevelt is
a story In itself The only hurrah in
that Philadelphia convention followed
the naming of Theodore Roosevelt.
The work of the convention was over.
Chairman Lodge was standing at his
desk waiting for the "amen' motion,
Delegates We're scrambling to get out
of the hall; the crowd had gone. Sen.
ator Plat of New York had fallen
asleep in his chair in the front row.
Representative Serene Payne was try
ing to restore him to waking CON
seriousness. Chairman Lodge looked
down upon the scene and Immediately
took the cue.
"On motion of Representative Payne,
which is seconded, the convention
stands adjourned said Senator Lodge.
He struck the table with his gavel,
picked up his hat and left the plat
form.
