The Part O'Neal Might Play

Governor ONeal might play a conspic-
uous part should there be a constitu-
tional convention during his administra-
ton. As one of the leaders in the con-
vention of 1901, prominent in every inn
portant debate, and thoroughly familiar
with the various questions under con-
sideration al that time. it has been point
ed out that he would have a great oppor-
tunity to establish many of the needed
constitutional reforms should a conven-
tlon be assembled during his admins
tration.
Those who advocate a constitutional
convention declare that Governor O. Neal
with his rare ability as an orator could
go before the people OF the state and in
series of addresses secure favorable
consideration of the various constitu-
tional changes which are needed. 1t has
been suggested that he be made an ex-
officio member OF the convention. should
one be called. which would enable hin,
to take part in debate. and to work as
one of the members for the enactment
of needed reforms.
Whether or not Governor O'Neal has
given much thought to the question OF
calling constitutional convention is NOT
known. though he has declared that the
present constitution is defective, and that
in his opinion il will not be long before
a convention is called together. The gov.
ernor sees the. need, and If the time for
such convention should become ripe
during his administration, there is nc
doubt but that he would rise to the oc.
cason. bending every energy toward the
accomplishment of reform and toward the
perpetuation of many of those principles
for which his administration stands.

people-a legislature which is a true or
gan of an enlightened public opinion. =.
Continuing, he declared: We should re-
store the biennial system, and with longer
terms"
Views Meet With Favor
The views of Governor O'Neal with. re-
spect to biennial sessions have met with
favor by people all over the state and
next to the Importance of local taxation
for the support of public schools it is
believed that this subject deserves con-
sideration.
But constitutional convention would
probably so farther toward reforming
the states lawmaking system. Thoughtful
political leaders are now coming to the
conclusion that the state has too MANY
legislators: that the members of the two
houses should be elected by districts.
rather than by counties, and that the
members of the legislature should receive
an annual salary together with per
diem for service rendered. rather than
the compensation which they now receive.
Governor O'Neal is believed to favor
the plan of electing legislators by dis
tricts. thus cutting down the represen
tatives in the general assembly to about
one-half their present number. and he

pensation system.

could bring about many other changes
that are considered imperative. II could

and it could make provision for a bud

1t is known that lawyers throughout
the state consider the constitution of
1901 defective In a great many respects.
To the enormous amount of detail which
| 1t prescribes all legislative enactments,
a method which is considered cumber-
some, is laid the blame for many tech
nical reversals, and it has been pointed
out that not only could a constitutional
convention effect some important changes
in the method of legislative procedure,
but 1t could at the same time bring
about many of the judicial reforms which

WEST ALEXANDRIA, o., March %.
Bert Coleman, division superintend-
emit of the Ohio Electric with ten of
his workmen have been marooned on
top of a work car in eight feet of wa
ter since six o'clock last evening.
They are drenched to the skin, and
without food. All attempts to rescue
them have SO far failed, bat another
attempt will be made this evening to
get life line to them. 1t is planned
to draw them ashore with teams of
horses if the track will bear the
weight of the car. If the track is
washed out, they will be thrown into
the water and be forced to swim. They
want this attempt made and are will
ing to take their chances with the
water rather than starve ON their sup
port. There seems to be no chance
that the water will go down.
At six o'clock Monday evening, the
men were repairing a damaged trolley
wire east of this city, when the big
levee broke. The water rushed about
the car, forcing those on ground to
mount the far. The water rose to
eight feet about them, and has main.

SAVED BY A GHOST.

Curious Story of Speeter and ths
Lonely Yorkshire Moors.
1t is not often that we hear Of a
ghost saving a mans life. There is.
however, an instance, and it seems to
be tolerably well authenticated. and
materialists win hardly know how to
account for it. Here is the story. 1t
is of the Yorkshire dales and Of a good
many years ago.
wild country. where a strong race of
men and women lived principally on
bacon and oatcake, used to ride or
walk to visit the people. He had been
raising a subscription in a time of
scarcity and had to be out late at night.
One evening on his outward journey
he suddenly became aware Of figure
moving beside him, and in the gloam-
ing he recognized his brother, who had
died some time before. He was too
awestruck for words, and after keep
ing by his side for some distance over
the lonely moor the figure disappear
ed. He noted the time and the vision.
but nothing occurred to throw any light
upon 1t.
However, some years after he had
taken the duty at Jail In another part
Of the country one of the prisoners ly-
ing under sentence desired to make a
confession. After telling him OF lot
Of crimes he said: Il wor very near
once taking your life. sir. 1t was in
that bad year. and ! heerd as how you
went carrying money about in those
lonesome dales. / hid behind the big
powders of the brown moor. / saw
you coming up and waited till you
should be near enough. but that night
you were not alone"
This is startling tale and the
stronger because the vision or what
ever it was was seen by two people.
The anecdote occurs in an article TWEEN.

HURT WHEN A
PART OF HOUSE
FLOOR FALLS

Mrs. Henry Rodgers was Sc
verely injured late yesterday aft
ernoon when the east wall of the
two-story brick building on
Bridge avenue, formerly the pa
per mill, but now occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Rodgers, fell. Mrs.
Rodgers was sitting in rocking
chair, watching the raging tor
rents which swept by almost be-
meath her window, when the wall
waved and tumbled. She was
thrown into the debris, and the
furnishings of the room tumbled
about her in a mass of wreckage.
She was pinned in the wreckage
but employees of the Rumely
plant nearby rushed to the scene
and Charles Carol rescued her
from her precarious position.
A broken ankle and torn and
strained ligaments of both limbs
were suffered by the aged wom-
an. She was reported as resting
comfortably at the home of a
neighbor where she was taken,
after her home was ruined.
Practically everything owned by
Rodgers with the exception of two
cows and a small number of chickens,
was destroyed by the river and the
storm of yesterday.
Sunday the high winds tore the iron
roof from the building, allowing the
water to ruin large part of their
household furnishings. When the
building collapsed yesterday, practi-
cally all the remaining household
goods were ruined, either being brok-
en- or soaked with water. About one
are floating down the Whitewater
river, and his poultry loss will be
heavy.
Rodgers is optimistic, and says he
is better off than those people out IN
Omaha" Neighbors are sheltering
the homeless couple. Rodgers is an
employee of the Rumely company and
has occupied his home here for sew
eral months. He secured his wife
through an advertisement in the want
columns of the Palladium.
Cecil Killing, 317 North Fifth street
was among the volunteers in the af-
ternoon. In helping to save a large
number of chickens belonging to Mrs.
Henry Rodgers. the boy slipped and
fell. The current caught him and
threatened to carry him to the middle
of the river With the aid of small
boat he manager to get out of the
stream. Killing was insensible for
half an hour before medical atten-
ton was given him. Several stitches
were necessary to close the wound
caused by being struck in the fore
head by floating box.
