LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS.

An amendment to the New York
constitution was introduced at yes
terdays session of the constitutional
convention to the effect that the leg
islature meet every two years. Mass
achusetts a short time ago refused
it felt it would be removing the gov
eminent a little farther from the
people. There were some in Con-
necticut a short time ago who ia
vored annual sessions, SO that it is
a bit difficult to determine just what
is the best thing to do in regard to
such matters. 1t must, however, be
plain to every one that the demands
of every state can be easily met by
biennial sessions and that state eX-
penses can be lowered by not coming
together so often. In Connecticut
the law specifies that the Legislature
shall end up it's work on or before
a certain time and were it not for that
provision the present session would
show no more evidence of adjourn
inc on May 49,, the date scheduled for
this year, than it did at the same
time a few years ago when adjourn
n7ent did not come until late in the
summer.
The statute books have become en-
numbered with so many laws that II
is doubtful if even the lawyers them
selves. know what they are. There
has been no revision of the statutes
| since 1902 and there is some opposi-
ton to it, being done now because
the cost is estimated at about $40
| 600. Once in two years is often
| enough for the legislature of any
] state to meet and there is law enough
1 now in most of them to last for even
a. longer period without creating any
suffering in any interest or in any
profession. Every conceivable sub
iect seems to have been touched upor
and some of the acts are SO long as
to render them difficult of interpre
tation. Revision may be costly but
it appears as if it will be a good piece
! OF work to have done.

The Bosses and the Colonel.
(Washington Starr

No politician in the country can
be otherwise than amused by Mr..
Roosevelt's deliverances against
bosses. In the language of the
drawing room, they are just too funny
for anything. 1t was Satan who
introduced the droll fashion of re-
buking sin in quarters where it seems
a familiar if not a welcome guest
Some of the deliverances, however,
are funnier than others. Take the
one relating to Mr.. Penrose. That,
in the lingo of the theater, is a
scream"
According to Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.
Penrose was recommended to him for
national campaign manager in 1904.
Mr.. Penrose says he was not an as
pirant for the place, and has heard
now for the first time of the rec
omm endation. But Mr.. Roosevelt
declares the recommendation was
made, and that he turned it down
because Mr.. Penrose was a boss Of
the kind be disapproved. He would
not permit his campaign. to be man.
aged by such man.
But did that rule Mr.. Penrose out
of the game entirely that year?
Bless you, no. He took charge of
the campaign in Pennsylvania, where
he belonged and could hope to be
of service, and was of SO much ser
vice that he rolled up a majority
approaching half a million for the
republican national ticket. Did this
anger Mr.. Roosevelt? Did he show
hesitation about accepting the fruits
of Mr.. Penrose's activity? Bless you,
no! He not only accepted them, but
in the heartiest terms thanked Mr..
Penrose for what he had done. He
was dee-lighted with the Pennsylvania
returns.
Had Mr.. Penrose managed the ma
tional campaign, would his methods
have differed materially from those he
employed to carry his own state? Prob
ably not. He would simply have
studied the different states, as would
have been his duty, for pointers as
to how best to advance the fortunes
of his party. AS a boss he would
simply have spread out, becoming Il
national instead of A state quantity that
year. And would that have been as
acceptable to Mr.. Roosevelt as was the
Penrose achievement in Pennsylvania

language of the boys" it sure would

CABARET TO 60.

The proprietors of the New York
restaurants have practically decided
to abandon the cabaret because of
the expense. The cabaret was the
natural outgrowth of the music at
meals in the big restaurants and no.
tells and when the singer came there
was an apparent demand for some
thing new and a vaudeville enter
tainment in a sense was provided.
The proprietors have now begun to
realize that the expense has become
too heavy and there isn't anything
left for them to do but to cut out
the cabaret. 1t is being claimed
that the change will be welcomed
because the show had become some
thing of an annoyance, it being al
most impossible for diners to engage
in conversation on account OF the
noise, for when it was not singing IL
was another form of entertainment,
all of which had ceased to be as en-
tertaining as when first introduced.
All this must have added to the cost
of the meal which was high enough
without the frills. An orchestra

and vet it has never been known to
affect the appetite of the diners.
In some of the large New York
restaurants a seven-course dinner was
l,oT
ance thrown in, the charge being
seventy-fve cents, which but for the
might be purchased for less
money and it is the low figure which
in a majority of cases which would
have been the most attractive. In some
places the point has been. raised to to
whether a cabaret performance is not
a theatrical performance within the
meaning of the law and If so the
question is being asked why the res
taurants should not pay the full IL
cense fee. Such a point would not
have been thought of were it not for
the elaborateness of the show given.
The plan to eliminate the stage from
the restaurants is regarded as time
ly and may result in a decrease IN
prices and will certainly be rellet
TO the nerves of the diners. The
show did not help the person at the

ioy his soup unaccompanied with
song in which he had no interest.

Errors in Newspapers.
(1CWa Republican,

The capacity of some people for de-
tecting errors in the newSpape is
marvellous. Also it is singular how
many unexpected meanings these
people can find.

wore a coat of such and such char

if the coat was all the man had on q?
To satisfy these literalists you must
enumerate item by item the other
articles of attire, or they will accuse
YOU of making the victim half naked.
The reader who digests his paper on
the quiet in his home feels that he has
shown great brilliancy if he detects an
error in grammar or capitalization.
It is one thing to find mistakes at
your leisure in another mans work
cutie another to turn out a high
degree of accuracy and precision in
the haste of newspaper composition.
The banker makes blunders in his
Gsuresp the lawyer draws up incorrect
papers and the business man submits
erroneous bills. Such biunderS are
known only to the few persons whom
they concern. The newspaper is like

A Use for Napkin Rings.
New York Times.D

1t is understood that the National
American Woman Suffrage associa-
ton takes just pride in the oppor-
tunity it has afforded to its members
to dispose of their supert1uous napkin
rings, which is to say all the napkin
rings they possess. The whole melt
ing-pot plan fires the imagination. In
Germany the women and children are
bestowing upon the government all
the copper and iron heirlooms of the
land to be transformed into ammuni-
ton. But the suffragists here, like
the matrons of the stored past, like
fairly tearing from their fair arms
and fingers and bodiCes the gold and
silver ornaments which have adorned
them in order to raise money to carry
on their bloodless war. The sacrifice
is splendid and as the rings, brooches,
chains, gold mesh bags, and orna-
mental combs are tumbled into the
melting pot these contributors to the
cause cannot fail to feel the thrill of
joy that is often the only recompense
of true heriosm.
But for the napkin rings They are
relics of a departed age. reminders of
the era of the Saturday night bath,
the Old Folks Concerts, and the
painted panoramas of the Nile. They
abide now in out-of- the-way corners,
furnished and forgotten bands of old
silver, often affectionately inscribed
at the command of givers long since
turned to dust. They are the sort of
reminders of gentler but less fasti-
dious generation that we do not like
to part with except for some good
reason and have no desire to keep.

Times and the Man.
waterbury American }

It has been said of John Bunny
that he possessed the best known face
in the world. Certainly more people
will feel a personal, sorrowful inter-
est in his death than would be
similarly affected by the death of any
other human being.
The London Saturday Review once
said of him:
When Mr.. Bunny laughs, people
from San Franscio to Stepney Green
laugh with him. When Mr.. Bunny
frowns, every kingdom on the earth
is contracted in one brow of woe
When he smells a piece of Gorgonzola
cheese there is no doubt whatever
that his nose has been seriously offend
ed. His despair in incredible. His
grief is uncomfortable. His wrath is
apoplectic. His terror is the panic
OF whole army.
Yet, had John Bunny been born
fifteen years earlier he would have
died an obscure. if excellent portrayer
of comedy roles upon the legitimate
stage and few except his immediate
friends would have known or cared.

Business and Government.
milwaukee, Journal.)

The Wilson administration has sue
ceeded in winning the confidence of
business men to such an extent. that
the chamber of commerce of the
Tilted States has appointed a commit
tee to hold intimate conference with
the new trade board and help to put
the new business laws into effect with
as little friction as possible.
The old idea of Big Business was to
sit back and lambast "the govern
ment" and everything it did. whether
good or bad. There was much bah
bling about the "hounding and perse-
cution of Big Business" Captains Of
industry opposed all laws and all regu-
iation until driven to the last ditch
and then accepted, in a reluctant, an
tagonistic mood, these new laws.
There was no attempt to give govern
5nent assistance in framing construc-
tive laws. though they gave plenty of
help in the way of laws that put
money into their pockets-tariff laws,
for instance. Either Big Business
would have whole hog or. none"
Esther write the laws, Or fight them.
How much better the new policy is
to have governmental agencies solving
questions of legality and morality of
trade methods in advance. Given a
trade board whose motives and pur-
poses are dominated by integrity and
good sense, it is safe for the country
to entrust to it vast powers of in
dividual discretion. The swift, silent
way of submitting mooted trade prob
lens to federal umpire bent upon
doing justice to all concerned, from
the manufa ctrrfer to the consumer,
should mean a new era of good feel
! ing among business men and un-
| eXampled prosperity for all.

Bout a-wakin' you up that way at

And all for foolish notion: SO

Then L tip-toed to your bedside, where

Was a-lyin' crost the cover of your

And a-siftin yellow gold-dust on your
little tousled head;
Then l took my two hands, this way
and 1 give the bed shake,
Till I almost turned you over; but
but you didn't even wake
Then I rubbed your touseled curls up,
and you gave a little blink,
And you yawned and stretched and
curled up and you said, Me

So I turned away and left you. lying
in pink-white heap,

When l came back with the tumbler;
then l tickled you, and then
You laughed till your sides were

Till your big eyes slowly opened and
you gave your dad Il look,
And you looked at me the longest, and
you blinked some in the light,
Then you snuggled to the pillow and
curled up and said, "Dood night!'
But I'd promised you I'd do 1t, so L

And l took you downstairs with me,
in your little nightie dressed.
With your little shoes and stockings
clasped up tightly to your breast,
And I put you in your high-chair,
and your mother came, and she
Stopped a moment when she saw you,
and she flung a look at me.
And tell you that look scared me for
a little bit a while,
But when she had looked a moment
her lips curved into a smile.
And when I went off and left you, for
my labor in the town,
You was settin' in your high-chair
with wour head a-bendin' down,
And your eyes shut and a bread-crust
clasped tight in your tiny fist,
And you only stirred a little when you
felt yourself get kissed
And I went away and left you with
my kisses on your head,
And I almost know your mother went
an took you back to bed
When I'd gone; but I've been happy
