WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. g.
Congressional investigation OF the
judicial conduct Of Judge Aston G.

made and the details OF the method o;
the investigation were being discussed

The judiciary committee has prac-
Ideally decided TO recommend an In
vestigation OF Judge Dayton's Of
fetal conduct, and the question I'M
der consideration when the adjourn
ment was taken till later in the day
was whether the committee should
recommend an immediate inyestiga-
ton to be concluded before the end
OF the present session OF the Con-
gress, or whether it should recon-
mend the appointment OF commits
mission to sit during the interval
between this Congress and the meet
ing of the next one, and report to the
next Congress.
The probability is that an effort
will be made to have the inyestiga-
ton concluded and the finding of the
House announced. before the fourth
OF March. In case impeachment
should result, the present House
could inpeach. and the Senate could
conduct the impeachment proceed
ings at the next session. The House
judiciary committee has had the in
vestigation under consideration eyer
since Congressman Nicely offered his
resolution calling for an investiga-
ton, several months ago. The adop-
ton of his resolution will be recon-
mended by the committee today I'M
less there is some further hitch in
the proceedings.

passed by vote of 50 to %.
The public service commission bill
similar to the one in the Senate, and
which was under confederation when
the House adjourned Saturday, was
passed by vote Of A to 49,. It pro-
vides that the governor shall appoint
three commissioners. The present
commission is composed of four. All
three may be Republican.
The five special orders for this
morning were continued until after
noon.
In the Senate the congressional re-
|districting bill was reported fayorably
by the committee and the supreme
court bill was rejected because the
House fixed the salaries of the court
messenger and the librarian. Later
the House receded from this position,
leaving the bill again in the hands
of the Senate. The bill provides that
all sessions Of the supreme court
shall be held In Charleston.

struggles for people to arrange their
relations justly, define their duties
fully, and decide on the arrangement
of their households, properly. We
must realize that service is the true
test for a nation as we'll as for indi-
viduals. We can look hopefully to the
future, for the spirit of service IS
abroad in the land, as this is the day
of the rising value Of the human ele-
ment of society,-the realization OF
the abstract truth expressed by our
fathers, that the object of government
is to protect life, give liberty, and in
crease happiness, and that system is
best which serves humanity best, and
best fits humanity for service to hu-

SOCIAL INSURANCE AN AID TO
SOCIAL JUSTICE.

The idea of social insurance, writes
Henry w. Bullock in the October Case
and Comment, is born out of human
misery. which ought not to be, and is
fostered by the spirit of justice. We
realize that the standard of justice
which measures up to our highest
maxims cannot be attained without
state aid-the joint efforts of all for
whose benefit many struggle and may
suffer; otherwise abuses will follow
and inefficient systems prevail. The
nation has the power and duty to
carry on the work of social justice.
Men collectively can do all that can be
done by individuals, and even more,
as the power of the state is more than
the sum of the power of all individ-
uals. The state is an organism, and
not an accretion. The state is the ex-
ternal manifestation of the ideals and
relations of its members. The ex-

Globe Sights
BY THE ATCHISON GLOBE.

A day that has few annoyances is a
poor business day.
A man often takes down spirits to
raise up his spirits.
Don't you hate people who are al
ways boasting of their firmness?
And some men who were driven to
drink didn't have far to retreat.
The only decent braggart is the
man who brags about his home town.
A man who doesn't say a great deal
is apt to be a pretty decent sort of a
fellow.
For every man who can be de-
pended upon you will find a dozen who
can't be.
In a public effort a man can do
fairly well, and then feel ashamed of
himself.
A woman has a right to become de-
spondent when the kitchen range gets
to smoking.
A woman sleeps soundly all night,
AMI the next morning she says she
didn't sleep at all.
Perhaps the most tiresome public
man is he who is always challenging
someone to debate.
1t is said an Atchison man is los
ing his eye sight because he has been
watching the skirts too closely.
We see by the fashion magazines
that the hustle is coming back, which
is probably where it belongs
Sometimes it seems that every home
should have a pout room, where any
member of the household could go
and pout to his or her hearts content.

WHERE N1AJoRITIEs RULE NOT

New York state happens to present
the spectacle of a commonwealth
where it is impossible for a majority
of the people to rule, were they dis
posed to pull together for that pur-
pose. Latest census returns show that
the Empire state has a population of
9,773,S17, and of which number no
less than 5,066,22 live in the city of
New York. But for many years there
has been a provision in the states
constitution, and it is retained in the
recently revised one that is to be sub
mitted to the voters this fall, to the
effect that no political division of the
state shall have a representation in
the legislature, which, in the aggre-
gate, would be a majority of that body.
On the basis of population, New York
city would be entitled to such a legiS-
lative majority. But "a constitutional
mandate denies it this right, and this
provision of the constitution, by the
way, was conceived for this very pur-
pose. So in the state of New York
there is the rather anomalous situa-
ton now where 4,707,595 people, the
states population outside of New York
city, have a larger voting power in
respect to the conduct of the affairs
of state than do the 5,O66,222 people
who dwell in Greater New York.

Young people about to be married,

Outside of summer fiction and the
early chapters of the best sellers such
nppellations seldom break in upon the
disouietude of married life. Really
and truly married people much prefer
wrangling and conremptuous persi-
flage. The fundamental purpose of
nnatrimony is the establishment of
