St. Rita is the patroness of the temporal wants, sometimes called the saint of good luck, and the Novena is held for nine days, preceding the feast of the saint." At a New York dinner Governor Fort of New Jersey charged that the New Jersey senate was in the control of the corporations. The senate has appointed a committee requesting the -governor to appear before it and he will be called to account. will Include Judge Martin J. Wade of Iowa City for governor and Sen ator B. G. Moon of Ottumwa' for lieutenant governor. Early this eve ning at a conference of many of the most prominent members of the gen eral conference of yesterday it was decided that Wade and Moon should be urged to make tho race in tho in terests of the democratic party of the state: Difficulty was anticipated in including Judge Wade to make tho race, as he has steadfastly de clined to enter politics for office since his retirement from congress. S. H. Bashor of Waterloo already has filed his nomination papers, doing it on the eve of the conference." Tho republicans of tho Thirty second New York district have nom inated George W.

A San Juan, Porto Rico, dispatch carried by tho Associated Press says: "William J. Bryan, who is touring tho island, took occasion today to de ny certain reports which have reached him as to his intentions on returning to the United States. He smilingly declined to say what he would do, but declared himself on some of tho things he would not do. He said he would not start a prohi bition paper, and he would not be a candidate for the senate. The change in the rules committee of the house of representatives, he added, 'pleases me.'

Democrats of Iowa held a success- He has been greeted by large crowds ful banquet at Des Moines, April 8. at the various towns in Porto Ricp, An Associated Press dispatch, from through which he lias passed. Last 'DesMoines says: "Certain defeat "for tlie republican party in Iowa next November is the prediction of the "democratic leaders gathered in Des Moines today from every corner of the state. Tonight's annual dinner of the Jefferson memorial banquet club furnished the ostensible object of the roundup of the party leaders, but the true reason for the unusually large gathering of the faithful is .found in the general desire for a party conference to discuss the early plans for the coming campaign. Chairman Price and all of the mem bers of the state committee were in attendance. The democrats profess to regard the outlook for their suc cess next fall as unusually bright. Their hopes, are based largely on the serious dissensions in the republican ranks. Iowa is now regarded as a 'progressive' state. Her senators took the lead in the tariff fight, and were backed by insurgent congress men from several districts. It has been practically settled that an effort will be made to elect, insurgent re publicans in congressional districts represented by standpatters. But whether a fight shall be made on governor and other state officers has not been definitely determined. It is believed by many progressives that they should keep hands off state offices. Perhaps Just as many insist that a campaign should be made to oust Governor Carroll, who, it Is con ceded, will be a candidate for re nomination before the June prima ries. Leading democrats are of the opinion that if tho factional warfare of tho republicans extends to the state offices a democratic victory is certain to result. The democratic ticket will be named at the state con vention to be held In Ottumwa tho last week of July. Tlie republican convention is to meet in Des Moines one week later. At the democratic banquet here tonight Governor Shal lenberger of Nebraska was the prin cipal speaker. If the democrats who inet here in conference today have their way about It, their state ticket Robert W. Patterson, editor-in-chief of the Chicago Tribune, and his mother, Mrs. Julia A. Patterson, died on the same day recently and a joint funeral was held at tho Patter son residence in Chicago. LEGISLATIVE REFORMS William C. Archer of Athens, 0., writing to tho Ohio Journal of Com merce, says: Permit mo to suggest a plan of procedure in the conduct of legisla tive business which, I think, is an improvement upon tho present method. There should bo at least three ses sions of tho legislature with recesses of not less than six months. At the first session lot all bills be intro duced. Allow time for explanation and discussion. Then an adjourn ment for six months should follow. During this time the voters of tho state may become acquainted with proposed legislation and each legisla tor can have time to consult with his constituency. At the second ses sion allow the introduction of amend ments with opportunity for their ex planation and discussion. Tho dis- evening he delivered a lecture at tho cussion at this session may cover the On April 8 at 2 o'clock in the morning two masked bandits at tempted to hold up the Chicago, Mil waukee & St. Paul railroad "Pioneer Limited" train from Chicago to St. Paul. An Associated Press dispatch says: "The men boarded tho train at New Lisbon, Wis., getting in by way of the forward vestibule of the front sleeper, which had been left open when the conductor took his orders to the engineer. The men passed through the front sleeper into the rear vestibule of the car, locking both doors of the vestibule. When Conductor Shnmway passed through the train he was stopped . by the locked vestibule door. Unlocking the door he was Instantly confront ed by revolvers held by two masked figures. Conductor Shumway leaped at the larger of the bandits. A tus sle followed in which the railroad man was overpowered. One robber then reached down under the steps and cut the air connection, stopping the train. The men then jumped off and fled. The men escaped into the swamps. Sleeping Car Conductor Mills was in the third sleeper when Porters J. H. Matthews and William J. Johnson dashed in saying the train was being held up. Conductor Shum way was grappling with one of the men in the sleeper Ontanagon. Por ter Johnson obtained a revolver and fired twice after the men." Sixteen officials of the window glass trust were indicted at Pittsburg. An Associated Press dispatch from Philadelphia says: "Capital punish ment for dealers in cocaine was ad vocated tonight by Dr. Henry Beates, Jr., president of the Pennsylvania state board of medical examiners In an address before the American so ciety for the study of alcohol and other drug narcotics. To kill a man terms of the entire bill. Then an other six months adjournment. At the last session allow further discussion but no further amend ment of any measure. Then should come the vote. By this plan the best features of the initiative and referendum would be applied to leglslatipn, there would be ample time for members to study tho bills and time for the people to register their op nions of tho pro posed laws. Then, too, would the haste and skulduggery of the closing days be avoided. My plan would not only limit the Introduction of bills to the first ses sion but it would also limit tho num ber of bills to be Introduced to ono for every member. This would pre vent the torrent of freak bills, silly bills, requested bills, foolish bills that fill the hoppers under the present methods. If some energetic member had more than ono Important meas ure to propose he could doubtless persuade a colleague to father it. Think how preposterous it is for millions of citizens, as in Ohio for instance, living in peace and order, having enacted anew every two years a largo book of additional regula tions for their civil conduct. Why, even the senators and representatives themselves are surprised beyond measure when they finally got home and read up what they have done. Many think the meeting of tho legislature a biennial calamity. This plan would make It a more efficient body of lawmakers. A PUZZLE An Irishman visited a tuberculosis exhibit, where lungs in both healthy and deceased conditions were dis played preservedin glass jars.
