This will, In case the award should exceed amount offered, be much collectable being obliged to pay out a sum that night be. exhorbitant on the caprice or judgment of those whose interests In this matter are naturally adverse to those of the vil- lage.

The members of the Legislature are iketting tired of paying raliroad fares [to go home every week and back the | next week. It is not surprising. {things are so different from what they fused to be The railroads do not know how the {trouble is to be remedied, they need the money and make everybody pay {fare. But some of the legislators think they have a way to fix it. They have found that in New Jersey the rallroads are required by law to give | passes members of the Legisla- {ture and other officials. aud in that {way they are under no obligations to {the railroads, it having been particu- {larly observed, of that the {railroads have no in New to course, influence Jersey It is suggested, therefore, that the isame plan shall be adopted in Penn- isylvania, and that the railroads shall be compelled by law to let the legis- |lators ride home and back every week without charge. They would then feel Just as free as they now do to jreduce fares, enact a railroad cow- mission, resurvey the lines with a view to*feducing the mileage. and do all the other things the railroads don't | want them to do But what would they give for the free passes” If the railroads are not to get anything out of {t who 18? Clearly It would be the leg- |islator himself, and what he got would be in the nature of additional {compensation, which is forbidden by |the Constitution. He is to receive no his salary and in return ‘compensation {mileage and neither can be increased |during his term | And If such a law were enacted the {unfeeling raliroad companies would be likely to barricade themselves be- {hind that provision of the Constitu- *itlon which forbid them to issue free | passes We fear {in hard luck except the legislators are “Big Game.” This Is the title of a_ very famous | picture drawn by Charles Dana Gib- son Many thousand prints from this {original have been sold at $2.00 each | The picture shows the famous “Gibson Girl” _upon bended knee, with Cupid before her with drawn bow.
