Joe Explains.

The EXAMINER has received the
following from Senator Jue Rich.
In connection with it we will say
that when an article referred to was
written we did not know who in
PRODUCED the bill, and understood
that the Bear Lake representatives
were against the measure. We
had no intention of placing any
member in false position nor do
we intend to, but the bill was so
outrageously expensive that we
could not refrain from expressing
our sentiments on the subject.
The EXAMINER does not doubt but
the Bear Lake representatives will
do the square thing by the people,
but little critism cannot be out
of place, especially in regards to
matters that effect the whole
people as does the proposed school
bill.
The only difference between
Brother Joe and the EXAMINER, on
legislative matters, is, that we be-
lieve in kicking before a bill be-
comes law, if it is detrimental,
than to wait till after the legisla-
tive has passed it and then suffer
two years before relief can be had.
Here is what he says:-
EDITOR EXAMINER II see you have
some detectives to a school bill Of which
/ am the reputed daddy" Now the
truth is that bill is the emination of ouI
past and present state superintendent
public instruction, and they asked me
simply to introduce it, which did "by
request" courtesy always extended
state officials, and IN the introduction
in no manner committed myself to iti
approval. You must understand legis
lative procedure in these matters, anG
ought to find out facts before placing
me in false position. The probability
is that bill introduced, by the time il
gets through the committee of the
whole, its author would be unable tc
identify it. In order to Judge a legisla
tive measure one must wait until it ha
crystalized into law, after which the
kicks are in order.
Now when this session of 1.-THE legisla
ture is over shall not be ashamed Il
meet my constituents on every pro-
position here that l support or con-
denim, and every vote we make is re
corded, and all we ask>Is to be judged
according to the record. Ispeak of thi
because people are hasty to form 9
judgment by newspaper information
that frequently fails to properly repre-
sent the facts.
Various measures are now pending il
the Senate and House covering abou
all the wants of our section and we hop,
TO have adopted the measures we need
Hoping the foregoing may have tn,
effect of not prejudging our actions.
am very Respectfully,
j. G. Rich"

BY JOHN McELROY.

The waxen white blossoms of the red puccoon
grew so thickly on rich beds of decayed
leaves as to suggest a fall of warm, genial
snow. A rich carpet of blue violets and
deep-colored pansies spread around the feet
of the stern rocks, whose Winter frowns were
masked by festoons of blooming vines. Thick
curtains of new green leaves hid the soaring
gulches. Every tree in the lower lands sent
from its opening leaves a sweet breath of
fragrance to meet the balsamic incense float
ing down from the pines on the mountain
tops Birds of every note sang amid the
branches and the vivacious catbird mimicked
each in turn.
"This is one of the Lords own days." said
