THE LATE LEGISLATURE.

THE LATE LEGISLATURE.
AS the people begin to learn
what was done BY the last South
Dakota legislature a better feeling
is rapidly growing. They find
that the Legislature and admins
tration were basely maligned, slam
detel snd abused and that the ben
ehclal legislation accomplished
was rigidly edited out of the tele-
graphic dispatches sent out frcm
Pierre during the winter and i'm
mediately after the adjournment of
the session. 1t is gradually be-
coming we'll understood that the
late legislature was the least ex-
penslve in the history of the state
excepting the one of 1912, where
the populists controlled the house,
and that more good legislation Of
direct benefit to the public was
passed than during any II ses-
sion since the organization of the
commonwealth.
In ransacking their feeble brains
for some fault to fasten onto the
late legislature, it is amusing to OBJ
serve tie agony with which Rail
road Lobbyist Tomlinson of Sioux
Falls reproaches the populists be-
cause they promised to pass the
Wheeler bill, and then enacted the
Palmer bill. Let us see. This
Wheeler bill-admittedly a good
measure-was killed by the repub-
lican legislature of two years ago.
1t was introduced at the last SEES
sion, having been made stronger
and more perfect. The changes
made it a better bill for the people
and provoked Harry Hunter, a
railroad lobbyist, during the early
part Of the session to beg of one oil
the representatives of the measure
to pass the old original Wheeler
bill instead of the modified meas.
ure. "Pass the Wheeler BILL" he
said, "but don't, for Gods sake,
stick pitchforks into us!!' A few
days later the Sioux Falls Argus
Leader (rep.) edited as it was then
IN the lair of the railroad lobby,
came out in a double-leaded edi-
torlal urging the legislature to pass
the original Wheeler bill. If the
railroads have any fault to find it
is because the Wheeler bill in it's
original form vas not passed; bat
have the people any reason to
complain because the perfected
Wheeler bill, which later became
known as the Palmer bill, was
passed?
A good many other bills relating
to railroads, most of them intro
duced by republicans for the pur-
pose Of sand-baggiug the lobby for
passes or other f~avors, and some
OF them IN an attempt to put the
popullats Sin the hoie,'' were not
passed. Some Of them had merit
the most of them had none. The
people now have a general law fol

Sitting in any Stady to-day thinking OF
other days, thera flashed through my mind
the lame written at tie bead OF these few
words. \ name fresh in NY memory be-
caaSe of past events. Anna WAS IL" ENte

age. |, WAS my pleasure 70 form her ac-
Qua;ut;.ucc while visiting her SISTER u our
town She was lluk and pleasant GrI.
and always bore on her face an expression
Of honesty; ALWAYS wanting % DO What was
right.
Ny purpose in writing these iew lines
sacred ~ her ue,nory' Is to bung ont Il
Very pleasant conversation that had wiki
her ali alone Ii WAS one bright afternoon
that the news came to me that Alma is
sick at the houe OF Capt. D. J. Bradham.
LAID aside ny work and fastened to his
home. 1t was all still and quiet within,
10 sound could hear. No one came to
ADMIT re. all had stepped outa mcment.
Turning the door knob it qn!etiy opened,
and | taen beard a low childish voic. bid
ding me welcome to come in Through
the door that stood half njar saw the pale
face Of Alma entered the room all alone,
and there BY her bedside, | had one OF the
sweetest conversations that ever had. As
We talked l could but weep tears OF real
Joy. Taking her little thin hand, | said,
Alma are you a Christian:S Yes. she
replied Il have been for a long time a
mem Der of the Graham Baptist church. ;"
But said, you can be q member of the
church and still not be q Christian.
4 rather blank expression passed over
her face, and tAer looking upon me, she
said: Il DO not knew so we'll what is Q
Christian, but believe it IS one who loves
Jesus, and have loved him ever since |
was baptized, and l believe he loves me,
and if were to die Jesus would save me.
As saw the expression on hsr face, her
eyes noiStened with tears, could but
praise God for the plan OF salvation that
could fill child's soul and life with JOY
and complete resignation. The great
Spurgeon made no better answer to the
great question, care you Christian, when
he said, Il looked en- Him, He looked on
me and We were one forever. l sometimes
think of the many precious lives that end
III the arms of Jesus, and who are IN the
eyes Of the Son OF God, great in the KING
dom of Heaven, but on earth their names
are so soon forgotten. This great State OF
South Carolina to day mournS the loss OF
her great Senator. His death has been
flashed all over our country, words of sym
pathy come from far and near. He was
great. But the little girl whose name has
never found its way into the columns OF the
newspaper, and who 60, lies sleeping IN
the cold grave, and whose memory will
soon be forgotten, save IN the broken
hearts of father mother. sisters and broth
ers, was in the eyes Of GOO, as great as he.
Master, who is the greatest IN the King
dom of Heaven" Jesus brought little
child and placed it in their midst, saying,
'.of such is the Kingdom Of Heaven.
Sincerely,

The ho !. e that holds a cheerful temper IS
blessed With perpetual sunshine.
Our troubles look larger because We have
not lately looked at our blessings.
Kindness is precious OIL that makes the
crushing wheels OF care seem lighter.
The man who never faces eternity does
not know how to face anything properly.
In our age there caa be no peace that is
not honorable; there can be 40 war that is
not dlshonorable.
a wise man will desire no more than he
may get justly. use soberly, distribute
checrfully and leave contentedly.
One Of the mistakes in the conduct Of
human life is to suppose that other mems
opinions are to make Us happy.
War is on e of the greatest plaques that
can afflict humanity: 1t destroys religion, it
destroys families. Any scourse is prefer
able to It.
