CONTRIBUTING CAUSES.
Things That Helped Attain Good He
suIts-Lead i'm the House.

Republican leaders feared at the begin
ming of the session that the very slight Re
publican majority in the House would make
it difficult TO push business and get good
measures through. The large amount of
business put through has been due to the
fact that a dozen or more Democrats could
always be depended upon TO vote for good
measures and against bad ones in part to
the fact that members on both sides were
impatient of long MINDED speeches. in part
TO the fact that the speaker used the large
power given him by the rules of the House
TO facilitate business at every stage. and
in part TO the excellent leadership the Re-
publicans had upon the floor.
They had many strong men and during
the first month of the session ii was diff
cult 10 fOretell which among them would
develop the greatest strength. but i'm the
active work of the last three weeks this
place was pretty generally accorded 10 Rep
resentative Nicholson. Members very soon
got over the impression that Nicholson was
nothing more than temperance crank. -

Physicians Are JubiIant.

The local physicians were jubilant yes
terday when the Governor signed the med
ical BILL and they confident the effect
of 1t will be to give the profession through
out the State higher tone. Indiana is al
most the last of the sisterhood of States
TO adopt medical legislation, although re-
peated efforts have been made TO get bills
enacted. The physicians give the big bulk
of their praise 10 DR.. William y. Wishard
who has been at the head of the move
nent to secure legislation and who has
worked so indefatigaby and in such mas
terly manner to secure the enactment.

weeks from mushroom colleges from prac.
ticing in the State unless they can demon
strate by examination that they are prop
erly qualified.

Thanks for the Lieutenant Governor.
Senator BobiIya. of the minority in the
Senate yesterday offered resolution ex-
tending the thanks and appreciation of the
Senate for the courtesy and fairness of
Lieutenant Governor Haggard during the
present session. Senator Drummond
thought the presdiLg officer had been
uniformly fair and courteous. and said he
could speak of at least two or three in
cidents when he had been misrepresented
by one OF the newspapers. at least. Sena-
tor Ellison said that he felt that he could
not sit and express his sentiments by sim
ply voting for the resolution. but that he
ought to go a little further. If the lieu
tenant governor had ruled against anybody
IL had been as much against the other
side as against the Democratic. Senator
Humphreys also spoke of the fairness Of
the lieutenant governor towards the minor
ity, saying that he had been treated better
than he deserved The press and public
might regard il as a little strange for a
Democrat TO offer such a resolution. Sena-

his part. that the lieutenant governor had
done as near right as he could: i was
unreasonable to expect smooth sailing at
all times. especially when the presiding Of
hcer was of different politics from the
minority. and he confessed that the minor
ity had been a little contrary. He wanted
to add a word in appreciation of the lieu
tenant governors uniform courtesy and
fairness. Senator Nusbaum also spoke in
the same strain.

tenant governor, Ito express my gratitude
for the sentiment expressed in this reso-
luton. When / came to Indianapolis
