GOVERNOR AND LEGISLATORS.

The responsibility is theirs, il
legislators refuse to accept the con
ditions upon which Governor
Chamberlain offers to convene a
special session. The governor in
sists that legislation shall be con-
fined to a correction of the tax
Jaws, and that pledge to that eff
feet shall be made by representa-
tive legislators, or the call for the
session will not be issued. His
position is absolutely sound, and
his attitude most sensible, The
last session is but few months ex-
pired, and there is neither occasion
nor use for an extended season of
1awmaking at Salem. A session is
not needed to enact new laws. but
to correct bungle that the late ses-
sion made in new law it attempt
J ed to enact.
When once convened, the tempt.
alton to the members to plunge in
TO all manner of new schemes will
be great. To make new laws for
ones neighbors to obey is both
pleasant diversion and comfortable
job for wet winter weeks, It gives
men who think they are statesmen
opportunity to spellbind, and gives
men who are never heard of other
wise chanceto have the eyeso of a11lthe
state focused on them for brief, time
The opportunity to be the main
guys in the state house and have a
lobby of hangers-on at their coat
tails is JUNCTION to the souls of vain
members and profitable employ
ment for the mercenary.
All these kinds of people are in
the legislature, and. possibly
enough to make majority, and if
so, and they go there unpledged to
speedy adjournment, they will
hang on to the last minute of the
70 days allowed by law for a spec
ial session, The member who bobs
up now and smites himself on the
breast and refuses because his dig
nifty is offended in assent to the
governor conditions is not seek
ing the good of his state and peo-
pie, but 20 days snap at Salem.
He is one of the class mentioned
above and if there is enough of his
kind among the membership to
prevent the governors conditions
from being accepted, then, by all
means let there be no extra ses-
sion. The assembling of that kind
of crowd would only be the be-
ginning of folly, and if their an
swers to the governors offer show
enough of the present membership
to be of such character, it were far
better to bear the ills we have in
lack of revenue than fly to others
that we know not of.
Governor Chamberlain is sound
in his position, and he will serve
the people well if he refuses to
swerve from the policy he has
adopted. Nobody wants flood of
new laws to confuse and confoundo
the public and make business for
the courts.

position of yours into placidity.s The
most dangerous thing one can have
in house or on cargo is dynamite.
And the most perilous to your sue
cess is an explosive temper. An9un-
governable temper has lacerated
many a heart, broken up many home
and caused many a murder Re

me give you two or three suggestions
in order TO CONTROL that temper. Be

word to one who may have hurt your
feelings, first whistle Yankee Doodle. /.
1t you can't whistle, sing the doxology

creased rate, sing two hymns. If you
still feel that you must do something
desperate, go up to your room, get a
pencil and notebook and address him

wrong doer, and then put it in your
pocket, carry the red hot epistlea for
two weeks and at the end of that time
burn it up. O..
Remember young man, if you can

Beautiful spring has come again,
And the birds of the forest begin to
sing,
We must willingly do cur work each
day,
Away is the fields away, away.
The little children merrily run
To gather flowers for an elder one,
They drive the COWS to the pasture lot
And go to their rest on little cot.
The garden is planted with tender care
And the showers come to refresh the
air;
Natures is always doing her work,
While men sometimes their task Will
shirk.
Oh, the worlds trimming over with
joy, 1 say,
So never be idle, not even a day;
The children bid their kind teacher
good bye,
And each leaves the door with a tear
in his eye.
Months roll by and e'eE another spring
The bells in the steeple solemn toll
ring,
For the ones that gathered the
flowers for the old
Now lie IN the church-yard, still and.
