BLOWS gently DER the wagon train;
A mellow beauty softly reigns-

Look down upon the darkened plain;
The coyotes cry
And night winds sigh
Are blended in a long refrain;

Wild flowers fair
Perfume the air,
While westward wends the wagon train

THE WESTERN IDEA.

For the moment the most important
feature of 1.-The western idea" is the ten
dency to guard more jealousy the
things that are peculiarly of state con-
Germ; to revitalize constitutional func-
lions which have Swallowed forth but
dimly in recent years and to give sta
bility and efficiency to state authority.
Thus, the position of governor, decadent
since the war and measurably weakened
in prestige, will probably be restored to
somewhat of it's former usefulness and
glory. The mind will instinctively turn
to Folk of Missouri, La Toilette of Wis
cousin, Hoch of Kansas and Hanly of
Indiana as types proving that the ex-
ecutive commission should do something
more than certify the holders fitness
for a seat in the United States senate. A
generation of u S. senators could
not have accomplished for these states
the enduring good wrought for these
governors The essence of the lesson
taught by these exemplars is that the
means of accomplishing the greatest
good for the present number lie within
the purView of state authority The
blessing is twofold: % BY arresting the
drift toward Washington the pressure
on the already overburdened federal de-
partments will be lessened and the CEN
trail government can devote it's energies
to such issues as lie more legitimately
within it's province; and (2) the study
of those questions which lie within the
states demands will be stimulated and
state government will be strengthened
by a higher standard of efficiency in
the public service.-New Orleans Times
