Governor Warner has accepted an
invitation 10 attend President RoOse-
velt's Inauguration ceremonies, and III
connection with that decision the gov
ernor has made another which Is even
more interesting. The governors sec
ond decision is in connection with the
proposed trip of the Michigan officials
TO Washington and is that all who go,
officially or otherwise, shall bear their
own expenses. Heretofore this inaug-
uration trip has been quite an expensive
luxury TO the taxpayers OF the state.
And speaking of the evident desire for
economy noted here since the new
administration was entered upon, the
determination of the leaders of both
branches of the legislature that the gen
eral "junket" of former legislation
shall not take place this session, should
be approvingly noted. 1t has been
arranged that the several committees
shall quietly visit the respective institu-
tions which they are commissioned TO
examine, and an adjournment through
next week was decided upon for that
purpose.

The daily sessions of the two houses
Of the legislature are opened with de
yotional exercises conducted by the
various Lansing pastors and visiting
clergymen. upon invitation, and the
solons thus secure as often as once a
week, il should be hoped, ministrations
adapted 10 the needs and preferences Of
each. IL is related of the last legisla-
ture that one of the city clergy, after
Offering prayer in the senate, expressed
his disapprobation Of the practice Of
members continuing to pull at their
cigars during prayer, and declined fur
ther to be party to scenes so unbecom-
ing. II is likely that those offenders
failed of reelection, and that no member
Of the present body would so misbehave.
The Rev. Mr.. Sly, in opening the house
session last week, called attention TO the
tattered condition Of the Bible from
which he was TO read his scripture
lesson, and the house ordered new one
bought, and donated the old relic TO the
historical society. BY the way, is II
creditable TO the state that these services
should be performed gratuitously? The
chaplains Of congress, selected and com
missioned, receive the same salaries as
the members. The state might with
propriety pay for these services as much
as would be paid to physician for call
and prescription for boy with the ear

Primary reform bills for several
counties have been introduced and dis
cussed, but up to the hour of mailing
this correspondence no bill had yet been
disposed of. There is no evident desire
in either house or senate TO prevent the
enactment of such legislation "a the
people of the several counties may de-
sire. Thus far however. the problem
has been for the people of the several
cities and counties 10 decide for them
selves as To changes in their present
primary reform provisions which Will
best meet the ends desired Many Of
those who have been quite aggressive IN
their favor for the brand of primary re-
form suggested 10y the Democratic plat

that such action would not bc best. and
they will work in harmony with Gov
ernor Warner and the majority in each
house for such legislation a Will meet

state platform, giving 20 the state as a
whole the provisions promised and 20

litical district in the state just such
primary reform arrangements as they
may desire.
