Good Record OF Governor and Iegis.
lature.
From the Detroit Journal.


Two great features by which the
work of the legislature of 1905 will be
remembered are its passage of the pri-
mary reform bill and the change which,
under the authorization of constitu-
tional amendment it inaugurated in
the method Of improving country roads
The Importance of the primary meas
ure in giving the people a more COM
handing voice in nominations for office
and insuring better selections for mem
bers of the legislature and other public
positions, can scarcely be overestimat-
ed. While there is always the danger
that the new policy with RESPECT to the
highways will tend to extravaganza and
favor the formation of political rings, it
must be admitted that a start in the
state improvement of roads has been
made with a very modest appropriation,
and that the early traditions of the new
department promise to be founded in a
painstaking economy.
Divers mistakes of omission and some
few Of commission have been made dur
ing the session, but on the whole we
believe that the legislature will be
adjudged to have shown adequacy in
unusual degree to the needs of the
times. Throughout its deliberations,
the influence of the governor has been
demonstrated in striking degree, and he
has justified the faith placed in him by
the electorate.
Gov. Warner has more than fulfilled
his campaign pledges, and has strength
ened and increased the confidence re.
posed by the people in his fidelity and
practical Judgment.

Hope On.

There never was heart but knew some inner
anguish,
There never was a cheek but hath with
tears been wet.
Never a heart but has been known TO languish
And days OF sorrow We never shall forget.
There never was mind but hath bitter
mood
Never a cloud without silver lining,
Never soul but wanted TO be good
o, cease dear heart thy repining.
There never was road so long but what
II turned
Never a night so dark but watchfire
burned,
Never so far we roam
But some sweeton will pray, come home.

THROUGH THE RAPIDS TO MONT
REAL.

A visit to the St. Lawrence reg on
is not complete without . trip down
the river to Montreal by the splendid
ly equipped steamers of the Richelie u
| & Ontario Navigation Company, which
run daily from Toronto across Lake
Ontario to Thousand Islands points
and down the st. Lawrence to Mont
real, Quebec and the Saguenay River.
The ride from the islands to the
great commercial metropolis of Can.
ada, Montreal, consumes but q days
time, and the trip Is an exceedingly
interesting one. Leaving Alexandra
Bay at s a. M, the tourist arrives at
Montreal In time for the evening meal,
feeling refreshed and invlgorated after
a wonderful days ride on thislmaj este
river. The steamers Kingston and
Toronto" make the run as far as
Prescott, Ont, where passengers are
transferred to q smaller boat in order
to ride the rapids In safety. This
series OF turbulent waters known rs
THE Rapids" begins q few miles be-
low Ogdensburg on the American side
Of the channel, and the first passage is
through the Galops.
We next enter the Du Plat Rapids
and the Long Sault, which extend for
nine miles until the town of Cornwall
is reached. These rapids give but
foretaste of the exciting features OF
the trip farther down the steam.
The shooting Of the rapids" Is .
pleasure which Is both novel and ven-
turesome. The peculiar sensation
which one making the trip experiences
when the steamer, with steam almost
shut off, glides from shelf Of rock
through these foaming waters which
dash on all sides, is one never to be
forgotten. Hidden but few feet un-
der the surface lie the most PREACHER
Gus boulders, which only the best Of
skilled pilots can avoid The steamer
is carried along at q speed OF twenty
m lies an hour by sheer force Of cur
rent, and each onward plunge conveys
to the passenger high on the observa-
tion deck sensation like that exper-
fenced on sinking ship.
After having passed through the
rapids the steamer enters more
peaceful current and soon glides by
the picturesque Indian village Of 81.
Regis on the right side Of the river.
Here the St. Lawrence expands form.
ing the beautiful Lake st. FIaucis,
across which one can see Ohateauguay
mountain range.
Below the Cascade rapids and emery
ing from Lake st. Louis, we pass the
town of Lachine, nine miles from
Montreal. The steamer now enters
the famous Lachine rapids, the LARGEST
of all the ST. Lawrence series. The
total drop Of water here is over As feet.
At the end Of the rapids narrow,
tortuous channel is entered, leading
into the broader section OF the stream
spanned by the famous Victoria bridge
A few minutes later the passengers
dlsem bark at the r. & o. wharf at
Montreal.
The traveller can well afford to pass
a week or more in this interesting city
finding new sights each day, which
will long be treasured as pleasant
memories.

The Grand Rapids Herald in com
menting upon the work of the legisla-
ture commends Gov. Warner as follows:
THE session, however, brought out
one fact with pleasing prominence.
This was that Governor Warner is a
man to be relied upon to safeguard the
interests of the people. He may not
have been as active and aggressive as
some governors Michigan has had. He
may not have kept himself quite as
much in the foreground 1t is certain
he did not run often or at length to
special messages telling the legisla.
ture what it ought to do. But it may
be said with truth that his was the
influence that kept many undesirable
bills in the pigeon-holes. More than
any other he was instrumental in Sc
curing the enactment of a primary
election law that is near to what the
people want. He stood firm for the
retirement of Tax Commissioners
Sayre and Freeman. In other ways he
showed himself strong on the side of
wise legislation-silently strong rather
than vociferously, yet none the less eff
fective. Governor Warner has come
through the session with credit to him
self and the state"

The Company Reasons for shutting Down

president Of the Prairie OIL and Gas Com
pany and the Forest Oil Company, ex-
planned this morning at his Office at the Van
dergrift Building, that, although he re-
GREETED throwing 900 men out Of work in
Kansas because Of legislative hostility,
the action was necessary for the protection
OF his own and the stockholders interests.
The situation was IN such turmoil in
Kansas. Mr. Young said, that he could do
nothing but suspend operations until some
plan of business was evolved out Of the
chaos.
One house Of the Leg lslature Of Kansas
has passed an act appropriating 500 900

laws for the establishment OF pipe line.
il Is said convict labor il to be used and that
the State in this way will compete with
the Standard Oil Company.
THE closing Of the plants and shutting
down Of the pipe lines will let the Legislators
and people see what adverse legislation
would do TO the industries Of the State and
will probably create a sentiment among the
people in favor Of the State abandoning

License Collector Tlndali Leaves n Middle
behind Hin-sIty Loses Money

AsBURY PARK, y, j., Feb. IL. L. r. Tin
dali, license collector of Asbury Park is
missing and an investigation Of the books
of his department shows that he has sys-
tematically robbed the city. 4 committee
of oouncilmen to-day estimated the loss
from licenses upon which Iindall col
lected and failed 10 pay over the money
all the way from 500 to 5000
Tindall disappeared Tuesday morning
after charges had been preferred against
him in the council based, however, on the
superstition that he had shown favoritism
in the collection Of licenses Two business
men who We're alleged 10 have been thus
favored asserted that they had paid their
license charges. and this led 10 closer
investigation Of the books with the result
that thirty-seyen licenses were found to be
missing from the license book and no
corresponding payments are marked on
tho stubs.
The Council believes that large amounts
were collected by Tindall in instaIlments
from hucksters and summer hack drivers.
20 whom no licenses were issued. This
view il supported by Councilman Charles
A. Atkins, who recalls that 1indall, two
years ago, received AZ present gold watch
and chain from this class Of licensees.
The license collector when he left As
bury Park Tuesday morning either took
with him or concealed the license register
books OF 1903 and 1901. For this reason
the committee IS seriously hainpered IN
it's work. Sixteen Of the thirty seven
missing licenses have been abstrnc ted
from the 1904 book. The other twenty
one were taken from q packet OF 1908,
signed by Acting Mayor Bruce :. heator
Tindali was last seen in New York

avenue II is said he was intoxicated
and displayed fist flied with bills, which

Until recently Tindall was a power in
local politics. He was q member Of the
Asbury Park Republican executive COM
mttee and for several years had been
prominently identified with the Republican
campaigns in Monmouth county. lie was
formerly station agent for the Central
Railroad OF New Jersey. The case will
