Why the Present Legislature vii

on legislation because of his presnr
ability. I have heard so much said
about the manner in which he led men

on legislation because of his presnr
ability. l have heard so much said
about the manner in which he led men
to the trough and figuratively .made
them drink that l have giygn some
study to the reason why he is able to
direct legislation. l do not believe
there is member of the senate who
could be dictated to as to the manner
in which he should cast his vote by
Senator LaMoure or by any other man.
The stories which are sent out to that
effect, am convinced, are the results
OF diseased imaginations in the au-
thors. do admit that Senator LaMoure
influences legislation, but it is the
same way that any one would do so,
except the small fry fellow who SUBJ
stitutes abuse for brains. When he
presents a matter for the considera-
ton Of the body of which he is MEM
ber, he is fortified with facts and fig
ures to prove that what he wants is
right and in the interests of the public
and he is usually able to count maj
ority to his way of thinking. 1t is the
same methods employed by every man
who attempts to direct legislation. 1t
is different from some have witness
ed at Bismarck where the author OF
measure as it appears on record is
merely the fgurehead whose name is
attached to the same so that it may be
introduced, and who when the time to
fight the objections made to it comes
proves his inability to handle the mat
ter and often fails because he knows
nothing about what the merits of the
bill are. 1t is very much like an un-
licensed pettifogger going into a court
to do battle with lawyer who knows
the law and the facts in his case.
Senator LaMoure is always prepared,
it is by such means that he is able to
influence and direct legislation.
He is an intense student of passing
affairs. He can be found at the capitol
almost any hour of the day delving In
to records and looking up facts and
figures. He gives the closest attention
to matters in which he is especially
interested, and when it leaves his
hands 1t is not often lacking in the es
sentials which make it advantageous
to the people.

GEORGIA MAY JOIN LIST
OF ANTI-LIQUOR STATES


Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 6.-Foes of the
liquor traffic gathered here in force
today to perfect the organization of
the Georgia Anti Saloon League and
to discuss plans for getting an anti
liquor measure through the present
legislature. The temperance element
is of the opinion that Georgia is on
the verge of decentralization and will
go to the bad entirely unless the de-
mon Rum is set upon good and hard.
The call for the present gathering
sets forth condition of affairs rather
startling to those who have lived in
blissful ignorance Of the facts. The

penses-People Are Expected to
Take a Sane View Of Situation-No
Comparison Here With the East.
(By George Dayis.)

Bismarck, Feb. 6.-Since the pass
age by the house of the White anti
pass and two cent passenger rates bill
the correspondent of the Evening
Timse has received more than half a
hundred letters from interested per-
sons throughout the state inquiring
as to the probable results of the en-
forcement of the law shouldd it be-
come operative, and its influence upon
the development and prosperity of the
state. Rather than attempt to ans
wer all these letters personally, 1
have decided to give in short article
some of the leading matters inquired
about. 1t is evident from this string
of inquiries that the people of the
state are awake on the matter and
that while they may be for so-called
reform, they are not willing to have
reform at the sacrifice of their own
interests and the prosperity of the
state. l am aware that a sensi-
BILE discussion of the results of the
enforcement of the bill, should it be-
come law, will subject the person
doing so to the dirtiest filth that can
be turned on him by such reform
monomaniacs as the Valley City muck
raker who has been denounced on the
floor of the house repeatedly as falsi-
fer, and the charge will be made by
the few of his caliber that anything
other than their own selfish and mar
row view of tre matter is in the in
terests of the railroads. They remind
me of half starved hound who howls
at the moon because his stomach is
empty, and who as soon as fed lies
down to sleep.
Possibly half dozen of those who
have written this correspondent have
asked to have motives which prompt
ed the passage of the measure explain
ed. 1 do not impugn the motives or
the sincerity of any one who voted for
the measure. l am not the keeper of
their consciences, and can not there
fore determine the motives which lay
hidden in the recesses of the souls.
I can only judge from the outward
acts and draw conclusions from these
acts measured by the rule of common
sense. 1 am convinced, and have al
ways been of that opinion since the
introduction of the bill that its au-
thor believed he was doing the people
of the state service which would
write his name high on the scroll of
fame when he prepared the measure
which finally passed the house. He
probably knew nothing more of the
actual working Of a system of rail-
roads than the average newspaper cor
respondent knows of theology. He
probable knew nothing of the great
organizations, more intricate and COM
plicated and systematic than that of
the army of a world conquering gen.
eral, which is necessary to operate and
keep in running condition one of the
system of railways which he was leg
islating for, in a few minutes in the
house. But believe he thought he
knew and understood every detail of
the matter and that on the few pages

opening of the Thaw case centered in
the maneuvers of Thaw's counsel
who at the end of yesterdays pro-
ceedings held lengthy conference
as to the future conduct of the case
and this morning before court opened
they consulted with Thaw in the pris-
.oner's pen. When the session began
Jerome stated that on adjournment
yesterday, the point was pending as
by the witness who was about to state
a conversation held with Thaw in
January, 1904. The court had sus-
tanned the objection of Jerome but
had invited citation of authorities
and Jerome was reading from case
when Attorney Delamas arose and
suggested the witness be placed on
the stand before the continuing of the
proceedings. This showed that Del
amas was to have charge of the de-
fense instead of Gleason. 1t was said
Delamas had threatened to withdraw
from the case unless given a free
hand, as yesterdays proceedings were
anything but satisfactory.
Delamas withdrew the question
asked the witness and Jerome with
drew the objection and Benjamin Bo-
man, doorkeeper of the garden thea
ire was called to the stand. He was
asked il he had ever heard White make
threats against the life of any person
and the witness answered yes.
Jerome objected, saying he was not
assured self-defense was to be part
of the defense and Delamas said all
defenses allowed by law were to be
part of the defense and Jerome with
drew the objection.
Boman then said that few nights
after Christmas White came to him
and asked if Evelyn Nesbit had gone
home.
II told him she had," said the wit
ness, "and he replied you are liar
I told him to go on the stage and see
for himself. When he returned he
passed me, pulled out revolver and
said:
"'I'll find and kill that =
before morning."
Before the cross-examination began
the court told the women witnesses
that If they felt their sense of pro-
priety offended by the testimony of
the witnesses, they could leave the
room and Thaw's sisters went out
They returned during the rather
tedious cross-examination, having
been reassured by George Carnegie.
Jerome took the witness over the de-
tails of Boman's employment, COW
ering period. of the last five years,
also as to his place of residence.
Martin Green, a newspaper man,
testified to being within twenty feet
of White on the night of the shooting.
Delmas asked him as to Thaw's man
ner, and Jerome objected but spoke
so low Delmas could not hear. Del
mas suggested to the learned dis
trict attorney" he speak so he could
be heard. Delmas made the question
specific and Green said: "Thaw was
very pale-his eyes seemed about to
pop out of his head.
