Governor S Message.

rss- II
On Wednesday of last week
Governor Sarles laid aside the
official robe Of Governor of North
Dakota and it was placed upon
the shoulders Of John Burke.
Both the retiring and the new
governor sent messages to the
legislature. Both documents are
good straight statements, and
altho they differ in emphasis laid
on certain needs, they both go
straight to the root of the matter.
To the retiring executive is left
the statement Of affairs in the
commonwealth and it shows a
good condition and great promise.
Gov. Sarles made a number of
recommendations for new laws
and for changes whose necessity
has been shown by the operation
of the laws. e
The recommendations made by
Governor. Burke are, for the
most part, directly in line with
the demands Of the people as
shown by the election and such
as present conditions show to-: be
necessary. a primary election
law, covering all the elective
officers of the state, is his first
subject. The initiative and re-
ferenduH is another thing he
brings to their notice as of pro
bable beneficent action on the
legislation for the state. He
des.ses also to see the election OF
judiciary and school officers re.
moved from partisan politics.
The settlement of the state has
made the present apportionment
very inequitable, the people Of
the eastern part having q fa1
greater proportionate represent
alton than those of the western
and immediate attention to this
matter is demanded by justice.
To assist in it's enforcement
the pure food law needs remodel
ling. 1t should be clearer il
some Of it's provisions and also
more stringent.
The school laws of the state
should be made uniform. An
other recommendation that fol
law giving greater freedom il
the investment of school funds
has already been embodied in
bill that has been introduced.
Laws giving the state create
freedom in contracts for printing
to make assessment uniform, t.
protect the game of the state, t

FINLEY AT RALEIGH.
President Of the Southern Road Con.
fers With Gov. Glenn.

RALEIGH. N. c., December 12-Pres-
ident Finley of the Southern railway ar
rived yesterday and had a conference of
an hours duration with Gov. Glenn at the
capitol building.
Gov. Glenn said: After railway people
had submitted several propositions to me,
which I rejected, for one reason and an
other, they then suggested that l write
out and make a proposition to them, to
settle this railway rate contention.
II then made them a proposition. The
Southern and Seaboard accepted my prop
osition, which of course was necessarily
subjected to Endorsement by the general
assembly a special session of the legis-
lature, but the Atlantic Coast Line and
some other roads refused to accept It.
That is why the compromise agreement,
which has been wired from Washington
this week as being imminent failed.
The governor declined to state what
transpiied at the conference with Presi-
dent Finley. The above is the first
time Gov Glenn has admitted that
he had made proposition to
the railway people. If the other
roads would now come in and
accep.. his proposition 4 special term of
the legislature would be called at once.
But If they do not the record will be made
up by Standing Master Montgomery here
in a few days, and the appeal in the orig
inal case will be hurried to the Supreme
Court of the United States.

MOST LAsTINGEsT SNOW.
Kept Chicago Payrolls Full for Two
Long Years.

CHICAGO, December Approaching
effects Of the great snowstorm Of Janu-
airy, 1905, were uncovered last night by
the city civil service commission. The
most interesting phenomena discovered
was that LOO street laborers are still
employed by the city for the removal OF
that remarkable snowfall. Notwithstand-
ing the scientific interest developed, the
commission unanimously decided that
from reasons Of economy a new rule be
enacted limiting to five days the period
for which emergency street cleaning Ia
borers may be employed in Chicago.
According to the records these LOO
emergency laborers were kept pegging
away at the removal Of that snow all
through the campaign for the election of
Mayor Edward f. Dunno and all through
his administration. Curiously enough, the
number Of men required for thte removal
Of snow rose to / 500 last July.

from that port in a bark to seek homes in
the South Pacific ocean, or rather in one
of the islands that dot portions of It.
Back of the expedition is Elmer S..

sociologist Last June, it seems, becom-
ing convinced that the wageearner was
gradually becoming weaker as the trust
and the combination were growing strong

So he discussed the matter with friends.
and then started to carry out the plan,
with the result that up to date 47S men,
bers have been accepted.
Island Not Yet Chosen.
Only $500 is required to participate in
the enterprise. but the entire amount to
be put into a common fund to institute a
cooperative colony in some island in the
South Pacific.
When the proper island is found every
one will settle down to business Every one
who can will be expected to do six hours
work day although every one may have
four weeks vacation a year. The colony
will be non-sectarian, and the form of
government that of a republic, with a
president elected every year. He will
choose his cabinet, but there will be no
secretary of war; Shredded cocoanut will
be the chief product OF the colony, but
the members may make try at tobacco
raising and other crops suitable to the
