The experience of the legislature with
the faulty enrolling of bills may result
some time in the introduction of more
business like methods. 1T always hap
pens at the close of the session that
the big appropriation bills with a host
Of other eleventh hour measures pour
upon the enrolling rooms fairly swamp
ing the committees. These bills, the
most important Of the entire session,
must be hurried out with scarcely time
to proof-read properly. Either the leg
iSlature should provide against the final
rush by the employment of experts and
plenty of them or there should be a
change in the provision that permits
the appropriation bills to lag till all
other business is over. No session
escapes without the promise that the
appropriations will be disposed of in
time AMI there has not been an i'm
stance within the memory of man
when session did not have to watt
from one to two days for the enrolling
OF the big bills Legislatures and courts
are the last to take up an innovation
and ii may be long time before any
change in the procedure will be made
Professor G. r. Richards of the en-
gineering department OF the university
has been advanced from the position
Of professor OF mechanical engineering
to tho post of associate dean of the
industrial college in charge of all en-
gineering instruction. This is step TO-
ward grouping all the engineering sub
jects in the university into q compact
ly organized school. With q new engi-
neering building and man like Pro-
n, 1yHc af hn r,f hn
work, Nebraska will without doubt
take a front rank in engineering among
western universities
When the university people discuss
the legislature they have good deal
to say about Senator King and his at
titude toward the appropriations. Tie
marked thing about his record was the
fact that he took pains to inform HIM
self about every point before speaking
or acting upon it. That is all the friends
of the university ever ask of a mem
ber. IL more of the senators had fol-
lowed the example of Senator King the
pains and worries connected with
amending the bills in the closing hours
would have been avoided
1t turns out that the Union Pacific
politicians played mean practical joke
on the people Of Grand Island by MAX
ing them believe that it wouldn't pay
to send w. II. Harrison back to the
senate. The counsel and work of that
veteran legislator would have been in
valuable during the whole winter. AS
it was, he was sent for toward the close
of the session by people who didn't
want to see Hall county lose out all
around, and he spent several days here
helping out the soldiers home and the
terminal taxation bill, both of them of
direct financial advantage to Grand
Island, The next time the railroads
kindly advise Hall county to leave Mr..
Harrison at home, the voters may be
too wise to enter the trap that snapped
on them in 1906.

the need for more room in the capito,

"The Blood is The Life"

Science has never gone beyond the
above simple statement OF scripture.
But it has illuminated that statement
and given it a meaning ever broadening
with the increasing breadth of knowl-
edge. When the blood is bad or inn
pure it is not alone the body which
suffers through disease. The brain is
also clouded, the mind and judgement
are effected, and many an evil deed or
impure thought may be directly traced
TO the impurity Of the blood. Foul,
impure blood can be made pure by the
use OF DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
coyery. 1t enriches and purifes the
blood thereby curing, pimples, blotches,
eruptions and other cutaneous affections,
as eczema, letter, or salt-rheum, hives
and other manifestations OF impure
blood.
