originally contained a provision requiring
all compounds containing any of dozen

stricken out of the bill because It was
feared the label poison appearing on so
many bottles which contained so little
dangerous material as TO be practically

Ignored Good Advice.
Yhe action OF the house and senate In
refusing TO pass an anti-pass bill and an
anti-lobby bill during the frst part OF the

by the railroad lobby as part payment

reliable sources It was learned today that
conductors are taking up as many free
trip passes and have been during the last
week as In the old days when every poll
tlcian Of any importance rode on passes
Had the legislature promptly enacted into
law an anti-pass bill it would at least have
cost the railroads something to bring their
hIrelings TO Lincoln to drag their chestnuts
out Of the fire. But the legislature didn't
do It and the men came and they did their
work and they will come back next week.
During the early days of the session
Governor Sheldon suggested that an anti
lobby bill be passed and the state house
freed from these Instructors OF just leg
islation, but such a law was not enacted.
As a result the senate has had to order
