FIFTY-SIXTH DAY.

Aside from the sundry appropriation
bill conferences, the day was devoted to
miscellaneous bills of all kinds, In both
branches. The House pissed the Nc
MILAN bill providing for the protection
of horticulture by adopting measures for
exterminating insect pests, and the same
body passed another bill introduced by
the senator from Carroll, the bill pro-
viding for the proper marking and weigh

ton wsighers.
The Senate took up and pushed the

strengthening of banks by certified cash
capital in hand, and for SWORD state
ments by officers and directors four
times in each year.
The conferrees on the Industrial Insti-
tute and College and the Agricultural
and Mechanical College bills reported
that they had gotten together, the House
having conceded the tag fee feature to
the Senate and the Senate conceding to
the House the Burkitt rider.
The privilege tax question came before
the Senate next and naturally brought
on discussion of a vigorous nature.
The bill as it came from the House,
had been considerably amended by the
committee In addition to these, num-
erous amendments were added by the
Senate of which the tax on express COM
panies created more talk AS the law
now stands, it taxes express companies
$500, and $500 per mile on all first-class
railroad tracks. The Senate raises this
tax from $500 to 81 900, and strikes out
$500 per mile, and inserts in place OF
this $500 per mile.
The tax on meat packing houses was
doubled from 500 to 5000 a year, and
Mr.. Pollard moved to reconsider this
vote and opposed the increase.
The Senate went into committee of the
whole to consider this bill Mr.. Harper
desired to amend the tax on transient
vendors of patent medicines from $500
to 1000, but this was lost.
The House doubled the whole list OF
items under "peddlers,' making it $40
instead of SIS for each foot peddler and
the Senate committee recommended that
the old law stand. Mr. Brown sought to
decrease even these small amounts. The
old law was restored.
Pistol cartridges" came up next, and
it was desired to amend this by increas,
ing the tax on dealers in pistol cart.
ridges capable of being fired in pistols OF
out of shells from $40 to $50. This
was the wish of a majority of the Sen.
ate and hence prevailed.

each company, $25, was adopted.
The tax on skating and bicycle Kinks
was increased considerably, and on the
telephone companies was decreased some
what for the smaller exchanges, andsjn.
creased somewhat for the larger ex

The battle and the breeze,
Your glorious standard launch again
To meet another foe
And sweep through the deep
While the stormy winds do blow,
While the battle RACES loud and long
And the stormy winds do blow!
The spirits of your fathers
Shall start from every wave,
For the deck 1t was their field of fame
And ocean was their grave.
Where Blake and mighty Nelson fell
Your manly hearts shall glow,
As We sweep through the deep
While the stormy tempests blow;
While the battle RACES loud and long
- And the stormy tempests blow.
Britannia needs no bulwarks,
- No towers along the steep;
Her march is DER the. mountain waves.
- Her home is on the deep.
With thunders from her native oak
She quells the floods below
AS they roar on the Shore,
While the stormy tempests blow,
When the battle RACES loud and long
And the stormy tempests blow.
The meteor flag of England
Shall yet terrific burn
TIL dangers troubled night depart
And the star of peace return
Then. then. we ocean warriors,
Our song and feast shall flow
To the fame of your name,
While the stormy tempests blow.
When the fiery fight is heard no more
And the storm has ceased to blow

anything IKE a. national guard, and the
feeling Became so rampant that the
House refused to concur by vote of
20 to 70.
Mr.. Cavett asked for q conference on
the bill, but the majority of the House
refused even that courtesy
The House took up the Potter State
depository bill. The bill passed as it
came from the Senate and the committee,
all the amendments having been agreed
to.
Mr.. Sample introduced s. B. 454, an
act to appropriate funds to pay principal
and interest on money borrowed to carry
on State government in 1908 and 1900,
and the finance committee promptly
acted on it, and recommended its pas
sage. '-
The general revenue bill was passed,
authorizing a six-mill tax.
House bill 742, creating privilege taxes
on certain industries and occupations in
this State was next considered and
amended, so as to cut the tax on moving
pictures in cities from $50 TO $25, in
towns from $25 to $3.50. On opticians
the tax was raised from SO to $25, and
COCO cola is made to conform to the other
chapters ON coco cola, and so fixed that

House bill 5s1, to add section $40 A
to chapter $50 of the code, establishing
a standard weight for coal, 1000 pounds
to the ton and 200 pounds to the box
or barrel, passed next.
The report of the conference commit
tee relative to the privilege tax on ex-
press companies showed that compro-
mise had been reached, which would split
the difference between the two bodies of
some $2s, 900 total, as provided for by
the Senate, and $4,000 by the House, or
compromise on about $4,000 revenue
from the operation of the two express
companies.

FIFTY-SEvENTH DAY.

|. Holding three long sessions today, both
the Senate and House disposed of lot
of business.
Practically all the disagreements be-
tween the two bodies have been settled
the two houses which are pending in tn
other end, with favorable committee r.
ports to be threshed out.
One of the most conspicuous of [,
acts today was the failure of the Hons
to pass the bill appropriating as donation
the sum of $4,000 for the battleship Mis-.
sissippi testimonial The Senate had al
lowed that amount, but the House econ
omists would not agree that the tax
payers would indorse such an appropria-
ton of their money, and so the matter is
passed up for private subscriptions.
The committee on agriculture, to
whom had been referred the Senate bill
to regulate the handling, inspection,
analysis and sale of commercial feed
stuffs, sold or offered for sale, rscomr
mended that the bill pass.
Mr.. Foster raised the point of order
that the bill was out of the regular or.
der, and had not been officially before
the House, but the chair declined to rule
on the point, and objection being made
to its consideration, the bill went over.
Among the bills passed was that pro-
viding for an additional appropriation
in order to increase the salary of the
secretary of the railroad commission
from $1,000 to $500 year, which re-
ceived a vote of 81 to 4.
Senate bill No. 451, making an ap-
preparation for the executive mansion
work, carrying $4,000, was taken up
on the report of the appropriation COM
mittee and passed after some opposition
the vote being 81 to O..
Mr.. Morrison called up the National
Guard appropriation bill, which the Sem
ate had amended by adding $1,000 year
to the support fund as it came from the
House, making the annual appropriation
$4,000. This gave some of the members
q ~hance to register their disannror-l of

MY woolNe.


THE time I've lost in wooing,

The light that lies
In woman's eyes
Has. been my hearts undoing.
Though wisdom oft has sought me.
Il scorned the love she brought me;
My only books
Were woman's looks,
: And folly's all they've taught me-
'HER smile when beauty granted,
- hung with gaze enchanted,
Like him, the sprite.
Whom maids by eight
Oft met in-glen that's hAunted.
Like him. too. beauty won me.
But while ,her4eyes were on me,

Oh winds could not outrun me.

Loving words will cost but little,
Journeying up the hill of life,
But they make the weak and weary
Stronger, Drawer for the strife,
Do you count them only trifles?
What to earth are sun and rain,
Never was kind word wasted,
Never was one snid in vain.
So, as up life's hill we journey,
Let us scatter all the way
Kindly words, for they are sunshine
In the dark and gloomy day.
Grudge no living word or action,
Az along through life we go,
There are weary ones around you,
II you love them, tell them so.

Talking of intemperance, did
you ever notice that fathers of
drinking boys are seldom found in
the thick fight against whiskey?
An overwhelming percent of the &C.
tive agitators are men who have
never personally experienced the
awful havoc wrought in the family
circle by disipated sons. Ninety
nine per cent of those who drink
form the habit before they are of
legal age-when it is a crime to
either sell or or give them the stuff.
If all men would resolve at his
critical period, that the man who
put the bottle to their sons lips
should suffer the consequences the
result would be more gratifying.

There is 40 doubt that the democratic
spirit IN our colleges is subject TO more
dangers today than il was fifty years
ogo. The old graduate Is right in think
ing that il is easier to keep up the
democratic spirit where everybody Is
doing the same thing and where no
body has much money.
But the old graduate Is wrong in
thinking that we eau legislate our
selves back TO this condition when the
world outside has passed beyond il
or that men trained in such n college
as he remembers would be able, after
they graduated, to meet the demands
and the temptations of the present age.
Lycurgus made Sparta into an old fash.
loned college with no electives and no
money.
How miserably the Spartans failed
when they were called upon to do any
thing which made for human progress
Is matter of history Our college
graduates are going out into n world of
political life more complex than any
thing with which the Lacedaemonians
had TO deal 1t is only by training
them for The enjoyment of freedom
and the use OF wealth in their school
days that we shall enable them to deal
with the greater problems which free
dom and wealth are creating through
out the country.
IL is one of the most hopeful signs In
the undergraduate life of the present
day that the students, and particularly
the Weather students, are preparing
themselves with open eyes for the as.
sumption OF political responsibility.
Tie studies and efforts of our under
graduates in our college clubs will
probably not advance them very much
In the direction OF getting Office during
their earlier years of professional life.
But these studies and efforts will
help them and will help the country as
q whole toward the establishment of a
system under which the man with
money feels that he holds that money
In trust for the public and the man
who desires office desires il primarily
for what he can put into it rather than
for what he can get out of it-Presi.
