WHO HAS DONE THINGS

the state, he recommended and Sc
cured the passage of an efficient law
by which $72,13245 has since been
paid into the state treasury from this
source.
The increased fee on state liquor IL
censes is now producing at least $780,
10000 annually and the corporation
filing increased fee of $500 has al
ready produced in revenue SIS, $4,000,
while the increased fee of $500 for
annual Incorporation license fee pro-
duced in 1907 $35,OO0.00 and in 1898
$43, 10000.
In his earnest study of state insti-
tutions he early discovered that the
convicts confined in the state pen1-
Tertiary were unemployed during
very large portion of their time, thus
causing an additional expense to the
state and at the same time producing
a condition harmful to the cOnvicts.
By earnest effort he secured the pas
sage of a bill permitting the state to
utilize the labor of convicts on state
highways. He has so used this power
that such labor has not competed with
free labor
He recommended and secured the
passage of a humane indeterminate
sentence law.
Approaching that crime should be
prevented and criminals-especiall
first offenders-reformed, he bent all
his energies to securing the establish
ment of juvenile court for the pres
ervation of the neglected boys. He
urged also the law providing for a
state reformatory for first offenders
between the ages of eighteen and
thirty, separating this class from con-
tact with the hardened criminals, with
a view of reforming and turning these
first offenders into honest citizens.
Ascertaining that approximately II
per cent of the operating employees of
railroads in this state were killed or
injured annually, he recommended and
secured the passage of law provid-
ing for state inspector of railways,
railway equipment and roadbeds, and
under this inspection the roadbeds
and equipment of railways in this

state have been brought to a high
state of efficiency, thus protecting the
travelling public, and the casualties to
employees have been reduced to min
imum.
Not only has Governor Mead during
his administration caused more valua-
BILE constructive legislation to be
placed upon the statute book than has
ever been placed during any previous
administration, but he has so conduct
ed the affairs of the state that no
breath of scandal has touched any por-
ton of his administration.
The democratic party in convention
assembled was unable to suggest the
slightest criticism of any act of his
administration.
The tax commission has labored
earnestly and diligently to secure a
more equitable distribution of the bur-
den of taxation and has added to the
tax rolls property heretofore escaping
taxation amounting to more than $780,
100000. To the efforts. of the tax
commission is due the cruising of the
timber lands of the state by which
more than $4,000, 100000 worth of tim
Der, chiefly owned by the great cor
porations, has been added to the tax
rolls in the different counties through
out the state.
The railroad commission has cor
rected the abuses resulting from dis
elimination both as to persons and
localities; has greatly reduced the
freight rates charged by the railroads;
has ordered the erection Of stations
and facilities TO meet the public de-
mands, and has accomplished the Her
culean task Of valuing the railroad
properties within the state. In addi-

ises and redemption of the pledges
made, and every promise contained
in the platforms of 1904 and 1906 has
been fulfilled and is now a part of
the statute law of this state.
GOVERNOR MEAD HAS KEPT IN
TOUCH WITH THE WISHES OF
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE.
Realizing the public sentiment for
a regulative railroad commission law,
he not only recommended its passage,
but through his friends and advisors
brought about the passage of an eff
hcient regulative railroad commission
law second to none in the United
State, Notwithstanding the party in
1904 refused to make it a part of it's
promises and platform.
Realizing the necessity of protect
Ing and preserving our forests, he
earnestly urged and secured the pres
ent efficient forestry law providing
1or IRE wardens in each county.
Approaching the enormous waste of
money under the then law in trans
porting our convicts, incorrigibles and
insane, he brought about the present
system by which there has already
been saving of $23,7s40O to the
state.
He urged and secured the passage
Oh the. present law providing for a
state Oil inspector. which has not only
resulted in improving the standard
and grade of all Illuminating oil but
mas produced revenue to the state
over and above the cost of maintain
ing the inspectors of $13,S10.00 per
annum.

Turkish soldier is capable of giving In
the thick Of battle to trivial details OF
ordinary life, such as the u1doing of
his boot strings, which he will sit
down calmly and unconsciously to put
right, or the flight Of bird, which
he will follow in it's course, or humor-

istic. Contrary to what Is generally
thought to be the case, religious in
spiration has little or nothing to do
with It. Islamism only adds to the
warlike enthusiasm of the Turk. It
makes him more eager, more stre1u-
GUS, more enterprising in battle with
the infidel, since death in such a case
secures to him the transcendent re-
wards of martyrdom; but his fearless
ness is not greater when he is waging
war against the latter than when he

RAILWAY IMPROVEMENT.

First Notable Example of Resarl
for tho Appearance of Things.
In this country the first notable e1.
ample Of regard for the appearance Of
things along the line was furnished by
great railway company in the middle
states, says the Century. Here the En-
glish idea was followed. In keeping
with the exceptionally thorough organl.
cation Of the company's service the
manifest aim In these Improvements
was to have everything along the line
present what along the seaboard Is
known as a "shipshape" appearance

decks are kept Immediately holy.
stoned, the woodwork freshly scraped
or painted, the brasses polished, the
ropes cOiled, etc. Such conditions on
shipboard are marks of discipline, good
repair and general efficiency. So on
a railway, where in similar ways atter
ton is given to good appearance, public
confidence In safe and competent man
agement is promoted. Therefore Just
as the good mechanic takes care TO
make his. joint swell fitting and bis
lines good, SO on this model railway
the incest attention was given to thor
oughly well-ordered appearance Of all
the work about and near the tracks
For instance, the crossties are squarey
cut at an exactly uniform distance
from the rails, on the roadbed the BAL

clean and clear of all rubbish and about

however, until recently little attention

are not architectural; in the way ol
adornment some spare flower beds rep
