The state legislature organized .ast
Wednesday with little friction, the yell
low, muckracking press to the contrary
notwithstanding. There appears to be
unit of sentiment for a short session
and legislation that viii be beneficial to
the whole people. The friends of Cover
nor Davidson and the administration or
ganized both houses and they accept
the responsibility. The long heralded
fight to prevent the election of Senator
Stephenson has not materialized up to
date, and it is not liable to do so. The
democratic minority has introduced re-
solutions in both houses for an investi-
cation of liri. lary expenditures of SEN
anorial candidates There should be no
possible excuse for refusing an ex-
haustive investigation if the democracy
can or Will make plain specific in
fraction of the law or show where
money was used corruptly. Otherwise
the Legislature would not be warranted
in wasting months of time and large
financial outlay chasing unfounder ru-
mors. 1t is altogether probable that
Senator Stephenson will be reelected
on Tuesday next without opposition from
the republican majority in the legisla-
ture. If not. then the primary election
is without value He was nominated
by direct vote under system that
guarantees to every man the right to
have his choice recorded. Whether he
was your or my individual choice is of
little c, Naednence.

Congress and the president have been
indulging in a spasm of wordy antagon-
ism, and the country has been intently
watching to see who would come off
first best. The chief executive has
welded the big stick with unrelenting
accuracy and congress and individual
members thereof have responded in
kind. 1t is safe to predict that Teddy
will not materially suffer by the scrap.
The country believes in him and his
strenuousness, and that has much to do
with forming judgment. But then con-
gress will have rest when Roosevelt

Labrador
Winter driving with team Of a
dozen dogs is declared by DIR. Grenfeil
of Labrador to be the most fascinating
sport ever enjoyed by man. His de-
scriptfon of it as quoted by James
tombstone in his book, "Grenfell of
Labrador" is as follows:
Although there is no harder work
when driving over rough country,
yet the bracing cold, the exhilarating
brightness of the reflected light from
the snow, the difficulty of getting bad

mountain side or even tumbles over a
cliff. the absence of damp or moisture,
the fact that one can travel anywhere
in soft, light moccasins and in such
clothing as is most conducive to agil-
ity, without any reference to conven-
tionality, all help to vanquish any re-
alizatiOn of labor on long trip.
