will receive much attention: not
necessarily that serious and sensible
attention which might bring bene'
fetal results, but that attention
which will gain notoriety that
may result in votes next summer
Efforts will be made to pass State,
wide prohibition bill, and such a
bill has beer introduced. Just what
its fate will be cannot be foreseep,
but the indications are that the
whole thing will result in much
speech making and nothing more.
There will be a lot of talk and
things will remain as they are.
This is the situation as it now ap-
pears.
Senator Smith has presented a
measure providing for high 'cense.
This solution of the questie will
hardly receive a great deal of open
support at this time, but it would
be a great surprise to the people of
the State did they know what and
how many Legislators privately
favor this proposition. The in.
formation was quite surprise to
the writer.
A bill prohibiting the sale of
cigarettes is before the Senate, and
will provoke a stubborn fight.
Very few believe that such mea-
sure would do much real good,
as the cigarette smokers could
easily make their cigarettes, smok.
ing tobacco not being affected at
all by the bill. The members from
the tobacco growing section of the
State are, SO far as known, unit
in opposition, believing that it
would be a great blow to the to-
bacco industry of that section.
One of the freaks, out of a mass
of freaks, is the bill to prohibit
whipping in the schools. Another

these frolickiag parties were simply
useless, they might be excused on
on the ground that some recreation
| is excusable, but instead of beins
simply useless they are positively
harmful. The parties, in every in
stance that have come under tht
observation of this correspondent
were made up of a part of the
members of the Assembly, the
clerks of the engrossing department,
door-keepers, clerks and crowd Of
women. The whole ensemble is
that of a party of excursionists
out for day of care free pleasure.
The inspections consist in looking
at a few buildings and some tasty
grounds, much ha1dshaking, more
eating and drinking and lot OF
"spieling." The word spelling,
expresses the idea pretty clearly.
The object is to obtain favorable
consideration for the institution
visited, and things are arranged
and carried out with that object
steadily in view, and so long as
these trips are timed, fashioned,
controlled and absolutely moulded
with the present object, they will
continue to be harmful.
No matters of general interest
have passed into law. There seems
to be no question of great I'M
portance in the minds of the Legis-
lators generally. Some few are
disposed to make efforts to remedy
certain conditions which should
be remedied, but these few are
meeting with that opposition which
always come from ignorance of the
subject and desire for attention,
even though the attention be that
of criticism.
Of course the liquor business
