A surprising amount of opposition
developed to the proposed school. Both

Work Overtime
While strenuous efforts were made
last week to clear the calendar OF all
bills by Saturday night, it was early
apparent that at least two days time
would have to be given the state free
by it's legislators. A quorum of the
faithful signed an agreement to re-
main until Tuesday at least, and re-
solution adopted Saturday night pro-
Vides that no adjournment shall be
taken until every bill is disposed Of.
This would take until the end of the
week. Resolving and doing are differ
elt, however.
This gives Speaker Dowd an op-
portunity to carry out his determine
ton to clear the calendar before adj
journment.
There have been 2110 bills intro
duced. OF these 1133 have become the
law of the State up to this date. 1t is
impossible to give even a partial list
of the more important measures until
after the assembly has adjourned,
when the clerks of the house and sem
ate will put in many more strenuousl
days completing the record of legis-
lation.
Some Good Talks.
Friday and Saturday Of last week
were notable for the many really fine
speeches heard on the floor of the
house. The see, 900 appropriation for
the new Feeble Minded Institute,
while it was opposed by some of the
leaders, seemed to inspire its adVo4

really fine speeches. The State pri-

Of hours and the remarks made by the
honorable gentlemen were pointed and
calculated to hurt. The opposition of
the Western members killed the bill.

The Senate has passed the bill.
Ewart Gets His.
