THE LEGISLATIVE GRIND
What the Solons of the Twelfth Session
are Doing

The senate has accepted the
ho lse bill abolishing the state
telephone inspector and the ap-
proval of the governor is all that
is required to wipe out the snap.
The good roads bill presented
in the house by Issenhuth, of
Sphinx county, was passed by that
body Thursday by vote of 73 to
%. The overwhelming majority
polled by the bill is taken gener-
ally as a criterion of the sentiment
of the people regarding the prop
er and systematic improvement of
highways. An attempt was made
by a combination among a number
of the members to tack on an am
endment changing that feature of
the bill requiring the poll tax to
be paid in cash, but were unsuc-
cessful as were all attempts to post
pone action:
The famous-or Infamous North
Carolina bonds, which have been
the bone of contention in many
previous sessions, are placed to
the credit of the state general fund
by bill just reported out of a
senate committee with a report
that it do pass" Mcpherson op-
posed the acceptance of the report,
contending that the money was
tainted-was secured by bribery
and that it would be a blot on the
commonwealth to make use of it.
He quoted freely from the bible,
consuming about half hour in his
address.
General Attorney Johnson has
been called upon to pass upon the
constitutional points in the bill
which seeks to end county seat
location fights in new counties by
making only the two high ones
eligible in the second fight, and
holds that there is no provision
which will interfere with it.
The state legislature is getting

down to solid work, and bills are
being passed or killed. There is a
general tendency to avoid the ex-
perience of the last session with its
numerous referred laws, and to
frame them up sufficiently satisfac-
tory to pass with an emergency
clause, which requires atwo-thirds
vote. If thus passed they cannot
be referred, but go into effect as
soon as signed by the governor.
Both assemblies took recess the
other afternoon and the senators
filed into the house chamber, where
the combined bodies listened to an
excellent address by Former Cover
nor Folk, of Missouri. In his talk
Mr.. Folk touched on several sub
jects of moment, among them be-
ing reciprocity with Canada, which
he favored, as he did also the pro-
posed income tax amendment to
the constitution. He was literally
applauded throughout his address.
While the present session has
not been bringing as u uch grist to
the mill as did the session of two
years ago it has been doing very
well along that line. Thursday
ended the first half of the session,
and the evening of that day showed
that $50 bills had been started on
their way for that half. For the
same time of the session two years
ago the number had gone to 418.
While there is a difference, the
handicap is not so heavy that the
present session cannot yet get up
to the record of two years ago if
they try little.
The senate fight Friday was
over the sandbars in the Missouri
river which have grown to where
they may be called islands. The
fight was led by Curtiss on one side
and Bartine on the other, and end
ed in the adoption of the bill to
give the jurisdiction of all such

duties on lumber and certain food
staffs, and lot of people have
suddenly come to the conclusion
that they don't want a revision
downward which competes with
the products they want to sell.
The great trouble with the treaty
is that it can't be bluSpenciled to

we must accept or reject it just as
it is.

1t has been said that length OF service in

II may be that the minister who has been here

among the people of the United States, to think
that because many Of the foreign diplomats in
Washington represent monarchies and have titles,
they are possessed of a certain high mightiness
that keeps them aloof from the democratic horde.
The stranger American who calls at any of the
embassies or legations is sure of courteous treat
ment, which is not always Forthcoming when a

but unquestionaby they have 1t impressed upon
them by their home government before coming
to this country that America is democracy and
that they must remember that here all men are
considered equal There plenty of foreign
diplomats who will be hail fellows well met in
crowd of Americans, but who in a crowd of their
own countrymen will be very careful to observe
distinctions of class, and hold 1t beneath their
dignity to show any familiarity with one held to
be inferior in social standing.
The diplomats In Washington are great stick
lers for precedence among themselves. Length
Of service in the capital is the thing that counts
The ranking ambassador may be mister
but he has the privilege of precedence over an
other ambassador who may be count or baron
The importance or the wealth or the strength Of
the nation represented in Washington amount
to nothing where the question of priority of rank
among the representatives is concerned. Great
Britain ordinarily IS considered a much
powerful and important nation In the world OF
affairs than Austra-Hungary. Yet today in Wash
ington the representative of the latter country
In official and social professions walks ahead of
the representative Of the former country.
The ranking diplomat In the capital city is
Baron Hengemuller Hengervar, privy
cilor, ambassador extraordinary and plenipoten-
tiary of Austria-Hungary. The baron has been In
the diplomatic service of his country ever since
he was YOUTH and he is the foreigner of longest
service In the United States The home life of
| the Baron and Baroness Hengemuller is Of the
proverbiay ideal type. In article on the Aus
| tria-Hungarian ambassador, John Elfreth Wat
kins says Of the home of the diplomat:
! The embassy is treasury Of souvenirs OF
sojourns among and intimate acquaintance with
the great personages who have shaped and are
shaping the history of the world. In the drawing
room are bronze busts of the emperor and the
late Inflated empress, and upon one Of the tables
is Jewel case presented by the queen Of Saxony.

her to show her hand and take his
medicine like man? Or ought he to
accept her rebuff as final, maintain
something of her own silent proud
ness, and go his way?
At this point Fate solved the prob
lem for him in the shape of an urgert
telegram summoning him west at
once on important business. He would
have to take 6:10 train for Chicago
and there was enough work at the
office to keep him busy the entire aft
ernoon Perhaps by the time he re-
turned his nebulous thoughts would
have assumed rational form. Perhaps
Eloise herself might repent. Possibly
Providence would come to the rescue
and show him the way! With sigh
and an undisguised heart-pang, he
locked away the discarded treasures
and went fiercely to work on his
books.
Two hours later, on the way to
luncheon, Royces feelings had under

florists shop he paused almost uncon-

yiolets. Eloise had worn violets the
first time he saw her; he had carried

He scrubbed a short message across
one of his visiting cards, paid for his
purchase and left the address for de
livery. Then, with his heart severa
degrees lighter and eyes less hopeless
he swung on down the avenue.
Eloise packed her trunk between
spells of grim silence and Irresistible
outbreaks OF tears. It was only TOT

Brown Eyes or Blue?
By JOSEPH A. PALCAR

When Eloise's lover remarked that
he abominated blue eyes in women be-
cause they were often tricky and de-
ceitful, it was not to be marveled at
that Eloise's big violet orbs widened
nrst In surprise. then In Indignation
and finally In the worst sort OF wound
ed love and pride. How did she know
that Royce was color blind?
She would not lower herself to de-
mand an explanation of Royce's rude
ness; that 1t was deliberate and cruel
was obvious. Furthermore, such an
observation could have been prompted
only by some hidden motive-whether
OF resentment or pure malice she did
not know and did not care The result
was the same. and self-respect left her
no alternative but to break the en-
gagement at once and without the
abasement of words or a scene. This
she did by returning by express a dry
goods box full of the accumulated
presents of six months and the be-
frothal ring by registered mail

But he felt very much like rubbing his
eye and pinching himself to see II he

supposed for an instant that Eloise
would carry petty fit Of irritation to
such limits.
How had he offended her? They
had had innumerabie differences dur
ing the brief period OF their engage
ment, but these had been followed in
evitably by explanations and ecstatic
adjustments. She was leaving no ave
