A $4,000 pipe organ is being
installed in the new $500, 900
chapel at West Point. A few
days ago the House Of Represen-
tatives voted to appropriate
$4,000 for pay of chapel organ
list and choir master. Could
there be a greater anomaly than
a $4,000 organist playing a
$4,000 organ in a $500, 900
chapel? Our lawmakers surely
pull off some wonderful stunts.

Hon. VIM. j. Bryan, who
should long ago have been elect

eral Assembly February 23rd.
His talk was oId-time democratic
doctrine that this is a govern
ment of, for and by the people"
He advocated home rule and tax
ing incomes. He had many
good things to say in the way of
advice to legislators as to their
duty to honestly and %conscien-
tiously represent their CON
stituents. He also favored the
Oregon plan for electing United
States Senators.
There was a big fight in the
house. The question was wheth-
er a county resident should pay
a license of 81 for that privilege.
After almost a fight of two days
it was ordered engroSsed. The
sentiment is general that the
bill will be killed when it comes
up for final passage or, if pass
ed, will be voted.
It hardly seems possible, yet
ii is true that the Commissary

some $40 worth Of goods.
The a~nti-treating and the bill
prohibiting saloons from having
screens and frosted windows

game wardens. The general
opinion prevails that this
should be looked after by sher-
ifs and constables. The salary
and expenses of these county
game wardens is the cause of
the uprising, many of them be-
ing enormous. Mr.. John F.
Ritter Of Wellington, is the war
den in Lafayette county, and l
find he has been paid $802.53, or
an average of $40 per month for
the time he has worked. Sew
eral other wardens have visited
Lafayette county many times
but their expenses are not OBJ

county court.
Three of Representative Houx's
good roads bills, companions to
his rock road bond bill, were
ordered to engrossment Friday
without a dissenting vote. This
does its own talking as to Mr..
Houx's splendid Judgment in the
framing Of these important meas
ures that will give the people
just what they have for years
been calling for and demanding
IN the way of good roads. These
bills will be passed by the senate
as the farmers there are pushing
them.
Mr.. Houx's rock road bill,
providing for the issuance of
bonds therefor, passed the Senate
Friday by an unanimous vote,
and only awaits the signature of
the governor in becoming a law.
Again we want to remind his
constituents that their every
interest as regards beneficial
and needed legislation are in
safe and competent keeping.

In making appropriations for state

building OF a dormitory for the Okla

above referred 10, that the bill will be
