Change Political Thought

1t is time to call attention TO the
fact that the climate of American poll
tics has Tecentlv undergone a great
change.
The change is due to 1lhe discovery
that politics is much more serious
business than people generally have
been brought up to sunnose.
Sensible men everywhere are awak
ening to the idea that the Govern
ment is big business.hat it is their
business, and that their hone OF max
ing an honest living depends very
largely upon their ability to maintain
all honest government. his new
idea.
The fathers OF the present voting
generation thought of ~nlltics as a
great game-a very interesting game,
sometimes exciting and even danger
ous-a game in which the stakes were
often high and the gains and losses
large. But they did not realize that
| their living was at stake.
They had lno experience of' the
/ power ci corrupt politics TO create
! gigantic agencies Of exrortion to tax
the very life out Of nation.

risky sport, the mass Of the American

Now at last, the people have decid-

entirely beyond their means.
They have decided 10 work at poll

At the Sign Of the White Light
Absent Ones

Absence makes the heart grow
fonder, but the memory of the
absent one becomes vague and
dim. You long to picture in
your mind just how "HE" or
"SHE' would look, but there's
mysterious something which
makes this mental picture impos-
sible.
But if you had a photograph
before you, then you could recall
the forgotten face, YES, even the

Medical Bill Discussion.
Thursday in the Senate.

Bismarck, N. D., Feb. 3.-The senate
chamber was q laughing gallery yes
terday. All through the session there
were amusing incidents which pro-
voked laughter on all sides. The wo-
man suffrage bill came up and there
was fight over the two reports which

ton was made of the measure by send
ing it to the committee of the whole
and here 1t was decided to rise and re-
port that progress had been made.
Considerable anxiety was caused by
the action taken on s. B. 1903, which
is the druggists bill providing that in
toxicating liquors may be sold in drug
stores only on prescription of a ply
stefan. The Lill came back to the SEN
ate with majority and minority re-
ports. Senator Talcott announced that
he comprised the minority.
Senator Elken moved that the con-
sideration of the reports be laid over
a day, which had already been the
case of the reports, as they had been
held over from Tuesday. The motion
was lost, and the majority report was
adopted
When the woman suffrage bill was
reported back, with majority and
minority provisions attached to it, the
first for indefinite postponement and
the second with a recommendation for
passage, Senator Garden moved that
the minority report be adopted Sena-
tor Gansle. chairman of the woman
suffrage committee moved the adoption
of the majority report. Senator Gun
derson attempted to substitute the mo-
ton of Senator Garden. but was ruled
Hout of order by the chair.
Then Senator Pierce moved as an
amendment TO the Garden motion that
the reports be committed to the com
nlittee Of the whole. This was put to a
vote, and as the chair was in doubt a
rising vote was taken, which resulted
In a tie. the count being 20 to 20.
The chair decided that 1T would go

ator Davis moved that it be brought
up today at 3 o'clock, which failed

TALCOTT TO PATCH
The GAME LAW

Bismarck, n. D.. Feb. 3--An amend
ment for the creation Of state board
of control for fish and game with
chief game wardens and a state fish
commissioner, deputies and wardens,
was bill which was introduced by
Senator Talcott of Cass county yes
terday. The Talcott amendment bill
also makes provision for the duties
and jurisdiction of the wardens and
their deputies. 1t calls for the pro-
lection, propagation. preservation,
taking, use and transportation of
game, fish, wild birds, fur bearing
animals and certain harmless birds and
animals.
The Talcott bill provides a num-
Der of sections of chapter 1928 of the
session laws of 1909. 1t is bill which
covers a series of long felt wants in
this department Of the state govern
ment. After much elaboration on the
matter the senator from Cass county
has presented a bill which bears di-
rectly upon the department with
which there is so much dissatisfac-
ton at the present time in regard to
its management during the last two
administrations.
Coming as it does just now when
the Gunderson resolution has caused
an investigation of the board, gives
the Talcott bill added Importance. It

FUN IN HOUSE
ON ADJOURNMENT

Bismarck, n. D., Feb. 3.-Not only
did the house concur in the Gronvold
resolution from the senate for a three
days recess, but it has started the
ball rolling in the direction of having
morning sessions. Last night instead
Of the regular adjournment, the lower
body concluded to take recess from
o'clock until 10000 this morning.
Fun Over Recess Proposition.
When the members of the house fail
to arrange a laughable situation over
the particulars of parliamentary
practice, it is indeed a dull day.
Ordinarily it is when the hour comes
for the committee Of the whole
that the representatives settle back in
their seats and prepare for an ami
mated discussion and a hearty laugh.
But yesterday there was nothing of
that order on the programme, so the
recreation hour came when the resolu-
ton came up for the recess.
1t had been predicted that to punish
the senate no recess would be taken,
as the time was briefer than had been
provided for in the similar concurrent
resolution adopted in the house earlier
In the week and which the senate had
turned down In such a cold blooded
way. But when the hour came, it was
found there Were too many who really
wanted to go home for a brief rest
to defeat the proposition, so 1t carried
by vote of 81 to 49, This was per-
ceptibly less than by what the house
resolution, nar
vote was 6S to %.
The fun started when Mr. Burns of
Morton county moved for adjournment
which was turned down in a most de-
cisive manner. Mr.. Boyd then made
motion that the house concur in the
senate resolution, which received
second Another motion was made to
lay the former on the table, but Mr..
Price of Cass county endeayored to
change the dates Of the recess from
Feb. 3 to until Feb. to IA, which
Went without second. The previous
question was then moved and ordered.
Resolution Rsread.
Then it was requested that the reso-
luton be reread, and Mr. Boyd asked
TO withdraw his motion, stating he had
misunderstood the motion as originally
read. He was precluded from this
privilege, however, as there had been
transacted after 1t had been made, and
when the question was put, it pre-
vailed. A roll cal was called for which
was granted. Mr.. Thompson of Ward
county doubted the speakers ruling on
that point. and appealed from the de-
cision. But the chair was sustained
At the hour for adjournment another
mirthful situation presented itself. A
motion was made to take a recess UNI
ell 10 O'clock this morning. The mo-
ton was carried although there was an

effort to adjourn for the day. But the
result showed that those desiring the
recess and morning session were in
the majority and the morning sessions
now begin. The calendar is full and
carries a large amount Of business
which the speaker and many of the
members are very anxious to ruch
so as to be through by the appointed
date for adjournment.
Sitting with Speaker Hanley yester-
day was Hon. r. M. Pollock of Fargo,
former speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives in 1901 who was asked to
sit beside the presiding officer as
matter of courtesy.
Medical Bill Discussion.
When the medical bill was brought
up for discussion, an effort was made
to have 1t fixed as a special order for
some day next week, both Monday and
Thursday being suggested. Action
along that line, however, was detained
and the measure was placed on its
final reading then and there. The vote
was almost unanimous and the bill
passed as the recommendation of the
committee of the whole Tuesday after
noon had proposed.

were made almost simultaneously and
Lieutenant Governor Burdick had +, be
appealed to in order to solve the mar
llamentary difficulties in which the
senator from Grand Forks found him
SER. Conflicting statements were made
ana IT was apparent that in a few
moments no one knew exactly lust
what was doing. 1t was finally moved
by Senator Gibbons that when the
committee arose that it report to the
senate that progress had been made
which motion prevailed.
State Druggists Bill.
At the hour for communications a.
letter was received from the legisla
tive committee of the State Medical
association protesting against the
passage of S. B. 103, which is the
druggists bill. Various reasons were
given why the bill should not be
passed. 5f
another communication was receiy-
ed from someone and signed Citizens
OF the State of North Dakota" asking
that a liberal appropriation be made
Tor the aid of rural schools.
Senator Talcott moved that a resolu-
ton received from the house provid-
ing for investigation into the affairs
of the board of university and school
lands, which was passed Tuesday. be
referred to the committee on state aft
fairs, which prevailed

bill will be applicable to the statutory
enactment, while the other will be
statutory and constitutional. AS yet
it has not been announced who will
introduce the two measures.
The insurance committee of the
senate held an important meeting last
night. Much interest centers about
the Trimble bill and it is understood
that a large delegation of foreign in
surance companies were present to
argue against any legislation that will
compel them to invest any percentage
of their policies written in the state
or counties in which they operate. The
insurance committee has also many
other bills on hand which command
much attention, and Senator Simp-
sons presence was greatly desired as
his knowledge of such matters is said
to be mare comprehensive than any
other man in the senate. At one
time in the evening his belated train
was felt would considerably deter
any action tax Il by the committee
last night.
At a meeting of the committee on
judiciary yesterday, number of men
prominent in the state spoke on the
proposed legislation pertaining to the

way which seems to be the cause of
much agitation. Among those taking

quite equal to the occasion as another
colonel who last name begins with

aisle and took the seat of Representa-
tive Price and there he sat through
out the major portion of the session
just as though he had done nothing
else in all his life but sit in wheel
