DRUNKEN BEES MAKE LIFE
MERRY FOR THEIR OWNER

Alcohol has the same effect on
bees that it does on human beings,
according to j. F. Franklin of
HALEY, WHO is the owner of a large
apiary near that city. Franklin
fed his bees on a mixture of sugar
and alcohol during the first warm
days of the spring, and as a result
they alightcd upon him. some APP
parently petting him. while others
fell 20 and stung him vigorously.
Franklin is one of those favored by
some sort of mystic choice in
nature where by, as a rule, bees do
not bother him, but the comhina-
ton alcohol and sugar was too
much for them and their natures
became perverted with the result
that Franklin wore handages for
se!eral days thereafter.
1T is the first experience | ever
had with drunken bees said MIR.
Franklin at the state house yestcr-
day were he went for the purpose of
visiting the officials of the state
horticultural department on blssi-
ness.
"1ncidently. | never was stung
in my life before and | have
handled bees ever since | was a boy
of 10 years Of age. Bnt | would
not advise anyone to experiment on
bees with sugar and alcohol unless
they are looking for troublc."--

This is the first day of spring.
according to the lines we learned
about sixty years ago. Here they
are:
March the 2ist is spring,
When little birds begin to sing,
To build their nests and hatch

And with tender care provide

The day is lovely and one that

when O'Hara was first con.
fronted by Engineer Rouse and
Conductor W. A. Middleton he
turned pale an shivered nesvously.
Rouse seems more certain that he
is right in accusing O'Hara Of
being the man who held him up
than any victim of a highwayman
/ ever saw. This is reasonable,
because he had an abundance of
opportunity to study him.
Under the advice of counsel and
his brother. who is cashier of the
Aurora National bank of Michigan
O'Hara would not listen to my
suggestions to return to Utah and
clear himself if he was not guilty.
However Clore told me he was
willing to return when l talked
with him in the county Jail at
Mount Clemence. Mich. He said
that he could prove an absolute
alibi. But Sheriff George Harris
would not listen to the proposition
permitting Clore to return volun-
tarily.
'Clore is more the type of a man
who would hold up a train than
O'Hara. Conductor Middleton
AMI Engineer Rouse did not see
enough of Clore if he we're the
man who assisted in the holdup

The governor suggested sending
special repr cs~entatives to Utah to

informed ME that on April ~ he
would be ready,,to honor the. requisi-
tion papers of Governor Spry if
by that time no successful attempts
had been made to prove to his
satisfaction that O'Hara- an Clore
were innocent of the holdup."
While in Michigan Sheriff Sharp
instructed deputy sheriffs at Bing-
ham to investigate the claim of
O'Hara and Clore that they were in
Bingham or the night of the train
robbcy. The rooming house does
not maintin a register and as near
as deputy she:iffs could learn,
O'Hara and Clore were not in

Before returning to Salt Lake

GOVERNOR ODDIE AND THE LEGISLATURE

The action of Governor Oddir in
sending the special message to the
members of the Legislature. where
iE he attempted to defend the
policies that he has advocated.
seems to the mind of the ordi larry
laym:" as somewhat childish.
1t has ucen a we'll understood fact
ever since the opening of the
present session of the legislature
that there his been considerable
friction between both parties; but
none ever thought that the
present executive would criticise
the democratic party because
they refused to stand by and vote
for the policies that we're instituted
by him.
In his message he casts consider
able reflection upon the stand and
position that the newspapers Of
the state have taken regarding the
present session of the Ie glslatre:
hut he evidently for gets that the
newspapers of the State are the
index of the public feelings and
when they have repeatedly
requested that &c members that
have been supposed to represent
their various counties get down to
business and cut out their wrang-
ling they simply voiced the senti-
ments Of the entire people.
While the underlying motives
that have prompted the action of
the ones concerned in tie legisla-
tive and executive Departments may
never be known it appears to be a
childish action on the part of the
executive branch Of the govern
ment. The fact that he felt that
he was so insecure in the position
that he had taken. that he deemed
it necessary to send a special
message to tie legislature and
endeavor to explain his position
seems to further weaken his cause.
From all that can be learned Of
the present session of the legis-
lature and the actions OF the COVER
nor, it seems that the bone Of con-
tentioh seems to be the distribution
of patronage. The idea that the
Tribune has is that when a n an is
selected TO represent his on
sfituent and assist in the making
Of laws that will most benefit the
state, he should for the time being
lay aside all ideas Of politi ,al
patronage and work solely and
alone for the best interests Of the
state. He should remember that
it is not a question Of party
control, but what will best serve
the interests of the people. In
making the statements in his
message that he did, we cannot
help but feel that the governor
was actuatcd by political feelings
and that he lost sight Of the fact
that the measures he wanted
passed and said he would veto
unless the patronage vas Tlaccc in
his hands instead Of in the hands
Of a democratic board, we're
beneficial to the entire state and
that there arc democrats in this
state just as capable of administer
ing affairs as is he. Spark Tribune.
