By Their Fruits Ye Shall Know
Them

end on April 10, last, enacted 243
measures of which 227 were sign
ed by the governor and 16 were
vetoed. At least 100 more bills
were introduced than by the
preceding legislature and about
the same proportion of them en-
acted into law. The legislature
of 1909 passed 205 bills of which
the governor signed 203. The
legislature was democratic by a
reasonable working majority, al
though not so completely so as
the preceding legislature. A re
publican governor held something
of a check over them, although
his influence was but little felt
or needed until late in the Ses-
sion when the vetoerS began to
turn up. Every veto that was
sent to the senate was overrid-
den, and in each case the house
stood by the executive so that no
measure passed without his ap-
proval.
1t was a liberal legislature in
every respect financially. 1t spent
more than the 500, 900 %appropri-
ated for legislative salaries and
expenses; it appropriated almost
three times as much for special
purposes as did the legislature of
1909; it allowed for the mainte-
nance of the state government,
and the payment of claims out
standing against the state as a
result of the two years admins
tration preceding, almost half a
million dollars more than had the
preceding legislature. Out of the
states general fund, secured by
. levy which cannot exceed five
mills, $5O,O1O,7 91.37 was appro-
priated for the biennium as
compared with approximately the
SO, 8 900 appropriated two years
ago. The total appropriation in
Guided the one-mill levy for the
state university, four years ago
was $3,936,008; two years ago it
was $4,574, 1902, an increase for
two years of 81, 345,282.34. This
includes the university mill levy,
90 per cent of which at the pres
ent valuation would bring in ap-
proximateely $743,400 for the bic
mum, and the one-fifth mill levy
as state aid in the construction OF
bridges approximately $165,2OO

ulation to make their own char
tiers. Four of these proposed
amendments represent as many
platform pledges of the dominant
party. Another pledge, the non
partisan judiciary law, was pass
ed by the democratic legislature
and vetoed by the governor. The
pledge of state aid in the con-
structlon of highways by districts
went glimmering, through the re-
fusal of democratic legislators
to abide by it. The southwestern
agricultural school vas provided

was also the automobile law for

Affairs at Washington.

The Sulloway Pension bill is
again before congress, having
been introduced by the New
Hampshire representative whose
name it bears. While the meas
ure has not thus far attracted
any particular attention, there
are a good many of the wise
ones who are wondering what
the democratic house will do wit
it. Perhaps no subject of gener-
al legislation is so generally de-
sired as this, for the reason that
there are tens of thousands Of
old soldiers throughout the coun-
try who will directly benefit by
the increased pensions. The meas
are was easily passed by the
house Of representatives Of the
sixty-first congress and its fail
IRE in the upper branch during
the last days of the session
was charged to obstructive tao
ties resorted to by Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts. The general
impression here is that the Mass
achuetts Senator in his opposi-
ton represented the views of
President Taft, who is supposed
to be opposed to the additional
appropriations of public money
which the Sulloway bill calls
for. The president and the mem
bers of his cabinet have been
subjected to a good deal of open
criticism by members of congress
Tor the position they have taken
in reference to this legislation.
Henry c. Emery, chairman Of
the tariff board, promises that a
report Of his organization on pulp
and newspaper print paper would
be laid before President Taft
for transmission to congress with
in the next week. Mr.. Emery
says that the board made no pre-
paration for an extra session OF
congress and will therefore be
unabel to report upon the sub
.iect Of cotton and WOO schedules
until next winter. As the coun-
try has been considerably exer-
cised over these features of the
tariff, this statement by Mr..
Emery comes in the nature Of
disappointment as there is a
great demand that the wooden
schedules be considered. On the
ether hand, the defenders of the
present schedule X, have assert
ID that the statistics to be gath
cred by the tariff board will
serve to substantiate their calims
that wool growers andd wooden
manufactured are receiving no
more benefits uner the tariff
than they are entitled to.

take it into account in reckoning the
value OF advice
This giving advice is a queer bust
ness anyway. People go about it with
such extraordinary responsibility.
You know the old riddle What is
it that everybody likes to give and
nobody cares to take" and its answer
Advice"
Isn't it strange that we can feel
that way about it?''
Suppose you give a piece of advice
about a comparatively small matter
whether your friend shall go to this
place or that for her summer vaca-
ton, for instance.
Suppose she takes your advice and
goes to Camp r. instead OF Hotel NJ.
Very well. At Camp r.. she meets a
man who falls desperately in love
with her. Her parents dislike him
ana violently oppose the match. They
send for a favorite sister to come and
argue with her. The sister on her
way to do this, is killed in a railroad
accident In the meantime, the girl
has eloped and with the two calamities
the mothers heart is quite broken. Now
at Hotel NJ. she might have met just
the right man
Think how your advice changed the
current not only of her life, but OF
other lives and how it will change the
current of lives-t o-be to the third and
fourth generation-nay TO the very end
of the world.
It's like throwing a pebble into a
pond. The pebble not only disturbs the
water in it's immediate vicinity, but
starts ripples that reach distant shores.
Truly, wonder how. instead of be-
ing glib with our pebbles OF advice
we dare throw the very tiniest one into
the pool of one friends life.

So Molly. the little stenographer

We were talking over decision she
had to make. The course which her

But often times your counselors are
quite unconscious that they are doing
this. 1t is simply that they are doing
this. 1t is simply that by your desire
to have them think certain thing
you Internationally hynotize them into
your way of thinking.
The desire may be subconscious with
you. You may not even think you

3O0th Anniversary Of the Trans

English

An event of great interest to the
whole English speaking world is the
celebration on Sunday March 26. of the
3OOth Anniversary of the translation of
the Bible into English. Through the
three centuries since 1911 the words of
the Hebrew prophets, evangelists and
apostles rendered into English have
been molding the speech, thought, ideals
and civilization of the nations who use
the tongue of Milton and Shakspear.
Our debt to it is incalculable. On Sun
day morning, March %, the Rev. A. J.
Waller will preach sermon on the
"Bible.' Come and refresh your
memory as to the facts of its transla-
ton, also get a fresh conception of its
beauty and value.

1t may be expected that an experien-

them appear impracticable to the aver
