The General AssembIy's Work.
Rockingham Daily Register:

Rockingham Daily Register:
The general assembly of 1912 has
finished it's work. 1t has made it's
record and will pass into history with
the many that have gone before. How
this record is to be regarded depends
entirely on the point of view. There
are those who believe that the less
Legislature does in the way of changes
in existing laws the better its record.
10 those the record of this general
assembly will appeal. No legislature
in this generation, possibly, accom-
plished less along lines of construc-
tive legislation than the one which
has just finished it's labors. Scarcely
a question of general Importance
reached conclusions. Yet the people
were expecting much.

I tuberculosis Survey.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
will send six delegates to the seventh
International Congress on Tuberculo-
sis, to be held in Rome, April 18th
26th. They will be designated by the
United States Government through
the Secretary of State.
This association, which is active in
advising and aiding in the war
against tuberculosis in all the States.
is now making a tuberculosis survey
of West Virginia, and will continue
it through half dozen other states,
including the Seaboard States.
For this work the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis has sent out E. G.
Routzahn, director of the six-year
campaign of the American tuberculo.

under three ags." In addition to
the avowed tuberculosis fighters
Director Routzahn will seek conflden-
tial reports from commercial bodies.
health officials, school superinten-
dents, editors, city and State officials
and others.
This association, more than any
other factor, is arousing the people to
a knowledge of the Importance of this
great human scurge and encouraging
them to combat it.
Virginia is doing excellent work in
limited way in treatment and pre-
vention, but the day will come when
1T will be as much a discredit to per-
nit tuberculosis to claim a victim
without proper preventive means
being applied as it would to permit
smallpox unmolested now.

WAS 1T A FAILURE?

Was the last session of the General
Assembly a failure or success?
Opinions differ, according to the view
point. The Richmond papers, and
many of the leading papers outside,
are emphatic in their declaration that
the work accomplished was not only
far from satisfactory but decidedly
disappointing. The Times Dispatch
uses such language AS "a disgrace to
an intelligent people," The Roanoke
Times uses the whitewash brush free
ly, and berates every paper and
everybody who dares to say that the
Legislature failed in any way to mea-
sure up. saying, in speaking of the
criticism of the Richmond papers
1.-The Richmond newspapers showed
absolute lack of sense and of know
ledge of the State, people and condi
tions." And so it goes. The time,
sixty days, is not sufficient, says one
newspaper, in which to do the bust
ness required. If biennial sessions
only are to be held, the time should
be ninety days. From what we can
gather from reports and conversations
with Legislators, the lobbyists inter-
ferred seriously with the work of the
different committees. They took up
the time, put off and postponed re-
ports and in "ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain,' hindered the
work. The county treasurers and
members of the Office holders trust
focked to Richmond, and had things
their own way. Insurance and railroad
lawyers-sometimes on the commit.
tees, dictated and controlled the az.
tion of committees.
The lobbyists should be suppressed.
Men are elected by the people tn Or
to Richmond to make laws. Instead
the business is virtually turned owe,
to hired lawyers and office holders
who flock there In grea. numbers, and
have things their own way. Kick on
the lobbyists and the office holders
and let the work go on in the hands
OF the States delegated officers. One
man says that the Senate was not or.
ganizsd. Another report is that the
Senate and House were at logger
heads, and taking it all in all the
very best act of that body of men
perhaps, was the adjournment. II
should not be forgotten, however
that the representatives of the people
were sent there by the people. Thew
did not go there except by the con.
sent of the voters, and these facts
should be remembered.

messages. Governor Mann declared
that both houses had done their duty
nobly and that no further instructions
or admonitions would be forthcoming

Both committees thereupon reported

Senator Folkes, composing one-half of
the Senate thhereupon moved that the
House be informed that the Senate

the House stood ready to adjourn.

Folkes moved that the Senate adjourn

Many strange and weird bar

the municipal courts Of our city.
But you've got to hand it to DR..
Herbert R. Bumpass, now resid-
ing in the Bridewell for introduc-
ing the strangest and weirdest.

of the Natural Scientists.
This is the story that Bumpass,
who says he served in the Boxer
rebellion, the Spanish-American
war and the Philippine insurrec-
ton, told in Judge Williams
court yesterday.
Mrs. Hoffer engaged me to
write articles about the wars I
had been through, in the Think
ers' Magazine.
'I soon found out that she had
not the money to pay me for
my articles, and talked to her
about it.
"She suggested that instead of
taking money, I go to her home
and live there.
81 did so, and at her home I
met her daughter, Mrs. Wilma
Frances Minor.

q put the matter up to Mrs.
Hoffer quite frankly, and she
agreed that l did deserve an af-
finity. I supposed that Mr.. Minor
was also willing I should have his
wife, as an affinity.
so l took her, and Mr.. Minor
became angry, and had me put
out of the house. Then / got two
policemen to allow me to get back
into the house to my affinity"
Mrs. Miner took the stand and
wept as she denied all Bumpass'
charges.
Mrs. Hoffer was very indig-
nant. She also denied all of Bum
pass charges, and said:
"The whole trouble is I got
mixed up with a crazy man. He
volunteered to help me with my
magazine.
Then he began to act strange
.ly. His saying that he over
stepped the bounds of convention
with any member of my family is
ridiculous.
81 had to discharge him be-
cause he was so absurd. He came
to me last Thursday night and
pleaded with me to employ him
again. I refused and sent him
away. He was drunk.
"Instead of going away he ran
around the back of tie house.
There he found bedroom win

himself in the bedclothes.

They were displayed last week in one of the Love man, Joseph & Loeb windows. attract ing interest both because of their clev- erness of conception and execution, and because of the inscriptions which in- dicated the exhibition to be held in Bir- mingham this month of work by local artists. We have much to be proud of in the talent shown by our Birmingham painters, and appreciation is constantly growing. There Is no doubt that the exhibition and sale to be held at the Hotel -Hillman late in the month will be better attended than ever.
 The posters represented the work of teachers, students and those who only sell. The prize was divided, as the judges found 1t difficult to choose be- tween the poster offered by Miss Carrie
 Hill and MT. Louis Schillinger. There
 was a division of opinion, as well,
 among those who paused in front of
 the downtown window to examine the
 posters. All received a full mea sure
 of admiration, since there was variety
 enough for anyone's satisfaction. The
 two shown today are the work of Miss
 Lucille Douglass and Miss Hannah El-
