NEWSPAPER MEN AS SENATORS

Some of the newspaper men OF the
South arc in luck, or out of luck, as the
case may be looked at Some think it
is a good idea for newspaper men to
be recognized in party rewards, and
some think it is not; TINT it is the duty
of the newspaper men to howl for the
party, to urge ITS principles defend il
| boost for candidates, and then take a
back seat and let others come in and
reap the party rewards. The Governors
OF Arkansas and of Texas, however,
are not of this opinion. They seem to
think that the men who do the labor
and stress of the party work should
share in the party rewards.
Thus, the Governor OF Arkansas has
appointed as successor Of the late Sen
ator Jeff Davis from that State, j. f..
Heiskell, editor Of the Arkansas Ga
zette at Little Rock. Mr.. Heiskell is
described as man of ability, OF sound
character, and of eminent fitness for
the position. He is recognized also as
a man who has done much for the Ar
kansas Democracy, and who has pub
lic-spirited idea that the people should
be served well by their public servants.
From all accounts the appointment is
first class one
The Governor Of Texas. evidently
following the same line OF thought, has
appointed Colonel r. NJ. Johnston OF
the Houston Post, TO fill out the re.
mainder Of the term vacated by Sena-
tor Bailey. This also is pronounced to
be firstclass appointment by those
who know the man.
The Democratic party Will undoubt-
edly, be strengthened by these appoint
ments, and it is likely that the editors
so named for Senators will do good
work for the public. The Arkansas
editor will have an easy time in she'd
ding more desirable fame upon the
State than did the late jeff Davis. The
Texas man may not be so profound in
his conceit as a constitutional lawyer,
but he will have little difficulty in be-
ing a more useful Senator than Mr..
Bailey

These are samples Of the great prof

But there is another form of profit

LEGISLATIVE BUSINESS.

The Legislature of Utah is to meet
in biennial session the coming week
\ good deal of its business should be
by way Of working over and making
comprehensiblo existing and doubtful
statutes. and to reconcile conflicting
provisions in them and as between diff
ferent statutes. The courts have the
utmost difficulty at times in determin-
! ing from the wording of the statutes
and the conflicting provisions, not only
as between different statutes, but ear
| ricd within given statute itself, what
| the real meaning OF the Legislature is.
If it were possible for the Legislature
to meet and appoint an expert commits
sion to 90 over the laws and mako a
complete revision of them, eliminating
conflicting clauses. striking out sur
plusage, and in general building up
from the framework of the statutes as
passed, a consistent code Of laws. that
would be the best possible work The
Legislature could do.
There is constantly presented TO the
courts conflict of legislation that is
extremely pulling, and in some cases
absolutely impossible to reconcile. IL
the suggestions made herein were car
ried out and the Legislature should
authorize such commission, that COM
mission to report prior TO the adjourn
ment. the Legislature accepting and
enacting the report as made, the State
would be q vast gamer. IL IS possible,
indeed, that several commissions ought
to be appointed TO deal with the
different subjects OF legislation as the
enactments now stand. There should
not be too much imposed upon any one
commission. but there should be a
thorough revision of all the statutes,
and this revision should be done by
experts; the work should be done thor
oughly as well as eXpeditiously, so
that the Legislature could give its ap
proval by cuacting the report or reports
into law as a revision or code for the
State. It is time there were a re-
vision of the statutes anyway, and the
suggestion herein made would un-
doubtedly tend to clarity the laws, re-
lieve the courts of much uncertainty
in considering the law, and be bene6
cial to all the citizens in that the laws
as thus revised would be compre
hensible TO all and would need no
Of construction as between
apparently conflicting clauses in the
laws. If the Legislature would do this |
it would perform the best possible SER
vice it could do for the people Of the
State. The Legislators themselves |
could hardly do it, because they are
not as n body expert in constituting
and constructing statutes. But there

A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the posons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
During the winter months especially,
when we live an indoor life, the kidneys
shout receive some assistance when
needed, as we take less exercise, drink
less water and often eat more rich heavy
food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do
more work than Nature intended. Evil
dence of kidney trouble, such as lame
back, annoying bladder troubles, smart
ing or burning, brick-dust or sediment,
sallow complexion, rheumatism, may be
weak or irregular heart action, warns
you that your kidneys require help i'm
med lately to avoid more serious trouble.
Many physicians claim that an herbal
medicine containing no minerals er OPT
ates has the most healing influence. An
ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address

Home For Destitute Children.

On December 10th the trustees of the
Home for Destitute Children of Yer
mont reported that they had $23, 900
raised, leaving $1,000 to be secured in
order to obtain the conditional gift of
$25, 900 in memory of the late Governor
Proctor. The family of Governor
Proctor announced shortly after his
death that they would donate $25, 900
to this Vermont institution, if the same
amount could be secured from others
before January l, 1914.
Facts which plead for the endowment
of The Home for Destitute Children of
Vermont: For 81 years it has sheltered
homeless, wrecked, abused children; the
the average family is so; the pastyea it
has received 140; their ages range from
infancy to II years; four thousand have
gone forth from its kindly protection to
bless the world, to an extent which
eternity alone can reveal. Who would
not help work which brings prosperity
and honor to our state and avert misery,
disgrace and crime? 1t is not the will
of your Father which is in Heaven that
one of these little ones should perish. -
