The appointment of Franklin D.

will be noted in New York political
circles as Of very great significance.

Here is the advance comment of the
New York Evening Post upon this
prospective appointment.
We hope it is true that Senator Frank

post Of Assistant Secretary of the Navy,

THE LEGISLATIVE SURPRISE.

This was effected by the incontinen'
slaughtcr OF scores of measures before
both houses. There was no time tc
consider them. The vast majority OF
propositions before the Legislature were
killed.
The chief failure OF the Legislature
was IN its refusal 10 make new ar
portionmeut OF the state for legislative
purposes. Another bad failure was the
refusal 10 provide for a girls dorni
tory at the state University.
The appropriation bill was necessa-
rily cut severely. but even as it stands,
good deal of criticism could be made

much. The appropriation, Jointly or

other. is very likely invalid hv reason
of It's indefiniteness. and since the

actual necessities, IL might nc worth
