Too Late TO Worry

A few weeks ago, the esteemed
Arcadia News, referring to the
fact that The HERALD spoke fa-
vorably of the legislature at the
time themembers were assembling,
expressed a wish to know what
this paper thinks of the legislature
now. 1t has been thinking a great
deal of late of that body and it has
come to the conclusion that all
the. mean things which the news
papers and the business men of
the state have been saying about
it, are richly deserved, but what
good does it do to worry now?
If the members of the legisla-
ture were the set of simpletons
they are now charged with being,
were not all of us a lot of bigger
slmpletons for electlng such a
crowd of stupids and incompe.

they are smart fellows, for didn't

Instead of abusing them, we onght

which passed the law, not twenty
five of them can correctly conduct

that, when it comes time to APP
point managers of next years pri-
maries, members of the'late legisla-
ture be appointed in every county,
and, if they do not send up the re-
turns in correct and legal shape
within forty-eight hours after the
polls close, that a committee of
merchants who are now suffering
in mind and purse from that cou-
pom law, be appointed to take
them out and bump them against

the merchants, insurance agents
and picture show people to begin
the humping process right now.
Cussin won't do any good; any
body can stand a cussin. In this
case, drastic measures are abso-
lutely necessary.
But stop! hold! What did we
say? It's not the legislators that
need a humping; il is US, we our
selves, for we elected them and in
socdoing authorized them to do
any devilment that came into their

mise the suggestion that he endorse

provision that sugar be free after that
