be avoided at the end Of the next
fiscal year.
1t is known that Governor Fielder
and all other high officials of the State
are deeply in earnest about this phase
of the work of the administration dur
ing its first year, and that the only
consideration will be the financial vel
fare of the State, coupled with a de-
termination that the efficiency Of State
departments and institutions will not
be materially lessened. While it is held
in some quarters that a State tax
would not be such a dreadful thing
as is held by others, and that it would
at least serve to make the people gen.
orally take a greater interest in State
business, there is a desire to avoid it
If such a thing is possible. Governor
Fielder has given the subject greater
attention than has been given to the
same matters by any Governor in
many years, and has given more per-
sonal attention to the various State
institutions and departments than has
been customary and is therefore in a
position to direct the course Of the
Legislature and of the State into the
proper channels to bring about de-
sired and absolutely necessary results.
He has indicated an intention to take
hold Of the problems involved with a
strong hand and he will be backed
to the fullest extent by the other fore
es of his administration, s~including his
Immediately official family.
There has been comparatively little
doing of real Importance. Between
three and four hundred bills have been
introduced, but. with few exceptions,
there is none that is regarded as of
Statewide interest or Importance. Ev-
en- in the preferential primary mea-
sure there is not the general interest
being shown that the subject warrants.
Many Of the other measures put for
ward are intended to correct errors or
to strengthen laws of the last two or
three years in which flaws have been
found when they were put to the
tests of practical operation.
The pass system in this State is
absurd enough in everything, and late
ly has been made worse by the IN
consistency of the railroad rulings af-
fecting certain officials. These rulings
are supposed to be based upon charter
requirements, yet exceptions are made
in favor of certain officials for no
adequate al The only reasonable
solution of the matter is to abolish
all passes and let officials pay their
way like the rest of the world.

That started happily, but died
Through some mistake unrectihed.
All, Valentine, on this your day
Release those hearts you've laid away.
Who owned them all, did this one wait
In indecision till too late?
Was this one withered by a word
From some old gossip overheard?
This one is old, yet came to you
Trusting and light when it was new.
And one mayhap is waiting yet
Who loved it and can't forget.
And so. st. Valentine, we pray
Give back the hearts you've laid away.
I'm sure that they will find the way
Back to the love of yesterday;
Give heed to this poor plea of mine,
Give them a chance, st. Valentine.
And there Is one within your store
THAI I have long been seeking for.
And since her heart, the best of them.
Is there among the rest of them,
Make this Emancipation day;
Set free the hearts you've laid away.
