THE LATE UNLAMENTED LEGIS
LATURE.

Owing to rather strict legal re-
straints on using of the mails for the
carrying of certain printed matter,
we were prevented from employing
the second mate of a Mississippi river
steamboat to properly write up the
accomplishments of the only non-par-
tisan legislature in captivity, which
has just adjourned sine die, with en-
phasis on the "die." The wild scenes
of disgraceful disorder that marked
its close was typical of its character
and labors. The spectacle of men was
chosen by the electors, to legislate for
the needs of a great commonwealth,
with scores of important measures re-
naming Enacted upon, putting in the
closing hours of the session in hilar-
ious horse-play, that would make a
college campus celebration of a foot
ball victory seem tame in comparison,
is one that the common-sense popula-
ton should devote all their time to
forgetting during the coming months,
and the same horse play marked the
entire session only it grew more I'M
bridled toward the close.
1t is true that some really valuable
legislation was enacted, but it was the
result of "flukes," rather than the re-
suit of careful consideration, intelli-
gent organization or intellectual,
forceful leadership. Most of the time
was devoted to fruitless discussion of
unimportant affairs with the members
least qualified to cuss doing the most
of the cussing. The general concen-
sus of opinion in the state being that
it would have been better if the ses-
sion of 1915 had never been held and
the election of 1914 had been omitted.
The strange feature of the case is
that even a casual and superficial ex-
animation of the membership of the
late, unlamented legislature discloses
the fact, that as individuals, major
ity of its membership was composed
of men of high order, undoubted abil-
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1915-04-29

ity and unquestioned integrity. Com
pared, member by member, to past
bodies, it was the equal, if not the
superior of any legislature in recent
years; but as an organization it was
woefully inefficient, it lacked team
work; like playful kitten chasing it's
tail, it travelled round and round in
circles without getting anywhere.
This was not the fault of the legis-
tors but due to the manner of their
selection. Voters no longer select the
legislative nominees, they select
themselves. Under our present ar
chaic system of nomination and cleo
ton candidates are not called by the
public, or any portion of the public, to
run for office, they just grab them
selves by their wristbands of their
own trousers and lift themselves into
the race. There are no caucuses, con-
ventions or other gatherings of repre-
sentative men to present composite
public demands in the concrete form
of a platform and nominate men
pledged to the same; each candidate
presents a platform of his own max
ing and it is different from every
other candidates platform, and as
there is no more reason why the
others should climb upon his platform
than he should mount theirs; all COM
monality of legislative purpose is
eliminated, so legislation becomes a
mere game of solitaire, no one ever
wins anything and all THAT is accom-
plished is the passing away of time
and drawing salaries and mileage.
There are no party issues or party
responsibilities. Each legislator has
a set of handmade issues of his own
and is responsible only to himself, and
instead of suborinating himself to the
public veal, he subordinates the pub
lie welfare to his own interests and
ambitions.
The chaotic condition of the last
legislature, the useless frittering
away of time, the endless discussion
of unimportant topics, the rough
house, horse play, the utter lack of
control on the part of the presiding
officer, which characterized the last
session, was not the fault of the in
dividual members but the result of
the abnormal, unnatural condition I'M
der which they were nominated and
elected.
An assembly of Websters, Clays,
Calhouns, GarfieldS, CarliSles, Cleve-
lands, Blaines and Reeds, chosen I'M
der similar conditions would not have
done any better, perhaps not as well.
AS long as these conditions continue
the same results will accrue, only they
will grow constantly worse.
