THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION ENDS.

The legislature adjourned for the session yesterday
morning, after an entire night spent IN wranghng. II
was the elimination of days of plotting schemng and po
ltca intrigue disproyng the prediction argument that
harmony and good feeling would contribute to constIuc
tive legislation if the governor and legislative majority
were of the same political faith In its last days the Ses
sion degenerated into fight for spois and how to acquire
speedily the official jobs in the gift OF the administration
was uppermost in the minds of the members.
The senate led in the political schemng and its pro-
gram was showed through by good working majority de-
spite the protests of those who desired first the welfare
of the state reegating party eXpedency to secondary
place The house majority not in accord with this
program and it must be said contained many earnest
hard-workng members one of the most conspicuous OF
these being Representative Cobb chairman Of the mpor
tant ways and committee and ne received assist
ance from others just sincere and earnest In the
end however the political pressure was so great that the
lower house surrendered somewhat to the senate and its
otherwise excellent record was to certain extent inn
paired Speaker Selling proved himself capable presid
ing officer and generally threw his influence on the side
Of constructive sane and economical legislation. He will
deserve well of the people should he ever ask their conf
dence and trust in the future.
AS to net results accomplished during the session. a
Just summary is at this time impossible Measures were
cut and carved and crowded through during the last forty
eight hours in such tumble that it is doubtful if even
majority of the members themselves know definitely
what they voted on When the record of bills passed
and defeated is carefully gone over it will be possible to
reach more satisfactory conclusion Certain it is that
the State appropriations VIII De very neaVy aInougn ne
pruning knife used in some places Some heavy ad
Gitons to the payroll made especially in the matter
of creating district Judges Not less than OF
these appointments are to be made at $4,000 year EACH
and probably not single of them was really neces-
say Personal and political reasons and desire to pro-
vide more jobs were back of this unprecedented increase in
the number of judicial positions.
Out of the war of factions Governor WithycOmbe
seems to have emerged stronger than at the beginning
While he might have taken more active part in the fight
for constructive economical legislation he has at least
shown himself dignifed and conservative If allied with
any of the factions fighting for political spols he has
done little nothing indicate it, and there is growing
impression that he will conduct his administration in a
manner which will stamp him the real governor of the
