highways. The two measures above
mentioned have heretofore been de-
Teated by Legislatures that were said
TO be more progressive than the one
that has adjourned. This legislature
had the wisdom and the courage to
enact these laws that mean real pro-
gress in our industrial and social life.
The enactment of the law restrict
ing the shipment of intoxicating IL
quors IN the State is an advance step
toward the more complete enforce
ment Of prohibition. The enforce
IQent of this law will effectively put
al end to blind tigers and to the de-
moralization resulting from the Illicit
traffic in whiskey.
The primary law is also step for
ward. While it may not be all that
some of the advocates of the primary
would desire, it will be an applfca-
tlon Of the principal of popular nonli-
nations and if satisfactory will result
IN It's general application to all the
onces of the State.
The act establishing on Mftche1fs
Feak State park will save and pro
tect this most noted mountain in the
eastern part of the North American
content. 1t is an act that reflects
credit upon the legislature and upon
t3e prevailing sentiment Of the peo-
pie behind 1t.
Many statutes were passed of local
ana OF general importance that will
!e TO the encouragement of the best
interests of the State.
The Legislature was liberal in its
appropriations to our educational ami
eleesmosynary institutions. The
amounts set apart for these institu-
uons may be large, but it was in &C
eoroance with wise policy that viii
result IN moral and intellectual deVel-
tppment, and in the improvement OF
health conditions.

y. many people in the various parts
