-
The legislature opened its annual
session Tuesday. It has always ap-
sneared to5a casual observer that there
: is no necessity for the passing OF SO
many laws. A few laws, enacted in
such manner as to be declared con-
stitutional by the courts, will I'LL the
hiIl and we could very well dispose
sof many laws that are now on the
statutes. 1t seems to be the idea OF
many of our legislators that the leg
ielature meets for no other purpose
than to pass lawss
! We are pleased to give our readers
today practically in full the annual
message of Governor Manning. The
message will be found very interest
ling to those who have desire to
keep up with the affairs of the State.
The governor urges upon the general
assembly the Importance of an eco
nomical administration of affairs, yet
he does not desire to cripple any of
the various State institutions. He
wants the tax levy placed at a mini
mum As was to be expected, the
governor has good deal to say about
law enforcement, and he feels that
there is ia better understanding in
this regard among the people of the
State

Burkitt at Work.

Can it be possible that Assistant
Postmaster Burkitt, Of Winnetka, H.,
is being, hazed? If the news tele-
grams are trustworthy 1t would al
most seem so.
Mr. Burkitt, whose expression OF
views on second marriage proprieties
recently lifted him from an unobtru-
sive status to national celebrity, is
back on the job which his conversa-
stional indiscretions cost him-back
s BY peremptory order from the white
house itself. With undoubtedly re-
vised conceptions of the advantages
Incident to refraining from combin-
ing sociological discussions with his
clerical duties, there is no reason
why he. might not have disappeared
from view as suddenly as he emerged
But apparently this is not to be-
& Originally merely victim to his own
delivery window conversational gifts
he now promises to become again con.
spicuous as martyr to the rigors Of
official tyranny.
The plain implication of recent
Chicago news dispatches is that his
august superior, the postmaster o1
Winnetka, ''has it in for him. if We
may be permitted to use the phrase
To begin with, Mr.. Burkitt's recep
ton when he returned to his dutie:

San Antonio, Texas, March 10
While regiments of United States cav
airy, heavily supported by infantry,
awaited General Pershing's order to-
day to advance into Mexico, General
Carranza's troops, according to in
formation received here, worked des-
perately TO effect the capture of Villa
in order to forestall an entrance into
Mexico by American forces.
Ma1orGeneral Funston received re-
ports of increased activities of the
de facto government troops. but there
was no disposition at his headquarters
TO regard the activities as anything
more than evidences of Carranza's de-
termination TO cooperate with the
United States in eliminating Villa.
General Funston remained in his
oilice until after midnight to receive
reports from General Pershing. Ameri-
can troops would be across the bound
AIRY line early to-day, but General
Funston himself said he did not know

Exploding Oil Stove
Causes Fire ON Hill

An exploding oil stove in the cellar
of the home of G. f. Griffey, 1881
Berryhill street, caused small fire
and slight damage at o'clock this
morning. Mr.. Griffey had been doing
some work in the cellar and was using
a small oil stove to furnish light. For
some unknown cause the stove cX-
ploded and scattered oil in all direc-
tionS.
Mr.. Griffey got several buckets and
tried to conquer the flames but after
fighting them single-handed for about
20 minutes he decided to let the fire
companies help him. A neighbor
sounded the alarm and soon after the
blaze was subdued. Aside from the
burning of window sashes in the Gel
lar and some articles stored i'm the
cellar there was little damage. Smoke,
however. filed the house and the resi-
dence of William Lchr, next door
