in the prohibition column and the
Legislature may be asked for a spe-
cial appropriation to enforce the
law. Some means must be provided
to stamp out the "spueakeasy" and
the "tiger," or the prohibition law
will not be worth the paper that it is
written on. 1t will be intereting
to hear just what Gov. Manning will
have to say on this subject. Law
enforcement is dear to his heart and
the enforcement of the prohibition
law will be one of the hardest tasks
before the chief executive. The
Legislature will also have to decide
on the disposition of the stocks held
in the Is counties, formerly having
the dispensary system.
Gov. Manning has been giving the
question of rural credits serious con-
sideration and his message will con-
tain some reference to this important
subject. Just what kind of a law
will be proposed can not be predicted
at this time.
Gov. Manning will insist upon a
continuance of the constructive pol
icy with reference to the State Hos
pital for the Insane, where wonders
have been accomplished during the
past year. Several departments of
the institution have been rebuilt and
the State is now dealing with it's in
sane in a most kindly manner. The
Governor will ask the special appro-
priation of $150,000 for the improve
ment of the building be continued.
This request will meet with little
opposition, because the appropria-
ton for the same amount was so we'll
used last year.
During the past week Gov. Man.
ming has been in conference with the
State officials when their recommen-
dations were discussed. The military
,, department of the State is asking
for $4,000 to meet the demands.
Of this sum $4,000 will he used to
refund the federal government for
lost property.
There is little prospect for wrang-
ling at the coming session.

The New Year celebrations all
over the country were held as usual
and varied according to the locality
in which they were held. In New
York the saloons were privileged to
stay open two hours longer than
usual and the gay throng on Broad
way celebrated in style. In Char
lesion the Hibernian Society held a
public reception at their hall from
noon till two o'clock and every one
who attended was treated to dish
of hopping-John. This is an annual
dish at the Society's celebrations and
helps perpetuate the old time super
stition that any one eating hopping
John on New Year will have good
luck.
