STATE NEWS LETTER


 Little Rock. Jan. lf-AIach has been aid about administration and aatl. administration forces in the General
 ssenblv. but to one on the in5is-, soline out, the 1917 Assembly ap- keats to be about the most peaceahie

There might Ft4Ta baan ines pretty closely drawn il the 6rganizationof the Senate, but hey were not drawn on adfn1nlstfallEe z IecfcipS. 1t is true that the natural opuonents eff the executive depaf.- nent were lined together, and with .hef', as q nucleus, aa effort vas made Q build machine to fufthef the nterest of certain individuals. inc oP- position to the administration al"i,$ : the minority, wiling to make trades aaturally made it's best sho&1ng m the contest for the Presidency ot the Senate. Senators who approve al most Il policies of the eXeutlve oiilce tion, being unable to get any sort of pledge from the so called "admnlst-

 The very best example of the good fellowship manifested in the Senate and the obliteration of even an lmagl- nary line dividing that body into fac tions, is written in the personnel of he committees appointed by the ffes- 4dent W. D. Davenport. The com inittee lists show that when the race for President was over, everything was forgiven and forgotten. Those who opposed Senator Davenport. al though slightly in the minority, have been honored with a majority ot the appointments. Of the 33 committees in the Senate, 19 are headed by Sena- tors who supported the opposition, and IS show a majority membership gwen to the Sims. supporters. These does not apply to the minor committees either, for such committees as Apport- ionment, Elections and Federal Rela- tions are composed wholly of Senators who opposed President Davenport and all members of the Public Service Corporation, Public Health, Memorial and Circuit and Inferior Courts, with one exception, are from the same fac ton. But one committee, the Judici- ary, which is the most important one, shows an equal division.

 And while all of this is going on the framers of constitutional amendents which are to be initiated by the people have been exceedingly busy, and Il would rot be at all surprising .to see filed with the Secretary of State the required numbr of signatures to place the measures for increasing the pow CTS of the people under the lnitiaeiVe and Referendum, for the issuance of bonds for municipal purposes, and the one increasing the number of members of the Supreme Court. on the ticket at the next general election. Ii this is done 1t will shut out all of the am enden6s proposed by the legislature, and the legislators will then be fore cd to pass the bill for a constitutional convention to get their measures pass ed upon.
 The constitutional convention bill is fathered by Senator Walker Smith. The most attractive feature about the bill Is that it allows the members only $3 per day for their services. The question of per diem will not influence the sort of man necessary as a mem ber of a Constitutional Convention. to make it success. To make attend ance at the convention compensation to him, the per diem would have to be Weel up in the figures. The man who looks to such a convention for compensation, will hardly be attrac ed by the $3 per day, but he would be if the figure was boosted to S3 or SIC per day.
 While many people believe Demon Rum had received a knockout blow in the General Assembly of 1915, 1t is evident that the old despot has a vigorous constitution and that some where spark of life still exists, from the number of liquor bills which have be introduced, and which are yet to come Practically all bills are now aimed. at the shipment of liquor into tbe state. aad to prevent 1t beIn@ ad- vertised within the state.
 That old Demon Rum has friend or two at court IS also demonstrated by the amendents which are offered, and efforts to block or delay temperance legislation. The amendents are in- tended to make the measures so drast- c that the people will rebel and cause the pendulum to swing back to where local option will again be considered.
 The temperance workers have been advised to pick out laws of other pro hibition states, which are working sat isfactorily, and pattern after them, in- stead of trying something new. In this way too drastic laws may be avoided and the cause of prohibition continued indefinately. There is little sentiment against pro- ate sent land tax amendent to the House last week, and the House read it twice the first day and referred it to a committee that will not organize

"Don't Worry''
 MARION MURPHY

All writers live with the hope that
 at some time they will be permitt-
 ed to write upon an almost perfect
 subject. A subject that needs not
 be glossed with an idle display of
 words and phrases, or veneered
 with empty paragraphs of synoms,
 similes, and metaphors. When
 that hope is realized, and the op-
 portunity so eagerly sougth Is at
 hand, it becomes apparent that
 the writer has hoped without the
 reckoning of his own meager ab-
 ility. He finds that words are not
 forth coming to do the subject
 the justice that 1t so easily merits,
 and the writer soon realizes that
 his vocabulary and his ability fall
 far short of the greatness, the
 depth and the sublimiity of the
 task at hand.

To Art Exhibitors

The art exhibit at the county
fair is one of the most impor-
tant of all the interesting eXhi-
bits. It's value to the public
should not be measured alone by
the individuals who exhibit their
pictures, but by all men and
women alike. Children always
enjoy pictures and art objects
though they may not appreciate
their Importance and value to
the public. An art exhibition
is not in the same way of value
to the public as the exhibition
Of livestock or fruits, but it is
Of no less Importance because it
has unlimited educational values.
In the art division of the coun-
ty fair bulletin the work is
classed as follows: Oil, water
color and pastel painting; studies
in black and white photography,
China painting, basketry and
bead work. The pictures, as far
as possible, should be originals
and not copies of prints or other
paintings.
Show Photographs.
Photographs may be entered
in albums or in groups or as
single specimens. Give especial
care to mounting and arrange
ment. This should be one of the
most popular exhibits for there
is no other place in Minnesota
which offers better facilities for
artistic photography than Red
wood County.
The China painting division
will be conducted under the same
general rules as before.
Indian Exhibit.
Plans are being made to Sc
cure an exhibit of bead and
needle work from the Agency,
and if they decide to enter their
work, it will be of great interest
and pleasure to display their eX-
hibit.
Those who live away from
Redwood Falls may write in to
c. V. Everett, enclosing remit
lance for exhibitors tickets.
State how many entry tags you
need. Keep a duplicate and at
tach one to the picture or object
you wish to exhibit, then if it is
not convenient to bring them to
Redwood Falls, send them to the
committee in charge and they
will be taken care of and proper
ly placed in the exhibit.-De-
partment Superintendent.
