NOTHING DOING.

The first half OF our present term Of
the legislature was used mostly in the ef-
fort to pass new constitution. Little or
nothing was done during the discussion
of this proposed innovation. The final
result showed a house divided against
itself. Not only this, but large amount
Of needed legislation has been and will
be disposed of on the merits of the great.
er struggle instead OF the merits of the
particular measure.
1t is very unfortunate when the legisla.
ture thus divides on political issues on
practicall, all questions that come be.
fore it. Nine tenths if not more, of the
bills introduced have no real political
bearing whatever. For instance tie
question of the maintenance OF our
educational or other institutions has no.
real reason to get into the slough of po i
tics, but the politics are there and often
the principal issue.
Certain senators or representatives
find their hands tied because they have
supported or fought some political
measure and find it impossible to get a
bill past committee report, when the
bill itself is meritorous and perhaps of
a purely local nature.
That new constitution had for one of its
proposed provisions that the legislature
meet once IN four years. Though the
proposed change was voted down, yet in
effect it is!in force, because the present
legislature so far has done nothing but
tight over issues that were really settled
on the day the legislators took their
seats, for it was then known as we'll as
when the vote was taken that the house
and the senate would not agree on poll
ticai questions-aud the majority OF the
house made it a political question.
Doing but little or nothing this term
means that the next legislature will
have to do the work of this term and
there own work too, thus making but
one legislature IN four years.
This means that large amount of
absolutely necessary legislation will
have to be passed during the last week
Of the term, with the consequent rush.
hurry and lack of consideration.
In such cases no wonder that the re,
suits of the term of an average legisla-
ture is so unsatisfactory to the people.
+ Politics is bad juice in which to stew
good green vegetables. IT the majority
of the legislators were really "non-par-
tisan" IN their deliberations it would
be much better for the state.

Pastor Makes Report

After having completed his last
sermon before conference on Sunday
night, Rev. S. N. Pilchard, pastor OF
Zion NJ. E. Church, read before a
large audience his final report, which
was as Follows:
Receipts during the year for be-
nevoleACes, current expenses and
church debt $500.
Seventy conversions and fifty-sev-
en- received into the church.
At the close of the fourth year,
under Air. Pilchard's pastorate, the
church debt has been reduced from
$4,000 to $4,000. During the
Jour years there have been $50 per-
sons added to the membership.
This is a splendid record for the
pastor OF Zion M. E. Church. Under
The passionate OF Rev. Pilchard the
church has made wonderful pro-
gress, religiously as well as finan-
cially, and it has all been done SO
quietly that everyone was surprised
when he read his annual report Sun
day night. He is loved and admired,
lot only by his own congregation but
also by all the churches and people

In Case Of War

II this nation is to engage in war.
and 1t appears to US that we are already
so engaged, it would be very fortunate
Il Congress could be organized on a
non-partisan basis, and if during the
conflict We could all forget the terms,
pemocrats and republicans. Let Clark
or Mann be speaker. then let the prin-
cipal committees be divided between
the two parties, let the Presid. snt select
three or four of the most prominent
republicans or progressives for cabinet
positions, and then all pull together for
the most, vigorous and effective prose-
cution of the war.
Such a proposition would come with
better grace from the majority party,
but should such course be pursued, it
would convince hostile nations as moth
ing else would that this nation was
united, and that no friendly welcome
would be accorded any hostile toe with
in our borders.
In the face of war, very little legis-
lation of partisan nature will be at
tempted by any congressman with the
leaft grain of patriotism.

With all Of the war talk. you will
notice that there seems to be very little
feeling against Germany as a people.
We believe that when this war ends,
the German emperor will be shorn of
a great deal of his power, if he IS not
actually displaced. If this happens
Germans will, we believe, agree twenty
or fifty years from now that the sue
cess of the Kaiser's war would have
been more harmful to them than defeat.
