Light on early day Indian fighting in
Shis region is thrown by a letter that
was written in 1898 by T, J. Small a
lieutenant to T. A Wood, grand COM
Ssander Of the Indian war veterans, 1t
was as follows:
nv Dear Sir never desired a
biography of myself to be written, the
world and mankind are not interested
IN my adventures. struggles, afflic-
tions. sad bcreavements and tender
affections. The pen Of no true friend,
or myself, can at this time furnish
thought to illustrate my very dark
GATEWAY this far in life. 1t seems to
me now that there never was any
sound reason or necessity for my hav-
ting to breathe but as I did breathe il
has always seemed to me that I
should have breathed the sweetest,
brightest and baImiest air on earth.
] am now convinced that the world
never wanted me for no important
place was created for me to fill.

In Mt Pleasant. Maury county, Tenn,

Reform the Legislature

The Indiana Legislature is in session. The
usual flood of bills will be poured into the legis
ative hopper and the usual number of poor laws
will be added to an already overcrowded statute
book the result being that instead of gaining
beneficent legislation from the session OF the
General Assembly the state in a few months will
be that much worse off. This sad commentary
on the Indiana law makers is applicable to the
other states Of the Union. All Of them are suf-
fering from the same ailment.
The Legislatures themselves need reforma-
ton. The system is Anticipated and the men
who constitute it are not trained for the work
Here can be found the weakness of the system.
A century ago when parliamentary govern
ment was young, the Legislature answered the
needs of the sparsely settled state for which it
made laws. Conditions have changed wonderful
" in hundred years. A thousand problems con-
front the law makers today instead of the hun
dred that the Legislature had to consider when
the state was first admitted into the Union
The problems of today are not simple ones
either, but so complex that financial business,
industrial and professional experts are needed to
solve them. The profundity and the complex ma
ture of these problems require that centralized
body weigh them, draft the measures and pre-
sent them to the General Assembly. Instead of
this mode OF procedure, bills affecting the most
vital interests of the state are referred to COM
mittees composed of men who have had little if
any experience in the questions at issue. the re-
suit being that committee action is not based on
a comprehensive knowledge of the bill. Under
the very best circumstances an important bill is
seldom thoroughly understood
We see this in the operation of the present
public utilities act, designed to protect the inter-
ests of the people against the corporations, but
in reality favoring the corporations to detri-
ment of the people, as the experience of Rich
mond and other cities conclusively shows. Had
this bin been drafted by men who had had a far
reaching understanding of the points involved
had municipal experts been on the committee
that reported it for passage, had students of the
states welfare been in the two houses that passed
it, the present law would have had different
complexion.
This instance could be multiplied indefinitely
to show that the present committee system of
handling bills is inefficient. The hundreds of
small bills, thrown into the legislative hopper by
