The disagreements between the employers and miners which led to the strike, were discussed freely from every angle. Finally tentative plan was offered by the fuel admin

A Stockholm correspondent says:"1 would aqain remind the Americans that any restrictions in regard to American exports made agalnst Sweden would simply crush the poor, whose plight is pitiabe through lack of proper nutrl- tion.' Continuing he adds: q saw a group o1 children clustered around street lamp. They told me they had no light at lc..ie and had to nrepare their lessons in tle streets. That is the way the prohibitioa of the export ot Kerosene works for instance. It is stupid, too, tor Ger many is wei supplied with kerosene We would advise that correspondent to demand that Ger many supply Sweden with kerosene in return for some of the foodstuffs and ammunitons she has supplied Germany with which to wage war against America.

Speaking for myself, prepared at

fully from time to time. One of them
is to restrict the lien of landlords to
the products Of the soil on lands rent
ed or leased for farming purposes.
do not want to take away any rights
of landlords, but the present system
is much abused, and any measure is
to protect tenants against unjust
abuses from landlords. Another
measure is to put stop to the miser-
able practice which magistrates al
low to go on by jailing people for
the purpose of collecting debts, di-
rectly in violation of the constitution.
My measure is not for the purpose of
protecting criminals, but for the pur-
pose of enforcing the law in proper
way. .

The flst matter which evoked dis
cussion in the house was whether or
not it would sustain the governor
veto to an act passed at the last scs-
sion taking the appointment of the
State game warden out of the gov,
ernor's hands and putting it in an
election by the legislature. thought
the governor gave sound reasons for
his veto and voted to sustain him.
In short his reasons were that the
chief game warden was an officer un-
der the executive department of the
State, and should be under the con-
troll of the chief executive. / think
the governor is in better position to
find out the qualifications of a man
for the place than the members of
the legislature are. 1t was argued
on the floor in favor of sustaining
the veto that the success which the
present game warden, Mr.. Richard
son, has made of the office, was evil
dence that it was best to leave the
appointing power in the hands of the
governor. A great many members
who approve of the policies advocated
by Blease voted to sustain the gov
ernor. Now Mr.. Richardson was ap-
pointed by Blease, and his time eX-
= pircs sometime about March. So we
will see whether the governor, wher
