The evil effects Of the disturbing ele-
ments that marked this unfortunate
legislative sitting from the first will be
felt for long time, In public matters as
well as personal associations. In the
first place, the indifference Of members
of the Legislature to the interests Of the
people may in6ict much injury hereafter,
unless the lessons of the special session
shall be taken TO heart by those concerned
in the grave matter of an effective and
beneficial administration Of public affairs.
There is no doubt that had the members
settled down 10 practical and intelligent
work at the outset. remaining IN Dover
Ct nights instead Of running away each
afternoon, thus adding heavily 10 the
expenses and wasting much valuable
time, the work Of the session could have
been completely accomplished in at least
three weeks at the utmost. The people
now know how vastly different is the actual
record
The members also we're culpable for
opening the doors TO business outside Of
the three items specified in Governor
Townsend's call Some Of the legislation
they enacted may be Of Importance, but
no public interest would have been adj
versely affected by postponement until
the regular session, next January. And
the wisdom Of some Of the appropriations
that were authorized may be seriously
doubted at this time

DECISION.

There's no limit placed on You
Save whats right and wrong TO do;
No one here has power To say
That you may not work OF play,
None may order you to stop.
None may keep YOU from the top.
Life will cheerfully return
All that you are pleased to earn.
You are master of your strength
And your fortunes breadth and length
You decide which road you'll take,
How much money you will make;
You determine when you're hit
Whether you'll fight back OF quit:
Here on earth you stand alone
Making your decisions known.
All your whole life's story through
Centers on the thing that's you;
Swayed perhaps at times you are,
BY life's currents carried far.
Tempted sorely now and then,
Striving with your fellow men;
But when all is said and done,
You have lost or you have won.
How much money do you need?
What shall be your golden creedP
How high do you care to climb?
How shall you divide your timer
How much will you do and dare
For the crown YOU hope to wear
These life asks, and II is true
None can answer them but yol
You alone have power to say,
In your hours Of work and play,
I. 30. etc ~
Pure Of heart and clean of hand
Rather than to stain your soul
For some temporary goal,
In this worldly place you I'll
You are master of your will

The Special Session a Costly Failure.


Now that the special session of the
Legislature has come to an end, 1t is
easy to see that in respect Of results it has
been failure-and very costly failure
All the good that can be claimed for it
will not begin to compensate for the evil
it has left in is train.
The special session was called by
Governor Townsend against protests
which at this time he doubtless feels very
sorry he did not heed-for three specific
purposes:
To extend relief to the Washington
Bridge Commission in this city by enlarg-
ing its borrowing capacity.
To appropriately amend the School
Code. so as to increase its efficiency and
relieve the people Of some Of the burden
Of taxation it imposes in its present form.
To ratify the Equal Suffrage Amend
ment to the Constitution Of the United
States.
The first purpose was easily fulfilled.
The other two resulted in failure.
