Wise and Patriotic Action

Unreserved commendation belongs the Republican
senators who. forgetting past differences, yesterday
voted to confirm the nomination of George Stephan
registrar of the state land board. The Democratic
senators who joined in honorng the former lieutenant
governor of the state by their vote entitled to their
share of this approval
With this chief stumbling block out of the way it
to be hoped that the majority party in both houses
will be able to close up its business in good shape
the few remaining days of the senate, and thus to
present to the people of the state n record of per-
formancc that will command their approval.
1t is generally understood that in the matter of de-
tail the assembly cannot be expected to please every
body In whatever form legislation is enacted per-
will be pleased, and others will be dsplcased and
the probability is that person. even in the
assembly will be entirely satisfied with everything that
is done.
But in regard to the general program of legislation
that is outlined in the party PLATFORM this different
matter, for that platform ought to be regarded as
contract between the party and the people and it is an
obligation of the and representatives to fulfill
the pledges that made therein.
The people of the state will not fail to understand
whether genuine and honest effort is made to keep
the promises of the platform, and if such an effort is
made the fact that the legislature cannot please
the fact that unfair criticisms will be made for
partisan other reasons will not affect the general
approval that will be given the legislators and to the
party.
1t is not time to waste any minutes in
apportioning praise blame The senators have done
well. The remaining time is all too short for the work
that needs to be accomplished.
