THE SCHOLAR.

This life, and all that it contains to him
Is but tissue of luminous dreams
Filled with book wisdom, pictured thought and
love
That on its own creations spends ITSELF
All things he understands. and nothing does.
Profusey eloquent in copous praise
OF action. he will talk TO you as one
Whose wisdom lay in dealings and transactions
Yet so much action might tic his shoe
Can not his will command; himself alone
BY his own wisdom not jot the gamer.
OF silence, and the hundred thousand things f.,
II is better not to mention, he will speak,
And still most wisely.
Henry Taylor.

WISE COUNSEL IN SENATE

by refusing to lose ITS temper the
Texas Senate got much the better of
the situation created by Governor
Neffs rcbuke OF that body for its fail
urc to enact certain revenue legislation
and its alleged "smothering" of the
quo warranto bill providing for the re-
moval of local officers. Apparently
the majority of the members deeply
resented the governors imputations,
which were indisputably improper to
say the least. But few of the senators
were so resentful that they almost lost
their heads.
The Hotspurs in the upper chamber
proposed to shoot the governors
proclamation right back to him, with
the compliments of the Senate" The
man who made the motion to that effect
is evidently a fighter-evidently in a
double sense, for his name is Murphy.
An effort also was made to have ex-
plunged from the record the governors
remarks about the fate of the quo war
ranto bill.
But wiser counsel prevailed. Senator
Burkett led the Senate back to calm
reason when he said that it has no
authority to expunge from the records
any official message from the governor.
But his most relevant contribution to
the discussion was his expression Of
the wish that the governors proclama-
ton should be printed in the Senate
Journal in the exact form in which it
had been received from the chief execu-
tive's hands, so that the people of Texas
might form their own opinions of him.
Thus did the Senate refuse to disarm
itself and give its adversary an adj
vantage for the encounter that may
mark the proceedings of the special
session of the Legislature which Gov
ernor Neff called at the same time
that he offended the members of the
upper house. If the Senate had been
SO undignified as to display its wrath
in a formal way, its influence upon
public opinion would have been greatly
impaired. The governor need not be
surprised if he should find that his own
display of bad temper had cost him
heavily in the coin of both political and
personal respect.
However, the Hotspurs in the Senate
may have performed a service of some
value by drawing immediate attention
to the issue. Nowadays, it sometimes
seems, one has to make a noise to gel
the worlds attention. But though
spectacular means may have to be re-
sorted to for that purpose, the moment
the worlds attention is attracted, thC
wise person, il he has anything worth
while to offer, will put aside his sym
balls and megaphone and present hi,
proposition in a simple, straightforward
manner, content to let it stand or fal
on its own merits. For the world vii
not linger long before the tent of al
obvious faker.

of the world. All that any representa-
tive has to do to have his vote recorded
whenever roll-call is demanded is to
reach forward on his desk and push d
button, somewhat as 4 business man
would do in summoning his stenograph-
or. If he please he may look, liter
ally, at the message thus conveyed to
the instrument, but the chances arc
that after watching his own name on
the board a few times he looks to see
how others are voting. He may want
to change his vote, and that he can do
very easily until certain signal is
given.
This electrical system of calling the
roll was adopted by the House because
the membership of that body was so
great, numerically, as to make record
voting an almost Unsuitable time-con-
sumner. If three members of the House
demanded a roll call on any measure,
the clerk would have to read out the
name Of every member, pausing between
names to record each successive vote.
Thus many hours day might be, and
not infrequently were, spent in calling
literally "calling"-the roll.
Under the system now employed the
roll is not called" in the literal sense.
On huge board above and back of
the speakers stand are written in al
phabetical order the names of all the
members of the House. When a repre-
sentative pushes one of two buttons
on his desk, a "Y" or an "N' appears
opposite his name on the roll board ard
is Illuminated by a small colored light.
Immediately after the fall of the speak
er's gavel the board is photographed.
The entire process requires only few
seconds; the device as Clever" as clock,
and apparently gives less trouble. 1t is
not new, of course, except TO people
visiting the capitol for the first time,
or after a lapse of a few years.
To such people, unless they believe
in everything that the Texas Lcgisla
turc does, the value of the electric voting
machine may seem qucstionable-not
from the time-saving standpoint, but
from the broadest of Ill standpoints,
the general welfare. They might come
to the conclusion that it would be
of economy in the interest of
the state as a whole, if this device
should be thrown out, particularly when
tax measures are under consideration.
Then the ends of economy would be
served by all the time-killing of which
the House was capable.
Before this device was installed the
House would consume days and days
in considering a single tax bill, and
to take the final vote on the measure
would be no little task. But now it is
easier to "call' the roll than it used
to be to go out and get stein of beer
if law-maker could borrow the price,
and one may be sure that the former
is done as often as the latter former
ly was.
In other words, when the calling of
the roll was matter OF hours, the
issues upon which the lawmakers voted
were regarded as momentous. But now
matters of great moment are disposed
of in minute, and may therefore be,
sighted. 8
Some people are wondering whether
the Houses use oil the electric voting
device explains the fact that the Senate
was swamped with bills from the lower
chamber during the last two weeks of
the regular session.
