The following verses in memory OF
Miss D0llard are sent by friend:
another hand is reckoning us
Another call is given;
And glows once more with angel steps
The path which reaches heaven.
Our loved and gentle friend, whose
smile
Made brighter all the hours.
Amidst the charms of summer time
Has left us mongst the flowers.
The light of her young life went down
AS sinks behind the hill,
The glory Of a setting star
Clear. suddenly and still
The blessings of her quiet life
Fell on us like the dew
And good thoughts whore her foot
steps pressed
Like fairy blossoms grew.
Sweet promptings unto kindest deeds
Were in her very look;
We read her face as one who reads
A true and holy book.
Alone unto our Fathers will
One thought hath reconciled;

MUCH PRAISE
Senators and Representatives
of Legislature Ex-
press Appreciation.

| The reaction to the message de-
livered yesterday by Gov. Scott C.
i, Bone is evidenced by comment from
Legislators from every division ap-
lparently is very favorable and many
members praised it warmly as an
outstanding document in which is
contained sane, clear policy for
| Legislative activity. A symposium
of the views of the lawmakers as
they expressed them to The Empire
seems to indicate that the recon-
mendations of the Governor will be
largely followed out.
| While a few of-the members by
their comments seemed to indicate
degrees of difference onssome points
adverse criticism was lacking in
every instance except two. In one
of these, in the Senate. criticism
was implied rather than spoken. In
the other, in the House the maker
waxed sarcastic.
Aver in Hearty Accord.
Both Senator Aver, President of
the Senate, and Speaker Wilcox, of
the House, gave the message yir-
tually unqualified endorsement,
praising it highly. Many other
members of both Houses were in
equal accord.
Senator Fred NJ. Aver. President
of the Senate, made the following
comment:
II was struck by the preciseness
and scope of Gov. Zones message.
| agree with it in every particular.
| think ii was addressed not alone
to- members of the Legislature but
also to the people of the Territory,
| am heartily in accord with every
suggestion made By the Governor"
Short comments, made by other
Senators were as follows:
THE message in its entirety is an
excellent one. The insistence on
continued administrative simplicity
and economy is well justified. But
the most gratifying and important
part of the message is the strong
and unequivocal recommendation of
an educational qualification test for
prescribing such test be passed
at the present session of the Legis-
lature. Senator A. j. Dimond.
II was vey favorably impressed
with the Governors message; 1t was
brief and to the point, IL gives much
food for thought, and ! shall give il
full and careful consideration. -

now to a financial scandal 1t is
called the Barmat affair, and Is cast

life of the country Some high of
ficials already are involved. and no
body knows who next will be dragged
into the limelight. Public hearings
are being held in an endeavor to
ascertain facts, and the trails evi-

Four brothers of Russian birth,
Julius, Solomon, Herschel and Isaac
Barmat, came into Germany a few
years ago by way of Holland, vouch

pottery works, and various other act

Then some one started an inves

one of the oldest financial instit
utions of Germany, as result oi
which it was revealed that the bank
had liabilities in excess of its cap
ital and reserve, and that 1t had
loaned large sums without proper
collateral. A man named Kutiskel
was a party to these transactions.
Then almost over night the whole
affair was given a new aspect. While
Kutisker confessed to his irregular
tiles, is soon developed that there
was a concern which had apparentl,
gone in for even wilder financing

was presented with an order for hi.
