I've often wondered. why men
craved to represent their county
at these sessions. The pay is
five irons daily and for this sum
the boys lay themselves W'de
open to a thousand headaches.
About the only pleasure they
get out of this job is the ride
to and from the ancient state
capitol. And suppose that
gets tiresome after the first
dozen trips.
More than thousand bills
have been tossed into the bas-
ket since the bell sent the
lads away at the barrier. In
cluded in the lot to lost or for
gotten during the last few days
of the session are a few local
ones, which if passed, would
benefit individuals politically in
clined and nothing else but. But
| hear they are due for the ash
can! Nice goin' boys, nice goln.'
The word has passed along to
me that the law causing most
concern among the county law
makers has to do with Sunday
closing of the taverns. 1t has
put the delegates on the spot.
From the dry forces comes the
threat of the formation of an
organization flying a prohibition
banner if the law is defeated.
The boys who deal out the suds
are countering with the argu-
ment that loss of the Sunday
business would make 'em close
their doors permanently, that
if the law goes through the law
would become a joke. This is
probably one Of the times when
the Legislators would like to be
Fuller Brush statesmen or some
thin.
