It Is perhaps less to he wondered at that the erased hraln of an actor, fired by the mock hero- lea. of the ataga rather than by genu inely patriotic Impulse, should have precipitated this poignant misfortune upon the people of both sections at the and of a war which shook tha world. A writer In McClure's Magastna for December, E. R. flhaw, gives tha “hitherto unpublished account of an assassination, Capt.

It 1s even prob- abU that the legislature would con sent to submit th«* matter to th# peo ple. though Its members are greatly Inclined to get every dollar they legiti mately can from their position. It has been recognized for a long time that there 1? no real need of a sf-Hslon of the legislature every year. A big percentage of the bills Intro duced nre not Intended to accomplish any temporary or permanent good. They are meant to Inform the con stituents of the members Introducing them that their representatives are tiding nomt'hkig. In other words, they are meant for hv.ne consumption —for electioneering purpose*. It is certainly time the puDlle money should no longer be used for any such pur pose. Every dollar that la collected by the atata la needed by stats Insti tutions. Indeed, the demands of these institutions, especially tha publlo schools, are a long way from being satisfied.
