The state legislature starts off' with promises from each political J side to he sane ami sensible and to forget politics long enough to j accomplish something for the peo-j pie. Now if they don't make the I same mhSij of this that congress did, tile people will be thankful. Governor message to the legislature seems fair ami contained much sound sense and good all vice. Wiiiie he “passed' 'several of the items, he likewise took a rather decisive position on others and if tile* assembly will do as he has asKtttjyhem, we are sure it will be helpnrf Tills the time to pay you! subscription and we hope that every on* of our large family of subscriber: who receive the paper by mail will do so.

It will fine to land a few new industries this year and efforts aro "being mado along that line, but remember, there are othei ways I to he good iKioater*. Trading at home, boosting home merchants » and manufacturers, extending such t assistance as we can to them, linv I proving our properties, building r new homes, securing State highway construction and beautifying the . city. All these things and others J will help to make this much bet--3 II ter than an average year. | The Good Fellows of this city ex- ) pended $540 to make the children I and others of the community happy at Christmas time and In addition gave other articles and goods donated by the good people. They i cared for sixty-nine families and mado happy 134 children. This was by far the largest work done In the years the Delta Theta Tan sorority has been looking after this work. The cooperation of the public was wonderful. We con'gratulate all who assisted In the ifine demonstration of the Christjmas spirit. | It is perhaps expecting too much to hope for all the legislation ueedjed and as advised by Governor i Leslie in his message yesterday land the danger is that they will ! get into such a tangle that the re- ; vision of the tax laws will not be j made. Enactment of the proper ' laws of that kind would be, it seems to us, a wliale of a job alone and perhaps that's the proper way to solve it. Suppose this assembly named a commission of three < or five to work out some method I * i of relieving the burdens now imposed on real estate, to report to ' a special session of the legislature, to be held next summer or autumn, * at which time that subject alone will be taken up. There might be ' a chance of accomplishing some ( thing it seems. The sum total of human failure 1 is expressed in the words of a | N«w who awaits execu- i Hon In the Cook county, Illinois, 1 jail. Having left home when he | was 2.'!, Charles Rocco fell into the toils of the law and now, after ' three years, Is about to pay the l extreme penalty for the murder of 1 a Chicago banker. He had hoped ! to die without letting his parents ' know of his fate. Tint" they traced ! him through the newspaper accounts. “I didn’t want them to know that 1 was going to die in the chair,” lie explains. “I hoped that my family would never find out.. • . It will be harder to go, now that they know.” The tragedy 0 f a misguilded life, of the rending of home times, of evil companions,! of unresisted temptations, is gathered up in those words. Regret and the plea for forgiveness come too late to assuage the resigned grief of a stricken mother and a disconsolate father.—Toledo Times. o * TWENTY YEARS 4 AGO TODAY ' I From ■he Daily Democrat File ' ♦ — • January 9, 1911.—Rev.
