Moth-eaten schemes, decrepit claims and other legislative flotsam and jetsam were dusted and brushed and gingered up and then brought out to attract the Democratic eve. For a time it appegred that a few of the Demorrats were going to be caught in this trap. Some of them went so far as to nibble i{nnocently &t the bait despite the almost frantic endeavors of party leaders within and without the legislature to arcuse them to the danger. But such as these have been jarred | awake. During the last laps of the session there will be some tall sailing toward a safe political anchorage. Al gouge and graft bills are being hunted . down and killed. No appropriations will be made except for strictly necessary purposes. Salaries are to be cut and needless offices abolished. All

Few persons be Elim‘*f«. however, that any good can be accomplisked by golng back to the old 1 method. of local adoption, THat was a glortous period for the schoolbook and supply combination, and the smell of it has not vet been forgotien, . | Aside from the schoolbook bill, there | are several other measures pending which affect the pubiic schools.” An effort is being made lo reopen the local schoothouses closed. by the consolidation act passed two years ago, and to Hmit the distance that éhildren may - be hauled to school in towuship wag~ons. And then there fs.d bill to seeure the sanitation of school bulldings and premises. There bas been much dis%mmakm of these various measdres and L many referonces to the “Cld log schoolihmuw."’ with its "slab benches, the “Httle red schoothonse” at the end of |the lane, “mosscovered biickets” and | gourd dippers, “bubbling springs on | the hillside.”” “babbling brooks” and ibarf»zng;:.»»d children and other fond recollections of longgone childhood. ilt was the old cry for the touch of a vanished hand, for the sound of a volee that is still, for the tender grace of a day that is dead and lost in the sweep of new things and changed conditions. We will never get back. Dr Hurty is here with his microbes as big us battleshipns and ‘wice as dangerous. And they will get us if we don’t watch out. So runs the world away, good brothers and sisters, and it's no use to kick. - - On the theory that public business ‘could be better managed and much money saved by a uniform system of public accounts, a few simple-minded persons got up-a bill along that line and had it intrcdoced in the legisla- { ture. Under this bill as prepared the governor of the state would appoint the chief executive officer oz the new system and otherwise be something more than a bump on a log. But the Republicans of the senate have antended the bill so as to partisanize ‘it by placing the establishing of the scheme in the hands of a board compcsed of the secreiary and auditor of state and the governor. The secretary and audi- | tor are Republicans and under the Republican plan they would run things to suit themselves and their party. Of course the Democrats will not agree to this change ‘in the bill and the whole: thing will peter out unless the Republicans recede from their position.

In 1806, twelve miles of road Wvl‘f'ltro-nh'd“"ith oil to Keep down the dust and the resuit was so satisfactory that in 1907 the whole extent of mere ¢han forty miles was treated in this way. Mr. Putnam, the engineer, has carefully eslcalated the cost and he says that the annual cost of sprinkling a thirty-foot roadway was $459 & mile, whereas the cost of oiling the same roadway thirty-iive feet wide was $375. Inaddition to laying the dust the asphaltam in theoil had a binding eflect on the surface of the road and very gnaterially lessened the cost for repaire. Theoilis puton in an emulsion in which fifteen pounds of soap dissoived in fifty gallons of water is mixed with 100 gallons crude oil. the whole being agitated to the proper point of emulsion . and then 150 gallons of this is. mixed with 450 gallons of water and sprinkled on jhe roads.
