Senator Halleck Fares Well.

Senator Abe Halleck visited homo over Sunday and the Republican edito had quite a pleasant chat with him Saturday evening. He Is taking right hold of his work at the state capital and’ we feel justified in our early prophesy that he will be the ablest state senator the district baa had in many years and tils is said without any criticism of any of his i predecessors. He was, forjtunate, to begin with, in receiving a number o£ appointments on Important committees He was made the chairman of the drainage committee and that subject; being one on which he has given, much thought it is probable that he will introduce a bill for a new drainage law in the senate. He was also made a member of the judiciary committee, one of the most desirable committees in the senate to serve on. He is also a member of three or more other and less important committees. He spent his first few days getting acquainted with his collegues and with learning the machinery of law, making and in taking some part la the political activities of the early sessions. He gave the most careful attention to tbe reading of the retiring governor’s message and approves a number of 'the recommendations of Mr. Hanty. He Win glvst the same attention to tbe initial message of Governor Marshall. Ha is of the opinion that Mr. Marshall will make a first-class governor, and he will find no antagonism on the part of Mr. Halleck, except In matters where he regards the govenor to bq In the wrong. Senator Halleck and Representative John G. Brown, of Monon, have quarters together, being a two-room suite in the Claypool, which they lyive procured for the session. They eat outside, and when not attending the, sessions of the legislature they will be mingling with the law makers in the hotel lobby. Both are men of deep thought and they will discuss the various measures before the general assembly and will employ every minute of thetr time In the lu.erests of their co .Utueacy. Mr. Halleck will Introduce the measure that seeks bo d'anii the method of electing circuit judgos and that provides so- a diffei ent method of dlstr::*!•»< the judicial circuits. He has ne/er favored tbe bill, except in a few particulars. srd it will be marked "By i:« iiiest”. when filed. It is the work of a lawyer at Knox, and ts patterned after the prevailing law In New York state. It plans to Increase the hnml «r of circuit Judges and to entirely do away with the superior court judges. Mr. Halleck has given the bill full consideration and has notified its author that he can do no more than introduce it. That the author and other friends of the measure will have to take care of It after It gets Into the committee. Senator Halleck will probably spend most of the Saturdays and Sundays at his home her* when It does nbt interfere with his duties In office. He is getting acquainted with the methods prevailing In the senate and wlil be a valuable member. Try a sack of Northwestern Chief flour, every sack guaranteed at Lowman’s market $1.40 a seek.
