LEGISLATDECOtND

Major Has Absolute Confrol of
General Assembly.
Senate Majority Can Hinder the'

Not Conducive to Partv Inter- i
e::t3 Half of Session GonelH
With Only 13 days of Legisla
tive Work.
Special Correspondence
Jefferson City, February 10.
Nearly one half of the period
allotted to the present session of
the Legislature by the constitu
tion has pas3ed. At least ten' of
the 33 days alrcaiy spent were
devoted to organization and to
special occasions. Five Sundays
are to be counted out and five
Saturdays are not to be reckon
ed, as legislative fiays brcause
both bodies usually adjourn on
Friday till Uonday; therefore
only thirteen daya have been
spent in real legislative work.
The achievements of those thir
teen days cannot be determined
by lawa enacted or by the more
than one thousand bills introduc
ed. The real achievements
the things that are t6 count most
are the organization of politi
cal iorces and the programme
agreed upon for the forty days
yet before the law makers
Political lines have been drawn
close enough to warrant the con
clusion that the organization
really in control is at the com
mand of the Governor and that
no bill of any consequence will
pas' the two houses without the
approval of the little coterie of
Democratic leaders who know
what Governor Major want3 and
who are authorized to crack
the party whip."
As usual, the Democratic ma
jority in the Senate is the court
of last resort and will rule the
House, no matter who may pn
test. That has. long been the
Democratic way. The Senate
has, for many years through a
nliant Democratic maioritv. been
used to prevent legislation de-
sired by the people and enacted

vroiieu toe uemocraue majority
in the Senate as Major now con-
trols it. It was against Govern-
or Folk. Of course it was against
Governor Hadley because he was
a Republican. Senatorial districts
have been so gerrymandered for
the last forty years that a major
ity of the thirty-four senators
have been and now are Demo
cratsand to that majority haa
always been committed whatever
party interests may have been
involved in Legislation, in appro
priations and in confirmations.
The Democratic majority in the
Senate to-day is, for all prrctieal
purposes, the Legislature itself.
It is in the hands of Governor
Major like clay in the hands of a
potter. At first there were in
dications that the Senate major
ity might not be controlled by
the Major element, but the fact
is aa patent aa any thing politi
cal could be that the governor
and the men who speak for him
hold thft Democratic majority in
the Senate with a firm grasp.
Some of the Democratic senators
are a bit obstinate and are allow
ed a little lee way but when the
clerk calls the roll on any matter
to which the majority is com
mitted these Senators follow the
bell sheep over the wall and sur
render like little lambs.
The established programme to
be followed to the end of the
'session includes the enactment
j of every measure suggested by
tjoveanor major . specially mose
-roviding for ne'.v oluets and
increased salaries. Every Demo
crat who gets his name on a
State pay roll, new or old, will
become a Major henchman.

every man who ia to get a dollar

escape the control of the machine
unless an aroused public senti

the Board of Capitol Commission

partisan and practically free
from politics but a bill is pend
ing that will, if enacted, place
the work it has been commission
ed to do and the millions it has
been authorized to expend at the
mercy of partisans.
In short, the evident program,
as indicated by every reliable

Seven Rules For Wives.
Chief Probation O.Ti::cr Theo
dore Pulz of Milwaukee, Wis.,
wives which he recommended to
all desiring domestic happiness.
The rules follows:
Love, honor and obey your
husband.
Get breakfast for your husband
and see that he is properly
clothed before going to work.
Pe prompt with meals and ex
pect him to be prompt.
Keep your home, your children
and yourself neat and clean.
Don't tell him all your petty
household troubles: meet him at
the door with a kiss and smile.
Don't continually upbraid him
for past missteps.' Cultivate the
habit of forgetting disagreeable
things.
Approach the mother-in-law
question with gloves on. It'a
dangerous. Keep cs good terma
with both mother-in-laws, but
don't tell you troubles to either.
Never allow your own mother to
reproach your husband.
Mr. Puis believes that aside
from drink mother-in-law causes
the most trouble. "A wife should
allow her husbank to get his own
breakfast as often as he allows
her to the furnace" says Mr.
Pulz.
It is remarked that the mail
order houses have not relaxed
their efforts to get business just
because a few dull months in the j
year appear. They everlasting-'
ly keep at the advertising end
of their business. I
