The legislature is in session and we
hope that that body will remember
that there are many tilings it can do
(without killing a great deal of time)
to bring about some much needed re
forms notably a marriage license
law without the much dreaded and
talked of "divorce" anii'X alMiitt
which such a "hulloboloo" is raised
when we sav anything about a mar

The oilier day a gentleman
driving a spirited horse along
highway, when some negro l>oys, in
less than fifty yards of the road, fired
a gun or pistol, causing the animal to
spring forward and break a buggy
trace, which let it out of the harness.
This, in all probability, saved a run
away scrape, or some other smash up,
if not seirous injury to the life or
limb of the driver.

Perhaps its many as seven tenths
of the members go to the legislature
with no other idea than to say “yes"
or "no" to the questions brought up—
lust what their boss or tlosses tell
them to do they will do.
The thing that concerns them most
is how to get back there again.
We need men, not tilings; states
men and not politicians and wire-pul
lers; whole numbers and not ciphers.
The poet has wisely said:

Yet measure me only by my soul.
For ’tis the mind that makes the man."
