WHAT A FREE CONFERENCE IS.
i Nr. Hoyt Explains When One Becomes
Necessary.
Columbia, February 16:?"Say,
when are they going to have that
7*^ free conference?" asked a prorni>uent
Columbian of a newspaper man
in the Senate lobby on Friday night.
"Is that what you came to see?" j
r replied the scribe. Then he explain?
ed that the "free conference" nas
not a tree sliow or a iree ngni or a
J free debate or anything spectacular
at all. The explanation may interest
others not so well acquainted (
with legislative procedure.
To become a law a bill must be
read three times in each house. The
first time, when the bill is introduced
by some member, i3 bv tide ouly
and then the bill is referred by the
presiding officer to some appropriate
committee.
Wheu the committee makes a
report it is either favorable or unfavorable
and the committee may
also suggest amendments. The bill (
is then placed on the Calendar as a ,
second reading bill aud the debate ,
on the bill, as well as the tight,
comes up wbeu the bill is read for
the second time. The rules require .
that on second reading the bill must
be read to the Houee section by sec- ,
tion, line by line and word bv word
In addition the oill inuet be printed
and laid on the desks or members
for one clay before it cat) be considered.
If the bill survives the tight ou
second reading aud all hostile
motions are voted down, the bill is
put on the Calendar oe.xt day as a
third reading bill. No bill can
have more than one reading on the
same day. The third reading is by
l title only and it is very seldom that
there is a tight on thiru readiug.
When the bill passes one house it
is seHt to the other house in which J
it must go through the same proced- j
ure. If the second house inserts I
amendments in the bill as it caniej
from the tirst house, the bill is sent.;
back to the first house; u .d the first,
house cau either concur or not)-1
concur in the amendments. If it ;
non-concur and the oftnr house |
^refuses to recede from its ameiid-:
' ~"ots the bill is referred to a eomV?"'UTt.'.u-e,
consisting of
^yiiators and hue representatives.
Tiie conference^' committee
can recommend that either one house!
or the other recede from its positio.:,
or it can report that it is unable to
agree. If either hou&e refuse to
recede, as recommended, or if the
committee tail to igree, then a com'
mittee of free conference is appointed,
consisting cf three senators and
three representatives. The committee
of free conference has practically
absolute power; it can make
any change it pleases, or it can write
an entirely new bill. If the free
conference committee fail to agree
or its report be rejected by ei'hei
house, the bill fails entirely and

there is no hope of its revival. It
is accordingly customary for the
presiding officer to appoint a majority
of a conference or free conference
committee from among the
members who were in the majority
when the vo e was taken on the bill,
the purpose of the flee conference
being to carry out the will of eacli
house so far us it is possible to do
so and leach an agreement.
For instance, on the CareyHothian
bill, the ^resident of 'h.*
senate appointed Senators Octs and
Hardin, two supporters of the bill,
and Senator Ku\sor, an opponent.
The speaker of the house appoint
ed Messrs Carey and Cothran, the
joint authors of the bill, and Mr
Richards, the opposition leader.
Any attempt on the pat t of a
presiding officer to appoint a free
conference committee with a majority
of its members in opposition to
the majority sentiment of the bouse
they represent would be a gross
violation of parliamentary ethics.
It is tradition that this was once
done iu house of representatives,
and the house at once took from
the presiding officer the appointing
power, and that committee was
named from the floor, The rule of
the majority must prevail.

He Abided.
"Prisoner," said the judge, who
was about to pronounce sentence
upon the culprit, "if, instead of being
a chronic offender, you had
chosen the career of a law abiding
citizen"?
"1 am a law abiding citizen, your
honor," interrupted the hardened
crook. "Whenever I break a law I
am ready to abide the consequences."
Thereupon his honor added six
months to the term of imprisonment
he had intended to impose as
a punishment for picking tlaws in
the court's English.?Chicago Trib
une.
Rewarded the Rogue.
Von Moltke was an early riser
and loved early risers. Once while
roaming around his Silesian estate
at daybreak he found a pea-nat woman
bearing on her back a sack
of potatoes which she had just dug,
making a load heavy enough for a
mule. "Here's a thaler for you,''
said the great lield marshal. "You
sec, the early bird catches the
worm." Afterward he found out;
that site was a night thief who had
ravage! his fields persistently, but
whom his steward had never got up
oariu enough to catch.

''Malic;, the doctor says you drink
entirely too mv.ch eolTce. It is not
good for you."
"Why, mamma, it doesn't hurt
me a particle, and 1 like it too well
to <juit using it. I just couldn't get
along without my coffee."
"And Mme. Loockes, the cell*
brated authority on beauty, says it
is ruinous to the complexion."
"Oh, well, if the doctor thinks I
ought not to drink it any more I'll
drop it, of course."

"The other night I was with the
prettiest girl," smiled the society
beau, "with the loveliest hair, I
think, I ever saw in my life. I leaned
over and touched a curl?a tiny
little beautiful curl?at the nape of
her white neck.
" 'If I had that,' 1 sighed, 'I'd
carry it always next to my heart.'

it and handing it to me, 'take it,
then.'"?New York Press.
Happinet*.
Happiness is a temperament.
Some of the poor make themselves
unhappy because they are not rich.
Some of the rich make themselves
unhappy because they are rich. The
man who has work to do makes
himself unhappy by imagining that
he has too much work. The man
who has no work to do makes himself
unhappy because he has no
work. The secret of happiness is
to accept our lot in life and make
the best of it
