This is a remark ' able occurrence any time during a session, but most remarkable in the opening week.' ' It shows that there is a disposition on the part of the senate to do it "now." In the house everything is likewise progressing. Naturally the house is more unwieldy because it is a larger body and more of the members arc inexperienced in the law-making buin . ness.": vyr;.;;' : ,--v''"i.':.''7i--.'..:V'.; As the legislature, grinds away there will be many things occur that will give the opposition opportunity for loud criticism, but according to the surface indications the determination 'tor a good record will prevent any 'rash acts being committed. .. It always pays to elect men to of fice who canot afford to be a part of shady transactions. That is the re deeming feature of the present legis lature.' In the main both the senate and the house are largely composed of men whp cannot afford to do other than the square thing. ,, Th grinding of the session will meiri the obliteration of many commissions, , many state employes and the cutting down of : appropriations generally throughout the state , It matters not who belongs to this session if the results prove out fo. economy. Men are judged and will be judged by what' they do, not by what is said of them, and of this legislature may it be said that econo my has marked its acts and there fore it shaUl have a right to the praise of the state as a whole; There is a vast difference between useful clerks and useless clerks in the state legislature. ' Nothing is more important, to expedite work at Salem than a useful clerk, but there is nothing that is of so little use 'as a useless clerk. No one can well ob ject to the employing of people who assist in saving time to the mem bers and who do their ) part in t,ho heavy work of keeping up records of a session as well as assisting sen ators and representatives in gather ing data. Union county fared very well in the house when Speakor Selling put A I. Jones at the head of the Fish and Game committee. It must be remembered that this committee is one of the hard places to fill this ses- , Sen tor Barrett, was among the first to ,into.rduce a resolution to abolish about everything in the state that couM be abolished. The old senator from ' Athen4 slert nd active and his resolutian was hailed , with con siderable applause. ; ' Senator Kiddle refuses to mtroduce bills. He holds to the belief thai we have plenty of laws at the present time and he is making a strong stand for the enforcement of the laws we have. Some .sense to that ' MORE ABOUT TWILIGHT SLEEP. ' In the January number of a Widely reatf magasine appears an article en titled "Is the Twilight Sleep Safe for Met" The article is authoritative, hnv ing een; read and approved by one New York's well-known ' obstetrical specialists. Following is an extract: "In the cases of the very young. the comparatively old, the debilitated, and those suffering from serious dis eases, like .kidney disease, this treat ment is emphatically inadvisable. Dm: tor Gauss reports that, at Freiburg, only 70' per cent of the applicants are accepted for the treatment. Of this 70 per cent, 80 per cent of the cases respond satisfactorily, giving a re sult of 56 per cent successes. In th'e hospitals in this country now ujing the treatment the cases are so care fully selected that in only about one quarter of the confinements is the Twilight Steep employed. Another reaBon, of course, for this small pro portion is the fact' that the patient d entering the wards of a hospital often come in too far advanced in labor to permit of this relief. v : k "It may be true, of course, that as the details of the treatment are more scientifically known and more thor-l oughly mastered Twilight Sleep may be used in many more cases and in u greater variety of types. There mnv be other subtle details, like the ion trolling of noise and light, yet to be more fully adapted. The significant, supremely encouraging ! fact is the perfect working of the treatment in the cases whero it is suitable. . With this question of limited adap tability comes another proposition: In order o determine whether or 110 the Twilight Sleep will be of use in a particular case, a woman should al ways have the opinion of an expert. As a corollury to this preliminary judgment by an expert stands the fact that, when the treatment is ad ministered, it should be given by a trained obstetrician. There will he charlatans who will take every pos sible advantago of this new patii to fortune, and there will be the type of physician who, when the patient in sists upon having the Twilight Sleep, will administer it , with insufficient knowledge. "Obstetrical experts are right when they maintain that it takes a great deal of timo and experience to learn how scientifically to adminster the Twilight sleep. It entails a precise knowledge of drugs, scopolamin and narcophen, and) a hdee observation of the symptoms of the mother-to-be." A Wonderful Oil Wall That Was Fetma ; In the Balkan. . In ifv.Catoa Woodvll't'a "Handout Recollection'.' Is toe story of a rich oU well that waa discovered In the' Balkuua. . ' On one of his Journeys be was abown a deep bole, sunk most probably by the ancient Inhabitants of tbe country far mini u purposes, but which be wa axsured was a petroleum well. After ward Mr. Woodville beard the fall story of tills well : 1 :" A petroleum t-flnd' was ' reported, from the district, and an expert from Baku. In tue Caucaxmi. Uie great pe troleum district, was vent to tbe Bal kans by a'ttyndtcate to Inquire Into this valuable discovery. He waa taken by 'eager natives to tbU Dole, aud a bucket was dropped down at the nd of a long rope and drawn up agau, brimful of oil. : . -i Tbe ex-iert examined tbe contents of tbe bucket, tested It carefully, and then, turning to tbe assembled native, be exclaimed:. "This la the most won derful oil well lu tbe world. Tbe pe troleum n already reftned." - The explanation was, of coarse, that some enterprising; person, not knowing mat , petroleum come rrom tbe .oil well In a crude state, bad carefully placed wnue ordinary commercial pe tro-un- in that well to the bone titat tbe expert wonld tnlak there- really wm n oil well there and offer m big price- for tbe oivualtjr.
