The leaves are coming out on the f e e s and num erous shrubs have p u t out bossoms which m akes this section look as if spring were here. F arm ers are icon^arned about theit lands and stock and now and then a re gone for a day in order to see th a t farm operations a r t sta rte d in proper time. It is tim e to cease this legisla- t ng which is a w inter sport in stead of a spring am usem ent. When th ere is snow on the ground art! the days are inclem ent outside one m ay as well leg islate as to play ca rd s, shoot pool or rem inisce. Now w ith n atu re aw akening there are m ore im p o rtan t th in g s to do. L eg islators m ight well be told th a t the planting of crops, the ta rin g for young anim als are of m ore value than passing laws. We cun do little about the production of food stuffs by legislation. T h at comes from work. And th e/ein lies one of the common fallacies of the day. We in this dem ocracy have come to b iliev e th a t-th e cure of any prob lem m ay be brought about by the p assag e of a law. Now all laws m u st h am p er the norm al existence of m ankind. True, laws a re neces sary if we are to live to g e th e r with ou* d estro y in g one another, bu ' m any laws seem unneeded even to those who are daily concerned w ith p assin g them . This session ha? not heard th< wail of the homesick m em ber who rises on some occasions to cry, ‘‘I w ant to go hem e.” Y et perhaps th e sun which a t this m om ent is w arm ing the south side of th n m arble statehouse w ith s p rin t tim e ferv o r may soon cause the m em bers to hie them selves to m o rr fe rtile fields for the exercise of theii efforts.
