TO GO HOME
The g rass is alw ays green here
in the valley but in the oead of
what passes for w inter it has a
6odden look which has already
been cured by the sun th a t shines
b rig h tly nearly every day. 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.
A bout fo rty young people were
