Throughout the last session of the legislature the little click headed by Senator Day exhibited a strong inclination to favor the big interests and this session this is becoming even more apparent. The people of the state will do well to give some atten tion to the actions of the senator as there is a little whisper going the rounds that he has aspirations to hold an office that pays more than three dollars a day and is good al! the year round. presidency. LITTLE BOBBIE'S PA DIMES AND NICKELS. If it were possible for the parents of an average home to see in a single pile all the small coins spent during the year by their family, they would no doubt be amazed. The reckless nickel-spending habit is not confined to the children by any means. How many good, hard-headed business men are continuously handing out small coins for things that gratify a moment's whim! There are women innumerable who are most careful in home management and self-denying in their own wardrobes who will literally "load up" with trifles merely because the cost is little. The result is more than the dropping of bits of money; their homes are cluttered up with these cheap things, until neat housekeeping is impossible. Apples half oaten; nothing finished up; new supplies of all kinds before they are needed; nothing more than half used. It is the result of abundance, with no idea of an end thereto. It has all come about in one generation. How our grand fathers and grandmothers Hoarded their small posses f ions, mended their toys and cherished cards I The complexity of modern living lies not merely in our doing too many things, but in our having too many, in more books and papers than we can possibly read, more clothes than we can wear or care for, more utensils thav we have need of, ami so on through a long, long list. "No great success was ever attained by kicking," re marks the Portland Journal "small change" editor. And to think that ho never heard of Charles Briokley of Harvard I If the United States does remain strictly neutral our natural reward will bo the dislike of all the warring nations. Some of those legislators protest their desire for econ omy so strongly as to arouse suspicions.

A training -cIiojI building is an ahsiVuto necessity,; and the legislature might as well order the State Nnrinul school discontinued as to let its work be rendered ineffi cient for lack of facilities to give tlio teachers the prupef practice work be fore sending them out to teach iu tha public scIuhi's. The Monmouth Normal iichool needs a training school building anil the extension of the dormitory fa ciliti.'s. If the legislature will mako this provision t ie number of teachers can be increased tn six hundred or a thousand a year. At present 30(1 a year gn out and teach, and about that number of teachers die every year, to say nothing nf those who coninii't mntri inony. The public schools suffer for lack of trained teachers, while the Btato spi ads hundreds of thousands for Tan uma expositions ii, new judgeships nnd prorccuting and defending criminals.
