It is difficult to see how Germany could obtain from
this country any information that would be to her mili
tary advantage. Conceivably the interests of neutral na
tions and the interests of peace might be served by estab
lishing some other means of communication than those
now existing through the Scandinavian countries, Am
sterdam, London, and the wireless messages to Sayville.

THE LEGISLATIVE SESSION ENDS.
The legislature adjourned for the session yesterday
.morning, after an entire night spent in wrangling. It
was the culmination of days of plotting, scheming and po
litical intrigue, disproving the pre-election argument that
harmonv and eood feeling would contribute to construc
tive legislation if the governor and legislative majority,
were of the same political faith. In its last days the ses
sion degenerated into a fight for spoils and how to acquire
speedily the official jobs in the gift of the administration
was uppermost in the minds of the members.
The senate led in the political scheming and its pro
gram was shoved through by a good working majority, de
spite the protests of those who desired first the welfare
of the state, relegating party expediency to a secondary
place. The house majority was not in accord with this
program and it must be said contained many earnest,
hard-working members, one of the most conspicuous of
these being Representative Cobb, chairman of the impor
tant ways and means committee, and he received assist-,
ence from others just as sincere and earnest. In the
end, however, the political pressure was so great that the
lower house surrendered somewhat to the senate, and its
otherwise excellent record was to a certain extent im
paired. Speaker Selling proved himself a capable presid
ing officer, and generally threw his influence on the side
df constructive, sane and economical legislation. He will
deserve well of the people should he ever ask their confi
dence and trust in the future. 1
As to net results accomplished during the session, a
just summary is at this time impossible: Measures were
cut and carved and crowded through during the last forty
eight hours in such a jumble that it is doubtful if even a
majority of the members themselves know definitely
what they voted on. When the record of bills passed
unci defeated is carefully gone over it will be possible to
reach a more satisfactory conclusion. Certain it is that
the state appropriations will be very heavy, although thei
pruning knife was used in some places. Some heavy ad-!
uitions to the payroll were made, especially in the matter
of creating new district judges. Not less than seven of
these appointments are to be made a $ 1000 a year each,
and probably not a single one of them was really neces
sary. Personal and political reasons and a desire to pro
vide more jobs were back of this unprecedented increase in
the number of judicial positions.
Out of the war of factions Governor Withycombe
teems to have emerged stronger than at the beginning.
While he might have taken a more active part in the fight
for constructive, economical legislation, he has at least
shown himself dignified and conservative. If allied with
any of the factions fighting for political spoils, he has
done little or nothing to indicate it, and there is a growing
impression that he will conduct his administration in a
manner which will stamp him as the real governor of the
state.

One day he noticed a stranger stop his wagon before

After a while the tanner went out and asked him what

"Wall," said the stranger, "I'm just tryin' to figger out
