173, with 74 not votinp. The decis
ion was reached on the third roll-call
after preliminary tactics had< been
played to the limit. Many democrats
were away and their absense jrave
the republicans an advantap;e which
could not be overcome. They had

from passing the Senate. A filibister

any phase of public development.
This week we are publishing two
signed articles in regard to the tan
nery.
We wish to slate most emphatically
that this paper stands squarely by the
views expressed in an editorial last,
week.
The pity is that the Legislature is
to be called together in extra session
next year. Once in ten years would
be often enough to satisfy the home
folks. Since amendment to tho Con- two) we knew there was something

A REFRACTION.
Everything in doors and outside
was home-made. Everything they
needed, they made or it was mad^e at.
Feeling the . great need of preachers,
the Baptist concluded to try their
hand. The first run they made they
turned out two, Robert Jordan and
John Galloway. The Baptist were
rather jubilant over their result. So
the Methodist decided that they would
make a run ofl". The rsult •was John
Clark and John Trull. Uncle Jimmie
Brackens didn’t take to John Clark’s
preaching a little bit. Said he could
beat ‘Juan” himself; said if Juan
would quit and prove his attendance,
he would pay the fee and ca.sh his
scrip.
Galloway soon became the favorite
of the young folk. It was not so
much what he said, but the enthus
iasm he put in it, especially in v/arm
weather whn he would begin to get
hot and pull off his jeans coat and
throw it down, get a little hotter
and shed his vest, and when he began

said. If he told us that the Devil

believe it. And this confidence was
