SENATOR FAIRCHILD ADDRESSED THE SENATE AS FOLLOWS:

Mr. President and members of the senate

I learn from the lieutenant-governor that it is in order for the president pro tem. to make a speech. My idea of a presiding officer is one who does not do anything except a little work with the gavel. Besides being deeply appreciative of the honor, I am somewhat embarrassed by the sudden developments-which are not so sudden after all. A great deal is expected of this body. While I do not feel like congratulating you particularly upon the first result that you have worked out, I do feel like felicitating ourselves upon the manner in which we proceeded to work it out, upon the deliberateness and the good nature with which this little problem was solved. There is in it, as I observe it, a strong determination in the minds and hearts of the senators to recognize the fact that from our prejudices, our training, our natural feelings and our judgments comes our opinion-and our opinion varies must necessarily vary, as those elements

And as

color the source from which our opinions come. we match our arguments with patience and deliberation, and with charity toward each other, to just such a degree will we reach results which will be creditable to us, beneficial to the state, and of consequence to the people. I thank you.
