FRANK HORNER'S VIEWS
CONCERNING AN EXTRA SESSION OF
THE LEGISLATURE.
Would Decline to ssDevote" His Serv-
ices While "Horde" of Clerks
Drew Pay.

State Senator Gostlin recently sent letters
to his former associates in the Senate ask
ing if they would donate their services to
the State for a special session of the Legis-
lature in order to pass a law allowing In
diana volunteer soldiers to vote in the field.
Senator Frank A. Horner of Brazil, of
Populistic tendencies, was one of the mi
nority that Senator Gostlin courteously
wrote to. Saturday the Sentinel published
a letter Mr.. Horner wrote to Mr. Gostlin
in reply to the suggestion that the senators
donate their services. MIR. Horner very pa
triotically says he would be las liberal as
Others" should the occasion demand He
then goes on to say that the pay of sena-
tors is small and is not objected to by the
taxpayers so much as the salaries Of clerks,
door-keepers and other minor employees.
1T is this extravaganza and not the per
diem of members that the people of the
State cry out against says Mr.. Horners
letter in the Sentinel. "If it is proposed
that this horde of useless employees are to
return and draw their pay at special ses-
sion, while / am to devote (donateO my
services, decline to devote (donate?)
Otherwise would be as liberal as the rest"
About two months ago, when there was
talk about a special session, publication of
the fact that all the clerks had offered to
donate their services to the State was made
in the Journal on the authority of the Gov
ernor. The former secretary and assistant
secretary of the Senate communicated with
the men who so ably and efficiently per-
formed the clerical duties of that body and
were met with response that led to the
Governor being notified that the clerks
would be at the States service without ex-
pense for this purpose.
Governor Mount will not call a special
session for the purpose of enabling soldiers
to vote in the field. In an official opinion
handed the Governor Attorney General
Ketcham held that such an act would be
unconstitutional. There Is nothing in the
reflection Mr.. Horner seeks to cast on the
clerks in his belated letter of Aug. 3. All
of the clerks were very indignant when
they heard of his letter in the Sentinel
Senator Horner was the author of Horner's
Revised Statutes which the Senate refused
to adopt, and thereby earned his dislike.
He was also the champion of an initiative
and referendum act which was laughed
at and then killed.

and there they found the wife of William
Mohs, standing barefooted in the center of
a crowd of about $50 persons. She was
afraid to go home, she said, because her
husband was drunk and had driven her out
of the house. The crowd about her was
angry, and reckless ones talked of all kinds
of violence which should be inflicted on
Mrs Mohs's husband. Mohs was not TO be
found in the neighborhood. He afterward
went to the police station, and was locked
up on the charge of being drunk and dis
