SPECIAL LEGISLATURES.
president Dole States why One
Nav Be Called

President Dole said yesterday
that he was considering the necessi-
ty of calling a special session OF the
Legislature. He said that he was
not certain that such call would
be issued, but that preparations
were being made to expedite the
matter If the necessity became APP
parent. "Thers are several things
that seem to urge the early meeting
o. such body" said President Dole
yesterday. among them are the
enactment Of sanitary laws. The
Board Of Health is limited by its
position and assumes that it cannot
go beyond certain limits in this
direction. The Board has done al.
that is within its jurisdiction, but
certain building and plumbing regu-
lations have still to be attended to.
The Losses in Chinatown can only
be handled by the Legislature. The
losers in the sanitary fires want re-
lief and it seems that in justice to
them this relief should not be de-
lay ed too long.
"The Legislature il called, will
undoubtedly act on appointments
of officials made by me. l am con-
sidering these appointments now
and will probably announce the
bulk OF them before June 14."-
p. C. 4.

late the law. On the same assumption
the inquisitors who asked for police in
terference at the Academy had no
right to assume that the play as intended
to be presented was Immoral" and in
deed no right to pass judgment upon that
phase of it for any one but themselves.
We do not understand that ''immorility'a
is legal ground for objection to or in
terference in such cases. The assump-
tion of such authority would be auto
cratic to very marked degree. To do
this would be to assume for it quality
which the law does not possess-a moral
quality; again, it would be judgment
of the law and the fact, and an assump-
tion of authority over the executives OF
the law; as it relates to individuals other
than those making this assumption, it
would be to set up moral standard and
compel its adoption, by the community,
through and by the police authorities.
This, whether in the case of the drunken
man or the case of the drama, is tyr
amy.
1t does not alter the fact to say that
the action is taken in the cause of public
morals. TIE law is not moral force
and can have no moral effect. The
drunken man in this case has violated
no statute law. He may have violated a
moral law in getting drunk. We doubt
it. Why was he arrested? Even a
drunken man is supposed to have some
rights in this country and they ought to
be respected. So there are people whose
sense of moral rectitude is not so acute
as that of the inquisitors who object to
the drama; and these have their rights.
They at least have the right of judgment
as to their own action in cases where
ther own personality is concerned. The
drunken man had right to get drunk SO
long as he interfered with the rights Of
no one else. So with the people who
want to see this interdicted drama. 1t
| is case for their own Judgment. If
however this drunken man had made q
nuisance of himself, had committed an
indecency he ought to have been ar
rested-afterward, however, and not be-
fore. So, too, if this presentation Of
"Sapho' was Indecent the Academy Of
Music management became amenable,
but after, and not before the presenta-
| tion.
The attempt to prevent the presenta-
ton, if the play is immoral, has intensi-
fed its evil effects. The attempt has
failed. The play has been most effec-
lively advertised. The Academy OF Music
was crowded last night. This indicates
that the ethical inquistors have made a
serious mistake.
We have suspicion that they have
been deceived and made the victims of
well laid scheme of advertising this play.

Mr.. ALBERT Cowgirl, whose article
published in the lant number of the
Peninsula Methodist, was reproduced, in
part, in The Sun of that date, asks that
we modify the heading OF the article as
we printed it. He disavows the word
ATTACK" he did not mean that, but on
the contrary eulogizes the church organi-
cation, and it's work. His article was
intended to call attention to what he
thinks a hindrance to sgreater work and
more influential position in peninsula
sMethodism. Knowing Mr.. Cowgirl to
be a devoted Methodist Episcopal
Churchman we gladly make the correc-
tion. We are sure that no one who
knows of his church relations, and his
high estimation of Grace Church, made
any mistake as TO his meaning because
of the heading of THE Sun article. The
text of it prevented that.

a Summer Picture

The farmer sat in his easy chair,
Smoking his pipe of clay
While his hale old wife with busy care
Was clearing the dinner away;
sweet little girl with tine blue eyes,
On her grandfather's knee was catching flies
The old man laid his hand on her head,
With tear on mis- wrinkled face;
He thought how often her mother, dead,
ii I'd sat in the self-same place.
At the tears stole down from his halfshut eve
Don't smoke!" said the child, chow it NAL e
you cry!''
The house dog lay stretched out on the floor
Where the shade after noon used to steal
The busy old wife by the open door,
Was turning the spinning wheel;
And the old brass clock on the manteltree
Had plodded along to almost three.
Still the farmer sat in his easy chair,
While close to his heavy breast
The molstened brow and the cheek so fair
OF his sweet grandcnild were press'd;
His head. bent dt,wli, on her soft hair lay:
Fast asleep were they both, that summers day
