oSVdIOOsd Times GayeLIe.
When Governor convenes an ex-
traordinary session OF a legislature
of state he is supposed to act in
response to somewhat urgent needs
to one uncertain call. In the case of
Governor Corners call, there Is not
much dispute about the fact that
there was some need of new. or rather
revised legislation on a few matters,
and even these. who preferred to let
matters alone rather than liquor
the expense and distraction accom-
panying such a session. would have
quietly submitted had his call been
confined to those needs. However.
Governor Conner has more acute ears
than the average citizen. for he seems
to have heard the call for many re-
forms which have escaped the most
attentive. For instance the average
citizen of the state would have said
that a rather thunderous one had
gone up from the people on the matter
of a biennial sessions amendment Yet
the Governor has heard the people call
for another whack at this proposition
Again, the Reverend Brooks Lawrence
himself. the very symbol and synonym
of prohibition. the voice that is heard
above all others in liquor killing laws
had but suggested in his celebrated
letter a possible future attempt at a
constitutional amendment including
prohibition. Yet the Governor has
heard another voice somewhere In
sisting that the people have an OPP
portunity to so re-arrange their con-
stitution. Which unthinking voter to
age. perhaps unthinking voter to
surmise that the Governor is hear
ing some voice from within-some
that, try as hard as we may, we can
not hear for that they travel by
another medium. There are some
men, maybe, who hear more truth
from these inner voices than from
these from the outside, and who learn
thusly. what people want when they
don't ask for 1t, but It's not an easy
matter to persuade. "the people" al
ways. that best results are secured this
way. Anyhow. when they have to
foot the bills for the resulting expense.
they prefer to have something to say
about what they need. To say nothing
about the other siXty-three urgent
needs Of the people

MONDAY, JULY "a, 1909.
We believe they are actually and
confidently expecting snow In North
Carolina during the dog-days. Witness
this from The Charlotte Observer:

Who knows but that we may have
snow yet before the dog days are
overe Had any one. earlier in the sea-
son, said there would be heavy frost
in this State during the month Of July
he would have been laughed at or,
else, no attention paid to the predic-
lion. still, dispatches from Boone an
nounce that there was heavy frost
IN Watauga county last Tuesday. THE
Oldest Inhabitants" of that section new:
er heard of such thing before. II
development in the tail of the comet
can produce frost in July can't IT
bring snow also? We take II for
granted that all admit the tail OF the
comet to be responsible for the frost
Ia the mountains last Tuesday.
Now. while 1t is true that we may
expect almost anything to happen In
North Carolina 1t must be admitted
that a heavy frost in q Southern State
on the night of July 20 looks like
breaking the record. After that per-
Torrance we don't wonder that the
people expect snow in July. Like as
not some of them have already made
preparation for storing 1t away.
