Democratic party In its platform. The
governor will insist upon the enact

law and an act providing for the
choice Of United States senators by .
direct vote Of the people.
When asked when he would call
the special session. Governor Shat

Il am convinced that early In April
IL the proper time. because the laws
enacted will not become effective un-
til ninety days after their passage.
Il want the Legislature to be re-
minded that few months after the
special session 10 adjourned the peo-
pie will be demanding how the party
pledges have been kept.
Il shall insist most strongly on the
laws governing primary. Initiative and
referendum. bank guaranty and direct
election Of United States senator. I
believe these laws will be passed by
q two-thirds vote At the special SEES

islature fails to do its duty within
satisfactory time I shall prorogue 1t
and leave the question with the poo

which will require that each candidate
for the state senate or house Of rep

will vote for the peoples choice for
United States senator or use his own
judgment. The people can then Judge
him according to his answer and the
law will compel him to stand BY his
promise. This II the nearest We can
come to . direct election Of United

tion by the other states.
Il do not expect the special session
to last long. and I viii not tolerate
any dilatory tactics. They must get

the forest until they came to the road
that was paved with yellow brick.
Dorothy was thinking 70 earnestly
~ they walked along that she did not

into hole and rolled over to the side
Of the road. Indeed. he was Obliged

"And Why il that?" asked the Scare

So, while they were walking through
the forest the Tin Woodman told the
following story:

more respect for the dead than to dig
under graveyard and extract the
mineral that underlies the cemetery,
it must pay well for the desecration
II the owners Of the churchyard have
held uninterrupted possession Of che
place for more than twenty years,
was the Sist Of . decision handed
down by Judges Sanborn. Garland and
Pollack in the United States Court Of
Appeals.
The case was that Of the Central
Coal and Coke Company ". william
Penny and Ben Hubbard, trustees for
the Cherokee Chapel church in Ar
kansas.
Tho congregation Of Cherokee
chapel are negroes. Many years ago
they acquired title to two acres Of
land for church building and grave
yard. Until . short time ago they
continued to worship at the chapel
and place their dead in the little yard
unmolested.
Then the coal company acquired
land around the church yard and
opened . shaft only fifty feet away.
Soon the congregation discovered
that the company was working BE-
meath the graves. Suit was brought.
and under the decision yesterday the
company must pay the congregation
the full market value Of all coal pro-
cured under the graveyard.

much covered BY dried branches and
dead leaves from the trees, and the
walking was not At all good.
There were few birds in this part Of
the forest, for birds love the open
country where there ID plenty Of sun
shine; but now and then there came .
deep growl from some wild animal
hidden among the trees. These sounds
made the little girls heart beat fast.
for she did not know what made
them; but Toto knew, and he walked
close to Dorothy's side, and did not
even bark in return.
How long will 1t be-" the child
asked Of the Tin Woodman, before ~

Just as he spoke there came from
the forest . terrible roar. and the next
moment great Lion bounded into the
road. With one blow Of his paw he
sent the Scarecrow spinning over and
over to tho edge of the road, and then
he struck at the Tin Woodman with
his sharp claws. But. to the Lions
