.FROWNS ON AN EXTRA
GOVERNOR NOT DISPOSED TO CALL
SOLONS TOGETHER.
Sees No Need of Special Session; May
Have One If Certain Con-
tingences Arise.

st. Paul, July Ex-Governor John.
son will not commit himself on the
agitation for special session of the
legislature growing out of the "pork
barrel" decision. He sees no need OF
it now though the future may bring
something that may make him change
his mind. Further he says he has not
given the matter any consideration.
las matter stands now" said Gov
ernor johnson, 81 would not consider
call for an extra session of the leg
islature, but if congress sees fit to put
up to the states an income tax amend
nient; a special session might be among
the possibilities. However, 1 am not
going to anticipate that. As things
stand now | can not see my way clear
to burden the state with the extra ex-
pense.
Whatever view Governor johnson
may take of the situation is not
shared in by number of interested
people in the state who are now fill
ing the executive mail with demand
that he call the house and senate to-
gether without delay. These letters
come mostly from counties, which have
taken advantage of the legislative
promise of state aid and have gone
ahead and made road and bridge i'm
provements. In some of the counties
the improvements are in process of
construction and the legal question is;
"who will pay the bill?"
Erick Erickson, chairman of the
board of county commissioners of Clear
water county, wrote the governor urg.
ing him to issue the call.
Some of the members of the two
houses may want special session, but
the majority do not favor it.

HITS At STATE HELP
DECISION RENDERED BY SUPREME
COURT ON FRIDAY.
Knocking Out of the Pork Darrell Bill
May Now Result in a Terrific Blow
to All Internal Improvements; the
Drainage, the Big Fair, River I'm.
provement and Variety of Other
Things in Jeopardy.

st. Paul, July l2.-WhiIe the "pork
barrel" decision, handed down by the
supreme court Friday, only affects the
100000 appropriated by the last legis-
lature as state aid for roads and bridg-
es, 10 one would be surprised at
other assaults along the same line.
All that is required is some one to
take the initiative, and the leader in
this respect is expected to come for.
ward at any time. The removal of the
non-suit tradition and the indorse-
ment of the word internal improve
ments makes the proposed assault al
the easier, and it was said yesterday
that the threatened attack was in the
making.
Plaintiff From the Country.
If such is done it is expected that
the plaintiff in the case will come
from the country. Senator Victor M
johnson of Chisago county talked
strongly along this line some days
ago, and Representative Frank White
| of Elk River even went so far as to
make threats, his point of attack be-
ing those appropriations affecting
state institutions located in the cities
State drainage, state fair and to
biographical survey are three thing.
the executive officials are worried
about, as these are undoubtedly inter
nal improvements and come within thu
prohibition passed upon by the court
For state drainage purposes there now
| stands on the books an item of 5000,
900; for the grand stand at the fail
100000 and for the improvement OF
the Minnesota river $4,000. These sew
eral amounts will be available Aug.
On the proposition of state drainage
| those in charge believe they are i'm.
| mune as far as the direct drainage OF
state lands is concerned, but they are
| not so sure in the matter of state aid
! to counties where bitches are con.
structed
AS to the Typographical survey, it is
| believed to be clearly a work of in.
ternal improvement. This survey was
authorized by the last legislature and
is for the improvement of the Mime.
| sofa River and other streams.
Governor johnson as yet has not
taken any position OIL the proposed ex-
ira session of the legislature for the
purpose of drafting good roads
amendment for submission to the vo.
tiers, but one member of his official
family has gone so far as to state
that if an extra session is called il
will not be until fall. His remarks
| indicated that the matter had beer
discussed.
One proposition advanced by this
particular official was to include in
the business transacted at this extra
session, if called, legislative re.
apportionment of the state. There is
strong demand for it from the up.
state counties and the administration
is inclined to push it along.

DEFENSE OF WOMEN
REV. John WESLEY HILL OF NEW
YORK IN THEIR PRAISE.
Declares That Five Dollars Worth OF
Dynamite Under the Cornerstone
of Chicago University Best Thing
That Could Happen the Young
Men of the Country; the Sensa-
ion-Seeking Individuals

New York, July l3.-"Five dollars
worth of dynamite placed under the
cornerstone of the Chicago University
divinity school would be about the best
thing that could happen to the young
men of this country" declared Rev.
John Wesley Hill, pastor of the Metro
politan Temple, and formerly of Min.
neapolis. He answered thus the sting
ing magazine article by Professor Her
bert L. Willett, in which he said WON
en- were extravagant, socially ambi-
tious and INSCRIPTIONS; that the moral
level of nation can never rise higher
than its womanhood, and that women
have not changed for $500 years.
notwithstanding Individuals.
$50 far as | can see," added DIR.
Hill, chat institution is filled with
sensation. seeking individuals, filled with
the one purpose of undermining the
country's ideas of God and religion;
of manhood and womanhood.
eff the moral level of America rose
as high as that of it's womanhood we
would be in the first stage of the mil
lenium.
'sThe average woman is sincere and
truthful-much more so than her hus-
band.
"Women are not extravagant by ma
ture; it is their tendency to be
thrifty; to save something. Most of
our millionaries have risen through the
self sacrifice and encouragement Of
their wives, and they are the first to
say so.
Encourage Women to Extravaganza.
MANY men keep their wives in alb
solute ignorance of their incomes.
They regard their wives as walking
advertisement of their prosperity. They
encourage them to certain style of
living-fne apartments, fine dresses and
automobiles and even when hard times
come, fail to take their wives into
their confidence until ruin makes it
necessary.
Naturally the women keep on iv-
ing at the same rate and are some
times regarded as extravaganza and un-
scrupulous.
"The work of college professor
should be to build up. not to tear
down. 1t would be far better for
Professor Willett to instruct young
men in the principles of integrity and
independence and self-reliance, tnan to
regale them with ancient libels on
womanhood."

BEST PEOPLE MEET
ELKS HOLDING THEIR ANNUAL
SESSION IN LOS ANGELES.
Hospitality of the City Is Said to
Be the Finest Ever; Business Was
Begun This Morning; Tonight the
Visitors Will Witness the Battle
Between Nelson and Wolgast; the
Amusement End.
Especial to The Free Press.l

Los Angeles, July l3.-After tire,
days of Los Angeles hospitality, which
the visitors declare is the best there
is, the delegates to the grand lodge
convention of the Benevolent and Pro
tective Order of Elks got down to bust
ness this morning. The session was
held in the Auditorium Theatre, which
had been lavishly decorated for the 0c'
casion. Reports presented by the of,
ficials show the order of good fellows
to have enjoyed a year of flourishing
growth and prosperity. Tonight the
Elks will have an opportunity to see
Battling Nelson, the lightweight cham
pion. in action against AID Wolgast OF
Milwaukee.
Most Successful in Orders History.
The session here is generally ad-
mtted to be the most successful in
the history of the order, which ex-
tends over two score years. The
Order of Elks grew out of social
club of actors who called themselves
tine Jolly Corks."
1t was an obscure actor from Tony
Pastors Theatre in New York who
proposed that something more than a
purely social club be made of the or
ganization, and as result the Order
of Elks came into existence in 1868,
meeting at Military Hall on the Bow
cry. The Jolly COrks continued their
meetings in their quarters on Delaney
street until Vivian. the moving spirit,
went to Philadelphia to fill a profes,
sional engagement. Then the interest
died out All of the original Elks,
however, were Jolly Corks, and if the
name had any influence on the life of
the order it finds reflection in the
lives of the members and i'm their an
elaborate expenditures, unique features.
and general liveliness hardly equaled
by any other event of similar proper
tions.
Charity Is the Object.
Although a "good time is the prin-
eipal object of the Order of Elks, az
the outsider sees it, it by no means
fully expresses the purpose of the
organization. As a charitable institu-
ton the order runs the whole scale of
generosity from small contribution
toward individual needs to a system
attic benevolence on large basis.
1t was the Elks that beat the whole
world into San Francisco when the
great earthquake brought devastation
to the city. Robert w. Brown, manag-
ing editor of The Louisville Times, got
the first wire into the stricken city.
It read: give thousand to your credit.
If bad reports true, spend five more,
Not for Elks. For everybody"
