The EXTRA SESSION.

III II be concluded that the time
Is ripe for the amendment of the Or

ernor should call the Legislature in
extra session, and the sooner he
does II the better.
There is one very good reason why
Organic Act amendments should be
considered In extra session rather
than during the regular session for
general Te.. itorial business the
attention of the Legislator and the
citizens can be centered on one def
mite topic.
This Is an all-important factor in
the success Of every political, gov
ernmental and legislative movement
Mixed issues and complications aris-
ing from a multitude of needs Is
what more than frequently makes
legislation unproductive of the best
results.

go wrong when they are called upon
to act on one definite issue. That
Is why the referendum has become

one thing will be set for the Leg
islators to do.
Public opinion will center and de-

Every public servant will be

issue. He must face the people as

There will be no doubt during an

Rare Curios Fill Home of Minister

The walls and windows will be EN-
bellished by rich embroideries OF
China, Japan, India, Korea and other
far eastern countries.
There will be rare old gilt wood
carvings from Buddhist temples
placed in the dining-room; old Jap
anese candlesticks of exaggerated de
sign will be suspended from the chan
delieres; coal buckets will be made
out of century-old and fancy-wrought
designs of incense burners; wover
camel's hair curtains for the front
windows are among the collection.
Throughout the house there will be
brasses and bronZes and inlaid furnt
ture of remarkable patterns, shapes
and forms.
When all the goods are set in place
the legation will be unique, and one
entering it's doors might well harboI
the illusion that he is entering home
in some far eastern land.
Every article in the collection has
some highly priced association to the
minister personally, or to his family,
and his household goods, he says, are
priceless
