The Senatorship.

Inc Senot0f9nlp.
Now that Governor Sanders has
decided ON an extraordinary session
OF the General Assembly, the United
States Senate will not be called upon
to settle the interesting point involv-
ed in his appointment of Judge
Thornton to Gil the vacancy caused
by his own refusal to qualify for the
vacant seat of Senator McEnery.
Many lawyers and politicians have
been ready tn stake their reputa-
tions that the credentials Of Judge
Thornton would be recognized. just
rs many have been equally confident
that the Governors appointee would
be refused his seat. Mr.. Hart dug
up an old case in the early history
Of Louisiana which was almost iden-
tically like the case of Judge Thorn
ton, wherein u Senator had been
elected by the Legislature and after
its adjournment refused to qualify.
The then Governor appointed sue
cessor aud the credentials we're ac-
cepted. The difference in this case
was that the Governor himself had
been chosen by the General Assembly.
The Thornton case promised to at
tract national attention because Of
the interesting legal questions in
volved. Undoubtedly u very strong
argument could have been made in
favor Of the Governors right to de-
cline the election, after the adjourn
ment Of the Legislature, and to des-
ignate his own successor, just as
Governor Lambremont would have
had unquestionably the right to
make an appointment II Governor
Sanders had died during the interim
between the adjournment of the Leg
islature and the meeting Of the SEN
ate. But, as we have said, the call
for an extra session disposed OF the
matter. Under the constitution, as
interpreted by the Senate, the Leg
islatnre will be compelled to elect for
the term expiring March 3, 1915,
whether it il the term Of Senator
McEnery or of Governor Sanders.
For some weeks past opponents OF
the Governor, with their usual NAL
evidence and bigotry. have been in
dustriously spreading reports that
his selection OF Judge Thornton was
not in good faith, and that in the
end he would brush aside the gentle
man from, Rapides and go to WASH
| ington himself. Since it became evil
dent that another extra session was
to be held. they have been further
predicting that the Governor was
not big enough to refuse the prize OF
a fve-year term and would have him
self again elected. OF course, no one
but a very bitter partisan. incapable
Of doing justice to an opponent,
would ascribe such cupidity to high
and honorable public official. In or
der, however, to put an end to this
idle and vicious Misrepresentation
Of his position, the Governor has
tn ken the trouble to announce that
his decIination of the senatorship
was irrevocable. that his appoint
ment Of Judge Thornton was in alb
solute sincerity, that the Legislature,
under the law, will be required to
elect, and that il his Wishes are con-
sldered his appointee will be selected
for the full term.
Judge Thornton's fitness has never
been challenged and there is no rea-
son to doubt his election by large
majority of both houses.-Nsw Or

Governor Sanders Talks of the Special
Session.

Governor Sanders Talks OF the special
Session.
The Louisiana Legislature will
convene in extraordinary session
on Monday, Nov. 28th.
Two matters have been mention
ed for the session, and there may
be others: To legallze the sale of
$4,000 sewerage and water bonds
for the immediate present in the
city of New Orleans; to elect a
United States Senator to succeed
the late Senator s. d. McEnery.
1t will be a ten-day session, as
the election of a United States
Senator will require nine days at
least. The balloting must take
place on the second Tuesday after
converting, and the counting OF the
joint ballot on the day following.
AS to the senatorship, it is
pointed out that it will not be nec-
essary to include that in the call,
as it will come up automatically.
Should Governor Sanders have
commissioned Judge Thornton the
commission would have been of
no effect after the Legislature met.
In statement Governor San
ders has settled two interesting
points: One, that be intends serv-
ing out his term as Governor, and.
the other, that he will use all his
efforts to have the special session
elect Judge j., r. Thornton, of Al
exandrla, Senator. He denies that
he has telegraphed members of the
General Assembly asking their
support for Thornton. His state
ment follows:

proposed extra session and In ref
erence to the senatorial situation

speaking of my attitude and ac-
tons:

has been keeping the wires hot

Legislature in an endeavor to have
a majority attend pledged to elect
Judge j. r. Thornton for the I'M
expired term of the late United
States Senator McEnery.
"'Some members who were tele-
graphed to said that they were

their cotton crops needed their at

The Board of Directors has totally

leader Of the First Church in this city,
for advice Mrs. stetson has had but

for the belief the dead leader will
reappear in mortal form.
Thus met, the protesters, for such
they are known among the Christian
Science devotees who are aware of
the movement. have begun a literary
campaign having for its object the
REPUTATION of the idea that Mrs. Eddy
being dead, will not manifest herself
again.
To this end they have cc::ected
from the writings OF the founder OF
Christian Science a mass OF miscel-
laneous matter in which illusions are
made to demonstrations" over death,
and to the non.existence of death.

that there is no such thing as DEATH:

In other places In her writings Mrs

generation might not yet be PREPARED
for a complete demonstration over
death yet there was the possibility
of such an event, and, according to-

last night he knew nothing OF the.

of Mrs. Eddy's tomb, but believed it
to be inspired solely by persons in
the Church who are anxious to upset

declared that in his view there was

Some Thought She Would Not Die.
1t has been the belief of a number
of Scientists that Mrs. Eddy would
not die. To these her death was n
tremendous shock from which they
have not yet recovered. Others be.
lieyed she would die and make a dem.
o%nstraticn by a sort Of spiritual resur-
rection and manifestation. Still 9TH
ers We're firm in the conviction that
Mrs. Eddy would be translated TO
Heaven in the flesh, and in this, 1t
is admitted, would have lain the most
manifest demonstration OF her spirit,
rality and of..her proof of the mas.
terry of mind over matter.
! Ultimate belief in the Christian Sci.
ence religion is founded on a con-
querlng not only of disease and other
error by prayer and faith, but in
the defeat Of death itself. To the
Scientists who had devoted most Of
their metaphysical studies to this SUBJ
ject 1t Is an article of faith that Mrs.
Eddy was the female Christ. To prove
this they revert once more to her
writings.
