Shairoth today expressed his
contempt for the editors of GER
tain disgruntled Republican pa
pers who have attempted to ques-
ton the sincerity of the chief ex
ecutive in holding off the calling
of the special session OF the legis-
lature. demanding practically that
it should be held sooner than the
middle of August. The articles
in question accuse the governor
of playing into the hands of the
corporations and make other ac-
cusa,ions that certainly appear
uuwarranted when the past acts
of Governor Shafroth are consid
cred impartially.
The governor is charged with
delaying action to the end that
the platform measures which he
hopes TO have passed at the spec
ial session will be put through en-
tirely too late to become opera
tive this fall. Asked as to the
matter the governor said there
was not a word OF truth in the
charges; that no such ends are
sought by him and it is his wish
that all the platform demands of
the Democratic party be enacted
into law and that they become
operative as soon as possible.
Another charge IS made agains,
the governor that he failed to de-
mand OF the Legislature certain
platform bills at a time when they
could have been passed. To this
the governor replied today that
he was not able ty get these mea-
sures through until a public SEN
timent had been created demand.
ing their passage. For this rea-
son and no other he has delayed
the calling of the extra legisla-
ture. Another reason for the de-
lay, said the governor today is
the fact that he did not wish to
saddle an expense upon the state
tor a special session until he had
absolute assurance that he would
be able to have the laws which he
will include in the special session
proclamation, passed successfully.
Each day. he says, brings him
more of such assurance and the
governor now believes that when
the special Legislature does con
vene he will be in shape to have
the measures passed. Calling the
extra session earlier than August
would have cntailcd an expense
upon the state that could as we'll
be avoided. When the session is
held it will be at time just prev
ious to the call of State Chairman
Ward for the state convention.
which will not permit of any long
drawn.out session. thus saving
thousands of dollars expense TO
the people of the state. 1t is this
desire OF the governor to save
the people as much as possible
and at the same time get the plat
form measures passed for as little
money as possible He believes
that these ends will be attained
by not calling the extra session
sooner than the middle of August
or thereab abouts. There is hardly a
likelihood that it will be held be-
fore the middle of that month,
still there is bare possibility that
it may be called little earlier.

The Public Interest and the Private
Controversy.

The Public Interest and the Private
Controversy.
In calling upon all loyal citizens to
aid him and his troops to put a stop TO
the intolerable condition Of anarchy pre-
vailing at Columbus, Gov. Harmon saidi
"The public interest now wholly over
shadows the private controversy which is
the occasion of the grave danger that II
permitted to continue would threaten
the foundation Of the government, and
the first care Of all citizens must be TO
maintain law and order, because other.
wise no man can enjoy his individual
rights, whatever they may be-"
The mayor Of Columbus, who mud
died along in plain and open defiance Of
his oath Of Office, reversed the two
things, As far as his official conduct
was concerned, he was more than taken
up with the private controversy, Toe
public interest was allowed TO 20 hang
II is interesting TO note that the APP
pearance Of the troops, together with the
governors lucid explanation Of why they
were there, induced change Of temper
in the d.sArderly, Even a mob realizes
iilstinetiYely whether or not a public
officer means business
At the present moment, a private con-
tropersy is coming into collision with
the public interest in New York. Every
day men are assaulted almost under the
noses OF the police by the garment work
ers who FIJI the sidewalks in certain
streets. Many Of these acts Of violence
could be prevented il the polise were al

But they are prevented from doing so
by the extraordinary order Of the acting

Experience goes to show that holidays
