TO MEET IN OKLAHOMA CITY
GOV. HASKELL CALLS SPECIAL
SESSION OF LEGISLATURE.
The Proclamation States That Public
Welfare Prevents Meeting
in Guthrie.

Guthie, Oklahoma.-Gov. Haskell
cam here by motor car and remained
just long enough to issue a proclama-
ton converting the Legislature to meet
in extraordinary session at Oklahoma
City at Loon, November IS, to locate
permanently the capital of the state.
The purpose of the session is to affirm
by legislative enactment the capital
removal, which the state supreme
court recently declared was void.
In his proclamation Gov. Haskell
said:
by reason of the necessity to per-
manently determine and settle the To-
cation of the state capital, and to carry
out the expressed will Of the people
as declared in said election, an ex.
traordinary occasion exists within the
meaning of the constitution requiring
that the legislature be convoked in
special and extraordinary session. In
my opinian the public welfare re.
quires that said extraordinary and
special session shall be convoked at
Oklahoma City"
In not calling the specialscssion to
meet at Guthrie, which the state SUI
preme court says is the seat of state
government, Gov. Haskell acts under
a provision of the state constitution
which says that he may convoke the
negislature at or adjourn it to another
place, when in his opinion the public
safety or welfare, or the safety or
health Of the members require it.
The condition Is imposed, however,
that such change or adjournment
shall be concurred in by a t~wo.thirds
vote OF all the members elected to
each branch of the legislature"

Wise Man of Gotham.

A "wise man Of Gotham" is a fool,
but the phrase arose through the real
wisdom Of the people that lived in the
English town of Gotham. The story
goes that King John Of England once
visited the town with the intention Of
seeing q castle that he thought of TAX
ing for himself. But the Gothamites
did not care for the nearness Of roy
atty and the expense they would be
put to If the king should have house
there, and so they cooked up a scheme
to drive him away. When the king ar
rived with his company Of followers
and rode through the town he saw all
ic inhabitants Of Gotham going
through the most foolish Of tasks, each
person with a silly smile on his face.
The king was disguised with them.
He would not live among crazy people,
and so he rode on through the town
and did not stop for the castle. Then
the wise men of Gotham, still smiling
but not in a silly fashion, told one an
other that there were more fools that
passed through Gotham than remain
In It.
