HOUSE REFUSES DELAY

in reality be over the State House II the
present court was allowed to stand for
two years and litigants, after spending
time and money, found their efforts were
for naught. In closing, the father OF the
bill reminded the committee that an
opinion from supreme court or from a
lawyer was not TO be considered unless
it be given in writing, and Governor
Fletcher failed TO procure a written opin-
ion so that he could entrench himself in
his stand.
Mr., Miller stated that his bills were
introduced from the standpoint of lay
man and had been suggested by one OF
his fellow townsmen. His bills would
give the legislature the same right to
elect but would simply defer the occupy
ing OF Office by those elected until the
terms of the present incumbents expired,
His bill or bills had a further advantage,
when reelected, they would have I'M
disputed tenure.
Ex-Governor w. w Stickney, in sub
stance, stated that Governor Fletcher had
a duty to perform, namely of making
to MI out the terms of Of
flee, so that the court might be in session
but that he was limited and
the limitation was in the constitution
itself. To his mind the constitution was
perfectly explicit on this point and there
is no necessity for lawyer being called
on to explain the point, nor could he see
where there could be two sides to the
matter,
The hearing closed after members of
the committee had Intercepted Mr.. Mil |
Ter in regard to his bills and the reason
for his presenting them. During the ex-
planning which followed, Mr.. Miller ad
mitted that it was with the idea in mind I
that the old members Of the supreme
court bench the ones in Office before
The appointments were made last month,
would be elected by the present legisla
.ure to take office two years hence.

it their duty to set apart day OF thanksgiving
to almighty God whose gracious will had

Josephus Daniels, Secretary Of the Navy:
81 am thankful that America is at peace
peace with dignity and honor. The best as

man who has passion for peace and that he

thankful that the navy this year has performed
missions of mercy and help and has not been

such a variety OF things to be thankfui LOT
this year that no catalogue could nope 10 DC
exhaustive Though threatened many omeS'
we have not yet quite been drawn into inc
European scrimmage. Not quite. But this is only
one cause, though a sufficiently sensational
one, for national thanksgiving. 1t is always
in order to be grateful for abundant crops, Tor
the blessings of democracy. for civic and cult
ural growth. AS rule il Is considered good
etiquette to put out OF mind the things we
have not to be thankful for, such as impotence
TO repel invasion, corruption in politics and
ofiee' injustice. greed and cruelty, with their
alluring synonymes. So the mind is swept clear

But this annual concentration OF thanks is
good thing. The American psychology has
demonstrated that anything in order to at
