OPPOSES SPECIAL SESSION

The Rev Duncan McRucr Of Pauls
Valley superintendent of the Indian
Missions of the Choctaw and Tulsa
Presbyteries. registers his opposition
to an extra session OF the legislature
in no uncertain terms He Is of the
opinion that new executive head
and new legislature are needed If a
special session is called. In letter
dated Pauls Valley, November II, he
writes:
"Paus Valley, Okla, II, II, 10.
Dear Mr.. Suggs.
have read your article with refer
ence to the extra session of the legis'
lature, and must say that | agree with
you that there Is no need OF the call
unless the foundation can be laid for
something to be done. | have never
been In favor of any one man having
such power delegated to him that
he would be able Of his own self to

anco the members OF the supreme
court. and let these men note the laws
needed and place their findings in the
call. Then what would be gained in
calling the present crowd back to
work on what they have had chance
10 do before? Why not have the eX-
ira session made up of extra men Sc
lected by the governor and the mem
bers Of the supreme court? 1t seems
from what | can hear that we need
more old laws destroyed than new
ones made A wise eXecutioner might
be great blessing to the laws OF
Oklahoma. From what | can hear the
head needs to be taken off from many
of the laws made by the statesmen Of
Oklahoma Let us be careful of how
that tax list grows"
Yes. We need roads We need men
in charge OF the building Of roads.
Let MS be careful of what kind Of
men handle the money collected from
the people.
The very fact that another session
of the legislature is needed if it Is
needed, means that every member of
the present legislature should resign,
and there should be law to compel
this to be done. II there was such
law, there would be less talk about
extra sessions" because there would
be less use of ever thinking about Eek
ira sessions" This is not a question
Of sentiment, it is a question Of fact,
of care. Unless for great reasons,
Whenever an extra session Of the leg
islaturc needs to be called, the COVER
nor should resign There may come
times of great disaster. something may
come upon us without moments
warning. then call the members Of
the legislature for advice and solution
of problems that would help the peo
pie. but when the sky OF the state is
clear. what is the use of even thinking
of an extra session.
The halls ot the legislature should
be sacred and should have the stamp
of dignity everywhere about them |

to let the public know her benevolent character, the following article has been contributed to the Republican: To the Public:
 Mrs. Laura Morris is dead. To many people it would be simply the passing out of an old lady, for she was with out family connections, but all she met were her friends because she had a great heart.
 Here was one of those pitiful cases where she was left by all near ties with scarcely enough for her personal needs. yet conserving her little that she might not be dependent on char ity, and also for another even nobler purpose.
 She was member of the Berean Class of the Christian church and she informed us that whatever she had left after she was laid away should go to form a nucleus for an "Old Ladiess Home" for Phoenix.
 A committee was appointed from the Berean Class to see what could be done to interest people of means and big hearts.
 There has been thousands of dollars promised conditionally.
 The writer realizes that an old la UleS \ nome TOT HOtIllN IS loO DlS all undertaking for any single organiza- tion, but by the cooperation of sev- eral and all charitably inclined organ izations working through a committee. composed of members appointed by each contributing society, an "Old Ladies's Home" could very soon be realized and those lonely, homeless old ladies could have a home" and we would be faithful to our obligation of caring for our aged women, which is equally sacred with the obligation of caring for our young.
 All of the beneficient orders of the city will be invited to cooperate with the Rerean Class this fall in helping to make real the care and comfort for other old ladies, that Mrs. Morris missed, but wish them to have. (Signed) MRS CHAS. w. HUNTER.
 Pres. Berean Class.

Edward Scampton, of the Baltimore Studebaker agency, accomplished a feat remarkably successful in demon strating what little attention the new Studehaker motors require. once pro- perly tuned, by driving a model Six from the Detroit factories to his home city with a locked hood. The lock was sealed before the start, the key being sent to Mayor Preston. who opened the hood for the first time since the start of the trip when the Car reached Baltimore Sunday afternoon. MT. Scampton left Det- :oit on the preceding Thursday even ing. A large crowd was attracted to the Baltimore city hall when the ealing ceremonies took place and the interest shown in the accom- plishment prompted Frank B. Dono- van the Baltimore dealer, to wire the factory, asking that his order of cars be rushed forward
 An auxiliary pipe for oiling was so arranged that it would not be neces- sary to open the hood for Iubrica- Llon purposes. A message by wire was received from Baltimore. stating mat the car had performed wonder tully on the trip, and at the con- clusion had made every hill in the vicinity of the Oriole city with ease on high gear

WOMAN WOULD BUY
 TAG FOR A DOG
Moved By Appeal of "Workingworn an" in Behalf of Children's
 Pet

The Republican yesterday morning printed a letter from working woman" making a plea for a little black dog, the playmate of her chil- dren, whom she has to leave while she goes out to work. She is unable to spare the money for a tag for the dog. The appeal is a touching one. Many citizens must have been affected by it, and we know one was-a lady whose name was not given but whose residence is 1502 West Adams street. She called up The Republican office yesterday morning, at first to say that she would be one of a group of con tributors to a fund for a tag for that little dog. little later she called again, doubtless realizing that the raising of 9 fund requires time. She said she would buy the tag her self if Workingwoman would call at her address, 1902 West Adams street
 There are a good many people who would gladly aid in saving the house. hold pots of those who are unable to pay the price of a tag. It is a pretty hard thing for many people to give up to the executioner a dog which has become entangled in the heartstrings of a little boy or girl, or for that matter of a grown-up. Tn many cases it is impossible to raise the $2 which the tag costs.
 There are. of course. a lot of neg lected dogs which perhaps were once somebody's pets. but have been dis carded and turned upon the street for human love is more tickle than t dogs affection for his master. Such dogs of course become a men ace and it is better that they should die. But it seems that there should

BETTER RATE NEEDED
 FOR BIG LETTUCE CROP

Calling attention to the fact that there will be a large increase in the amount of lettuce shipped from the Salt River Valley during the coming season and to the difference in the charge for icing cars, the corporation commission has taken the matter of a reduced cost of refrigeration with the Arizona Eastern Railroad company.
 Under the present schedule of rates, considerable difference exists between the charges maintained by the Arizona Eastern and the Santa Fe. On ship ments from Phoenix to Colorado points the Santa Fe charges $57.00 per car for refrigeration, while for similar shipments the Arizona Eastern charge is $75.00. The difference in the rate for refrigeration on shipments to other points is also said to be material. and it is with a view to securing a uni form maximum charge that the matter has been taken up.
 It is expected that between 250 and 300 acres will be planted to lettuce in the valley the coming season, and that there will be approximately cars shipped from Phoenix and 150 more from the south side.

 MRS. LAURA MORRIS

\The death of Mrs. Laura Morris, which occurred Monday afternoon, brought out an example of the unhap- piness which descends on most old la dies when forced to live alone.
 Mrs Morris was possessed of few thousand dollars, and expressed the wish numerous times that this money, when she had passed to the great be- Yond should be used as nucleus to which should be added other sums, to go to the erection and maintenance of an aged ladiess home.
 She lived alone for several years, and sadly learned what would be un- doubtedly the fate of many more women in like circumstances.
