THE SPECIAL SESSION.

The governor has been requested to call a special
ression of the legislature for the purpose of providing
relief for certain interests in the state which have en-
countered hard shedding in their particular lines of
business, particularly the farmers The farmers sit
uation Is unfortunate. So is the situation of many
people engaged in other lines Of endeavor. What the
state can do in the way of relief Is very doubtful. 1t
cannot remit or reduce taxes at this time nor can 1t
loan public money for there Is none to loan. There
is no existing statute under which help can be extend
ed to the distressed and it Is very questionable II the
legislature, were it called in special session, could or
would frame a law that would accomplish what is de-
sired or expected.
Public sympathy is not lacking but public money is
and 1t Is presumed that the only help that is needed
is money or its equivalent.
The legislature can be called. II the governor is In
cined to shoulder the responsibility. Thirty or forty
thousand dollars expense is not a whole lot Of money,
but still these are days Of economy or ought to be at
least
The idea Is still too prevalent that legislation must
be had for ali Ills that arise. It is regarded as the
great American cure all. Better oven than Peruna

Iation is worthless, still there should be just one more

SHOOTING TO KILL.

What happened to the holdups in the little venture
they undertook out on Oak street the other night will be
approved by all citizens who have a thought for good
order and safety in the community. It is regrettable
that it became necessary to kill. but when men enter
upon the property of another for the purpose of rob
berry or with other felonious intent they are paid for
whatever happens to them. And while the 'Shoot to
kl' order must be sparingly employed it is the one
method Of discouraging law breaking Of the holder
character. Society has Suffered sufficiently of late,
the country over, and officers of the law have had
their grief in struggling to pro.ect it. Similar occur
rences with the law on the side of the officers and citi-
zens will not only rid the city of undesirables but win
have a discouraging effect upon law breakers who may
remain with us.

THE OLD WATER WAGON.

Some years ago the favorite sport at about this sea-
son of the year was to make a grand rush for the
water wagon. 1t was a foolish proceeding, purely
psychological, and reflected no more than the mob
spirit of humanity which induces one to go along with
the herd, after the fashion of a flock Of sheep through
a gap in the fence.
1t was a difficult thing to secure a place on the
wagon and a more perplexing thing to retain it. As
time went on room became less valuable from the con-
slant d~esertion of passengers who found clinging on
an arduous task, until, when the old vehicle reached
the end of the journey which required three hundred
and sixty-ffve days there was no one left, oftentimes
not even the driver.
In view of the signs of the times, inquiry is made
as to the ~propriety of greasing up the old wagon and
starting it out on one more journey. Possibly the
old rush could be again popularized.

MARsE HENRY.

Henry watterson has been gathered to his fathers
Ho was the last of the great personal editors of the
country which group included such brilliant journal
lists as Greedy, Raymond, Jones, Prentice, Medill, Hal
stead, Dana and others. His father, Harvey Magee
Watterson, was a member of congress from Tennessee
and the son was born at the national capital in 1870.
BE early engaged in newspaper work and was just
fairly launched in the profession when the war be-
tween the states interrupted his career. He opposed
secession from the union but went with his state when
Tennessee broke away. and entered the Confederate
service, serving throughout the war.
When the war was ended he was among the first TO
accept reconstruction and since that day the union has
had no more staunch supporter.
In 1868 he revived the Louisville Journal and con-
selidated it with the Courier and in all the subsequent
years no paper had greater influence in the south than
she CourierJourna and no editor was more widely
read and quoted than Henry Watterson.
He was a Democrat in politics and had much to do
in shaping the policies of his party, writing its plat
forms and selecting its candidates in both state and
nation.
He was an original and independent thinker and
many times was in disagreement with party leaders.
He was intensely southern in his sympathies, but con.
siderate, just and honorable to political and social
friends and foes.
BIS editorials were classics in English; clear. con-
sincing, brilliant. with a delicious trace of humor that
