A GOVERNOR'S DOG

The governor of Maine, answering criticisms Of
his action in raising the flag at half mast over the
satehouse in honor of the death Of his dog, makes an
eloquent defense. He pays deserved eulogy to the
dog as faithful friend of man. and suggests that his
tribute to his dog Garry will arouse people to
realization of their responsibilities to dumb AMI
mails"
Very likely it will And anything tending to make
people more humane in their treatment Of their dumb
friends is useful But there is another side TO the mat
ter.
The governors action has also aroused people to
realization of the responsibilities Of public men IN the
matter of good taste There more appropriate
ways to acknowledging the merits Of dog than to pay
it the public honor usually reserved for distinguished
citizens

Weak Pig Iron Market Causes Laxity During Past Few Weeks

With business picking up and many inquiries coming in after sew eral months of quietness, the Knight Iron and Metal company, First ave- nue, between Twenty seventh and Twenty ninth streets are expecting good business during the winter. So far the prospects look much brighter, according to J. T. Knight. manager cf the company. He stated thus far tine company has done twice the business this year than ever before in it's history.
 Owing to the weak pig iron mar ket during the past few weeks; sew eral of the soil pipe manufacturers closing down; steel and wire manu- featuring plants closing down for repairs, and the fact that the con- suners were not buying, were at tributed as being the cause for the laXity in the iron business. How ever, with the many inquiries com ing in the Knight company is opti- mistic about conditions for the bal ance of the year.
 The Knight Iron and Metal com pany is connected with the J. T. Knight & Son of Columbus. Ga. and and Knight-Luttrell Iron com- pany of Atlanta, Ga, who carry on the same business as the Birming- ham concern which specializes in pipe relaying rail, rail- angle iron, chan nels, beams and plates and all kinds of metal including brass. copper and lead This company is in the mar ket at all times for scrap iron, metals and other products
 With the slight depression dur ing the past weeks the Knight com pany is very optimistic about busi- ness conditions owing to the num- bers of inquiries for many materials which we handle which are coming m daily to the company" said MT. Knight.

URGE CUTTING DOWN LEGISLATIVE SESSIONS
Majority Of Governors Would Put
 Limit On Solons

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-Governors in the majority of the 4S united staset favor the curtailment of the out bursts of impassioned oratory and eXcuseless laws that generally ensue during the open sea sons for sessions of state legislatures.
 The Illinois Chamber of Commerce. taking as it's horrible example" the solons of its own state, which have averaged sessions of 175 days for the past 15 years, asked the governors individually for their views of the advisabillty of short sessions or un- limited sessions.
 Gov. Len Small of Illinois says there is no excuse for the 175-dav unquestionably be ample to transact all the business required by the well fare of the state." Governor Morrow Of Kentucky, agreeing with Small. points out that sessions in the Blue Grass state are limited to 60 days and declares the belief that 40 would be much better Governor McMaster of South Dakota also sees no valid reason why the 60-day limit should be extended there.
 Governor Hyde of Missouri roots for To-day sessions, that being the limit in his state, while Governor Preus of Minnesota says: "Minne- sota has a 90-day limit on it's regu- lar legislative sessions and I am in favor of extending the time" Governor Groesbeck of Michigan also favors a 90-day limit.
 Tn my judgment, we have entirely too many sessions of the legislature and too many new laws" says Governor Parker of Louisiana Governor Scrugham of Nevada, where the constitution provides a 60-day limit, thinks most sessions could be speeded up to endure but 30 or 40 days.
 Against limitation of the sessions. however, are Governor Proctor of Vermont and Governor Baxter of Maine. The latter says: If "a rem edy is needed for present conditions, 1t lies in selecting better men for the state legislature rather than in linn iting the time of their sessions"
 Governor Walton of Oklahoma and Governor Pierce of Oregon both point to systems of indirect limitation in their respective states which they claim are highly effective.
 Oklahoma laws provide that legis- lators shall be paid s6 a day for 50 days and $2 day for 30 aditional days, with no pay for further over time. Oregon limits the pay of her solons to 40 days for regular ses- sions and 20 days for special sessions.

CAN NOT RESTRICT
LANGUAGE TEACHING
Supreme Court Upholds
Fourteenth Amend
ment.

Washington June IA Capital
News Service) "A great many
states have passed laws forbid
ding the teaching of any Ian
guage except English in public
schools.
The Supreme Court declares
these laws in conflict with the
Fourteenth Amendment of the
Constitution, which states that no
person may be deprived of life,
liberty, or property without due
process of law, and that liberty"
means liberty to secure an educa-
ton and useful information.
The decision says in part:
While this court has not at
tempted to define with exactness
the liberty thus guaranteed, the
term has received much consid-
Grafton and some of the included
things have been definitely
stated. Without doubt it denotes
not merely freedom from bodily
restraint, but also the right of
the individual to contract, to en-
gage in any one of the common
occupations of life, to acquire
useful knowledge, to marry,
establish a home and bring up
children, to worship God accord
ing to the dictates of his own
conscience, and generally to
enjoy those privileges long recog-
nized by common law as essential
to the orderly pursuit of happi-
ness by free men,
The established doctrine is
that this liberty may not be in
terfered with, under the guise of
protecting the public interest, by
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1923-06-14

legislative action, which is arbi-
trary or without reasonable re-
lation to some purpose within the
competency of the state to effect.
Determination by the Legislature
of what constitutes proper exer-
else of police power is not final
nor conclusive, but is subject to
supervision by the courts.
Practically education of the
young is only possible in schools
conducted by especially qualified
persons who devote themselves
thereto. The calling always has
been regarded as useful and
honorable, essential, indeed, to
the public welfare. More know
ledge of the German language
can not reasonably be regarded
as harmful. Plaintiff in error
taught this language in school as
part of his occupation. His right
thus to teach and the right of
parents to engage him so to in
struct their children, we think,
are within the liberty of the
amendment"

HAD SUCCESSFUL
CHURCH CONFERENCE
Between 500 and 800 People
Attended Meeting at
Cedar Falls.

The 46th annual conference of
the Danish Lutheran church of
America held at Cedar Falls,
Iowa, last week from Wednesday
til Sunday inclusive, was attend
ed by between 500 and 600 people
and was a successful and fruitful
gathering.
Delegates, ministers and off,
GERS having votes numbered a
total of 146.
Rev. S. ID. Rodholm, Askov,
president of church, delivered an
excellent sermon on the eve of
the conference at the local
church in Cedar Falls, Tuesday
evening. This was followed by
many good lectures and sermons
during the conference days, chief
among which were those by Rev.
Svend Jorgensen, Hartford,
Conn, and Bishop H. Ostenfeld,
Denmark.
On Thursday evening the as
semblage was entertained with a
band concert by the excellent
Cedar Falls band of about 40
pieces. This was a rare treat and
it is unusual to find a band of
that ability in a city the size of
Cedar Falls. Mr.. Hoist, a son of
the we'll known and able editor of
"Dannevirke" also rendered a
vocal solo. Mr.. Hoist is a profes-
sional singer and his numbers
were heartily appreciated. There
was also other musical entertain
ment--a girls and boys chorus
and a ladies chorus ON other
days of the conference.
A lively discussion ensued on
the oath that is taken by newly
ordained ministers which was
finally settled satisfactorily to all
by accepting the oath as revised
by the Bishops in Denmark in
1912.
The office of president did not
come up for election this year so
Rev. Rodholm holds over for an
other year.
Rev. Hakon Jorgensen, Newell,
Iowa, was elected secretary; w.
N. Hostrup, Cedar Falls, treas
urer; and the other two board
members elected were II. p. Ras-
mussen. Chicago, and o. C. Olsen,
Omaha.

examination committee, replac-
ing Rev. A. w. Andersen, Chi

DELAVAN, Wis, Feb. 23.-When a girl is deaf and can't hear sweet noth. ings whispered in her ear it's incon venient but not necessarily fatal. She still can read. Deaf girls of the State school here have been receiving SC many love missives from deaf boys of Delavan that school officials have ap. pealed to the Attorney General for means to stop the by-mail courtships They contend the girls get so many letters that they let their lessons go to pot The Attorney-General's office advised the school superintendent, T.

 But, while the officials step gin gerly over the thin ice of post office regulations, the two-cent seenades go merrily on. And the letters aren't all going one way, either.

DOUGLAS BURBERRY cANNERY
 The city of Douglas has good pros. poets for having berry cannery put in operation here, according to a business letter that came before the city council at the monthly meeting, Mr. J. Emery, who formerly lived in this part of the country, and who now owns and operates several fruit canneries in the states, is very much interested in canning the Alaska blue. berry. MT. Emery would like to have the berries shipped south in large shipments and canned there if possible, but the council will try to persuade MT.

LOSES HIS ARM

Fred Porter, captain and half own CT of the shrimp boat Lieba, lost his left arm at the elbow when in some manner he got caught in the winch. A feature of the accident which makes it particularly distressing is the fact that Porter was already one armed, having lost his right arm at the elbow in a shingle mill accident several years ago. Porter was taken to the Petersburg hospital, where his wound was dressed.
