SHOULD WE HAVE AN
EXTRAORDINARY SESSION
OF THE LEGISLATURE?

While we all recognize the fact that
the governor of the state has full au-
thority to call the legislature in extra
session at any time he may deem it
necessary; yet it would seem that
the views of the members and public
opinion should have consideration in
such matters.

Der of the legislature and have re-
eeived seventy three replies. Sew
en- were in favor of an extra session:
thirty nine were opposed. Twenty
seven had not decided. If we have
an extra session, it will be for the
purpose of considering the water
Power Bill" This is a most impor-
tant matter 1t is our last natural
resource. If we barter" this away,
it will be good bye West Virginia.
| will not vote on this bill until /

be printed and sent to the members

We do not want any "niggers in the
wood pile" in this matter.
The following letter from Sentor
Clyde Johnson, of Kanawha county,
is fair sample of the sentiment
of many members on the extra ses-
sion.

ings and music. The program was
opened by a delightful song by the
Junior High School Glee Club. Then
Jesse Erwin, the president of the
class, introduced Rev. Richardson the
new minister of the Methodist Episz
copal church, who conducted the de-
votional exercises. Rev. Richardson
read passage of scripture, led in
prayer and gave splendid talk on
the Coming Generation and the
Present Age" The students appreci-
ated this talk very much and were
glad of this opportunity to get ac
quainted with the new minister.
AS Monday was Americas birth
day, the program was made to center
on Christopher Columbus. Appro

Dear Mr. Street:-Your inquiry Of
September 18th reached nay office
while was absent on vaction, but |
suppose it is not too late to reply
You will understand that an ex-
traordinary session Of the legislature
means less Inconvenience to me than
to most Of the members, and GER
tainly would not oppose such a ses-
sion if there was a real necessity for
it.
However, in view of the fact that
the present laws will produce ample
revenue for all purposes, and there
seems to be no emergency, / can sec
no reason which would justify an ex-
traordinary session in the near
future
You are entirely at liberty to make
this letter public if you wish.
With kind personal regards, re-
main,
Very truly yours,
CLYDE B. JOHNSON.

On Friday, Oct. 9th the Mozart
Literary Society rendered splendid
literary program in the High School
Auditorium. The new corps of Of
ficers were in charge, including Miss
Church, who proved to be an unsur-
passed leader, judging by the type OF
program rendered. The program
consisted of the following numbers:
Piano Duet, Margaret Lee Thornhill
and Lena Forney.
Debate, Ephriam Lazarus VS.. Adonis
| Hunt.
Vocal Solo, Hugh Price.
Pianologue, Norma Rohrbough.
''Town Crier," Staff; editor Wilma
George; local and current events,
Lena Wease, sport news, Thomas
Anderson; jokes Charles Smith.
The question for debate was" ire
solved that bus transportation will
eventually supercede the railroad
Adonis Hunt seemed to think that
the railroads would hold their owr
and gave enough evidence to prove
his side, as the decision of the judges
was unanimously in his favor The
debate was one of the best features
| Of the whole program. After the
program was rendered thirty-foul
new members were taken into the so
ciety, making a totol of ninety-thret
members altogether. The new mem
bers were: Terry Harris, Forrest
Digman, Ocie Bolton, Russell Eng
land, Abbie Coffmen, Sybil Corley
Guy Findley, Odbert Edmond Mil
lard Bibey, Flossie Jones, Reta Hill
Dyson Ballah, Ethel Haller, Atho

Brewer, Dewey Lambert, Ruth Ern.
est, Neil Stalnaker, jean Williams
Joseph Parrish, Forrest Swick, Ciret
Hunt, Hubert Holbert, John Smith
Hazel Sherman, Kenneth Ware ane
Woodrow Wilson.
The whole program was quite 8
success in every respect. The Mo.
zarts need never fear of being sur
passed by the Lyceums as long as
such programs are given. Our Wis
itors were Mrs. Brewer and Miss
Clothier. We welcome all visitors to

If the court adjourns and then re-

Navy's severest critics, Col. William
Mitchell and Captain Anton Heinen,
will be called.
Mrs. Zachary Lansdowne, widow
Of the Shenandoah's commander,
has been invited to appear before
the court and make any statement
she desires. Just after the wreck,
Mrs. Lansdowne said her husband
had been trying to avoid taking his
ship into the middle-west for over a
year.
