Legal Meeting of the Legisla.
VALLEY CITY Times.Record)

Legal Meeting OF the Leg1sla-
ture
valley City Tmes-Record)
Can the legislature legally meet in
special session when such meeting
Is officially forbidden by the acting
governor? II they meet In spite
OF the acting governors orders. will
any laws they pass have any stand
Ing before the courts2 Can the leg
islature meet legally In special ses-
sion without the concurrence Of the
governor or acting governor In such
IN assembly?
These are some questions which
are being debated now in Bismarck
and elsewhere over the state. LANCER
called the legislature to meet In spe-
cial session. Before the time Get for
their meeting the Supreme Court
ousted LANCER and put Olson in rs
acting governor. He Immediately
revoked the call. But many Of the
members gathered for the special ses-
sion in spite Of Olsons decree. The
House got quorum present but the
Senate failed to get enough mem.
bers together to form . quorum.
Those members who are trying to
hold . session favor the former gov
ernor, who was ousted by the Supreme
Court. The Acting Governor says
he will In no wise recognise any &C.
ton Of the so-called Legislature, and
does not admit that the legislature Is
in session. He viii. Of course. have
the power Of veto Of any bills pass
ed. In order to become q law q bill
passed by the legislature must have
the governors signature. This Is
sort Of picture Of the snarl In which
our state authorities find themselves
entangled.
And added to the mixed situation
there = the presence In Bismarck OF
large numbers Of LANCER partisans,
who announce that they are there to
support LANCER through thick and
thin. The national guardsmen are
On duty and their commander Is sup
porting Acting Governor Olson Is the
legally created Acting Governor Of
the state. They are very wisely, up to
this time. simply concerned with keep
Ing order In Bismarck. and Acting
Governor Olson displays no tendency
70 use them beyond the legitimate
work Of keeping order. This Is 6
Il should Be, and offers 4 strong con-
trast with what We have been recent
" used 70 seeing done with the guards
men. We very much need q period
o1 peace and quiet IN order that state
affairs may b brought out Of the
tangle into which they have been
thrown.
Olson viii Be wise Il he seeks to put
no curb on speech. Talk Is cheap
and the best way out OF It Is TO let

Away Back When

North Dakota certainly u giving
its new statehouse q noteworthy mi
tiation.
These public structures are. by
tradition. places where great and
stirring affairs occur. Around them
revolve the destinies Of the people
whose common interests center there.
Thus It Is that the capitol at Wash
ington probably Is the most historic
building In America with the possible
exception of Constitution Hall in
Philadelphia where the nation was
born.
In each Of the states. the capitol
building Is not only . center Of In
terest but . center Of activity where
giants struggle for supremacy and
great causes are lost or adopted.
Traditions gather around such
places, too. usually having to do with
the men and events OF stirring times.
Thus 1t was, for example, that men
for years pointed to Z splotch on
the floor Of the lobby in the old
North Dakota capitol building Is
marking the very spot where two
state officials engaged In personal
combat, one Of them dripping gore
upon the floor which, like the bloody
hands OF Macbeth's murderer, failed
to yield to intensive scrubbing.
AS a rule It takes time for tradi-
tons to surround building for they
are, usually. things which develop
only with the passing Of the years.
but North Dakota does things differ
emily.
Traditions spring up around it as
rapidly as the grasses grow on our
prairies in lush June season.
Already, for example, our citizens
can point to the governors office
from which one man was bounced
before the structure even was COM
pleted. They can point to the win
dow through which IN alleged relief
worker hurled . cuspidor to empha-
size demands for more and better re-
lief. They can stand in awe in the
very room from which . federal off,
cial was dragged by disturbers in .
demonstration Of mass action.
The legislative chambers already
win distinction by reason Of the fact
that tho first sessions held In them
weren't sessions at all but gatherings
Of legislators without official status.
Both grownups and children should
watch carefully the developments Of
these times and note the facts. There
will be plenty Of arguments in the
future about what really happened
when North Dakota's capitol was
young away back when"

Washington, July 2o.-You wouldn't
suppose Uncle Harold Ickes-cSar Of
PWA, oil, and Interior Department
ever had time to read the society
columns.
Apparently he does. That's why
millionaire oil magnates no longer
have the privilege Of wining and din
ing officials Of the OH Administration
charged with regulating their indus
try.
Certain Ickes subordinates had :
swell time while 1t lasted. There
were parties In hotels, country manors,
and on a yacht down the bay. A
Harry Sinclair vice president threw
one. Amos L. Beaty's party was espe-
cially lavish. Just q bunch Of Jolly
good fellows interested In petroleum.
One day Ickes called the boys to
his office. He had some clippings
and read them aloud. One party
had made the society oolumn-with
q guest list.
you may think you can rub cheek
and jowl with these fellows you're
supposed to regulate and get away
with It," he barked. I'm telling you
you can't. This stuff reflects on the
administration. For Gods sake, cut
It out!"

SMART CLOTHES
SEEN TODAY IN
Ell CENTRO SHOPS

With Thanksgiving holidays and
cool weather approaching. fall
clothes meet the desire and need
of El Centre women and the fol-
lowing smart clothes were seen to-
cay in local stores.
Montgomery Ward
First the wise woman selects a
street and afternoon frock. One of
the most unusual and distinction
in the displays is a smart black
dress at Wards. Made of fine quail
ity crepe, very simple in line with
g neat buckle fastening the belt,
the dress achieves its style by the
unusual and smart neck and sleeve
line. From a turn over black COL
lar arises. like a vest, a second col
lar of ribbed white material with
thread Of silver interviewer. This
collar fits closely about the throat.
Long full sleeves in black are cut
off just above the wrist to show a
second longer cuff of the white.
Two white flowers just below the
black collar contribute the finish
ing touch to this gown. there be-
ING nothing so modish as black and
white.
Penney's
Next in line of formality is that
useful dress, suitable for formal
afternoon and for all but the most
formal of evening occasions. Pen
ney has on display a gown in a
heavenly shade of deep blue with a
wide band of silver metal cloth as
a yoke, this metal cloth forming a
V-shaped insert in the smartly cut
sleeves. A deep blue velvet evening
wrap would be lovely with this
dress and Penney is showing an
ideal wrap in this shade. Pretty
accessories, bags. hose, are suggest
ed in the display.
Johnson'6
The extreme formal need is met
by a beautiful black gown at John
son s. The front is demure enough,
plain severe lines with the only
ornamentation q turn over collar Of
striped black and silver, under
which is a tiny red neckerchief
But the back is far from demure.
being extremely low, cut with two
black straps crossing under the col
lar. So that the gown may be worn
for less formal occasions, an ador-
able jacket Of the same material
as the collar is shown which makes
the dress wearable for a number of
occasions.
RroynbiIt
No costume may be considered
complete without smart shoes and
those in search Of shoes for every
occasion should look at BroWnbilt IS
window this week.
The decorations feature Thanks
giving and shoes are shown for
every occasion.
Particularly distinctive is the dis
play of sport shoes in the rougher
