By a vote of 250 to 77 the citizens of McMinnville last Saturday decided to abolish saloons. The President has issued his proclamation fixing so vember 28th as a day of na tional thanksgiving. G oem ax can again sine: "Maryland, my Maryland. lie will be returned to the United States Senate.

New York, New Jersey, Ohio Iowa, Kansas, Massachusetts and Nebraska were carried by the republicans. Politic ally speakiner, it was an "off year," hence but little inter est was manifested. The re sult is of no special cance. signifi Ax extra session of the legislature has been suggest ed, for the purpose of discus sing the adoption of amend ments to the constitution. At the recrular session certain Amendments were defeated and it is said the members are of the same opinion now as then. -W - a It will be an un- necessary expense lor tne legislature to reconvene, and a. should the Governor call it in extra session for the pur pose mentioned he will be severely and justly censured. Elsewhere we print the proceedings of a meeting held by citizens of the 19th dis trict at Essary Springs, Sat urday, October 2Gth, called for the purpose of ' 'discussing the practicability of adopting or reiectinjr the hoc: law." The result of the meetin was the passage of resolutions condemning the act, which thev decided to ignore. Our friends have made a mistake. It is not within their province to say whether they will ac cept or reject this or any other laV.T This "hog law" is upon statute books, and so long as it remains there it should be obeyed, however objectiona ble. There is a remedy it can be repealed, but not ig nored. Those who propose to ignore constituted law and authority tread upon danger ous grounds. - : Lost, Strayed or Stolen.

No, we do not want auy extra session.
