(From a Btaff Correspondent)
LINCOLN, Dee. 9. 8peclal.) Today
Governor Mickey Issued a statement tn
which he declares that In his Judgment
there exists no sufficient reason for calling
the legislature together in special session.
Ha states that he is in favor of certain con
stitutional amendments, but he does not be
llevs that the electors would adopt them If
they wera submitted, and on that' ground
Objects to the expense of a session of tha
legislature. He advocates, by way of pref
erence, a constitutional convention as an
efficient means of securing changes in the
organlo law, if it were not for the magni
tude of the atate debt.
While the governor has been known to
favor maximum freight rate legislation thla
authorised statement goes further and Is
mora explicit than any prevloua utterance.
His suggestion that tha executive be given
power on his own motion to bring an orig
inal action In tha supreme court to enforce
qultabla and reasonable freight rates Is In
tended to expedite bearings and prevent tha
delay Involved In an appeal. It is believed
that the suggestions of the statement given
out today will be embodied In his message
to the next legislature.
Statement of Governor.
Tha statement follows:
In my Judgment there exists no sufficient
reason for calling the legislature together
In special session for the purpose of sub
mitting constitutional amendments or for
any other purpose to which my attention
baa been called up to the present time.
In view of the experience Nebraska haa
had In voting on proponed amendments to
the constitution no one can reasonably hope
to see the amendments carry at the next
general election If submitted. While I am
In favor of amending the constitution In a
number of particulars. I do not feel Justl
fied In putting the state to the expense of
an extra session for the purpose of again
submitting the proposed amendments. That
method of relief Is an acknowledged failure
In this state and I know of no greater rea
son to hope for Its success next vear than
In previous years when constitutional
amendments have been defeated.
The holding of a constitutional conven
tion would be the better way of accom
' pushing the desired changes In the or
ganic law, but owing to the magnitude of
the state debt I would not feel warranted
at this time In encouraging such a conven
tion. Fortunately, we now have legislation
In force which will gradually reduce the
debt and when It has been paid off. or
Drougnt oown to reasonamo bounds, then
a constitutional convention, with Its at
tendant heavy expense, might be consid
ered with propriety.
If the legislature were to be called I
should submit to It other matters as well
as amendments. The state is In need of
better and safer Insurance laws. It Is In
need of an antl-comhlnatlon, or trust, law
which does net contradict Itself and is
easy of enforcement. It Is In need of rail
way regulation. A law especially needed Is
one which will provide, not for a commis
sion to hear, postpone and bury complaints,
but a law to flx rates and a law which
will empower the governor, on his own
motion, to bring an action originally In
the supreme court. In the name of the
state, to enforce equitable and reasonable
freight rates. It Is Idle to talk about hav
ing an elective railway commission when
the legislature has the power under the
constitution to provide for railroad regula
tion and to authorise its executive officers,
op some of them, to enforce its provisions.
The executive officers are elective officers
Jrst as much as the proposed railroad
cmmtsslon would be. i
As I view It. the power to convene the.,
lea-islsture In extraordinary session. Is con
ferred unon the sovernor for the purpose
of meeting extreme emergencies, such as
cannot be foreseen and the existence of
wMch constitute an Immediate and a seri
ous mennce to the welfare of the state.
No s"-h emerrencv exists at present. In
m" luilstnent. I would not be Justified in
Rddine to the state's burden of debt bv
cn'llng a sneclal session for the considera
tion of such sublects as have been under
discussion. These are matters which can
volt for the rerular session, one vear from
tills winter. .At that time a new legisla
ture, directly from the peonje. will he In
power nd nubile sentiment will have been
more definitely expressed relative to the
nuestlons at Issue.

OVE YOUR STOMACH
1 A NlcE VACATION
Don't Do It By Starving It Either
Let a Substitute Do The Work.
Tha old adage, "All work and no play
makea Jack a dull boy," appllea Just as
well to the stomach, one of the most Im
portant organa of the human system, aa it
doea to tha man himself.
If your stomach la worn out and rebels
against being taxed buyond Ita limit, the
only sensible thing you can do la to give it
a rest.. Employ a substitute for a short
time and sea If It will not mora than re
pay you In results.
Stuart's Dyspepsia 'Tablets are a willing
and most efficient substitute. They them
selves digest every bit of food In the stom
ach In Just the same way that the stomach
Uaelf would wera It well. They contain all
tha essential elements that the gastrlo
juice and other digestive fluids of the stom
ach contain and actually act Just the same
and do just tha same work as the natural
fluids would do wera the stomach well and
sound. They, therefoie, relieve the stom
ach, just as one workman relieves an
other, and permit It to rest and recuperate
and regain Its normal health and atrength.
This "vacation" idea was suggested by
tha letter of a prominent lawyer In Chi
cago. Read what he says: "I waa en
gaged In the moat momentous undertaking
of my life In bringing about the coalition
of certain great Interests that meant much
to me as well aa my clients. It waa not
the work of days, but of months; I waa
working night and day almost, when at a
very critical time my stomach went com
pletely back on me. Tha undue mental
strain brought it about and hurried up
what would have happened later on.
"What I ate I had to literally force down,
ana, that was a source of misery, as I had
a aour stomach much of tha time. My
head ached, . I waa sluggish and began to
lose my ambition to carry out my under
taking. It looked pretty gloomy for me
and .1 confided my plight to one of my
clients. He had been cured by Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and at once went down
to a drug store and brought a box up to
tha office.
"J, had not taken a Quarter of that box
before I found that they would do all the
work, my stomach ever did, and aa a rest
or vacation was out of tha question' for
ma, I determined 19 give my stomach a
vacation. I kept right on taking tha tail
less and braced up and went ahead with
my work with renewed vigor, ate Just so
much aa I ever did aud carried out that
undertaking to a successful issue. I feel
that l'hsve Btuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to
thank for saving me the handsomest tee I
trrr rviiww, wni a my repuisunn,
and last, but aot least, my stomach.",,
