DEFECT OF LAW-MAKERS.
The last legislature of Idaho has
much to answer for because of the
failure to properly pass laws which
were endorsed by the people. Elec
tion of a United States senator con
sumed so much valuable time, that
important measures were pending up
to the last moment of the legislative
session. To get these hills through
it was thought wisj to pass them
without reading in full, although the
last feature is required by the con
stitution of the Etate. Idaho's crim
inal code was defective; and the
l&w-brenker had nutnerouj loop boles
by which to evade just punishment
for his wrong" doing, hence such
laws were introduced. He is not
slow to evade them now. - In, the
last three months half a dozen laws
passed by the state legislature have
been declared illegal by the supreme
court on constitutional g tounds.
Failure to pass these taw& in proper
form was due to nothing but care
lessness. In these flays of civil ser
vice reform and examinations for
fitness in every department of the
government, it might be well to re
quire that a candidate for the legis
lature be examined as. to his under
standing of the constitution of his
state. If he be found deficient, the
state could make no better invest
ment than to start a night school and
educate him. It appears strange
that the Idaho senate had not one
man who was sufficiently acquainted
with the constitution to know that
a bill cannot be made a Jaw without
Laving been read in full by sections
on the third and final reading. If
the decisions of the supreme court
are of any value, the Idaho public is
forced to believe that the last state
senate lacked that one man. Spo
kane Review..
Recent dispatches from Washing
ton indicate that the government
looks more favorably upon the project
of building locks at the dalles rapids
than it does the proposal of a ship
railway. Notwithstanding, The
'Chronicle is cf the opinion that it
"will be a long time before much
money is spent in removing the bar
riers to navigation at this point. The
country's finances have been sub
jected to a too heavy drain from the
late Democratic administration to al
low of much expenditure of . money
upon improvements just at present.
It miay come later, but in the mean
time it would . be well to urge the
building of a portage around the ob
structions as a temporary relief.
The English press hastens to criti
cize President McKinley's message,
But then, Englishmen do not like
anything that is done by an Ameri
can looking to the advancement of
his own country. It is well under
stood that McKinley has no other
object than to promote the welfare
and prosperity of the nation whose
chosen guardian he is.
The election of the present board
of directors of the Commercial and
Athletic Club is a fitting compliment
to a body of men who, by their de
votion to duty, have earned the
gratitude of those who enjoy the
benefits of the meritorious organiza
tion known as The Dalles Commer
cial and Athletic Club. The Chron
icle extends Us congratulations
both to the directors and to the club.
The' charges of the, Oregonian
against the municipal officers of
Portland show that city to be run
by a scandalous set of men, and the
sooner some cjange. is made, the
better it will bj for the common'
good. It is a sad commentary upon
the ability of the American people. to
govern themselves when they will
deliberately choose men for pcsitions
of high authority who -have repeat
edly shown themselves incapable of
discharging the trust committed to
their hands. Pennojer is an exam
ple in point.
