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.
