1n Ertru Session Probable.

The recent decision of the
supreme court overturning the
state Board of Equalization, as
well as previous decisions of
the same body in overthrowing
all acts passed creating new
counties, createsa pressing ne
cessity for an extra session of
the legislature of Idaho. Gov.
Wiley has been interviewed
on the subject. and his views
seem to express the opinion
that there is no escape from
the distasteful duty of rc-as-
sembling the legislature in
special session to enact sundry
specific measures which are
necessary to grease the wheels
OF the state government.
Every act of the present leg
1slature which has been passed
upon by the supreme court has
been declared demonstrations
al. Some papers attribute this
fact to the ignorance and stu
pidity of the members of the
legislature, and this has much
to do with it, though not all.
1t is not necessary to travel a
thousand miles from Idaho
county to illustrate the fact
that the men who were placed
on the republican legislative
ticket in the several counties
were selected, not because of
their ability, experience, or
fitness as law makers, but be-

cause of their friendship for
this or that senatorial candi-
date. The election of U. S.
senators was the primary pur-
pose for which legislators were
elected, and law making was
merely an incidental and Sec
ondary part of their duties.
The senatorial controversy mo-
noplised the exclusive atten-
ton of legislators, SO that such
laws as were enacted received
slight consideration, and are,
of course, not in harmony with
the constitution of the state.
And this brings us down to
another factor as the cause Of
the deficient legislation which
entails upon us the unfruitful
expense Of an extra session.
The constitution Of the state is
itselfa colossal aggregation of
absurd and illogical inconsist-
encies which would require the
services of a host Of Philadel-
phia lawyers to unravel and
explain sufficiently to frame
thereon a code of laws for the
government Of the various sub
divisions and departments of
the state. These defects are
inherent in the constitution
itself, and can only be remov-
! ed by complete revision of
the existing organic law. 1t
is perhaps too early to agitate
for the calling of u new con-
vention to frame new state
charter, but the people will
find in time that this is the
only permanent remedy for
existing conditions.
Some relief may be had by
amending the Federal consti-
tuition so that u. S. senators
shall be elected by the people,
instead of by the legislatures,
thus removing from the state
legislatures large corrupting
and demoralising influence the
most potent in our politics. II
this amendment ever carries
it would be grand thing for
the people of the several states
but years will elapse before
this righteous reform can be
engrafted upon the supreme
law of the land and meanwhile
the people will have to go or
in the same old rut, electine
scrub politicians and senator.
ial henchmen to their state
legislatures, and enduring the
evils which are bound to flow
from q corrupt fountain heat
of legislation. The right o
the people to elect their U. S
senators by direct vote is be
yond question, but having sur
rendered this right to theil
local legislatures they will nov
have to fight, perhaps for thir
ty years, to get that thought
lessly surrendered right bacl
into their own hands. Thu
liberties of the people are new
er so secure as when they hole
them in their own hands
Once surrendered, they ar,
never regained without a long
struggle. Thus it is that con
situations are framed to guarc
the rights of the people, ant
when they do so they becom'
in truth and reality the palla
diums of popular liberty.

Whitman was FIRST stricken with par
alysis as long ago as 1873. He retired
from the clerkship at Washington the
following year, and since then had rested
from all but self-imposed employment.
Walter Whitman is native of Long
Island, N. Y. He was born at West
Hills on March 81, 1919. His business
was that of printer. When his brother
was wounded in the civil war he pro
cured an appointment as nurse, in winch
capacity he served at Washington and
in Virginia from 1862 to 1865. During
the ensuing nine years he held clerkshlp
at the federal capital.
Whitman's Leaves OF Grass was
first published in 1855. 1t was re
ceived with little but adverse criticism
and continued to be subject OF deprecla
ton, much of it OF frivolous sort, unti

other eminent writers. both American
and foreign, pointed out its peculiar ex

republished several times and commands

In the Asheville Female college are two

night in the new hall Of the latter, the
two societies held Joint debate on the
question: "Rspolved, that Mother Goose
has exercised greater influence on the
thought Of the nineteenth century than
Shakespeare.
The affirmative was maintained by
Misses Pearl Arnold and Sadie Bostick,
representatives Of the Land of the Sky
the negative by Misses Lille Rowe and
Hattie Chase, representatives OF the "C.
E. b."
Music was furnished in most pleasing
and skilllul manner by Miss AWE McFad'

son, of Statesville, N. c.; Miss Elects
Davis, of Kensington, Ga; and Miss Ida
Blackburn, of Bryson City, N. {. Thes'
Young ladies showed how well they hav'
been trained in the art of music.
The Young ladies were happy in tn
selection of a committee i'll the person
of Rev. c. w. Byrd, pastor of Contra
church. Miss Hattie Dwire, cultivate
lady from Covington, Ky, and Mis-
: Katie Millard, of the Orange stree
school. This was certainly very CON
} petent committee, but they seemed MOI
impressed by the smooth diction, elegar
rhetoric, and sweet Mother Goose jung
OF Misses Arnold and Bostck, than b
the clear and cogent arguments
Misses Rowe and Chase, and so ga,
their decision in favor of the affirmativ
of and consequently Mother Goose bore G

nineteenth century.

elegantly written essays, showed VIII

When the secretaries of the respectl
- societies called the rolls, each meml
