while she was too weak to resent

DYING HARD.

Notwithsta ndiDg the State constitution
says that each House OF the Legislature
shall be the judge OF the qualifications OF
its own members, Boss Wilson had an act
passed through the House of Representa-
tives yesterday constituting the Secretary
of State the sole and only Judge OF the
qualifications of the members OF both
Houses.
What an absurdity to define by statute
In contradiction to the plain constitu-
tional provision! |
The idea OF fixing penalty OF from one
to three years Imprisonment upon the
presiding officer or clerk Of the House for
refusing to acceptIsuch a roll is ridiculous,
while no penalty or restriction is placed
upon the Secretary OF State for placing up
on such roll person who is not elected
or in any other way qualified to be there.
They're dying hard.
