THE wORDEN CASE.

The appeal issued by Eugene "
Debs to the public in behalf of SaItei
Il. Worden, condemned to death In
California for train wrecking, is very
earnest. The wreclsing occurred on the
southern Pacific railroad during tho
big strike in 1894. Worden was one OF
the local leaders In the trouble. and
Debs now declares that he was only
the tool of secret agents of the railroad
company. The object, he says. was tc
| turn public sentiment against the
workingmen, and for this purpose the
plot was laid to entrap them to commit
some overt act. The wrecking of the
train was the result and then "a chain
| OF discriminating evidence was forged
around the helpless victim" For this
| reason Mr.. Debs urges that every con-
ceivable influence be brought to bear
upon Governor Budd to prevent the
approaching tragedy" The execution
of Worden. he insists. would be "a
blot upon the state which would turn
Into a living accusation and confront
and disgrace the commonwealth for
ever
Naturally there is much sympathy
for the condemned man. whether the
crime of which he was convicted was
due to corporate conspiracy, as Mr..
Debs alleges. or to infammatory
harangues such as strike leaders at the
time frequently INDUCED in In either
case he may be considered u victim
But the danger IL, were people of the
convicted mans moral makeup to
escape the consequences of their acts,
that others might be led TO
regard mercy as an evidence Of i'm
potency and be confirmed in the errone-
GUS belief that their unions are stronc
enough to trample the law in the dus,
and challenge society to maintain its.
supremacy. The result would be more
disorders. more bioodshed Strikes
would he made the excuse for riots,
destruction OF property. perhaps more
train wreclting and the sacrifice of
lives. II seems necessary to give to the
element which does not hesitate to

tencc is, therefore. rather serious

Mr. Debs accompanies his appeal is
not calculated to inspire confidence
in the wisdom OF a course dictated
entirely by mercy. In the name of the
worNngmen of the country he
threatens that unless the governor in
terferes. these will neither forget nor
forgive. 1t would have been q greas

| OF the general situation in Idaho II
may be said that the members OF the
last legislature were elected in pur-
suance of the provisions Of what pur-
| ported to be valid law; their election
was the result of bona fide action by
| the people OF the whole state, in whom
all powers of government originate;
they were sworn In and assumed office
in formal and public manner, and in
like manner proceeded with the dis
charge of their duties and the exercise
of their powers as legislators. They

ought not to be forgotten.
The Idaho legislature. at its last ses-
sion. spent week after week in tire
some, expensive, long drawn-out sena-
torial contest, which so engrossed the
time and minds of the law makers that
they could not possibly give due at
tention to legislation. The wasting of
SO large part of the session in this
way caused pell nell rushing through
of bills without mature consideration:

The result is n deplorable condition

Its supreme court has decided one of
the acts unconstitutional which was
passed In this way. and of course the
decision applies to all other acts passed
In the same way, not alone at the last
session Of the Legislature, but at all

So far-reaching Is the effect of the de-
cision that 1t has raised the question
whether any law under which any leg
islature subsequent TO the first was
elected, was valid; and this in turn
springs the question whether any of
the laws on the statute book of the
state, passed by any except the first
legislature, are valid.
