One reform that is maxim,

One reform that is making pro-
gress is the Torrens land title sys-
tenn. The principle is that all
land titles are under the super.
vision oil an officer and the records
show all that can be determined
by abstracts about the condition of
land titles. The state then guar
antees title to the purchaser or
mortgage. This makes lands
more valuable in the markets by
removing all question of defective
title and enables the farmer to
secure lower interest because there
aae no risks or expense in making
loans and securing transfer Of title
in the event CT foreclosure.

lease this land and receive SO per

The free school book question
comes by Limitation of contracts
aud other provisions of the old
l'w before our law makers. The
idea Of free text books was an exper-
iment, an Innovation six years ago.
1t is now an accepted principle oil
progressive educational legislation.
Idaho started at the pole aud is in
the lead in this progressive move.
The duty Of the Legislature is now
apparent. Idaho should keep to
the front and perpetuate the free
school book law. The one thing
to avoid is the dangers of the con-
tract system The legislature will.
be besieged by job promoters. In
this there is public danger. The
legislators are not all educators.
A plan for wise selection of
books for the free system should
be devised. The state is in dan
ger Of being jobbed aud the schools
leopardized by inferior books The
theory Of contracts is wrong.

We print elsewhere I'm to-dSys issue
am address TO the Democratic voters OF
Virginia upon a subject that IS Just now
attracting the thoughtful attention OF
every patriotic citizen Of the United
States We refer TO the present unsa'-
lsfactory method of clecting senators in

the part OF our forefathers for elecung
senators i'm Congress by the Lesisla-

a long time the system worked We'll.
Had this continued there would have

there has been so much trickcry and cor

now the rule rather than the exception

OBEDIENCE.

The Ten commandments which were
delivered to Moses for the government of
the children of Israel have stood the test
of ages and are to-day the foundation
flaw in every civilized country. II is
conceded that these laws are necessary
10 the protection Of society and, generally
speaking. they are as we'll adapted to
conditions I'm the nineteenth century as
they we're TO conditions that existed an
Israel when Moses received the tables
of stones on the mountain. These Com
mandments were given for the govern
mcnt OF Gods people and it was neces-
sary 20 tine welfare of Israel that each
commandment should Doe obeyed. But
there was "a higher purpose involved In
their deIverance The Commandments
were designed not simply TO require that
Iracl should DO this and 70 prohibit Israel
from doing that bat for the higher pur-
pose of intoxicating the lesson of oDedi-
cncc. Israel was commanded to obey
not simply because this code of laws was
necessary TO his welfare. but because
obedience Is great moral principle. the
recognition of which is necessary to re-
usious character and to good citizenship.
A child may obey its parents in per-
functory way. through fear that If 1t do
NOT obey 70 will be punished, but such
child has not learned the spirit OF ODE
dience which proceeds out of a wiling
heart. an obedience through love and re-
spect which asks no questions and sub
mits itself 10 recognized authority.
II is that sort Of obedience which God
reouires OF his people to-day. an ODE
dience through faith. a willing submis-
sion TO the divine authority without ques-
rop and with fun confidence that all his
commands are just and for our good. To
obey. in .this sense. is better than TO sacri-
Ace.
But we had not intended to preach
sermon. We would impress the fact that
this sort OF obedience is necessary 20 civil
lized government. IN order to the protec-
ton OF society each citizen surrenders
something of what Ne call personal hoer-
tv and by common consent laws are
framed by chosen representatives, Of the
neonle Tor the government or all. We
have a constitution and we have com
mon law and statutory laws for our gov
eminent The people make these laws
and the creator is always greater than
the creature. but FOR the common veal
the creators surrender something OF their
rights and aeyee TO submit themselves 10
the law
The good citizen therefore. is he who
ln "A true spirit Of obedience, in a spirit
of reverence and respect for the const-
tted authority. conforms 20 the law Of
the land. respects these laws as he does
the laws OF God, and not only refuses to
violate the law but upon all occasions
stands ready win other good citizens to
yindicate II and 10 defend II with his life
against those who would trample ii under
foot.
Now We say that II IS that spirit and

keeping and proper care Of their charges.
The officers and guards and physicians
OF tho penitenuary are also appointed
by the commission.
The commissioners also have authority
10 lease the convicts. and should the
authority OF any county or municipal cor
poratlon IN Georgia desire 10 utilize any
number Of oonvicts on public roads or
works. said authorities may file with
The commission requisiton. stating
the number wanted. the kind Of work
10 Doe done etc. and the commissioners
are authorized 20 furnish the number
Of conyicts 50 required.
The commission is further constituted
o board of pardons, whose duty II is TO
investigate all applications for executive
cIemcncy and make recommendation TO
the Governor regarding the granting OF
the same Their recommendations are
not confined TO convicts who make APP
plicatlons for pardon. but the commits
sioncrs are authorized upon their own
motion TO investigate and recommend
executive executive cicmency IN every
case deserving it,
IL viii bc seen from this that the Geor-
gla Commission IS very different from
the Board Of Pardons for Virginia, as
contemplated by The Times. our idea
IS that such a board should be made up
Of the Governor and two other officers
OF state government, and that it should
have no othr duties save that of inves-
tigating and determining ali applications
