Legislative Gossip.

The House took formal action
on the governors recommendation
regarding Idaho's invalid laws and
decided that there shall be no new
legislation until the process of in.
jecting life into the old and uncon-
stitutional laws passed since state
hood shall have been completed.
Wednesday the House com.
menced the active work of re-en-
acting the laws passed since Idaho
was admitted to the sisterhood of
States. 1t is tedious process, and
will require in the neighborhood of
two weeks in its contamination
Each of the laws is introduced and
read the first and second times by
title under suspension, which re-
quires call of the long roll for
each bill. This occupies a great
deal of time, but the monotonous
grind will not have been commenced
in reality until the time comes for
the third reading, when all of these
bills, and there are about $50 of
them, will have to be read in full.
Sixty-nine bills were introduced,
two-thirds of which were read the

terday that all the laws enacted
since the admission of the State
are to be confirmed and validated

advocates.

To write q letter when one is suf-

A canvass by the committee on

this is more than the necessary two
thirds. That several senator's not

poY STARVED 10 DEATH AT BOISE.
Pitifnl Story Of SUFFERING OF Motherlsss
children.

Pitiful Story Of Suffering Of Motherles
Last Saturdays Statesman says:
A tale Of misery, poverty and star
walton was revealed by the death
Thursday night of little 5-year-old
Chester Mackey.
That the child's death resulted
from starvation is the opinion OF
all who saw him during the day
and at night when the father Of the
little fellow brought Chester and
his brother, lad of II years, to
the hospital and beseeched the Sis
tiers to take them in from the cold
and storm and give them nourish-
ment to save the boys from death.
When the boys were given into
the care of the Sisters it was EVIL
dent that gaunt starvation had
marked at least the younger one.
But both were so emaciated that it
was not thought either would SUR
vive. They were pinched with hun
ger, dirty and half-clad, or even
less, and shivered in the wet rags
that chung to their wasted bodies.
Two weeks ago the mother OF
the boys died; there were six other
children at home, and the father
was out of work. Mackey is shift
less, utterly without ambition or
the energy to get out and hustle for
living for himself and his children.
The home from whence the father
and two boys came to Boise is
about 10 miles out in the country,
across the river. There in tene.
ment shack the father and eight
children have eked out a miserable
existence since the death of the
wife and mother. At last accounte
the other boy was not expected to
live.

The Governors Massage .

Governor Steunenberg's message
submitted to the joint session of
the Fifth state legislature is an able
document, and so voluminous that
the reading of it required two hours.
It deals with vest number of state
questions and many important
recommendations are made. The
governor says we must have an
economical administration.
On the subject of the states in
valid laws, the governor asks for
the adoption of the plan for putting
life into the laws enacted since
Idaho became a state, such large
proportion Of them being subject
to attack on the lines of the fee bill
decision.
Some of the governors general
recommendations are as follows:
Every session of our legislature
since statehood has memorialized
congress to pass a law providing
for the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of Is to /. I earnestly rec.
ommend the passage Of q joint res.
olution to this effect.
The number of deaf, dumb and
blind children whom the state is
educating in other states has great
~ increased in the past two years.
The $4,000 to $4,000 paid for
this purpose every two years would
easily pay for their education and
maintenance at home, had the state
a suitable building for home and
school purpose.
Legislation for the protection and
safety of underground workers is
especially recommended. The fact
alone that there have been no great
disasters in our mines in recent
years does not eliminate the ele-
ment of constant peril and danger
from the miners occupation. AL
most daily is the news received of
an accident in some mining dis
trict, resulting in an appalling loss
of life, that would have been avert
ed had proper precautions been OBJ
served. These producers of wealth
should be made as secure as posi-
BILE from accident-even though the
capital engaged in operating has to
pass few dividends in order to
provide the necessary safeguards.

make this emphatic statement from
personal knowledge of the homes
which these women leave behind
when they 60 to meetings." writes
Edward Box in the January Ladies'
Home Journal. II have seen the
rooms of their homes left in wild
disorder; / have seen their servants
sitting in idleness with work on
every hand to do; I have seen
the children neglected and left to
their own devices; l have heard
husbands speak in derision of the
motives of their wives. No woman
in a happy American home can ever
afford to listen to these parasites of
her sex. Fortunately, the platform
woman's influence is steadily on
the wane. She was never a power.
She was never even picturesque.
Her worst injury was wrought upon
certain weak women who for the
time she deluded. But even With
them she was soon regarded with
wonder rather than with interest !:
with suspicion rather than with con-
tiience. Less and less has she been
able to get listeners, and it is sig
niticant that in places where she has
spoken during the present season
she has not been seen again. The
disappearance of the platform wom-
an is a case of blot being blotted

both were running at the rate of IS
miles per hour, the engines meeting
head-on with terrific force. The
train men did not have time to
jump. The passenger train was Is
minutes late and had the right OF
way. All the freight trains on the
Knoxville Il Ohio division had been
notified the passenger train was on
late run, and the only cause for
the accident that can be given is
that Engineer Maxey of the freight
train misread his orders. Four
persons were killed in the accident.
