THE NEWS AND OBSERVER WEDNESDAY MORNING. APRIL r. 1899

conferred greater powers. the sole and
absolute control in every respect. To
change this would necessarily continue
the same duties in the hands of other
parties, and the defendants contention
is that would be to substantially con-
tinue his office in other hands, and ille-
gal. That is the proposition before us.
The defendant claims control of more
than 1000 of the States convicts, pos
session of 100000 of the States prop
erty and to receive 100000 annually
for sale of the products of the States
farms with the appointment of l69
place-holders in the States service and
to fix their salaries and other large
powers, with no security to the State but
bond of $1,000 and it is gravcly ar
gued to us that the legislature can not in
discharge of its governmental functions
change chat system of government, be-
cause under the new act, necessarily
the same duties would be discharged by
the Directors and Executive Board
and others and the defendant would lose
profitable employment. But govern
ments are established for the benefit of
the people, and not that office-hOlders
may receive compenSation-the last IS
purely incidental and only to be render
ed when the State desires and receives
the services. The office of Superinten-
dent of the States Prison or Peniten-
tiary was created by legislative enact
ment laws 1897, chapter 219, section
n and therefore it can be abolished in
the same mode and at the will of the
legislature. THE Legislature (of 1880
had the same power to abolish it that
the legislature (of 1890 had to create
it," State VS. Walker, 60 =. G. 461.
The only question before us should be
has the office been abolished? The
Act of 26 January, 1899, ITO provide for
the government of the States Prison,
provideS (sectiOn 12): THE office of
Superintendent Of the Penitentiary is
hereby abolished and all laws and
clauses of laws. providing for the APP
pOntment of or imposing any duties
upon. or providing for, any compensa-
ton for such officer are hereby express
ly repealed" As the legislature had
power to abolish the office. the above
would seem clearcut unmistakable eX-
preston of their will that the office has
been abolished Two late decisions of
this court are decisive Of the point. In
Wood vs. Bellamy, 120 n. c. 212 after
Il careful review of our authorities, 1T
is said by Montgomery, j. 1T IS un-
doubtedly the law in North Carolina
that an office mot created by the Con-
stitution) can be abolished and that as
result the officer loses his office and
the property in it. This is no breach
of the contract on the part of the
State The holder accepted the office
subject to this contingency. No one
would contend that because an office
was in the estimation of the legislature
useful and necessary ut the time OF
its creation, such an office would con-
tinue to be forever public necessity.
Ii an office once useful should become

JUSTICE CLARK UiSSENTs.
lands Dtw' an Opinion folding that tie 0ffic
of Superintendent was Abolished.

Justice Clark, dissenting, handed
down the following opinion in which he
holds that the office in question was
really and not nominally abolished:
The management and control of the
State Prison is essentially a govern
mental function. 1t is an Indispensable
part of the administration of the Grim
inal laws of the State. No Legislature
can deprive the State of that power by
giving it away or bargaining it away.
1t is startling contention of the de-
PENDANT that, because the legislature of
1897 placed the control of the State
Prison in superintendent with vast
powers and privileges accompanied by
a salary of $1,000, therefore, Il subse-
quent legislature is powerless to resume
control and change the management
because that would deprive him of his
pay. This is to make the incident of
greater Importance than the subject,
and the inalienable right of the State
to control its own institutions subordin-
ate to an office holders demand for a
salary. If the legislature could by
creating a four years term of office put
it out of the power of the next leglsa-
ture to assert State control of its most
important institution and branch of
it's administration of the criminal laws,
it could, by making the term ten years,
twenty-five years or fifty years, have
forbidden the people of North Carolina
from touching the institution during
those periods. If the legislature of
1897 could confer the great powers
they did upon the superintendent. with
out power of repeal, they could have

The discovery has been made, perfected
triumphantly tested and given to the world
by the eminent American medical expert
specialist-Dr. i. a. Slocum.
The Slocum System is a thorough com
plete and comprehensive System of Treat
ment consisting of Four distinct Prepare
tions. Combined, they represent the actual
annihilator of Consumption, coughs, colds,
asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, weakened and
rundown systems, anemic conditions, laryn-
gifts, grippe and its serious after-effects.
Pirst-The Slocum System kills and drives
out of the human system every death-dealing
germ, thereby rendering it susceptible to re-
sponsive treatment.
Second-It introduces building-up, fat
tening, strength-restoring food, which re-
stores the disease-wasted tissues and brings
the throat andlungs into active, healthy use.

No REGIMENT in the Philippines, either
volunteers or regulars, has performed
more valiant service than the First Ne
braska under Col. Stotsenburg. This
result is largely due to the excellent
discipline maintained in the regiment by
its colonel, and his military training in
the regular army. The boys who are
under him are loud in his praise since
the fighting commenced. In all the
letters from the boys, published in their
home papers, they never fail to speak of
their colonel in the most complimentary
way. We quote the following as sam
pie, from long letter from David City
boy, published last week in the News of
that city, written February 10th: "Col
Stotsenburg is crackerjack in battle.
He was right in front all the time and
made no mistakes. He had a six shooter
in one hand and his hat in the other
StOtsenburg don't care any more for
bullets than for flies, and he is always to
the front and takes advantage of every
piece OF ground. He is very strict but
all right in time of war.-Seward Blade.
