Governor HUI 1T preferred to leave
the vernon OF the state resting
under this great injustice rather
than approve that bill with that
shadowy objection existing.
The governor made his hostility
to the cause OF the women very
clear by pointiog out that, if any
married woman found her property
mismanaged by her husband, she
could proceed in The manner now
provided. He should have known
that ne wemanly woman desires to
90 into court to cir her family
troubles, and the law as it now
stands is an insult to the sex. The
statute gives the husband control
OF the separate property OF the wife,
and. If he squander it, all the wife
can do is to go into court and ask
relief. Against the bill intended
to correct such scandalous injustice,
the governor raised the fimsey OBJ
lection that the measure might
give come wife an advantage over
her husband, and on that ground
he interposed his veto.-Staes man.

PECULIAR DEFENSE.

One of the democratic spellbind
ers has had the hardihood to seek
to relieve the record of the admin
istration in connection with the
Kensler matter by attacking repub-
licans with the nasty case. 1t is a
peculiar defense.
At the time OF the democratic
stat convention it was democratic
state official who was attacked by
these same Hunt shouters. The
delegates were assured that it was
all scheme to defeat Hunt and
that there was nothing in the story.
Afterward it was found there was
a great deal in it and that a dis
graceful state of affairs had existed.
The charge was made that Attorney
General Martin dragged the matter
into politics; now it Is charged that
Mr.. Borah dragged it into that field
Mr.. Borah had nothing to do with
the matter. Ii dragging it into
politics consists Of calling attention
to the fact that such horrible con-
ditions had been permitted to exist
then Mr. Borah may be open to the
charge. Every honest person
should desire to have the admins
tratfon ousted that is responsible
for that and other scandals, and all
such desire to have the facts known
so the people can pass judgment
on them.
1t must be remembered that, in
this dreadful case, the governor

EQUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

1t has not been forgotten that
Governor Hunt vetoed the bill Civ
ing married women equal property
rights. After the legislature closed
the governor suddenly blossomed
out into'a great lawyer, and in con-
nection with this bill he filed "a veto
message in which he pretended to
find serious objections to the meas
ure. There was never anything IN
the veto; it was illogical and alto
gether unjustifable. Its burden
was that some woman might find a
possible opportunity to impose on
some man, and so the bill went in
to the waste basket.
Now it is claimed for the COVER
nor that he is friend of such
legislation. How absurd If he
had the desire to have the great in
justice of the present law removed
he would have signed that bill and
left it to the courts to pass upon it.
The only objection that he clearly
enunciated was one that was too
trifing to stand for a moment, and
if there had been any foundation
for it it could have been corrected
