chief sufferers from chronic sores and

healing is simply impossible and the

From the Denver News.
The attachment OF the omnibus
statehood bill to the postomce up.
preparation measure In the form Of q
rider IL the latest triumph Tor the
management Of Senator Quay. who
has shown himself an adept In the
higher form Of practical politics ~
well - those which relate to the com.
position and management Of = state
legislature. The action of the senate
committee on post routes means one
Of three things:
Frst-The passage through the
senate OF the omnibus statehood bill
admitting Arizona, New Mexico and
Oklahoma without further resistance.
Second-The veto by President
Roosevelt Of the statehood provision.
Third-The calling OF an extra SEES
sion of congress to pass necessary ap-
preparations.
After his rough rider speeches OF
last summer in Arizona. New Mexico
and Oklahoma the president will
doubtless avoid the veto method. as
this would place him in direct and
personal antagonism with thousands
OF close friends IN the nearer west,
whose regard extends beyond the ex.
pectations and the differences which
pertain to partisan politics.
The extra session feature, II that
becomes necessary. will be the joint
product OF the president and the op-
ponents OF statehood-the senators
who fear the growing influence OF
beyond the Missouri" The admins
tration forces. in and out OF congress,
have nothing to kain from an extra
session.
Senator Quay's rider proceeding
cannot well be attacked in the sen.
ate or house from the standpoint OF
legislative practice. It has too many
good precedents Immediately behind
1t. In addition to its place on the
postofice bill. the Quay statehood
measure Is also attached to the sun.
dry civil appropriation and to the ap-
preparation for the agricultural de-
partment. In this triple form It Is
certain Of action at an early date,
and this. too, whether the president
pro tempore Of the senate. Senator
Frye Of Maine. shall or shall not be
called upon for q ruling with regard
to the character Of the statehood rid
er-whether 1t may be regarded as
germane to any or all Of the appro-
priations to which It Is now attach
ed.
While It Is true that no state has
ever been admitted tt the Union by
virtue of . rider to q bill under an
other and more general title, 1t IS
true that the senate and house have
given liberal license to the rider form
of legislation.
Measures Of wide and far-reachins
interest have been passed In this
way. such - the Spooner bill. con-
ferring a species OF civil government
on the Philippines. and the Plat bill
requiring certain concessions from
Cuba as q condition precedent to our
recognition Of her independence.
Both Of these measures were tackled
on to an army appropriation bill. Ok
lahoma herself. for which statehood is
now demanded. was originally thrown
open to settlement by means OF an
amendment attached to the Indian ap-
preparation bill.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEB. IS
LEGISLATION.

An old saying is " No news is good
news" 1t may we'll be changed to.
"No legislation is good legislation"
One of the great evils of u present
cnt system is the constant changes
made in the laws.
The people only just become ac-
quainted with q new law, when for
some personal reason it is changed.
There often turks concealed within
some apparently harmless act OF leg
islation, a personal advantage to be
enjoyed by some one behind the meas
ure. The public good is so often sac
riiced for private gain, that the
great body of the community feeling
itself powerless to influence legisla-
ton. resigns itself to its fate, and
swallows whatever legislative pill the
solons, in their wisdom. or self inter
est, nay administer.
Take the question of fees. as a IA
miliar illustration. Public officers con-
stitute a legislative commission or
lobby. Funds are contributed and
this committee jump about the legis-
lative chambers excrting its inlu-
ence upon the members. until fees
are placed far beyond the compensa-
ton point. The people pocket the stu
alton, pay the bills and content them
selves by grumbling.
An ambitious parsonage gets INTO
the legislature and begins to feather
his own nest" Straightway he picks
out his office, or arranges to create
one. fixes a good fat salary and is
soon in the enjoyment of all the
luxuries of high living.
The people pay the bills and many
look with admiration at the smooth
tactics by means Of which they are
taxed for the individuals benefit.
A legislator wants to make a nam
and do something for his locality.
Straightway he combines with a lot OF
other ambitious statesmen, and soon
reform schools, blind asylums and
like institutions are fastened upon
the public and the people q the
bills. The masses, the merchants,
mechanics, laborers, the average bus
mess man has no more TO do with
making tie laws, no more influence
in legislation than the man in the
moon.
This is true of all legislative bod
les, in a greater or less degree.
1t Is true as we'll of congress. Is
there any correction for this firmly
established and growing evil?
Yes, one at least, and the patriot
ic effort of men may find more
Direct legislation by the people.
Not carried so far as to make such
a system cumbersome, so that it will
fall by it's impracticability, but a SIM
pie. carefully devised system, where
by the people in their conceive capac-
ity may initiate measures for the pub
lie good and veto bad laws.
The peoples veto should be strong
CIR than that of any governor, however
patriotic and unselfish he nay be.
The initiative and referendum,
properly understood, and carefully
guarded, must some day become a
part OF our system.
