we will abolish jury trials and leave
all to the Judge; If we will then or
dain that the legislator shall himsei1
be that Judge; and IL We will place the
executive power in the same hands,
We may readily simplify government
We may easily bring it to the simplest
of all possible forms, pure despotism.
But a separation of departments, 50 FAR
as practicable, and the preservation of
clear lines of division between them, Is
the fundamental idea in the creation of
all our constitutions; and doubtless, the
continuance of regulated liberty de-
ponds on maintaining these bound
aries" ,,g " 3S!@
1t is charged that If Democrats are
returned to the Legislature this cleo
ton on a platform protesting against
executive encroachment, it will lead
merely to a pickering, fault-finding
and unbusinesslike session of the Leg
islature wherein the practical wants
and needs of the people will be disye-
garded, and the time given over to
factional and useless quarrels with the
Executive.
Webster has something to say on this
point in the same speech, pointing out
that the highest and most useful func-
ton of representative of the peop.e
is to resist executive encroachment and
from the very start to foresee and at
once to call halt upon any subversion
of established land marks. This Is
what he says:
I'VE have been taught to regard a
representative of the people as a sem
tinel on the watch-tower of liberty. is
he to be blind, though visible danger
approaches? Is he to be deaf, though
sounds of peril fill the air? Is he not,
rather, to catch the lowest whisper
which breathes intention or purpose of
encroachment on the public liberties,
and to give his voice breath and ut
terance at the first appearance of dang
err? Is not his eye to traverse the whole
horizon detecting, through all dis
guises. every enemy advancing, In any
form, towards the citadel which he
guards? Sir, this duty of foreseeing
danger and proclaiming it, this defer
ence of established landmarks; this fear
less resistance of whatever would trans
cend or remove them,-all belong to
the representative character, are in
terwoven with it's very nature. If de-
prived of them, an active, intelligent,
faithful agent of the people will be con-
verted into an unresisting and passive
instrument of power. A representative
body, which gives up these rights and
and duties, gives itself up. 1t is a
representative body no longer. 1t has
broken the tie between itself and its
constituents, and henceforth is fit only
to be regarded as an inert, self-sacri-
feed mass, from which all appropriate
principle of vitality has departed for
ever"

Talk about the expense to State
candidates under the present system
is absurd. Doesn't every body know
that new candidate to stand any
show at all would have to visit every
county any way? Then think of the
enormous expense of every aspirant
to Office printing his speech in the
newspapers, which would become
necessary in the event the campaign
meetings were abolished.

An architect Of recognized abili'

An architect Of recognized ability
should be careful in expressing an
opinion questioning the safety of a
public building. Some time ago
Mr. G C. Wilson of Columbia gave
out a statement that from mathe-
matical calculations based on meas
uiements made by himself he sus-
pected that the dome of the much
abused State Capitol building was
unsafe and liable to topple over. On
the strength of this opinion Cover.
nor Hayward employed an expert
architect to Investigate the matter,
and now the expert reports that bar.
ring one or two minor defects the
dome is all right. These expert opin-
ions come high, to say nothing of the
mental anguish suffered by the brave
State officials, who a la Casabianca,
held to their places when at any mo-
menta "a huge mass of steel and granite
might have come crashing down
upon them.
