BYNUM DEFENDS CODIFIERS
Saws Immense Amount Of Work
Could Not Be Done Quickly.
Denies Allegation Power Of Con
Eress TO Make Laws Was JNurped
by CodifyiHE Commission.

EN-Cougressman William ID. BynUm,
member of the United States Codifying
Commission. in "a statement last night
defended the commission from charges
that are being circulated against it To the
effect that it has prolonged its existence
unnecessarily. and that by entering into
the field of revision it has exceeded the
powers conferred upon it. thus compelling
Congress TO cast aside "a great part of
the work which il has done during the
nine years since its organization. The
commission mas been freely criticised of
late on the alleged ground that. instead
of continiug its efforts 10 codifyiug the
laws. il has gone ahead and made law,
thus usurping the power of Congress.
Mr. Barnums statement in part, is as
follows:
There seems 10 he total lack Of cor
rect information i'm regard TO the commits
sion and its labors. While directed 10
revise and codify the criminal and penal
laws. and thus engaged they We're required
10 ureDare a code of laws. civil and Grim
inal. for Alaska. Several months later
Congress directed that they revise and
codify laws concerning the jurisdiction
and practice of the courts OF the United
States.
we reported revision OF The criminal
and penal laws. and the judiciary title
10 Congress in 1901, where the titles have
been since.
Before we completed these Congress di-
rected the revision OF all general and
permanent laws passed since the last To.
vision i'm 1873. This We began in 1901, and
will complete the task by December i5-
There has been more legislation I'm the
last thirty-three years thau during the
preceding history OF the country. I do
not feel that the commission is subject
to criticism for the time required
The revision comprises nearly 5000 Sec
tons. including reference index and notes.

TEMPERANCE WORK
WAS DISCUSSED
EVANGELICAL ASSOCIATION DIS
CUssED THE LIQUOR QUESTION
IN ALL OF ITS ASPECTS.

The Evangelical Association gave
over yesterday to a discussion of
the temperance work. Senator Dickey
addressed the meeting and gave the
outline of the temperance work for the
coming year.
AS outlined by Senator Dickey, the
Civic Federation and the AntiSalOon
League endorsed last years local OPP
ton law that was not passed by the
legislature People of the town through
the churches and individual endeavor
would be asked to support the law in
the coming election. The temperance
people will be in favor of high license
during the coming year provided they
can be made to see that such a law will
reduce the number of saloons The
Federation and the League will both
be in favor of the local option law.
After Senator Dickey had finished
speaking the Association passed a res
olution by a hearty vote supporting
the work as outlined by the senator.
They also requested that a certain per-
son be named to visit the different
churches of the islands and give ad-
dresses at different times on the liquor
question.
one man from each island was APP
pointed as a committee to work with
the Anti-Saloon League. These men
are also to work on the agitation com
mittees. The men appointed were:
Hawaii, Rev. 5. Desha; Maui, Rev. j.
Kalino; Oahu, Supervisor Archer, and
Kauai w II. Rice, Sr.
! Rev. McGilvray from Siam addressed
the meeting. He has been Il missionary
there for forty-eight years and told of
the work.
Routine work of the Association was
then taken up. DR.. Scudder is still
having trouble with the Maui dele
gates but will straighten things out to-
, day.
