Why a Socialist.

Miss Frances +. Sylvester, Socialist
nominee for School Superintendent,
is able To give some very tenable rea-
sons why she i. u member OF that party,
and the fret is that it is the only po-
lltical organization that admits women
to an equality in its counsels and priv
iltgc- Then she believes, with the
immortal Lincoln, that Labor is prior
to capital" aud should be accorded
that place in consideration by the PEG.
pie. So do the Democrats. Her party
maintains that utilities publicly used
should be owned by the governing
power, and enumerates railroads, tele.
graphs, telephones, gas and light and
water plants, while those privately
used should be privately owned, such
as clothes, books, and all objects Of a
personal nature. She thinks that COM
niodities should be produced for use
and not profit, and that if they were
provided by government, they would
escape adulteration as we'll as the pro.
fits OF wholesalers and middlemen.
II will be noted that much OF this pc.
sition is purely theoretical and may
not be realized in practice. The
public utility suggestion certainly has
some things to commend it, but hui
man nature will have to be materially
changed before it can become a pana-
cea for many ills, if not indeed consti-
tuting the motive power of machine
rule, which is now the bane OF our gov.
eminent.
The most important point she states
in her public avowal made in local
paper, is the belief that Socialistic
principles will result in equality OF the
sexes as wage.earners and abolition OF
child.labor. But will it? The ballot
will surely aid the former proposition.
Our own State, while . Territory, had
enough experience in the results flow
ing from woman's enfranchisement to
prove that. But will it change condi.
lions so as to relieve the poorer classes
from necessity Of drudgery, or OF max.
ing Children wage.earners to keep the
pot boiling? Bare assertion does not
make it so.
II, as Miss Sylvester asserts, Social.
ism will surround humanity with con.
ditions whereby it will be easy to
do right and difficult to do wrong,
the defined object of present lay,
we have merely to suggest that
that object has been on trial ever since
free government was instituted, with.
out much apparent progress being
made towards the implied millenial
dispensation. 1t is probably the fulfil.
ity ofsuch efforts that has resulted in
the conservatism of the Democratic
party, which directs that it is the part
of wisdom to advocate established
methods, or those reasonably sure of
acceptance, rather than to frame plat.
forms and place in position candidates
to:be knocked down.
Had Miss Sylvester been nominated
on the Democratic ticket, she would
have made an ideal candidates for
service so adapted TO women, and
might stand some show OF election.
Although she is still young, that con.
dition may not be changed before she
realizes that the blood of the martyr,
said to be the seed OF the church, is
very slow in termination when COM
pared with the usual span of human
life.

Spokane in a Wanting Mood.

It is said a movement is on foot, and
that too at the suggestion OF Governor
Mead, for holding terms of the State
Supreme Court at Spokane, to save
the expense and trouble of a few
attorneys' travel to the capital, to
represent in person their clients in
cases of appeal. 1t is claimed that
the seven judges are not able to accord
more than half an hour to oral hearing
OF attorneys who travel hundreds OF
miles to present their cases, already
submitted on briefe, which are gener-
ally the true basis of determination OF
all the points made by either side.
Time for oral argument is generally
required by attorneys who have not
been diligent as they might have been
in preparation of the briefs, and hope
they may thus be able to close any
gaps that may be left in their presenta.
ton. Benz. r. Cur.is, one OF the
ablest of American lawyers, who pre-.
sented the dissenting opinion in the

barrister, never occupied more than
twenty minutes in submitting a case
on brief. The reason for Limitation OF
time is stated TO be the congested
state Of business that has apparently
always existed in that branch oil
the judiciary. 1t does seem, however,
that with proper diligence. there never
has existed cause for such delay, nor is
there now with the advancement oil
Statehood, and the increase of the
number of judges to seven. any reason
why they should not be able to trans.
act all appellate business without un-
reasonable delay, while working the

access to the State law library and
official records it appears should ap.
ply with ever.increasing force that
has hitherto assigned all final hearings

tages exist-at the State capital.
