The People Should Govern.

Recognizing it as good Democratic
doctrine, We do not hesitate to quote
the following extract taken from a
correspondent of Law Notes on the
"Theory of Judicial Appointments:
To THE EDITOR OF LAW NoTEs:
Sir: l have just read the observa-
tons on Judicial Appointments in Lao
Notes: am surprised that any Ameri-
can citizen should favor this autocratic
mode. 1t proceeds upon the assumption
that every tyrant has acted from the
first. 1t has no compatibility nor place
in republic. The viciousness follows
it, wherever it is acted on. that made it
30 Odious in the past. 1t is arepudia-
ton OF the principle of self-government.
Ii the people are not competent to select
their judiciary, they are not competent
to select any other officers. l do not
want to 60 into q historical account of
this practice in our country, and the
satisfaction or dissatisfaction it has
given and its baleful inf uence. 1t is
enough that it is not Republicanism,
nor consistent with Republican princi-
pies. Wherever it is found, it is an
irritant and cancerous excrescence on
the political fabric. And there is not an
argument in its favor that our forefathers
did not repudiate and that we have not
the same reasons for repudiating. Re.
publican government is reputation Of
them all.
Thomas Jefferson maintained that
the Federal appointive judiciary would
become the most arbitrary feature OF
our Government. The apparent dan.
ger to our institutions is Capitalization
OF autocrstic power. Whenever at
tempts are made through legislation
TO correct corporate greed. resort is
had to the Federal courts. The
judges are lodged in Office for life,
generally selected from corporation
lawyers, who 60 upon the bench with
the idea impressed upon their minds,
that corporations are terribly abused
creatures, that the highest function
of the judiciary is to protect these
"innocents" from the rapacity Of the
people. Another point should be kept
in mind, the corporations employ
most of the time Of these judges, but
do not contribute to their support.
This burden must rest upon the PEG.
pie. If we are going to have q demo.
cratic form OF government, let Us quit
injecting monarchisl elements into it.
If there ever was an occasion for re.
currence to fundamental principles oil
self-government that time is at hand.

ANOTHER STEAMER SUNK.-The river
steamer Lurline was sunk in the Co.
lumbia, off Rainier, ON Wednesday
night OF last week, being rammed
amidships by the ocean steamship
Cascades, from San Franciaco. The
Lurline sank before she could be
beached. No lives were lost, all pas.
sengers being taken aboard the Cas-.
cades. A dense fog prevailed when
both boats were blowing their whistles
at intervsls, and the disaster occurred
from Misunderstanding of positions
while the larger vessel was going in to
Rainier, to tie up, while the Lurline
was swinging out.

Railroad Commission Humbug
Federal Judge Hsnford, in the c.

Federal Judge Hsnford, in the case
Of the o. r. & n, Great Northern and
N. ?. Railroad companies, against the
State Railway Commission, has thrust
the latter body in a vital part. These
companies filed a bill in equity (by
way of parenthesis it must be under.
stood that the term" equity" should
be emphasized in this connec,ion)
allege that this law is void, because,
LIST, it discriminates sgainst steam
railways and interurban electric lines
operating in this State; %, its rates
interfere with interstate commerce
between shippers, exclusively within
this State, and where the same ship
pers may desire to transport their
commodities to Portland, or to some
other point without the State, and Sd,
the law is in violation of the State
Constitution in that it delegates to the
Commission rate.making powers.
The Attorney General and associate
counsel demurred to the bill. Last
Monday, Judge Hanford, at Seattle,
presiding in the U. S. Circuit Court
for the district OF Wash ington, over
ruled the demurrer and sustained the
contentious of the railroad companies,
on the two first grounds noted. On
the third point, the court said the
power of the Commission to fix rates
within the State, under its constitu-
ton, is not case Of Federal law, but
is a matter of local polity, with which
the State courts must deal.
If this decision stands, it is calcu-
lated to make any law which the legis.
lature can enact on the subject abor.
tive. Giving the Commission power
to fix rates, and then asserting they
have no force, would seem absurd.
That the legislature made a grave
error in passing the law, expanding
much money of taxpayers, creating
expensive salaries, high-priced clerks,
experts at 81 900 per month, are all OF
no avail, and may be seen to be a
farce when the final act comes on.
Under law of this kind, the people
want immediate relief. They have
reason to expect something in return
for their money; but when they ask
for bread, get q heavy rock hurled at
their vitals.
If this ruling is to be reviewed by
the United States Supreme Court, it
will probably take two years to obtain
. final decision, with a probability OF
an adverse determination. The ship.
pers are up against it hard, notwith.
standing what oily-tongued officials
may assert in order to keep fat jobs
and delude the shippers.
It is to be hoped that at the next
session OF the legislature, some men,
Der of that body may have the man.
hood and courage to explain the situa-
ton in its true light. The people.
one OF these days, will wake up, and
there will be something doing and OF
interest to the politicians who have
so long deceived them. The time may
be nearer at hand than many persons
imagine.

for bleaching or dyeing. The plant i.
said to be hardy, can be grown on any

Denied by the Governor.

In this issue of the STANDARD we
copy from the Seattle Times an arti-
Gle purporting to detail plan devised
10y Gov. Mead for removal Of the State
capital from this city to Tacoma.
This being a matter Of so much inter.
est and local Importance to our read
ers, we at once went to headquarters
to ascertain how much truth, if any,
was contained in the alleged "Plot."
OF which our State executive is named
as the main instigstor and chief pro-
moter.
The Governor met the scribe with
cordiality and readily consented to an
swer the queries propounded although
he said that he had almost made up
his mind to refuse any reply to the
many misstatements and falsehoods
circulated regarding his views and Of
fetal acts.
The Governor very emphatically
denied that there WAS any intent,
much less plot, to disturb the seat OF
State government; that he still held
to the same views that constituted the
basis Of his veto of the bill passed by
the last Legislature to again submit
the matter of permanent location to
the people; that his objection was
based upon the cost involved in such
change, even should the anticipated
vote be favorable. He admitted that
he bad favored holding occasional
sessions of the Supreme Court At
Spokane, to accommodate litigants of
widely separated portions of the State,
and he had precedent for that course
in some other States, but that it was
not proposed to move the State law
library; that duplicate copies of re.
ports from other States can generally
be obtained by reciprocal exchange.
The suggestion was to hold terms oil

the State library to Spokane as has
been stated by the Times. Then again
he had favored placing the Office of
the Board of Control at the Hospital
for the Insane merely to afford more
room in the State Capitol. at times
when the Legislature was in session.
and he admitted fitting up the base
ment, to relieve the crowded condition
OF the State. house for Office room, and
afford place of deposit for the rapidly
increasing library and other records,
