the influence of Senator Dubois at the
national capital:
Whatever sins of omission and

to retire with good record.
at is a matter of moment that the
senate paid high compliment to SEN
ator Dubois, in accepting his Fort Hall
amendment With the exception of this
$35O,000 item, all amendments of a sal
ary nature were stricken from the bill
on points of order, and it is deemed a
decided compliment to Senator Dubois
that his amendment was allowed to
stand"

NINTH SESSION A FAILURE
So Says A Staunch Republican
Newspaper

Nineteen Republican members of the
house of representatives of the Idaho
legislature have broken away from
party ties and have made a coalition
with the Democratic members, says the
Paris Post. Not being on the ground
we are unable to judge whether they are
justified in this move OF not. From
the evidence we are in receipt of, we
believe, that both factions are to blame
for their dilatoriness, and apparent op-
position to carrying out the pledges OF
the party in reform movements and the
recalcitrants are to blame for not
working out the necessary reforms in
side their own party instead of joining
the enemy, and giving them big stick
to use in 1908. From present appear
ances the ninth legislature will go
down in history as useless, worthless
body. The Republicans of the state
elected large majority of the members
of the legislature and a splendid op-
portunity was given them to make a
record in reform measures and thus
perpetuate Republican rule, but they
have signally failed thus far, and
through their unwise acts are making
themselves ridiculous, besides supplying
the Democrats with campaign ammuni-
ton for 1908. Over half the time of
the legislature is already spent, frit-
tered away, and nothing accomplished,
and all the indications are that the bal
ance of the time will be as uselessly
spent If the Republican members fail
to get together and give us some good
legislation during the balance of the
term very few of the present members
will be returned two years from now.

be wrong, nor could it result in any
thing but glorihcation for the saints,
believed the faithful followers.
But the realization of their mistake
has at last dawned upon them, too late,
too late. The once great and mighty
church body stands shorn of its power
in this state. Its representatives sit in
the legislative halls at Boise and won
der what their enemies will do. Power
less to prevent the blow they can see
descending upon them, they simply wait
in dread fear.

as Virginia, Massachusetts and New
New York, absolutely refused to enter
the confederacy unless they were ac-
corded equal representation in the sem
ate. Consequently, as compromise,
each state was granted two senator's in
the national legislature. From this we
now have the anomaly of Nevada with
population of little over forty-two
thousand by the last census, exercising
equal voting power in the United States
senate with the great states of New
York and Pennsylvania with their many
millions of inhabitants.
The constitution set up by the Phila-
delphia convention by its own words in
its preamble declares it is made by the
People of the United States" Yet,
its seventh article, contradicts this, read
ing: "The ratification of the conven-
tions of nine states shall be sufficient for
the establishment of this constitution be-
tween the states so ratifying the same" :"
1t was not till May, 1890, that Rhode
Island, the last original state which came
into the Union, did so by the close vote
of "a to 80.
Under these circumstances it is not
to be wondered at that differences of
opinion arose as to the power of state
to withdraw from connection made as
a sovereign state by another declaration
made in the same way. The power to
unite indicating the power to disunite.
But people advocating such claims for
get that by this very document, the con-
stitution, the states surrendered the vital
powers inherently necessary to inde-
pendent government, such as their right
to declare war, make peace, and sign
treaties and alliances. Notwithstanding
this, many politicians still pretend to re-
gard them as sovereign.
Whenever a United States senator
rises in the council house ofour nation
at Washington and solemnly proclaims !:

is abosurd upon its face Let any one
of the so-cailed sovereign states dare
to use the powers or prerogatives that
accompany sovereignty, such as declar
ing war, making peace, entering into
treaties with foreign powers or alliances
with the same, and see how quickly the
sovereign state would be whacked out
of its arrogance and put into its place
by the general government assisted by
the other commonwealths.
Such claims of state sovereignty were
set up by the states forming the south
ern confederacy They declared they
had the right to secede from the Union,
which carried with it all other rights
of an independent nation. They made
treaties and alliances one with the other
against the general government and in
support of this dogma they threw down
the gage of battle. This doctrine was
combated by the more general and pow
erful one that no government can submit
to its own disruption and no country
can permit its own destruction; the gen
eral law of self-preservation applying
as strongly to states as it does to in
dividuals

tai congress used its power regardless
of the colonial legislatures and at that
time might have easily established and
maintained a central government with
universal authority.
But it neglected to do soY
After Burgoyne's surrender, as the
success of the Revolution became grad
ually more certain, the continental con-
gress carelessly permitted its powers to
be assumed by the colonial legislatures,
some of these going so far even as to
recall their representatives to the con-
tinental congress and sending others in
their places. So the powers of the
various states gradually increased, until
after the evacuation of this country by
the British, each commonwealth made
entirely its own local laws, issued its own
state currency, and all of them practi-
cally ignored the continental congress,
even neglecting in some cases to send
delegations to the same.
AS each state was anxious to obtain
all the territory and power possible,
some of them adopted systems of pro-
lection for their own domestic nanufac-
lures to curtail those of their sister
states. To such lengths did they carry
their selfish legislation as to the extend
ing of their boundaries, that some of
them nearly came to open war with their
neighbors; the Tennessee settlers fight
ing against the dominion of North Car
olina and the Kentuckians resisting the
authority of Virginia. Everywhere
symptoms of the dissolution of the I'm
ion were evident. For six months there
was no national congress. The French
minister reported to his king that there
was no general government in America.
Poverty, dissension and rebellion stalked
about the land.
In this state of political confusion, it
was found necessary in order to per-
petuate the national life that had just
been given to the American colonies by
seven years of bloody war and the glo-
rious revolution, that some homogene-
Gus form of federal government should
be designed and placed in power, and
for this purpose constitutional con-
vention was called, which met in the
old state house in Philadelphia George
Washington was the president of the
names of nearly all the great men of
that time-the two Adamses, Jefferson,
Monroe, Edmund Randolph of Virginia
and the Pinckneys of South Carolina.
Even with these leveIheaded, patriotic
men in the convention there was for a
long time great doubt as to the success
full formation of constitution.
In addition, there is no doubt that the
various commonwealths whose delegates
met in Philadelphia, did not enter into
anion, but simply framed what is now
known as the constitution of the United
States Many of the states acted as SOW
ereign nations throughout this eonven-
ton and were SO regarded, not only by
their own delegates but by the delegates
of the other states; it was only by their
own voluntary action afterwards, in
adopting the instrument that the states
made themselves component parts of the
great Union.
In fact, Rhode Island, New Jersey
and other smaller states who had no
hopes of obtaining equal population to
some of the larger commonwealth, such

What Has Been Learned

SHOULD this be the case, there is at least ad-
vantage that will rest for long time with u.s. Uiz
already well on the way to apply the results
and bring the spirit of child study into both the
home and the school. We have learned to respect
the naivet6 of children to consult their spontaneous
interests and have learned that their fundamental
nature and instincts cannot be transformed, and
that we must adapt and adjust the subject matter
and methods of instruction, modes of discipline
and regimen, to their nature and needs. To this
insight, academic institutions predlspose us.
We have learned that childrens 1ntutlons and in
terests truer guide than tatters of and
the blind momenta of convention and tradition.
In the contributions which child study has made
and is about to make to the welfare of the future Of
humanity | believe it is no extravaganza to say
that in the judgment of the future historian it will
compare with the Renaissance or the Reformation.
The literature for well on childhood is being
reconstructed, and those who coming really
to understand the child that is set in midst,
and who have realized that to have ministered to
the rising generation is the highest service we can
render humanity, themselves rejuvenated and
growing young again against the tide of years by
finding that life has zest.
