Constitution is Self Executing.

In the case of Dudley D. Toncray against Judge
Alfred Bulge, of the fifth Judicial District of Idaho
the Supreme Court of the state rendered decision
on Tuesday of this week. The action involved pri-
marily merely question of jurisdiction, the COM
plant alleging that Judge Bulge holding the
elective office of Judge of the Fifth District in viola
ton of provision of the constitution prohibiting
po1ygamists teachers of poygamy from holding
office or voting Judge Stevens, of the Sixth Dis
trict before whom the action brought to dsqua1
ify Judge Bulge, held that he had no jurisdiction
and appeal taken to the Supreme Court of
the state. In its opinion, the Supreme court afrms
the ruling of the court below. The court below is
therefore without jurisdictions
Although it not matter at issue in the case,
the court was asked to consider and rule upon the
self-executing quality of that portion of the state
constitution known the test oath, the oath which
would, if applied, disfranchise every person who
practices or teaches poygamy and render them inei-
gible to official positions 1t upon this conten-
ton that the action brought to Gust Judge
Bulge, he being a member of the Mormon church.
Upon that point the court says:
In the first place, it is urged by appellant and adj
mitted by respondent that section of article of
the constitution is self-operative and sef-acting and
needs legislation to carry its provisions into effect
Indeed this court has on several occasions held other
and similar negative and prohibltory provisions OF
the constitution self-executing
1t requires argument nor citation of authority
to establish the proposition a well founded legal
conclusion that no one can exercise the elective fran
chise, serve on jury hold office who comes with
in the inhibitions of section of the Suffrage and
Elections article of the constitution In such case
the only inquiry to be made is: Does the defend
ant come within the constitutional enumeration of
prohibited persons classes charged in the COM
plant?
Following close upon the adoption of the constitu-
ton by popular vote, the Supreme Court of the
United States in Davis Beason, sustained and
affirmed the power of territory state to place

New York. July 29.-The killing Of fish
by the pollution of waters in which they
feed and spawn has become matter
for international consideration This IS
the opinion of Dr. David Starr Jordan,

Of America, who is a member of the in
tornational fisheries commission This
body consisting of American ami
Canadian eNp,Ats was created in accord
tween the United states and Great
Britain, and Is engaged In the task OF
framing statutes which shall protect the
fish in international waters such as those
of Lake Champlain. the St. Lawrence
river and the Great Lakes. When these
statutes have been adopted they will be
enforced by the general governments OF
the treatymaking powers, In letter
to Edward Hatch. Jr,, OF New York, DIR,
Jordan says:
1T seems to me tnat the pollution
Of international waters is a matter
which our commission must take very
seriously We shall provide adequate
means for enforcing whatever stat
utes are adopted. Tho New York
statute seems to cover the ground very
well. but | am told II is not enforced

Says He Is Not Satisfied with the
Work of the Chicago Con-

AFRAID OF REAL REFORMS

t1ons between Now ana Sept. l.
VIII speak nt Central Points
until Octoher-Iteady to
Begin Speech.

Lincoln. Neh., July % 2a-Charging that
William n. Taft is not satisfied with
the work of the Chicago convention
which nominated him as the republican
candidate for the presdency." and that
"he is deeply impressed with the work Of
the democratic convention" William j
Bryan to-day issued statement in which
he expresses the opinion that Mr.. Taft
fears the uprising which republican
abuses have caused and yet hesitates to
adopt his real and substantial reforms"
The statement was called forth because
nj the allegation made by Taft in his
s7ccch of acceptance at Cincinnati yes
terdav that Mr.. Bryan was a destroyer
of business. IN regard to the speech Mr.
Bryan said: II read It. and shall discuss
it | deal with the various subjects
upon which It treats. For instance. in a
speech at Topeka between now and the
first Of September l shall discuss the
guaranty Of banks and contrast Mr.
Taft's position with the democratic posi-
t!on. IN my Labor day speech at Chicago
on September T. shall discuss his atti
tude on the labor question In other
speeches. shall discuss his attitude on
the tariff question the trust question and
other questions on which he mas ex-
pressed himself
The most noticeable feature of his
speech is his attempt 10 amend the re-
publican platform by engraf:ing on 1t
some Of the planks of the democratic
platform. He is evidently not satisfied
with the work Of his convention and s
deeply impressed by The work of the
democratic convention. He Is uncharit-
