Lawyers IndOrse Proposed COnsti-

The Kootenai County Bar associa-

ed a committee OF three to draft res
olutions favOring the adoption OF a
constitutional amendment that has
for its purpose the abolIshment OF

In its place and instead OF the present
dictrlct court, county courts.
The proposed amendment was pass
ed at the last regular legislature. and
will be submitted TO the voters for
affirmation or rejection at the cleo
ton this fall. II in substance pro-
vides for abolIshing the present dis
trict court which now has jnrisdic-
tion Of and disposes OF the business
of from two to three counties, and
purposes to substitute for il a dis
trict court for each county. II fur

vision for a county that has less

another county that has that number
or more has no application TO any OF
the northern counties as each Is in
excess Of that number, and would
therefore be entitled to one Judge.
The amendment Is meeting with
universal favor. not only among the
legal fraternity, but also among the
citizens OF the state. The litigation
under the present system Is longest

trlct court calanders there are cases
that date as far back as four and
FIVE years that have not been disp0s-

court by reason Of the heavy lltiga-
ton to reach them. This operates
not only as a source OF annoyanes

military career, he retired to his

fayette: II have become private
citizen on the banks of the Potomac,
and under the shadow of my own vine
and fig tree. free from the hustle Of
the camp, am solacing myself
with those tranquil enjoyments of
which the soldier who is ever in pur-

quoted words to Lafayette he had no

tory. she says, the women whose influ-

their beauty. When they possessed
beauty 1t was but one Of their charms.

Many Of the most fascinating women

have inspired great loves and helped
mold the destiny Of nations-were de-
void of actual beauty. But they pos

College Songs.

For college men the songs peculiar
to their alma mater will always have
. special charm and significance. They
are sung joyously during the four years
Of college life. and are recalled with
tenderness during all the years of
after life. When so much of the col
lego spirit lies In the songs and IL 80
constantly fostered by them. 1t Is
strange that the songs themselves
should SO rarely possess real beauty Of
composition or dignity Of sentiment.
To be sure. Princeton has her "Old
Nassau" and the great university Of
Cambridge has Fair Harvard" and
some other colleges have songs not
unworthy to be passed on from class
to class. Nevertheless. most Of the
undergraduate lung power is used up
in the "Ffll-'em-up-again-John" or the
n-with-Somebody" class of mu.
sic. It was perception Of this fact
that led Yale alumnus to offer
prize Of $50 few years ago for a
really worthy Yale song. This offer
having failed to produce the desired
result. the prize was increased to
5000. 1t has now been awarded for a
dignified. serious and. to coin word.
matrfotic song, the theme OF which is
recognition of the aims and achieve
ments of the university. The incident
ought to be suggestive to other men Of

their university, declares the Youths
Companion, and still more suggestive
to college students everywhere who
have the gift of song-writing. A COL
lege boy would deserve we'll of his
classmates and of all who come after
him If he should succeed In producing
. song which should become identified
with the college life. 1t is much
