The latest yet has been brought
forward by DR.. Beaver in the
shape of a dinner party for 125
surgeons from whom he had re-
moved the appendix. Never
before has history recorded the
meeting together of so many ap-
pendixless. With them were
twenty-five more physicians
whom DR.. Dever had carved in
other ways. He rightfully and
proudly wears the "belt" for
performing the greatest number
of operations in this particular
line. The appendix has been
the doctors hobby" which he
rode untirelingly, and so physi-
clans from all parts Of the coun-
try minus their appendix, met to
do him honor.

Terrific demands are being
made on the present legislature
for appropriations and if all
were to be granted the aggre-
gate would be over $40, 900, 600,
which is about twice as much as
the estimated revenues of the
state for the preceding two
years. The worst thing about
the situation is that the persons
representing these different in
terests and institutions invari-
ably club together and then hold
a mighty club over the law
makers. But the legislature
should resist their demands and
go slow, for the people of this
state are already overburdened
with taxes. Yakima Democrat.

There seems to be good deal
of picket firing and maneuvering
behind the scenes at Olympia,
but the legislature has not yet
gotten down to any real work;
that will come, if it comes at all,
in the last couple of weeks.
There is vast amount of prelim-
mary diminishing that must pre-
coed any actual work at any ses-
sion, and what the present body
is likely to accomplish before it
quits, would be the merest guess
at this stage of the game. Lin

splendid jurist, Judge Marshall,
of the the Supreme Court OF
Wisconsin, in the case of Bon
nett v. Waller, 116 N. w. 1856,
where it was held that tene-
ment law, in the nature of pol
ice regulation in the interest OF
the public health, which made
every habitation regardless OF
locality, a boarding house, IN
case the proprietor allows a per-
son not a member of his fsmlly
to have sleeping room in the
house, and regulates the main
tenance of the house as regards
light, location of beds, equip
ment with water closets, etc., IS
an unreasonable interference.
The court said: 'There must
be reasonable ground for police
interference and also the means
adopted must be reasonably
necessary for the accomplish
ment of the purpose in view.
So in all cases where the inter
ference affects property and
goes beyond what is reasonable
by way of interfering with prl-
vate rights, it offends against
the general equality clause OF
the constitution, it otfends
against the spirit of the whole
instrument; it offends against
the prohibitions against taking
property without due process OF
law, and against taking private
property for public use without
first rendering just compensa-
ton therefor. In the ultimate,
the scope of the term as regards
any situation must be measured
having regard to the fundament-
al principles of human liberty,
as they were. understood at the
time of the formation of the con-
stitution and were intended to
be impregnably entrenched
thereby, adapting the same, OF
course, to our modern condl-
tions, Those principles have
not changed in the years that
have elapsed since the constitu-
ton was formed. They are UNI
changeable and are of no less
but rather of greater import
ance than they were when the
trainers of the constitution at
tempted so carefully to guard
them.

Stevenson's senate bill, provid-
ing for the submission of a con-
stitutional amendment for the
taxation of moneys and credits,
should pass and become a part
of the state constitution. AS re-

times before, there is no justice
in taxing the poor rancher for
his COWS and chickens and not
the wealthy mans money and

There has been quite a discus
sion among military officials as
to what reforms should be insti-
tuted to increase the enlisted
strength of the army and navy.
1t is the consencious of opinion
that the best soldiers are those
who seek army life as their occu-
patton on account Of the induce
ments offered. Then in order to
make army life as desirable as
possible, various writers have
pointed out reasons which tend
to render it unattractive.s
The following, (the best group
of suggested reasons), gives a
good idea where reform work
might begin:
4 insufficient pay.
Unsatisfactory ration.
The adjustment of the can
teen.
Too much work of a non mill
tary nature.
Too long service before retire
ment.
Unnecessary practice marches
(infantry and cavalry and ex-
cessive ordnance fatigue in the
coast artillery.
Lack of quarters for families
of enlisted men other than nom
commissioned staff officers.
Excessive guard duty.
Lack of respect for the uni
form,
Frequent changes in company
officers, especially captains.
Lack of bands at many posts.
Absence of the guarantee OF
civil service appointment after
long and faithful service.
Non-existence of the grade and
warrant officer.
Tax for the maintenance Of
the Soldiers Home.

LEES CHAPEL PROSPEROUS

The A. M. E. Church held its
second quarterly conference of
this year, on Monday evening,
January 18th, 1909, which was
remarkable from three stand
points: First, the spiritual revi-
val of the Church in all depart
ments. Second, the Christian
spirit of peace and harmony
which prevails between the Past
or and oficiary of the Church.
Third. the completeness of the
reports of every department of
the Church, their increase in at
tendance and improvement
financially, which indicates a
healthy growth in the past, with
brilliant prospects for the
future.
The Pastor, Rev. w. T. Os-
borne, merits the confidence of
his congregation for he is preac h
ing the gospel in it's purity and
has done nothing without the
advice and approval of the
church oficiary. The following

The Question of Reasonable
ness in Determining What
Is A Proper Exercise
Of The Police Power.

ed upon the lack of concern with
which some courts were regard
ing the most evident encroach-
ments upon private rights having
no conceivable justification under
what is known as the police
power.
But the legislative discreation
is not finally determined by this
fact. 1t does not settle the ques-
ton of the constitutionality of
any proposed legislation to say
that it oversteps the bounds set
by some constitutional limitation.
Thus, it is universal constitu-
tional restriction that no person
shall be deprived of his liberty
without the judgment of his
peers. But everywhere it is pos
sible on the report of a physician
to seize a man with smallpox
and confne him in quarantine
with absolutely no process of law
whatever, and to whose involun-
tary confinement, the writ of
hebeas corpus is an unavailable
remedy.
The next question to be deter
mined, therefore, is whether
this proposed regulation of the
private enjoyment of life, liberty
or property, contrary to the
strict terms of the constitution
is justified by that universal
principle of collective self preser-
walton, known as the police pow
err. For, we apprehend there is
no occasion to justify any law
under the police power until it
begins to overstep express con-
stitutional restrictions.
In order to justify strictly I'M
constitutional legislation under
the police power, it must meet
either one of three great public
emergencies, to-wit, the public
health, the public morals and the
public safety. What is more
than these, cometh of the evil
one," although some courts had
added other considerations, not
emergencies in any sense of the
term, with the evident intention
of releasing the legislature from
all constitutional restrictions, so
far at least, as the regulation
of private conduct is concerned.
But having justified an act
under the police power, the in
curry as to the power of the
legislature to enact it is not con-
cluded until it is determined
whether the method provided by
the act to meet the emergency
thus justified by the police pow
err is reasonable.
Thus. for instance, it is uncon
stitutional to destroy a mans
house without condemnation
and jast compensation. Never
theless, a police ordinance may
provide for the destruction of
such adjoining property as to
prevent the spread of fire, as
such an act is in interest of the
general safety of the public.
But suppose the act should JEST
fly the wholesale destruction of
property within several blocks
of such fire, such an act would
be clearly unreasonable. Here
the question is not one of eXpedi-
ency, but of reasonableness, to-
wit: Does the act go further
than necessary to meet the en-
Urgency, or does it sacrifice pri-
vate rights in value out of all
proportion to the public betifit
to be derived.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 1S.-Ab-
sence Of some state witnesses and a
desire on the part of the defense to
arrange it's plan of procedure caused
an adjournment today until Saturday
in the trial of the Coopers and John
Sharpe, charged with numbering For
mer Senator E. w. Carmack.
The state has satisfied itself with
offering testimony to prove that Sen.
ator Carmack was murdered at Nash
vile by Robin ]. and Duncan r
Cooper, and that John Sharpe, when
he heard the shots knew what they
were without looking around, and that
prior to the killing several confer
ences were held. This the state con
tends, is the foundation for proof o1
conspiracy.
The state stopped here and waits
for the defense to offer its case. At
torney General McCaren has subpoe
naed 81 witnesses and has useC
scarcely a score. The others will b;
held in reserve for rebuttal. The de
fense has not issued a summons, bu
say they will be present without is
suing court proceedings. By not is
suing subpoenas it has prevented tn
state from knowing the names of tn
, witnesses for the defense.

NOTHING WRONG IN
SALE OF STATE LAND
LUMBER COMPANIES PAID MORE
THAN USUAL PRICE.
Especial to The Gazette.)

HELENA, Mont, Feb. 1S.-With the
adducing of the testimony of State
Land Agent Henry Neill and Former
Governor Joseph X. Toole, the legis-
lative land inquiry case came to a
close today. Both denied any imputa-
ton of dishonesty in connection with
the sale of the $4,000 acres of state
lands to the Flathead county lumber
companies and showed that the state
received an amount in excess of the
offer of the companies which was also
higher than private sales of such
tracts. That the members of the board
will be exonerated cannot be gain
said, but there is some question as to
whether or not the legislative commit
tee will recommend the re-transfer OF
the lands to the state. It's report will
not be submitted to the legislature for
several days.
