when the department of commerce

Gutierrez DeLara, Mexican

over to the Mexican government
to be assassinated. DeLara had
exposed the awful crimes of the
Mexican government in farming

is mistake in a self-governing
democracy to vest a court with
power to declare a law enacted
by the legislature void. With re-
spect to what constitutes good
law the legislature itself as repre-
senting the will of the people,
should be supreme. The law
making body should not be SUBJ
ordinated to a court. No other
federal government. Australia
alone excepted, has given the
courts this dangerous authority.
Neither Canada, Switzerland, nor
federal Germany have done so.
For more than two hundred years
the English courts have been in
competent to declare parliamen
tary statute void. The parlia-
ment is higher than the court.
Moreover, the tenure of the Eng
lish judges is dependent on the
will of the two houses of parlia-
ment. which may remove judge
on joint address to the executive.
that is in reality, to the prime
minister, who always represents
the will of the house of commons.

our courts could determine the
validity of either state law or
of a federal law until the days of
Chief Justice Marshall. 1t may
be that the makers of the constI-

conceivable that, with a d fferent

never have established it by pre-

The PRESS looks on at the pea
nut acts o. some of the Democratic
state officeholders with a good
deal of pleasure. and acknowledge
with most of the people that they
are a unch of misfits whom the
Democratic party never had any
thought of electing to Office or
they would have been more care
full in the selection of their
candidates. The latest outburst
comes from Roady kenehan, state
auditor, who announces he will
not pay the salary of Governor
Shaforth while the latter was off
on a trip do IN the Mississippi
with President Taft at the special
invitation of the latter. Such an
attitude is he rankest example Of
assininity. Roady feels his oats
and wishing TO keep in the lime
light has an idea that he is the
special guardian of the whole peo.
ple-and we guess he is, tspeci-
ally that part of the people rep
resented by the Democratic party
-Montrose Press.
There is always something
amusing in an article written by
man utterly ignorant of his sub
ject. Now the fact is that the
law governing the payment oi
the salary of the governor is
specific that he forfeits the same
during his absence from the Office,
or rather state. The auditor has
no power to legislate. He may
only obey the law. OF course
certain republican auditors have
seen fit to disobey it in this par
ticular. A republican generally
gratis if he can possibly find an
opportunity. But the present
auditor seems to be inclined to
be honest and at once every gang
editor in fhe state hurls missil
in his direction. But very little
money will get away from the
state during Rhody Kenehan's
administration in an irregular
manner. He is old fashioned, a
blacksmith by trade, and a hard
headed man who believes the
laws were made to be obeyed. He
despises petty graft, hence his
effort to make few ex-republi
cans dig up their stealings. Tie
Press should support him because
he is honest, but Adams is not
built that way. His best friends

AN ASTONISHING DISCLOSURE.

ldl.-lt was ulSCONCiCo ySotSiooy y
that the electric trust has made
a specific offer of 100000 to
advance the Taft campaign pro-
vided the government would
cease furthur investigation of the
General Electrical company.
President Roosevelt Indignantly
refused the bribe; yet the investi-
cation was stopped. and the de-
partment are all agog to learn
how and why.
The following startling facts
are shown by the records OF the
department of justice:
The bribery attempt was made
practically in this form:
/. If the trust busting" inves-
tigation of the electrical interests
of the country were stopped
81 100000 would be contributed
to the Republican national cam
paign fund, and in addition Taft's
candidacy would be given the
earnest and hearty support of
this vast industrial interest, with
its powerful ramihcations into the
commercial and electric railway
circles.
2. 1t was suggested that if the
government did not comply with
the terms of this generous offer,
made in the spirit of party loyalty,
it might be necessary for the
electric interests, purely in self
defense. to support the Bryan
candidacy. Thus through money
and sympathy attempting to take
from the Republican presidential
ticket the electoral vote of a num-
Der of states necessary to insure
Mr.. Taft's election.
In plain black and white are
shown the offer and the official
rejection. Theodore Roosevelt's
letter to the then Attorney Gen
eral Bonaparte. in replying to
the notification of the bribe offer.
was as follows (the blanks repre-
sent the name, which is not yet
made public. but is in the fles):
Dear Bonaparte: want to
congratulate you on the admir-
able stand you have taken in this
matter. If the electric interests
are not joined in an illegal combi
nation-if there is not a conspir-
acy between the General Electric
and Westinghouse people, which
has enlisted the strong support of
the telephone and telegraph in
teresis and the sheet railway in
tercsts why need there be alarm
over a private investigation?
at shall go to the bottom.
There must be no deviation. If
some of my good party friends
should be embarrassed, it surely
will be no faut of ours. Really.
there seems 10 be no end to the
influences which are being oper-
ated in this case.
What a scoundrel-must be
to try open bribery. And how
refreshing it is to know that there
is so much money at hand by
PROSTATE industries, which might
be put to proper use in an honest
way.
"If"comes to you again. ]
shall be really delighted TO have
you tell him straight from me

SCHOOL DISTRICTS
ARE TOO SMALL
State Superintendent Proposes Or
ganization Of Districts to Give
Rural District Graded Schools

Guthrie, Okla, Jan. 2S-That the aver
age school district in old Oklahoma is not
large enough and in the organization Of

districts larger and consolidating others
with view Of establishing graded schools
and furnishing some method Of transpor-
tation 50 and from the graded schools is
the position taken by State Superinten-
dent +. d. Cameron
In his annual report this interesting
feature is thus disposed of
"It is the opinion Of this department
that experience has shown that the aver
age school districts in that part of the
state formerly known as Oklahoma terri
tory is too small for the best school work.
In districts Of the resent size it is i'm
possible to Grade tie schools, and for that
reason our citizens who live on the farm
and have to educate their children main
~ in the common district schools are de-
MED the privledee Of educating their
children IN any kind Of high school The
people Of the country are entitled 70 high
school facilities, just as much as the peo-
pie Of the cities. if these facilities can
possibly be secured To try TO meet this
demand We have laidod much longer dis
tricts in the new counties in that portion
Of the state formerly known as the Indian
Territory and will organize graded schools
in all these districts where il can possibly
be done.
"In some of these districts we will put
into operation the plan Of conveying the
children 10 and from the school every day
We favor this plan Of large districts grad
ed schools and conveying the children to
aud from school every day
If an average Of four districts would
unite in this way TO run one school, our
state would soon be filed with rural dis
trict school doing good work IN the higher
grades. and our district schools would be
as good as any in the world We deYout-
ly hope to see this condition brought
about. which can easily be done under
the law as amended by the last legisla-
ture.
