Will the Republican rule against two terms in the office of Governor apply to Lieut.. Gov. Weeks? If so, it les sens the number of aspirants for next year. Or is the close scrutiny of the Constitution, with the resulting dis covery that Mir. Weeks is not the Gov ernor but only the Acting Governor g designed to clearst the way for his nom- ination next year-that is, to evade the rule.
 Whatever, the purpose, it appears to be the fact that while MT. Weeks is the Governor in powers, he is not by title, and while there may be some questions as to salary, it is a fact, we believe. that the courts have always held that the performer of specified duties is entitled to the regular salary k thereto attached.

The agreement said to have been reached by the coal operators and own ,esr is evidently a compromise of differ ences. What was especially desired by
 the miners was a full recognition of their union. This is partly granted that is, the operators are to recognize district presidents as representing the men. On the other hand, the miners accept three years, instead of one, as the term of the contract. It is gratify- ing to know that neither strike nor lockout will occur, and that mining will now proceed as usual. Probab- ly the miners would have had better success, had the operators not been prepared for trouble with years sup ply on the surface. .e=-

rAlFr, AND PANAs1AsuANsAL.

Preaident Taft is the A4 thor of an nstrkctive article on the atiAma Ca nal. which appears in the Mcclure ma xine for May. It is devoted prin- e3oaIly to the controversy over the rel ix6smerits of the sea level and lock systexns, the latter. of which was ap- proveds by President Roosevelt and Eongress two years ago and is now in proceae of construction The original nek3mate of cost was $13e, ,7O5. 200, ex- clua1ve- of the $50000, 900 paid for the eanal and the sanitation, zone govern ment, etc; at present, the estimated sost is, exclusive of the same items, 1z17. .7ef, 900, or total of about .$375, ,000.- : z,oo. This increase in cost is due to un- 1eresflmates in excavation, widening, nnnnticipated rocks and changes in the locefion of dams on the Pacific coast, ffha latter intended to lessen the dan- fSr to them from possible enemies.
 According to President Taft who re- risSvs .the matter thoroughly and with svidsnt impartiality, the cost of a sea i&vel canal would be at least $2oo 00o.- ID more than that of the lock system. inc date of completion would be five rears later, and the canal would, on sceount Of greater curvatures. be both 9fd1cult and dangerous of navigation. ae strongly favors the lock canal and predicts it's completion on or before Ian 1. 1915. With regard to the much 7fscussed Gatun dam. thetI Rpesident sonsiders it absolutely safe.
 It would, not be surprising of the 'President's article should effect a ces- sation of the controversy and of the attempt to bring the matter again be- Tore Congress. As that body decided Inc question two years ago, as much zroeress upon the lock system has al
 been made and as a.,change te Ehe sea level plan would both delay and prolons the work, it iss to b. hoped that the agitation will cease. The canal is greatly needed particularly would it be useful in case of trouble with Japan. which is apprehended by many close observers of internationa anairs

NEW. INTERPRETATION oFea
 AUToMORILE LAW

New Haven Is taking the. lead in en- ;orcement of the automobile law. Judge Matthewson sentenced on Tuesday a ehauneur to 30 days in jail for reck- {eas driving and in the decision gave This iuterpretatfon of the speed section pf the law: up to a speed of 25 miles an hour the state must prove it is dan ferous. but above that speed the bur Hsn Of proof shifts to the defense, and 1t must show that travelling at that speed is not dangerous"
 It seems to be more easy to prove lhat speed of 25 miles an hour is dan eerous than that a speed above 25 miles iD not dangerous Most disinter- Bsted witnesses would testify to the danger of 25 miles an hour, while the autofsts who undertake to prove that higher speed is not dangerous. would be compelled to show a comparatively wide street. absence of car tracks, ap- proximate lack of other uehicular traf- uc, few or no crossings of large use, and perhaps other points. Such bur den of proof approaches the impossible If accomplishment.
 Under Judge Matthewson's interpre- ka&ion of the law, if enforced, the auto upeeder would practically be abolished, and even the moderate driver would be compelled to exercise even more than his usual care. This is one of the pen aIties which the latter is compelled to confront for the excesses of the former
 Another New Haven decision, this time in the Superior Court, imposes . jai1 sentence of ten months upon the driver of the auto which struck and killed Rev. Dr. Morgan of that city. we Infer that the court found some de- gree of contributory negligence on the part of the deceased, or it would have found a higher crime than manslaugh- ter and imposed a more severe penal ty. It is but just to say that usually ln case of casualties, there is some de Rree of contributory negligence on the part of the victims; they do not al- ways, in alighting from a car or on leaving the curb, exercise proper care.
 Indications are that wave of law Enforcement has struck the State and that the way of the speeder is to be hard.

Exceptionally large sales of bonds Rre reported from Wall street.

SHE GAVE AWAY

COEUR D'ALENE, Aug. Sit
tie Miss Helen Hamilton, age IL,
was the proudest little miss in the
Inland Empire today. Her motions
were waited for by 100000 people
from all parts of the nation, for the
choice she made from the huge pile
of envelopes on the platform decid-
ed who should have farms in the
Occur d'Alene reservation.
When Miss Hamilton was intro
duced she was given an ovation by
the large crowd. When the vol
ume of cheers and applause had
died the superintendent directed
her to pick an envelope and without
hesitation or embarrassment she
stopped forward and picked one up
and handed it to the superintend-
ent, who announced the name to
the crowd. This was the signal for
more cheering and applause and af-
ter 1t subsidized the work Of opening
the applications was resumed.
