just the touch of tenderness
necessary to both.
Ernest A. Boehmer, the &C.

BURKE WRITES
OPEN LETTER
Declares the Appointment Of Pur.

Bismsrck, N. D., Feb. 10.
Especial to the News.) There
having been considerable die
cussion in the state press over
the legality of the appointment
of Senator Purcell to be United
Styles senator, Governor Burke
as Issued the following open
letter to the people of the state.
Bismarck, Feb. 9, 1910.
To the Public: Under date
of February 5th, the Fargo
Forum, a newspaper published
IN the city Of Fargo in this
state, published an article
headed did Burke Violate
Oaths?" In this article it boldly
charged the governor with hav.
ing appointed d. H. Macarthur
warden of the penitentiary in
violation of section 50, of the
state constitution, providing
that ono member of the legis-
lature shall receive any civil
! appointn,sat from, the :ge9ef;
nor, or the governor and senate
during the term for which he
shall have been elected" Sena-
to Macarthur being member
of the Legislature at the time, it
kis charged that the governor
appointed him warden of the
Apitentiary; and again voilat.
inA the said section 80 in ap.
pointing w. E. Purcell as
United States senator while q
member of the state senate.
Some of the newspapers of
the state have very kindly in.
formed the Forum that the
warden Of the penitentiary is
appointed by the board. of
trustees of the penitentiary,
and not by the governor, and
hence there is nothing in the
constitution to disqualify Mr..
Macarthur. They have also
ststed, az is true, that the sen.
ate Of the United States is the
Judge Of the qualifications of
|its own members, and that az
the senate admitted Senator
PuleGl as a member, this 10
efficient evidence of his quail
ication. rhe fact that he was
deceived and admitted as a
member of the senate would
1ot justify his appointment,
however, if he is, in fact, dis
qualified.
This question of eligibility of
state senator for appointment
he United States senator was
Eaised before the appointment
pf Senator Thompson, and I
thoroughly investigated the
ubject at that time, so that in
making this appointment; l
lad the5ddgement and de-
Eisions of some of the ablest
constitutional lawyers that
ave ever graced the senate

en before the senate of the
n#ed States several times

osOu uuuSI 00AU Gull 0uO OOly
elected Mr.. Faulkner, who was
at the time of his election q
judge of the courts of West
Virginia. Both Mr.. Lucas who
was appointed BY the governor,
aud Mr.. Faulkner, who was
elected BY the Legislature in
special session, presented their
credentials aud demanded ad-
mission into the United States
senate. Two objection were
made to the election of Senator
Faulkner. First, the constitu.
ton of West Virginia authoriz-
ing the call of the legislature
in special session provides that
the Legislature 80 convened in
extraordinary sessions should
enter upon no business except
that stated in the proclamation
by which it was called togeth-
er. and as the election of a
United States senator was not
named as one. of the subjects to
be acted upon by the special
session, therefore it's action in
electirg Mr.. Faulkner was null
and void. Second, the consti-
tuition of West. Virginia further
provided that'"no Judge during
his term of Office, appointment
or public trust, nor shall he,
during his continuance therein
be eligible to any other politi-
cal Office" The credentials,
with the objections were refer
ed to the committee on cleo
tions consisting of Senator
Hoar, chairman, and Senators
Frye, Tellar. Evarts, Spooner,
Salisbury, Vance. Pugh and
Eustance. On this committee
were Hoar, Evarts, Spooner and
Teller, among the greatest con-
stitutional lawyers that. this
country has produced; and, af-
ter stating all the facts, the re-
port continues as follows:
-"It is claimed BY Mr.. Lucas
that as this: body was not per.
mitted to enter upon any legis-
lative business, except such as
related to the eight matters set
forth in the call. It vac not q
Legislature. but was a body de.
riving its power from the will
of the executive or quasi.exe-
cutive- function. something like
that which is exercised by the
senate in giving it's assent to
the nominations of public Of
fiers.
"But it seems to US that this
view cannot be supported. In
the first place. the body is ex-
pressly declared by the consti-
tuition of West Virginia itself
to be a Legislature. In the
second place, the function
which it exercised in making
enactments upon the eight
great subjects mentioned in the
call of the governor is clearly a
Legislative function. Among
them, under Articles I and III is
the making of appropriations
of public money; under Article
III the regulating of procedure
in criminal cases; under Arti-
cles V, vi and VII would exist
the power to declare certain
high crimes and misdemean-
ors; and under Article VIII to
give the assent of the state to
the establishment and con-
firmation of its boundary lines.
ut is difficult to conceive of
any definition of the word leg
islature' which would not in
clude a body capable of passing
and actually passing such en-
actments as these. They can
be binding on the people of the
commonwealth only as legisla-
tion. They would be subject
to be construed and enforced
by the courts of that state only
