inal cases; under Articles V, VI and
VII, would exist the power to de-
clare certain high crimes and mis-
demeanors; and under Article VIII
to give the assent of the state to the
establishment and confirmation of
its boundary lines.
1T is difficult to conceive of any
definition of the word legislature
which would not include a body cap
able of passing and actually passing
such enactments as these. They can
be binding on the people of the COM
monwealth only as legislation. They
would be subject to be construed and
enforced by the courts of that state
only in their character as laws.
But it seems to the committee
that the construction of the state
constitution of West Virginia., upon
which the above argument is based
is one which will not bear examina-
ton. When the constitution provid-
ed that the legislature so convened
in extraordinary occasions should
enter upon any business except that
stated in the proclamation by which
it was called together the people
must be presumed to have had in
mind business to be transacted under
the authority of the state constitu-
ton, and not to have intended to
prohibit the performance Of duties
imposed upon it by the supreme all.
thority of the constitution of the
United States.
"If the argument be sound that a
legislative body which is prohibited
from entering upon certain classes
of business. or which is confined to
certain classes of business clearly
legislative in their character, is no
legislature in the constitutional
sense, its logic would require us to
declare that the legislature Of every
state whose bill of rights excludes
it from large domains of legislation
is no legislative body. If, under the
same provisions of the constitution
of the United States, the act of con-
gress had fixed day for holding
elections for representatives to con.
gress, and the state constitution or
laws should prohibit the assembling
of the people for such elections on
the day so fixed, it would. we sup
pose, be held clear that the act OF

Bismarck, Feb. 9. 1910.

Bismarck, Feb. 9. 1910.
To the Public:
Under date OF February 5th, the
Fargo Forum, newspaper publish
ed in the city of Fargo in this state,
publishes an article headed Did
Burke Violate Oath?' In this ar
ticle it boldly charges the governor
with having appointed D. H. NC
Arthur warden of the pen1tentlary
in violation of Section 80 OF the
State Constitution providing that
"No member of the legislature shall
receive any civil appointment from
the governor or the governor and
senate during the term for which
he shall have been elected" Senator
Macarthur being a member of the
legislature at the time, it is charged
that the governor appointed him
warden Of the penitentlary; and
again violating the said Section 80 in
appointing w. E. Purcell as United
States senator while member of the
state senate.
state have very kindly Informed the
Forum that the warden of the peni-
Tertiary is appointed by the board
of trustees of the penitentiary, and
not by the governor, and hence there
is nothing in the constitution to dis
qualify Mr.. Macarthur. They have
also stated, as is true, that the SEN
ate of the United States is the Judge
of the qualification of its own men,
bers, and that as the senate admit
ted Senator Purcell as a member,
this is sufficient evidence of his quail
ification. The fact that he was re-
ceived and admitted as member of
the senate would not justify his ap-
pointment, however, if he is, in fact,
disqualified.
This question of eligibility of
state senator for appointment as
United States senator was raised be-
fore the appointment of Senator
Thompson, and I thoroughly inves-
tigated the subject at that time, so
that in making this appointment, I
had the judgment and decisions Of
some of the ablest constitutional law
yers that have ever graced the SEN
ate chamber. This question has been
before the senate of the United States
several times and has always been
decided one way
The last authority is the case Of
Daniel B. Lucas VS.. Chas. J. Fau1k-
ner, Senate Election Cases No. IL,
(from 1889 to 1909, page 722. In
1887 the regular session of the leg
rislature of West Virginia adjourned

had adjourned, the governor ap.

pointed Mr.. Lucas United States SEN
ator, and on the same day issued his
proclamation converting the legisla-
ture in special session to consider
and act upon eight subjects named
in the call, no one of which was the
election of a United States senator.
The legislature met in special ses-
sion under said call and duly elected
Mr.. Faulkner, who was at the time
of his election a Judge of one of the
courts of West Virginia. Both Mr..
Lucas, who was appointed by the
governor, and Mr.. Faulkner, who was
elected by the legislature in special
session, presented their credentials
and demanded admission into the
United States senate. Two objec-
lions were made to the election of
Senator Faulkner First, the con-
stitution of West Virginia authoriz-
ing the call of the legislature in
special session provides that the leg
islature 50 convened in extraordi-
nary sessions should enter upon no
business except that stated in the
proclamation by which it was called
together. and as the election of a
United States senator was not nam.
ed as one of the subjects to be act
ed upon, by the special session, there
fore, their action in electing Mr..
Faulkner was null and void. Sec
ond, the constitution Of West Vir-
ginia further provided that mo
Judge during his term Of Office shall
practice the profession Of law, or
hold any other Office, appointment
or public trust, nor
shall he during his continuance
therein be eligible to any other po-
litical Office" The credentials with
the objections were referred to the
committee on elections consisting of
Senator Hoar, chairman. and Sena-
tors Frye, Teller, Evarts, Spooner,
Salisbury, Vance, Pugh and Eustace.
On this committee were Hoar, Evarts
greatest constitutional lawyers that
this country has produced: and, af-
ter stating all the facts, the report
continues as follows:
1T is claimed by Mr. Lucas that as
this body was not permitted to enter
upon any legislative business, ex-
cept such as related to the eight mat
tiers set forth in the call, it was not
a legislature, but was a body deriv-
ing it's power from the will of the
Executive, and SO was exerting a GER
tain executive or quasi-executive
function. something like that which
is exercised by the senate in giving
its assent to the nominations of pub
lie officers.
But it seems to Us that this view
cannot be supported. In the first
place the body is expressly declared
by the constitution of West Virginia
itself to be a legislature. In the
second place the function which it
exercised in making enactments up
on the eight great subjects mention
ed in the call of the governor is
clearly legislative function.
Among them, under Articles I and
II is the making of appropriations
of public money; under Article III,
the regulating Of procedure in GRIM
