Idaho Senator Gives Reasons for
Admitting Arizona and
New Mexico.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Special
Following Senator Poindexter's speech
in the Senate in favor of State
hood for Arizona and New Mex
leo, Senator Borah, of Idaho, one OF
the foremost champions of the bill. de-
liVered powerful plea that the two
Territories be admitted TO the sister
hood of States.
Il maintain that in writing a law.
in placing upon the statute books a
guide or rule of action for men, we
ought TO listen closely to the instruc-
lions OF a well-informed and we'll
sustained public opinion" said the
senator. Il am aware that the com
pick and involved conditions OF mod
ern questions require much study and
long training on the part of the sue
cessful legislator. II is my deliberate
and uncomprOmising opinion that
without a free, untrammeled. indie
pendent judiciary, popular govern
ment, the government of the people,
by the people and for the people
would be a delusion, a haunting, tor
menting deluSion."
What Is the basic principle OF Demo-
cratic or Republican government We
sometimes urge that the first principle
is that the majority shall rule. That is
true in making laws and determining
policies, but il has no place in and will
destroy Republican government II ap-
plled 10 the courts or TO controversies
10 be determined under the law"
AT the conclusion OF Senator BOrah's
speech Senator Nelson called up his
amendment, offered several weeks ago,
10 strike out the recall provision OF the
Arizona constitution and to approve the
New Mexico constitution, without the
proposition which seeks to make il
more easily amendable.
