Legislative Blunders.

There is perhaps no more deplorable
indication of the blunders of the ordi-
nary legislature than that which has
been evidenced during the past two
weeks. when twice within that period,
through apparent disregard of condi-
tons and utter lack of knowledge of
effects on existing laws, the Idaho leg
islature, through it's eagerness to place
any freak law into immediate effect
has, through the emergency clause"
route, been the direct cause of two
murderers in the state escaping the
death penalty. One instance is in the
case of Robert Worth, convicted of
murder in the first degree, in Nez
Perez county, and another in the SINH
lar case of one Mcdowell, just convict
ed in Kootenai> county.
Through the failure of the legislature
to adopt some system of Immediately
advising the courts of the changes in
laws, especially where they become inn
mediately effective on passage, the
jurists not knowing that suchla have
been enacted, fail to issue proper in
structions to juries, with the conse-
quence that havoc is wrought.
There is no question but what the
efficiency of the legislative bodies has
been destroyed to some extent through
the eagerness of the people to accept
the candidacy of persons who are to-
tally unqualified to frame the laws of
the state and elect members who per-
caps are better qualified to handle theil
private affairs than those of the state.
There is no censure for the man who
is placed in the forefront and sent tc
the legislature of his state 1t is ar
honor that any man can justly be PROUD
of. No thought is given at the time
of the great responsibility that is i'm
posed. A man is elected, he goes tt
the legislature and if he is inexperienc
ed in parliamentary practice or has no
had wide acquaintance with the affairs
of state the chances are two to on,
that he comes under the party Will
and gives his assent to the passage O
measures introduced, 80 per cent O
which he has probably never heard O
or read about.
1t is time for the people to awakel
to the responsibility of sending mel
to the state legislature who are force
full, men who need not 90 because O
political preferment but because O
their ability to analyze the affairs o
state and to carry on the business O
the legislature in a business-like man
ner, in such a way as they would cor
duct their own personal affairs. Thi
thing of tying on emergency clauses t
laws affecting the judicial branch of tn
business of the state is bad practice
especially when no provision has bee
made for notifying the courts of tn
immediate change in laws. There is
sad neglect somewhere, and the peopl
should begin to think little for then
selves. Teller.

THE NEW MORRIS" "
European Hotel Soon to be
Opened for Business.

The Morris hotel building. the
ground floor of which is now occupied
by the j. H. Mcclure department
store, is being reconverted into q
hotel. The second and third stories
are being entirely renovated and re-
finished and the ground floor will be
remodelled as soon after the first of
the year as possible. The first floor
Will be changed to provide a different
entrance. an inside stairway, lunch
room, dinning room and Office. The
architectural features of the building
will be much enhanced. the interior
modernized and made most attractive
and its accommodations improved in
comfort and safety. John Grove, the
owner of the building, has just re-
turned from an extensive trip, and
says no expense will be spared in the
furnishing and equipment of tn" New
Morris j. E. Hamilton, proprietor
of the La Grand hotel. has leased the
New Morris for q term of years, and
will give his entire attention to the
management of these two places.
The New Morris will be run on the
European plan, the rates for rooms
being Csc. SOC, 75c and $1.OO and
will have first class cafe and lunch
room in connection. This new hotel
will be ideally located, being but a
short half block from the N. P. depot
and two blocks from the Great North
ern.
There has always been a greater
demand for rooms than the local
hotels could supply, and while a. Eur
opean hotel will be somewhat of an
experiment in Morris. yet being mod,
ern, fre-proof and popular priced. and
under the able management of Mr.. |
Hamilton, it is sure to become a pop
ular hostelry. T.

Brown County Journal A farmer
residing in the vicinity of Klossper

ence the other day. which he no doubt

he went into his machine shed and
upon uncovering the salt barrel. when
10. and behold, singular sight met
his eyes,, In some manner a youthful
member of the genus skunk had found
its way into the barrel. A singular
circumstance about this little animal
was that the white stripes over it's
black fur ran across its body, instead
of the usual way, from head to tail.
Believing it to be a freak of nature
worth showing to the women folks
in the house. and feeling certain that
the varmit was too young to be "dang-
erous,' he proceeded to carry out his
thought. He had no. sooner entered.
the house when the young skunk put
up strenuous "defense" and the re-
suit can better be imagined than de-
scribed. Certain it is tha the, farmer
in question will be more cautious in
future upon approaching one of the
skunk species, regardless of its age
or possible variations in the color of
its fur. " -.:
