Inanity Of Idaho Democracy

1t has been said, and with great truth,
that no matter what mistakes the Re
publicans make, the Democrats are al
ways sure to 20 them one better and
destroy what might otherwise be a
splendid prospect of success. With all
the bitterness and strife which has been
engendered in the Republican ranks,
predictions have been freely made that
the Democrats would elect a president
this fall. 1t must be admitted that
there have been excellent grounds for
such predictions. but for that fatal weak
ness of the Democrats to destroy their
own prospects.
1t would have seemed that with one
of Idaho's most distinguished Demo
Gratis chosen to conduct the campaign
OF the man who seems to be sure win
ner for the Democratic nomination for
president, the Democrats of this state
would have been big enough to lay aside
small, personal differences and get be-
hind such man unitedly. Instead o.
doing that obviously sensible thing the
Democrats of haho in convention as
sembled Immediately began to dig VI
old and forgotten issues, apparently, fol
no better purpose than to destroy an,
prospect of carrying this state for ChamI

to send telegram to the convention

LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS.
Law Makers Close Weeks Work
and Some of Them Go to the
Penitentiary-Local
Measures Offered.

Maryland's lawmakers once more
went shy on the job for three days
when shortly before IL o'clock thie
morning. they closed up shop and left
Annapolis for their respective homes,
only to return to town in time to
start the ball rolling again at $50
o'clock Monday night.
When the House concluded its ses.
sions its committee to inspect the
Maryland Penitentiary, joined by the
committee from the Senate, took cars
for Baltimore, where Warden Weyler
will show them through and all about
the States penal institution.
During the session in the Senate,
Senator Bells bill for the appoint
ment of two additional female nota-
ries public for Anne Arundel county,
was favorably reported from the Judi
cal Proceedings Committee and order
ed engrossed for third reading.
Senator Bells also introduced a bill
by request to authorize the payment
to James M. Munroe of debt incurred
to him by the State in his aid OF
former Comptroller Gordon T. At
kinson for legal services.
Under bill offered by Senator Becl
for Senator Moore, who was absent
an appropriation of $751; is to b,
made for the installation of an eIe

NO FEMALE COMMISSIONERS.
Governor COIdsbOrOugh Advised BY
Attorney General That Ladies are
Not Eligible.

I Maryland is to have no women school
/ commissioners unless the laws of the
I State are changed
This much was decided TODAY bv
I Governor Goldsborough or.more prop-
I erly, as decided by Acknowledgement
Edgar Allan Poe, as the official legal
adviser Of the Governor. The desi-
sion has to be followed by the Cover
nor, though he desires to place women
on the school boards in some of the
counties.
In his campaign the GovernoAindi-
Gated that be favored placing women
on school boads and recently the Fed
Grafton Of Women's Clubs of Mont
gomery county, has indorsed a woman
for the school board of that county.
Before acting the Governor asked the
Attorney General whether women were
eligible under the law and today he
received the opinion of his legal ad-
wiser. The opinion says in part:
ln my opinion women are not elig-
ble for such appointments. / base
this conclusion entirely upon the Ian
guage of Section of Article AZ. Of
Bag0y's Annotated Code of 1911.
About the middle of said section there
occurs the following language:
" The term Of Office of the said
commissioners, after the expiration
OF the term for which first appointed.
shall be term of. six years, said
persons shall be men of high charac-
ter, integrity and capacity ="
The opinion then goes on to state
that the law makes a provision for
political party representation and
says that women not having the right
to vote, cannot represent a political
party.
This is taken to have a direct
bearing on the present scrap over the
naming of female trustees for the An
napolis schools, friends of which plan
are fighting the three trustee bill of
Senator BELLS.
