The entire proceedings in court, as
a climax to the three month dynamite
conspiracy trial, required only two
hours from the time court opened,
shortly after 10 a. m.
Before Judge Anderson passed SEN
tence he said he desired to read a
statement. He then read history of
the dynamite conspiracy. as well as the
evidence introduced and said: This
scheme or campaign of dynamite was
entered into and carried on through
out the country from the Atlantic to
the Pacific
The evidence disclosed an appalling
list Of crimes In addition to the crimes
given in the indictments. These crimes
We're all committed in the name of or
ganized labor. but | will not believe
that organized labor approves OF such
practices,
Any organization that approves and
backs the methods of these defendants
IS an outlaw and will meet the fate
which outlaws have met since civilized
society began.
THE evidence shows some of these
defendants to be guilty Of murder, but
they are not charged here with that
crime, This court cannot punish them
for It. nor should 1t be influenced by
such consideration In fixing the meas
ure of punishment for crimes charged.
/ "The certainty of punishment, is not
its severity, Is the important consider
alton in the administration of criminal
justice. Such punishment should be
melted out as shall warn mon that
even IL they desire TO accomplish law
full ends, they must not violate the
law in an attempt to realize them"

which began in 1905, and which the
government charged was the motive
which prompted John J Mcnamara to
use dynamite as weapon, Judge An

He added,

Referring to your letter OF Dec. II,
concerning recent order of the inter

WORTHW|NE TO
COACH TEAM FOR
K ANOTHER YEAR
Announcement Is Made at
Luncheon Given in Honor
Of Members of the High
School Eleven.

Q. w. Worthwine will coash Boise
high again next year. The superin-
tendent, Professor Meek, and the coach
have reached an understanding, and the
man that defeated Chicago will again
be at the head OF football affairs in
the high school next season.
This announcement was made at the
luncheon given by the Boise CONNER
cial club to the football heroes of the
Chicago battle. In his speech, Profess Or
Meek announced that the famous coach
would again be at the head Of the foot
ball work of the school, and that he
would have charge of the team during
the season Of 1913.
One hundred and fifty men and boys
sat down at the club tables at noon
today. Funny happenings on the field
and diamond sparkled through the
talks made by Governor Hawley, Presi-
dent G. j. Sinsel, DIR. Judd OF the Uni
versity of Chicago. Coach Worthwine,
Captain Red Johnston and Professor G.
S. Meek.
Governor Hawley said that, in spite
of the fact that Chief Justice Stewart
was the embodiment of law and or
der. that the personification Of law and
order, Smiley Hunt. was unable 10
keep the excited jurist off of the fled
during the game, and that the police
man had to call attention to his en-
croachment several times during the
big battle.
The keynote Of the governors speech
was team work. He said the work of
the boys was successful because of CO.
operation. He urged the club members
to form in line, and do some team work
for the city, the county, and the state,
and declared that only by a thorough
and continued cooperation could the
clubs work be successful.
DIR. Judd styled himself the human
sacrifice at your celebration" He COM
pllmented the team. the people OF Boise
and the community In general on the
game and the way in which the play
ers had been treated while they were
here. He said that he never saw such
fine specimens Of players as those that
are raised in the Boise valley.
The coach himself was as modest as
usual. He thought that the glory Of
the victory should go TO the members
OF the team rather than to their coach,
and disclafmed any responsibility for
the victory The announcement that
Worthwine would again coach the team
brought out applause from the boys and
the members of the club that fairly
shook the walls of the diningroom.

PROTEST AGAINST
The ADOPTION OF
THE AMENDMENTS
Elk Governor Mcconnell De
clares That They Would
Bring Disaster to State
Issues a Statement.

Protesting against the adoption of
the recent amendments to the constitu-
ton voted upon and passed by the peo-
PIE of this state Nov. 5. Ex-Governor
William j. Mcconnell has issued let
ter over the state pointing ont that
under the rule BY which all these
amendments have been declared carried
that It would be possible to amend the
constitution if the amendment or
amendments only received dozen
votes instead Of thousands. He pro-
tests against their adoption
Ex-Governor Mcconnell was one OF
the trainers of the present constitution
and was also the senior United States
senator for the short term when Idaho
was first admitted to statehood
In his statement as to the eight
amendments he suggests that one of
the first things the legislature should
10 when 1t cenvenes Jan Is to pass
the following act: BE it enacted BY
the Legislature of the state Of Idaho.
Section /. Any opinion of the supreme
court of the state of Idaho may sub
seqnently be reversed by that tribunal
without prejudice to cases heretofore
heard and decided by said court"
Thinks Court Wrong.
The reason assigned for this sugges-
ton is that the supreme court in 1895
held the women's suffrage amendment
to have carried when 1t received less
than a majority vote of all the electors
voting at that election.
The supreme court held" says Mr.
Mcconnell, that majority of those
voting upon a proposed amendment
adopts 1t, and this is. IN my opinion.
absurd.
That is Just what section 1 of arr
tiele 20 of the constitution prohibits
when It provides that such amendments
must have received a majority of all the
electors. This provision OF the Idaho
constitution is different from the Wash
ingtan state constitution IN this par
ttcular And TO hold that less than
one-third of the voters of Idaho can
provide for adding an additional bonded
Indebtedness of 81 900 eco upon the tax
payers is a travesty on constitutional
law
This Is what one of the proposed
means. although 1t was
adroitly worded"
