MANY saw ROOSEVELT
Progressive Candidate Was in
Rathdrum, Sunday.

A crowd estimated LAT between
400 and 800 was al the.train Sun
day evening at 8 O'clock to. see
Theodore Roosevelt when he
passed through Rathdnlm on his
way to Spokane. ]. M. Repass
had arranged by wire with Senator
Joseph NJ. Dixon oi'Mont., chair
man Of the Progressive national
committee, to have the colonel
come out and see the people dur
ing the three or four minutes that
the train stopped, and they made
the greatest possible use Of the
brief time at their disposal. In
response to calls from the crowd
Colonel Roosevelt hurried out from
his dinner and appeared on the
rear platform Of the train, shook
hands with a number Of those near
est him and received Bouquet Of
flowers from Mrs. r. c. Thompson,
which was handed to the colonel
by Mr.. Rcpass. On account of
darkness where the rear end Of the
train stopped. torca light had
.enfprovided. SO that good view
was had of the Progressive stand
ard bearer by that part Of the
crowd that had collected at the
rear of the train. Some who as
sembled ahead at the depot
hurriedly, failed to see him, as the
train pulled out before they could
get back to where the rear car was.
| Colonel Roosevelt makes no
Sunday speeches, SO he simply
extended formal greeting. II
am glad to be back in Idaho again.
he said, and as he noticed some
children near his car he called out:
"Look out and don't let those
little Bull Moose get under the
4 train"
I As the train started he exchanged
last greetings with the crowd anc
reentered the car. The Spokane
reception committee joined thu
colonel at Rathdrum and accom-
. panied him to that city,.

Roosevelt on his arrival in Spo

or not some OF these may not well be
consolidated.

Finally, let us have fewer laws aud
more law enforcement. The leglsla-
ture is not, OF course, responsible for
law enforcement but !, 1t is for the
number Of laws. In the regular
session OF the present legislature $40
bills were introduced and somewhat
considered, an average Of more than
10 bills day for each day OF the
session, Including Sundays. But
beside bills proper there were many
joint and concurrent resolutions 10.
troduced, the consideration Of which
consumed goodly portion OF the
time Of the legislature. The mere
statement OF this fact shows how
totally inadequate must have been
the consideration given to those bills
which became laws. A member
should not feel that he is failing to
perform his duty II he does not
appear as the author or many bills
for he can well afford to spend his
energies 10 other directions 1t is to
be hoped that coming legislatures
will not contain too many members
like one who at the regular 'ssion OF
the present legislature was willing to
serve without pay and who did not
want to adjourn until all the $40 bills
had been considered and passed upon,
for the reason that, as he expressed
II, "these are all good laws and the
people need theM," A few good,
well-considered laws would be more
to the credit Of any legislature than
all the poorly considered and hastily
constructed laws that could be
enacted e. G. Davis. @
