Inherent Power"
"4H Political Power is Inherent I'm fhe People
- Constitution"

The Ada county Bar Association, in
which, as we have heretofore stated. is
reposed all wisdom and knowledge, past,
present and to come, in its recent meet-
ing took occasion to vilify the newe-
papers of the state for their free ex-
preston on the recent Capital News
contempt cases, and to assert the ''in-
herent" power OF the court to punish
for constructive contempt
The Herald editor frankly admits the
utter ins ignifcance of his mentality as
compared with that Of any member of
the Ada county bar association. He re-
alizes that he is unworthy to sit at the
licls. These premises conceded, we
continue:
In all humility we ask "From whence
comes this ''inherent" power of the
courts7 From what source does it attach?
If it comes from Almighty God, the only
real source of inherent power, how
did the Ada county Bar find it out?
We have frequently heard it stated that
the average lawyer is in league with the
devil. but we have never heard it
claimed that he received tips from the
other boundary of the Infinite. Ofcourse
however, the Ada County Bar is not
composed of average" lawyers, and it
NAV have inside information Ii ''in-
herent" power comes from delegated
power we are still unable to find the
source that vests inherent" power in
the courts Being somewhat dull Of
comprehension ourselves, we are going
to quote from the Constitution Of the
State of. Idaho:
Art l, Section All men are
by nature free and equal and have
certain inalienabIe rights, among
which are enjoying aud defending
life and liberty, acquiring, possess
ing, and protecting property,
pursuing happiness and securing
safety.

were all brought out in 8 very marked
degree in the poem. This was so true
that, me thinks, there will be few
indeed that will appreciate it. We
wonder how many there are in Parma
who will see the true significance Of
that poem and try to make the life OF
some poor fallen creature little brigh-
ter.
The character posing and imperson-
ating of various nationalities accompa-
MED by lightning change of make up to
conform to the character represented by
Mr.. Wright was excellent and afforded
much amusement.
The crowning feature OF the evening
was the The Village Pastor" This
play exempifed the fact that even the
ministers Of the gospel stand ready to
barter their own salvation and the saw
ing of the community in order to make
magnificent showing and be popular
The greater part of the membership en-
dorse such action and the teachings of
the great Teacher are subservient to
personal pride and comfort These facts
were brought out so prominently, that
doubtless there we're many who did not
appreciate it greatly and will in no way
apply 1t to themselves. yet he writer
ventures the assertion that there is no
place in the universe that the conditions
shown do not exist. The fact is that
none are willing to admit that they be-
long to the class represented. Very few
there are indeed that do not Yet peo-
pie wonder why the cause of righteous
ness makes no greater advancement
Surely some of the causes are very ap-
parent. However the knowledge OF
these faults will not materially help
matters here o. elsewhere

right to alter, reform or abolish the
same whenever they may deem it
necessary. and no special privileges
or immunities shall ever be granted
that may not be altered, revoked,
or repealed by the legislature "
II "all men are by nature free and
equal", and "ALL political power is in
herent In THE PEOPLE," where does
the supreme court get its inherent"
power7 Is not the supreme court crea-
ted by political power? Is its status
guaranteed by Divine right? Is it
servant Of the people, in whom the con-
stitution states that all political power
is inherent, or is it the master?
We are going to tell the Ada County
Bar Association that the people, in
whom is vested all inherent political
power, have had enough of construct
ive' government by courts and lawyers.
We can cite them to case after case
where the courts have usurpei the pow
ers of the people, and those granted by
the people to the legislature. In many
cases we will not say that the courts did
not show far superior wisdom than
that exhibited by the Legislature. hut
that would be no extennation of the
matter 1t is probably true that the
fact that the courts have at times pract
ically been compelled to annnl the work
of certain legislatures, has led them to
believe that they possess inherent"
power Idaho is not proud of the rec
ord of its legislatures of recent years
Neither are its corrts, but the courts
have not the right to arrogate to them
selves the privilege OF maFing laws un-
der the guisc of "'inherent" power.
The ''divine right of kings and the
''inherent power of courts" are identi
cal in theory and practice. Both ale
equally repugnant to our supposed form
of government, notwithstanding the ex-
cess of indignant indignance shown by
the Ada County Bar Association.

WESTERN

Our Washington Cores
pondent Cites why a
Western Man should
have Interior Portfolio

The present Idaho legislature in its
superior wisdom 1--WE have another
name for it) have seen fit to refuse to
endorse a western man for the Interior
secretaryship. Even as far east as
Washington there are those who recog
nize the necessity Of such an appoint
ment The western members are unan-
imous for a western man, realizing
what it means to the entire west. This
is the report of our Washington cores
pondent:
The Washington Evening Star pub
fishes the following interview by Con-
gressman-elect Addison I. Smith. urg
ing the appointment of a western man
as Interior Secretary. He thinks Gov
ernor Hawley is best fitted:
"The western people, regardless OF
politics, are hoping that President-elect
Wilson will select western man for
Secretary of the Interior" remarked
Representative addison T. Smith today
"We want man who is in sympathy
with the efforts OF the people of that
section to build up and develop the re
sources of that great country. Only a
western man can possess broad grasp
OF the important questions involving
the development of the public lands,
states and the prosperity Of the people,
as nothing but an actual residence and
participation in the struggles OF the
settlers can enable person to acquire
that degree OF knowledge which will in-

"The Litchfelds," the third number
of the Parma Lecture Course, was given
last Saturday evening and proved to be
a winner in every wav. Lessons true
to life were given in the little plays
that were put on. The audience, which
filed the house even to the last seat in
the gallery, was very appreciative and
every selection was received with ap-
plause.
The play representing the fooling Of
the old lady and getting her assistance
in an elopement shows that even the
mothers are ready to assist in under
hand methods to deceive some other
mother, and the climax of the affair is
brought out strongly when the mother
discovers that it is her own daughter
that she has been plotting against and
she, herself has be IN the victim of her
own intrigue. No mother can afford to
plan evil against another without en-
dangering the safety of her own child.
How many mothers that were present
will see a personal application in the
play?
The three scenes from the life Of
BeDdict Arnold brought out distinctly
the fact no man can barter the rights OF
others and be traitor to any cause
without suffering the severest punish
ment for sucn action
The posing OF Miss Marquette was ex-
celIent and demonstrated that she is a
performer of no small ability.
One of the best selections of the even
ing was the "Convict's Christmas The
lesson in this recitation was that it is
not well for man to be alone and, that
when man is once down there is little
thought OF the nee. ssity of giving hin
helping hand and, that if one does 4
good and noble act that the only recog
milton necessary is little money and ,
lot OF advice about mending his ways
But the very things that every mar
Graves after, sympathy and friendship
are denied How many of US would re
form if denied those privileges2 Thee
