No Change Needed.

Among constitutional amend
ments to be voted on this fall is
one to increase the number OF the
supreme court judges to FIVE. In
support Of the proposition it is
said the work Of the court is badly
behind, and getting worse. The
Advance confesses to lack of en-
thusiasm for the proposed increase.
With one judge incapacitated for
months at time by sickness and
another playing at politics, it is no
wonder the court is behind with
its work. We believe few Office
holders should be dispensed with
rather than new ones added. Post
Falls Advance.

aud national affairs from the demo-

struggle going on in Europe and
praised President Wilson for his wis

out Of that war as well as out OF
trouble with Mexico. He urged the
election of the democratic ticket.
In SO doing he declared Idaho had
too many commissions and new offices
that should be abolished. Upward
of 500. 900 he said could be saved by
abolishing the tax commission, utlll-

Three Judges Enough.

The amendment proposing an
increase in the number OF supreme
court judges simply aims at the
creation Of couple Of more easy
jobs and should be voted against
by every taxpayer. The court
when it adjourned in July had
cleared the docket, and il is q we'll
known fact that Justice Stewart
had not served one.third Of his
time for two years owing to poor
health. Two judges handled prac
tically all Of the business and there
is no need Of five. Three are
enough for present needs.
The amendment proposing q
faur year term Of Office should he
killed for the reason that It will
not save the people cent and
may foist upon the state some men
whom we would be mighty glad 40
get rid of in two years. When the
congressional elections are iength-
ened out to four years and county
officers are included it will be time

State Press Comment.
Will Increase Expenses.
(Statesm an. J


We doubt If the people will take
kindly to the proposed constitu-
tional amendment increasing the
membership Of the supreme court
to Ave and the expense by several
thousand dollars. A better reason
than has so far been advanced will
have to be put up to them before
they will acquiesce. Il is true the
business Of the court got behind,
but that was due in part to the
fact that one Of the judges was sick
long time and, undoubtedly, also
to the fact that another was devot-
ing too much Of his time to
politics and fraternal matters. The
present business Of the court ought
to be handled by three judges. II
necessary they might forego the
writing OF long. winded decisions
in cases OF minor importance.

THE THREE AMENDMENTS
How Changes are Made In
Constitution.
Much INTEREST AROUSED
Supreme Judges. es.-Four-Year Term
For State Officers.

Three amendments to the state
constitution will be Submitted to the
voters at the general election in
November. All three will arouse
much interest and the result Of The
vote will be watched with interest.
They provide for the four-year term
for all state officers, for the increase
10 the number Of suprems court
justices from three to I've, and tbs
abolishment Of the office of the state
superintendent OF public Instruction
and removal of the holder OF that
office from membership on the state
land board.
AS to the four-year term for state
officers, many states have this term.
or the 81 states and territories q
have a four-year term for state officers,
81 have a two-Year term. one has a
three.year term, and two have one
year term.
The state land board at present
consists OF I've members-the COVER
nor, the secretary of state, the at
torney general, the auditor and the
state superintendent Of public ic-
structlon.
The law covering constitutional
amendments has been amplif1ed by
decisions OF the state supreme court.
Among its holdings are that the
favorable vote OF majority Of the
electors voting on the proposition Is
sufficient to ratify the amendment
regardless Of whether or not the vote
Is majority Of all the votes cast at
the election. The court also has in
terpreted the law to mean that upon
its approval by the voters, the amend.
ment becomes Immediately a part Of
the constitution and operative.

SENATOR BRADY'S MEETING

OkNAlUN DNAUI y MILL lNU
Made Brief Speech On Some Of the
Issues.
In spite OF the inclement weather
Senator James II. Brady held meet.
ing In Rathdrum last Saturday after.
noon, attended by a number of
farmers as we'll as many town people.
The meeting was held In the dining
room OF the Mountain View hotel.
following a few selections by the
Rathdrum city band.
In brief speech Senator Brady
spoke plainly regarding some Of the
issues. He said he believed 10
good currency law but declared the
one enacted by the democratic con-
gress is complete surrender to Wall
street. As first introduced he said
the bill was very good, but 1t was
amended until 1t only benefits the
big bankers. He said /! any OF the
common people think II is benefit
to them. let them try 1t. He hoped
some day the law may be amended Ia
the interests OF the people. Refer
ring to the action Of congress 10
making American coastw,se shipping
subject to tolls. the senator said all
the smaller vessels were entirely shut
out Of the Panama canal because the
minimum charge is too high for them
to pay OH small cargoes. Only the
big railroad owned ships can afford
the rate, he SAID. However, he de-
clared the canal is great benefit to
the west and that statistics showed
large increase in the coast TO coast
trade since II was built.
The senator said the entire Idaho
delegation IN congress had been kept
busy since the beginning Of the present
session. His own work has been yer,
exacting, as he wished all to know
that he was the servant OF all the
people Of the state irrespective Of
party and was ready at all times 10
attend to any matters any Of his con-
stituents wished to bring before the
senate or any of the departments that
will be of benefit to them or to the
state. He said his democratic Of
ponent, J. II. Hawley, has been tell
ing the voters to send him to Il e
senate "because he can work 10 har-
mony with the administration and
thus get more for the state" He
said this is absurd. There Is no such
thing as harmony; what one gets he
must fight for, he declared.
Referring to state affairs, Senator
Brady said the taxes were too high,
that the people must work for greater
economy in government and reduce
expenses. But. he said, "You must
begin at home." The state taxes, he
pointed out, we're small, and reduct-
ions must be made Tin your own
precinct, your own school distric.

to remember that OF each 500 taxes
they pay only So goes to the state.
All the rest goes to their own county.

senator said the farmers had moi
been benefited by the reductions
made by the Underwood law.

committeeman, and T. r.. Gerdes

GERMANS TAKE Antwerp
Making Conquest Of Belgium
Complete.
ENGLAND OPEN TO ATTACK
Battle Continues In France and
On the East.

| On the East.
The Germans, after a siege OF
eleven days, took Antwerp, Bel
gium, October 9. This city with
its three lines Of forts was consid-
cred the strongest fortress in the
world, but was reduced with the
colossal howitzers which the
invaders have so successfully
employed against every fortified
place that stood in their way. One
by one the forts gave way before
the battering of the big siege guns,
and the fierce defense by the Bel
gian garrison assisted by some
English marine brigades gradu-
ally gave way. The city itself was
bombarded. Notice of several
hours was given to enable the nom
combatants to leave. When it
became evident that the city could
not be held the Belgian troops and
the English blew up the remaining
forts, set fire to the stores and oil
tanks and began hasty withdraw
al. Most OF the Belgian troops
escaped, but admit losing 20, GOO
prisoners. Of the English, $4,000
fed to Holland where they were
disarmed. The burgomaster
hoisted white flag on the cathed-
raj and surrendered the city to
General Won Beseler, the German
commander, who Immediately
marched his troops in, extinguish-
ed the fires and imposed an indem-
nifty of s1oo, 900, 900 on the inhab-
itants. The Germans captured
large stores of supplies with the
city.
Although the allies minimize
the importance Of the event, the
taking of Antwerp has considera-
BILE moral effect favorable to the
German cause. 1t shows that
their siege guns are invincible, and
England seems more and more
impressed with the gravity of the
situation and the prospect that the
war will be long. 1t is believed
the Germans will fortify the place
and may use it as base in opera.
tons against England.
The fall of Antwerp has remov.
ed the menace to the line of com.
munications and released about
100, 900 German troops and many
Of the heavy siege guns for use or
the long battle line down ir
France.
Upon entering the captured city
the German commander issued Z
proclamation assuring the citizen:
that they would not be harmed i
they refrained from hostile act:
but warning them that acts OF hos
tility would lead to severe punish
ment and probably to the destruc
ton of their city. However, it j!
claimed the Belgians bear bite
hatred for all Germans and may
repeat the reckless conduct tha
provoked the ruin of Louvain
