The presidential bill, as voted on
In the house and as introduced in the
senate by Senators Sageng and Put
nam, provides, under warrant of the
national constitution, that women
might vote for presidential electors.
This provision is mandatory with the
legislature, which is given the right
to determine the manner of choice
for presidential ~electors.
Minnesota women would have ap-
preciated the right enjoyed in a dozen
states to vote for the next president,
as issues very close to the heart
of world-mothers, may feature the
national campaign.

ing their issue separate and apart

ton chairman In this the election of
state chairman will naturally devolve upon the state
chairman.
The Boise correspondent of The Tribune stated last
week that Hon. NJ B. Gwinn of Caldwell and Boise was
prominently mentioned for chairman Inquiry leads
believe that Mr. Gwinn will accept this position if it
rendered him. AS Mr. Gwnn is warm personal friend
of Senator Boah and enjoys the confidence of the rank
and file of the party WELL he the logical man for the
position If the Republican party is to win in the next
campaign it have at its head who is acceptable
all factions-one in whom all the members of the party
have confidence. Mr.. Gwnn is Republican and progress
sively So He does fly off the handle He fights with

The Republican party needs organization and needs it
bad AT the present time the party sadly demorazed
Mr. Gwinn is organizer He is leader in both thought
and action He is terribly in earnest in matter that
he thinks worthy his time and attention He is energetic
persistent and determined. We know of in the

THE EVOLUTION OF THE LAW

few the state legislature passed a Sunday
closing law. 1t called the Sunday law and closed
up business houses in order that employees might have
least one day of rest per week 1t permitted legitimate
places of amusement remain open The theory was that
the day was one OF rest and recreation and long the
recreation of person did interfere with or disturb
another he should not be inerfered with
The last legislature took another step 1t only an
nounced that Sunday day of rest and recreation
but by limitation at least prescribed the manner of re-
creation might enjoy. For instance pool hall can
remain open on Sunday The requentes of pool hall
can play dddewnks and checkers but they cannot pv
cards Cards evil in and of themselves on Sunday
and must not be endulged in.
The next legislature will undoubtedly go farther still
1t will further limit the recreaons. Base ball games

Will hnaly come to pass that the only thing man can
do on Sunday will be attend church. You can rest as
sured that that the end aimed at 1t is the final

THE FATHERS OF THE STATE.

The men who met in the constitutional convention
which was held at Boise in the of 1882 were not
inspired men, Their work may be criticized amended or
altogether condemned by the individual or by the people
collectively without arousing great antagonism The
state constitutions of the different states must of
sty into details and consequence frequent changes
in the fundamental law of the different states must be
made AS conditions and the thought of the people change
SO must the state constitution change The fact however
tha the authors OF the constitution of Idaho
spred why the conclusions they arrived at
should be overturned without thought consideration The
principles enunciated in the constitution are still
vital principles and worthy of serious considerations The
principles however must stand upon their own merits
a principle OF government not infrequently ACQUIRES
authority from its author and its author alone Men and
women still act by the precept of government laid down in
the beginning of this by the fathers solely
because it was the fathers who laid it down. There is no
quicker way OF confoundng a good Democrat than by
