In his public addresses Governor
Alexander never loses the opportun.
ity of patting himself ON the bach
by declaring that In public affairs
politics should be laid aside for ef-
fieient service. He made this state
ment in his campaign speech IN Mont
pelier last fall. and he has repeated
it several times since entering upon
his second term as governor. How
ever, since the first of January he
has taken particular pains to see to
it that every Republican employee
in. the state house has been deposed
TO make room for some deserving
Democrat" Surely the people of
Idaho will some day wake up long
enough to Judge Nose Alexander by
his deeds and not by his words.

Senator Thomas Of Bingham coun-
ty has introduced q resolution pro-
viding for the holding of new con-
stitutional convention In Idaho.
The passage OF that resolution would
be about the wisest thing this legis-
lature could do. A constitutional
convention should be held if,for no
other reason, than to revise the
states legislative system by cutting
down the membership at least one
half. By doing this the state would
soon save enough to pay the cost OF
holding convention. Each amend-
ment that has been tackled on the
constitution, and there has been more
than score of them. has cost the
state on an average of about $4,000.
Thus 1t will be seen that in the neigh
borhood of about $4,000 have been
spent in amending the organic laws
OF this state. and this expense will
continue so long as we retain the
the present constitution, for each
session of the legislature submits to
the vote Of the people one or more
amendments. And. they are adopted
as fast as they are put up to the dear
people. Give US new constitution
or for heavens sake quit amending
the present one for few years.
Then maybe the people will come to
their senses and demand that a con-
stltution be drafted In keeping with
the times.

CHICAGO GRAIN

Chicago. May 29.-Grain prices to-
day developed material weakness after
an earlier show Of strength. The short
interest had been greatly reduced.
while the temporary bulge was in
progress. When longs attempted to
unload further they found little de-
mand. The wheat market depended
largely on the action or coarse grain
and was unsettled at the finish, with
July at 5000 and September at $1S3N.
Corn closed * to "a cents down and
oats off Y to rs cents. In provisions
the outcome was an advance OF AZ to
So cents.
Bearish influences. which had an In
dependent effect on wheat, were chief
ly favorable crop reports.
Trade in corn was large. Crop pros :,
poets remained good. Oats swayed
with corn. Foreign inquiries for offers
of meats and lard had much to do with
the advance i'm provisions.
