sured for ll-considered and poorly devised
legislation. The freak laws which find
their way into the statute books are stand
ing newspaper joke. But it might be point
ed out that each of these laws, with but few
exceptions is the expression of worthy
aspiration on the part Of certain group of
citizens to administer social or economic
justice. The legislative experiment in d
given instance may very likely fail, but out
of all this welter of experimental lawmaking
IS bound to come some measure of bene-
fetal and permanent adaptation of our laws
to the constantly shifting and changing con-
ditions of our complex social and industrial
development
Now there is one field of legislative ac-
tivity where there is such a popular and
growing demand for relief that it is now only
question of method in achieving the object
sought. 1t is commonly conceded among
the members Of the legal profession that
our American codes of procedure, both civil
and criminal need simplifying and vitaliz-
ing, SO as to make them, under modern con-
ditions, really effective instruments Of
speedy justice. We are reminded that this
is the age of efficiency. which ruthlessly
relegates out-worn processes and antiquated
machinery to the scrap-heap. The question
is asked, why not breathe into the dry
bones Of the law that spirit of directness,
simplicity and adaptability which has proved
so fruitful in latter day industry and
science?
But however this may be. and however
desirable such reform, we are warned by
others that for long time it is not likely
to make much Roadway in any of the states
OF the conservative and tradtion-infestei
east Some one of our forward looking,
western legislatures. it is predicted. will
probably ere long take the initiative in this
field. Why then should it not be the legs-
lature Of the state of Idaho? A beginning
at least might be made on some of the
lines discussed at the recent meeting OF our
state bar association.

7. H. RICHARDS

That which each of us really admires and
loves in an individual is not the person of
such individual, but the good he manifests in
his life, his intelligence, capacity, strength
OF character, honesty, fidelity, kindness,
gentleness, and many other similar quail
ties These elements are ever attractive
and constitute the real man.
The character sought to be photographed
briefly in this sketch belongs to an individ~
ual who has been conspicuously active in
our midst for more than quarter of cen
tury. He has not only left his impress for
good on the state, not SO much as a whole,
as on individuals struggling by his side IN
the heat OF contest, but has attracted ma
tional attention, privilege granted to but a
comparative few. Though never seeking
public favors for himself he has been active
in helping to advance others.
No one can listen to an address by Judge
Richards without being impressed that he is
expressing his own convictions. In what
ever field his activity may lead he is at once
recognized as man of merit. No less a
character than Senator Hepburn, during the
years that Judge Richards was active in
political campaigns, made the remark: NO
man in Idaho has SO much influence on the
public thought as Judge Richards
AT meeting held in Salt Lake in 1900,
known as ''See America Congress- Judge
Goodwin wrote the following in the Salt
Lake Tribune:
Some fine addresses were delivered
at the conference held here during the
past week. Without disparagine any
other, the speech OF Judge Richards OF
Boise was most superb. 1t took on the
stately attributes of the speeches OF the
giants OF three-score years ago-full of
dignity full of sweetness, full of
power. 1t thrilled the conference and
the praises Of it since its delivery are
unstnted.
There were many other notable adj
dresses. The impression given was that
our sister states sent their best men to
represent them. Their coming was
good omen of the success of the move
ment, for all that is needed is for the
best men OF all the states to mingle
more and more with each other and to
find out that the two best things in our
country are her men and women
Through sheer merit alone he was placed
at the head Of the American Mining con

ized body capable of rendering great serv-
ice.
In legal way Judge Richards is SO well
known that encomium is unnecessary He
was chosen district judge in this state
against his wishes, and his fitness for that
work is well expressed in resolution adopt
ed by the bar in this county in the follow
ing language:
Whereas Hon. ]. H. Richards, Judge
has speedily, fearlessly, impartally and with
ability tempered with justice and right met
and decided each matter of dispute present
ed to him, it is hereby resolved that the
members of the bar of this district hereby
express their high regard for the dignity
fairness and ability OF Hon. J. H. Richards as
Judge OF said court and his kindness and
courtesy extended to each member of the
bar. as well as the jury in attendance and the
litigants.'

CHARLES c. CAVANAH

Prominent among the members of the
bar of Idaho is the name of Charles c. Cav.
anah senior member and head of the well
known law firm OF Cavanah & Blake with
offices in the Idaho building. Mr.. Cavanah
was born in Greensboro N. c., Sept. 26.

the common school branches, but he early
had desire to practice law, and while il,

MANY NEW QUESTIONS.

In common with all new states, and par
ticularly those which have been carved OUT
Of the vast arid region in the western half Of
the continent, the supreme court of Idaho
the adoption of the constitution, and since
then it has leaped from five to nine while
has had to determine multitude of cases of
first impression Many new questions have
confronted our Idaho courts on account OF
the novel conditions existing in an infant
commonwealth, great part Of which was
naturally uninhabitable except by the arti-
fetal application of water to the soil 1t is
obvious that the juridicial experience of
England or New England. New York or
Virginia, Iowa or Missouri must be of sec.
ondary value in determining legal problems
growing out Of the economic evolution Of a
community in which rights to the use of
water go to the very foundations of its ex-
istence. SO vital is legalized direction or ir-
rigaton development to the prosperity OF
our people that the arid states have invented
new form of municipal corporation UNI
known to the fathers-the irrigation dis

legal problems, in the consideration Of
which time honored precedents of rainfall
states afford our courts comparatively little
assistance.
The development of irrigation law ii
Idaho opens up an extensive field worthy OF
employing the ripest talent of our lawyers,
legislators and judges when we consider the
magnitude Of the interests involved, the I'M
tried conditions which constantly arise, and
the necessity OF exercising both vision and
intelligence i'll applying those legal principles
which will insure a safe and lasting basis
for this Development
In other fields also, often largely I'M
charted, our court of last resort in this
state has been called upon since statehood
to erect landmarks OF adjudication by which
current litigation is constantly shaped and
directed Such are its decisions constituting
the very broad and sweeping eminent do
main provisions of Our constitution those
defining the extent OF the police power of
the state, those relating to the powers and
duties of public officers, those fixing the ma
ture and extent Of riparian rights, and those
concerning the rights and obligations of the
state as landed proprietor, vested with in
terests Of enormous actual and potential
value flowing from the donations of public
lands to its educational funds and reclama-
ton etterprises

STATEHOOD JUSTICES.

During the 20 years of statehood there
have been IL justices of the supreme court
One of these, Hon. Isaac n. Sullivan, en-
joys the unique distinction Of having been
chosen continuously to fill this important
position, from the dawn of statehood to the
beginning Of the present year.
Mr.. Bryce in his American Common
wealth has commented upon the peculiar
conditions under which the development OF
statute law proceeds in the states of the
American union. Each of the states, as he
observes, maintains a separate legislative
laboratory wherein experiments in the
science OF law-making are tried out for the
benefit OF all the Others For instance, Ore
gon enacts minimum wage law for women
which stretches the police power of the state
to the limit, or Idaho passes prohibition
law so radical in its provisions that it is
claimed the constitutional rights of the citi-
zen are infringed upon. What happens? All
the other AZ states stand by and watch with
lively interest the practical operation of the
experiment in the state where it originated.
They wait expectantly to see if it makes
good under the acid test OF the supreme
court OF the United States If eventually It
survives all the ills and attacks to which an
infant law is heir, it is copied with variation,
by the legislatures of other states.
Now the western states have taken very
leading part in this process of legislative
evolution-a part altogether out OF propor-
ton to their relative political or economic
Importance in the union. The reasons for
this are plain. They are not fettered by the
iron shackles of precedent and conservatism,
like the old settled eastern states. Having
problems of their own to solve, they are dis
posed to try new methods of solution, with
out much regard for the traditions of the
past. Equal suffrage, absolute prohibition
of the liquor business, as we'll as so-called
blue sky laws, have no terrors for them. Like
the apostle, they believe in trying all things
and holding fast that which is good
FREAK LAWS.
