BRILLIANT LEGISLATOR
The constitutional amendment
providing for a district court for
each county and extending ita
jurisdiction to all matters of pro
bate, thus doing away with the
present probate court, is a garbled
and contradictory thing that re
flects no credit upon the legisla
ture that passed it.
The act provides that "each
county having ca t 2,000 or more
votes for govenor at the last gen
eral election shall constitute a
judicial district aud there Bball be
in each district at least one judge
to be elected by the voters of said
district at the next general elec
tion.''
The present incumbent in each
judical district heretofore existing
shall bo and shall remain till tbe
expiration of his term of office the
judge of tbe new district wherein
he resided at the time of his elec
tion or appointment."
The Amendments further pro
vide, ''all vacancies created by the
adoption of these amendments
shall be filled at a special election
called by the governor of Idaho
within ten days after the canvass
of the returns of the general elec
tion at which amendments were
adopted, and held iu said new dis
tricts, upon giving notice thereof
as provided for a general election
at which these amendments were P*
adopted, and held in said new dis
.h*,, r . 8i „„ g
»8 provided for a general election.
and said judges shall hold said
- .. ..
offices until their successors are
elected aud qualified."
XT , . . _ ...
Now let us see just how this is
going to work out; take Idaho 17
county, for example. Suppose at
the next general election, which
occurs iu November, 1908, the
amendments carry. Then as pro
vided the governor must call a
special election for the selection of
distiict judge in this district.
Suppose John Smith is elected to *
the honors by the people. Accord
ing to the interpolation of the new
law Judge Smith will serve four
years from the first Monday in
January after bis election or from 17
Jannary, 1908 until January, 1912.
He will look after all probate
matters and the office of probate
judge will be a thing of the past.
That is the only way to construe
the law.
Now let us turn to section 7 of
the proposed amendments, which
provides,
shall become operative on tbe sec
oud Monday of January, 1911,
and all causes pending in the pro
bate courts of said counties and
all matters of probate unsettled in
said probate courts, together with
all the records of said courts shall
be transferred at said time to the
said district courts of their respec
tive counties."
........ *7
Here is a great state of affairs.
Section 5 provides that all vacan- „
.I h I an J .
c ee shall be filled at a special list
election witbiu ten days after the
next general electiou and that re
judges so elected shall serve four
years from January 1909, and that for
the office of prebate judge be abol
ished and then here in Section 7 it ^
contradicts itsself by saying ''these
amendments shall become opera- or
tive on the second Monday iu Jan- ^y
uary, 1911, f^d that all cases peu- 8 "
. ...
ding in probte court aud all mat- 8
tere of probate unsettled be turned
over to district court".

If we carry out tbe provisions of you

judge should be in office. Then

Boxing Is an erxerclse which Is not
only of tiie most marked benefit In a
purely physical way, but it Is of the
utmost value as g means of training
tbe mental and inoral faculties. One
of the most unfortunate whimsicalities
of our very whimsical day Is the preju
dice against boxing as a sport and
exercise. There Is no sport In which
there Is provided such splendid exer
cise for body and mind and spirit as
In boxing.
The physical Influence of boxing la

brought Into active use. So far as
mentality Is concerned, the perception,
Imagination, Judgment, discretion, self
confidence, aggressiveness and will are
all brought Into active and rapid use.
The boxer who falls In perceiving his
opponent's intention, who misses In
Judging the power or reach of his blow,
who Is lacking In self confidence, will
power or aggressiveness, who fails for
one moment to remember all the weak
points of the man against whom he Is
working—that boxer is likely to fall, to
lose what we all value—that Is, répu

One of the greatest mysteries to sci

concerning the migration of the lem

tbe time comes for the exodus the lit

Scandinavia, allowing nothing to stop
their movements, which virtually
amount to a headlong flight. They
swim the lakes and rivers and climb
the highest mountains in incalculable

Inherited memory of a flight to escape
