NEW WAY OF MAKING LAWS IN CALIFORNIA. Over in California they are trying out a new law which is such an.‘r:uli- cal departure from the previous leg- islative methods in America that the will be watched with natlon-wide interest. According to this law the Legis- result of the experiment lature of that State remains in ses- sion thirty days during which time it must introduce all bills that are to be considered, and that is about all the law makers have to do dur- ing the thirty days except to draw their pay. At the end of that pe- riod they take a 1ecess of thirty days and go home, having priviously published to the people of l'ulil’nrni:t' all the proposed laws introduccd. | During the recess the publie is en ‘ gaged in discussing those measnres | pro and con, and thus the members | from cach county et a zood idea of | how their constituents feel as In‘ eucty t roact of proposed “ islation e Legislature then |1 [T | roiirty day .uui‘i dis of its Imsiness in accord- | and ith the wizhes of the people as | ¢ indicated, Wiy popular opinion can hold up undesirable legislation and put thronch that which is desired. 1t is a kind of referendum that ought to work well and give the people Just what they want in the way of new laws or repeal of old ones with- out the trouble and delay of a popu- lar ballot. If this California plan works all right it is very likely to be adopted in some, perhaps many, ot the other States.

Judge Parkhill, formerly of the Supreme Court, is the president of the league and no man knows better than he the defects of the present constitu- tion and the need for a new one. The address to the people of Florida, issued by the league, is a strong doc- ument and it will convince many thar Florida has outgrown her pres- ent organic law. —l One of the amusing weaknesses in human nature revealed freqiently to the newspaper man, clearly brought out by the following from the St. Petersburg Independent: “Only a day or two ago several persons called at the oflice and urged that this paper “go after” certain pcrsons for permitting certain al- leged evils. We told the visitors, who seemed to have a just cause for protest, that if they would sign their names to a card, giving the facts, the Independent would be glad to print the card. They withdrew at once, protesting that they could not be brought into it. They were willing te tangle up the newspaper but were not willing to perform the duties of a citizen. This happens nearly ev- ery day. The kickers want the pa- per to do the kicking for them and wre not willing to come out in the oren and fight, even after the paper bas led the combat.” is 0 No sooner do we learn with “ab sclute certainty” “the most suthoritative which it no room whatever for doubt™ for from sonrees’ “per- chont the ‘steenth time sinee Wil. oS cicetion Mr. Bryan ras heet lected for seer ol ite ow eabinet than that ¢ ITHEN il Vi that 1 ! 0 11 | 1 ARITR 1 | tout o I'i ."‘_’\ and i h t into the cabinet i i | wation it may t di it to convinee the palilie of 1 foet, 0 The Ocala Banner protoe: ainst the movement to ke Senator Ficteher out of the Senate wnd pni him in the cabinet ¢ azriculture, and makes the very ¢ nothing about agriculture anyway er could be induced to abandon his other and perhaps line of work, with only a four vears States Senate by Senator Heiskell, the Arkansas editor, appointed less than a month ago to fill iy a short gap until the Legislature could reg- ularly clect a Scnator. It was his first and last’ address, made just prior to his departure to make way for his successor. It is a strong con- trast with the limentations of Jeremiah, otherwise the swan song of former Scnator Bailey. Here it is: “My successor is behring down upon me with a writ of disposses- sion for me.
