Show Respect the Laws. We hear con- ; siderable now-a-days about respecting and obeying tho laws. Wo say em- j phatically respect tho laws! They are paramount, and judges have no right to constitute themselves legislative bo- ! dies to ignore certain constitutional laws and make judicial notiom UMirp the place of properly enacted statutes. Tho statutes of this Territory, passed by the legislature, approved by the governor and accepted by congress, are as legally binding upon judges as anything any-thing enacted by any legislative body on the earth. Is the law as it stands nnnn the statute book of this Territory respected by the present courts? Gen- 1 j tleuien, respect the law, by all means. |
