The court of appeals Of the state has
rendered an opinion that may prove
Of greater significance than might ap-
pear at first glance. IL rules that the
Odd Fellows widows and Orphan
Home is a private and not a public
charity, and is therefore subject to
taxation. Judge Hohson, who wrote
the opinion, said: THE purpose Of
the institution maintained by the ap-
pellant il to provide home for the
widows and orhans Of the Odd Eel
lows Of the state. II is true that in
the charter the object Of the corpora
ton is stated TO be 20 provide and
maintain a home for destitute widows
and orphans Of deceased odd Fellows
Of the state Of Kentucky and such other
of persons as may he committed 10 its
charge; bat what other persons may
be committed TO its charge OF whom
or by whom is not shown in the record.
The fair meaning Of the clause is that
the institution is TO be . home for
destitute widows and orphans Of the
odd Fellows Of the state and sach 9TH
err persons as they may commit to
its charge. In other words, IL is 3
charity maintained by the Odd Fol
lows for the benefit of such persons as
they may see tit to admit 20 its enjoy
ment. This is strictly . private char
ity and Is not exempt from taxation
BY the constitution.

Client in the war of 1912, there were
no lasting results to follow, but it is
one of the most celebrated scrlm-
images in American history. Old Andy
was great fighter, and American
rifles have spoken the death chant
well before and since but never bet
ter than on that day He was as
hard a fighter, too, in the other kind
OF war in which we are ALWAYS
engaged, and as president he brought
the banking power to It's knees, which
there and then swore 'by the eternal
that never again would it permit the
election of another man of Old Hick-
ory's Galore to the office of presi-
dent, and it no doubt felt relieved
when Lincoln was taken of Just as
the coming of peace promised op-
portunity for him to wrestle the
overbearing bully. Knowing the
sentiments OF the man, the same
kind OF denunciation was used
against him as since has been found
strong weapon to defeat the Andrew
Jacksons of very late days. In the
campaign in which the conqueror of
Pakenham was first defeated, by John
Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster visit

Jefferson, and for political effect re-
presented Jefferson as saying:

TO elect before the joint assembly o
the two branches, hence it is settled
that Mr.. Dubois will be elected upor

Monday at noon. While many looked
for an extended contest, there wa.
little probability of it from the start

The state is to be congratulated on
three accounts, in this early settle
ment Of the Senatorial matter.
First, that the Legislature will
have the matter off its hands at the
very beginning, without long and
consuming struggle under which pub
lie business is practically at a stand
still, the states interests in many
respects sacrificed and the ever pres
ent possibility of humiliatinq scandal

disclose.
There is every hope that the sturdy
Fred may bring the most exalted re-
nown To the state.
Third, it is gratifying to Idaho
that the democracy Of the state has,
as near as possible, laid the founda-
ton for the great reform Of eecliDg
senal oIs By direct vote of The people.
When the Pocatello conventions said
to the voters Of tie state that Dubois
was the choice, a pledge was made
which could not be broken except at
the cost of party destruction. The
choice suited the people and the re-
suit is as much the voice of The ma
jority of all Idaho AS if Mr.. Dubois
were directly elected ut the polls.
-Four years ago he would have been
returned could the contest have been
settled by general public sentiment,
and now it is well 10 see the demo-
cratic party ascertain and carry into
effect the will Of the majority. Dis
cussing the plan of convention nom
ination, the Spokesman. Review has
the following to say:
If The political parties of every state
will make the nomination of II United
States senator part of the work of their
conventions. and demand that the fight
FOR that high office be irreyocably settled
in the convention OF The party that wins
at the polls. they will have accomplished
n reform that will effect an increase of
legislative honesty. When the voter
through his primary delegate and his
state convention, knows that the will of
the majority is TO be recorded by the
legislature in the election of senator,
there will be wedding out of most of
The undesirable features of such elections.
Ii the convention does not nominate a
clean man for the place, the voter has
always the alternative of voting for the
oouci parry legislative cdnuluateS. Un-
der the present system, the legislator
uses his own judgement. He is permit
ted to traffic in support of sectional
measures and trade away the advantages
that should be given his home district in
order 10 further the candidacy OF his ia
WORTHY for the senatorship Ii his party
made 1t mandatory upon him to support
he choice of the nominating convention.
MS duty would be so plain that few would
1are disregard it. and suspicion would
Immediately attach to the man changing
