THE HERALD is pleased to stand
corrected by the Kootenai County
Republican relative to point in
the school law concerning the dis
trlbution of the liquor license fund
The legislative report which APP
peared in the daily papers was mis-
leading. The fact is, anyway, that
each school district will continue
to receive 80 per cent of the liquor
license collected from within that
district. The proposition to turn
this money into the general school
fund, as the report read. and divide
it per capita, was before the legis-
lature, and had it passed, would
have left many of the town schools
in deplorable condition,

Federal Job For Mr.. Sweet.

The Washington correspondent
of the Spokesman-Revi under
date of March 81, says that "Sena-
tor Hepburn today had a confer
ence with the president on invita-
ton of the latter relative to the APP
pointment of an attorney general
for Porto Rico. Senator Hepburn
was somewhat surprised when the
president asked him to name a cam
didate for this office. but he was
ready with a man well fitted foI
the place and urged the name of
Willis Sweet, former congressman
from Idaho. Sweet was at one
time on the federal bench in the
territory and United States district
attorney. He is believed to be
well qualified for the position, and
there is scarcely a doubt that the
president will tender him the place.
Senator Hepburn reached Wash
ington from New York today. He
returns to the metropolis Thursday
and goes thence direct to Idaho"
