feel that it is privilege to do so.

name and move that the secretary
be instructed to cast the ballot OF

This motion was received with
loud applause aud it was carried
without dissenting voice. JUS

clared the convention choice tor
Judge of the State Supreme
Court.
Up to this point the voting of
the convention had been of the
unanimous order, but when the
time came for selecting a candi-
date for the Office of State Dairy
and Food Commissioner, it soon
became evident that there was a
division of choice Dan J. Ma
larkey, of Multnomah, placed be-
fore the convention the name of
Charles Holman. who, he said,
was an active worker in Republi-
can politics and one worthy of
the position. F. E. Beach, of
Multnomah, placed the name of
J. w. Bailey, the present incum-
bent before the convention. He
declared that Mr.. Bailey's record
for years past had been an open
book and that the convention
would make a mistake if it did
not nominate him. Mr.. Bailey's
name received loud applause and
the sentiment of the convention
in his favor was clearly manifest
ed in the manner in which his
name was seconded by represen-
tatives of county delegations all
over the house. ->-
When the ballots had been
counted the results showed 2I5I
votes tor Bailey and I42 for sHol-
man. Mr.. Malarkey, who NOM
mated Mr. Holman, then rose
and moved that the convention
make the nomination OF Mr..
Bailey unanimous. This was
done.

the district nominees were pre-
sented to the conyention and rat
ifed. The committee On plat
form reported and the conven-
tion adjourned.
Nominations of candidates for
Cilcuit Judgeships and Prosecut-
ing Attorneyships gave rise to
several contests, but these took
place in caucuses and added no
interest to the proceedings of the
convention. , ..-. @

Finger 1Iurks.

The Bertillon Bureau in the State
Department Of Prisons was recently
asked by Chief of Police Watts, of
Boston, to identify. if possible, GER
tain dead burglar. A photograph OF
tie dead crook-who was shot in Bos-
ton while in the act Of robbing safe
was mailed here. The department was
unable to make the Identification. III
speaking of the matter Superintendent
Collins said: I'VE have never made
mistake yet in an Identification in all
the 1850 identifcations we have made
since the Inauguration of the bureau.
The Boston police had to photograph
the man after he was dead and our
department was unable to prove to
certainty his identity. although there
two or three pictures on file here bear
inS Il striking resemblance. We could
have identified the man without ques-
ton If his fingermarks had been taken.
That means of Identification Is unfail'
ing. There are now in the bureau here
the finsermarks Of 5000 criminals. all
taken since March /, 1903. We have
one line OF classified ton here which
makes identification by tingernarks
easy, and have found that this expert

ties Of government as upheld In the in
come tax cases, the opinion says that
between the principle involved in them
and the principle involved in this case
there seems to the court to be three
broad and plain distinctions. The first
distinction is fundamental The mon
ey exacted here is not direct tax, but
an excise. The theory upon which the
constitutional provision rests is that
an excse upon salable articles is paid
by the purchaser.
"The state of South Carolina here
stands on precisely the same footing
which every other dealer stands upon.
All that it has to do is to add the IN
ternal revenue excise to the price OF
the liquor which it sells and let the
purchaser pay it,
The second distinction is that in the
income tax cases tax had been ex'
tended to "a function strictly belong
ing" to state, lin it's ordinary govern
mental capacity"
I'm this case now before us the
money exacted by the United States
was not paid by the taxpayers Of south
Carolina, but by purchasers at its dis
pensaries; and it was not expended Tor
ordinary governmental purposes, but
as incident to carrying on its CONNER
cial business, and does not doubt tnat
the proceeds of the business lessen the
taxes of the taxpayers. All it decides
is that the business Of the dispensa-
ries was, intrinsically business and
not government; and being business
was subject to the same national tax
which is borne by all other persons en-
gagged in the same business"
The third distinction, the opinion
says, is that in the income tax cases
the money being raised for govern
mental purposes and expended upon
governmental purposes, thought not de-
fined, were in their nature limited. IN
this case there seems no such limita'

At the Smoot hearing in Washing

Chairman Burrows inquired: "HoW
many children have you noW?'
"Forty-two," was the answer. "Tweu-
ty-one boys and twenty-one girls. and
l am proud of every one Of them"
Senator Overman said that he had
pamphlet saying that Jesus Christ
was polygamist. Turning to Mr..
Smith he asked:
"Is that what your church teaches"
mo, sir" was the response. What
We teach is that Jesus Christ was de-
scended through long line of polyga-
mis:s through David and down to Abra-

With that Mr.. Smith left the stand,

State is liuuor Dealer.

According to a Washington special,
tn opinion OF the majority of the court
of claims delivered by Chief Justice
Mott in dismissing the suit brought by
the state Of South Carolina against the
United States to recover money paid
by the state as special taxes for the
sale of liquors at dispensaries, was
made public few days ago.
This, the opinion says, is believed %
be the first case brought before court
in which a state has united in one un-
dertaking an exercise OF the police
power with a commercial business.
The court decides that the excise tax
is not an interference with the states

that the federal government cannot
tax the states or their instrumental.

that the committee notes with regret
the failure of the state to appropriate,
sum of money for a state exhibit,
and suggests that the exhibit display
ed at Charleston be transferred to St.
Louis in order that some showing be
made. The letter states that Deia-
ware is the only state in the union
which has not provided for display
of some sort, and surely South Caro-
lima does not want TO be in that class.
The governor and others would be per-
fectly willing to transport the Charles
