MASS MEETING
FIXES LINE
Repudiates Its County Convention
Platform

Rathdrum, Aug. 3l.-About thirty
republicans met here yesterday in
mass convention to discuss the divI.
sion Of the county and agree upon
lines. The meeting was called By
Chairman Shoemaker, who presided.
Joe Culp was chosen secretary.
That the county should be divided
was the sentiment Of every speaker,
but the question Of where to divide
was argued at length.
Delegates from the north end de :
sired the line as far south az possi-
BILE, while the south enders sought to
force the line north. Finally, by
q unanimous vote, a line between
townships IS and "a was agreed up
on, excepting Squaw bay, which is
retained by the southern county with
q jog to the south, including the bal
ance Of the lake to the north county.
A resolution was passed pledging
republican members Of the legisla-
ture, IL elected to support a division
bill based upon the adopted line. 1t
is believed Standpoint will be the cap
ital Of the north county, while Rath.
drum will remain as the county seat
of the old county for at least two
years when the question Of moving
the county seat to Occur d'Alene may
be voted upon.
The action Of the few republicans
in defining line previously adopted
by the democrats at their county con.
vention Is looked upon at the county
seat as Republication Of the republi-
can county convention platform
which simply pledged the Legislative
candidates TO division Of the county
after a Fight which resulted In voting
down an amendment defining the di-
vision lines.

In session at this place came ont for
division along the line between town

olution:
Believing that we express the sen
timents OF the people Of the county

division line, one which will serve
the best interest Of all people, being
as follows: Beginning at q point on

sid township line to the west line 81
Shoshone county; and we pledge our
legislative candidates to Entroduce
and work sincerely for the passage og
q county division bill along said
lines. "
In contrast to this open declare
tion the republican county conven.
tion passed the following resolution
which gave Rathdrum a show 10 re-
tain the county seat permanently 81
making the division line on Ire
river:
THAT tho republican party, ID
county convention assembled, does
hereby declare In favor 81 the divi.
sion Of Kootenai county BY the next

directed TO introduce bill provid-
ing for the division % said county
into two counties. and they are here.
BY instructed and directed 10 work,
vote for and 20 use all Legitimate
methods TO procure the passage og
such law.
Our people cannot see how few
men can call themselves together and
repudioate their party platform, aud
their action shows such bad fRith that
they have lost the confidence and res.
pect Of Rathdrum and our citizens
fail 70 see how either side can now
trust them.

SECONDHANDM MEN
HAVE TROUBLES
Attachments and Arrests Make
Burdens Heavy

Some excitement was caused this
morning by the arrest of VIM. Hanna
formerly of the Second Hand store,
on the charge of petit larcency The
complaint was entered by F. NJ. Case
on the ground that Hnna had stolen a
wagon and harness and disposed Of
the same. George Orr purchased a
half interest in. the business some
time ago but the two men did not
agree and Orr sold his share in the
company to F. NJ. Case, who later
purchased Hannais interest. In max
ing out the bill of sale Orr name d
the wagon and harness, and Ham a
did not. Case commended that Hanna
did not rightfully own the wagon and
that he committed petit larceny when
he sold the same to W. II. La Fay
ett The case was called before JUS
tice Russell today and dismissed by
him on a request of Prosecuting At
torney Whitla, who claimed that
there was no grounds for the charge
that Hanna was innocent of crime.
During the time between the buy
ing Of the place by Case and the ar
rest of Hanna, o. E. Barr, of Barr &
Chainey, commenced attachment pro-
ceedings before Justice Chamberlin,
ON the stock OF the Second Hand
store, for 1925 for bill owed to that
company by Case. For some time
there has been considerable trouble
between Hanna and Orr, and Hanna
and Case over the ownership Of the
stock.

A MINING JUDGE
Supreme Bench Needs a Man
Versed in Mining Law.

Like all other great factors in our
complex civilization, the law is be-
coming specialized. Practitioners
at the bar who gain eminence in
these days and who are most effective
for their celientele, both in council
and in court, are, as a rule, especial
~ equipped in some department Of
legal lore and its application to con-
structive work and to litigation.
Similarly We find that Judges on the
bench who give the most notable and
useful decisions are those whose line
Of proceeding, practice or judicial ex-
perience has run along some one Of
the specialties. Thus we have de-
cisiOns upon constitutional matters
which have served a. beacon lights,
and thus We are gaining in this utili-
tartan age decisions which will serve
as authoritative interpretations and
precedents through the coming years.
One OF the most intricate matters
which comes before judicial tribunals
II .he mining controversy In the Law.
There 10 no domain In which greater
The Coeur d'Alene press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1906-1907, 1906-08-31

interests are involved in litigation,
and no other in which a judicial mis-
take can be more costly. The min
ing industry IN the United States has
grown to be the chief; and its success
in special instances is more depend
emit, than is the success Of any other
industry, upon the ability Of mining
men to protect their perfectly defln-
lite and. yet easily assaulted rights in
court.
In view of the great growth Of this
industry, which promises in the im-
mediate future to far excel anything
Of its past magnitude. and which
promises to easily keep in the van
guard Of American interests, It
would seem only reasonable to ask
that a Judge we'll equipped in know
ledge Of mining and adjudication Of
mining law, should be appointed as
Justice Of the Supreme Court Of the
United States to I'LL the vacancy
which will soon be created By the re.
tirement of an esteemed member OF
the court. There can be nothing
extraordinary in the idea since CON
gress has already been considering,
and with apparently growing favor,
the idea of creating special depart
ment of mining and the elevation of
its head as q cabinet officer; nor can
there be anything extraordinary in
the idea when 1t is remembered that
the recent selection Of justice Of the
supreme court has been with due con.
sideration 70 the special qualifica-
tions and training Of the lawyers, 50
hOnored, in the various distinct de-
partment Of practice and jndicature.
It Is with these things In view that
Hon. Thomas Kerans has addressed
the public through the columns Of
The Tribune today in an admirable
letter, which forcefully states tho
existing facts and makes an earnest
appeal for due recognition of the
chief industry Of this region. With
out attempting to be invdiOus, Sena-
tor Kerans has named several distin-
guished jurists, any one Of whom
would be an ornament to the bench
Of the supreme court Of the United
Safes. President Roosevelt could not
render q greater service in this regard
than TO select some one Of these for
the exalted place; and citizens Of
Utah and surrounding country would
be grateful indeed il the suggestion
Of Senator KeaFns could find repose
in the action Of the chief executive
