elect officers, and being so the quail
heations of electors provided by the
constitution for general elections can
have no application hereto "
The opinion says that the legislature
must provide some process of selec-
tion of candidates to go on the general
ballot, and that the only limitation is
that the process adopted must be
reasonable. while the method here
adopted may deprive some of the min
orlty party of privileges, the court can
not say it is unreasonable. "
AS to the provision requiring de-
claration of party afiliation before
voting, the court says:
"No doubt the qualification was
inserted to protect the integrity of po-
litical parties. SO far from being in
unwarranted restriction, it seems to
US, if party integrity is to be pre-
served, this provision is highly proper
ana commendable and could have been
made with profit much more strin-
gent. "
AS to the objection that the law
tends to destroy parties, the court
says: This is a political rather than
a judicial question. and appeal from a
legislative decision must be made to
the people" The decision was
written by Justice Fullerton, Justices
Hadely, Mount, Dunbar and Rudkin
concurring. Justices Crow and Root
who were themselves candidates in the
recent primary election. took no voice
in the decision.

SUPREME COURT UP
HOLDS PRIMARY LAW
Lieut.-Gov. Coon Loses Out
In Fight Against Direct
Primary Law.

The legality and constitutionality
of the direct primary law, which had
been attacked from every possible
point by defeated candidates, notably
by Lieutenant Governor Coon on the
second choice feature, was upheld in
every particular, Tuesday, by the su-
preme court of the state, which in
cluded all the attacks that had been
made upon the law in the one opinion
The principal fight made against
the law was by Lieutenant Governor
Coon, who maintained the second
choice provision was Tot in keeping
with the provisions OF the state cOnstl-
tuition, and that inasmuch as he had
received more first choice votes than
M. E. Hay, he should b. declared the
nominee instead of Hay, who had re
ceived the larger combined first and
second choice vote. The court said:
"The principal argument against
the second choice prov sion is that 1t
interiors with the freedom of election
guaranteed by the constitution and
compels an elector to vote for person
other than the candidate of his
choice. The contention is untenable.
The elector has the utmost freedom Of
choice in casting his frst-cholce
ballots, though his choice will not
avail him unless at least 40 per centum
of his party agree with him.
ut was entirely competent for the
legislature to provide that candidate
receiving less than 40 per centqm OF
his party vote should not be deemed
it's nominee. and with such provision
in the law it was incumbent on the
legislature to provide some other meth
cd of nomination whenever a candidate
failed to receive the required vote at
the primary. ii.
On other points at issue the opinion
deals as follows:
"The right to exact a reasonable
fee for the privilege of running for

rle that fees in actions and proceed

LAND RENTERS SEEK
PALOUSE FARMS
Crop Failure in Other Sec
tons Bring Many Farm
ers to Favored Palouse.

This fall, to greater extent than
ever before, there are many persons
coming in who desire to rent land in
the Pullman region of Whitman
county. Local real estate dealers saw
that there is hardly enough land to
meet the demand from this source.
The shortage of rentabe land is
due to cause, which, though 1t may
Inconvenience the renter who comes
in, is nevertheless a boon to the
country. During recent years, many
persons have come in and bought
farms for the purpose of home max
ing, and do not care tc rent. Local
land dealers who have made study of
the situation, say there is unmistak-
ably tendency to cut up the large
bonanza farms of the Palouse, result
ing in the creation of many new
homes. and a permanent population.
The men who desire to rent land come
from all parts of the Northwest, but
more noticeably from the semi arid
regions, which were hit pretty hare
by the drouth of last summer. Quite
a number have come IN from Dayton,
among whom was Lee Bundy, who was
here last Saturday.

be constructed on the campus to ac-
commodate the pipes and wires. The
total cost of the extension of the heat
ing plant and the subway was esti-
mated at SIS, 900.
The board approved the asking for
appropriations for the completion of
some of the buildings, particularly the
farm barn, and the veterinary hos
pital, for which the appropriation was
not quite adequate.
Only one distinctly new structure is
asked for; namely, a small, freproof
structure IN which to house the her
barium and insect collection. The
herbarium is the largest collection Of
plants west of the Rocky Mountains.
1t consists of more than 60, 900 mount
ed and Classified specimens.
The insect collection likewise is
extremely large and rich. On many
accounts the loss of either of these
collections would be an irreparable
loss. The plant collection made by
Professor C. V. Piper contains the
originals of large number of species
from which new species have been de-
scribed
No amount of insurance would pro-
tect the state against the loss OF
either of these collections. They are
now in a building which is in no way
fire proof. 1t is therefore desired to
make a small, freproof structure in
which these two precious collections
may be housed.

Rains Save Money.

That the rains of the past week
have saved thousands of acres of fall
sown grain. and many hundred thous-
ands of dollars to the farming popula-
tion ofsthe Whitman county region of
the Palouse country is undoubtedly
true.
During the past month or six
weeks, as much as seventy per cent
of the summerfallowed land in the
region tributary to Pullman has been
seeded to fall grain, mostly wheat.
The extreme dryness of the weather
has been serious menace to the fall
sowing, and it is said that in several
localities, the sowing on the exposed
knolls has already dried up and died
Fall plowing, which had about
ceased, owing to the drynses of the
ground, has started with vigor, amp
from the present indications. there
will be larger acreage of grain in
the region tributary to this town next
year, than in several years past.
During the past season slightly
over $50, 900 bushels of grain was
marketed in Pullman, which is hardly
up to the standard of former years.
Prices for the best quality of wheat
has ranged little above 70 cents dur
ing the selling season, so the farmers
still considered themselves prosperous.

TUBERCULAR SPECI-
MEMS DISPLAYED
Will be on Exhibition at the
State College on Monday
and Tuesday.

One of the most remarkable exhi-
bitions of the kind that has ever
been placed before the public in Pull
man is the display of tubercular speci-
mems and illustrations, which will be
offered at the college on Monday and
Tuesday of next week. The exhibit
will be in Van Doren Hall, and during
the two days it is there. a physician
will be at hand to lecture. or explain
the meaning of the different speci-
mems.
The Washington Society for the
Prevention of tuberculosis has gath
cred the various specimens with the
idea of placing them on exhibit wher-
ever they may be desired by managers
of state or county fairs, or at educa-
tional institutions. The display con-
sists of pictures of model cottages,
such as are suited for the care of tu-
bercular patients, and specimens. The
general purpose of the exhibit. which
is already famous in many parts Of the
state, will be to give the people who
see it an idea of the nature of tuber-
culosis, and how it may be successfully
treated.
The model cottages, for example,
are arranged on the "summer house
plan, such as will allow the greatest
possible circulation of air. Letting
fresh air into room" to many people
means to raise window about an inch
from the bottom slll but for the care
of a tubercular patient, it is necessary
that the air of the dwelling be just
the same that is out in the open.
"That ninety per cent of the peo
pie in this country at one time or
another of their lifetime are affected
with tuberculosis is now a fact that is
accepted by the most astute investi
gators of the tuberculosis problem. "
says DR.. Else, a residing physician
of this city. "Seventy per cent of
them recover without ever knowing
they had the malady. 1t is the con-
tention of the Washington Society
for the Prevention of tuberculosis,
therefore, that large per cent of the
remaining twenty per cent can be sue
cessfully treated, if they themselves
know what the disease is. its symp-
tooms and effects, and when and how
to treat it, 1t is the purpose of the
society to educate the people to know
the disease this well, and the exhibit
is intended to have an educational
bearing in that direction. "

KNIGHTS OF PYTH|AS
IN SOCIAL SESSION
Members of Popular Order
and Their Friends Eat
and Dance.

Members of the Knights of Phythias
lodge in Colfax, Albion and Lewiston,
members of the local lodge and large
number of invited friends met in
Pullman this week in one of the bigg-
est K, p Publications that has oc-
cured in the city this year.
Monday evening nearly two hundred
enthusiastic Knights and and their
visiting friends assembled in the Ma
sonic Hall, and enjoyed music, and
singing of most pleasing kind. The
music was furnished by the Tucker
orchestra and |. A. Buckley gave a
pleasing rendition of several vocal
solos.
After the evening was we'll ad-
vanced, the merry makers adjourned
to the Odd Fellows Hall, where the
dance was held and there tripped the
light fantastic until the early hours of
morning heraded the time of departure.
Among the visitors were Harry
Love and wife of Colfax, DR.. and
Mrs. Mitchell of the same city. Guy
Grieves came up from Genesee.
The case of spoiled oysters which
was accidently included in the bill of
fare occasoned much joking. A
goodly quantity of the fresh and juicy
molluskes had been ordered from Spo-
kane, but as the shippers neglected to
pack them in ice, they arrived in a
state of decomposition. When the
bad news was learned, an "oyster com
mittee" was appointed, who speedily
rustled in several cases of coves. after
which the merrymaking went on.

unusual in the history of these two
churches.
Rev. T. l., Schooling, pastor of the
Christian church, forwarded copy of
the article to the Chicago Christian
Century, large religious publication
of Chicago, which has a national cir
culation.
The editor of the Chicago publica-
tion reprinted the article. and then
made a lengthy editorial comment
thereon. 1t is entirely probable that
use made of the article by the Cen
tury has given Pullman and the local
churches the most extensive amount of
favorable publicity it has ever re-
ceived from a news article.
