The greatest objection to the di'
rect primary law as adopted in the
different states seems 20 be thai
more democrats are elected thar
under the old system. In Oregon
much complaint is made about the
primary Law because Governor
Chamberlain a democrat was de-
clared to be the choice of the people
of that state for United States Sena-
tor last June and in November the
state gave an overwhelming ma
jority for Taft. Basing their ground
on this fact a movement has been
started by the politicians of that
state and is also aided by some Of
the leading politicians on the out
side to defeat Governor Chamber
lain in the legislature this winter by
getting enough members, who pledg-
ed themselves to vote for Chamber
lain before their election, provided
he received a plurality of the popu-
lar vote, to break their pledge and
vste for a republican. According

THURSDAY. NOVEMBER a6. 'os

Thanksgiving day is a religious
festival peculiar to the United
States resembling in some ways the
Hebrew feast of ingathering. The
first thanksgiving day was celebrat-
ed by the Plymouth colony after
their harvest in 1912. After this.
thanksgiving days were appointed
at intervals in the New England
and New York states. During the
Revolutionary war. congress recon-
mended thanksgiving days. For
years afterwards it was celebrated
almost exclusively by the New
England states by religious services
in the churches and was set apart
by the governors by the respective
states and was almost always on
Thursday. The day gradually be-
came a custom throughout the
western states and by some of the
southern States. Proclamations
we're issued during the civil war for
public thanksgiving days and since
that time it has been regularly ap-
pointed by the president of the Uni
ted States. 1t is almost always
the last Thursday of November.
The Nezperce herald. (Nezperce, Idaho) 1900-1957, 1908-11-26

Some of the papers throughout the
state are advocating a change this
winter in our election laws. They
have been changed a number OF
times during the past eight years
but it does not seem to make much
difference in the way they vote.
The returns usually show the same
results.

for the murder of Josephine r. Shep-
pard be proceeded with.
Samuel A.. Patterson, counsel for the
defense. Immediately made application
for a lunacy commission to inqnire into
the present mental condition of the
prisoner. He said there was evidence
to show that Zastera's mental condition
was not such as would make 1t safe
for him to go to trial at this time.
Justice Voorhees, said the application
was perfectly proper and that upon
filing of the necessary %affidavits by
counsel for the defense he would APP
point a commission to inquire into the
mental condition of the defendant. and
il he were found to be of unbalanced
mind Zastera would be committed to
an insane asylum.
If his mental condition were sound
then, he said, Zastera would be placed
trial for the murders charged
against him.
Zastera was taken into another part
of the building for examination by
Drs. d. M. Morgan and Harvey S.
of Freehold, and William II.
Hicks, Of Newark. The trial will be
until the report of the lunacy
commission can be filed.
