that Rich. supported Stevens in the

supported him in the primaries. They
cite the result in Rich precinct, Bing-

many other members of the Rich fam
lily reside, pretty much of the entire
precinct being related in some man

Millsaps ran right along with his

not satisfied the Fremont county
friends of Millsaps who point out
that though the charge has been re-

been used before Chairman Nugent
and Governor Hawley as a part of
the reasons why Rich should not be
appointed, Rich has never taken the
pains to give Millsaps, or any of his
friends. assurance that the democratic
nominee received his support.
1t is openly stated that democratic
members of the senate from the
southeast will take the lead in oppos-

name is presented after the first of

EDITORS URGE AMENDMENTS TO
DIRECT PRIMARY LAW

Caldwell, Dec. 13.-The legislative
committees of the several press clubs
of Idaho met here Sunday, and elect
ed a permanent working committee
to look after matters of interest to
the newspapermen during the coming
legislature. The following well
known editors were selected. James
H. Wal is, Rexburg; F. G. Burroughs,
Caldwell; Mark A. Bates, Parma; o.
Fl. Barber, American Falls; Clarence
C. Dietrich, Weiser. This committee
met and organized by. electing j. II.
Wallis, chairman, and F. G.. Bur-
roughs, Sc rotary and treasurer. A
per legislation took place, and also
matters of general public interest.
The result of this was the promulga-
ton and unanimous adoption of the
following resolutions:
lISJ.. we ChuOio DC thO WI W
the revenue and tax commission ap-
pointed at the recent convention Of
the county commissioners in its eff
forts towards revision of the revenue
laws of the state, and recommend as
a part of such revision the publica-
ton of the assessment rolls of the
various counties in a similar manner
as delinquent tax lists are published,
believing that such publicity will be
an effectual bar to the under valua-
tion of property, and prevent the I'M
equal assessment that abounds in
every community.
Second. We recommend in the
interests of the health of the people

ing at which the Endorsements were
made was stormy one, and that the
conclusions reached were far from
unanimous.
Fremont is Ignored
= All of these officials have been Sc
lected from the wet" element of the
party. In fact it is generally accept
ed that none but "wets" will receive
favorable consideration at the hands
of the new admin 'stration. Fremont
county also is to be ignored practical
ly. That is, the county will not get
anything it asks and it will not ask
anything it will get. 1t is likely that
some subordinate appointments will
be thrown to that county, but If so,
they will be made as individual Offer
ings to the recipients and not to the
party in that county as a whole.
Bannock county also promises to be
ignored, though it has been stated
that there were no applicants from
that county for places in the incoming
administration.
Bingham Gets Nothing
Bingham county will get nothing
from the new governor" declared a
prominent democratic resident of that
county the other day.
Why" was the comment of by
stander. II understand Sam Rich of
Bingham county has the appointment
fer immigration commissioner.
Yes, / understand that matter il
settled" said the Bingham county
man in reply, but still insist that
Bingham county will get nothing"
!" If Sam Rich gets the place" said
another Bingham county man, he
will be unable to do but one thing
during his term of office, and that is
to draw his salary; he will be prompt
in getting that"
Not only is there great ill-fee ing
In Bingham county against the APP
pointment of Rich, but there is much
feeling in Fremont county relative to

of Idaho and for the proper protec-
ton OF food products that the next
legislature enact sanitary code as in
other states.
Third We favor a more liberal
distribution of public documents and
reports published by the different
state offices and recommend that all
such be mailed out public officials.
school boards, newspapers and min
listers of any denomination without
solicitation and without price.
Fourth We believe as a general
principle that the proceedings of ev-
cry public body judiciary or execu-
tive positions of trust should be made
public The enuniciation OF this
great principle involves publication
, of the proceedings of boards of coun-
lty commissioners, city councils,
school boards, boards of directors of
irrigation districts, and, in fact, every
| puUilC DOuy IHdI Hho pOWCi W dPpio-
pirate any funds of a public nature.
The publication of such proceedings
together with an termination of APP
preparations should be made within
one week after the holding of such
meetings.
Fifth. We believe that policy
of material internal development Is
fully as important as the exploitation
of our resources abroad, and in order
to promote such we favor the creation
of State Board of Agriculture, EN-
powered to co lect and make exhibits
Of bo;h state and county fairs and to
gather and disseminate such statistics
as will secure these results and rec
ommend an adequate appropria ion
for the use of said board.
Sixth. We favor the establish
ment of meteorological station un-
der the direction and management of
the State Board of Health, and rec
ommend the legislature to make such
appropriation as said board may deem
necessary for such purposes.
Seventh. While friendly to the
direct primary principle, we favor the
amendment of the present law to
secure the following changes: an
earlier date for holding the primary
election; the repeal of the second
choice provision; requiring designa-
ton of party afiliation at time OF
registration; amendment of registra-
ton law to avoid the necessity of
complete new registration at each
election by transcribing the names of
all who voted at the last preceding
general election and providing for the
registration of such electors as failed
to vote or who have since become
voters; removal of restrictions
against newspaper publicity and al
lowing candidates or their friends to
use the papers for publicity purposes.
but requiring such matter to be
marked advertising" and accounted
for as other campaign expenses; pro-
viding for the PRONUNCIATION of the
party platform and principles in adj
vance of the time of holding the pri-
maries; forbidding the free trans
portation of voters to and from the
polls; removing the restrictions pfac-
ed upon the candidates as to the
amount of money they may expend
for legitimate purposes in the fur
thering of their candidacy"

These are the appointments to the
leading positions within the gift of
Governor Hawley that will be made
according to authentic information
obtained today. The conclusion has
not been reached without straining
the friendly relations existing be-
tween the local democratic organiza-
lions and the leading democrats of
various counties of the state and the
state which has demanded and which
has been accorded the right by Gov
ernor-e:ect Hawley to dictate the
nominations even down to the most
petty clerkship under the heads OF
departments.
Even the officials named above will

fourishing salaries, but in reality not
one of them will have voice in say
ing who shall occupy the confidential
relationship of deputy or clerk in the
administration of affairs coming UNI
der their Jurisdiction. All such de-
tails will be attended to from the
office of the state chairman, not even
the governor-elect being abe to say
who will be appointed without first
consulting with the chairman.
The appointment Of Rich was
agreed upon some time ago. Other
candidates were permitted to remain
in the field for some time hoping
and expecting against hope, so they
affirm, but finally they were given to
understand that the selection had
been made and Rich returned to his
ranch near BlaGkfoot few days ago
with the definite promise given him
by Mr.. Hawley, by and with the con-
sent and approval of Mr.. Nugent. 1t
is understood that the dcputyship in
this office has been agreed upon, but
the name of the successful man has
not vet become known outside the
Inner Circle" 1t has been suggested
that it would be J. T. Carruth, de-
feated democratic candidate for state
treasurer, also of Blackfoot, but there
are those who declare that the de-
putyship will go elsewhere, probab y
to the north, or to an Ada county
man.
Hattabaugh, for insurance commits

prise This was supposed to be a
concession to George l.. Erb OF Lewis

county, and vice-chairman for north

week to confer with Nugent.

appointment on his own account, al

bill to modify the divorce laws OF the state. !,
This is only a partial list of the measures that
were voted upon in one branch or the other, or IN
both, and defeated. Of the vast number OF piiis
that were proposed and referred, but never acted
upon are they not written in the caiehdd,s
Some OF these would have been passed, dououess'
had they came to vote, but the session was Wv
short for the work and many pet measures by Leg
isators from various parts OF the State were leit
in the rubbish of the committee rooms.
But it was by no means a negative session. mere
were acts OF commission well as acts OF commission
With the exception OF the Byrd OIL Dill, all the
revenue bills were passed and it is understood that
the revenues of the State will be increased from SIX
to eight hundred thousand dollars. AT the be,
ginning OF the session it appeared that II wouiu
be impossible to meet the obligations OF the state
without increasing the tax rate. But the TACT IS
that the public schools, the public institutions OF
learning and eleemosynary Institutions ana the
expenses of government have been provided tor as
usual and liberal sum has been appropriated tor
road improvement
The General Assembly was also liberal to charity
work. Nearly all the charity bills, so-cailed were
passed. and it is most gratifying that provision has
been made for the care and correction of hayward
girls. In this connection, we commend the acton
of the body in making special arrangements Tor the
criminal insane and insane criminals. The meas
ures providing for this reform were reviewed by he
Virg1nian When introduced and more than once
given favorable comment.
We commend the General Assembly for estab-
fishing system of bank examining and public ac-
counting and inspection. We have contended Tor
both during long period Of agitation, and 1T is
gratifying that the inspection system has been IN
augurated.
The General Assembly has done wisely III taking
initial steps to allow the cities OF the State to adopt
simplified form OF government, and the passage OF
Governor Manns bill to coordinate the various
agencies in the interest of agriculture is, in our
opinion, measure of profound importance and
destined work great good for progressive farming
Another wise measure of the Governors origina
ton is the act requiring the railroads to pay then
taxes on November i, in order to provide ample
funds for the schools
The Virginians views on the failure Of the Gen.
erai Assembly to pass the Statewide enabling bill
are so we'll known as to need no repetition 1t Is
also disappointed that tax equalization measure
worthy of the name was passed But SO far as VIC
know there was no mischievous legislation, and il
is clear from the hurried review we have made o.

At the hearing before the general
council at Chicago, at which an or
dinance was drafted prohibiting the
wearing -hatpins-of -innrdinate
length, number of ladies appeared
in protest against the enactment of
laws regulating feminine apparel In
general and hatpins In particular.
1t Is a matter ,of astonishment to
us, however, that one woman should
have objected to the adjustment of
the long hatpin on the ground that
the hatpin Is woman's only weapon
of defense"
This seems to have been the only
reason for objection to the proposed
law. other than that the ladies
thought the city fathers had no bust
ness to NEEDLE with things that did
not concern them.
Perhaps the ladies of Chicago re-
quire weapons wherewith to protect
themselves from the unwelcome at
tentiops of the male population OF
that city. but II would hardly appear
that they must perforce resort to the
thrust of a two-foot stee4 skewer to
keep men at distance.
Down here in Georgia we glory in
proclaiming. the ladies have no cause
to feel the need of carrying a deadly
weapon of defense. If the women
OF Atlanta want to wear rapier-lik
hatpins to anchor their millinery cre-
attons to their little heads. we are
free to say that we are emphatica1ly
with them.
With ell due respect to the citizens
of Chicago. we must confess that we

Woman suffrage is beginning to
gain something of foothold in Jap

demanding more rights. 1t is because
the Japanese are becoming more and
more westernized, and are taking up
many of the habits of their Occi-

But a few years ago. before the
granting Of the new civil code, wo-
men were subject to the will of man.
They had three lessons of submits
sion to learn. and they learned them
so well that. despite the recent years
of more freedom. they still follow
abjectly the customs of centuries.
First. they were subject complete
ly to the will of the father. On their
marriage they Immediately learned
