TRAINING OF DOGS

Whatever may be the merits of
the spirited controversy between the
fish and game commissioners on the
one hand and the many hunted sports
men and dog owners on the other
over the proposed law to restrain
dogs from running at large in this
state, there are few fundamental
facts which should not be ignored
in legislation relating to dogs.
In many persons the love of dogs
is as strong and as ineradicable as
the love of children. They are gem
orally the persons who know dogs
the best. II dog is nuisance it is
the fault of his training. A dog
quickly takes on the leading traits
OF his masters character. He is the
most impressionable of creatures.
He responds quickly to any treat
ment. Treat him like a dog" and
he will act like one. Treat him like
a human being and he will quickly
develop human traits. Keep him
under close restraint and the brute
in him will be uppermost. Allow
him reasonable liberty and discipline
him sensibly and justly and the hui
man in him will appear. For free
dom is the soil in which all virtues,
both human and canine, thrive best.

The poor dog, in life the firmest
friend,
The first to welcome, the foremost

Whose honest heart is still his mas

Who labors, fights, lives, breathes
for him alone.

CRUSADE ON NICOTINE
Club Women Appeal for Aid In Check
ing Smoking Habit

In an appeal to the club women of
the country to aid her crusade against
the influence of Demon Nicotine
among the women of the nation, Miss
Lucy Page CASTOR, of Chicago declar-
ed that not only was the cigarette
habit increasing among the gentler
sex but asserted that the practice
among women had grown to such
lengths that many no longer were
satisfied with mere cigaretts, but had
become inveterate users of cigars.
She spoke in vehement terms of what
she called the "pernicious influence"
being constantly exerted by publicity
given to cigarette smoking by Alice
ACKNOWLEDGMENT and Miss Flea
nor Sears, the famous golfer and
social favorite of Boston. "The Gig
arctic habit is growing rapidly among
the college girls" said Miss CASTOR
and 1t is high time that something
was done to check it. The cigarette
habit has spread to Chicago, and it is
quite common among society folks.
But guess from all hear that 1t is
much worse in New York, and one of
the first things l shall do when I get
my organization perfect this fall will
be to appear to members of the Col
ony club. understand that most of
its members of high social standing
are cigarette users. Women are too
nervous to try cigaretts to quiet
their nerves, as many of them do"

What wonderful variety is re-
vealed! Take list of flowers, of
birds, of fishes, of animals; each one
is perfect of it's kind, and yet each is
SC distinct from every other.
Yet it is we'll here to observe that
1t is almost impossible to determine
which is the most perfect of the
things God has made. The song of
each bird is perfect of its kind, and
some prefer the lark to the hooking
bird, some the song of the linnet, or
the thrush, or the nightingale. Shelley
writes in ecstacy over both the night
ingale and the skylark, and the finest
piece of descriptive prose in the Eng
fish language-in my humble judg-
ment-dealing with a birds song, is
Charles Warren Stoddard's "Apos-
trophe to the Skylark." Here is a
bit of it.

whose contagious rhapsody accorded
all nature to it's theme. Those
golden notes seemed to shower out of
the sky like sunbeams Such fin

such ripping passages as comprised
the gamut of bird ballads,-vague
and variable as symphony of river
reeds breathed into by soft gales
such fine-spun threads of silken song;
and then gush of wild, delirious
music-why did not that bird-heart
break and the warm bundle of feath-
ers drop back to earth, while the soul
that had burst from it's fleshly cage
lived on forever, disembodied

How true it is that those who stu

reports of the scientists of the go
yernment are pictures of birds and
fishes and animals and reptiles and
plants that are exquisite in their
perfection of beauty. On the shelves
OF my library are thirteen Volumes
large, heavy quarto tones, bound in
brown leather-which look as dry
and musty and fusty as old books
possibly can. Yet at times when I
am ''shut in" and cannot get out into

A club of more than fifty men and
women living in Blaine, Washington,
who were formerly residents in Ice
land, where women vote, have or
ganized two equal suffrage clubs, and
the two have been united to work
for the suffrage amendment that will
be voted on in Washington at the
November election.

Test of Decision

The decision in part follows:
1T is argued that to compel voter
to vote a second choice, when there
are more than two candidats for the
same particularly when he has
no second choice-would be violative
of said provisions of the constitution,
in that it would interfere with or pre-
vent the free and lawful exercise of
the right of such voter and compel
him to vote for second choice can
didate, when he did not wish to do SO.
1T has been we'll settled by long
line of decisions that the legislature
has the power to make at least rea-
sonable regulations in regard to the
conduct of elections and the exercise
of the right of suffrage. Under the
contention of counsel the question
arises whether said second choice pro-
vision unreasonably interfere with the
freedom of the elector in exercising
that right.

As to Second Choice

THE language used in that part Of
section IA last above quoted, wherein
i. provides that the elector must vote
for both first and second choice, is as
follows: vote for both first and
SECOND choice if there are more than
twice as many candidates as there are
positions, The legislature evidently
had in mind that there would often
be more than two candidates for the
same Office, such as governor, lieuten-
ant governor, secretary of state, ETC.,
They no doubt also had in mind that
in the same election there might be
more than one congressman to be
elected or more than one justice of
the supreme court, and in county
matters more than one representative
from the same county For instance,
some of the counties have three or
more representatives. In that case
there is more than one position to be
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1910-08-19
Intention is Clear

1T will be observed fro mthe pro-
visions of said section that where
there are more than two candidates
for the same Office the candidate re-
ceiving majority of the first choice
votes is elected as such candidate.
but in case neither or the candidates
receive a majority of the first choice
votes, then the second choice votes of
each candidate must be odded to his
first choice votes, and the one then
having the highest number of first
and second choice votes is declared
elected as the. nominee for such Office
whether he has a majority of the
votescastsspr not. The legislative in
tention isGlsarly apparent from these
provisiodS that ifapossible each nomi-

THE clear intention of the legis-
Iature in enacting said primary cleo
lion law was to take the matter out

conventions and place it in the hands

an election by majority vote, and
ii neither candidate should receive q
majority Of the votes cast, then the
first and second choice votes should
be added together, the one receiving
the largest number to be selected as
the candidate. In other words, 1t was
apparent that the intention was to Sc
cure an election by majority vote
If possible, but in case no candidate
should receive majority of the first
choice votes or majority of the first
and second choice votes added togeth-
err, then, in order to prevent the nom
ination by party committee or con-
vention, it was provided that the can
didate receiving the largest number
or plurality of the first and second
choice votes should be elected, and
thus preventing any possibility of
failure on the part of the people
themselves to select candidate.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1910-08-19
Contrary to Intent

"a construction of said act that
might result in taking the nomination
of many of the officers away from
the electors and place it in the hands
of party committee and conventions
would be contrary to the legislative
intent; and in constituting the provi-
sions of said primary election law We
have in mind the we'll settled rules Of
statutory construction.
"The language used in said section
IA in regard to voting for second
choice is as follows: Vote for both
first and second choice if there are
more than twice as many candidates
as there are positions Said language
is acommand and indicates clear
intention on the part of the legisla-
tureto require the voter, as condi-
ton on which he might exercise his
first choice, that he also express his
wish as to a second choice in case of
the contingency that no first choice
selection be made. This is not an
unreasonable regulation.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1910-08-19
Disregard is Impossible

"In the same section we find the fol-
lowing command: Mark only your
party ticket. Is that language direc-
tory only? And again, DO not vote
for the same person for both first and
second choice Can anyone Lnreason-
ably imagine or contend that those
provisions are merely directory and
may be disregarded by the voter if
he desires to disregard them" think
not. Can the voter under said last
quoted provision vote for the same
person for both first and second
choice and legally insist that his vote
be counted? 1t requires peculiar
temperament to seriously contend
that said provisions are merely direc-
tory, to be followed or not at the
mere within or caprice of the voter.
These are commands conveyed direct
to the voter by being printed at the
top of each ballot, and he must obey
them or his vote will not be counted
for any candidate where second
choice vote is required to be cast. If
the legislature had not intended that
candidates should not be nominated
by majority vote If possible, they
certainly would not have injected in
to said act the provisions for second
choice vote at all. The intention of
the legislature which naturally results
OF is gathered from the context of
the act, from the occasion and nee
cessity of the law, from the mischief
felt and the remedy in view, is too
clear to be misunderstood. Said pro-
vision of the statute requiring the
voter to vote for both first and
second choice, where there are more
than two candidates for the same
position or Office, is mandatory and
not unreasonable.

Limitations Of Law

1T is contended that the definition
of personal expenses in said section
"a forbids person from expanding
more than Is per cent of the yearly
compensation or salary of the Office
for which he is an aspirant. It is
argued that said provisions are con-
trary to the provisiones Of section 9
of article l of our state constitution

Freedom of Voter

Freedom of Voter
After a careful consideration of
this question we conclude that said
provision of the primary election law
IL not in conflict with said provision
of the constitution and does not
abridge the freedom of the voter or
interfere with his right of suffrage.
The enactment of said provision was
a reasonable exercise of the power of
the legislature in said matter and not
in conflict with any rights guaranteed
an elector by said provisions of the
constitution. However, we think
counsel misapprehends the force and
effect of said constitutional provision.
1t is therein declared that no power
civil or military shall at any time in
terfere with or prevent the free and
lawful exercise of the right of suff-
rage. Those provisions evidently re-
fer to officers, civil or military, being
about the polls to NEEDLE with or in
timidate electors, and thus interfere
with and prevent them from the free
and lawful exercise of the right of
suffrage.
Section "a of said act provides as
follows: The person receiving a ma
jority of the first choice votes at a
primary as the candidate of party
for an Office, shall be the candidate
OF that party for such office, and his
name as such candidate shall be
placed on the official ballot at the
following election; Provided, That i'll
no candidate shall receive a majority
OF the first choice votes, then in that
event a canvass shall be made of the
second choice votes received by the
for said Office, and said
second choice votes shall be added to |
the first choice votes receivd by each |
for such highest number of |
first and second choice votes shall be
The nominee for such office of the
party nominating him.
