ct.
The speaker discussed national
questions. especially cotton gam
bling, which he said would soor
come before the Senate. He told
of his efforts in trying to get more
rural routes; that next to the new
state of Oklahoma, Mississippi,
with seventy approved yet not es-
tablished routes, stands FIRST among
the states of the Union with such
unestablished rural routes. He told
of the need of experiment stations,
comparing unfavorably the United
States with France in this respect.
He said these vital questions do
not require knowledge of poetry,
etc., but the more important knowl-
edge of business.
Being a planter himself. he feels
that he is qualified to represent the
state.
He said that Major Vardaman,
while not on the stump. is before
the people in his personal organ,
The Issue. He read an extract
from this paper in regard to the
reference to Southern congressman.
His criticism along this line was
sarcastic and severe, and brought
forth applause.
He said in reference to the legis-
lative caucus that every senatorial
candidate was in favor Of it; that
an overwhelming majority of the
representatives voted for it; that
Speaker Street was chosen uuani-
mously chairman.
He said that If voted according
to the counties of the state, Var
daman would have been defeated.
That all United States senator's
from this state were nominated by
caucus; that Vardaman had partic-
ipated in one of these caucuses;
that Vardaman was present and ia.
vored the caucus and secret ballot
when H. D. Money was nominated.
He supported Money. He said if
Nardaman had been nominated
there would have been no COM
plant against the caucus. He said
that when the report was circulat-
ed that money had been used, the
Legislature threw open the inves-
tigation to everyone. He then
read the resolution unanimously
declaring that Percy's nomination
was secured absolutely without
corruption, which resolution was
introduced by Emmet Cavitt,
strong Vardaman man. After dis
cussing the proposed primary for
this year, and the declining of Ma
ior Vardaman to meet his oppon-
ents In joint debate, and the conse-
quent calling off of the primary,
Senator Percy said that Vardaman
has the right to carry OH his cam
paign by representatives, but that,
inexperienced politician that he Is,
he knows that Vardaman can new
er be elected by having discred-
tied, characterless representative.
Mr.. Percy then took up the race
question, and never before In the
history Of this section has there
been a finer deliverance on this
subject. He, amid great applause,
asked if Mississippians are going to
declare to the world that they can
not settle this question, and ask a
Republican North to settle 1t for
them. Or are Mississippians going
to say that their children are going
to be inferior in this respect to
them3

'UPREME COURT UPHOLDS
LOCAL OPTION LAW
lection Machinery IS Complete and the Legis-
htive Enactment Must Stand-0ther Issues
Must Come up Later.

The supreme court of the state
handed down an OPINION Tuesday,
upholding the constitutionality of
the local option law enacted by the
Tenth session of the Legislature and
under which Il of the 28 counties
of the state have voted prohibition.
The court holds the machinery for
the special elecalons perfect and in
dependant of provisions for the en-
forcement of the statute in carrying
out the will of the people. Should
any of these be found void or un-
constitutional the act in it's entirety,
it is asserted, would not be affected.
The opinion is distinct victory for
the local option forces.
Cases from both Cany on and Lat
ah counties were involved in the ap-
peal. The opinion is written in the
case of Thomas Gillesby VS.. the
Board of county com I'M issioners of
Canyon county and the Latah coun-
ty appeal governed by the same rul-
ing. Gilesby appealed from the
action of the board in ordering a
special election. The district court
refused to grant the relief sought
and the case was appealed to the
supreme court.
The opinion is written by Justice
Stewart and concurred in by Chief
Justice Sullivan and Justice ALL
shie.
Questions of the invasion rights
of citizens, conflict with the inter
state commerce laws and discrimin-
alton raised by Attorneys Karl
Paine and Edwin. Snow, as counsel
for the liquor interests in the state.
are not considered by the court foI
the reason that they were based on
provisions for enforcement of the
etatute.
In explaining this position the
opinion states: s'And when some
persOn sells or disPoses of intoxi-
cpung liquors In = county where
ne electors haye voted that such
le and disposition shall be pro.
bited, and such person is charged

CONDUCTOR HOLDEN
KILLED BY THE CARS

Within the past ten months FIVE
of Montpeller's popular railroad
men have met accidental deaths,
and with the exception of George
PiersoD, all were old men in the
company's service. The last one
to meet a horrible and instant death
was Conductor James Holden, who
was killed in the Pocatello yards at
an early hour last Monday morning.
The Pocatello Tribune gives the
following account Of the deplorable
accident:
"James Holden, freight conduct
or on the Oregon Short Line, was
crushed to death beneath the wheels
of switch engine In the yards here
at 5:54 this morning Whether Mr..
Holden slipped on the ice and fell
under the engine or tried to step on
TO the running board and missed,
will probably never be known.
"The engine pulling Holden's ca.
boose, was coming down the main
line and Mr.. Holden evidently meant
to ride it down to the first switch,
but must have misiudged the dis.
tance, or the speed, or slipped. The
accident occurred at the water tank,
and the mangIed body was carried
to point few feet from the first
main line switch, distance about
two hundred yards. Death wac in
Simultaneous.
"Mr. Holden's connection witt
the Short Line began many years
Iago and included several years, WORK
in different yards, ten years. service
as a brakeman, and five years ser
vice as conductor.
"He was cosidered very careful
man and railroad men are therefore
inclined to think the accident mus
have been the result Of the slippery
condition OF the gronnd, causing
him to lose his balance.
| Mr.. Holden was abont 40 years Of
age. He was held in high esteem
by his fellow employees, and wal
considered as one OF the best freighi
conductors on the Idaho division.
He was a member Of the Order o.

ANOTHER PIONEER
CALLED BY DEATH

By the death of David King,
which occurred at his home in Lib.
erty on Sunday. Jan. 2sd, Bear
Lake county has lost another one of
lts pioneers.
Deceased lacked just two months
of being 80 years of age. He was
a native of England, but came to
this country when young man.
He was one of the pioneers of Salt
Lake and from there he came to
Liberty in June 1858 and settled on
the land where he has ever since re.
sided.
Mr.. King wss man of quiet, bat
kindly disposition, and was held in
the highest esteem by all who knew
HIM.
While age had been gradually
making inroads on his constitution,
yet he waS in comparatively good
health up to Monday evening, Jau.
II, when he was compelled 10 take
to bis bed. From that time his
strength rapidly failed him and on
Sunday evening his spirit took flight
TO It's eternal home.
An aged wife and eight grown
children servive him. All but two
reside in this county-one son, Thos
resides at Twin Falls, and dauRh-
ter, Mrs. Thomas Moore, lives in
Canada.
His funeral was held IN the Lib
erty meeting house Wednesday
afternoon, and hundreds of his
neighbors and friends from different
parts of the county gathered to pay
last respects to one whom they had
known SO long and esteemed so
highly. The speakers all referred
to the faithful christian life deceased
had led and of the true brotherly
spirit that he at all times manifest.

a building and loan association and
the Examiner would like TO see such
an organization perfected. It would
afford an opportunity for many of
our citizens to obtain funds with
which &c. bulid homes and enable
them TO pay for their homes on
monthly installments that would fall
no heavier on them than the rent
which thy are now payiny. It would
be the means of putting money in
to action here that would otherwise
lay idle.

In passing upon the question OF
the application of the provisions Of
the general election laws, the court
calls attention to the contention OF
counsel for the appellent that the
case of Knight vs.. Trigg was anal
ogOus. In that case the court held
there was no provision in the enact
ment, by the Tenth session of the
Legislature, creating the Eight judi
cial district for, an election and thai
the general election laws would not
apply.
elm that case" the court states,
ssthe court had under consideration
an act creating the Eighth judicia
district, and held section two of the
same unconstitutional because it at
tempted to fix the qualification OF
voters different from that fixed by
the constitution, and because of tho
uncertainty, ambiguity and incom-
pleteness of the act in prescribing
the procedure for the registration OF
voters for such election and duties
to be discharged by the officers un-
der the act. We, however, think
that a clear distinction will readily
appear between the provisions oi
that act and the provisions of the
| act now under consideration by q
comparison of the two. In the 9Th
judicial district act 'All persons
| registered as voters at the last gen.
er1l election, and such other quail.
fed voters as may offer themselves
for registration to lhe several regis
trars of said counties prior To tn,
day specified for holding said elec
tion, shall be qualified to vote there
at While under the local option
! statute. The qualifications of vot
ers shall be the same as in genera
elections. n and no person
shall be permitted to vote at s
special election called under thli
act, unless he is duly registered al
required by law.
! "Thus it will be seen that under
the Eight judicial district act tb,
Legislature attempted to fix the quail
fication of voters different from tina
fixed by the constitution; while un-
der the local option statute tn,
qualification of voters is that fixed
for general election, in othe
words, the constitutional auallfca
tIon."

FIELDING WINS FOUR
STRAIGHT GAMES
Husky Paris Lads Defeat Basket Ball Teams at
Pocatello, Rexburg and Shelly--Given Roy

Paris, Jan. 26--The Fielding
Academy basket ball team, under
The management of Instructors AL
led and Humphreys, left Paris
Wednesday, Jan. 90, for a trip
north, where they were to engage
III four games On Thursday after
noon at the Academy of Idaho they
entered the fray with the well train
ed team of that institution. Each
man met his opponent with q firm
determination to win. 1t was q
hard fought and energetic game,
and as one professor remarked,
"Whichever side got the ball, it
spun straight for the basket" AT
last final rush came and the score
stood 2s to 20 in favor of Fielding.
Then the ball was tossed up again.
John Ceilings, as center, jumped
and caught it and sent it, without a
moments hesitation straight into the
basket and won for Fielding the
glorious victory over the Academy
of Idaho, with the score 20 to 81.
The next game was with the Y,
M. @. A. of Pocatello. This was
not such a difficult one and the score
81 to so in favor of Fielding, was
easily won.

thusiasm, the boys of both teams
entered the fray. Rexburg had
worked hard, and her gym. was
thronged with a host of loyal stud
ents The game was also swift and
the struggle fierce but it terminated
in Fielding's third victory, with the
score % to SO.
The next, and perhaps If not the
most difficult, still the one with the
most obstacles, was at Shelly. The
place where the game was fought
was Ill fitted for a game of that kind.
However, at the close of the game,
during which there were hot infre-
quent disputes, the score was IL to
10 in favor of Fielding.
Thus our boys returned to Paris,
with brilliantly won laurels, and
Monday the students took it upon
themselves to entertain them. All
day the students engaged in loyal
displays. In the afternoon a mat.
inee was held in the gym. and IN the
evening reception was given the
team. On Tuesday evening, The
Sopbomores entertained all the play
ers and faculty. The gym. was
beautifully decorated in the class
colors. Delicious refreshments
were served and most enjoyable
time was had by all present.

IT RAINS SOME
DOWN AT PANAMA

In letter written to his parents
Oh New Years day, Lieut.. Gee,
who is now stationed at Panama,
gives some interesting statements
about that country. From the let
ter we publish the following ex-
tracts:
"Monday we left here about 7:eO

of nine inches of rain falling in two

ment. There is only one place in
the world that gets more rain Il an
Porto Beilo and that is a place in
India. The worst of it was, we
had to walk around the works dur
ing the day. The works consist of
rock quarry and crusher that fur
nishes the rock for the big concrete
dam at Gatun. They blast all day
and all night, SO the place feels like
an earthquake all the time. We
made up the following sentimental
duty which we sing to the tune OF
