What a Judge Can Do.

With what ease a judge can
nullify law is illustrated most
admirably by the outcome Of a
case in New York involving ihe
efforts Of the government to en-
force the pure food act. SIENNA is
q drug recognized by the Pharma-
copoeia, to which the pure food
aud drug act refers for the dehni
ton of drugs. A bale Of senna
was sold in New York, and on
examination it was found to be
made up OF IS per cent Of adulter-
ant matter. The authorities sought
accordingly, to have the penalties
OF the law for misbranding imposed.
Thereupon the defendants proved
what, indeed, was too obvious to
need proof, that between the word
"Senna" and the letters U. S. P.
UNITED States pharmacopoeia)
the word "broken" had been in
serted, and the plea was that since
"senna, broken, "is not otrecognized
in the Pharmacopoeia, the adul
teration was no offense under the
law. Judge Hand Of one of the
United States district courts Of
New York sustained this objection,
and directed the jury to return a
verdict Of not guilty. Thus it is
held permissible to adulterate
senna SO long as the senna leaves
are broken rather than whole, and
| that the use Of the word "broken"
absolves the vendor o. the duty to
state that they are adulterated.
This is an instance in which one
man, clothed with judicial power,
is able by the use Of ~ most paltry
| technicality, to suspend the opera
ton of the pure food and drugs
act, to nullify an act of congress
and defeat the will of the people.
1t is hardly necessary TO say that
by the same verbal trickery one
may with impunity exempt almost
every food-st uff and almost every
other drug from the operations ol
the law.-Les7iston Tribune.

State Press Comment.
Duty Of Legislature.

l Z ID -
Eight weeks of such so.called
racing as that at Alan is demoral-
izing factor il the social life Of the
community. Horseracing is not obs
Jectionable in itself, for il is splen-
did sport, quickens the interest OF
large section Of the public in out :
door amusements and helps to
improve the breeds OF horses. But
racing that merely is a means for
gambling and poolselling is an
injury to Legitimate sport and a
danger to the publicsy
European countries set an ex-
ample in this matter that might
proftably be emulated by the
United States. Nowhere in Eng.
land, though horseracing is popu-
lar at London and in every county,
is i not prolonged over week,
whereas at'Alan it lasts practically
two months. Neither is it prose
tituted into tool for ''bookmakers"
to cheatthe dupes who gamble. I
There is betting on the races but
these, and not ga,ntling. are the
main interest.
The legislature Of Idaho owes it
to the interests Of the state to stop
the racing at Alan. that only pro-
notes gambling and gdemoralizes
its victims. = Pocatello Tribune.

About the Encampment.

While on recent visit to Coeul
d'Alene, Adjutant General F. A,
Mccall gave out. the following
interview about the National
Guard encampment to be held near
Tacoma July I9 to 80:
"The Idaho regiment will leave
for Seattle on July 49," he said,
"where they will participatein the
military ceremonies at the Golden
Potlatch celebration in that city on
July 1o. Returning they will de.
train at Centralia and commence
nine. days of continuous maneu ,ers.
"The part that will be different
this year from previous encamp.
ments is that the boys will 60 into
the field as a part of an apparently
defensive army which is supposed
to resist the invasion of supposed
enemy made up of parts Of the
regular army and Of the militia Of
other states apparently seeking to
capture the cities on Puget sound.
Irregular troops from Boise and
Vancouver barracks and all the
posts about Seattle will participate
in the maneuvers, as we'll as the
militia or national guard of Wash.
ington, Oregon and Idaho. For,
the first time Idaho will send a
complete regiment of I 2 companies.
l feel sure we are due for the most
successful season in the history OF
the national guard of this state"

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION
Republican battle-ground This
Week. I
SCRAP OVER The DELEGATES.
TAFT Adherants Won Temporary
Craftsmanship. '

The national republican commit
lee completed its work at Chicago
last Saturday, and after all the con.
tests had been decided-a54 in
number, the standing Of the
presidential candidates was an
nounced as follows: Taft, sa7;
Roosevelt, sos; LaFollette, 36;
Cummins, 10; total 1876.
Contrary to expectations of
many western people. the commit
tee seated the "a Taft delegates
from Washington, thus repudiating
the King county primary election
which elected enough delegates to
give Roosevelt a majority in the
state convention at Aberdeen.
The Taft delegates from King
county were picked by the county
executive committee, consisting of
~ members. Tke fight precipi-
tated at Aberdeen resulted in two
state conventions being held, one
electing IA delegates for Taft, and
the other, ID for Roosevelt. The
seating Of the Taft delegation at
Chicago raised storm of protest
not only from Roosevelt, but from
many others, including Senator
Poindexter of Washington and
Senator Borah of Idaho.
In a speech at Chicago, Sunday
night, Colonel Roosevelt declared
the convention must be organized
without any contested votes. The
contested delegates, he said, must
not vote on the settlement of the
contests.
y IL made my fight square and
fair in the open," he said. IL
don't intend that my opponents
shall cheat me out of it,"
Further, he asserted that any
action of the convention, if brought
about by the votes of delegates
fraudulently seated, would not be
binding upon the party.
On une l8 the convention was
called to order by Chairman Rose
water OF the national committee,
and the Taft supporters put
through the first portion of their
program by electing Senator Elihu
Root of New York. temporary
chairman by a vote of 558 to so2
for Governor McGovern of Wis
consin.

SURE OF ELECTION
Senator Sterling Will Probably
Be Chosen on First
Ballot

Pierre. Nov i2.-The next legisla-
tive session viii start with twenty
three out of forty five members of the
senate, as old members of either that
body or the house, while the house will
open with about thirty five out of one
hundred who have been through the
legislative mill either in the last sas-
sion, or at some former session.
This will give each house a working
body familiar with procedure, and
will help start things smoothly.
From all which can be learned, the
two men VINO will be most prominent
as candidates for the ~speakership. will
be Morris of Sphinx and Stoddard Of
Turner; the first a lawyer, and the
latter a farmer. Both have been
members and are coming back with
ambition TO be leaders of the house,
and they will make a warm contest,
n from the south and the other from
the north. 1t is possible that other
ambitions may be sprung before the
meeting of the session, hut these two
have been anticipating the results of
the election. and getting their 'lines
out" for some time. While il is APP
parent that the Richards primary law
has been carried by a large majority,
the opponents to the workings of that
law are already talking Of attempting
to amend ii or absolutely repeating
it at the coming legislative session.
The man who takes up that task will
need to handle ii carefully If he gets
off without badly burned fingers. The
people have enacted that law by their
votes, and while 1t may show crudity
and need of oil on the joints and
hinges when it is put into actual
woi king, the man who attempts to
change it before it has been given an
actual test will find that he has a
rocky road to travel.
While there is some discussi IN of
possible opposition to Thos. Sterling in
the legislature. it will be found that
when the members gather. that opposi.
ton will probably have been pretty
well quieted down, but it is possible
tnat some Of the old liners may refuse
to cast their votes for him. But even
so, the indications are all that he will
be elected upon the first ballot, and
those who are looking for a fight ON
that line are likely to be very much
disappointed.

CAR FAMINE
Railroad Men Say Bad Weather
Would Hit Lines

Sioux City, Nov. 12.-Gradually the
plight of railroads in the midwest,
which are forced to supply an unusual
demand for grain cars and at the came
time to handle steady coal shipments,
is becoming more serious, according
to the fortnightly reports of the
Western Railway association. The
net shortage of cars in the district.
including territory tributary to Sioux
City, is estimated al 5000. This GOV
ers several states.
A spell of severe weather, which
would tie up traffic and force the
roads to give precedence to coal loads.
would result in a car famine. 1T is
predicted. Railroads continue urging
shippers of all classes of goods to facili-
tate movement during good weather.
Shippers particularly are cautioned
against holding cars longer than the
minimum time for loading purposes.
Gears are fol- transportation, not for
storage" Is the company's slogan.
Each shipper is warned that his tiny
delays may be chickens that will come
home to roost a few weeks later, in
case of a general tieup.
Grain is moving to eastern centers a
little faster than during October, rail
road officials say. The steady move
ment in October, however, served to
lessen the danger of a general dump
ing'' of grain en- the market.
Coal from Lake Superior ports and
from eastern anthracite and bituminous
regions is moving as fast as cars can be
procured. The traffic is not heavier
than ordinarily at this time of the
year, freight men declare. Sioux City
dealers are filling up with heavy win
ter supplies.

This is not the only loss in this region,

that some of the farmers are selling off
their cattle before they are ready for
market, rather than run the risk Of
turning them into the corn stalks.
Other farmers are turning their stock
into the stalks gradually, an hour the
first day, an hour and q half the
second, thus gradually increasing the
time. Those who have followed this
method have had no trouble thus far.
