WANTS OPEN S. 0. MARKET
Fred Schwed Issues Open Let
ter to Curb Brokers.

Fred Schwed, member Of the New
York Curb Market Association. has is
sued an open letter TO curb brokers ask
ing them TO unite in maintaining an open
market for quotations of Standard OH
securities. While no definite action has
yet been taken it is believed that this
will be accomplished by placing report
ers" on the curb to note the sales as soon
as they are made.
Over-the-counter dealers in Standard
oil shares charge that the quotations on
the outside market are inaccurate and
nave withdrawn their representatives
from trading on the curb An interesting
fight for the bulk of the Standard Oil
trading is expected between the two fac
tons.

FROM GRANTING
LIQUOR LICENSE

Motley Mercury: Papers were serv-
cd on the members of the newly elect
ed council Monday evening restraining
them from granting license to sell in
toxicating liquors until the contest
over the recent election is settled. The
injunction was gotten out by Frank
Sears and issued by Judge Roeser.
The date of the hearing Of election
contest over the wet and dry vote has
been set for April "a, when the ques-
ton will be settled whether Motley is
wet or dry.
It seems that it was necessary to
serve the injunction papers on at least
two Of the council members before
midnight on Monday. The papers did
not reach E. p. Adams, who is the at
torney employed by those who are
fighting the issuing of license, until
three O'Clock Monday afternoon. It
was then too late to get them to Mot
ley by mail and so he sent them to
Brainerd by automobile and Constable

Following the call issued by the
managers of the 1913 baseball team
for a meeting at the city hall Friday
night to discuss baseball for the com

salaried team to play from three 70 90
a committee of two will be appointed
to visit the business men and get
their views in the matter, as these ars
the biggest supporters of the team
The time for baseball is rapidly draw
ing near and if the fans want team

season is over they must act soon.

Chief Justice Stewart Dead

Chief Justice George H. Stewart,
of the Supreme court of Idaho died at
Portland, Oregon, last Friday, Sep
TENDER rs, the result of long Hines
at the age of fifty years.
Judge Stewart was elected in No
vember 1912 for his second term on
the Idaho Bench. Prior to his cleo
tion to the Supreme bench in Idaho,
Judge Stewart served as district Judge
at Boise. Through his death Idaho
looses very popular and able jurist.
The death of Chief Justice George
H. Stewart creates vacancy which
Governor Haines will be required to
fill by appointment until successor
shall be elected at the next general
election.
| Justice Stewart was horned at Con-
nersville, Indiana, in 1858. He grad
uated from the law department of the
North Indiana Normal school in 1886.
Until 1898 he practiced his profession
in Nebraska and then moved to Idaho.
In 1893 he was elected state senator
and in 1896 was appointed judge of he
district court of Ada county, In 1906
he was elected justice of the Supreme
court and reelected two years ago.
Upon Governor Haines has devolved
the duty of appointing majority of
the members of the Supreme court.
He recently appointed Judge War
rem Truitt to succeed James F. ALL
SHE, resigned, to hold Office until his
successor is elected in November.
No appointment will be made at
this time and there is a question
whether the law provides for an cleo
tion to fill the vacancy or whether
Governor Haines can appoint for the
complete unexpired term.

Don't Overlook the Judges

In discussing the situation with re.
ference to the candidacy of William
M. Morgan for justice of the supreme
court, A. L. Morgan, who arrived in
Orofino Wednesday night, said:
II am just completing a canvass of
the second judicial district and find
the situation very satisfactory SO far
as the candidacy of my brother is con-
cerned. There is one condition, how
ever, that is requiring considerable
attention and that is the failure of a
great many voters to express their
preference of nonpartisan judicial can
didates. In Idaho county alone about
one thouand failed to vote at the pri-
mary election on the Offices of su-
preme and district judges.
1T is generally conceded that
north Idaho has Jared badly in the
matter of representation on the var
ious state tickets. 1t has also been
considered for years past that the
north is entitled to one member on the
supreme bench. This right was ex-
pressly recognized by the governor in
appointing Judge Truitt to complete
Judge Ailshie's unexpired term, and
should w. M. Moragn fail of election
the north will be without representa-
ton on the bench after the newly
elected officers are sworn in next jan
uary.
North Idaho has approximately
third of the area and population
of the state, furnishes about one-third
of the litigation, and pays nearly for
ty per cent of the taxes to maintain
the state. Moreover we have, owing
to a difference of industries, differ
ent class of legislation from that orig
mating in south Idaho.
''For these reasons we are anxious
that no voter here fail to record vote
on the supreme judgeship. The names
of candidates for this office, as we'll
as district judge, will be the last col
umn on the ballot. In order that the
voter may not forget to vote on these
Offices, suggest that he or she mark
the names of the judicial candidates
first, and then pass to the political
column.
