REPUBLICANS MAKE A.
BIG FIGHT IN FLORIDA

Jacksonville, Fla. Nov. Unbiased
political observers predict that Florida
is likely to furnish one of the big sur
prises when the results of todays cleo
tons are made public. For the first
time since the days of the reconstruct
ton, the Democratic party in this state
has been compelled to exert itself. The
Republicans, with a gubernatorial can
didate who disregarded party precepts
and who conducted his campaign on a
platform of progressive government and
business administration, are expected
to roll up the greatest total since the
days Immediately following the civil
war. Sydney ]. Cats. who came with

nomination. and who subsequently en-
ard bearer, is expected to receive many
votes which, in his absence from the

regular Democratic nominee. With this
split in the Democratic ranks, 1t Is ex-
pected that the Republicans will poll
their largest vote since reconstruction
days.

sites, little town In north central
Idaho, has developed most peculiar
criminal case in alleged infant muir
der, If the reports that have been re-
ceived in Boise are correct. A coron-
er's jury found that the infant daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. c. Rooney came
to It's death from smothering caused
by strangulation and that the same
was intent onal, having been per-
formed by person or persons to the
jury unknown. Speaking of the case
the Lewiston Tribune says:
The investigation Is the result of
statements made by Mr.. Rooney at
the office of c. M. Butler. Mr. Roo
ney came from his home and inform
ed Mr.. Butler and other men that
things were not as they should be at
his home. He told them. his infant
daughter has disappeared from his
wife's bed and that a rolled quilt had
been substituted. The story told by
Mr.. Rooney last evening and repeated
before the coroner's jury today was to
the effect that when he went home
he went to his wifes room and she
informed him the quilt had been sub
stituted for the baby. He said he
looked about the house and found a
bundle In a closet and he suspected the
bundle contained the baby. He said
he carried the bundle to the lower
floor and then reported the matter.
Rooney was accompanied to his
home by c. M. Butler, DIR. Wentworth
and number of others. The bundle
was opened and the body of the baby
was discovered. The examination
made last night by DR.. Wentworth
disclosed the cause of death and the
matter was Immediately reported to
County Attorney M. r. Hattabaugh,
Sheriff Yates and Coroner Blake. The
three officers, accompanied by Attor-
ney Bert Anger, arrived at 2:10
o'clock in the morning and jury was
Immediately summoned and the TAX
ing of testimony was commenced.

given before the coroner's Jury was
to the effect that yesterday afternoon
between 2 and 3socloclS, Mrs. Arthur
A. Howard, the nurse. was engaged
in bathing the baby and was sitting
in the bedroom with her back to the
bed occupied by Mrs Rooney. The
witness said Mrs. Howard remarked
about the room being cold and that a
fire was burning downstairs and she
would take the baby TO the lower floor
to complete her bathing. Mrs. Roo
ney said the substitution was made
at that time and when Mrs. Howard
returned the rolled quilt was placed
in the bed.
Mrs. Howard testified that when
she left the Rooney home the baby
was alive and healthy and was lying
on the bed with her mother She
said she was astonished when told a
few hours later that the baby was
dead and that the circumstances were
such that she might be suspected of
being responsible for the child's
death. She said she returned to the
Rooney house and is ready and anx-
ious to give the officers every posi-
BILE assistance in fathoming the mys-
terry surrounding the death of the
child.
Mrs Howard has resided in the
Sites section with her husband for
number of year. Mr.. and Mrs.
Rooney have also resided in Sites
for number of years, Mr. Rooney
being engaged in the meat business
here. The fourth adult occupant of
the Rooney home is a Mrs. Collins,
who is employed to do. the kitchen
work and look after the children.
The investigation did little more
than to establish the fact that the
child came to her death By foul means
The officers returned to Grangeville

state superintendent of public In
struction and the commissioner of ed
ucation to consider educational prob
lens common to all of them and to
the public schools. Every one Is
studying the educational problem of
the state as a whole. Each institu-
ton is striving to build itself up, not
at the expense of any other institu-
ton, but in order to perform most
highly it's duty toward the state as a
whole.
COOPERATION.
Cooperation is being worked out
in the following practical way-in
that one institution calls on another
for expert assistance and special SER
vice.
EVERY person employed In any
state educational institution receives
his appointment, his authority, his
duties, his obligations, from one single
state board of education, which again
represents the whole state of Idaho.
1T will be understood that the tran
sition from the old system to the new
has been an exceedingly difficult task,
causing at times no little perplexfty
and much anxiety to the members of
the new board and its employed Off
GERS. Nevertheless, we believe that
great progress has been made in the
short time which has thus far elapsed,
and we are confident that much
greater progress is possible in the
near future.
BELONG TO THE PEOPLE.
1T Is the policy OF the board to
recognize at all times that the schools
belong to the people, that they are for
the people and must be supported and
maintained by the people. In other
words, the state board of education
considers it its place to represent the
people of the state in the administra-
ton of the schools Its members seek
to discover the best will and purpose
of the people as to their schools, and
to carry out that will in the most eff
fective manner possible. This work
Is you work; 1t must have your atten-
ton, your thought. your support. II
1t is going wrong anywhere. it is your
right and your duty to seek to have
that wrong corrected. If it is going
right, 1t is no less your duty and your
privilege to give your support posi-
lively and vigorously to its fuller sue
cess and prosperity"
