STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
MEETS AND DOES ITS WORK

Jacksonville, Jan. THE Demo-
cratic State executive committee,
which met in this city yesterday,
did its work we'll and quickly after a
session of one day. 1t was decided
that it would be irregular for the
committee to name the delegates to
the ST. Louis conventions, as had
been suggested because of INSULT
cient time between the primaries
and the meeting Of the convention,
and they will be elected, as usual, at
the primaries and The successful can
didates notified at once by telegraph
to leave for st. Louis.
The proposition to hold State
defeated, as was also the plan to ex-
clude candidates for circuit judge,
State attorney, court clerk, shell
fish commissioner, etc, from the pri-
mary on the ground that they were
appointed officers and such candi-
dates must go before the primaries.
A campaign committee will later
be appointed to arrange an itinerary
for the candidates in such a way
that each candidate will pay two
visits to each county, and the same
committee will arrange for assess
ing the candidates for the expenses
of the campaign.
The committee also adopted res
olution requiring voters in the DEM
ocratic primary to qualify as Demo-
Gratis before participating in the
primary and to require them to hold
allegiance to the Democratic party
greater and above any allegiance
they might hold to any secret, re-
ligious or political organization.
This resolution was adopted with
only one vote in opposition. 1t is a
matter of extreme Importance
throughout the State, inasmuch as a
tendency has developed which, some
fear. may result in an effort to de-
eide between candidates for public
offices on lines Of religious or seetar-
ian feeling.
President Wilson and his admin
istration were enthusiastically en-
dorsed. and his denomination urged /.

of the constant stream of japanese
who are pouring into Harbin. The
Russians deny the Japanese resi-
dence in the Russian concession;
consequently, they live in the Chi
nese section of the city. The Hsui
Chung Kuo Pao, a Chinese paper
published in Paking. gives the fol-
lowing list of the occupations of
japanese now residents in Harbin !:

tories q, hospital 1, drug stores 81,
hotels s, tailor shops Z, laundries s,
barber shops II, bath parlors 6, res
taurants 10, builders 4, disorderly
houses %.
This paper charges that practical
ly all the Japanese drug stores deal
largely in morphine and opium and
openly violate Chinese laws prohib-
iting the sale of these drugs.

Brunswick's nine saloons voluntarily
closed their doors Tor the last time
On December 81, and went out of
business. According to their state
ments they did this not on account
of any drastic laws enacted against
them by the legislature, but because
there is not enough money to be
made in the business to pay the run
ming expenses. One well known sa-
loon man declared that the whiskey
business was becoming a thing Of
the past and that the laboring peo-
pie were turning their money into
other channels, that instead of
spers ding their evenings in a pool
room or saloon they visited a NOV

fund is to be expended in five years.
The basis of dividing the appropria-
tion among the states is as follows:
Basis of Distribution.
First. One-third will be distributed
ON the basis of population, the ratio
that the population of each state is to
the total population of all the states.
Second. One third on the basis that
the area of each state is to the total
area of the United States.
Third. One-third on the basis that
the mileage of the rural and star
routes of each state bears to the total
mileage of rural and star routes in the
United States.
The bill further provides that the
state shall pay 80 per cent of the total
cost of the road upon which &c re-.
eeives government aid. The bill
further provides that these roads shall
be located and constructed under the
direction of the state highway com
mission and the secretary of agricul-
ture.
What It Means to Idaho.
Specific figures are not available as
to the sum Idaho receives on this
basis of apportionment but it is a
figure between that which Wyoming
and that which Montana receives. For
instance, Congressman Evans of Mon
tana has showed that that state will
receive the following sums covering the

THE sTEEN AND MILLER APPEAL.
Supreme Court Affirms Judgment for
Conviction of Men for Horse Stealing

The, judgment of conviction for grand
larceny passed on Earl Steen and j.
II. Miller was affirmed Saturday in
a decision handed down by the supreme
court written by Justice Morgan and
concurred in by his associates. The
defendants were charged with the
theft of certain horses. They appealed
from the judgment and assigned as
error the action of the court in deny
ing their motion to quash the jury
panel, in overriding the names of GER
tain witnesses upon the information
and the insufficiency of the evidence
I to sustain the conviction.
The case was tried before Judge
Steele. The supreme court concludes
its decision as follows:
cit was not error for the court to
permit the prosecuting attorney to in
dOrse the names of witnesses on the in
formation after it was filed and be
fore going to trial. 1t does not appear
that appellants were surprised, or suf-
fered any disadvantage by this action
Appellants claimed to have been the
owners Oh the horses which they were
accused of stealing. The testimony as
to ownership was very conflicting. The
rule in this state, in criminal as well
as civil cases, is that where there is a
substantial conflict in the evidence and,
taken as a whole, it is su1rlcient TO
sustain the verdict. Judgment based
thereon will not be disturbed upon
appeal. We ind the evl.
dence ample in this case to support the
verdict The Judgment of the trial
court is affirmed. Capital News.

OF freight. They made the trip in
wagons over what is caller the Zig Tag

travel on foot five or six wears ago.
There is no road there but the trail is
in fair condition, however, it is rather
risky business travelling over it with
loaded wagons
