Measure Removing objec-

DEMOCRATS JOIN IN ACT
Allowed to Hold Caucus to De-
eide on Action They Wish to
Take-Defeat Anti alcoholic
Beverage Act by Big Vote.

The Fifteenth Idaho legislature re-
moved objections raised to the amenda
tory state convention primary law
Monday afternoon. Under suspension
of the rules both houses passed SEN
ate bill 1SS, accomplishing this. In the
house the Nonpartisans stood solidly
against suspension. While many of
the Democrats voted to set aside the
rules, some of them stood with the
Nonpartisans in voting against the bill.
The Republicans supported it solidly.
The objections were raised by Governor
Davis. The amendTory bill passed
was therefore a compromise.
NOT PARTISAN ACTION.
The union of Democrats with the Re-
publicans removes the passage of the
new primary law from the realm of
partisan politics and renders it unlike
~, in the view of legislators of both par
ties. that it will be used as a campaign
football excepting by the Nonpartisan
league leaders.
This amendatory act provides that in
the event county or legislative candi-
dates desire to enter the race for Of
flee they may do so by securing the
Endorsement of five members of their
party showing they have been affil-
lated with the party for the two years

party chairman, or an Endorsement
from majority of the county COM
mitteemen.

state primary conventions from the

gust. 1t was found that senate bill GS
did not give sufficient time between the
naming of the delegates and the date
for the convention to certify the names
of the former.
The Democrats objected to unani-
nous consent being given to place the
new senate bill on final passage. Fea-
therstone attempted to explain it to
the minority. Hitchcock wanted until
today to consider it. Young then
moved a recess of 20 minutes to permit
the minority to go over the provisions
of the measure. The motion prevailed.
The Democrats adjourned to caucus
on the bill, later returned, the rules
were suspended by a vote of 81 to g.

Lemhi and Pugh of Gem, both Demo-
Gratis, left the minority ranks and voted
with the Republicans.

CHINA NOT LAND OF HUSTLE
Traveller In That Country Must Possess
q Generous Amount Of Patience
and Tact.

Sooner or later, writes e. III. Wilson
In "A Naturalist i'm Western China
the traveller in China must dispense
with the comforts and luxuries of
modern occidental methods of travel
and adapt himself to those more primi-
tive and decidedly less comfortable Of
the oriental.
In the regions with which we have
to deal there Is nothing in the nature
OF wheeled vehicular traffic save only
the rude wheelbarrows in use on the
Chengtu plain. There are no mule
caravans, and scarcely riding pony
to be found. For overland travel there
Is the native sedan-ch and ones own
legs; for river travel the native boat.
Patience, tact and abundance Of
time are necessary and the would-be
traveller lacking any of these essentials
should seek lands where less primitive
methods obtain. Endowed with the vir-
tues mentioned, and having unlimited
time at his disposal, he may travel
anywhere and everywhere in China in
safety, with considerable pleasure and
abundant profit In knowledge. With
her Industrious toiling millions, her old,
old civilization. her enormous natural
wealth and wOndrous scenery, China
alternately charms and fascinates, irri-
tates and plunges into despair, all who
sojourn long within her borders.
