w. A. Mouer, state land commits
sloner, has been asked by a majority
fot members of the state land board

OF Maricopa county, former county

employed in the land office is said
to be slated for the position of depu-
ty land commissioner, now held by
Ben Clark.
The action of the majority of the
board in asking for the resignation of
Mouer does not come as a surprise to
democratic politicians as there has
Teen rumOrs about the state house
sor several weeks that such action
was pending. These rumors had the
attorney general as the leader in the
movement, backed by the auditor and
treasurer and strongly opposed by the
secretary of state. Mitt Sims.
The letter asking for the resigna-
Ion is said to-have been drafted on
Monday and sent through the mails
by special delivery. The land com
missioner was in Tucson on business
and it is stated was informed by long
distance phone Tuesday night and
vas at his office Wednesday morning.
When asked for a statement in re-
gard to the matter Commissioner
AIouer declined to make one. He
stated that he had nothing whatever
to say in regard to any matters other
than those pertaining to the business
Of the office, and that when he has
something, to say he will do so in the
form of a signed statement to the
press. This, he said. was his in
variable rule
The regular session of the land
board was to have been held Tuesday
morning, but there was no meeting.
Auditor Boyce is laid up at his home
from slight operation on his leg and
Treasurer Ross and Attorney General
Jones were not present. An effort to
hold a meeting yesterday afternoon
also failed.
Gov. Campbell. the only Republican
member Of the board, who was not
consulted in the matter of asking for
the resignation, was scheduled to
leave the city Wednesday to go to ST.
Davids. 1t is stated that no meeting
of the board will be held on either
Thursday or Friday in his absence
While the letter to the land COM
missioner asking for his resignation
has not been made public it is stated
that it sets forth that the commits
sioner has been unable, on account
Iof the condition of his health. to keep
in as close touch with the affairs of
his office as is required for the good
of the service.-Gazette.

King Johns Bath.

AS to the washing habits of royalty
in former times, there is one thing, at
least, to be remembered TO King
Johns credit. His accounts show that
that constantly travelling king nearly
always had a bath at his resting
places during his Journeys.
His "water man" could generally
reckon upon getting the bath fee of
hyepence. For to our early king, as
to the modern sojourners in most no.
tells, bath was officially accounted
as an extra, to be paid for as such.
The royal water man obtained his
special fee every time his majesty de-
manded a bath-except upon the three
great church festivals. - London
Chronicle.

LIKE most Of the other states, Idaho
has no law giving the rank and file of
the political parties voice 10 the
selection Of candidates for president.
Tae power to nomiuate is, in man
ner, delegated. Precinct committee
IN ~ elected eghteen months before
or their proxies, comprising the
county central committees, meet and
select delegates from the counties to
the special state conventions which
in turn pick the state delegates to
the national conventions. The
preference Of the committeeman,
rather than that Of the people, is
supposed to be transmitted to the
county delegates and by them to the
state delegates. The republican
special convention for Idaho was held
April %, eight delegates being
elected TO 90 to the national conven-
ton in Chicago, June 8 1t happens
that these delegates will go
uninstructed, but it was within the
power of the convention to have
instructed the delegates to vote for
the candidate preferred by the
majority 10 the state convention had
such step been deemed wise or
expedent The special state
convention OF the democratic party
Is to be held at Lewiston, June Is, to
choose eight delegates from Idaho to
the national nventlon of that party
at San Francisco, June %. The
voters will have their innings in
November. when it becomes their
duty to elect president, choosing
one of the men who are to be nomi-
mated by these national conventions.

Our War With Mexico.

The Mexican war of 1886 lasted
nearly two years. The first actual col
lision and bloodshed was on April %
1916, between band of Mexican
troops that had crossed the Rio Grande
and a company of American soldiers.
On May II, 1916, President Polk sent
a special message to congress reciting
the facts and grievances, and said ::
AS war exists, and, Notwithstanding
all our efforts to avoid 1t, exists by the
net of Mexico herself, we are called
upon by every consideration of duty
and patriotism to vindicate with de-
cision the honor, the rights and the
interests Of our country" During 1s46

When Did Civil War End?

Ask anybody the date of the Civil
wars end. The answer will invariably
be: April, 1865" But, in literal
sense, that answer is all wrong,
The supreme court declared that the
Civil war came to an end "at the Pc
Rod designated in the proclamation of
the president of the United States"
That proclamation was dated AprIl
:, 1866. Thus the Civil war came to
formal conclusion on that date. not
in April of 1865.
Up to and before that date" fApril

According to Mrs. Moore, Davis
complained OF being sick and suf-

when he arose this morning. She
said he took a dose OF salhepat-
lea to relieve his condition. Then
he went back to bed for a while,
arising the second time between s
and 9 o'clock and going outside,
presumably to the outbullding
where he was found. Becoming
uneasy at his prolonged absence
Mrs. Moore called to him and re-
ceiving no answer, she went to in
vestigate. The door was open and
Davis was kneeling on the floor in
a cramped position. She then called
a neighbor who in turn discovered
