20 LEGISLATORS IN
IDAHO BON AGAIN
One Who Recalls Mr. Hughes
Seeking Job in Law Firm
Now Is Candidate, Too.
WOMAN FILES FOR SEAT
Progressives Put Out Ticket Only in
One County, but Attorney-General
Decides Names Must Be
Written. In on Ballot.
feOlSE, Idaho, Aug. 19. (Special.)
The foundation of the. fourteenth Leg
islature has been laid through the fil
ing of nominations for the primary
election next month.
There are several hundred who wish
to hold seats in the House or Senate.
In the list is one woman, who seeks a
place in the House of Representatives.
The Republican candidates include
many former prominent Progress
ives, as Guy Martin, of Bonner County,
who is unopposed for nomination for
the Senate. Numerous veteran legisla
tors also seek re-election, as Senator
John W. Hart, of Menan, National com
mitteeman for Idaho of the Republi
can party.
No third party nominees are in
cluded. Nez Perce is the only county
where they were named but the Attorney-General
held that they could
not be nominated by petition, as wae
the case, and they will instead be nom
inated, if there is a demand for them
to run, by writing their names In the
primary ballot, space being- set aside
for that purpose.
20 Senator Would Go Back.
There Is some excellent legislative
material before electors in the vari
ous counties. Twenty former Senators
or members of the Lower House seek
election to the Senate. They repres
ent all trades and professions. Sev
eral of them are newspapermen. C.
W. Luck, who was prominently Iden
tified with the Progressive party, is
in the race for the Republican nom
ination for the Senate in Boise Coun
tl. Guy Martin, the Republican can
didate for the Upper Houee in Bon
ner County, was the Progressive can
didate for Governor four years ago and
polled 25,000 votes. The second former
gubernatorial candidate seeking sena
torial honors is M. E. Lewis, Repub
lican, of Latah County.
Bartlett Sinclair, who studied law
in the same office with Mr. Hughes
30 years ago, is a candidate for the
senatorial nomination on the Repub
lican ticket in Boundary County. Mr.'
Sinclair distinctly remembers when
Charles Evans Hughes walked into
the New York law office of "Walter
S. Carter and asked for a Job.
The Republican Presidential nom
inee was a Brown graduate. Mr. Sin
clair was studying law with the firm
of which Mr. Carter was a. member and
attending Columbia University at the
time.
Democratic Leader in Race.
Among the members of the Senate
In the Republican wing two years ago,
seeking re-nomination are: Menden
hall of Bannock, Shepherd of Bear
Lake, Thomas of Bingham, Rockwell
of Blaine, Fitz of Boise, Steele of
Bonneville, Grant of Clearwater, Hayes
of Gem, Sweet of Idaho. Hart of Jef
ferson and Whitcomb of Lemhi.
Senator Ravenel Macbeth, often re
ferred to as the "pitchfork" of the
Senate, one of the leading Democrats,
is a candidate for i enominatlon. He
has opposition in W. W. Adamson. H.
F. Ensign, of Blaine, placed in nomi
nation at the Pocatello convention for
Democratic. National committeeman
seeks a seat In the upper house.
'Connty Division Up Again.
Only a small per cent of ex-members
of the House of Representatives
seek to succeed themselves. A. H.
Connor, speaker during the last ces
sion, is numbered among them. So
is Peter G. Johnston, of Bingham, ma
jority floor leader of the lower house
during the last session. L. A. Lehrbas,
deputy state game warden, is a Demo
cratic aspirant from Bannock County:
C. S. Moody, Adjutant-General of the
National Guard for this state, is a
candidate from Bonner County on the
Democratic ticket, while Ernest Ander
son, of Canyon, minority floor leader
two years ago, seeks to come back.
Mrs. Teressa Graham, a member of
the minimum wage commission created
by the last Legislature, and a delegate
to the St. Louis convention from this
state, is a Democratic candidate for
the House from Kootenai County.
No less than three county division is
sues have already arisen to baffle the
Legislature-to-be. Two of them, at
least, promise bitter fights. The first
division proposal comes from northern
Kootenai and southern Bonner coun
ties to create the county of Lake with
Spirit Lake as the county seat.
The second comes from Twin Falls
County, to create the county of Buhl
with Buhl as the county seat. The
third is from western Fremont County,
where there is activity to create the
county of Clark.
Harry A. Lawson, Republican, father
of the mothers' pension law in the
House of Representatives three years'
ago, now Is candidate for State Sena
tor.

LIQUOR DECISION OF
COURTIS EXPLAINED
Washington's Supreme Tribu
nal Declines to Grant New
Trial in Eden Case.
OWNERSHIP RIGHT UPHELD
Difference Between, Holding Goods
for Personal TTse and for Com
mercial Purposes, In Viola
tlon of Law, Emphasised.
OLYMPIA, Wash.. Aug. 19. (Special.)
In denying a petition for rehearing
of the Eden liquor case asked by pros
ecuting attorneys of 15 principal coun
ties, the Supreme Court today Issued
a statement designed to clear up any
general misunderstanding of the orig
inal opinion. In this the Supreme Court
seeks to make plain where misunder
stood its discrimination between law
ful possession and permitted use of
liquor under the anti-saloon law. and
the possession of liquor for forbidden
commercial use.
The issue came before the court on
seizure of a private store of liquor
obtained by John C. Eden before Jan
uary 1, the date the present law went
into effect. The stock was seized by
Sheriff Robert Hodge, of King County,
in Eden's apartments at the Union. Club,
Seattle.
. Cases Are Consolidated.
A similar seizure of liquor In excess
of the amount prescribed by the new
law was made at the residence of W. E.
Boeing, in Seattle, and the cases were
consolidated. Both appealed on the
ground that the liquor had been law
fully obtained when it was legal to
buy liquor in any quantity, and was
kept for private purposes permitted by
the anti-saloon law. The Supremt Court
upheld this view, with the exception of
Justice Fullerton.
The dissenting member of the Su
preme Court held that the decision an
nulled that section of the new anti
saloon law fixing the amount of liquor
that might legally be possessed by one
person at half a gallon of whisky and
12 quarts of beer.
Federal Law in Question.
He also argued that the opinion In
validated the permit provision and
placed the whole act out of harmony
with the Webb-Kenyon Federal law to
such an extent that no check could be
invoked on" the amount an Individual
chose to ship Into the state.
Many prosecuting attorneys of the
state took the same view, and all pro
fessed to be more or less . uncertain of
what the Eden and Boeing decision
actually meant. A rehearing was asked
in order to bring a clarifying utterance
from the Supreme Court.
The decision says:
A petition for rehearins has been filed
herein In which the Prosecuting Attorney of
King County, joined In by the Prosecuting
Attorneys of 15 other counties, ask the court
to clarify the situation as to the effect of
the opinion upon liquors obtained subse
quent to January 1. 1916, either by granting
a rehearing or by supplemental opinion.
It is evident from the public comment
upon this decision that it has been arreatly
misinterpreted and misunderstood. The prom
inent iaea. in me petition seems to oe tnat
the opinion may be construed as destroying
the force of paragraph 22, providing that
it shall be unlawful for any person to have
in his possession more than one-half gallon
of Intoxicating liquor, or more than 12
quarts or 24 pints of beer. The petition Is
frank In stating that a reading of the opin
ion would seem to indicate that the court is
speaking only of liquor lawfully obtained
prior to January 1. 1016, and held for law
ful use. The petition says: "Certain por
tion's of the opinion show that this Idea
was predominant in the court's mind' and
"we believe that the court Intended to go
no further than to hold that paragraph 22
does not make unlawful possession of liquor
acquired before January 1. ' If the
Prosecuting Attorneys can easily gather the
"predominant" idea of the opinion and the
class of liquors the court had in mind. It
ought not to be necessary to add to what
has been said and we would r.ot do so ex
cept for the great pu-bllc interest involved
In the proper construction of this law and
the manifest error Into which the public
has fallen in Its understanding of our first
opinion.
The petition correctly reviews the opinion
In saying the "predominant" idea written
Into it Is the construction of the act only
as to liquors lawfully acquired in this state
prior to January 1 and held for persona
use. That was the only question before the
court, and none other was Intended to be.
or could be passed upon. The Information
charged that Eden obtained his liquors prior
to January 1, and held them for personal
use. and not for the purpose of selling or
disposing or tnem. in otner words, the
information set forth a lawful possession and
a permitted use. Under such a charge no
question of the construction of section 23
was involved, otner than to hold thac it
applied to liquors acquired subsequent to
January 1, and hence, was Inoperative as
against liquors acquired prior to that date.
Such a construction, the prosecutors say,
would not be "a blow to a rigid enforcement
of the law." We agree with such state
ment, and we find nothing m the opinion,
when read in connection with the agreed
facts, which in any way militates against
such & view.
It is unfortunate that opinions In cases
of this character, involving the enforcement
of a law In which the people of the state
have taken such Interest, should be con
strued other than by a reference to the
facts before the court and the plain intend
ment of the law as to those facts. When
properly read In the light of the admitted
facts and the language of the act, the for
mer opinion cannot offend against the most
rigid enforcement of the terms of the act.
All the provisions of the law are preserved
and offenders are still subject to prosecu
tion to the same extent and for the same
causes now, as at any other tune since the
law became effective.
The only question. Involved in the Eden
case subsequent to the time this law went
Into effect was his intent to make personal
use of his liquor either by - personal con
sumption or by gifts to guests in hla own
home. The law not only falls to make such
a use a violation of Its terms, but by exact
language permits It. How then. If he ob
tained his liquors unlawfully and Intended
to put them only to a permitted use could
his act In any sense be termed a violation
of the lawt We again reiterate what the
prosecuting attorneys are pleased to refer
to aa the "predominant" idea In the for
mer opinion, that the possession of liquors
lawfully obtained prior to January 1. and
held only for personal use, is not a viola
tion of the law, and no language of the
former opinion can be construed as de
stroying the vital force of section 22, or of
other sections relating to the quantity of
liquor lawfully obtainable subsequent to that
date. As said In Stato v. Martin, filed July
29. liquors obtained prior to January 1 do
not offend against the law when retained
only for a personal or permitted use. but
do so offend when retained for a commer
cial use.
These observations aa to the purpose and
effect of our orlgial opinion will we think.
make our construction of .the law so plain
as to the question involved that no necessity
now arises for a rehearing, and the same Is
denied. MORRIS, rr. J.
Concurring: Mount. J.; Kills, J.: Parker,
J. l Main, J.i Chadwlck, J. ; Holcomb. J ;"

I think the ruling announced in the first
opinion wrong even as limited In the fore
going. I therefore think the petition for
rehearing should be granted.

PROFESSOR EVHILL TALKS TO
GRANGE AT RIDGEFIELD.
Educator Says All Boys and Girls
Should Go to School and Be
Taught to Work.
RIDGEFIELD, Wash., Aug. 19.
Professor T. J. Newbill's address at
the Columbia Pomona Grange meet
ing Thursday was heard by a large
audience. He was pleased by the
progress made in Clarke County for
Industrial agricultural cluba among
the school children, and said he be
lieved every boy and girl should be
taught to work, to go to school and
to make an honest laving.
"There is no back-to-the-farm move
ment." he said, "but there is a stay-at-home
plan whenever you provide the
boys and girls an opportunity of mak
ing money on the farm. The great
est ships in the world should be in
every home, via.: ownership, partner
ship and citizenship."
Tba professor warmly praised the
Rldgefield school board for making it
possible for all of Clarke County to
have the benefit of William Meikle's
leadership in the club work.
As an Instance of the work done by
children throughout the state, one girl
of North Yakima Valley produced pork
at a cost of 3V4 cents a pound.
The total profits from the boys' and
girls' clubs in the state last year were
141. 100.07. There are 18.240 enroUed
this year. Last year, according to
Professor Newbill, 7. 000, 000 left the
state for canned goods. The follow
ing nine rules. Professor Newbill
stated, are essential:
First, sterilize all lids, jars and
rubbers; second, give all vegetables
a plunge in boiling water three to five
minutes; third, plunge vegetables
quickly in cold water; fourth, pack
cold in Jars; fifth, add salt, sugar or
water, according to vegetables; sixth,
put rubbers and lid not tight and ster
ilize according to time-table; seventh,
take out and tighten lid; eighth, in
vert, cool and test Joint; ninth, label,
wrap and store.
BOYS LEARN TO JUDGE
CLASSES OX STOCK ARB PROVING
POPULAR I.V LEWIS.
Instruction Is Expected Eventually to
Increase Wealth of Connty by
Training; Farmers).
CHEIIAUS, Wash.. Aug. 19. (Spe
cial.) The stock Judging schools of
Instruction which are being held at
various centers in Lewis County are
attracting much interest. The work is
one which, according to Professor A. B.
Nystrom, of Pullman, has never pre
viously been attempted in the North
west. Classes of 100 Lewis County
boys are being trained by experts in
the work of stock Judging. Secretary
Dupertuis, of this city, is a State Col
lege graduate of last June In the de
partment of animal husbandry, and the
Citizens' Club is having him partici
pate In this work.
At each of the centers three-day
sessions are had with night meetings,
where discussions on modern agricul
tural methods are given. Judging of
the school gardens grown the past year
is also done in each neighborhood. At
the coming Southwest Washington
Fair, to be held August 28 to Septem
ber 2, the boys now being trained will
compete in stock judging.
The most interesting coincidence in
connection with the work is that at
every place there is a surplus of men
who take the instruction for their own
benefit. The work that was originally
undertaken for boys has opened a new
line of thought that it might be profit
able for such schools to be held at
various country centers for the others.
In the ultimate the carrying out of
the plan of holding stock Judging
schools is expected, if continued year
after year, to be worth a vast sum of
money to the county. In that' its grow
ing crop of farmers and stqp kmen will
begin their work better equipped.

Rivalry springs up every year be
tween Marshfield and Bandon, when
the school census Is taken. Bandon
runs Marshfield a close race on the

This Is accounted for by the fact that

Progressing.
RIDGEFIELD, Wash.. Ausr. 19 (Spe
cial.) To provide material for the
northern portion of the Pacific High
way Improvement work, a permanent
rock-crushing plant .is being installed
on this highway about half way be
tween La Center and Woodland by the
Federal construction company which
has the contract to lay about 7000 feet
of permanent highway through the city
of La Center, seven miles northeast of
here.
It had originally been intended to
ship crushed rock for this work from
the Columbia County quarries at St.
Helens, Or, on barges, but on account
of the low stage of water in Lewis
River this could not be done.
The work on this stretch of perma
nent highway Is progressing well and
will be completed on scheduled time.
How to Prevent
Acid Stomach and
Food Fermentation
BY A EV YORK PHYSICIAN".
"My experience in th treatment of
stomach disease has forced me to tho
conclusion that most people who complain
of stomach trouble posse atomachs that
are absolutely healthy and normal. The real
trouble, that which causes all tho pain and
difficulty. Is excfaslve acid In tha stomach,
aggravated by food fermentation. Hyper
acidity irritates the delicate ltnlns; of tho
stomach abnormally, causing that full bloat
ed feellnf?. Thus both acid and fermenta
tion interfere with and retard the process
of digestion. The stomach Is tisusUly healthy
and normal, but Irritated almost past en
durance by these foreign elements acid and
wind. In all cases and they comprise a
great majority of all stomach difficulties
the first and only step necessary Is to neu
tralize tha acid and stop the fermentation by
taking' ln A little warm or cold water Im
mediately after eating, from one to two
teaspoonfuls of bi sura ted magnesia, which is
the moet effective antacid and food correct
ive I have ever found. The excesa acid will
be neutralised and the fermentation stopped
almost Instantly, and your stomach will at
once proceed to digest the food In a healthy '
normal manner. Be sure to ask your drug
gist for bhturated magnesia which Is the
form of magnesia especially recommended
for acid stomach conditions. Adv.
