Believing that temperance and good
morals IRE essential TO the happiness and
prosperity OF any people, we denounoe
the hypocrisy aud duplioity of the Re-
publican party in this State and County
In its dealings With the great cause of
temperance.
We believe that all laws should be
faithfully and impartially enforced, as
long as the remain upon our statute book,
The non enforcement and willful multi
fication OF law by officers sworn to uu-
hold it, is d question of greater import
ance than prohibition OF temperance. for
it strikes at the foundations of civil gov
eminent.
We therefore. denounce the Republican
party of this county for it's shameless
abandonment OF the cause which 1t pro-
fesses to support and we condemn the
sham hypocrisy and partisan fsyoritisln
of it's chosen officials, in their alleged en-
forcensnt of the prohibitory law.
We are heartily in favor of the move
ment for good roads, which has been IN
augurated by our State Board of Trade
They will beautify our landscape, in
crease our facilities for modern travel and
give us better communication with the
various towns of the county. We consid-
er this matter of sufficient Importance to
demand careful consideration, and Eve
recommend that such laws be passed as
VIII bring about needed reforms In the
Improvement of our highways.
We pledge our hearty and loyal support
to the nominees of this convention.
Not word was said about the money
question in the platform.

McCuIlum,s Theatre.

For the pasbthree weeks the pro-
grammes have been telling us that this
weeks attraction would be Virginia.
The play itself is a very peculiar
one and one that requires a great deal of
thought and study but Mr.. MoCullum
and his talented company of players and
working staff have worked SO hard that
at theshnal rehearsal it ran as smoothly
as though it were performance.
The plot Of this play is excellent.
The parts ara all good and will give every
mem Der Of the company an excellent op-
portunity. The pathetic and comedy
scenes are SO oleverly intermingled that
they will keep the audiences in tears and
laughter by turns. Two prominent mem
bers of tho cast this week will be those
clever little actresses Ricca and Ray
Scott. Another special feature Of this
play which will make 1t all the more
pleasing to the ladies will be the COS
TUNES. They will be very handsome and
costly. The following will be the cast of
she play:

The ONLY CERTAIN ROAD TO PROS
PERITY: BIMETALLISM.

PERITY: BIMETALLISM.
THE supreme court of Idaho recent
ly handed down decision that a
sheriff can collect mileage each way
for serving warrant and for taking
prisoner from the place of arrest be-
fore court or committing magistrate
The Occur d'Alene Press does not seem
to take kindly to this decision, claim
ing that it Is nothing less than "legal-
lied robbery" Judging by the tone
Of it's comments it would seem that
the Press editor might be considera-
bly, enlightened on the effect this de-
cison will have on the taxpayers, and
we would refer him to the session
laws Of lS89-91 which fixes the max
imum salary of the sheriff. In its
comments the Press illustrates how a
sheriff Of this county can clear $32. 80
in one day by going to certain point
to make an arrest but fails to state
who is to bear the Sheriff's expenses
of such a trip in case be fails to pro-
cure his prisoner, or how much extra
pay he receives should the search for
criminal consume several days and re-
qulre help; neither does the illustra-
ton state the expense of taking the
prisoner from the place of arrest be-
fore the court. nor how many such
''gOOd days" sheriff may expect dur
ing term Of office. Again, the Press
states that the decision will work a
hardship on the counties because it
enables. sherffs to collect back pay.
This is wrong, except in the case ap-
pealed. Accounts against counties
are settled when sum is accepted in
final settlement thereof. AS to the
supreme court decision, we believe it
is Just. 1t does not seem reasonable
that sheriff should receive no more
for serving warrant and returning
with a prisoner than he would when
serving summons and returning
empty handed. II the Press is so
anxious to have the expenses to the
countysOf the sheriff's office reduced,
why not call for lower maximum
salary.
The wise man Of the Kootenai Her
aid has again delivered himself at
great length in column editorial de-
voted to the condemnation OF The
SILVER BLADE and it's editor for an
imaginary wrong. The editor of our
esteemed contemporary is getting to
be great phantom-chaser. He is so
completely deluded with sense of
his own Importance that he has
thoughtlessly dug up the little hatch
ct which he SO graciously buried only
few weeks ago, when he solemnly
promised to use it nevermore. Some
one ought to tell him what deep
thought and careful reflection is re-
quired to hurl epithets and denounce
another. When the Herald says some

Bill to Include Them in Favored Dis
tillery Raw Material.
Our representative, Edgar Wilson,
has introduced bill in congress of
especial interest to the states of Wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho. 1t pro-
poses to amend section 1855 of the re-
vised statutes by inserting the word
''pruneS," which will give to the lat
ter fruit the same advantages which
are now enjoyed by apples, peaches
and grapes. These advantages are as
great and important that no fruit dis
tllery can do business without being
accorded them. Under section 1855,
the commissioner of internal revenue,
with the approval of the secretary of
the treasury, has exempted from many
of the material requirements of the
internal revenue laws, distilleries of
brandy made exclusively from apples,
peaches and grapes. ''The Pacific
northwest" says Representative Will
son, sis distinctlvely a prune produc-
ing section, and is capable of supply
ing the entire demand in the United
States for this fruit. Idaho alone has
more than $4,000, 900 invested in this
industry now, and the other states to
the westward equal or exceed this.
Other fruits may be available for this
purpose also, and if l find that they
are, | shall have no objection to in
Guiding them in the bill. / expect to
have the full support Of the Pacific
coast delegation and hope to secure
the amendment. which is merely jus.
