School Election.

The trustees have caused notices
to be posted calling for an election
to be held next Monday afternoon
for the election of two school trus-
tees, also for meeting of citizens
to be held previous to the opening
of the polls to consider the PROPOSE
ton of more taxation for school pur-
poses. 1t behooves all taxpayers
to be present at the citizens meet
ing and demand a statement in fig
ures of the financial condition OF
Mountain Home school district.
Several weeks ago the BULLETIN,
at the suggestion of several promi-
nent men and heavy taxpayers,
called for statement concerning
the financial condition of this school
district, and that it be made public.
Such, however has not been done
but it should be before another dol
lar of increased taxation is heaped
upon this suffering community.
The school has prospered under
existing conditions and the debts
should be paid before another at
tempt to increase our burdens by
putting in heating apparatus, etc.
How much the district owes is not
known to the public, but it is as
serted by parties who should know
that there is over $500 due the
teachers for the last term-de-
throned and retained-and also that
an eastern firm is now clamoring
for $3.50 due them for school house
furniture. Let the citizens meeting,
Monday, recommend provision for
the payment of these claims but not
for the contracting of new ones.
AS to the election of school trus-
tees, we have numerous good men
who could fill the position with
honor, and who would scorn to
bring politics into their delibera-
tions, but unfortunately. SO far, not
one will agree to accept the posi-
ton, if elected-hence should these
duties fall into unworthy hands
these men will have cause to blame
none but themselves.
The attorney general has given
his opinion that but one trustee
should be elected-that trustee
appointed to fill vacancy caused
by the death of another, is entitled
to hold such Office during the full
unexpired term for which the de-
ceased was elected, where such APP
pointment was made prior to the
18th day of May, 1897. If
we remember correctly, this same
attorney general was asked for ard
gave his opinion that an independ-
ent school district was a grand
thing and would be of great ad-
vantage to Mountain Home or any
other place of Importance, but that
opinion was then scoffed at by the
same parties who sought his ad-
vice relative to the above matter.
All the BULLETIN has to say is:
"Citlzens of Mountain Home, look
well to your own interests next
Monday"

Important Court Decision.

The Supreme Court has rendered
a decision adverse to Latah county
in the employment of special uttor-
ney Clagett in prosecuting criminal
business in 1895. The court says
the Board of County Commissioners
have power only to employ counsel
in matters pertaining to the affairs
of their county, and have no au-
thority to employ counsel to prose-
cute criminal cases in the name Of
the State. If we remember rightly
the old board of Elmore county paid
out several hundred dollars to w.
G. HOWE for such service, and we
now desire to see if Mr.. HOWE will
refund this ill-gotten money to FL
more county without being sued.

Ages Of .Japancsc Women.

The common objection among wom-
ankind to letting their ages be known il
not shared by the women of Japan, who
actually display their age in the ar
rangement Of their hair. Girls from
nine to fifteen wear their hair inter-
laced around the head, the forehead be-
ing left free with a curl at each side.
From Is to 30, the hair is dressed very
high on the forehead, and put up at the
back in the shape Of fan or butter
fly, with interlacings Of silver cord and
decoration Of colored balls. Beyond
30, woman twists her hair around a
shell pin, placed horizontally at The
back OF the head. Widows also desig-
nate themselves, and whether or not
they desire to marry against. Louis

MARRIAGE sy WHOLESALE.
A Man May Marry Several Women
without Breaking the Law.

bEeuAhmk tho AaWs
A correspondent has requested Law
Notes to advise him how many women
q man may marry at once without vio-
lating the law. This being q mixed
question Of law and love, and our spe-
cialty being law, we feel some hesi-
tation In expressing our opinion.
There seems to be no reason why he
may not marry as many as will have
him, provided the ceremony be not per-
formed "in n territory or other place
over which the United States has ex-
elusive Jurisdiction" The earliest stat
ute on the subject Of polygamy or big
amy Il Jnc. l., C. ~ enacted shat II
any person OF persons within England
and Wales being married, or who here
after shall marry, do marry any person
or persons, the former husband or wife
being alive, each such offense shall be
felony" The statutes IS Geo. ILL.,, C. 81,
and Geo. l., C. II, have merely changed
the punishment.-1 East p. c., 464. The
statutes Of the several states go no
further, In terms, than 10 provide that
no person "who has former husband
or wife living shall marry another"
Under these statutes II would seem
that II is not unlawful for single
man to marry rs many single women
simultaneously rs can place themselves
within the reach of his voice and the
voice Of the preacher or officer who IL
performing the ceremony.
II may be that a court to whom this
question were presented would, by some
refnements and subtleties. and by
considering the intent of the legisla-
ture," and constituting the statute "ac-
cording to its spirit" ETC., devise some
means by which to interrupt the wild
career OF conjugal felicity which our
correspondent proposes, and send him
to Jail, but Law Notes, constituting the
statute as all penal statutes should be
construed. strictly, sees no offense in
the multifarious marriage which he
has lin mind. We feel indisposed to
extend the language of the legislature
so MS TO make II include cases not en-
braced In its terms. It is not unreas-
enable to presume that the legislature
intended merely to protect innocent and
unwary persons from marrying others
already married, in ignorance OF the
previous marriage, and to prevent wives
and husbands from deserving their con-
sorts for others. We do not know that
the legislature intended to prevent a
man from marrying more than one
woman simultaneously, when It could
SO easily, and in such few words, have
said so. This position finds strength in
the fact. that the Edmunds act (Act
Cong. March 90, 1882 declares express
ly, in addition to the usual provision.
that "any man who hereafter stimuli
taneously, or on the same day, marries
more than one woman, in territory or
other place over which the United
States has exclusive Jurisdiction, In
guilty OF polygamy," thereby recognize.
ing that the usual provision does not
meet the case in question.-Law Notes.
