Git, You Sassy Man:

NEW York, Nov. l3.-It may be said
without prejudice that Mrs. Kate Harri-
son, of No. 245 West sixty-fifth street,
las q striking personality. School In
spector Painz, at least, is Of this opinion.
1t appears from the documents in the
case that the inspector called upon Mrs.
Harrison for information, to which he is
entitled by law.
Madame" he said, shave you any
children
'Sir" cried Mrs. Harrison, with ris-
ing infection. She stepped toward him,
and Mr.. Painz executed a strategic flank
movement to the doorway. "
Madame" said the school inspector
again, "have you any children, and if SO,
how many"'
"None of your business, sirr' roared
Mrs: Harrison. "Get out of here"
Mr.. Painz, although perturbed, not to
say put out, went and returned the fol-
lowing day. He repeated his questions,
and Mrs. Harrison slammed the door in
his face. Upon the third visit Mrs. Har-
rison merely opened the door, said
"Get"' and slammed the door again.
Once more Mr.. Painz returned.
If you show your face here again Pll
throw you down stairs. Getn shouted
Mrs Harrison.
Mr.. Panz went to Magistrate Meade
in the West Side Police Court and swore
out a warrant. Policeman Mcintyre was
sent to get Mrs. Harrison.
"Oh, cop!" said Mrs Harrison, and
she shut the door and locked it. McIn-
tyre kicked it in, whereupon Mrs. Harri-
son wound her legs about the kitchen
table.
"Pll not go a step with you, said she
with determination. "You can drag me
the whole way. ,.i >.,r
1t was easier to get the patrol wagon
than to carry Mrs. Harrison, so McIn-
tyre summoned aid. Thereupon Mrs.
Harrison tried to eat the policemen's
fingers, to pull out their hair, scratch out
their eyes aud in other ways to make
their visit memorable. This morning
she was held in $500 ball.,

WARREN ROAD.

The report of Prof. Lindgren on
the first page gives very correct
idea of the present condition of the
public road system, and his criticisms
are very apt. A small outlay Of
money wonld construct the road up
the Payette so that the crossings
would all be avoided, and, as another
result, the road could be kept open at
all seasons. This is matter of
much Importance to Weiser. His ref-
erence to the road down Little Salmon
is also what could be expected from
a person Of such competent judg-
ment, and it will be remembered that
this is the road that Mcconnell rec
commended IN his message, and then
after the legislature had passed an
act to construct it, promptly vetoed it.

GALL OF THE JUDGES.

The Appropriation bill passed by
the last Legislature was not read in
either house more than once; it WAS
amended in both houses several
times on the third reading; the con-
stitution was suspended in both
houses and no "insurrection' exist
ed on March the bill came before
the Senate, the first and second read
ings were dispensed with; it was read
the third time and passed; yet, in the
face OF these alarming Irregularities
and direct violation of ''court- made
law" the Supreme Judges have the
transcendent gall to draw their war
rants, and ahead OF time at that, and
then go and deceive some poor devil
OF an investor by selling him that
scrip, when under their great and
ruling there is on appropriation to
draw against and the warrant is
worthless The Sentinel is open for
engagements to wager new hat that
the Supreme Court will some day

never said it. Boise Sentinel.

concludes that it shows wide mar.
gin in the increased aggregate wealth
within which the rich can grow rich
er without necessitating that the poor
shall grow poorer. 1t seems to us
lie proves too much, because taking
his first figures that seven eighths Of
the families own but e-eighth of
the property, that gives the per cap
ita Of the seven-e ighths at 1920 and
the per capita of the one-eighth at
Sc, 600. IL the rich have not about
all that is left, then Mr. CAROLS fig
ures are not worth a smooth quarter.

RICH RICHER, POOR POORER.

In the current Atlantic Monthly
Carroll D. Wright struggles hard to
prove that it cannot be established
that in this country the rich are
growing richer and the poor poorer,
He tries to prove that while the rich
are growing richer, the poor are not
growing poorer. He is willing to al
init that there are many colossal for
tunes, that -eighths of the fam
lilies hold but one-eighth of the
wealth, while per cent of the fami-
lies own more than the other 80 per
cent; OF that IL per cent Of the fam
lilies own Sc per cent Of the wealth,
and the other SO per cent OF the fam
lies own only IA per cent. But
against this he argues that, beginning
with 1850, the per capita OF wealth
of'the country has grown ms follows:
In 1850, 1908 per capita; in 1860,
1914; in 1870, $3.50; in 1880, 1870;

farmer Is as liberal and as pleasure
loving as the ordinary man. A state
fair should attract every well-to-do
farmer when he can go there and
back on five-dollar bill That he
doesn't go, and some OF him take
his family too, is mighty poor indi-
cation OF a great benign flood OF

wiped out many years..of poor wheat.
The Statesman is in extacies over the
aggregated attendance. If it would
get beyond the aggregated crowd at
capitol, and analyze The attendance
from specific points, it will see that
attendance from Southern Idaho was
not one-tenth what it should have
been. Everybody too busy welcom-
ing prosperity.

rendered to Miss Whitney to come to
Kansas with the title of Princess
Lorena, and become first maid of
honor to the queen OF Kansas. "This
state, said Mr.. Holiday, "honors a
girl who makes an honest living for
herself and her widowed mother by
honest toll, and l propose a recog-
milton of the nobility of labor"
The proposition was carried unani-
mously, and an invitation wired to
Miss Whitney signed by the knights
and the queen elect of Kansas. She
accepted, and one hundred knights
will be placed at her disposal as an
escort and guard while she is in
Kansas The young men of Topeka
have guaranteed to find her a royal
carriage. with $500 worth of flowers
in it, and the young ladies of the
state will loan her wardrobe and
jewelry that will be worth $3.50, 900.
When Governor Leedys, of Kan
sas, was informed of the matter he
rendered the working girl the beauti-
full senate chamber of Kansas for her
apartments during her visit to the
state.
He said:

works is as good rs any other girl, and

Kansas has snubbed the snobbery of
Missouri's would be bloods. 1t was
decided to let the people of each Mis-

the queen of the st. Louis Flower
Carnival. Chillicothe people unani-
mously elected, to represent that
place, a virtuous and beautiful young
girl who supports her widowed moth
err and to do so works in tobacco
factory. The Goldfish aristocracy of
st Louis, connected with the carni
val, heard OF the girls occupation,
blue blood began to ferment at
thought Of coming in social contact
with "vulgar working girl. There
was hobnobing in Pukedoms royal
circles, there were chickering's and
chin music rich with indignation,
there were whisperings and plottings
to stop the delilement of social sup
remacy, there were kilograms flashed
back and forth to the president of the
fair, who was in San Francisco, while
every bejeweled, simpering and SOW
ish old dowager shook her head,
gasped for breath and gazed on her
hot house daughter with horror that
such "refned' plant should have a
working barbarian thrust under her
nose and against her dainty gar

The final result was that Miss Ed
ma Whitney, the beautiful and vir-
tuous working girl elected by Chilli

gram

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. 1.-The business in the
stock market to-day was very small and
the trading amounted to little more than
the passing of holdings from one hand
to the other OF the same person. The
professionals bought stocks in the morn
ing and sold them in the afternoon, with
the result that nearly all changes re-
solved themselves into very small frac-
tions, though the later reaction extended
little further than the early rise. The
sale OF the Union Pacific main line at
Omaha had the effect of stiffening the
price Of the stock which rose at one
time rs above the low point and saved
a part OF it's advantage at the close,
