The reappointment of Hon. R..
V. Cozier as U. S. District Attorney
is announced from Washin gton.
There were three prominent candi-
dates for this position-Mr. Cozier,
MIR Morrison and Mr.. Bagley, the
appointment of any one of whom
would have been highly creditable
to the party and just recognition
of services rendered, while the pub
lie service would have been well
cared for in the hands of either.
Mr.. Cozier's record is good and his
friends are legion. The HERALD
takes great pleasure in congratula-
ting him upon having the long pole
that knocked the persimmon.

The Populist state advisory com
mittee has resolved that Senator
Henry Heitfeld is both "unwise
and unpatriotic." While we may
leave the question Of Henry's pa
triotism to be thrashed out by Pop
ulists, his lack of wisdom became
a matter of national comment long
before the advisory committee an
nounced it to the world. A year
or two ago one of the great maya
zines of this country classified the
senators of the national congress ac-
ccrding to theirpredominating char
acteristics. Heitfeld was classified
as the most unlearned man in the
body-not very proud distiction
for Idaho, by the way. And yet
when Heitfeld went around last
year reading his very tiresome
articles there were a few peo-
pie whose partisan zeal made them
believe he was some pumpkins.
Of course Heitfld has learned some
things in six years of association

Well Said.

Occur d Alene Press. The article
explains itself, and is an able ex-
position of certain Fusion fallaciee
treated. The facts should be con-
sidered well by the people of this
county:
The Press speaks of an eaonom-
ical administration Of local affairs
as fact" The Republican sub
mlts that the Press has failed to
show that this is fact" either III
the state or in the county. Idaho
and Kootenai county are prosper
Gus for the same reason that other
sections are prosperous, not because
certain political party manages
local affairs, but in spite of instan-
ces of mismanagement, and the de-
gree of prosperity varies only ac-
cording to resources of respective
sections, and is due to no political
party.
Not being state journal, as the
Press evidently aspires to be, the
Republican will first confne its
efforts to local affairs. 1t denies
that Kootenai county's affairs have
been economically or well managed
by the customers, and in support of
this denial cites few facts which
will be fully established after the
Press shall have made its attempt
to show how the customers have
given this county as good or a bet
ter administration than their PIE
decessors in office. These facts are
as follows;
A fusion board of commissioners
is charged by fusion county at
torney with fragrant violations of
the law, resulting IN a loss to the
people of more than $4,000 which,
owing to the negligence or incom-
petence of former fusion county
attorney, they will very likely
never recover.
The total debt of the county, has
not been decreased, but on the con-
trary, has been increased. While
the tax rate has been slightly de-
creased in compliance with a law
which went into effect since the fu-
sioners have come into power, the
amount of taxes collected from the
individual has been increased from
an amount less than the amount oi
delinquent taxes TO an amount
equal t. whole years taxes for
current expense purposes. In sup
port OF this fact we will quote from
the latest call for warrants by the
county treasurer, issued January
II, the date upon which that Off
cial is presumed to have on hand
all Of the tax money collected by
the assessor for the year 1901
available for the redemption OF
warrants: Current expense fund
warrants No. 44S to 912, inclusive
series of 1900" With the funds on
hand the treasurer is unable tc
complete the redemption ofall war
rants issued in 1900, and not one
dollar is available fer the issue Of
1901!
There were no outstanding rOaC
warrants when the customers came
into power. On the contrary, there
was a small amount of cash in thi.
fund. Note its condition now

The Length of Sermons.

In the preface to a recent collection
of university sermons the editor gives
some curious statistics as to the
lengths of sermons. He tells us that
it bad been found early necessary in
some universities to pass statutes de
quantitate sermonum, and time limit
was fixed at Ingoldstadt of an hour
and a quarter. at Vienna the allowance
was an hour and a half, or at most
two hours. Even this was exceeded by
the two and a half hours which DIR.

Pussy was also very long. The ex-
IRENE limit in regard to brevity was
probably reached in Hearne's record OF
March 20, 1922, in which he speaks OF
a sermon at ST. Peters in the East
by William Pecke, which was not
above five minutes long, or very little
more.

ODDITIES OF ELECTRICITY.
Elephant Undisturbcd by 5000 Volts;
Mustang Killed by 1O4.

Mustang Killed by 1O4.
In three instances lately the uncer-
tainty c. the action of electricity upon
human beings and animals was shown.
At Buffalo 5000 volts were sent
through an elephant without so much
as making him wink an eye.
few days ago at one of the street
car powerhouses an electrician placed
his hand where he had no business to
and it is estimated that 1,S00 volts
passed through his body, partly stun
ming him. He recovered in few min
utes and except for a slight sickness
and numbness for a day or two, was
none the worse for his adventure.
The LIST case happened a few days
ago. and, though it ended in death
there We're some amusing features
about it. A farmer who lives near Jer-
sey City has been studying electricity
lately and among his apparatus is an
ordinary physicians battery the whole
force of which could not ordinarily
hurt child.
This farmer has-or, rather had-a
mustang which was a great pet Of the
family This horse was hitched to q
post in front of the house waiting fol
his master. He broke his bride anC
went to a small. shallow pool made by
the overflow of a spring. There he lay
down and all the coaXing and beating
that was tried failed to make him
| bulge.
His owner finally determined to TT,
| what effect an electric shock would
have on him, so he brought out his lit
tie battery, and placing a sponge be
! hind one car. he held another spong'
to the spine just over the kidneys ant
turned on the full force of the battery
| which is said to be 104 volts.
The mustang gave a slight, convul
! sive movement and tried to rise. Thel
he sank back dead. The farme
thought the battery had developet
in some way greater voltage, say
the New York Times. until he tried tn
same power on a hen, which cam
/ through it with nothing worse than ;
/ bad scare.

ANCIENT TURF TRICKERY.
Methods Resorted To by Arabians to
Win II Race.


Win Race.
A recent traveller in eastern Arabia
has revived a little of the ancient his
tory of that part of the world track
ing back for many centuries the cause
of bitter feeling between two tribes
that were at war for forty years, their
relations being somewhat strained.
The explorer found that in 562 A. d.
the sheikh of one of the tribes made
foray on another tribe and as ransom
Tor the booty and captives taken he de-
manded and received a famous horse
named Dahis. The extraordinary fleet
ners of Dahis was the boast of his
new owner, and it was not long before
a match was made to race him against
a Fezara mare belonging to another
tribe. and also noted for her fleetness
The wager was for 100 camels, and
the length of the course was about ten
miles
IS the day fixed for the race ap-
preached the horses were kept without
water, the plan being that the horse
which first plunged it's nose into the
water trough ten miles from the start
ing point should be declared the win

and to make them gallop their best
maddening thirst was to take the place
OF whip and spur.
The superior strength of Dahis told
over the yielding sandy plain, and he
was we'll ahead OF his rival, the mare,
which, though very fleet had less stay

The dishonest stratagem by which

Arc will be regarded by the French
as a delicate compliment to them
selves In spite of the numerous
changes of political system that have
taken place in their country, the fell
Iow-countrymen of the future saint
cherish everything that makes their
history picturesque. So a stern Re
publican points with pride to the dis

imperial times. 1t was only during

had tendency to destroy the records

be.

water is blue; green leaf absorbs the
