Republican VS.. Fusion Methods.

During the sixth session of the
legislature the editor of the Press
had the honor of being chairman OF
the house printing committee. We
attended to all of the business with
out the assistance of a clerk and
had time to look after other duties.
That was a democratic legislature
The present republican legislature
has given the printing and many
other com mittees clerks at 50 a day
Almost every such clerkship is un-
necessary and a waste of public
money. We speak from experience
and if the plundering of the public
treasury is continued this will
prove the most expensive legislative
session ever held in the state
Occur d. Alene Press.
Editor SCOTS assertions, and
similar assertions appearing in
other Fusion newspapers, has led to
a comparison of the cost Of main
tanning the house alta ches of the
last session and those of the present
house. Representative Jenkens
has looked the matter up and by
comparing the two lists was able
to prove that at the same period at
the last session the fusionists were
paying 500 day for clerical help,
while $40 suffices to pay the present
force. One other little matter in
connection With this printing COM
mittee of which Editor Scott had
the honor to be chairman. That
committee let the contract for
printing house bills at $3.50 per
page, Notwithstanding the best
equipped printing house in Boise
had bid and offered to do the work
for 9Oc per page, The present house
has let the contract at SOC per page
saving the state more than one
third the cost OF legislative print
ing, amounting to many hundred
dollars. The last legislature was
a Fusion legislature rrn on tn,
principle of graft. The present leg
islature is Republican legislature
conducted on sound business prin
ciples.
Mr.. SCOTS assertion that he Pat
tended to all the business withou
the aid of Il clerk" may be taker
with several of the proverbia
grains of salt. The records show
that he had two proof readers a
the states expense and in this in
stance proof reader is only another
name fOl clerk.

OBJECT TO NUNS
TEACHING SCHOOL
Protest Follows Engagement of
Four Sisters by Arlington
Board.

Princeton, ILL.,, Sept. 15.-Some prob
lens in school government in Illinois
may have to be solved as Il result of
the employment of four sisters of the
Order of st. Benedict to teach in the
public schools Of Arlington. Patrons of
strong anti-Roman Catholic tendencies
are agitating against nuns as teachers
in the public schools, and threaten to
resort to legal means. One of the chief
objections to the employment Of nuns
is their alleged sectarian influence on
the school.
Superintendent Bayliss has decided
that any one who possesses the neces-
sary educational qualifications and is
of good moral character is entitled to
a certificate TO teach. The case was
carried to the county superintendent,
who decided that he had no authority
to prevent the employment of nuns
as teachers.

FISH CAN TRAVEL BUT
ONE WAY IN ROCK RIVER

If some enterprising fellow will
take the trouble to send report to
the state game warden. says the
Rockford Star. he can make enough
of the filthy lucre to hold him up dur
ing the winter months without re-
sorting to actual labor.
The law requires that ''nO person
or persons shall place or cause to be
placed or erected any seine. weir. net,
fish dam or other obstruction in or
across any of the rivers, creeks,
ponds. streams, lakes, baYouS or 9th
er waters or water courses within the
jurisdiction of the state. i'm such man
ner as to obStruct the free passage
of fish up and down such waters or
water courses"
As far as can be learned there isn't
dam between Beloit and the Mis-
sissippi river. into which stream the
Rock river flows. that comes within
the provisions of this law.
1T is an easy matter for fish to 60
down stream, but impossible for them
to 90 up under the present condi-
tions.' said a well-known fisherman.
The Mississippi river, into which the
waters of Rock river eventually find
their way, is fairly teeming with var
ious specimens of the finny tribe In
cluded in the list are several kinds of
catfish, and this variety can be taken
at almost any season of the year.
But how long has it been since any
of the local fishermen have taken a
nice mess of channel cats or 30
pound Mississippi river catfish from
the Rock river? Every dam should
contain fishway or runway that will
allow the free passage of fish up and
down the stream.
Right in Rockford there is a dam
which iS so constructed that it is an
impossibility for the fish to go up the
river. More or less come down each
year. but none go mp, so it is not a
hard matter to explain why the river
contains nothing but ''sewer carp and
a few small bullheads."
In another year or two black bass,
pike. pickereI. catfish and other vari-
cites which formerly were taken in
abundance, will be unheard of in this
river.

He said Sir Thomas has had engage

ish of the yacht races for number
of weeks past and that the trip was
delayed because of the length of time
taken to finish them. and that he will
be at Chicago until Saturday of this

Question.

Bishop Scannell and point out to him
that from the standpoint Of the union
the oath had not the meaning given
to it by the bishop. The printers also
petitiOned the national officers of the
union to enter Il disclaimer, and or
dered that it be made public that they
do not look upon their oath as one
to interfere with any members re-
