And she will still be one of the

Grating the Counties.

Occur d'Alene Press: Miss MAY
L. Scott, state superintendent 81
public instruction, is sending out II
circular letter to county superin
tcndents containing the following
demands:
''As the appropriation for the ex-
pense Of printing the library cata.
logues was overlooked at the last
session Of the Legislature, and no
amount appropriated, the sum 10
quired will of necessity be appor-
toned among the counties of the
state. The amount due is $3lO.
making an expense to each county
of $l5. Kindly send this amount
to the Statesman Printing company,
Boise, Idaho, or to this office, az
soon as you can conveniently do So
just where the young lady finds
her authority for grating from the
counties for the purpose Of paying
state bills ia not made plain, and
some might want to know why the
tuOueJ 10 w w SOIIt W TIT Ctdtt6-
man publishing company instead Of
through official channels. liz tie
state owes the bill it ought to pay
il and If there is no money available
the account should be presented 10
the next Legislature for action. This
call on the counties to dig up their
cash at the dictation of state officer
is an outrage and should be turned
down. What do the people of
Kootenai think of being forced to
chip in to pay the Statesman print
ing bill because an official says so?
This is not the first graft the young
lady has worked on the counties and
school districts. She had the Poca-
tello Tribune print thousands of re-
port cards and then sent out instruc-
tions that only these should be used
in the public schools and informing
the officers that they should be pnr-
chased from the Tribune. Miss
Scott is exceeding her authority in
these matters and no attention
should be paid to her demands.

There's No Appeal.

According to the decision Of the
Supreme court in the case of Lot l..
Feltham ct al, VS.. the Board of
Commissioners Of Washington
county, county boards of equaliza-
ton are constitutional boards, exer-
cising powers and duties seperate
and distinct from those exercised by
boards of county commissioners.
Furthermore, the court holds, Sec
tion l776, revised statutes, as
amended at the 1899 session, provid-
ing for appeals from the order of
of county commissioners, does not
authorize an appeal from an order
of board of equalization. The
question came before the4court In al
appeal from the district court Sof
Washington county.
On the appeal to the. supreme
court the attorney general raised the
question that the district court was
without jurisdiction for the reason
that under the state law no appeal
will lie from an order or proceeding
of board of equalization. Th.
opinion sustains this contention,
quoting the decision of Judge Pric-
kett in the case of the General Gus
ter Mining company VS.. Van Camp
Idaho 40. Pacific 20, that an
appeal would not he from an order
when acting as board of equal
ization. That decision, the opinion
states, has never been questioned IN
Idaho and has stood as the law OF
the state on the subject ever since.

N4TIONAL ENCA MPMIGA IT,

Boston, Aug. 16 To-day, probably
for the last time, the streets of Boston
resounded with the tread of the Grand
Army of the Republic, before many
| years to vanish from the earth; and
north and south, east and west gath
cred to see the browning event of the
last Grand Army encampment in the
home where liberty was born and nur-
tured. Between the thousands of fiut-
tering flags and miles of bunting,
through streets literally packed with
sympathetic spectators whose moist
eyes attested their love and gratitude,
marched over $4,000 Of the remnant Of
that great army Of men who nearly
half century ago fought to preserve
the Union. Out of consideration for
the advanced years of the veterans the
route of parade was only two miles
long, less than half as long as that
over which the old soldiers marched
when the last encanpment was held
here fourteen years ego. The ranks
were thinner today, shoulders more
bent, steps feebler, but the same warm
greeting, same cheers, same pathetic
enthusiasm were shown as when these
men were nearer the prime of life.
The weather at ten O'Clock, W hen Com
er-in-Ohief Black gave the sig
nal that set the parade in motion, was
ideal, the sun being bright and the
temperature moderate and just right
for marching. There we're no organ
izations other than the members of
the Grand Army in the column, but
the veterans of the Civil War who
marched in yesterdays procession al
SO participated in today's event. De-
partments from every State in the
Union were in line. Kinsley Post of
this city, acting as escort to the COM
mander-in chief, headed the column
the rear brought up by solid phalanx
of 5000 men, hosts of the occasion,
department of Massachusetts. Between
three and four hours were occupied in
passing the given point where Gov
ernor Bates reviewed the column at
the State House and Mayor Collins at
the city hall. The commandment
chief reviewed it just before the ranks
Were broken at the park square.
Along the route were eight huge grand
stands, provided for visitors and occu-
pied by disabled veterans, their wives,
members Of the Womans Relief
Corps, Sons of Veteran, army nurses,
ladies of q. A. K. and other organi-
cations. The most picturesque fea-
ture of the long line of march was the
living flag, composed of 1900 school
children who sang patriotic songs as
the veterans passed.

The State department. has won an
other signal victory in European
affairs. Tie agreement just reached
between Turkey and the United
States gives to this country all that
it claimed. Hereafter the schools.
hospitals, charitable institutions, and
missionary dwellings, to the number
of about 300, controlled by Americans
in Turkey, will enjoy the same rights
and privileges as do those of France
and other European countries. The
discrimination under which they have
labored heretofore is done away
with. Moreover, certain claims of
American citizens for damages are to
be settled. The United States flag
will now be as much of a guaranty of
protection as any other in the Turkish
Empire.

gains by this practice although the
of1ioe-seeker who wants his turn"
loses.
Republican or Democrat, local
option or prohibitionist, white or
black, all factions, cliques and parties
can unite in approving the selection
of John Merrifield, an office-holder
bat not an office-seeker, a man but
not a politician, whose convictions
are definite but who is willing that
other men should also have convio-
tons.
This is high praise that the Reform
er gives Mr.. Merrifield, but the best
thing about it is that it is merited.
The Journal had every opportunity to-
know the way that the House of Rep
stantly in touch with the members,
but not once did it hear complaint
as to the Speakers unfairness or par
TALLY. There simply was no oppor-
tunity for complaint given. Undoubt-
eddy the justice with which the
Speaker decided all questions and the
impartiality with which he treated
all men had considerable to do with
the temper of the House, and it was
very noticeable that conditions grew
constantly more pleasant, even though
the strife over certain measures
waxed hot in the closing days of the
session. The Vermont House does
not want or need an autocrat for
presiding officer, as does the national
House 1t is not desired here that
the course of the House should be
practically steered by the Speaker
and majority leader on the floor.
Independent thought aud speech
should be given clear field and the
Speaker should be, as Mr. Merrifield
was, an impartial referee of all in
cidental questions.
1t has been suggested that Newfane
has mountain rule Of her own and
that it was violated two years ago in
order to send Mr.. Mortified as repre-
sentative. 1t seems improbable that
Newfane voters will let the opportun-
ity pass to again have their town high
ly honored in the Legislature. They
should remember that the best men
are wanted and that Mr.. Merrifield is
one Of that class If elected he would
in all probability be chosen Speaker.
Newfane cannot afford to look at this
question in a narrow way.

The Chinese in Boston, Philadel-
phia, Washington and some other
cities are just at present wrestling
with the weighty question of whether
they should or should not cut off their
queues. The Bow Wong Woy society
advocates this action and hundreds of
pig-tails are being relentlessly sacri.
feed as d result. People who have
faith in the Chinese sometime becom-
ing good American citizens can
gather little comfort from the move
ment, however, for the queue cutting
is urged by the leaders of the society
not on the grounds that the Chinese
should try to be like Americans for
the purpose of being American, but
for the purpose of returning to China
and throwing their influence toward
civiIizing it. They regard queues as
nuisances and relics of ancient bar
barrie customs, and believe that if
they are cut off one step toward civ
ilization has been taken.

One of the men instrumental in
setting the style of John Wanamak
er's Philadelphia advertising, which
has never been excelled or successfully
initiated, was asked what he believed
constituted it's chief attraction.
Simplicity of language, was his re-
ply. What model have you fol-
lowed " Jesus Christ, whose sermon
on the mount contains more matter in
fewer words than any piece of writing
in classics. Christ said, Blessed are
the meek, for they shall inherit the
earth. Some of the adwriters l know
would have said, Blessed ale the
poor, oppressed, lowly, down trodden
meek, for they shall positively inherit
the earth, with its unsurpassed scenery
and glorious climate, at terms never
before dreamed >of in the history
of successful retail merchandising.
That's the difference. - Printers
