The action Of the attorneys Of this
judicial district in taking steps To
debar lawyers from other states from
practicing in the court Of this and
Shoshoue counties, may seem bit
arbitrary, but when the facts are
known it is plain that the action Is
justified by existing conditions. 1t
seems that the attorneys from other
states are not permitted to practice
in the Spokane county courts and II
an Idaho attorney has business before
the courts Of Washington he is com
PEELED TO take an attorney Of that
state into the case While this
practice has been in force over the
line, Spokane attorneys have had a
clear field in Idaho, and the lawyers
Of this district have concluded that
the proposition is too ouesided They
are right, and no one can justly
criticise them for taking advantage Of
the means at their command for stop
ping the unjust custom.

The last legislature, in its wisdom,

claiming the funds Of the state are
insufficient. We are not tn position
to criticise the commission for this
condition Of affairs, but it seems
that a business man would have
counted the cost before starting in
aud cut his cloth according to the
amount Of cash available. There Is a
difference between spending the
peoples money and ones private
funds.

In letting the contract for keeper
of the county poor house the question
seems to have been one Of cows,
simply cows. One man offered 10
sacrifice himself for the public good
furnish a team and one cow to the
eounty: while another offered two
cows for the job and still another
offered team and buggy for the use
of, presumably the inmates OF the
home, but the commissioners wanted
cows, something that could be used
for practice while not engaged at the
public teat, and the contract was
awarded to the man with team and
one COW. This method is simply
mild form Of bribery and should not
be considered in such a matter. Fit
ness and business ability, together
with honesty, should be the standard
BY which the contract is let. What
does the county gain by hiring man
who is willing to throw in team
and an old COW or two, when he might
waste ten times their value by lack
of business methods. These things
show a lack Of business tact ia
the management Of county affairs and
may account for the great expenditure
of money that is putting the county
deeper in debt at every session OF the
board

The true socialist IL a chronic
pessimist. He always sees the dark
side Of things, and life Is a clouded
dream Of drudgery and disaster.
He wants individual effort wiped out
Of our social aud political economy

He has nothing of the spirit Of in .

New York World: Mr. J. Pierpont
Morgan has been at Sycamore Hill to
see the president and undoubtedly the
president was dee-lighted. although
Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Roosevelt have
never been regarded as congenial
souls.
Ii is safe to assume that it was a
visit of business and not of pleasure.
AS prudent financier. Mr.. Morgan
could not be expected to give his I'M
qualified support TO a candidate for
president until he knew what the atti-
tude of the administration would be
toward his varied and important inter
ests. a mission of such moment could
not be wisely injTIsted 10 a sUbordi-
nate. and Mr.. Morgan may be pardon
ed for insisting on receiving his assur-
anCeS at first hand
He cannot be ignorant of the practi-
cal value of his support in certain
quarters. or censured, in view of the
past relations. for proceeding on the
principal of no tickee. no washee. -

To Find the North Pole.

Should the steamship America reach
the North Pole. the credit will be due
entirely to the United States. 1t was
equipped by a wealthy New Yorker
and every soul on board is an Ameri-
can citizen. The credit for the re-
markable record made by the famous
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is due to
the fact that it always cures belching,
heartburn. dyspepsia. liver and kidney
ills. indigestion and malaria. also that
it never fails to open up the clogged
bowels. purify the blood and promote
sound sleep, without which no one can
enjoy good health. Prominent physi-
clans everywhere recommend it espe-
Cially TO those COnvalescent. They
know it is unequalled as a tonic and
strength-builder and also that it is
absolutely safe and reliable. You'll
make no mistake in trying it at once.

rs REBUILDING THE TRACKS
Tri-City Railway Company Putting in
New Rails on Twentieth Street.

A force of - men was put to work
this morning by the Tri-City Railway
company tearing up the track between
Second and Fourth avenues on Twen-
tieth street, which will be replaced by
finch 70-pound rails. The work will
last about three weeks. A force of -
men now doing similar work in Daven-
port will be sent over here soon TO
assist. One track at a time will be
torn up and relaid. Cars Will run
regularly, temporary switches having
been provided which Will be placed at
different places to avoid impeding traf-
fic. The work being done consists of
laying two blocks of straight track
and a few curves. The curves will
replace the old ones now at Twentieth
street and Third avenue, a point where
most all of the lines in town inter
sect. The new track to be laid is much
heavier than the old, which is in a bad
condition, and unsubstanual.
