COchems Is Different.

Then along came young Henry F.
Cochsms and got a notion that he would
better adorn that seat in Congress. Mr..
COChems is different When he was a
football player az Wisconsin University
he was rated By the big sharps OF the
game as the greatest footbaIhst in the
world. He stood a little under feet 3
inches tall, had arms Ike a mules bus
mess end. legs like a locomotives pis-
ton. and paws like a canvased ham.
He would put a football under his IefJ
arm and start for "a goal. and nobody
ever discovered a method of stopping
him. The bruised, manned and sense
less would he gathered up from the
gridirOn while the crowd cheered The

Later COchcms went to Harvard law
school and the athletic specialists there
got interested in him. They had a ma
chine for measuring the total muscular
energy OF a human organism, and they
ran COchems through il. When the call

Appeal From Commissioners
Can't Be DISMISSED on
Demurrer

Boise, Dec. 20--In an opinion
handed down by the supreme court
today written by Justice Sullivan, the
Judgment of the district court Of
Kootenai county is reversed in sus-
tanning a demurrer and Diminishing
the case in the suit entitled Kootenai
county vs.. Louis T. Dittemore. JUS
tice Ailshie concurs and Chief Justice
S.ockslager dissents. The action was
brought to recover Illegal compensa-
zion allowed by the board Of county
commissioners Of Kootenai county to
the defendant. in this case one Of the
members of the board. The demurrer
was sustained on the ground that the
court had no Jurisdiction as it was
commended that the only remedy was
by appeal from the order Of the
board of commissioners allowing the
claim of said defendants. Justice
Sullivan says: es
Section 1776 r. s. as amended

D243, provides that an appeal may be
taken from any act. order or proceed

sioners by any person aggrieved
thereby or by any taxpayer Of the,
county when any demand is allowed
against the county or when he deems
any such act. order or proceeding IL
legal or prejudicial to the public in
terests.''
Justice Sullivan calls attention to
another case In which the supreme
court held that an order allowing a
county officer compensation to which
Re was not entitled by the board of
county commissioners. was void for
the want Of Jurisdiction and might
BIZ attacked collaterally. The judg-
ment Of the lower court was reversed

STATES PRIDE
DEEPLY HURT
California ReSents Strongly
"Meddlesome' Work of
Roosevelt

San Francisco. Dec. .20.-Mrs. Flora
B. Harris. now residing in Toxic and
widely known as missionary. recently
addressed communication to the San
Francisco board Of education in which
she deplorsd San Fancisco's attitude
toward japanese In the public schools
and criticised what she termed the
provincial spirit Of the local oficials
She deprecated the attempt to classify
the japanese a. 'sorientals,'' and ex-
pressed surprise that the children OF
any foreign residents could be "ex-
cluded from the public schools and
segregated without their consent, solely
on account of their nationality
The San Francisco bosrd OF educa-
ton, through Its secretary, Gilmore C..
Lefiingwell. has framed 3 reply which
will be mailed to Mrs. Harris in Japan.
From this reply 1t Is apparent that Mrs.
Harris criticisms have aroused the
ire Of the San Francisco sci1ool board.
This reply asserts that the japanese
have not been excluded" from the
schools. despite the fact that no less
parsonage than the president OF the
United States has employed q similar
asserti0nsin framing q message to con-
gress and Notwithstanding the wholly
unfair report made OF the entire school
incident by the secretary OF commerce
and labor. the Hon. Victor H. Met
calf"
The .provincialism" Of California,
the reply states, ''is oddly enough, re-
Elected In the hearts and minds of the
people Of Oregon and Washington ,.
Continuing the reply says:
1.-THE fact that the president Of the
United States. basing arguments upon
erroneous assumptions and framing
against loyal people scathing criti-
cisms regarding a matter which liz
purely one of local concern, does not
in the least deter the people OF the Pa
cific coast who after all are doubtless
the best judges OF their own imme-
date needs and welfare. Neither do
the misleading deductions and recon-
mendations Of a politician high in au-
thority. when voiced through a docu-
ment which plainly sought the light
of favor and not Of truth, impress the
people of this locality with any sense
OF doubt as to their rights as free
born Americans or as to the justice OF
the stand they have taken. Withou,
the Intervention of misinformed OIL
prejudiced public men, California
would deeply have appreciated an op-
portunity to exercise the fundamental
right to deal with this subject alone
and unaided. in which. event Japar
might have spared herself much Of the
concern that has resulted from the
work OF meddlers.
THE board Of education will not re.
cede from its position and whether

The Punishment of the Bagno.

In former times the punishment Of
lhe bagno Oath, one Of the most
ileverly cruel infections ever devised
by an official Of the torture chamber,
was administered in Italy, probably in
Venice, where the water of the lagoons
played 80 prominent part in its penal
system. The punishment was as fol-
lows: The prisoner was placed in a
vat the sides of which were slightly In
excess Of the average height Of man
In order to hold In check the rising tide
Of supply OF water which ran into
the vat In a constant stream the crim.-
nal was furnished with scoop with
which to bale out the water as fast as
1t came In. The respite from death by
immersion thus obtained was more or
less prolonged, according TO the powers
Of endurance possessed by the victim,
but imagine the mortal torture, the ex-
hausting aud even hideously grotesque
efforts the incessant and pitiless toll
by night and day, to stave Off the dread
moment fast approaching, when, over
come by sleep and fatigue, he was un-
able to struggle any longer against his
fate

"A long, low strip of land, valley
between high hills, lies five miles out
side of Havana. and there" said a
cigar salesman, 'the best tobacco in
the world is grown. The name Of the
place is AbaJo, and the Vuelta Abajo
crops are always bought up two or
three years in advance of their plant
ing. They yield only $4,000 cigars an
nually. These cigars sometimes sell as
high as $50 4 hundred $l.50 apiece.
Vuelta Abajo cigars are only smoked
by kings and billlonaires. There are
many fake Vuelta Abajos on the mar
ket, but the real thing, once smoked,
can never be mistaken. for there is no
other tobacco in the world with an
aroma at once so powerful and so del
icate."-New York Press.

One of the most important tables

Record. It Is a list of collisions and

to employees due to having been at

they do not include personal injuries
that had no obvious connection with
the condition of the employe. The
facts disclosed by this tabulation are
startling.
Eight railroad men were killed and
