A demand, says the Boise States
man, has been made by the conven-
ton Of the Western Federation Of Min
ers upon Judge Smith that he release
Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone on
bail. 1t would have been far better
for the convention to make a demand
on the attorneys for the defense that
they dismiss the superb lous appeal to
the United States supreme court and
thus make it possible for the trial Of
the accused men to proceed. The
convention would have the world
believe the men are innocent. II it
wished to impress the country with the
idea that it believes what it processes it
would demand that the attorneys for
the accused men take down the bar to
a trial at this time. 1t is absurd for it
to make this demand for bail when the
only reason why the trial does not
proceed at once is the refusal OF the
defense to remove the obstacle which
prevents an immediate trial.

The records of Latah county will
show that as sheriff, w. S. Robbins has
done more work at less expense to the
taxpayers, than did any of his pred
.ecessors. The record also shows that
during his term of office there has been
little or no difficulty in convicting
every criminal tried by the county.
This is due to great extent to County
Attorney Stillinger's hard work, but
Sheriff Robbins is given lot Of credit
by Mr.. Stillinger, because of the
prompt, thorough work in the sheriff S
Office. Mr.. Robbins has done his
duty well, and in closing his term, will
leave behind record of which the
republican party is justly proud. The

What about that change in the
Rietman hill road? The News has
pointed out the necessity for some
change, and there is not farmer nor a
business man in Troy who does not
know that the change must be made.
But so far nothing has been done. Is
the matter to drag along with the ex-
pectation that people north of Troy will
continue to come here, even if they
are forced to come over bad roads?
Well, the truth will some day dawn
upon Troy business men that they
played with fire. The new railroad to
the north has given the people a
choice Of markets and they will go
where they can market their produce
the easiest. Trade follows lines Of
least resistance, and The News hopes
to see all possible resistance in roads
leading this way removed and the high
way creased so that it will be the
easiest and most pleasant thing to trade
in Troy. Let US not be tardy in work

where lambs should never go. And Mary
sat her quickly down and tears steamed
from her eyes; she never found the
lamb because she did not advertise.
And Mary had brother John who
kept a village store; he sat him down
and smoked pipe, and watched the
open door. And as the people passed
along and did not stop to buy, John still
sat and smoked his pipe, and blinked
his sleepy eye. And so the sheriff
closed him out, but still he fingered near
and Mary came to drop sympathetic
tear. How is it, sister, can you tell

goods so readily and thrive from year
