%"coRNFIELD LAWYERS"
Administrations Apprentices of ths
Department of Justice
Are Dense.

II laundering is evidence of what
Senator Tillman calls ''cornield law
Fers," there is not much doubt that the
Administrations appointees of the de-
partment of justice are fully up to that
standard But perhaps the lawyers are
not SO much to blame as the president
who set about the prosecution of the
beef trust in the most approved style
Of the ~cornfield jurist. The enquiries
Of his agents were mixed up with GRIM
lnal indictments that would have done
but scant circuit to the man with the
hoe. The administration plan for
catching trust magnates was to first
get them conidentially to admit they
were robbers and then prosecute them.
The court decided that was not a fair
way to go about 1t. ANY farmer with
ordinary common sense would have
known as much, but the administration
cornfeld lawyers did not recognize
that we'll known maxim of the law.
There is further evidence that the
administrations cornfield lawyers are
away off on their constitutional law,
for they advised the president that
congress could undertake the federal
regulation of life insurance. The ju-
dietary committee of the house of rep
resentatives reported unanimously that
such a law would be plainly unconsti-
tutional.
The cornfeld lawyer, If honest, has
his useful place in advising his neigh
bors as to statute law, but as a con-
s%titutional lawyer, a farmer would not
hire him, if involved in a serious case
and he is entirely out of place in the
councils of the nation when intricate
constitutional questions are to be de-
cided. The trouble with President
Roosevelt seems to be that all the
good constitutional lawyers, who are
Republicans, have been hired by the
corporations and he has to be content
with those, who Senator Tillman dubs,
are Of the cornfield variety.
If the president would rely upon the
advice of the great Democratic consti-
tutional lawyers, who are free from
corporation faint, it would save him
endless modification and would indi-
cate to the country that he was really
intent on curbing the trusts and corpo-
rations.

sURFEIT OF MOOSE MEAT.
Discomforts OF a Party Of Prospec-
tors on a Trip Through
Alaska.

'In %journeying down one of the
tributaries of the Tanana river, in
Alaska, with a party OF ~prospectors in
1902, our raft went to pieces on a drift
and every pound of provisions, cooking
utensils, bedding and pretty nearly ell
the clothing OF the outfit, as well as a
tidy sum of money, went to the bot
tom," relates P. j. Habberton,, of
Seattle.
Luckily I managed to q V my VIM
chester and a few rounds of ammuni-
ton, and If it had not been for that /
believe we would have come pretty
near starving to death, as the place OF
the accident was 100 miles from any
settlement or roadhouse. My gun was
the only one that was saved, and never
did one come in handler. We trudged
along, shivering and greatly depressed
at our loss, but such is the elasticity
of the pioneer adventurer that upon my
shooting a big bull moose about sun
down the whole party began to get in
better heart, and even to jest about our
predicament.
I'VE cut out the best parts of the
flesh of the moose and made a hearty
supper. Little then did any of us
think that we would be confined to
that single article Of food for four
long days. Now, moose meat isn't bad,
but to have to eat it for 16 straight
meals, unrelieved by a grain Of salt or
pepper, is a hardship such as hope
never to experience again. Long be
fore the dawn of the fifth day how we
did lothe the very sight of the soil
tary item Of our bill of fare. Some
of the party experienced extreme nau'
sea, but marching V the snow il
hard work, and the pangs of hunger
would drive them again to the mo
notony of the moose menu.
"Well, when at last we got to
roadhouse and found that plenty 9
beans and coffee were to be had

they met young Edward TWitchell, the
handsome, stalwart son of the old
time benedict.
In a week the pretty little Michigan
girl found that life in Chicago with a
man old enough to be her father was
not the same thing as real love. She
found that the young fellow who was
her stepson had far more attractions
for her than her staid and very con-
servative husband. In fact, before the
month was out, she was head owe
heels in love with the son Of her elder
" husband. And, as If to add to this
strange mix-up, the son himself was
just as madly in love with his own
steumother-the wife of his father.
OF course, such things couldn't go
on forever. Mr.. Twitchell, ST., soon
learned that he stood in the way OF
Mr.. Twitchell, Jr. He taxed his wife
with loving his son. Proud Of her love
she owned up.
And so the case was taken to court
The elder Twitchell sued, and Judge
McEwen decided in his favor. Ht
frankly admitted that he wanted his
wife to be happy, and for that reason
he was going to give her to his son.
II am no hero he said, with a kind

He is a member of the famous Myopia
Hunt, and lives at the very smart Som
erset club, Boston, the most exclusive
organization Of the kind in all New
England. He married in 1887.
One year later his wife left him.
There was no s%candal-it was just that
they had agreed to disagree. No ex-
PLANTATION was offered to their many
friends, and after a time the trouble
was all but forgotten.
But then Miss Edith r.. Willis came
on the scene. She was young. viva
cious, talented, beautiful. From that
moment the gallant captain believed
that he had met his fate. He frankly
told Miss Willis that he believed her to
be his affinity, and he asked her to
marry him.
YES" she said, but it takes more
than a whispered assent to make 9
marriage. There had to be a divorce
first.

definitely decided to procure roomy
quarters and furnish them up for club

billiard tables, and everything that the
members may need with which to
spend pleasant evenings. 1t will be
Lewistons first live club rooms, and
the Elks will spare no efforts to make
their home attractive.
The rooms will be for the use of Elks
only. Members will be allowed to
bring in their out of town friends for
an evenings entertainment. but resi-
dents will not be permitted to use the
club rooms unless they are members
of the lodge.
The location of the quarters have not
been decided upon yet. Porter's new
building, Eben Mounces new building
and Binnard building are all being con-
sidered.

ST. PAUL. Mimi. Sept. 21.-Much
interest is manifested in the Hastings
coal rate case, which came up for
hearing before the railroad commission
today. James J. Hill has been sum-
moned to appear before the commits
sion and tell about his Great Northern
road, his northern Minnesota iron
mines, and their relation to the new
federal law governing railroads. The
question at issue is whether the new
law is violated by the personal holdings
Of Mr.. Hill in iron properties and at
the same time in controlling interest
in the Great Northern, which hauls ore
from the mines. The question is prac-
tically the same as that involved In
the case of the coal-carrying roads OF
Pennsylvania. and which was decided
adversely to the railroads.

LAYS OUT WORK
FOR CLUB women
Mrs. Hayes Urges that Idaho
Women Ask for Better
Juvenile Laws

The duty of the women's clubs
their efforts to bring about certain
legislation in which women especially
are interested was the topic of an able
address given by Mrs. Samuel Hayes
of Boise yesterday at a union meeting
of all the womens clubs in the city
held at the home of Mrs. c. w. SHAFT
Child labor laws and compulsory
education laws are to be especially
considered by the women this ytar,
and a meeting will be held in Boise
during the latter part of October ut
which she urged that all club women
be present who could possibly do So.
The laws of Idaho only compel par
ents to send their children to school
three months out Of the year. Mrs.
Hayes held that the women of Idaho
should take a stand for legislation
which would compel parents to send
their children for longer period each
year.
The child labor laws have also been
neglected within the state and Mrs
Hayes urged the necessity Of legisla-
ton on this matter before the state
became large enough to make an or
ganized opposition to 1t.
The need Of juvenile courts in tht
cities of Idaho was also discussed. Tht
meeting yesterday was entirely unoffi
cial and Mrs. Hayes explained tha
the chief object of her visit was to tr,
and bring about a closer union between
the clubs throughout the state.

CHINESE IN ROW
OVER Ten CENTS

All Chinatown was in a turmoil last
night. One Chinaman was badly beat
en- up and two of the celestial inhabit-
ants of the city spent the night in Jail.
and it was all over 10-cent piece.
Jim Lee was the man who thought
he had 10 cents coming to him and he
stirred up so much trouble about 1t
that it was feared for a time last night
that there would be serious difficulties
before morning. When Jim had re-
ceived a severe beating, however, by
two other Cinnamon he decided to let
the law settle his troubles and pre-
serted his case to the city police Off
GERS.
The trouble arose in a game of fam
tan. Tim Guin and My Chin were
dealing the game and Jim Lee was
playing on the outside. He made bet
Of $3.50, which he won. The dealers
paid him 1920, saying that was all his
bet called for. Lee argued the oues-
tion quietly at first and then became
enraged and was going to collect by
/ force.
The dealers applied for warrant
! for his arrest after he had been some
what disorderly, but the matter was
settled up. and it was supposed that
the affair had been dropped. Las
night, however, the trouble arose again
and Jim Lee was still of the opinion
that he was 10 cents to the bad.
The dealers by this time decided IL
take the matter of settling with jim
Lee in their own hands and admins
tered 4 severe beating. charge wa
made against his assailants, who spen
