the declaration made in letter writ

of Duluth, Mimi. and received yes
terday by Chief OF Police Rice, says
the Spokesman Review.
Dean and Addison were taken into
custody by local officers following
the explosion, but although the po-.
lice and sheriff believed that the men
were extracting nitroglycerine from
the dynamite for the purpose OF
blowing safes, no conclusive evidence
was secured, and they were released.
photographs of the three men were
scattered over the United States and
and while no evidence was
obtained to show that Dean and Ad-
ison had criminal records, 1t was
learned that Ratlgan was a notorious
cracksman, who had done time in
several prisons for safeblowing.

action doubtless thinks he is entirely
within his rights In disposing OF the
emoluments allotted to his depart
ment just as he sees fit and that 1t
is nobody's business so long as the
work Is done. This, though, is
very primitive idea and one whose
negation has been stamped on the
statute books of most all of the
states 1t has been very properly
placed in the same class with award
ing public contracts offhand to ia
vorites and friends, considering that
it Is prerogative Of the office, with
which outsiders have no concern.
Where the fallacy of this idea has
not been previously exploded 1t has
logically led to our Ruefs and Crok-
ers and then the explosion shakes the
nation"

cases of nearly 20 officers of the army
who have failed to ''make good"
in the tests of efficiency in horse
manship prescribed by President
Roosevelt.
An amendment to existing regula-
tions for students at the West Point
military academy, bearing on horse
manship and believed to have result
ed from the recent order of Presi-
dent, has been announced by the war
department. Hereafter the board of
five officers appointed to examine
the graduates as to their fitness for
mounted service will take into con-
sideratlon the degree of efficiency
shown by them in riding and horse
manshlp. Their size, when so great
as to indicate present or future un-
suitability for mounted service, will
also be considered.

Mail Order Groceries.

It is a deplorable fact that the mail
order habit is becoming prevalent in
Idaho as we'll as in states farther
east The Pocatello Advance tells of
the arrival of a carload OF mail order
groceries in that city last week:
On Tuesday a car OF groceries ar
rived from Chicago and was opened
in the local yards
Is contents was composed of con-
slgninents, ranging in value from IS
to 500. to many different residents
Of this city.
There is something wrong with a
condition that is responsible for the
ordering of ton upon ton of groceries
by private individuals from Chicago
or other outside points.
