POINTER FOR THE SALOONS.

All the liquor traffic has to do to
save itself from extinction is TO submit
to such reasonable regulations as exist
in Germany, land to which we are so
often cited as one Of personal liberty.
In Germany saloons are not loafing
places provided with tables and chairs
for idlers. Chairs and tables are 10 be
found in gardens, but nowhere, either
in gardens or saloons, is card playing,
pool playing or any form of gambling
permitted Saloon licenses are not
issued to other than reputable and dis
Greet men, and such license is invari-
ably forfeited by any such violation Of
the law. Moreover (and this is
parhaps the most important distinction
OF alb, the saloons of Germany are not
suffered to become a separate force in
politics, organized along the lines Of
class interest, holding themselves to
be balance of power between parties
and arrogating to themselves privileges
and immrnities not enjoyed by other
classes. The Germans have their
drinking places so well under control
that they can afford to let them run
every day in the week.-St. Louis

WILL LAND GO UP?

Will land go up, or will real estate
values fall7 This is question being
asked by many and the opinion Of the
best posted is on the side of higher
real estate values. This theory is
based on the fact that land, after all, is
the safest security on earth. 1t is the
soil from which man must ever rely for
food. Panic or prosperity the human
family must'be fed, and the demand
for food .stuffs will exist as long as man
inhabits the earth. Recognizing this
fundamental fact men instinctively turn
: to the first great source Of all wealth
soil-and find here the only safe security
fer their wealth. Now, when stocks
and bonds are OF questionable value
the man with a few dollors of surplus
money will be in the market for some
thing ..ppln which he can rely for
absolute security, and real estate, offer
ing the only safe investment, will be
in demand Adversely, the man with
real estate will not sell, his money be-
ing already most securly invested.
The fact that land does offer the SAT-
est possible investment will make real
estate loans in demand. In order to
get these loans the man with money
will seek them and with these loans at
a premium the interest rate will gradual
ly shrink. With low interest land will
increase in value. 1t always has and
always will. There will be no excep-
ton here. Already long time farm
loans are sought at five and six per
cent. This will force up the price of
land which is now quo ed at a figure
far below its true value.
True, there may be exceptions to
this. There are some who have
bought farms on time and squeeze
may force this class 10 secriice their
holdings, but the man who is out OF
debt will not be found offering his land
at snap figure.

A MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE.

For the second time the jury in the
Adams trial has failed TO convict, this
time in the face Of evidence so strong
and direct that it is hard to believe
there are eight fair-minded men in the
United States who would hesitate to
decide in favor Of verdict OF guilty.
1t is beyond comprehension 10 under
stand how these eight Jurors who voted
for acquital did so in the light OF the
evidence. That they ignored the
evidence is plain; that they were pre-
JUDGED and untitled for the response
BILE work placed in their hands is also
plain. The average citizen does not
hesitate to say that he believes convic-
ton was impossible regardless OF evil
dence. II there was room for reason
able doubt where was it7 In what
particular did the state fail7 In moth
ing. On other hand the witnesses for
the defense were uncertain, conflicting

q, It is quite evident that the state OF
Idaho has at least one veW lame law,
il, indeed, such law really exists. At
the last session OF the county board
the matter of county aid to public
roads came up. There were some
new roads that needed assistance. one
of these is the fancy Troy-M Moscow
road. We include Moscow because
the proposed road shortens the distance
from the fancy district to the county
seat something like seven miles. The
people have already spent a great deal,
Troy donating about $3.50. The
farmers interested have donated much
work, and Commissioner Lamb per-
sonally inspected the route, part Of
which is very bad. In order to make
a decent highway it will require the
expenditure Of several hur dred dollars
in addition to every available cent.
Mr.. Lamb was hopeful that a reason
able amount could be had when the
board met. But at the last session
County Attorney Stillinger discovered
a law which forbids such expenditures,
and none was made. 1t was the first
and only cent Troy has even remotely
been interested in, and there was no
idea in the minds Of the people here
and in the country east that aid would
be denied. Mr.. Lamb says he is very
much disappointed because he has
examined the ground and feels that
this road, as much as any in the county,
should be opened.
1t is certainly not very compliment
airy to Mr.. Stllinger that it took him
thee years to make discovery of so
much importance to the people. The
law should have been a bar to other
sections Of the county. II such a law
is in force it should have been brought
to the attention Of the Legislature and
repealed. Think OF i'll Here in east
ern Latah, a district comprising the
very best and richest lands in our
county, section paying in thousands
of dollars annually in taxes, has from
the beginning been compelled to build
its own bridges, make its own roads,
and do its own public improvement.
Other sections could get assistance,
the county even violating the law to
purchase expensive road machinery,
but eastern Latah might just as well
have been in the bottem of the sea Sc
far as assistance was concerned. II
never has received a penny. Fol
years these farmers have gone out OIL
their way seven miles, total Of four
teen miles, every time they went tc
the county seat, and after spending
several hundred dollars and lot Of
hard work, their request for little as
sistance is turned down through the
discovery Of law that prevents the
board from making donations. In oul
opinion it's d. poor discovery.

QUITE A DIFFEREN

II you still have one of those special
reports of the expert who went over the
records OF Latah county the first Of this
year you will find, by turning to the
page under the head OF Fees" some
very interesting reading. Beginning
with the term Of VIM. Buchanan,
sheriff, in 1899, that Office went from
fees to a salary. Fees were there
after. to be turned into the county
treasury. At the end OF a two year
term Mr.. Buchanan turned over
$1337.98. ]. R. Collins another re-
publican, served two years and turned
in only $611.0l. Then James ].
Keane came in for term and the rec
ords show that he collected but $401-
.28 in two years. Mr.. Keane was a
democrat. Following this w. M.
Robbins was elected by the republicans
and at the end of term had turned
into the county treasury in fees 1887.
40. So far as the News can ascertain
all of these officials were operating
under the same law, so that the figures
are fair comparison. But they show
a difference in revenue that is hard to
figure out. 1t certainly looks rather
bad for Mr.. Collins and sheriff Keane,
and would indicate that they were at
least poor collectors. The News is.
however, making no charges of dis
honesty. We say it looks rather
bad' and there are some who are
wondering how such discrepancy
were possible. The voters will at
least admit that William Buchanan and
William Robbins. (the latter elected
only after undergoing the most vicious
and disgraceful attack ever made upon
any candidate in this county, have left
records that makes Mr.. Collins and
Mr.. Kean's records look something
like the proverbial thirty cents"

and plainly illogical. That most Of
them were liars no fair-minded man
will doubt, and above all this stands
the confession Of Adams, coroborated
by letters written by himself, admitting
his guilt. Yet the jury, eight of the
twelve, said they believed Mr.. Adams
innocent. By their verdict these men
have proven the utter worthlessness of
the American jury system, and this trial,
or miscarriage of justice, ought to con-
vince the thoughtful citizen of the fact
that it is time to cast it aside.

The editor of The Capital Journal
had a conference this forenoon with

missioner Needham, in which the
county finances and the road situa-
tion we're gone over, and the men,
bers of the county court agreed to
adopt a general policy, in extension
of what has been really the past pol
icy of the county court-of Offering
to cooperate with the people in
some extensions of main highways
between important places in the
county. A plan is to be outlined by

Gated by this paper, of uniting the
abutting property owners, the cities

nent highways. The matter Is to be
taken up at once, and this much can
be said. The county court has
agreed at the earliest possible date
to put crushed rock on the convict
built road from Salem to the reform
school, and to accept the offer made
by Governor Chamberlain to extend
that highway to Turner.
What Else VIII BE Done.
Just which way to stroke the fur
OF the county court to get results in
another direction remains to be de-
cided. They are willing to take up
the matter of building a main high
