HARD TO CONVICT.

The result OF the trial before Just
lee Geertson lest week will give the
people Of this county some idea oil
what the officers OF the law ''are up
against" In trying to enforce the
anti-gambling and the Sunday clos.
Ing laws. Generally speaking, II
would be bard to secure a jury In any
country OF a more representative
class OF citizens to set on jury than
was the case In this trial. The jury
was composed Of men, generally
speaking. whose integrity and worth
can not be questioned. They could
only take the evidence produced In
this case upon which to base their
verdict. They could do nothing less
than bring In verdict OF not guilty.
Justice Geertson was fair and i'm
partial In his ruling.
As we have intlmated, this jury
had no right to 70 back OF the sworn
testimony In rendering their verdict,
regardless OF what their private OPP
Unions may have been as to the re-
liability and credibility OF the evid.
ence OF the various witnesses. The
Recorder believes IT. Is safe In saying
that there is not one In ten of the
citizens OF Salmon, who do not be.

hearts but what the parties were

Ing law, as charged. The Jury might
have said, without violating their
oath as jurors, guilty, but not
proven.
The Recorder believes, and so does
every man who heard the evidence In
previous trials, In reference to, or
which is the outgrowth Of the issu.
Ing a certain check, that this saloon
was open contrary to law, and that
game was going on, as has
been charged, en- the Sunday after
noon and evening OF the day, as was
alleged In the complaint. But when
two witnesses 20 on the stand and
swear that such was not the case, un.
less the preponderence Ut evidence In
proof thereof, Is positive, II Is hard
to convict, whatever the opinions OF
the jury may be as To the reliability
OF the witnesses.
The Recorder does not wish TO be
understood as upholding the part
that the complaining witness took In
this transaction. He laid himself
liable TO the penalty OF the law, In
issuing check when he did not have
money In the bank, regard
less OF whether ID was In payment OF
a gambling debt or not. At the same
time this paper does give him the
credit for being the least criminal of
any OF the parties to the transaction.

HUGHES ON THE FOURTH BALLOT

After taking several weeks to max
a thorough canvass OF the country
and after submitting its figures t,
many leading republicans and revis
ing them. the Washington Post an
nounces that 1t Is convinced Gov
Hughes will be nominated at Chic
ago on the fourth ballot.
The Post is quite friendly to Sec
retray Taft. but 1t Is not allo wing its
personal liking to influence its
Judgment,
1t Is convinced that as high man
when the voting begins In the con.
vention, Mr.. Taft will be the candi.
date against whom the combination
will be- made, and he will never be
able to secure enough votes to carry
on the nomination.
1t figures out that the bulk of
Speaker Cannon's vote will 90 to Mr..
Hughes early in the fight and the
supporters Of Senator Knox will be
the next to break away.
Senator Foraker's vote will natural.
ly go to the New York man, but the
supporters OF QVce-president Fair
banks and Senator La Toilette will
stick the longest.
The Post predicts that there will
be contesting delegations from Flor.
ida. Alabama, Mississippi and Louis
lana, and that the administration
will control the national con- mittee.
so that the contestants from these
southern states that are instructed
for Mr.. Taft will be seated In the
temporary organization. and later on
the permanent one
III the Taft men should not be seat
ed the votes of these four southern
states would 90 to Senator Foraker.
Ii by any chance the Foraker del.
egates FROM the south should be seat.
ed, Secretary Taft would be out Of
the race right from the start.
A big part of his strength he ex.
poets to get from the south, where
the ofhcebolders are In control of the
various republican machines.
This forecast is given for what il
is worth, for all such predictions are
especially when they are
backed by careful investigation and
consultation with prominent mem.
oers oil the party, as the Post claims
this ono Is.

Difference of oplnion.

Mrs. Cobden-Sanderson thinks that
American women, with the possible
exception of Chicago women, are too
much interested in their own individ-
uality and think too little of the com
munity, in other words are lacking in
civic pride. In England, she says,
there is not the sharp line between
mems interests and women's interests.
but the policemen who are detailed
to keep the ladies out of the house
of commons may have a different
opinion on the subject.

What's an Inch Of RaInf

The rain fell in buckets, the thun
der racketed terribly, and the light
ming drew zigzag lines of bright gold
upon the violet sky.
$50 you. too, don't know what an
inch of rain is exactly" said the
weather clerk, as he looked at his rain
measuring instrument. Very few
people do, it seems. III explain it to
you.
An acre is 6,272,6 square inches.
An inch of water on an acre Is there
fore 6,272,640 cubic inches. That
amount, at 227 cubic inches to the
gallon, equals $4,000 gallons, or 220,-
900 pounds, or 100 tons.
An inch of rain is, in other words,
rain falling at the rate of 100 tons
to the acre."

Plant Stones o. PhIIIppIne,.
Iast Published Oct. IA. lsOS.)


PLANT stones" seem to be among
the rarest of the strange products Of
the Philippine islands. The tabashir
ia variety of opal sometimes deposit
ed in the joints Of the bamboo. and the
beautiful greenish-pink scintillating
specimens of the Philippines are stat
ed by a German publication to be
much more costly than the ordinary
opal. Thousands of canestalks may be
examined without finding one of these
curious gems. which are probably the
result of disease or. injury. Beautiful
blush pearls or stony secretions are
occasionally formed In some cocoa
nuts and are found, ranging in size
from pinheac to pea, by carefully
examining the interior of ripe nuts.
About dozen of these exquisite
Dearls-all from the Philippines-are
said to be preserved among the treas
ures of European museums.

and dressing hastily open wondow
facing the street. There she must
wait until some man passes by, who
tips his hat and says to her: Good
morrow, It's st. Valentines day" In
reply she says: "Good-morrow, sir,
I'll be your valentine" AS a usual
thing, however, the passerby is not a
stranger. A Derbyshire girl usually
keeps the shutters closed until through
some crevice in them she espies the
man she wants.
OF all observances, however, the
most popular in England is that best
known as sweeping the girls" If a
girl is not kissed by an admirer be-
fore nine o'clock on St. Valentines
morning she is said to be dusty" Ac-
cordingly all the young men of the
neighborhood on learning that some
young woman has remained unkissed
on her house with brooms, and after
sweeping her thoroughly, each of her
callers kisses her.
The French province of Lorraine has
a custom somewhat similar, which is
called beating the ladies'" 1t dates
back to the sixteenth century. On
st. Valentines morning every mar
riageable daughter is expected to arise
at daybreak and bake a heart-shaped
cake for the first young man who may
come for 1t. If she should oversleep,
however, and her lover should call to
find her all unmindful of him and the
occasion which brought him to her
door then his rivals are privileged to
punish her in the following fashion:
Armed with wisps of hay they may in
wade her room and, compelling her to
get up, they may administer not es-
pecially ungentle thrashing.
In the county of Norfolk, England.
there still survives custom which
recalls the times when st. Valentines
day was observed throughout Great
Britain and the continent by the pre-
sentation of substantial gifts. In this
way not only lovers remembered their
mistresses, but parents their children.
husbands their wives, and in the mer-
ry days of Charles H. husbands gave
presents to other mems wives.

row held in trust by the Bank of Eng

sent to the persons whom he found,
asking that they pay him $40 each for
providing proof of kinship.
