fort to form a new committee and
leave those on whom they personally
diallked. The matter was complete

and one OF the prime movers in the
scheme left standing alone when the
test vote was taken. The discussion
was heated. and served to create

Gems up TO united effort to secure
the change, and we feel satisfied that
there IL not one man who attended
the meeting who did not so from the
hall feeling that he would lend every
effort within hts power to the fight
for the county seat. This Is no time
for sulkers and the temper of the
meeting demonstrated the fact that
the people were determined to push
the contest to a successful termina-
ton. Those who sought to depose
certain members OF the committee
found public sentiment united In
sustaining the work the committee
had already performed and willing
to have II continue. with the addition
Of ten names representing men of the
leading business interests and indus
tries. which action harmoni2ed all
differences. and from this time for

sonalities into the fight and demon
strated that fact so forcihly last
night that there Is no danger of an
other attempt being made to do SO.

THE PLEA OF POVERTY

The Rathdrum committee which
is engaged in what will prove to be
q futile effort to stem the tide in
favor of removing the county seat to
this city by vote at the fall election
began its appeal to the people on the
ground of poverty and has ended it
on the plea Of poverty. On every
side and in every argument the cry
is poverty. 1t is the most pessimes-
tic wall we have heard or read since
the Wall street panic began and were
1t to be believed by the people we
would undoubtedly experience the
poverty which 1t pleads as reason
for keeping the old fire-trap at
Rathdrum as county seat until 1t
burns down and compels the people
to not only so in debt for new build
Ings. but stand the loss OF most OF
the county records. The following
is the closing plea Of the people to
further jeopardize their interests for
the sole benefit OF Rathdrum:
''In this day of selfishness and
commercial grasping we are not sur
prised that Occur d'Alene should
reach out for the county seat. Our
objection to the scheme il based on
the proposition that the people at
large ought not, at this time. to be
plunged into deeper debt to crafty
their ambition. No doubt stately
county buildings would still further
enhance the material beauty Of
occur d'Alene and lift the prices OF
town lots, but we seriously doubt
the righteousness OF compelling the
farmer the cattlemen, the mer-
chants. and the tradesmen through
out the county to pay in hard cash
for the luxury"
An examination OF the courthouse
at Rathdrum will disclose the fact
that It is in danger from fire all the
time during cool weather, II is

finder, with defective flues and liza

whether It should have modern

OfflceP Is Under Serious Charge IN
New York.
NEW YORK, March 13.-When
Policeman Edward M. Will, charged
with having contributed to the moral
delinquency of a 15-year-old girl, is
placed on trial tomorrow, others of
New York finest" may also be made
to bear the stigma of his disgrace.
VIII was discovered with Rosie
Hoffman, in her fathers fiat in West
Forty-flfth street, and was shot by
the girls brother, the bullet inflict-
ing flesh wound in the leg. Hoff-
man was paroled and the policeman
will now have to submit to a judi
ciary inquiry into his love affairs.
Relatives OF the Hoffman girl de-
clare that Will Is not the only po-
liceman responsible for her misfor-
tune and that she is not the only
girl who has been led from the path
of virtue by the lure of a blue uni
form and brass buttons.
Will has a good record on the
police force. Rosie Hoffman is in
the hands of the Children's society,
AT the preliminary hearing she re-
fused to testify against the police
man, and would not admit her age
until her twin sister testified that
she was not quite 16. Will said she
told him she was IS. He denied
that there had been any improper
relations in spite of the incriminat-
ing circumstances under which he
was found.

WILL CHALLENGE WINNER
Billy Papke and Hugo Kelly to Meet

IA MAAAW&1AGGe
MILWAUKEE,, wis, March H.
With the fight between Billy Papke
and Hugo Kelly now but three days
distant, the numerous fans Of the
Cream City are beginning to sit up
and take notice. All of the prelim-
mary arrangements have been made
by the Milwaukee Boxing club, and
all that remains is the talk, the bet
ting and the fight. AL Bright Of this
city has been chosen as the third
man in the ring and the selection
meets with universal approval of
both principals and fans. Addition
al interest is manifested in the mill
because of the fact that Stanley
Ketchell, the young Montana middle
weight, has announced his intention
of challenging the winner for the I'M
disputed championship OF the mid
dleweight division. Advances have
already been made by Manager Coff-
roth of San Francisco for such a
bout, to go As rounds and to be
pulled OF some time in April.
Papke is favorite among ma
jority Of the fans OF Beertown, who
look upon him as the most remark
able youngster that ever entered a
ring. He Is now in good shape for
the fight, and, II the consensus Of
the competent counts for anything,
ne should find little trouble in best
Ing Kelly.
In that case. Papke and Ketchell
will undoubtedly soon have an OPP
portunlty to try conclusions, and it
will be battle of young giants that
every sport in the country will be
anxious to see.

The question OF the legal restraint
OF anarchy Is being much discussed
az the present time. There is no
question OF the right OF the state to
pass laws against incendiary and an
archistic speech. but the diificulty
arises IN the inability to distinguish
It from the free speech guaranteed
by the Constitution. This guarantee
does not mean license to teach an

Considerable levlty has marked the
discussion in some quarters Of the
flag OF the United States frigate Ches-
ppeake. which Captain Lawrence de-
Tended with his life In 1918 by lighting
against great odds the British frigate
Shannon Off Boston. The action was
one OF the historic ship duels OF mod
ern times. ANY souvenir OF that fight,
the view OF which will make men and
women and boys and girls recall the
deeds of Lawrence and his crew, IL a
national prize, regardless Of Its history
meanwhile.
But this Lawrence flag Is more than
that 1t is a rare souvenir Of the de-
yclopment Of Old Glory Itself. II was
upon such dag that Francis Scott
Key saw the broad stripes and bright
stars in the mornings dim light" that
led to his beautiful conception OF our
national fiag song. This flag had If
teen stripes and fifteen stars. one
stripe and one star for each state sup
posedly, although there were in fact
seventeen states at the time OF the
Chesapeake-shanno duel. The flag
designed by Washington had thirteen
stripes and thirteen stars. The rule
then was star and a stripe for each
state. Now the rule Is a star for each
state and only thirteen stripes, as orig
inally designed to represent the thir-
teen colonies forming the Union when
the flag Yves adopted. In 1918 the thir-
teen stripe regulation was again adopt
ed. and 80 the Lawrence flag is a
model which obtained only from 1874
to 1918, This covered the war OF 1912,
with lts memories Of Fort McHenry,
Old Ironsides and Jackson's cotton
bales at New Orleans. as well as the
peaceful raising Of the stars and stripes
over the French tricolor when the Lou
lslana Purchase was ceded to this
country in 1903. Surely this is a relic
to awaken patriotic interest and vener-
alton.

CARLYLE As A
LIBRARY FOUNDER

Carlyle's work as founder was men
toned at the annual meeting of the
London Library. The library was the
only one of Carlyle's schemes which
really found concrete realization.
When, in 1889, having finished his
French Revolution" he started to
read for Cromwell" he found that he
could not get on for want of a leading
library from which he could borrow
standard books on his subject The
British Museum was too noisy for his
sensitive nerves. He at once began to
set on foot a movement for a leading
library for the use of students and
literary men. He canvassed his friends
in the cause; wrote himself an article,
the only anonymous one he ever
wrote, in the Examiner, which he call
ed in letter "a fierce blast" and
even addressed public meeting called
early in 1910 to push the scheme This
speech, one of the few he evr made,
was fine piece of humorous argumen-
tation. Carlyle was secretary to the
movement Before long the London
Library was an accomplished fact.
Even in his Craiggenputtock days
Carlyle had written about the need of
libraries in towns. Why, he asked,
should there not be "a majesty's IL
brary'' in every county town, as well
as "a maJesty's gaol and gallows?"
He thought a lending library in Lon
don was "scandolously wanted" and
added: IF London must lie bookless,
heaven and earth shall Witness" 1t
was "a shameful anomaly" In his
speech Carlyle said it was easier for
peasant in Iceland to get books than
Londoner. Gibbon, it was said,
would not have written his history il
he not been rich enough to spend
37OOO on books. CARLY ewas presi-
dent of the library in 1S7O.-Manches-

NEW BATTLESHIP FAILS
TO ATTAIN EARLY S

RoCKLAND (Me.), August 21.-The
new battleship Montana had screw
Standardization trial on the Rockland
course today and made two top-speed
runs at twenty-one Knots. Her aver
age of five high-speed runs during her
builders acceptance trial last April
was 22.03. Today's failure to reach
those figures is ascribed in part to a
new crew. The Montana went over
the measured mile ten times today
making two runs at 10, ~, Ia, 1S and
Fl knots. She was under forced
draught a portion of the time. Next
week she will have another test under
deep draught.
