companies were formed WITH lOll SdIeS
to reimburse the capitalists for the
money invested. State by state the
speaker told of the evolution of road
building.
"The modern awakening to the ne
cessity for better roads, or, as it is
more commonly called, the good roads
movement, began in 1885, when the
bicycle came into general use," said
Mr. Powers. Bicycles became popu-
lar and in consequence a large army
of users of the highways were pro-
duced. These wheelmen quickly saw
the necessity for better highways-not
only for themselves, but for all other
road users as well. They organized
themselves and began issuing litera-
ture calling the attention of the pub
lie to the great loss entailed from lack
of better roads. This literature was
sent broadcast and the newspapers
appealed to.
1.-THE press, always a potent factor
in the moulding of public opinion, took
the matter up and public sentiment
was aroused. AS a result of the agi-
tation the state of New Jersey put

What does the Journal mean by
saying that the Peoples Progressive
Improvement ticket Is catering to
the saloons? There Is not saloon
man on the ticket, and not one OF the
candidates Is drinking man. which
Is more than can be said OF the Citi-
zens' ticket, and n 1t means to insdn-
uate that any promises have been
made to the saloons they must have
come from the Citizens ticket. We
understand that the saloons are keep
ing very quiet in this fight, and the
question cannot be an issue. from the
fact that 1t was made county mat
ter by the last legislature. The Press
favored making local option mat
ter for the cities and towns to decide
for themselves, but the legislators
thought II ought to be a county is
sue and that is what they made 1t.

The Journal Ii In the position Of
the man who murdered another be-
cause q friend of his had killed a
man. II says that the treasurer OF
the city did not publish financial
statements required OF him by law
because some OF the cOuncilmen were
opposed to so doing. On the same
ground city or county treasurer
would be justified In embezzling pub
Tic funds because some other treas
urer had done so. The Kootenai
county treasurer publishes a fnan-
cial statement Of county business
each six months without attempting
TO suppress It. There is no excuse
for the refusal OF the city treasurer
to comply with the law and let the
people know what becomes OF their
money. Even Doc McEuen says 1t
should be published and then makes
an excuse for the treasurer's neglect.
II the treasurer can keep your pub
Tic business secret. the mayor and
city council can keep you in ignor-
ance Of their official acts and we
would expect this to follow the sue
cess Of the Hubbard ticket.

In this campaign Mr.. Dollar Is con-
slstent with himself and inconsistent
with the people. II the Hubbard tick
81 Ii elected he will have enough In
fluence with the administration to un-
load the Consumers water plant Ut
q big price and thereby profit on his
stock in that company. As treasurer
Of the company he would still have
the funds in his hands through the
fact that his cashier. MIR. Plat, would
be city treasurer. With @. A. De-
sauasure as superintendent OF water
works under Hubbard the eombina-
ton would be most complete.
McEuen was candidate for mayor
before the Citizens convention and
when the Job was fixed up to make
sure OF his defeat by Hubbard for the
nomination the proposal was made
to McEuen that II he was defeated he
should support the Hubbard ticket
and II Hubbard was defeated he
would support McEuen. 1t was a
sure-thing game for Hubbard and Me.
Euen Is reluctantly carrying out his
part OF the agreement. We do not
know whether pressure was brought
to bear on McEuen or not.

FIRST LADY CHAUFFEUR.

WASHINGTON, D. c, Jan. 49,
London, like the gay capital Of the
French, has her first lady chauffeur.
The innovation promises to be popu-
lar in the English metropolis. and
doubtless before long many women
perched on the drivers seat of the
''benzine buggy" will be seen fitting
about the streets here.
Miss Sheila o'Neill is the name Of
the first woman in London to take
out License enlisting her to drive a
motor car as hired chauffeur She
is an Irish girl who has seen service
in South Africa during the Boer war
as nurse, and she possesses the me-
dal for the campaign, as well as that
given BY her Majesty the Queen. She
refuses to wear either Of these in her
capacity as professional chauffeur,
but she is proud Of the distinction that
she has helped the sick and wounded
during one Of Britain's campaigns
Miss O'Neill is admirably suited in
constitution and Temperament for the
work she has chosen A charming
daughter Of Erin she is young enough
to retain the nerves Of steel necessary
to those who drive motor cars in Lon
don's crowded streets, yet old enough
TO take life sufficiently seriously to
pursue her new avocation on entirely
business lines, This lady chauffeur
carries with her a complete firstaid
equipment in the use Of which she
has been thoroughly trained. She
explains that it is chiefly for use in
casualties arising from more careless
or inefficient driving than her own.
London "Jonnies" naturally sat up
and took notice when this fair pro-
fessional chauffeur first appeared in
public. For the first day or two their
curiosity got the best Of them and
they gathered around her machine in
groups, but every courtesy was shown
her In one case, a patron tipped
her following ride from his home to
his club, This was perhaps remin-
der that Miss 0'Neill's terms Of en-
gagement make II necessary that thcr
should be no embarrassing reluctance
in the matter Of tips on the part Of
