EDITOR CHRoNIcLE:-I wonder how
many of the citizens of Custer think of
the havoc that could be made in this
town, should a fire break out during
some of our wind-storms-andt they are
with US quite often. Of course you have
splendid water power, two good hose
carts and lots of hose; and the Marshal
sees that they are in good condition and
has them in the most convenient and
most needed parts of the town. We
know that every able-bodied man in
town would do all they could in case of
a fire, but isn't Custer large enough and
got enough good, husky young fellows,
with lots Of muscle and enthusiasm, who
only want some one to organize then,
into good volunteer fire department?
1t will be good, healthy exercise and
pastime for them, and might be the
saving of valuable property to Custer
l offer this merely as suggestion. Any
one interested should zee Mr.. Parks or
the subject. Wv.

Hat Thieves Plead Guilty.

After the ball Tuesday night, num-
Der of hats were missing. Certain par
ties being suspected search warrant
was issued. Sheriff Ennis searched
premises of the culprits and finding the
hats in their possession arrested the
following persons who were arraigned
before Justice McFadden. Each one
plead guilty and was sentenced as fol-
lows:
Ed. Murphy, Frank Mollenbrink and
John Mollenbrink, each 80 days in Jail ;
and fine of $50 and costs.
James Murphy, fined SIS an d costs.
James Campbell 80 days in Jail; fine
of $40 and costs:
All placed in custody of Sheriff till
fine and costs are paid. At pr esent they
occupy quarters at Ike Ainslie's private
clearinghouse.
Only eight hats were recovered. While
more are missing it is supposed some
might have been taken by mistake and
may be exchanged within few days.
There has been considerable petty
thieving done about town this winter.
We hope this will put stop to it-and
the punishment sufficient for the boys
to see the error of their ways and lead
upright lives in the future.

MISS S. BELLE CHAMBERLAIN
OUT FOR OFFICE.

The REPUBLICAN is in receipt of
an announcement from Miss S. Belle
Chamberlain, State superintendent of
public instruction, for denomination.
Every one knows that a strong and
e1fectual system of education cannot
be built up in one or two years. 1t
requires time to work out and perfect
a system that will meet the needs of
a state of the prominence and pros
perity of Idaho. During the three
years that Miss Chamberlain has held
the office, she has compiled state
course of study; established a state
system regarding libraries, a splendid
state plan for teachers institutes, a
system of summer training schools
where the young and inexperienced
teachers may better qualify themselve
for their work, system that will
NAL with credits, plan for the ex-
aminations of teachers that assures a
uniform standard for the various
counties
She has completed the organization
of the county schol trustees in &C
cordance with law passed by the last
Legislature. This is of great import
ance as it will effect material improv
ment in small town and rural schools
and IS per cent of the children OF
Idaho attend such schools.
Another organization not yet near
perfection, is a system of consolida
ted schools wherever the plan is
feasible. In connection with this work
is the rural high school. The dis
tricts that have organized and are
operating under the plan have been
very successful and its future is as
sured. 1t is only in this way that
town and city children can have
equal advantages.
The last legislature, realizing the
fact that the Idaho School Law is not
adequate for the present condition of
the State, provided for School Law
Commission. In conjunction with this
commission, Miss Chamberlain is pre-
pairing a revised edition to preseni
t. the next session for favorable con
sideration. 1t is important that this
matter be given prompt and careful
consideration. They have visited al
parts of the state during the year IL
order to study local conditions and
embody in the new law whatever
clause necessary to assure the childrt
of Idaho a chance for good educa-
ton. AS this work is still under con-
struction, it is important and neces'
sary that Miss Chamberlain be re
t9ined in office until the plan she
has been working on for over three
years is established
We sincerely hope that Miss Cham
berlain will receive the denomination
The work so well begun can only be
carried through to perfection by the
one who has given to it so much
earnest consideration.
