NO GLORY FOR IDAHO.

Congressman Hamer of Idaho had
no share in the insurgent move
ment that resulted in the downfall
of Cannonism in congress Saturday,
and his action in standing with the
regulars in an endeavor to perpetu-
ate the autocratic rule Of Cannon
has no glory in il for Idaho or honor
for Hamer.
The ideas which Cannon and his
lieutenants stand for is repugnant
to the great mass Of Idaho people,
and Congressman Hamer will have
powerful lot of explaining to do
when he comes up for re. election.
Times are changing rapidly in this
country. The man elected TO CON
gress cannot vote contrary to the
wishes Of his constituents without
being called TO account. Cannon
ism had become an evil. Public
sentiment demanded change and
won. The gentleman from Idaho
had an opportunity TO serve the peo-
pie who elected him and to win glo-
ry and honor for his state. He fail
ed TO grasp it. Instead. he lined up
with the men who believe in OBJ
structive rather than constructive
legislation, because it best serves
the interests they represent. Idaho
deserves better representation than
that and the people should see that
she gets Il at the coming election.

MANY PROSECUTIONS
ARE NOW UNDER way
WlckeTsham's Report One Long
Story Of Fraud

Washington, Dec. 13.-The annual
report of Attorney General Wicker
sham, just presented to congress, is
one long story of frauds against the
government
Trusts, so called and real, their al
legged conspiracies to defeat the law;
land frauds, customs frauds, frauds on
the internal revenue, rebates, bucket
shops and fraudulent uses of the mails
have made 1910 the most strenuous
year in the history of the department
of justice. Mr.. Wickersham states
that only the earnest and enthusiastic
work of the men of his force has made
the work successful.
"The salaries paid are small" he
says, "and the funds available for spe-
cial counsel do not permit the payment
OF fees which bear any comparison
with those offered by private interests.
But, Notwithstanding those obstacles,
the department Is fortunate in having
been able to secure the services of
earnest and competent lawyers, to
whose ability and industry are due
the very large measure of success that
has attended the management of the
legal business of the government dur.
ing the year"

New York, Dec. 13.-General Jose
E. Zelaya, deposed president of Mica
rague and for nearly twenty years the
despot of his country, is not happy in
his exile in Belgium, according to his
son Alphonse, who is a student at Co

$4,000, 0,000-all safely invested out
side his own country-he has written
to his son that he wants to return to
Nicaragua to finish his life in peace

dissatisfied with his surroundings and
with only ambition to return to Mica

Paris, Dec. 13.-The romance OF
Nine. Eeanes and Emilio de Gogorza,
which has more or less occupied the
minds of the music loving public and
of grand opera singers for several
years, will have another chapter added
to it in March, when the celebrated
artists will be married in this city.
This is made possible by a decree of
divorce just issued here in favor OF De
Gogorza.
Nine Eames is living in this city and
expects to remain here through the
winter Mr.. de Gogorza is on a con.
cert tour in the United States and will
not be able to return to Paris until
March.
The friendship of Nine. Eames and
the handsome singer was responsible
for their names being coupled in the
public prints extensively a couple of
years ago. At that time the former
Nine de Gogorza brought suit against
the prima donna for alienation of her
husbands affections.
Emma Eames also is Divorce. Her
husband was Julian Story, the artist,
and for many years they were looked
upon as devoted couple and peculiar
ly suited to each other.
1t is said among their friends here
that Nine. Eames and De GogorZa will
make another concert tour of America
next season.

The only means of communication be

 DRUG LICENSE
 IS SUSPENDED

The commission will inquire further into the case before deciding whether the license will be revoked or returned to the doctor. who conducts two drug stores. one at Penn broke and Cedar streets, and one at Commercial and Main streets.
 The new State pharmacy law gives the Pharmacy Commissioners power to revoke the license of any druggist who violates the excise laws of the State. The law was directed at druggists who have made a business of selling liquor by the glass. Cippola. who opened his Main street store as a branch of his East Bridgeport store. failed to get a liquor license from the County Com missioners and he had a number of Italian cordials and tonics exposed for sale which the County Commissioners said would require a license. Cippola said that he had an internal revenue license and that was enough. He was prosecuted and fined in the City court and after taking an appeal to the Su- rerfor court was fined there
