GOVERNOR SCORES
TAFT FOR PARDON
Executive of Idaho Says Presi
dents Act Brings Justice
Into Disrepute.

Boise. Idaho. November l5.-C;oycr-
nor James II. Hawley to-day gave out
signed statement addressed to the
people of Idaho. in which he condemns
the action of President Taft in grant
Ing pardon yesterday to Clarence w.
Robnctt bookkeepcr In the Lewiston
National Bank, of Lewiston, Idaho. He
was convicted OF embezzling funds of
the bank and was sentenced in thu
Federal court at Idaho Springs to ten
years imprisonment. He never en-
tered upon the service of his sem
tence
i feel that the pardon of Robnctt
Is a lifting sequel to the proceedings
in the United states court during the
last four years, while the special as
sistants to the United States Attorney
General have been usurpng the func-
lions of the United States Attorney
and his assistants, and have been run
ming the cases In which the United
states has been Interested with high
hand. regardless of justice or deccncy."
The statement sets forth:
u am not surprised at this pardon.
In fact, no act ever done in connection
with the courts OF Idaho has so brought
justice into disrepute and weakened the
courts in the estimation of our people
For more than four years, in esvery
important case in which the United
States was interested. the regular
prosecuting officers have been retired
and these special assistants to the At
tor-Gcnerai have been given full con-
troll Without the sl.ghtset interest in
our State, caring nothing for our peo-
pie, simply DESTROYS of establishing a
reputation In the Department of JUS
ticc these special prosecutors have
don more to injure Idaho and rctard
its development since the fall of 1907
than all other causes combined
The Injustice of this action of Pres
ident Taft. inspired without doubt by
the special prosecutors, will long
rankle in the minds of our citizens
and will inspire them with a wholesale
contempt for such disgraceful methods
ut is probably unfair to severely
blame President Taft directly for this
unspeakable action, as he undoubtedly
acted at the request of Attorn ey General
Wickersham, who evidently had been
in collision with his associates i'll

REGRET THAT AMERICANS
FAILED OF RECOGNITION
Prizes Awarded by the Jurors AT
international Art Exhibition
n Rome.

Rome. November l5.-The grand
jury at the International Art EXPOSE
ton, to whom Is intrusted the nHgl
award of prizes, to-day decided ten
grand prizes Tor paintings and sculp-
turc.. and eight grand prizes for
workers In black and white, and many
second prizes. -Four OF the eleven
Jurors are Italians.
All OF the Jurors express regret that
the American artists were deprived Of
the recognition due them. They were
excluded from the competition because
of tho closing of the American pavilion
by the American commissioning
erai, Harrison S. Morris. on October
81. when the insurance was permitted
to lapse. He was not willing to ex-
pose the 100000 worth OF exhibits
to the danger OF loss by fire.
1t is agreed that II the American
works had been judged, John Singer
Sargent would have received a grand
prize. while the black and white eX-
hibits of Jessie Wilcox Smith, Eliza
beth Shipper Green and Jules Germ
and the McClaughen and Webster eX-
hibits of etchings were the best
shown.
Joseph Pennell. who Is a member OF
the jury. was much distressed that no
prizes could go TO America, but said
that the judging was perfectly fair.

TO GET RID OF
RHEUMA 7XSM

If we suffer with rheumatism and
desire to get rio of il we must make
up our minds to subject our systems
to the proper course OF treatment for
while. The only way to cure
oneself Of Rh ,umatisn. is to remove
the cause-expel the irritating uric
acid from the blood; every other
method OF treatment has proved
failure. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism
because 1t is the greatest of all blood
purifiers. This medicine goes down
into the circulation and expels every
particle o. the sour, inflammatory
uric acid which ic the one great cause
of the disease. The cure can be
greatly iasteneo by 4 little care and
self denial by The patient. In the
hrst place 10 not LET anything inter-
fere to prevent your taking S. S. S.
regularly and according to directions;
be guarded ,'',ur eating, because
an attack OF IN igestion will always
aggravate the symptoms OF Rheuma-
tism. Do n expose yourself to
damp and irclenent weather any
more than is necessary. When S. S. S.
has had time to lid the blood of the
uric acid and strengthen the system,
then these little restrictions can be
left off. This simple course has cured
many thousands of cases of Rheuma-
tism. Boob on Rheumatism and any
medical advice iree. S. S. S. is sold
at drug stores.

rather than sentimental standpoint,
with the result that slums and I'M
healthy parts of the cities are being
done away with.
IT is not due TO pltlful tales of
suffering and wrong that our cities
are beginning to consider the posi-
bility OF wiping out the slum," said
the speaker. ut is due TO the growing
realizations that the slum means an
economic loss; that it's presence fndt-
Gates Ignorance on the part of the
citizens and incfficicncy on the part
OF the government"
From an inquiry made amongst
health and police officials OF leading
cities of the country, Mr.. Ihlder drew
the conclusion that in nearly all cities
tho full import Of unsanitary housing
OF the people IS not known. In many
places Investigations are now being
made TO determine just what effect
the evils of crowdins and slum living
have on the people.

Before entering upon his review OF
