PRESS CLUB WINS SUIT

The supreme court of Idaho ha.
just handed down a decision of i'm
f, portance to the printing trades Of
the state, and of far-reaching effect
as to building up good printing
plants In Idaho with Idaho money al
against using it to build up plants
in other states.
The case came up on appeal from
Lewiston, where the county assessor
employed Spokane printing house
to print lot of receipt books, such
as had been done satisfactorily al
home the year before, and in violation
of the law requiring that such work
shall be done in the county where
it is to be used, provided it can be
done there and at reasonable
price, and if not, then within the
state. In this case every feature of
the law was violated and the print
ers made a test case and won, so the
assessor stands guilty before the law.
The fragrant violations of the statute
in nearly all the counties of the state
are responsible for much Idaho mon
ey going out to build up printing
houses in Portland, Spokane and Chi
cago and corresponding loss to
Idaho.
For example there is no enclosing
plant in Idaho, and agents of Port
land houses have been very indus
trious in impressing all county Of
ficials with the idea that printed let
terheads such as nearly all business
men use and have produced by the
local printer, are not good enough for
county official, and they have them
done in Portland, shielding them
selves from the wrath of the local
printer by pointing to the law eff it
can be obtained within the county
or state"
A large amount of printing has
been done outside of Idaho, of those
classes that local men can do, and
now that the law has been upheld
the printing fraternity will demand
the business at home.

main lie WAS a plain homely sad. weary'looking
man to whom ones heart warmed involuntarily'
because he seemed at once miserable and Kind.
James - Fry, who became intimately acquaint'
ed with Lincoln early In the latters political ca.
reer, says; Lincoln was tall and thin; his long
bones were united by large Joints and he had long
neck and angular face and head Many Ike
nesses represent his face well enough, but mono
that have ever seen do justice TO the awkward.
and ungainlness OF his figure. His feet'
hanging loosely TO his ankles were prominent
objects. but his hands were more conspicuous even
than his feet-due perhaps TO the fact that cere'
mony at times compelled him to clothe them In
white Kid gloves, which always fitted loosely.
both In the height Of conversation and In the depth
of reflection his hand now and then ran over or
supported his head, giving his hair habftually dis
ordered aspect
His expression in repose was sad and dull. but
his everrecurrlng humor at short intervals flashed
forth with the brllliancy OF an electric light |
observed but two well defined expressions In his
countenance that OF pure. thoughtful, hon
est man. absorbed by a sense OF duty and respon'
slblty: the other. that OF humorst full OF fun
that he could not keep II all In His power OF
analysis was wonderful lie strengthened every
case he stated and no anecdote or Joke ever lost
force effect from his telling
Apropos OF his large feet there In an anecdote
told Of Lincoln when he was In the legislature:
He had walked his hundred miles to Vandalia In
1886 as he had In 1884 and when the session
closed he walked home again, gentleman OF
tachmert OF the long nine" their way home
They were all mounted except Lincoln. who had
thus far kept up with them on foot. II he had any
money he was boarding II for more important pur
poses than that of saving leg WEAKNESS and
leather The weather was raw and Lincoln's
clothing was none OF the wRTmest ...
Complaining Of being cold 20 one OF his com
panions this irreyerent member of the long nine"
told HIS future president that It was no wonder
that he was cold-"there was so much Of him on
the ground" None Of the party appreciated this
homey Joke at the expense Of his feet (they were
doubtless able to bear IN more thoroughly than
Lincoln did We imagine the cross fires Of wit
and humor by which the way enliyened during
this cold and tedious journey.
The scene was certainly rude one and seems
more like dream than reality, when we re-
member that It occurred not many years ago, In
"a state which non contains hardly less than three
millions Of people and 1000 miles Of railway.
Casslus NJ Clay In describing an address which
he delivered at Springfield In 1856 says: Lincoln
and Browning lay upon the ground whiting sticks
and heard me throughout with marked attention.
Hurrying on 10 my appointments, saw him lhen
no more | never shall forget his long ungalnly
person and plain but even then sad and thoughtful
features"
