A MIs-sTATEMENT OF FACTS.

The Pocatello Tribune of Saturday,
features supposed communicate ton frcn
Alex Younie, relative to the case of
James Conger VS.. Alex Younie and
John G. Brown, which is virtually an
attack on Judge J. M. Stevens Of the
sixth judicial district. Mr.. Younie
asked for and was granted change
venue In the trial referred to, but ow-
ing to the fact that Judge Bulge, be-
fore whom the trial subsequently came
up, was unable to give the case suffi-
cient Of his time, the case was ap-
pealed.
Mr.. Younie states that he at no time
takes exceptions to either the ruling
of Judge J. M. Stevens or Judge Bulge
that he considered he was entitled to
a change of venue and he availed him
self of that privilege, and that in doing
sp 1t becamenecessary to give some res
son for SO doing and that he made af-
fidavit as part Of the necessary pro-
ceedure that he believed Judge Stevens
prejudiced against the defendantsy but
that that part of the affidavit as pub
lished by the Tribune which reads
THAT the present Judge of this court
has already and before the said cause
has been submitted to him in any man
ner known to our law stated that he
has an opinion as to which party to
said action ought to, and would, pre-
vail" is absolutely false, that he never
made the statement, that there is no
record of such statement and that it
was pure fiction on the part of the
writer, as well as the following
"Mr. Younie insists that a grand
jury should be empaneled to inquire in
to the indiscretions and irregularities Of
the district court This Judge Stevens
has refused to do and the following De-
tition to Governor Hawley is being cir
culated."
Mr.. Younie further states that he
has never read a copy of the Pocatel-
10 Tribune, did not know that it had
commented on the trial of the lawyers
of Blackfoot or Justice G. Fl. Stewart
as stated in thefollowing'
Mr. Younie praised the editorial
management Of the Tribune in COM
menting on the recent criminal libel
suit between Blackfoot attorneys and
for the editorial on retaining Justice
George H. Stewart on the supreme
bench, because he needed the position
to ease his financial position. Mr..
Younie, however, approves of the last
legislature in helping the aged jurist.'

JUDGES NOW YIELDING
TO PUBLIC SENTIMENT

Even in the matter of judicial de-
Cisions there is evidence that the
judges are awake to the need Of mod
flying old rules of law in order to
make them better fit modern condi-
tons. Just before the election there
was a somewhat heated controversy
on one side-between Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr. Root, with three or four other
eminent lawyers. They alleged that n
the formers criticisms of certain de-
Cisions of the New York court of az
peals, the law had been misstated and
the exact ground and effect of the de-
cisions misapprehended. The disput-
ants did not really address themselves
to the same point; but in his reply Mr..
Roosevelt had the facts on his side
when he asserted that, whatever may
have been the case with the early de-
cision regarding the assumption OF
risk by an employee, the latest decision
by the court of appeals took different
and more humane view.
The case in question was that of
Fitzwater versus Warren, which was
decided on October %. The opinions
were printed in the Law Journal o,
November 4. The question of a mas
ters liability for injury to a servant
was involved, and, in brief, the decis-
ion was that public policy precludes
an employee from assuming risk Gre
ated by his employers violation of 4
statute (for safety appliances, etc. or
from waving liability of the latter for
injuries caused thereby" In his ma
jority opinion-two judges dissenting
Chief Justice Cullen was very frank
in admitting that the court had depart
ed from its earlier doctrine But he
pointed out that the federal courts had
taken a different view of the law of
employers liability, and also that the
doctrine of the Kinsley case has been
largely qualified, If not virtually over
ruled" by subsequent decision of the
court Of appeals itself. After the ar
gument from the law and from cases
cited, the chief justice closed his opin-
ion with some very striking words be-
ginning directly upon the general mat
ter we are discussing. Judge Cullen
said:
The statute which the defendants
violated was enacted for the express
purpose of safeguarding the persons
of employees. Where an employer de-
liberately fails to comply with the sta
tute the courts should be loath, except
in a very clear case, to hold that the
employe assumes the risk Of his mas
ter's violation of the law Otherwise
the be7efcent results sought to be at
tanned by the statute will fail to be re-
allied There seems at the present
day an effort by constitutional amend
ment to render a master liable to his
cmplOye for injury received In ms
though the master has
been guilty OF no fault whatever, and
l feel that such effort is in no small
measure due to the tendency evinced
at times by the courts to relieve the
master, though concededly at fault,
from liability to his employe on the
'heory that the latter assumed the
risk OF the masters fault"
Such manifest readiness OF the

CHILDREN'S KIDNEYS
No Americas Mother Should Neglect
the Little Ones Health.

Oftentimes weak kidneys cause
great annoyance and embarrassment
to children. Inability to control the
kidney secretions, at night or while at
play, is attributed to carelessness and
too frequently the child is punished.
Parents having children troubled with
kidney weakness would do well 10
treat the kidneys with a tested and
proven kidney remedy. If there is pain
in the back, discolored urine, irreg
ular urination, headaches, dizzy spells
or a tired, WORKOUT feeling, try Doan's
Kidney Pills at once. A remedy thar
has been used in kidney trouble for
over so years and has been recon-
mended by thousands. Proof of merit
in an Americas citizens statement.
Mrs. Essie. Query, 524 Lamar ST
Americas, Ca, says: Our little daugh
ter complained a great deal of pain
and weakness through her back and
kidneys and about two months ago
when someone advised a trial of
Doan's Kidney Pills began giving
this remedy to the child. 1t did her n
great amount of good, strengthening
her kidneys and helping her so much
that she is now an altogether different
girl. / do not hesitate to say that
Deans Kidney Pills are an excellent
kidney medicine and strongly recon-
mend them to all persons afflicted
with kidney complaint"

ands of years that men and women
had not learned how much happiness
depends upon business-like system in
the economies of the home.
You would think" she explained.
that the fact would now be estab-
lished that the setting aside of
definite sum for the use Of the wife
each week makes for happiness Yet
there are many young people who
marry without seeming to realize that.
The economic dependence of the wife
is an enormous factor in the unhap-
piness of marriages.
ITO make young people think before
marrying" continued Mrs. Austin, 81

posed Of married people and havin2
more women than men. 1t is terrible
that young girls and boys should be
able to rush off and marry on few
hours notice.

father died in a lunatic asylum? Dc
you know that he had two brothers in

And to say to John, Do you know that
Sallie's family has a tendency to tu-

IF, after knowing these things
and when they have waited say three
weeks, after giving notice of their de-
sire to malry-they should decide TO
marry anyway, they should not be for
hidden. But don't let them enter into
it hastily or ignorantly."
Mrs. Austin believes that the prob
lem of today is How to Mate Prop
erly."
AS life grows more complicated the
problem grows more difficult" she
told the Legislative leaguers. The
Indians have little trouble in mating
because their interests are few and
simple. But it is different in a
highly civilized life.
! Another difficulty is that women do
not realize that through all his civili-
cation man retains the instincts of his
past. He is still predatory. So it fire.
quently happens today that man in
middle life who has attained COM
Portable station, and who may have
satisfactory marriage relations, may
lapse into conditions that obtained In
primitive times"

Sees Only Two Divorce Grounds,
They Are Drink and Stinginess

Los Angeles. Cal, Nov, 26.-Drink
and stinginess are the. only two
grounds for divorce, according to Mrs.
Mary Austin, the writer of the books
about the desert and Indian plays.
Il do not consider infdelity neces-
sarily a cause for divorce" she told
the women members of the Legislative
league in New York, and the women
members Of the Legislative league
have been gasping since. But the
league members gave her views their
approval by according her a rising
vote of thanks.
Mrs. Austin delivered herself of
many bits of philosophy that her
women auditors assert have given
them cause to think, but there were
two statements in her address that ex-
citest the Invest comment. One of
these was:
Il would consider it a far stronger
cause for divorce If my husband made
me ask him for every so cents than if
he committed occasional irregularities
with other women"
The other was:
Il do not consider infidelity neces-
sarily a cause for divorce. Drunken
ness or the drug habit is a far
stror ger reason for demanding a sew
erance of the marriage ties"
The authoress is making study of
marriage and divorce with the view of
writing a new book, which will have
that for its theme She has evolved
three schemes for increasing the num-
Der of happy marriages and decreasing
the number of divorces.
Schemes For Happy Marriages.
She would:
Have sex psychology and "the bust
ness organization of marriage" taught
in schools.
Have more stringent marriage re-
strictions, including a commission to
investigate the forbears of candidates
for matrimony.
Have all divorce cases tried in pri-
vate.
Discussing the first of these three
domestic happiness nostrums, Mrs
Austin said to the Legislative league:
Every school curriculum should in
clude instruction in the results of pas
sion, of sex relationship and of jeal-
ousy."
She added that it was strange las
there had been marriages for thous-

Taken Literally.

The parish tea was over, and the
curate stood up to say few words to
the recipients before they dispersed.
He spoke in eloquent terms of the i'm
pecuniosity of curates in general, and
then went on to say, in apparently
touching tones:
'Why, even as l stand before you
now have only half a shirt on my
back"
A few days later the reverend gen.
tleman received a parcel containing
half-a-dozen new shirts, accompanied
by a card bearing the name of one of
his fair Though, alas! no longer
young parishioners. At the earliest
opportunity he called upon the lady
and thanked her for the gift, and then
proceeded to ask what had prompted
the kind action.

An AeropIane Needed

Washington, Feb. 15.-American

make many long and tiresome gal
lop that would be unnecessary, 1t is
said in army circles here, if the bor-
der force had an aeronaut squad. An
example is cited in the order given
Colonel Steevers' cavalrymen to ride
Sc miles over sand from Ell Paso to
lBaileN's ranch, near columbus, N.
M, to investigate report that armed
Mexican revolutionists were pillaglng
and stealing cattle across the Amerl'
can boundary. An aeroplane could
have made the return trip within a
few hours and its driver would have
had the advantage of the cavalry
men in his ability to have a looR
over the boundary line.
There is an army aeroplane at Sar
Antonio, Texas, that was used sue
cessfully during the Madero reVolu
ton. It is worthless to the pordel
guards now because no crew has neei
provided for 1t.

A Diplomatic Move.

San Francisco, Feb. 15.-Cable-
grams protesting against the election
of Premier Yuan Shi Kai to the presi-
dency of the Chinese republic have
been forwarded by representatives of
the majority of the Chinese in North
and South America to the assembly at
Nanking. The Chinese Republic as
sociation cabled the assembly from
its offices in San Francisco that Yuan
Shi Kai was Objectionable because OF
his friendly relations with the Manchu
dynasty. He was branded in the
cablegram as an Constructor of pro-
gress."
The news of Yuan's election caused
depression in the local Chinese quar-
ter. Republicans who supported DR.,
Sun Vat Sen remain loyal to him and
declare they will follow his instruc-
tions. Local republican leaders did
not take DR.. Suns resignation seri-
ously until today. They regard Yuan
Shi Kai's election to the presidency as
diplomatic move to pacify northern
China, the Manchu's stronghold.

New York, Feb. 15.-Twenty-fiv,
thousand dollars in currency wa!
stolen today from taxicab in the
heart of the financial district by three
! highwaymen who sprang into the We
hicle and overpowered William F
Smith and Frank Wardell, messen
gers of the East River National bank
| Both messengers were seriously in
jured and the robbers escaped with
the money $4,000 in dollar bills and
$4,000 in hundred dollar bills. The
currency was being transported from
the Produce Exchange bank in the
lower part OF the city.
The taxicab had proceeded up
Broadway without mishap when, for
some reason, the chauffeur turned
west on Rector street into Church
street, skirting the side and rear of
Trinity churchyard About midway of
the old ceemtery three men sprang
from the curb. One jumped on the
chauffeur's seat; the other two got
into the vehicle. The man on the
seat pressed a revolver in his over
coat pocket against the side of the
chauffeur, Gino Martini, and COM
manded him to drive swiftly on with
out making an outcry. Inside the We
hicle the two robbers were belaboring
the bank messengers over the head.
Smith, one of the messengers, is 61
years old and was bleeding and al
most unconscious when the taxicab
reached Park Place, few blocks
north. Wardell was badly beaten
about the head but not seriously hurt.
At Park Place the highwaymen
jumped from the taxicab bearing
tin box which they had wrested from
the messengers and which contained
the currency. In a flash they had
sprung into a big black automobile
which seemed to be awaiting their
coming and were quickly lost in the
maze of traffic.
Martini, the taxicab chauffeur, con-
tinued to run his machine until he
found policeman. He gave the alarm
and the two injured messengers were
taken to a police station. Smiths
condition was so serious that he was
removed to a hospital. Wardell's
scalp was badly lacersted but be-
cause of his youth he stood the fight
