lnsanitary County
Jail Condemned

State Pure Food Commissioner
James H. Wallis, who has returned
from his recent trip through the
northern section Of the state and who
while in the north, condemned the
I4atah county Jail, declared that there
are other jails in the state In nearly,
IL not quite, as bad condition as the
Latah county prison. He declares that
it Is his intention to condemn all jails
which are not fit places for the con-
finement Of men on the theory that in
this age Of civilization, it is not neces-
sary that even prisoners should be
confined in insanitary prisons. He
especially condemns the CONTINENT
pf witnesses and persons merely
charged with crimes. but not convict
ed, in such unhealthy surrounding.
Mr.. Wallis believes that every county
commissioner and every sheriff in the
state. as well as people generally,
should be advised Of the conditions
The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1912-05-23

found in the Latah county Jail which
was condemned These conditions are
fully explained in the following state
ment made by Mr. Wallis to the board
of county commissioners:
Gentlemen An official inspection
of your court house and county Jail,
made April %, 1912, reveals conditions
that are almost incredible to believe
could exist, and while no blame can be
attached either to your honorable
body or to the sheriff for these condi-
lions. yet that does not change the
fact that they are deplorable, and
should not and must not exist, mas.
much as human life is involved, to say
nothing of the irreparable loss of your
valuable records.
l am well aware of the difficulties
under which men, occupying your po-
sition, labor In the first place you
are restricted by law to very limited
expenditure of money for improve
ments, and therefore with such limit
ed help 1t Is out of the question to at
tempt any reform looking to the rem.
edying Of the conditions complained of.
In the second place it is the ten
dency to criticise any unusual expend-
iture of public moneys, and charge the
same as "extravagant expenditures, -
THIS deterring public officials from
doing what they know is their sworn
duty. Too often county commission
ers act in this same way with the
sheriff, criticising and sometimes dis
allowing his accounts, when too often
they have been contracted for the bet
ter administration of this office Men
occupying positions of great RESPONSE
biity, however, must not evade these
responsibilities because of fear of pub
lie criticism, nor because they antici-
pate the people, by their vote, may net
support them. The consciousness of
having done your duty, as you see it,
and doing all in your power to comply
with every legal requirement. placed
upon you, should be your great salts
faction. in addition to which the future
will justify your course.
/ mention these matters by way Of
preface, to show you that l fully ap-
preciate your position with reference
to the conditions complained of in this
report
Provisions Of Law.
First, an inspection of the jails

Buys Thoroughbred Sheep.

Bp. Oliver B. Pickett and Jas.
Port returned from Weiser the first
of the week where they had been at
tending a sale of several thousand
head of thoroughbred sheep. Bishop
Pickett bought about two hundred
head of black-faced ewes, Hampshire
breed and Mr.. Port bought twelve to
fifteen head of Ramboulett Rams.
They also brought home some of the
blooded sheep for Matthews Brothers
of this place.
Some of the stock sold at this
sale brought rs much as $1,000. 90
per head. Mr.. Port brought home
one ram that cost him $175.0O and
Bp. Pickett paid $95 90 for one and
$500 for another that he now has
at his home. The bringing in of
this class of sheep is the right thing
for the country and also the people
who own them. Fewer sheep and
better ones will likely be the slogan
of the future. This is true of all
kinds of stock.
There are numbers of stock owners
in this valley who are now stocking
their ranches with better blooded
stock than heretofore and it is an in
dication of the trend of public opin-
ion along the lines of getting the
best there is to be had.

KNOX KEEPS STATE SECRETS.
Refuses to Tell What He Did With
$4,000 Fund.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Secretary of
State Knox appeared before the house
committee on expenditures in the state
department. in which Representative
Hamlin of Missouri is chairman. and
refused all information concerning the
expenditure OF 100000 appropriated by
congress for the Lake Champlain cen
tennial celebration in 1910.
This fund was expended under th,
direction OF the state department Mr.
Knox based his refusal on the ex-
ecutive order issued by President Taft
last summer. when the committee was
probing the Day portrait mystery.
This order prohibits officials of the
state department from giving informa-
tion to anybody about expenditures
certified by the secretary OF state as
secret"

WOULD RECALL JUDGES.
La Toilette Opposes Legislation by
Supreme Court"

New York. Jan. Ex-senator Robert
NJ. La Toilette, the progressive Repub,
lican candidate for the nomination for
the presidency, made his maiden
speech in New York as the guest Of
the Insurgents club at Carnegie hall.
He delighted an audience. which
seemed to comprise many Socialists.
by declaring that the recall of judges.
which he advocated, should apply to
the supreme court Of the United States
as well as to other courts.
He did not make this as an admis-
sion. He doomed it out in reply to a
question from the gallery and said
that when the federal supreme court
attempted to read into the Sherman
law words that congress itself had
refused to put into the law the su.
preme court there departed from its
province as court and attempted
legislation" He said that it was to
protect the courts against such tran
scending of bounds that the recall of
the judges was designed.
II would see the judiciary kept so
clean." the senator continued. that
never a breath of suspicion could be
cast upon it. Deny the people the
right to apply the recall to the ju-
dietary and you confirm their sus-
picions against the judiciary"
