FALL TERM CIRCUIT
COURT CONVENED
Judge J. Fleming Gordon Presiding.
AFull Docket. Commonwealth
Attorney Crayot Present.

Promptly at $50 M o nd ay
morning Judge Gordon opened
the last term Of the Crittenden
! Circuit Court for the wear 1912.
There were in attendance, the
Commonwealth Attorney, Mr..
John L. Grayot, the County At
torney, Mr.. Jnv. A. Moore the Cir
cult Court Clerk, Mr.. John G.
Asher, the Sheriff. J. A. C. Pick
ems and his deputies ]. T. Pick
ems and D. E. Gilliland and the
following members, of the Crit
tenden County bar:
SenatOr-elect Ollie M. James,
County Judge John w. Blue,
Messrs James A. Moore, L. H.
James, Virgil Moore, Mr.. Carl
Henderson, Allie Moore, Glenn S.
Mum, j. Bell Kevil and E. F. w.
Kaiser of the Louisville bar.
Several of the panel of Grand
Jurors were excused for various
reasons but the Court Clerk, as
sisted by the Sheriff, quickly fill
ed the vacancies and twelve
good and true men were INSTALL
ed and listened intently to the
very impressive charge of the
presiding Judge who prefaced
his remarks by saying:
1T is not generally known that
the Ju dye of this Court is abso-
lutely powerless to punish a
criminal no matter what the
crime or the positive knowledge
that the Court may have of it's
commission until the Grand Jury
has heard the evidence and re-
turned its indictment.
1t will then be SEEM" contin-
ued his honor, why we should
have the very highest citizenship
as Grand Jurors. why they should
be entirely free to act and re-
sponsible for their acts to noone
but themselves. This Court will
in all ways hold up their hands
and render all neces sary assist
ance, as will the Commonwealth
and County Attorneys"
The crimes me ntioned in the
decalogue were named and the
various degrees of the same and
the punishment as provided by
statutes of our commonwealth
were given.
Especial stress as given to
the crime of carrying concealed
weapons and the Jurors were in
structed to go into this matter,
very carefully. as his Honor in
indignant tones denounced such
acts as those Of towards and
that no man who is man in any
sense of the word will be gully
of such practice.
The abuse of killingour fish and
our game birds willfully and ille-
gally and the punishment for the
same was given due attention.
The practice of Local Option
Districts standing idly by saying
and doing nothing while the
blind tiger practically destroys
whatever of manhood exists in
such districts. was roundly scor-
ed and the Court advised the
Grand Jury in such cases to sim
ply ignore any complaints of sell
ling liquor illegally without the
best menof the district by their
names andinhuence stand by and
assist in the prosecution.

A State Road Policy

The people Of Clearwater Coun-
ty are interested in highways as
they have never been before.
This is due in large measure to
the work of the officers of the
Federal Good Roads Department
We not only want good highways,
but the main highways OF the state
ought to be laid out with refer
ence to the service of the people
of the state and with due regard
for connections with the highways
Of adjoining states. One matter
of peculiar interest just now, is
the proposed north and south
highway in the state of Washing
ton, from Spokane to Walla
Walla. This. road was originally
designed to go direct through a
thihly populated country. from
Spokane to Walla Walla, crossing
the Snake River by a bridge con-
structed for that purpose. The
people of Asotin and Nez Perez
counties have united in a cam
naign to bring the road straight
south along the state line, through
Lewiston and Charleston and
thence westerly to Walla Walla
and the. coast. To induce the
state of Washington to follow this
location, a bridge across the
Clearwater Ever has been pros
vided by the city Of Lewiston, and
Lewiston and Nez Perez county
would build the loop from the
UniontoWn hill to the Snake Riv.
er bridge. 1t is proposed to have
the states of Idaho and Washing
ton join in the purchase Of the
lewiston Charleston bridge, by
appropriations of $4,000. from
each state. This will save to the
state of Washington the expense
of a separate structure, and will
enable the people ofsNorth Idaho
to connect with the Washington
road system by feeders. The
state of Idaho is, possibly, hardly
sufficiently advanced to under-
take as yet the building Of state
roads, but a vigorous campaign is
already on, to utilize the good
roads district law for the purpose
of connecting the Clearwater Sec
ton and the Camas Prairie and
Ncz Perez Prairie sections with
the Washington highway system
at Lewiston by series Of locally
constructed roads. This would
make all parts of our inland sec
ton easily approachable, and
would expedite the time when a
wider good roads, movement
could be undertaken. 30 II.

The county commissioners in
their wisdom(?) have made an
other move that will greatly in
