HIGHEST COURT
TO HEAR CASE
Matter of Kansas Ballot Is
Carried Up.
THREE JUSTICES EnE To SIT
Electors Who Have Declared They
viii Vote for Roosevelt If Elected
May Not Have Opportunity to
Do So-A Nice Point.

New York, July 31.-Three justices
Of the United States supreme court
will sit in the federal building Thurs
day to hear arguments on the applica-
ton by the Taft forces in Kansas for
writ of error in the Kansas election
cases, involving the right of the cleo
tors who say they intend to vote for
Roosevelt if elected, to have their
names on the ballot in the Kansas
election.
One of the justices who will sit is
Justice Pitney, who signed an order
the Roosevelt faction, headed by Gov
ernor Stubs, to show cause why the
writ of error should not be granted
1t was determined to transfer the
hearing on the case to New York. 1t
is understood that Chief Justice White
will come to New York to hear the
case, and the other member of the
court will probably be Justice Hughes,
who is at his camp in the Adiron-
dacks
The order already signed by Justice
Pitney holds up the printing of the
ballots in Kansas until the case is
disposed of. The Roosevelt electors,
named at the convention that instruct
ed for the colonel, have announced
that under the constitution they have
a right to vote for the candidate who
heads the ticket. A county clerk In
Kansas refused to put the names of
the electors on the ballot, and under
the instructions Of Governor Stubs
the attorney general applied for a
writ of mandamus against the clerk,
which was granted by the Kansas SUI
preme court.
Representative Martin Olmstead of
Pennsylvania. representing the Taft
forces, is taking the cases to the SUI
preme court of the United States, and
he got the order from Justice Pitney
upon which tho Judges will hear ar
gument Thursday.

connections were distributing agents
and that the 100000 each received
was suEdiviGCd.
There is Just one chance for Beck
err to save himself. The district at.
torney may conclude to deal lenient-
ly with the lieutenant If he can and
will tell the truth about who else re-
ceived the profits of blackmail.
There is not the slightest indica
ton that Becker will turn informer.
On the contrary man with whom he
has talked in the past twenty-four
hours said that the lieutenant's de

gle" Weber and Harry WALTON had
lied about him for the purpose of saw

No matter what course Becker may
take. the grand jury will be kept In
session all summer for the purpose of

the profits of the police ring were
81 400. 600 annually. The grand jury
will go into Information obtained by
the district attorney that other po-

New York, July 81. - When Jack
Rose made the confession that put
Lieutenant Becker in the Tornbs for
the murder of Herman Roscnthal,
Rose said also that Becker had told
him that $2,4G0,000 was the yearly po-
lice graft from gambling, disorderly

Rose sWore that Becker had confided

minor official who does not wear a

is so good that my own share was

a good deal OF the money himself,

A MOST PHENOMENAL SALE
$40, 900 Stock of The Partisan Goes fol
Little or Nothing.

On the night of June 13 The Paris
ian, Lewiston s most fashionable style
emporium, was visited by fire. The
$4,000 stock of women's and misses
suits, coats, undergarments, hosiery,
dresses, gowns, millinery, and other
wearables for the exclusive use of the
fair sex was damaged. Some by fire,
but the great majority by smoke and
water, in the latter case but slightly.
In either of the last two cases, water
and smoke, the goods are hardly motto
eably damaged-still the insurance
companies have just finished in man
ner satisfactory the adjustment of the
loss with The Partisan, and now the
store is able to mountaineering
with June 20, and continuing for ten
DAYS or more thereafter-the. most SEN
sational fire, smoke and water sale ever
held in the northwest. Attention is
called to the advertisements appearing
in the Lewiston Tribune, wherein it
will be noted that the reductions range
from IS to $50 per cent, and more, from
the former selling price. The Partisan g
stock is too well known for quality
comment. Their mammoth establish
ment in Spokane, as well as that at
Lewiston, is the trading center for
women who know the last word in
wearables such as carried. The stocks
are SO extensive that it will be utter
ly impossible to deplete them within
few days after the sales opening
but it is imperative that buyers pre-,
sent themselves as soon as possible be-
fore the closing. On your next trip
to Lewiston pay this store visit, and
note that in every instance the reduc
lions are as stated, and more. The Pa
risian is the home of the finest goods
to be found anywhere.-Paid Adv.

LODGE MEETING AT Sites
Idaho County Rebekahs and Odd Eel
lows Hold Two Days Session.

The Idaho County Association of Odd
Fellows and Rebekahs lodges convened
at Sites Friday and Saturday of last
week and from all reports eminating
from the returning visitors, that town
did itself proud in entertaining the $50
visitors who participated in the pro-
ceedings Of the orders and enjoyed the
hospitality extended by the people Of
the Clearwater metropolis. The first
day was given over to the routine mat
tiers connected with the business ses-
sions, but Saturday was a day well
filled with pleasure and profit. In
the contest among the drill teams for
the Odd Fellows banner, Grangeville
was victorious, winning this year and
making two years in succession that the
Three Link men of the county seat
have carried off the prize.
The Rebekah banner was won by the
Kamiah team, with Grangeville second.
Kamiah was the only applicant for the
meeting next year and Saturday, just
before adjournment, it was decided to
hold next year s meeting at this pretty
little town. The officers of the county
association elected for the coming year
are as follows:
w. A. Newman, Whitebird, president
Wesley Packer, Sites, vice president
William Thompson, Kamiah, secretary
C. G. Fike, Nezperce, treasurer.

The Slayers
By CHESTER FIRKINS.

$VXTHEN first he saw the light
; w but. no.
There was no light to see;
: In darkness to the world he came
{ Darkness and misery,
A hole within the city's wall,
His home that was to be.
Within the glorious city's wall
The city that had cried
To all the poor of all the world
To come unto its side
And win to riches and to joy
His parents came-and died.
They did not die until he knew
OF hunger and of cold.
And shivered, begging on the street,
And oh. so young grew Old
There was no sin within his heart,
But hunger makes one bold.
He lived upon the city street,
Among the outcast men,
TILL learning nothing of the good,
All dark things met his ken;
He learned to wait the prison gate
Till 1t stood wide again
And in that city of renown
There walked wiser few
Who revealed in their boarded gold
or shone in Goats of blue.
And he was proud that they should
come
And tell him what to do.
They were his kings; in hunger they
Would give him drink and food:
And those in blue chow Well he
knewD
Might kin him if they would.
Right glad was he that he should oe
Their messenger of blood.
And now they cry: He killed a
mani"
They hunt him far and near:
{ But, wiser, We can plainly see
Twas those who held his fear,
Who paid and sent him on his way
Twas these who built the bier.
His was the hand that did the deed.
But theirs the cruel heart
Theirs was the cruel heart-but we.
Had We no slayers part?-
We who gave power to the weak,
To shield murder-mart,

1t shows how comparatively fee
bic is the progress We have as yet
made in our intellectual develop
ment that we can consent, at so
slight an incentive, to resign our
prerogative of self-control throw
ourselves upon all-fours and run
with the herd. People are not to be
criticised for thinking alike, pro
vided only such unanimity is not
due to their not having thought at
all, but to their having let some
one think for them. or to their hav-
ing so allowed themselves to be
hattened out under some hypnotic
touch or beWildered by some in
calculabIe infatuation as to throw
their individual powers of thought

The Mob---A Crowd
IhatHas Been Hypno-
tied Into Losing Its
Reason andConscience.
Written For The Georgian
By the Rev. DR.. c. II. Parkhurst

w a 51@s na lss Of ,os ssSS.s a os-
der the influence of some
mind that hypnotizes them or some
idea that influences them, the con-
dition of each separate member of
the crowd becomes revolutiOnized.
Each ceases to be a distinct in
dividual and becomes simply a
piece of the mass, like a bee lost
in the swarm, like a sheep merged
in the flock, with no separate idea
of his own, no moral perception
that is his own special property,
and swept forward by an impulse
that works in him with the
thoughtless push of blind instinct.
This is what we mean by a MOB,
which is the name we give to a
crowd that has been hypnotized to
the loss of its reason and the sus-
pension of it's conscience. This
tendency to relapse into the gre
garious condition of the mere ami
NAL and to go buzzing with the
bees or bleating with the herd. is
limited to no age of the world and
To no
