BOARD APPROVES

For Female Criminals and
Juveniles Agreed Upon.

A reformatory plan for female and
Juvenile offenders which will rival the
most advanced system of its kind in
the United States was agreed upon ten
tatively by a majority of the members
of the Fulton county commission today.
The second step in the new reforma-
tory system was taken by the commit

it was decided to acquire land for an
adult reformatory to be modelled on the
cottage system While the site for the
proposed institution has not been Sc

May CALL COURT House
ELECTION IMMEDIATELY

State Sanitary Inspector Wallis ar
rived in Moscow at noon today and
will hold a conference this evening
with the county commissioners rela-
tive to the court house. The board
has asked for a little additional time
within which to carry out the de-
mands of the state. 1t is understood
that the county commissioners have
decided to call the special election at
once, as delay will be too expensive,
besides entailing so much inconven-
ience; that it is almost impossible for
the county to take it's prisoners to an
other county, where the expense of
keeping them would be very heavy.
That since there is no longer any way
to escape the issue of a new court
house the matter shall be put up to the
people at a special election within
thirty days.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
TALKS OF COURT HOUSE

shone county would not now exceed
fifteen per cent to the building. The
records are in fireproof vaults. The
Jail is in the basement but he recon-
mended an outside jail. Latah county
could have all that it ought to have
for $125 900, which would provide the
Independent Jail and a fireproof court
house Such a building could not
shrink nor decay.
Judge Alfred Bulge of Pocatello,
was present and complimented the
chamber on it's splendid display He
said that while we of the north do
now produce the best fruit that the
south expect to excel us after awhile.
He urged the economy of a good court
house when Latah county built The
judge said his father was one of the
first regents of the University of Ida
ho, and took pride in the institution.
Southeast Idaho is proud of her
young men and women who have at
tended the college, he said.
j. r. Barker of Standpoint, said he
was the lasI regent of the university,
and could not attend the last meeting
of the board because of the arrival of
a new 10-pound girl at his home.
Colonel n w. Wood and Albert An
derson, head officials of the G. A. R.
in Idaho, made short talks. They
complimented Latah county on her re-
sources.
Messrs Baker, Sherfey and Swami
were appointed q committee to confer
with the city council on the proposed
milk inspection ordinance

Mr.. Wallis, in behalf of the state, is
reported to have said the state would
do all it could to aid Latah county
in it's present situation, and that it
was probable, if the special election
were to be called at once, that the
time could be extended to give the vo-
ters an opportunity to decide what
they proposed to do. If a new court
house is to be built the county board
desires to act in a way that will best
serve the interests of the taxpayers,
and in a way that will best serve the
interests of the taxpayers, and it now
looks like the people would have a
chance to settle the matter.
If the voters oppose a new court
house then the county board will be
forced to meet an entirely different
situation, but feel that the question of
a court house should, ii possible, first
be decided by the people themselves.

THAW CHILD IS
STORM CENTER

PITTSBURG, May 14.-Neighbors of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Holman, the
stepfather and mother of Mrs Evelyn
Nesbitt Thaw, declared today that
Evelyn and her alleged two-year-old
son Anthony" have been at the
Holman home near here for a week.
They are declared to have seen
Evelyn and baby together several
times in the Brooklyn home of the Hol-
mans.
Detective R. O'Meare of Pittsburg,
who assisted Thaw in his attempts to
obtain his release from the Mattewan
insane asylum where he was commit
teed following the shooting of Stan
ford White, still denies Thaw's pattern
ity of the child. He declared today the
reports of the child's being seen in the
were untrue.

RAMSTEDT WILL RUN
FOR STATE AUDITOR

That Axel p Ramstedt member of
of the state tax commission, will be
a candidate for the republican nomin-
alton for state auditor was made
konwn today when Mr.. Ramstedt, ac-
ceding to the insistent demands of his
many friends throughout the northern
part of the state reluctantly per-
mitted such an announcement to be
made. For several weeks Mr.. Ram
stedt refused the opportunities of his
many Latah county friends to become
a candidate for office, but the urge
from all over the northern part of
The state during the last two weeks
has been so strong that he has Anal
ly agreed to make the race.
The republicans of all north Idaho
are pleased with the decision, and Mr..
Ramstedt will have a practically
unanimous support in the north. His
broad and thorough knowledge Of the
revenue question, his splendid rec
ord both as public official in Latah
county, and in private business, and
his we'll known, answering honesty
make him-to the people of the north
at least-an ideal member of those i'm
pt,rtant state boards of which the
state auditor is a member, and an
admirable Watchdog of Idahos
treasury.
Mr.. Ramstedt is a pioneer of Latah
county, coming here with his pl ents

state university, and shortly after his
graduation entered the office OF the
clerk of the court and ex-officio aud

CONFIDENCE IS NEEDED
FOR new COURT HOUSE

| tiOns are such that to remove the
cause and try to make it worthy of
confidence would be to teke away so
much in removing the Objectionable
that there would be nothing left as
a foundation for a new confidence.
What then? Nothing but that which
will command our confidence of itself
and by it's sufficiency-a new court
house! What about the cost? We
are certainly able.
What about the confidence? We
concede that there is an unrest among
the taxpayers. Our taxes are high,
and cause lack of confidence in the
administration, we admit. But is this
justifiable? Look at the thing itself
If the conditions justify then the same
remedy must be applied
But also look at the other side Have
the present officers and those in the
past had your support so that they
could rely on you. If not then, their
lack of your confidence is causing
them to be unable to fulfill their duties
in such office and neglect is partially
justifiable. On the other hand if YOU
and the failure is entirely On their
part, then the same remedy must apply
to the officials as to the court house.
There must be thorough renovation.
Now to conclude: Would it be ad-
visabIe to call for the settlement of
the problem at the primary in July, or
after a proper diagnosis of the case?
Had we not better get the confidence
of the taxpayers first if such conf
dence does not exist and then proceed
with the remedy. In short, we have
ample time, if there is lack of conf
dence in our present officers and such
confidence cannot be restored, to nom
mate and elect the proper ones for
the place, and l am sure that the pres
ent officers, if they cannot have the
assurance of the confidence of the
taxpayers do not want their present
places of trust and responsibility
That an emergency EXISTS no one of
mind will deny, and it is up
to us to proceed in some manner that
will meet with the hearty co-opera-
tion of all concerned
Something must be done. Let us

| Editor StarMirror: Is there lack
OF confidence, and If SO what is the
cause? Is there any justification for
it? 1t is said that the last payments
on the present court house have just
been made; that it only cost $4,000 In
the first place but by the time it was
paid out we had been paying an ex-
orbitant rent in the way of interest; /;
and now no sooner is the last in
stallment paid than we have the thing
condemned, and must build another
one
Is there something wrong? There
evidently is with the old court house
at leasD but the only thing the writer
wishes to discuss is the question of
such lack of administration among the
officials of this county that it be-
came necessary for the state sanitary
Inspector to come and do what every
citizen of the county should, or does
do, condemn the conditions existing.
And why? The thing shows for itself
that there is reason for lack of con-
fidence
We have laundries, mops, soap,
brooms, scrub brushes, disinfectants,
and the men to use them, plumbers
and men who know when toilets are
sanitary; and surely our commission
ers know when bedding needs a wash
ing and floors need scrubbing, and
toilets disinfecting.
Why did the sanitary inspector
find it necessary to condemn the
court house? Why has the grand jury
found it necessary to confirm his ac-
tions? The thing itself speaks loud
enough. There is a lack of confidence
on the part of the taxpayers. Is their
cause just?
There is lack of confidence in the
present building and it's ability to fill
the place it should fill and supply
the county's need. After q careful in
spection, beginning at the foundation
and continuing through every depart
ment to the attic we find a good ~ea-
son for lack of confidence in it's ability
to protect the lives and health of it's

years in that official position.
During Mr.. Ramstedt's incumbancy
the office was systematized by him,
and for the first time brought into it's
present efficient condition AS an ex-
ecutive in that office he proved
strong man, and at the same time
was such master of detail, that every
county matter was at his fingers end
1t is doubtful if any Idaho county ev-
er had better county clerk than Axel
P. Ramstedt.
Upon retiring from office Mr.. Ram
stedt located at Orofino, where he
was cashier of the state bank until
early this spring, when he resigned
that position Immediately he was at
liberty Governor Hawley payed high
compliment to Mr.. Ramstedt's knowl-
edge of revenues and assessments by
making him north Idaho's member OF
the state tax commission, position in
which he has done valuable work for
the state in getting the revenue tangle
i'll the northern districts, upon an
equitable basis.
Fitted as he is by his executive
ability, his training and his long res
idence in the northern portion of the
state it is hard to conceive Of bet
ter man for the position OF state aud
itor. AS a member of the board of
equalization, and the state land board,
the land problems of the north of the
property values and their adjudication
would be invaluable, and with his
watchfulness and mastery of detail no
man could be better equipped as an
auditor of the great business of the
state of Idaho.

LANDL0RDISM BLAMED

DeLara said Madero lied when he
said he was for the people. He de-
clared that Madero and his family
were among the biggest landlords in
