Cruzen, a local capitalist, convicted
for contempt of the Idaho supreme
court for criticising the courts decis-

dates for presidential electors from
the Idaho ballot, occupy cell in the
county Jail, where they are serving
out a ten-day sentence. In addition
to the Jail sentence imposed on the
three men, they were also sentenced
to pay fines of $500 each.
The citation issued after the paper
had printed and commented editorial
ly on a message to the people of Ida
no from Colonel Roosevelt criticising
adversely the decision of the court.
When the court asked Broxon if he
knew of any reason why sentence
should not be pronounced he replied:
None that this court will consider. -
The three newspaper men were
then sentenced and taken to the coun-
ty Jail, where they were placed in the
same cell occupied by Meyer, Hey

A Dainty Toilet Article

Every lady who desires to keep up her
attractive appearance, while at theatre,
attending receptions when shopping.
while travelling and on all occasions
should carry in her purse booklet OF
Gouraud's Oriental Beauty Leaves. This
is dainty little booklet of exquisitely
perfumed powdered leaves which are
easily removed and applied TO the skin.
1t is invaluable when the face becomes
moist and flushed and is far superior to
a powder pun as it does not spill ana
soil the clothes.
II removes dirt, SCOT and grease from
the face, imparting a cool delicate bloom
to the complexion. Put up in white and
pink and sent anywhere on receipt of 10
cents in stamp or coin.

IN MAKING REPLY TO

ings that l have since removed him by
my own order If Mr.. Long had the in
telligence with which he credits him
self he would understand without hav-
ing q diagram drawn of IT for his
information that when | removed Mr..
Oakley some weeks ago his term of
office had expired and that he was
holding over, not by virtue of the. conf
mission issued TO him, but by virtue of
Il my sufferance.
Does Not Require Lawyer
'1t does not require a lawyer, but any
llayman of average intelligence can un-
derstand the difference that exists be-
tween removing officer during his
term of office by an executive order,
unless such right is expressly given by
statute, and the removal of such of
fcer after his term has expired and
when he is a mere holdover at the
pleasure of the appointing power. Mr.
Long in his profound knowlede of the
law suggests that If Mr.. Brooke had
been unable on account of his ignorance
of the law to conduct this examination
then nobobdy but lawyers are fit to
tserve on juries. He ought to know that
iuries never have questions of law
submitted to them, that if in any case
| the facts proven do not, as a matter oi
Ilaw, constitute a crime that the judge
facts at all.
Filled Press With Statements
For several months Mr. Long has filed
| the Press with statements to the effect
that my investigation of the charges he
| preferred against MIR. Oakley last year
was not bona fide, but was a whitewaSh.
Every witness who possibly had any
knowledge of the transaction was sum-
mcnsed sworn and examined, and their
L. H. -.
case had been tried py court of law,
Mr.. Oakley would, under the testimony,
have been entitled to the general charge.
Both the testimony and my findings have
been heretofore furnished to the press
and are now on file in my office as d
public document.
1T has been my observation that those
who are swift to impugn the motives Of
men occupying high office and to charge
them with betrayal of their trust, are uni
| formly men who are corrupt and dishon-
| est themselves They measure the acts
of public men by the same low standard
which would control their own personal
or official actions. They know that they
could not resist temptation; they know
that in the discharge OF official duty they
would be governed by mercenary and SELF
fish considerations and hence they assume
that all other men are controlled by their
same low debased standards
Unable TO Understand
'They are unable to understand that
governor of state would be actuated il
the performance of his duties by no unsel-
Hsh motives and by due regard OF mis-
oath of office and cannot COMPREHEND
how any chief executive can discharge
his official duties without fear or favor.
II believe that the public win recognize
that this is a sufficient answer To the
false and unfounded charges OF AIR. Long
