St. Joe News

The Misses Ferris aud Mae Gehrke,
both Of Spokane. are spending
short time in the city visiting their
parents.
Among the we'll known people Of
st. Jue who attended the Pow Wow
at Spokane last week we're Mr.. and
Mrs. John Davis, Mr.. French and
Leon UFbaoh.
Mrs. L. Urbach and daughter are
the guests of relatives here for a few
days.
On Sunday, for the first time since
the recent high water conditions,
church services we're held in Ferrel.
The services we're conducted by the
Rev. Roy A. Pruden, Of New York
City, who has recently accepted a
call TO take charge of the st. Joe and
Ferrel churches. Rev. Pruden is an
excellent singer aud has started off
his work here by making the musical
part Of the service a stroug one. He
has had considerable experience
singing with evangelists, having led
the music at the Gypsy Smith meet
ings in New York City. The minis
ter will sing one or two solos at each
service.
A robbery occurred here Friday
evening in which the burglars OF bur
glar made quite a successful haul on
a small scale. By the use of pass
keys the rear door Of the Pearson
Mercantile company store was opened
aud the store rided by the thieves.
While several different things showed
they had been handled by the men,
nothing was taken except the money
found in the cash register, this
amounting to SIG GO. Some time the
same night the saloon Of James Raj
terry was entered ia much the same
way as the Mercantile entrance was
affected aud again the cash drawer
was rubbed Of its contents, this time
the thieves securing SO. No clues as
to the identity Of the robbers has
been made.

man as agisuat that of the disoredited
boss Of Pennsylvania.
There Is nobody who will den y the
roasonableness of proper argument
before a congressional committee,
upon whatever subject Is under con-
slderation by that committee. This
Is the proper way to place informa-
tion before either house or senate.
But dining and wining senators. en-
tartainiug them lavishly, giving them
automobile tours and making them
guests at theatre partles-these are
not proper methods for convincing
senators that the tariff should be low
cred OF should not be changed.
The general disapproval Of the lob
by, its methods aud its work. lends
strength to the belief that public sem
timent is aroused against this In
lquitous feature of tho politics of the
present time. The positive insist
ence Of President Wilson walked up
the senate. There Is sign or two
that the senate investigation Is not
mere mummery ia this instance. IL
is possible that there will be some
thing definite in the results which
follow.

WHY Taxes IRE HOT

There Is much adverse comment.
mingled with indignation, over the
special law applying to the salary of
the commissioners of Kootenai county
and some opinions have been express
ed that the law Is unconstitutional
There seems to be no good reason why
the commissioners of this county
should receive $500 when the COM
missioners Of no other county In the
state are paid souh a SUN. No rea-
son can be given why Kootenal coun-
~ taxpayers should be called upon TO
pay this extra amount ia taxes BY
their own action the commissioners
have hxed four hours az a days work
while all other officials are required
to put In eight hours for a day This
action shows that the business of the
county Is not so voluminous as to
make It desirRl la to increase the sal
aries of our county commissioners to
an amount mUre than double that
paid by other counties in the state.
II is this total disregard for the
interests Of the people that makes
taxes high. The increased salaries OF
the commissioners is but one instance
of official extravangances aud waste
that adds TO the tax burden. In
many instances In this county sala-
ries are being paid far beyond what
the persons could earn In business
life and there is a general TACK OF
economy such as that practiced in
private business affairs.
The remedy for these things may
be found 10 the formation of a tax.
payers league or some other organi-
zation which will see that the law Is
enforced and business methods ap.
piled TO the management of public
business. Occur d'Aleue Press.

far below that it drags that average
down from the highest salary of $50
a week to less than SO a week is too
pitiful to be talked of.
Also, it must be observed that the
National Civic Federation appears to
have gone out Of it's way to get it's
high averages of 1881, 1888 and
$1O.93.
None of these are really averages
of the wages paid by New York de-
partment stores, but averages of the
wages paid by New York department
stores to skilled saIesWomen.
A true average would take in
skilled and Unskilled. But that evil
IDENTIFY would be beneath the 50
bread line, which of course would not
do. 1t was necessary, if the depart
ment stores were to be defended, to
get the average at least little above
the bread line.
The report goes into raptures over
the welfare work" done by the de-
partment stores, and points to it as
proof JnaC CQ6 muIU-ullllOQalF6. de-
partment store owners really love
their employees dearly, and only pay
them starvation wages because high
er wages might lead them into ex-
travagance.
When it comes to the question Of
the connection of low. wages. the re-
port Immediately shows it's purpose.
It asks the question if there be con-
nection, and if so, if the department
stores must be held responsible.
"Those who have brought this
serious charge involving a reputable
business and, indirectly, men of good
standing and high position in their
several communities, could have
learned the falsity of this charge by
inquiring into conditions" says the

women, were included in it.
The report SAYS the department
stores have been judged unfairly. It
rails against Socialists and others
who would like to see a change in
present day conditions, and especial
Iy to see poverty done away with.
But the reports own figures and
facts do not back either the charge
that the department stores have been
judged UnjustIy, or the railing against
those who have attacked department
stores and their misery wages.
Here is the wage scale made up in
the report:
Average wage of saleswOmen. S 9.31
Including commissions paid in
certain stores ......... 9.5S
Average wage of women en-
plOyes in the manufacturing
departments ............ 1898
Average wage Of all other feminine
employees:
Over sixteen years Of age. rs 7O9
Under sixteen ............. 1856
Highest average wage paid
saleswomen in any store. =. 14.49
Lowest average wage paid
saleswomen in any store. -. Ill
Highest wage paid any in
diVidUal woman ........... 5000
Lowest wage paid any individ-
ual salesWOman ...... $50
Average wage paid saIeswomen
in thirteen stores. ......... S.38
In considering these figures it must
be remembered always that the ma
jority of them are averages.
There are only three of the aver
ages in the above list that are above
the New York bread line of $500 a
week. One of these is 81 cents over;
one is So cents over; the third all of
S1.93 over.
It is painfully evident that those

What Is Community Service?

At lecturers conference not long
ago the question was asked, what is
your grange doing in the line of COM
munity service|' OF the dozen or
more oranges represented not one could
report doing or having done any dis
tinctive service for the community
where located. Several said there did
not seem to be anything they could
do. and others had enough to do in
keeping themselves in good running
condition. But surely the grange that
confines all its efforts to improving its
members condition, irrespective of 9th
ers outside its gates, is not fulfilling
its entire mission. The grange that
serves its community best serves itself
best, and the good deed done for 9th
ers reacts upon it for its own good.

CoIored Troops Leave Vernon,

Burlington, Dec. 6. Nearly thousand
colored soldiers, comprising the entire

naming at the military post, left yes
terGay by three special trains for Wee
hawken, N. j., where they will detrain
to board government transport for
Galveston, Texas, sailing on the 10Th.
The first section got away four hours
late. 1t was in charge of Frank R..
Roberts, travelling passenger agent of
the Rutland road, and consisted of nine
cars.
The second left an hour late, Just be-
fore noon, in charge of Charles McKeage
of Rutland, and the third foil owed soon
afterwards in charge of General Passen-
ger Agent Fred T. Grant of Rutland.
These two had eight cars each.
In the final round up there were a
considerable number of missing soldiers
but it is expected that these will follow
soon. The officers and baggage preceded
the troops Wednesday.
The 10th has been at the post between
