Kiev, Russia, Oct. 16.-Confronted
on one side with the necessity of Civ
ing victim to the Jew-baiting Rus
slams and their czar-on the other
side with the necessity of placating
a civilized world that has lifted its
hand in horror at racial hatred, and
demanded justice, the prosecution in
the case of Mendel Bells, charged
with ritual murder" is struggling in
hopeless battle.
The contention of the defense that
the murder was the result Of con-
spiracy and that the indictment of
Bells was brought about through the
same conspirators is strengthened by
the testimony of the prosecutions
own witnesses.
More evidence was given that Eu-
gene and Valtine Cheberyak, the last
children to see the murdered boy
alive, who have since died, were MUIR
dered by those seeking to convict
Bells.
Polistchuk, a detective, who, dur
ing his testimony, interrupted the
court to smoke cigarette, swore
that Krassovsky, former head of the
Kiev detective service, poisoned the
Cheberyak children by giving them
poisoned cakes.
Mrs. Vera Cheberyak, who is a po-
lice character, and a leader of band |
of thieves, added a tale of bribery |
She has been in Jail several times.
She testified that the journalist, |
Brushkovsky, told her that her hus-
band would lose his position in the |
Kiev postoff1ce unless the, Cheber-
yaks, parents and children, helped to
run down the murderer of Yushinsky. |
However, as the two Cheberyak
children who are dead would have
been the most valuable witnesses for
the Jew, Bells, and as Vera is be-
heved to have endeavored to per

two dead children, and child of Vera
Cheberyak, testified that she had
seen Bells kidnap the murdered boy,
but her testimony was fatty contra
dicted by Eudovic Nakonetchny, an
other child.
The manager of the brick works
where Bells was employed testified
that the Jew was at work on the day
of the murder, which was not holi-
day.
/. The detective Polistchuk added
further sensation to his testimony by
telling of the death-bed scene of the
boy, Eugene Cheberyak. Polistchuk
declared the boy was trying to tell

: CHRISTMAS IN GERMANY.

While there are few civilized coun-
tries in which the plan Of giving pres
ents at Christmas time is not almost
universal nowadays. this was not al
ways the case. Indeed, the world has
acquired many of the customs now in
vogue at this period of the year from
the Germans, who pay more attention
to Christmas than the people of any
other nation.
It is to them perhaps that we owe
the Inauguration of the gift giving as
well as the beautiful institution of the
Christmas tree. The presents equally
with the tree have been popular
among the Germans from medieval
times. With the introduction of Ger
man customs (chief among which was
the sparkling Christmas tree) into
Great Britain at the time Of Queen
Victoria's marriage with the German
Prince Albert in the middle of the
nineteenth century the practice of gen.
eral Christmas giving doubtless began
among English speaking people.

STATISTICAN HERE.

A. F. Hit, the federal. information
finder, was here last Friday on his
way to Mackay to find out what he
could about crops and produce. He
said the principal thing he was going
after that day was the prevailing
prices at which heifer calves are be-
ing held or marketed. For this he
bought a ticket for Mackay, spent
the day on the train and was back in
the evening.
He stated that the sugar factory
at Billings, Montana, is grinding the
crop from $4,000 acres of, beets this
year, there having been planted a to-
tai of $4,000 in the district and that
about 1000 acres not harvested, The
average yield was about eleven tons
per acre.

OVERSIGHT THE MARK.
(southern Idaho Advocate.)


Governor Haines was recently the
recipient of a letter written by a
woman wage Garner imploring his
aid regarding the nine-hour law for
workingwomen. 1t seems that the
woman, who had family depending
on her, could not, under the nine
hour law, earn a sufficient amount
to provide the necessities. In ans
wer the governor stated that he could
do nothing to help her, that it was
his duty to see that the laws were
enforced; that the legislature, the
body which made the law, alone has
the power to change or nullify the
law.
These are days of progression and
it is with great satisfaction that we
see so many steps taken toward the
correction of wrongs, but enthusiast
tic zeal has many times in the past
reached tha point of radicalism and
may do so again in this modern revo-
luton. In fact, it has, for law
purporting to protect, take bread
from the nouths of hungry children,
radical Is mild term by which it
should &C addressed. The beginning
of the mo, Cent was all right. IL
too many factories, stores, ETC., wo~
men were land in many places still
are) compelled to work an unrea-
sonable number of hours, with no
or inadequate extra pay.
This was an evil that needed i'm
mediate and effective remedy but it
did not need to deprive the working
women of the right to earn what they
could and were willing to work for.
To say to the employer, ''you shall
not compel your employees to work
more than nine hours" is entirely
different from saying to the employee,
you shall not work more than nine
hours" yet the latter statement is
the effect of the nine-hour law for
women. In the first statement the
infringement upon one persons
rights by another is prohibited, the
second is simply an infringement up
on individual rights. If girl wish
es to work but nine hours, that is her
business and no one should be allow
ed to compel her to work more. If
another girl wishes to work more
than nine hours in order to receive
pay for overtime, that, too, is her
business and no one, individual or
government, should be allowed to
prevent her from doing as she wish
es.
You may say that nine hours is
long enough for any woman to work
We will admit that readily enough
but the fact doesn't change condi-
lions, there is many woman who is
working at the rate of twenty-five
hours out of every twenty-four. The
individual woman knows better than
anyone else, just how many expend-
lures Der wages must cover and if
it is her desire to be more nearly able
to meet these expenses by working
an hour or so overtime it is her
right to do so, right established
and protected by the constitution of
the United Staes.

The bestowing Of Christmas boxes is
OF great antiquity and was formerly
the bounty Of we'll disposed persons
who were willing to contribute some
thing toward the industrious. Later
the gift came to be demanded as a
right and became somewhat of a nui-
sance. In England the day after
Christmas is known as boxing day"
from the Christmas boxes which used
to be in circulation. In British mu-
seums can be seen boxes covered with
green glaze. with a slit in the side for
money and presents.
