in that the regulation Of police affairs
is accorded to each political sub-di-
vision of the state; and counties, lnu-
nicipal townships and municipal cor
porations are each given seperate and
distinct powers in the regulation and.
control of their domestic affairs. some
rights being in common and others
different, as the necessity of the pub
lie subdivision might require.
1t is no more right TO permit the
County of Pettis Cfor instance) to
have voice in the regulation Of the
municipal affairs of Scdalia, than it
is to permit the city Of st. Louis and
the state as a whole 10 participate in
an election to determine whether the
outlying counties shall be "wet" or
"dry." The strong reason why this
ought not to be done is that each To-
calty should determine the matter
for itself. One locality may be COM
posed almost exclusively of Germans,
who rs rule are opposed to prohi-
bition in any form and who know how
to use Intoxicating beverages; another
community may be all Of denomina-
ton, or nationality, who favors pro-
hibition and who do not know how to
use Intoxicating beverages, and they
might outnumber those in the German
community. Any rule which would
permit this majority to innict and
impose upon a respectable minority
its ideas upon moral questions, and
police affairs, is not only undcmo-
cratic but in violation Of the true
principle Of our government.

SOME GIRLS ASHAMED TO WORK

Courtesy Of Pictorial Review
The following extract rs quoted
fIom the May article of DR.. Orison
Marden (world famous phi'osophcr)
in Pictorial Review;
In the early days so great was the
prejudice against rcLrale writer's that
many "A woman wrctc under a mans
name. The business woman was
looked up with suspicion and deri?
sion. The very idea OF woman in
business was unreminine, and as man
thought, tended to unsex her.
"None of that sort of a girl for
me-" cried young men, when women
first began 20 20 into business Offices
and to have Independent vocations.
"Shc will be unsexcd she will, not be
domestic, she will have lost much Of
her femininity, her grace, her charm
and sweetness which have made her
so attractive in the past"
Because Of such mistaken ideas in
the past, regarding the girls yoca-
ton, young women who were forced
by family reverses TO enter bust
ness career very frequently did so
| secretly. ! have known girls of good
family who employed every effort
to conceal the fact that they were
! employed in business Offices. They
would often walk blocks out of their
way TO mislead friends ON acquaint-
ances they CHANGED to meet on their
journeys to and from work.
One well educated young woman of
an impoverished aristocratic family
for years got up at four o'clock ev-
cry morning, even in the winter, to
take an early train to n distant city
where she was employed rather than
work where she lived and he ostra-
ciscd as wage Garner. The popl Of
her home town believed she was n
student and that her daily trips were
to and from college.
Think Of the humiliation the girl
of the past generation suffered be-
cause Of the false standards Of So
ciety in regard to her "snhcre!"
Women everywhere, in every field
they have entered, are now providing
the falacy Of such Anticipated stand
ards. The old-timc prejudices are rap
idly being relegated to the dust heaps
Of the past.
The twentieth Gentry business wO.
man is demonstrating that career
in the commercial world does not
unsex her, On the contrary her
business experience and better krowI
edge of affairs are broadening hel
outlook on life, and helping hcr mar
velously to improve the conditions r.

Under a new law in Cali
fornia every voter must de-
clare to which party he be-
longs when he registers.
The registrars are also re-
quired to make monthly re-
ports to the secretary of
state. The report of the reg
istration turnout the state for
January shows a heavy fall
ing off of progressives. The
decline is especially notice
able in the counties where
they were the strongest two
years ago. If the first
months registration can be
taken as a basis, the total
registration in the state will
give the republicans lead Of
at least 10000 over the pro.
gressives. Still some of the
leaders in the democratic aic
society insist that the repub
lican party is dead.

According to C. A. Hast
ings, former state treasurer,
Idaho during the year will re-
ceive about 81, 900, 600 reve-
nue. from taxes other than the
direct tax Legislators pay
little attention to the indirect
tax in making their approp-
riations. Take the Pure
Food and Sanitary Inspect
or's Office, for illustration.
This department was started
with an appropriation of
$4,000 per year. The last leg
islature made an appropriation
of $25, 900 per year for the Of
fee. In addition to the d.
rect legislative appropriation
this department receives an
additional sum of from. $l5,-
600 to $4,000 from fees and
fines every year. During the
years 1911 and 1912, according
to Mr.. Hastings, this Office
secured $26, 500. IS. It has
surely grown during the past
two years.
1t is the same all down the
line. When the people pay
their taxes on or before the
first Monday in January each
year they have just started.
There are fees, fines and rent
ais for everything they do.
If a deed is recorded there is
a fee to pay; an estate is pro-
bated and there are more
fees. The sheriff collects
fees in civil actions. In adj
dition to all this, in some vii
lagos in Idaho, certain bust
ness houses are licensed, such
as hotels, blacksmith shops
and lunch counters, pool halls
and theatres. It is tax after
tax and fee after fee. For
state purposes ex.Treasurer
Hastings reckons this reven-
ne at nearly $1,000, 900. On
this basis the cost of govern
ment is at least 40 per cent
more than the direct taxes

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
BY lloyd LEHRBAs

Last Friday night in an exciting and
interesting game, the Montpelier High
School basket ball team Debated the
Kemmerer High School quintet by a
score of q to 10. The Montpelier team
showed return to form that assures us
we will make amends for our early
season defeats. There was not the in
dividual brilliancy Of the past, but the
whole team played an aggressive game.
The score see.sawed back and forth
until the last few seconds Of play, when
the wearers of the red and grey surged
ahead. One or two disagreements came
up that held back the game few
minutes, but they were settled salts
factory to both sides and all ended well.
The line up was as follows.

have to pay well for living in
the great and glorious state

it but we believe the cost may
be reduced without denying
ourselves any of the necessi-
ties and few of the luxuries.

1.-THE Count of No Account" is one
of the best laugh producers ever writ
ten and the cast will get all the fun
out of it possible SO that if you attend
you will get more than your moneys
worth in good, hearty laughter, The
play runs something like this: Johann
Kramer, proprietor Of the Lions Inn,
advertises that Count of Nogoody of
Paris, will be at the hotel during the
summer months. The Count does not
show up SO Kramer employees Weary, a
tramp, to impersonate the Count.
Weary drives everybody crazy by his

The Basket Ball team desire to thank
the people of Montpelier for the support
they gave the basket ball game with
Kemmerer last Friday night. For the
first time the proceeds of the game paid
the expenses, and if the people will
give their support like that always the
team will do better and win as as it did

CHAPTER XVIII.

The high pass and the insurrectos
were behind them now and the rolling
plains of Aqua Negra were at their
feet. To the northeast the smoke ban
ners of the Gadsden shelters lay like
was not far away.
Yet, as they came down from the
mountains, Bud and Gracia fell silent
and slackened their slashing pace. The
time for parting was near, and part
ings are always sad.
But ten miles across the plain lay
Gadsden and Phil-Phil to whom Ora
cha was promised. There had been no
thoughts of him from the time they
sat together under the horse-blankets
waiting for the rain to pass until now
that the dangers were virtually over.
and but a short time more would place
them beyond the reach of either ru-
rales or rebels Bud thought of the
duty he owed his pardner, even though
that pardner had played him false
Great as was his longing for Gracia,
he could not forget that duty Their
companionship had been but a thing
to forget if he could, or at best he
could only remember the sweetness
of it, and must forget the dreams he
had dreamed as he watched beside
Gracia in the hills He was taking her
to Phil, and all else must be sacrificed
for duty.
Bud looked far out across the valley
to where a train pulled in from the
south, and the sight of it made him IN.
easy. He watched still as it lay at the
