Mr.. and Mrs. A. NJ Richardson left
the first of the week, after having
made Richfield their home for the past
six years. They expect to establish in
Burley, though they are not positive
that they would do so until they had Wis
tied the prospective new home. Mr..
and Mrs. Richardson have made many
friends here They have had hard luck
of various kinds, in fire, i'll health, and
other things, but through it all have
kept up good courage that is most
admirable.
The North End Improvement Club
held its last meeting at the home OF
Mrs. J. M. Pearson, north of the butte.
They have taken up their yearly study,
the course Through England With
Tennyson, discussing all the historic
places and events commemorated by
Tennyson in his great idyls and poems.
1.-The Idyls of the King will have
especial attention, and the Club mem
bers count on this being remarkably
attractive course of study. The hostess
served dainty luncheon at the close of
the meeting.
F. j. Mathews can in all probability
lay claim to being the prize caulifiower
grower of Idaho. He raised several
hundred pounds of the luscious vege-
table this year, some of the heads
weighing IL pounds each; and of an un-
believably solid, brittle, waxy texture,
the ideal of those who cultivate this
hard to-raise product. He sent two of
the big heads to the Recorder office,
and if the Recorder hasn't eaten cauli-
flower every meal it is because it seems
a shame to destroy such magnificent |
specimens for SO sordid purpose as
eating. !

Former governor Gooding, with his
wife and one or two other guests, came
through Richfield. Wednesday, on their
way to his Tykura ranch. They drove
up from Gooding by auto, making the
trip in one hour and twenty minutes, a
little more than 33 miles. Mr. Gooding
says that the roads of this section are
the prize highways of the whole West.
The county commissioners, in session
at Shoshone this week, rejected the
petition for herd district on the Rich
field tract The petitions, both for and
against, had been largely signed, with
the remonstrance containing few more

not all of these were the names of
residents within the district sought to
be included in the herd district. Several
parties went down from here
both for and against the petition. The

ltes, or any of the officials who heard |
the matter, so is unable to give at this
time any definite information as to
what were the determining arguments

COURT SYSTEM NEEDS REFORM

Last August there was a riot among
the hop pickers employed on the
burst ranch, near Wheatland, for
which the incitement of professional
agitators and the truculent and harsh
conduct of ranch bosses seem to have
been about equally responsible. In
the. midst of the disturbance the Dist
rict Attorney and a deputy sheriff
drove upon the scene and were shot
and killed. For this homicide four
men are now upon trial in Marysville.
Out of thirty talesmen examined,
but one juror was accepted, subject
to challenge. Judge Daniel ruled
that a belief that the district attorney
had been murdered disqualified a
talesman from sitting upon the jury,
even though the talesman had formed
no opinion as to who committed the
murder.
Very likely Judge Daniel stated the
rule correctly. Very likely the case
would have been remanded upon APP
peal had it not been so held. But it
is just such ridiculous hair splitting as
this which makes the procedure in
criminal trials an offense to common
sense, and which has brought the
courts into contempt among the peo-
pie.
Nothing stands in such urgent need
of drastic and revolutionary reform
as the rules of evidence and procedure
in American courts-San Francisco
Examiner.

Unless Governor West is succeeded
by man who is Jealous for law en-
forcement the ground that has been
gained viii be lost and the difficult
work of the past few years will be
thrown away, DIR. Smith enters the
race for governor with the announced
intentiopz zof upholding law and de-
cency If elected. He may not always
use the same methods as Governor
West but he will have the same pur-
poses. In those purposes he is sin
cere and all who know DR.. Smith
know that if elected he will perform
his duties with ability and determi-
nation. He will make good and he
will follow his platform promises.
The democrats of Oregon are for
tunate in having a man like DR.. Smith
as their prospective nominee. His can
didacy gains added strength from his
long and successful record in public
and private life and from the fact he
is both a Portlander and an eastern
oregon man. He will have particu-
lar strength from this section because
he passed most of his life in eastern
oregon, is intimately acquainted with
the needs of this district and has his
property infaraStS have

West would count heavily against him

say that even if nominated no demo.

FORCES that have stood back of the

The chief issue in the election next
fall will be the question whether with
reference to certain lines of activity
the government of this state shall
stand for lawlessness or law.

The attempt to make the eigh,
hour law apply to all public employees
is unreasonable and cannot hope to
succeed. 1t would work against the
employees themselves because it would
mean reductions in pay. If the law
means what the labor commissioner
thinks it does it will have to be
altered.

USES FOR SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

Vienna has discovered it's public
school houses and has begun to act
with extraordinary thoroughness up
on the idea that they should be of
greater service to the people. A spe-
cial cable dispatch to The Daily News
from its Vienna correspondent yes
terday told how at the instance of a
society called the Parents associa-
tion, the school authorities are form
ing school homes" by opening the
school buildings to the pupils outside
of school hours. Here on their own
volition children are instructed in mu-
sic and other subjects, ana are su-
pervised and provided with meals.
1t is the purpose of the school
home" to remove children from the
perils of the streets and furnish them
with useful instruction that they
could not secure in their own homes.
The enterprise does not appear to be
a drain on the school funds, for the
Parents association furnishes the
meals. one-fourth being supplied free
to the poorer pupils.
Any one familiar with certain con-
ditions in Vienna will agree that the
innovation should prove of value
there. 1t is an unusual extension of
the neighborhood center movement,
which in a form suited to Chicago's
needs should be widely adopted In
this community Every city in its
own way, under wise direction. ought
to give ample recognition to the i'm
portant fact that the public school
buildings should be used as fully as
possible for the peoples pleasure

the indemnity demanded by a father
for the loss of daughter used to be

has risen to about $5 but the scale of
values is shown by the fact that a
native will gladly give over his labor

medicine bottle with a metal screw

THE GERMAN GIANT.
ATLANTA Constitution. }


The American business man who
recognizes in Germany one of our
most formidable competitors in the
field of International trade will be
keenly interested in an article on the
financial situation in Germany, writ
ten by Count Won Bernstorff, Ger
man ambassador to this country, and
published in a recent issue of "Ex,
port American Industries"
Count Won Bernstorff goes into an
elaborate statistical analysis of the
growth of the empires foreign trade
for fifty, forty, twenty and ten-yeal
periods. He shows that within the
past forty years the values of Ger
many's foreign trade have more thar
tripled. From 1872 to 1912 her i'm.
ports increased 20S per cent and hei
exports 262 per cent, leaving heal
thy margin on the right side of the
ledger. In comparison with Other
world powers, the total foreign trade
of Germany for the same period
makes a phenomenal showing. Ger.
many's trade for this period increased
1873 per cent, Englands Sc per cent
that of France 81 per cent, and the
United States led with an increase OF
236 per cent.
American business men however
have reason to stop and take notice
when the accounts are cast up for the
twenty-year period between 1891 and
1911. Germany's increase in that pc
riod was 1881 per cent, England's
$50, Frances 69.S, while America
had dropped to second place with
1851 per cent increase.
The German ambassador takes also
the items OF railroad and navigation
In which he shows the German in
crease to be equally notable. He says
that these great changes have caused
a radical raising of standards of liy-
