DUM-DUM BULLET
rs ON EXHIBITION

Major Woodson Jeffries. assistant
adjutant general of Idaho. has fur
nished the Capital News with speci-
men of a dunn dun bulle., which is on
exhibition in the Capital News window,
along VITA a regulation bullet. The
dunn dun bullet is a hard nose bullet
cut off and having a jagged point,
which makes n terrible and painful
wound. Both the Germans and the
allies claim their opponents are using
these bullets, which is against the reg
ulations of international warfare. On
Sept. 10 Emperor William in mes
sage to President Wilson protested
against the use of dunn DUN bullets
by the enemies of Germany. The
president of France replied, stating
that the french and English soldiers
were not using tn dun dunn bullets,
but that the Germans were, and that
the protest of Emperor William was
simply TO cover up the deeds of his
own soldiers.

JUD CE TRUITT IS
ELEVATED TO THE
SUPREME bench
Nose w Man Appointed by
Governor Haines to Fill
Vacancy Caused by Resig-
nation of Ailshie.

Judge Warren Truitt of Moscow was
Yesterday appointed by Governor John
NJ. Haines justice of the supreme court
to fill the unexpired or recess term of
James f. Ailshie, resigned, and has
accepted. Justice Truitt will arrive in
Boise this evening prepared to assume
his duties on the bench at the opening
at the September term of court to-
morrow morning at 10 o'clock The
siX-yeaH term of former Justice Ailshie,
which Justice Truitt fills out will eX-
pire on the first Monday OF January
next.
Justice Truitt is one OF the best
known attorneys in northern. Idaho,
where he has been resideL Syears
during which time he has actively
practiceh his profession at Moscow
his prcsent home. He s a graduate OF
McKenz e college and law school OF
Lebanon. Ill. Prior to coming to Ida
no he WIS for a number of years "A res
ident of the state of Oregon. 1t was
while nd was resident of that state
that President Harrison appointed him
to the federal bench in the district OF
Alaska, where he served for about six
years, o. curing the remaining portion
of the Harrison and all of the second
Cleveland administration.
IL was after he left the bench in
Alaska that Justice Truitt came to
Idaho and located at Moscow. He was
appointed and served a term as one OF
the rege hts of the University of Ida
no in tile work Of which he became
greatly Interested. and he did much to-
wards making the university Idaho
leading educational institution.

Idaho wore involved in litigation, the

tice and experience had been such as
to give him the necessary qualifica
tons to sit upon the supreme bench
of this state, could be found who would
be willing TO take it for the short re-
cess term. While the governor knew
that, many of the younger attorneys of
the panhandle were probably as well
qualified he did not wish 30 have them
feel that in the selection OF an elder
attorney he was casting reflection upon
them.
Considers Babb and Hoffman.
1t is understood that James Z. Babb
Twas at first strongly considered for
: the appointment. Mr.. Babb is a promi-
nent attorney OF Lewiston and has a
very extensive corporate practice. 1t
is said he did not feel that he could
abandon his practice fo- so short a
time as the term for which the APP
pointment called.
| Charles L. Hoffman of Rathdrum,
one OF the best known attorneys in
northern Idaho. at one time chairman
of the Republican state central com
mittee, was also seriously considered
and had he consented would have had
the appointment. He did not feel at
this time that he could take it.
| Considers Boise Attorney.
| With the time growing short In order
to dispose of the appointment before
the opening of the September term of
court, Governor Haines believed II was
almost impossible to place 1t with a
northern attorney and reached a de-
| cision to present 1t to Frank Wyman
of the we'll known law firm of Wyman
& Wyman of this city. Mr. Wyman
seriously considered its acceptance on
Thursday of last week but owing to the
fact that he had pending before the
supreme court a number of important
cases to which he had given his per-
sonal attention and the personal pre-
sentation of which he fel: was due his
clients, he was unable to accept. The
governor felt that inasmuch as the
appointment was but for the recess an
attorney residing in Boise would be
able to take care of the work required
by the bench and still Retain hold on
his private practice without the two
interfering.
| Justice Truitt Accepts.
Governor Haines then went north
again and decided on Justice Truitt
The appointment came az a complete
surprise and most unexpectedly to the
new justice. After taking the request
of the governor to accept the appoint
ment under advisement ana on the ur-
gent pressure and advice of friends
Justice Truitt accepted.
Whether or not the new justice will
in the event of the resignation of Jus
lice Stewart, be appointed to succeed
him after the expiration or the recess
term, is matter of some speculation
but that such a thing mig-lt happen is
\ generally conceded.
Justice Truitt is spoken of by those
who know him best as a jurist of I'M
usual judicial temperament held in the
highest esteem by his associates at tho
bar man of unimpaired integrity
and an excellent lawyer

Bunker Hill and the Last Chance of
the Occur d'Alene district, that jurist

went through the federal court for the
Idaho Jurisdiction and were appealed
to the supreme court of the United
States. where they were decided. That
tribunal. the highest in the land. at
firmed the findings of Judge Truitt as
master in chancery.
Was Candidate for Justice.
During the recent primary election
campaign Justice Truitt. who has been
identified as a strong factor in north
ern Idaho and OF some little promi-
hence in Idaho politics as leaning
strongly towards progressive Republic
canism, entered the non partisan race
with four other prominent attorneys
of this state for the nomination of
justice of the supreme court. The
other candidates were Judge Edward
A. Walters of Shoshone, Charles w.
Beale of Wallace, William NJ. Nor
gan of Moscow and Ben Tweedy of
Lewiston. Judge Walters and Mr.. Nor
gan were nominated. Justice Truitt
was defeated.
Immediately following his acceptance
of the resignation of James F. Ailshie
from the bench to enter the race for
United States senator. Governor
Haines made it known that he would
not appoint Mr.. Ailshie's successor
until after the primaries as the May
term of court had been concluded and
the vacation period for the justices
had then arrived. The Ailshie resig-
nation left the bench with but one
justice in Isaae.N. Sullivan. who auto
matically succeeded MIR. Ailshie as
chief justice Justice George H
Stewart was then and still is in san
itarium at Portland so ill that it is
believed he will probably never again
take his seat on the bench, so that
Idaho was virtually without a supreme
court and up to yesterday or the date
on which Justice TRUTHS appointment
goes into effect had been without one
Anxious to Place appointment.
There was a strong intimation made
after the Ailshie resignation that Gov
ernor Haines would appoint one of the
successful candidates for justice OF the
supreme court to the bench. Instead
just the opposite course was taken. 1t
was said last night by prominent at
torneys that the governors appoint
ment of Justice Truitt will unques
tionably meet with general approval
among attorneys over the state.

Smoking is certainly harmful
to boys and young men. Athletic
sports are the best means of
finding this out. An athlete
who uses tobacco is very apt to
injure his heart and usually the
blame is labeled athletics. !"
A tobacco user lacks energy,
his training is hard work rather
than a pleasure, his digestion is
not what it should be, he is
unreliable in competition or in a
pinch, he cannot recuperate
rapidly after hard struggle. and
he does not repose as readily as
one who does not use tobacco.
Invariably a smoker thinks he
can run a 100 yard dash, a mile
or any other distance and do as
we'll as a non-smoker. He will
perhaps for a number of times
but the double strain of the use
of tobacco and strenuous exercise
is likely to permanently injure
the heart action.
1t is rather a difficult prop
osition to explain these things to
young fellow, but if we could
tell him the same thing ten years
later or after he had learned from
experience he would undoubtedly
agree with us. Harry L. Hillman

the next change will not come

papers demand TWO weeks Tor
this work.
Governor Lister in a recent
speech said:
Apparently there was an
organization built up in the legis-
lature that believed their princi-
pal duty was to follow the line
of appropriating every dollar
asked for every purp ose,
forgetting that every dollar
appropriated by a legislature
must be paid by you and you
and every one else as taxpayers,
and apparently working on the
lines that the state was a great
big organization with money
that might be used constantly
and forever, a stream that would
be running on and on just as
long as appropriations were
being made.
That legislature appropriated
millions after millions and fifty
per cent of the number never
knew the total amount
of appropriations until they rece-
ived their copies of the session
laws. There was trouble during
the session. People came from
different districts asking appro-
priations for this purpose and
for that purpose, and, finding
that it was impossible to get
through an appropriation without
combining with others of the leg
islature, combinations were made
and appropriations were made,
whether good, bad, or indif-
ferent.
During that session | vetoed
appropriations amounting to over
five millions of dollars, a total
of vetoes more than the total of
appropriations vetoed since Wash
ington became a state. And |
have often thought, since that
time, that | did not veto as
much as ought to have done.
"The people have gotten to the
point in this state where taxation
has boone such a burden that
they can lily stand it and men
are finding today that they can
not pay their taxes when the
time of payment rolls around,
Is this progressing? Is it moving
onward and upward if we
appropriate moneys to such a
point for the purpose of develop
ing the state that we confis-
cate the property of Individuals"

Each school district, with re-
strictions, handles its own funds.
yet a general supervision must
be maintained by the county SUI
perintendent. Maps, appliances,
etc., cannot be purchased with
out the written consent of the
superintendent.
Creation and changing of
boundaries of school districts are
made by the superintendent, and
ratified by the commissioners.
A lack of knowledge of business
affairs, or poor judgment, or
personal preferences, may create
great hardships upon districts in
this matter of establishing and
maintaing of school district
boundaries. A personal Bnowl-
edge of local conditions is nee
essary in the matter of school
boundaries, teachers, buildings,
supplies, etc., and the technical
knowledge of pedagogic methods
must be supplemented with a
thorough practical experience to
make the school superintendent
of real value.
County school funds may be
directly divided into three
classes: State funds remitted to
the county according to school
attendance, the county general
school levy of 5 mills, and the
district levy. The state appor-
tionment to the county is from
the state funds, although these
state funds are derived from
taxation of the people of all the
counties. The county school levy
has been 5 mills for several
years. The district levies are
composed of levies to meet cur
rent expenses, bonding interest,
and building fund. For many
years the debts of districts
grew heavy by reason of insuffi-
cient levy. but the plan is now to
levy sufficient tax to gradually
clear up all Indebtedness of dis
tricts.
The magnitude of school op-
erations in a county the size of
Stevens is often lost sight of by
taxpayers. There is growing
demand that the office of school
superintendent be made non
partisan, and men of mature
judgment and large experience
be selected for the positions, at a
salary sufficient to get the best
men. Few corporations would
entrust $780, 900 annual busi-
ness to a person unframed in
finance, or without proved execu-
tive ability in large degree, yet
many of the counties of the
northwest allow the county
school management to drift into
the hands of whoever may be
used as a political catch for votes.

of the cost of conducting the

Interstate Fair, the new paper
mill plant, and the new Daven-
port Hotel, and complete arrange
ments for the entertainment of
accredited association members
are being made. On Sunday a
cost congress will be held, and
the full details of the approved
cost finding systems will be given
to members. Systems will be
presented for use in big shops,
small shops, and country plants
where all lines are handled,
special attention being given to
a cost system for the country
publisher. Supt. Fred w. Ken
nedy of the state university print
ing department will be the main
speaker. The Examiner editor
personally attests the ability of
Mr.. Kennedy to handle this SUBJ
iect in the interest of the country
publisher. Joe Borden, a recog-
nized expert on cost finding, will
also be present and assist.
Every person actively engaged
in the printing or publishing busi-
ness is eligible to membership in
the association. 1t is expected
that the meeting will be largely
attended, as this will be the first
cost congress in eastern Wash
ington.

Much interest and comment
have resulted from the big SUBJ
scription contest of the Examin-
er. The exceptional quality of
the four prizes has aroused great
interest. These prizes are on
display in Colville, and will be
awarded to the winners just as
soon as the judges announcement
is proclaimed next Saturday
night. 1t may take several
hours for the judges to count
the votes, but that will be the
only delay. The prizes are all
bought, and a clean bill of sale
for them will be given the win
ming contestants.
While the main effort is direc-
ted toward the new Buick, it
should not be forgotten that the
second prize is diamond ring
which cannot be bought anywhere
for less than S120, but which
Rich put in at S1C0. And Rich's
reputation here for years bears
out his advertising slogan that IF
it's from Rich's it's right"
George Roth, the man who
sold the Buick, has probably re-
ceived a thousand dollars worth
of advertising since the contest
started with his favorite make
as first prize, but he has never
wavered from his first statement
that the Buick is the best car for
this section, and that the Buick
engine can't be beaten.
The car has been driven about
$50 miles thus far, which is hard
ly sufficient mileage to bring a new
car down to perfection in move
ment. Rioth says that a car
works best after it has been
driven about 800 miles, but the
winner will have to do the rest
of the work.

The office of county superin-
tendent of schools is one OF
which the public knows little,
yet its Importance is so great
that more attention should be
paid to it by the taxpaying public.
How many people realize that
in Stevens county an average OF
about 5000, 600 is spent annually
for school purposes? This money
all comes from the pockets of the
taxpayers, and it is used to edu-
cate the youth of our county
the most vital thing in our pres
ent-day civilization. Yet the
county superintendent of schools,
who is virtually in charge of this
mommoth operation, is paid but
$100 a month, and is allowed one
deputy at 800.
Just to give an idea of the
school expenditures, glance at
the figures for the last four years
(the school year ending June 30
of the years mentioned):
