The Value of Conscience.

In the case OF the individual, IL he
is conscientious man, ii he does
what he believes to be right. you
must respect him whether you agree
with him or not. The man 10 private
life who follows his conscience. is
entitled to the respect OF everyone
who knows him, no matter how be
may err 10 the opinion OF those about
him. And 10 public life also, it Is as
important that man should follow
his conscience. There is nothing else
that is reliable. The burdens Of a
high position are too great to be
borne by any man who does not put
the approval Of his conscience above
the applause OF the multitude. And
the wise man knows that the more
closely he follows his conscience, the
more likely be is to have the applause
OF the multitude. William Jennings
Bryan.

The people Of Grangeville are
getting tired Of supporting four
churches when one will serve all
practical purposes. They plan TO
amalgamate and a right sensible
plan it is. The differences be-
tween any two protestant churches
are SO small that broad minded
men and women Of the one find no
trouble in communing with the
other. It is practical economy to
eliminate waste wherever found.
A strong congregation can accom-
plish more good than four or FIVE
weak congregations. The ANAL
gamation will give society three or
four useful members who are not
now useful to the fullest extent.
1t will release capital now tied up
in church property. In every way
in which you look at it the plan Of
the Grangeville folk is worthy. =

better place 10 which to live.
Spring is the time when the great.
est care and effort should be made to
remove and destroy the winters
accumulation Of debris, dirt and fllth,
which latter, II let undisturbed, may
become the breeding place for flies
and the source of disease.
In every community attention

The death Of the drunken man
by falling fren the cliff near the
falls recently and the lack Of rcla-
tives or friends to mark his pass
ing, is indeed pitiable in the
extreme. But the record Of the
events leading 10 his death pre-
sents = very strong temperancc
lesson 70 all men. For several
months drink had claimed q mas
terry over man endowed with
much ability, great intellect aud
still greater personality. Drink
stole away his reason and finally
claimed the, last toll which il clsims
from all its victims. Instead Of
an honored existence surrounded
by his frieids, the lot Of an out
cast and death among unsympa
thetic strangers was his merely
for the temporary pleasure Of The
flowing bowl. Not one thinking
man in thousand can claim that
the few moments Of insensate
pleasure can ever repay the loss Of
self-respect, home ties and the
friendship and esteem Of associ-
ates. s.-Twin Falls Times.

ACTION IS ILLEGAL
County Commissioners Accused
by J. c. White.
BUYING TIMBER ESTIMATES
Kept Expense Secret From People,
It is Alleged.

ceur d'Alene, April 49,
Through an action filed in the dis
trict court today ]. c. White seeks
to enjoin the county commission
ers from carrying out a contrac,
recently entered into by them with
c. w. Pelham, by which COM
plete cruise Of all tine timber land
in kootenai county was to haze
been furnished the county for the
use of the county assessor, to en-
able that official to accomplish an
equitable assessment for taxation.
The board agreed to pay Pelham
a stipulated sum for copies Of
cruises made by him of timber on
all reservation lands just before
the opening of the reservation to
settlement, FIVE years ago, and
warrants to the amount of $4,000
have already been allowed, the
contract further providing that the
remaining timber lands shall be
cruised under the superintendence
of Pelham at $I25 a month, the
county to pay for the services of
all cruisers employed by Pelham
at not to exceed IS per day.
The complaint further alleges
that the commissioners kept this
contract from being entered upon
the record to keep the facts away
from the people, and that the total
cost of the work mapped out will
amount to $50, 900 or more, that
the county is in no condition to
pay this large sum, and that the
action of the board is illegal and
void.
The complaint alleges that no
plans or specifications were adopt
ed, and that there was no call for
competitive bids; that the pre-
tended appointment of Pelham
creates new Office in the county,
in violation of section 6, article
XVIII of the state constitutions;
and that the action of the COM
missioners was to fix these duties
upon Pelham, which duties were
already those Of the county assess
or. The complaint refers to the
large amount of interest charge
the county would have to meet;
and that all is void and illegal.
The plaintiff asks that the de-
PENDANTS be enjoined and restrained
from proceeding further; for a
temporary injunction against all
parties; that the parties shall be
made to show cause why injunc-
tion should not be made perman-
ent, and for decree making the
action in issuing and directing the
auditor to issue the said warrants
void and illegal.
