Fred M. Coleman, former deputy
state treasurer, arrived in Boise from
Portland Thursday afternoon and was
Immediately arrested on charge of
embezzling state funds in the sum of
$4,000, thus adding to the confusion
in the state capitol and throughout the
state
Where the money went Allen is not
telling and the implication OF Coleman
causes many to ask il any Others are
involved. Although the first figures
indicated that approximately 1000
or more was missing, Saturdays news
from the state capitol found the figures
growing, it being asserted that. the
shortage would be between 10000 and
$l5O,0O0. A second complaint was
sworn out against Coleman Saturday
charging him with responsibility for a
further shortage Of more than $6O, 900.
Every day adds more confusion and
CONSERVATION and no one except per-
haps the auditing officials of the
surety companies have any idea of the
extent of the Irregularities at Boise
and of everyone involved, or whether
the final revelation will show others
besides Allen and Coleman as being in
yolved.
Sundays news from Boise tell of
Allen getting $4,000 of the $4,000 ap-
preparation thus accounting for the ap-
preparation being used up few months
ago since which time deficiency war
rants have been issued to pay janitors
and care takers of that building.
This deficiency in the capitol build
ing fund was announced some months
ago, the whole $4,000 being exhausted
save 81 cents.
It Went to Allen.
1t is now charged that the real rea-
son for this unexpected shortage is the
fact that it went to Allen.

Large Audience Listens to
Address of John F. Nugent

plying the millions they already pos
sessed; that the panic occurred during a
republican administration, that the ad.
ministration did nothing whatever to
avert it, and that after the entire coun.
try had become involved, Mr.. Cortelyou,
the secretary of the treasury, turneo
over to J. p. Morgan $43, 100000 of the
peoples money. Mr.. Nugents stated
that in due course of time the $43, ,OO0,-
900 had been returned to the treasury
without interest. He also stated that
last year there was considerable talk
OF and fear of another financial panic
and that he believed that the big
bankers OF the country had brought
about depressed condition of busi-
ness affairs in the hope that they would
arouse public opinion to such an extent
as to delay indefinitely tariff legisla-
ton and the enactment of the currency
measures; that instead of waiting until
the nation was in the throes of a panic
before taking action, the democratic
administration, through Secretary Nc.
Adoo, issued statement to the effect
that is stood ready to issue $500, ,OOO, 900
of emergency currency, and that with
in "a hours after the issuance of said
statement the bottom dropped out of
the panic.
Mr.. Nugent said that since McAdoo
became secretary of the treasury, the
bankers Of the country had paid to the
government the sum of $1,400,OOO as
interest ON government deposits, and
that prior to 1908 not one cent of in
terest had been paid thereon. He con-
ceded that prior to the outbreak of the
European war there was no valid rea.
son for the depressed condition in the
United States as the crops produced
this year were larger than ever be-
fore in our history and that the de-
pressed condition then prevailing was
due to the concert of action on the part
of the men Of wealth of this country
to bring about such condition as would
lead to the election Of republican con-
gress in November.

To the voters of Idaho County:


Those who favor county division
have repeatedly referred to Lewis coun-
ty as an example Of how small county
can be run, but they do not call atten-
tion to the fact that although Lewis is
small county, it is twice as large
financially, and one-third larger in
population than any one of the propos-
ed new counties would be if Idaho
county were divided into three coun-
ties.
The assessed valuation of property in
Idaho county this year is $11 ,500,0 600.
Divide this by three and we have 49,
833,333 in each of the new counties.
The assessed valuation Of property in
Lewis county last year was $S,372 ,045
or more than double the amount that
one of the new counties would have.
The voting population of Lewis
county is about a250, while that of one
of the new counties would be about
1400. If the expense of running one
Of the new counties is the same as
Lewis county it will be necessary to
double the Lewis county tax levy for
county purposes in order to provide the
same amount of revenue in the new
county.
The tar levy for county purposes in
Lewis county this year is exactly the
same as Idaho county. Let us see what
it will be if the county is divided:
Lewis county assessment $8,372, ,045
levy Of l per cent, proceeds $8,372.04.
Proposed Randall county assessment
1888, ,333 levy Of Q per cent, proceeds
" ,666.66.
The proposed Randall county would
get less revenue from . two per cent
levy than Lewis or Idaho county gets
from one per cent levy, or in other
words the people win pay two dollars

dollar now, II three counties are Great

STATE RECEIVES
ADDITIONAL MONEY

An additional $16,666.66 has been
secured by United States Senator
Ollie M. James and Commissioner of
Agriculture Newman for the agricul-
tural interests of the State. Under
the General Appropriation Act Ken
lucky gets $22,50O from the United
States Government for this purpose.
The additional $16,666.66will give the
State more than $4,000 to be used
for extending agriculture.
The appropriation was secured by
an amendment to the General Appro-
priation Bill. The amendment pro-
vided for an additional appropriation
of $4,000, which was divided between
the States of Kentucky, Maryland and
West Virginia.
These States will now get the same
amount from the Federal Govern
ment for agricultural purposes as
other Southern States. With the ad.
ditional appropriation Commissioner
Newman hopes to employ at least
twenty more farm demonstrators. He
now has twenty at work in the field

no foreign traffic. Could anything be
more sardonic? Just when the most
notable peace enterprise is done, the

course, so far as ocean transportation
is concerned, this Is passing condi-
ton, while the Panama waterway is
presumably there for all time, and 1t
will profit by the trade revival and the
regeneration of American shipping
whenever they come. But it is doubt
full if any one happening could throw
into clearer relief the essentially
wasteful and destructive character OF
the war abroad than Col. Cocktails no.

the French are using "dumdum" bull
let's to fight their enemies in defiance
of the rules of international war. The
French have called on Wilson to dis
regard the German claims and apprais-
ed him that the fault lies the other
way-that it is the Germans who are
using the dumdum bullets.

tries have to gain by telling their
woes to and registering their com.

to see. Whether true or false, the
conditions are not such that the Uni
ted States can rectify them.
The various compliments talk about
the rules of civilized warfare, but that
is idle talk. There Is but one rule or
war and that is to crush the enemy.
War takes no cognizance of any thing
else. Sex, age, and being noncom-
blatant are considered by soldiers IN
the same degree that the soldiers are
MEN. Real MEN, even though engag-
ed in war, will not harm women, chill
dren, old men, or people who are not
engaged in fighting. But all soldiers
are not real MEN any more than all
male beings are MEN in the true sense
of that word. There are soldiers who
are not MEN with the Germans, with
the French, with the Russians, with
the English, with the Belgians and IN
fact with every nation under the sun.
These fellows commit crimes that are
violations of the ethics Of manhood,
but the crimes are part OF war, al
ways have been and probably always
will be. 1t is unfortunate but 1t is
true. War gives soldiers the legal
right to kill other human beings and 1t
lis not to be wondered at that some
are weak enough to believe that war
also gives them the right or at least
the opportunity to commit other atroc-
tiles. President Wilson will be wise
