The other day we had the pleas.
ure of a visit with a justice of the
Idaho supreme court-not a bust
ness visit-just a talkfest. Dur
ing our conversation the subject
of the efficacy of the laws passed
IN recent years came up and we
asked the justice wherein the
laws enacted during the past Is
years had benefited the taxpayers
OF Idaho; what right of the people
had been protected that was not
safeguarded Is years ago; and
just how much the voluminous
legislation of the past Is years
had Injured to the welfare of the
Idaho citizen. After giving it a
few minutes thought he passed.
So did we.
Isn't it a fact that your rights
as a citizen were protected as
adequately Is years ago as they
are today? Isn't it a fact that
your property was protected Is
years ago as we'll as it is TODAY?
With all our boasted progressive
ism, isn't it fact that the men
and women who builded Idaho
would be glad to go back to the
old laws where virtue was an
asset and character needed no
statute to win to the Pearly
Gates?
During the past Is years Idaho
has spent some millions of dollars
plllng up statutes to govern your
conduct and ours, and we have
gone quietly along and paid no
attention to them. We have act
ed just the same as we did before
the laws were passed. Ten leg
islatures have done their best to
make criminals of US, but we re-
fuse to act up. And, honestly,
isn't tia shame to throw awav
good money every two wears to
pay a bunch of boobs to prescribe
rules of conduct for you and us
tnat we wont pay any attention
And we might pause a moment

FRIDAY, ULY 9, 1915.

1t is within the power of the
farmers of Camas prairie to
stamp out every bit of mustard
or other noxious weeds on the
prairie if they really desire to do
so, but they must get together
and work with a purpose or their
efforts will be fruitless. Under
the noxious weed law it is neces-
sary for twenty-five per cent of
the resident free-holders of each
road district to petition the coun-
ty commissioners to create a
noxious weed district within
their road district. These petit
tons should be filed with the
county board during the late
winter or early spring in order
that the board may have ample
time to take necessary action
and get its ruling into operation
before the noxious weeds have
gone into seed. A large MAORI
ty of our farmers do not need a
noxious weed law to cause them
to keep their fields free from
such pests but they should not
hesitate to make use of the law
in requiring their more careless
or thoughtless neighbors and the
renters of large tracts of Indian
land to do likewise. 1t will not
require a great deal of united eff
fort at present to keep our fields
free from noxious weeds if we
use proper precautions for the
next three or four years but mat
tiers are at such stage just now
that a few years more of careless
ness or Indifference to the weed
menace will see many sections
of this fine prairie beyond re-
demption. Better act now than
when it is too late.

Other means of marking important
points which have been left by the re-
treating Germans are stretches of tar
paulin on tops of trees. flags on cnim-
ney stacks and tents pitched in the
grounds of the deserted buildings.
Another ingenious trick of tho Ger
mans is to fix sham pieces of metal
shaped exactly like the periscopes of
submarines onto mines. Thus the weap-
on of destruction is likely to be mis-
taken for a submerged submarine. and
1t may possibly be rammed by a hostile
ship, with disastrous results.

Most of the important bridges have
been wired by spies on the continent,
SO that when troops pass over them
an electric. current flashes message
to batteries some miles distant.
This Is accomplished by tho old
method of fixing two pieces OF metal

contact is formed which gives the nec-
essary message to the distant gnnners.

Bird Shares Convict's Cell

Jimmie, the Sparrow" new prisoner
arrived at the Eastern penitentiary yes
terday. He occupies the cell with Cali.
gerio Strazzert, who began a 10 years
sentence for the killing of Diego RAN
dazzo in Berks county.
Jimmie" is a real sparrow. This little
bird flew into the cell in the Berks county
JAIL where Strazzeri was kept pris-
oner for six months after his arrest for
the killing. He came and went for sew
era1 days. and then took up his perma-
nent residence there. Yesterday when
Strazzerl was transferred to the peniten-
tiary here. he brought Jimmie along,
hoping against hope that the warden
would let him keep the bird. Kind
hearted Warden McKenty said: "Of
course, you can keep him." in his bluff,

When 6traxxeri took his first shower
bath in his new prison yesterday the lit
tie bird sat upon a desk, then flew to the
top Of the open door Of the shower,
watching. When the bath was over he
perched on the convict's shoulder, looked
up in his face and then pecked at Stray
zeri's nose. Jimmie is said to know many
tricks. all taught him by his friend. the

LATEST WAR DODGES

In the present war the spy is prov
ing a far more dangerous menace than
has been the case in past campaigns,
for he is in a position to further his
ends by means of so many modern III
ventions, says Pearson's Weekly.
Electricity Is now valuable asset
to the military spy. For instance, a pa
troll of British troops recently noticed
fisherman busily casting his line
from boat moored in small river in
Belgium.
The troops We're hungry, so they
shouted to the sportsman to sell them
his catch. The fisherman, however,
displayed a marked aversion to COM
ing ashore, so the soldiers waded out
and raided his craft. 1t was then that
they discovered that the innocent look
ing sportsman was spy, who had at
the bottom of his boat an electric bell
push connected with a wire running
shoreward.
An underground cable on the bank
carried his signals several miles across
country to the German encampment.
By means of the Morse code the spy

Fishermen In rivers are now given

that this means of signalling Is prac-
ticed in the vicinity of all important
bridges over which troops and trans
port are likely to pass.
Spies working under the glise Of

tinent. They work in the fields but
whilst apparently bending over their
hoes they are carefully watching the
movements of all troops passing near.
Recently farmer was seen oy
Russian patrol industriously loading
his cart with farm produce in the GEN.
ter OF field. They searched the We
hicle.. but found nothing Suspicious
therein. and were about to ride off
when the horse jerked up it's nose
bag.
An unmistakable metallic clink EN-
anated from the feeding bag and in d
moment the soldiers had wrenched 1t
cealed therein. The wires from the in
strument stretched across several
heids to neighboring farmhouse. The
peasant was spy who had been sig
mailing through the telephone the
strength and movements of passing
troops.
A clever ruse of German spies is to
SO mark buildings they have deserted
that later an aeroplane can fly over
and drop bombs on to the shelter when
It is captured by the allied troops.
Near Antwerp large country house
was recently abandoned by the Ger.
mans during retreat. The marines
captured it and found a white goat
