lYEHl4E TT q. TRLEST

Kenneth G. Triest, the former
Princeton student who was arrested
in Liverpool early in January and
held by the British government on a
charge of espionage, is indebted for
his release, in some degree at least
to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, whose
appeal to Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the
British Ambassador, on the boys be-
half was largely instrumental in
bringing about his release. Triest's
father, Wolfang G. Triest of New
York, brought his son back from
England and then took him to Oyster
Bay to thank Colonel Roosevelt.

Daily does not call his choice either

ut Is earnestly urged that the peo-
pie Of Idaho are upon different
basis now than they were when the
constitution was adopted and amend.

while some years ago business in this
state WAS conducte ed upon terms o.
extended credit, now 1T is upon a

ftom month 10 month, and that pay
ment of county officers quarterly in.
stead of monthly will result In grea
inconvenience. We are fully aware
of this soundness of the contention
and of the regretable incon Venience
which will follow Upon our construc.
tion Of this section OF the constitu-
