Sentiment! What power it is for
harm! Let preacher ask a man if
he says his prayers regularly at night
as his mother taught him, and the
chances are that the man will lie and
say he never neglects his prayers. If
man does hay his prayers why should
he care to have his preacher think
that he does? If you think it import
ant to say your prayers, say them;
but if you do not think it important,
do not become liar to oblige anyone.
Don't deny your honest opinions; don't
have opinions that are not worthy and
respectable. Make your opinions
stand the acid test of common sense
and then uphold them.

Lord NOrthcliffe, an English pub
Usher, says that before the beginning
of next year his income tax will be two
dollars and half of every five dol
lars of income. And this income tax
is special tax; Lord Northcliffe pays
other very large sums to his govern
ment. l do not know what the rate of
taxation was in France before the rev.
oluti0u, but probably it was not so
high as it Is in England to-day. And
this great burden is imposed on the
people not by popular consent but by
the action of a few politicians. When
will people realize that taxation is be-
coming serious?

ENFORCE PAYMENT
PERSONAL TAXES
ASSESSOR VENNIGERHOLZ HAS
NOTIFIED DELINQUENT TAX
PAYERS OF LATAH COUNTY
Must Pay Before November 22d or Suf-
fer Possibility Of Legal
Procedure

Unless Latah county delinquents OF
personal property taxes, those who are
not assessed for real estate, have paid
these taxes to the county assessor be-
fore November 22d, legal action will
be taken to collect the same. Such
was the statement made today by As
SCISSOR Vennigerholz.
II have just mailed out notices TO
such delinquent persons in the pay
ment of personal property taxes" said
Assessor Vennigerholz, "and unless
we get returns promptly l shall en-
force payment wherever I can legal
ly do so.
"Some of these taxes have been de-
linquent for long period and there
is no reason why they should not be
paid. The sum is quite heavy and the
total amount if paid would be quite
an item to the county"
This is the first instance anywhere
in the state, as far as is known,
where an assessor has taken the per-
sistent action that has been taken by
Mr.. Vennigerholz.

SPORT EDITOR
GETS BAD DOPE
Portland Evening Telegram Man Gets
ON Condition of Idaho GridirOn

The sporting editor of the Portland
Eveneing Telegram had what he
thought was a live scoop on other
newspapers when he accepted for
truth statement that the Idaho grid
iron was plOwed up in the hopes of
gaining some advantage for Idaho in
the Saturday game with w. S. c. The
story was published in Saturdays Tel
egram. The Idaho field when packed
is practically hardpan, the soil being
of clay substance. Coach Rademach-
er had the ground worked over as a
matter of protection against accidents
for the benefit of both teams, fearing
some injury to players when they hit
the ground in falls. Here's the story
in Saturdays Telegram:
"A well-known local sportsman who
has been making trip through east
reasons best known to himself does
not wish his identity disclosed, brings
back the information that Charles
Rademacher, the coach of the Idaho
eleven, has about as much real cum
ming as the fox.
Developments today in the Wash
ington State-Idaho game may show
that his methods have been rewarded,
and again, they may not. 1t is assert
ed by this party that Rademacher
procured a harrow and had the en-
tire football field gone over with this
implement of agriculture. The result
has been that the soil has loosened
considerably, and if it should happen
to rain, it will favor the Idaho team
greatly, as it is slightly heavier than
its rival, and doesn't depend on speed,
as much as does Coach Dietz's aggre-
cation.
"Rain would handicap the Washing
ton State college bunch considerably.
it is believed, and the result will be
watched with interest, if the report
is true, and the sportsman in question
swears that he saw the field. There
have been no reports leaving Mos
COW to this effect, which shows that
there must be an official censor on
deck who is wasting his talents in
this country, with the big war going
on"

Attaches of the federal court are

they will go to Occur dAlene where
Judge Dietrich will convene term
next Monday. There is slight business
to come before the court the present
week, some equity matters being set
for Friday The term is one of the
shortest held in Moscow in long time.
Deputy U. S. Marshal Mark Howe yes
terday took II prisoners to the Lewis
ton jail.
At Coeur d'Alene the court will
have a number of Indian liquor VIOLA
tions for the grand jury to probe.
Some civil business is set as well as
some criminal cases. The government
has a suit against the Panhandle Lum-
ber company seeking to recover the
value of certain timber cut from
homestead by an entryman on the the
a bonofde one.
A case that promises to be contest
ed there next week is charge against
a woman, Gail Grey of Wallace,
charged with having opium in her
possession without license contrary
to the provisions of the Harrison act.
1t is understood that the defendant
will contest the constitutionality of
this provision of the act. Peter John
son, a Coeur d'Alene Indian, must
stand trial for threatening to carve
another Indian with knife. Alex Alb
raham must stand trial for the alleg-'
ed stealing of horse and Reginald r.

against the Northern Pacific railway,
but corrected as against the Camas
Prairie railway, and against the
Washington, Idaho & Montana rail
way, alleging violations of the federal
safety appliance act, will not be tried
out in the present term of tl3 federal

state of attorneys for both companies.
II was indicated to the court that the
issues might be settled during the
session at Occur d'Alene shortly when
an intimation was given that the
companies might plead builty in part
to such violations.
The suits are of minor Importance,
the penalties being fine OF $1OO for
each offense. 1t is not the purpose OF
the government to harrass the rail-
ways in connection with this and SIM
liar acts since all railways in the Uni

position to work in harmony with the
