STATE WARDS KEPT
At REDUCED RATE
PER CAPITA EXPENSES LOWER
FOR 1856 IN SPITE OF
HIGHER PRICES.

The state board of control this
week issued a comparative statement
showing the per capita cost at the
different state institutions during the
biennium just closed, and comparing
1t to the two previous bienniums. The
average is SO cents per day per in
mate, compared to 81 cents for the
two-year period ended September 80,
1914, and nearly 81 cents for the BIZ
ennium that closed September 80.
1912.
In the face of the fact of the great
increase in price on practically every
thing used, the board is able to report
for the biennium just closed less
cost per capita in all institutions with
four exceptions than the biennium
preceding. and less cost per capita
in every institution with but two ex-
ceptions than the biennium ended
September 80, 1912.
Following is the table of COMPARE

that the critics lose sight of two i'm
portant factors. The first one Is that

lfcan party that was not harmonious;
that was in fact composed of ele-
ments SO antagonistic to each other

say these friends, Hughes was
damned II he did and damned II he
did not. 1t is said in extenuation Of
Hughes that toward the close of the
campaign there was such acute diver
gence of opinion in New York and
Chicago headquarters and among the
unattached advisers that Hughes was
forced. in self defense. to rely on his
own judgment. With divided coun-
sells, mistakes inevitably followed.
The other point of the defense Is
that the criticisms are made without
considering the terrific physical and
mental strain that Hughes labored
under. His was terribly laborious
canvass. The newspaper men who
accompanied him are recovering only
now from their exertions. If ever an
argument were made for abolishing
the rear-end, brass band and slapstick
method of rushing all over the coun-
try in order to gain the presidency,
the Hughes campaign furnished it.
While he vised the trips that were
laid out for him. Hughes remon-
|strated against being pummeled about
the country, as though he were a
candidate for some local Office. But
his protests were futile. The state
committees called insistently for him
and he yielded.

The larger per capita cost at the
State Training school is attributed to
tho removal of the girls to an insti-
tuition of their own. which cut down
greatly the population at the Chehalis
institution, and the greater cost of
the reformatory is attributed to the
completion of the new cell block, the
cost of it's upkeep being greater.

Recall Parker Case.

In discussing the question whether
Hughes has any political future, there
is constant tendency to refer to the
case of Alton B. Parker, another citi
zen who endeavored to translate him
self from the bench to the presidency
and failed, signally. There is an
analogy between the Parker and the
Hughes campaigns and there are
many who believe that in the future
Hughes will be just as nil, politically,
as Judge Parker has been since 1904.
A year after Parker had been his
party's standard bearer there was
none so low as to do him homage.
But Parker has acquired lucrative
law practice and Hughes, with his
supreme court prestige, will probably
fare even better

Hughes tragedy was recorded this
week when the pleasant home that

Senior Club Organizes

The Harvest ball held at the Odd
Fellows hall last evening was a
grand success Some 80 couples at
tended and danced through the eve
ming in typical harvest costumes.
Refreshments consisting of dough-
nuts and cider-real cider made fresh
that afternoon-was served.
A permanent dancing club was
organized as a result of the gather
ing which is to be known as the
Senior Club. Mrs. J. B. Brody was
elected chairman of the club and on
the executive committee with her
were appointed Mesdames H. A.
Gale, o. F. Howe, E E. Fry, Ernest
Saunders, Charles Laschinger and
H. l. Monks.
The club plans to hold eight dances
within the next four months. The
dates for the dances have not been
set. 1t is also planned to hire a
dancing teacher in order that club
members may learn the new steps
1t was decided that only married
couples could become club members
Those who are not club members
may be invited to the dances, how
ever, at the will of the executive
committee.
1t is the desire of those promi-
nent in effecting the organization
that as large a membership as pos
sible be secured. Any married cou-
pie will be welcomed into the clut
and the more members the club Sc
cures the less will be the pro rats
cost.

BOUND OVER
Defense Desired That the Case Be
Heard and Decided By District
Court Jury
COMPLAINING WITNESS TESTIFIES
Charge OF Stealing Brought Forth
Counter Charge

The preliminary hearing in the
case of the state against ]. v.
Stanley, county auditor, in which
the defendant is charged with stat
utory rape, was heard in Probate
Judge O'Callaghan's court Tuesday
afternoon beginning at two o'clock.
The chief witness for the prose-
cution, Louise Aldridge, testified.
After crcss-examining the witness,
Mr.. Cannon, of the law firm of
Cannon & Ferris, of Spokane, at
torneys for the defendant, announced
that the defense would introduce
on testimony and that it expected
the case to be continued to the dis
trict court. Accordingly Judge O'Cal-
laghan ordered that the defendant
be bound over to the district court
and fixed the bonds at $4,000 which
were furnished. County Prosecuting
Attorney leighton was assisted in
the prosecution by E. w. Wheelan,
of Standpoint. Bottum & Wilson APP
peared for the complaining witness.
A. w. Deavitt, of the Court Re-
porter company, of Spokane, acted
as official stenographer.
The testimony of Miss Aldridge
amounted to about the same state
ments she made in the deposition to
which she swore when the warrant
for arrest was issued.
1t was brought out that the charge
against Stanley was first made
when Mrs. Stanley accused the AL
bridge girl of having stolen certain
clothes belonging to Mrs. Stanley.
This happened in the office of P.
M. Collins, superintendent of schools.
Louise Aldridge testified that hot
words passed between Mrs. Stanley
and herself. She said that she had
never told anyone of her alleged
relations with Stanley and would
never have told but one person had
it not been for the dress incident.
The girl told that she worked for
the Stanleys about two weeks last
spring Just before the dedication of
the high school building. During
this time she told that Mr.. Stanley
had not approached her. She swore
that the crime of which she accused
Stanley was committed on the Stan
ley ranch about two years ago and
that the misconduct had occurred
five or six times. She also tolc
he had often Rugged and kissed her

COMMISSIONERS PLATFORM IS
EFFICIENCY and ECONOMY
Republican Candidates For County Commissioners Desire the Active Support
OF the Voters of Boundary County-They Have Made Good
And Are Respected as Private Citizens

The county commissioners hold
three of the most important offices
of the county. 1t is important then
that the voters take every precau
ton in the selecting of men to fill
these positions. Our commissioners
must be men of integrity, possess
more than the ordinary amount of
business ability and be willing to
sacrifice to a large extent their own
business affairs in their effort to
promote the general welfare of the
county. 1t is generally conceded
that the county commissioner in
Idaho is not properly compensated
for work which must be done and
for time which must be spent if
the interests of the taxpayers are
properly looked after. On this ac-
count we maintain that our board
of county commissioners must be
men willing to make sacrifices.
The Republicans have greatest
faith and confidence in their candi-
dates for the office of county COM
missioner. Wyman r. Hoagland, can
didate in the First District, has
lived in this county for many years.
By years of hard and incessant work
he has made for himself a farm
home of which he may be justly
proud and he is one of whom it
can be said: "He has made a sue
cess of his own business" Mr..
Hoagland understands road building
and the maintenance of roads which
is very necessary knowledge for a
county commissioner. He is a shrewd
business man and being a large tax
payer himself, the voters need nc
further assurance that he will con
duct the business of the county as
he would his own and this alone
is enough to win for Mr.. HoaglanC
a handsome majority at the election
November 7.
In the Second District, VIM. E
Rath is the Republican candidate fol
commissioner. One of Mr. Rath'!
best recommendation to the voters
of the county is the splendid sup
port which was given him in tn,
primary election in his home pre-
cinct-where he is best known ant
where he has lived for years-whel
he received a total of 62 votes on
of a total of IA republican vote
cast This is remarkable recor,

Mrs. Wells Grows Celery Seed

Mrs. Wells Grows Celery Seed
Mrs. f. H. Wells this week left
at the Herald office some samples
of celery seed which she grew this
season and which she will send
to the department of agriculture at
Washington and to the University
of Idaho for the purpose of having
determined whether or not the seed
compares favorably with that grown
in other localities.
Mrs. Wells grew the seed on the
Alva Fry ranch on Fry creek. This
seed is very difficult to grow and
is raised in very few localities in
the United States. 1t is very cost
ly and it is understood that the pres
ent market value is $32 per pound.
Mrs. Wells is recognized as an
expert in the seed growing business
and she takes great pleasure in
experimenting and in raising seeds
which are superior. When she hears
from Washington, d. o, the failure
or success of her latest experiment
will be made public in order that
others may profit from her labor.

GEO. WADE MARRIED TUESDAY
WEEDS Miss Emma ]. Glenn in Spo-

George C. Wade, a we'll known
real estate man of this city and
Miss Emma j. Glenn, of Spokane,
were united in marriage Tuesday at
the home of the bride, Rev. Stewart,
a Presbyterian clergyman, perform
ing the ceremony. The wedding was
witnessed by only the immediate
friends and near relatives of Mr..
and Mrs. Wade.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wade came to Bon
ners Ferry Wednesday They will
be at home to their friends as soon
as the new modern bungalow which
Mr.. Wade is building on the former
Eagan property is finished by Con-
tractor Clapp.
The bride has been a resident
of Spokane for a number of years
living there with her mother, who
recently died, and her brother, who
is a travelling auditor in the employ
of the Great Northern railway. She
, is a lady of many accomplishments
and is held in high esteem by hei
acquaintance in Spokane and ir
her former home of st. Paul.
Mr.. Wade has been a resident OF
this destrict for the past ID years
and during this time has built uT
a paying real estate and insurance
business. He is the owner of val.

when it is considered that there
were three opposing republican can
didates.
Mr.. Rath has served in public life
in eastern and western states. He
was raised on a farm and has fol-
lowed farming all his life with the
exception of few years where he
operated a hotel in Illinois. He has
always taken an active part in public
affairs and is we'll versed in the
most successful methods of handling
the business of a county. He is a
good roads enthusiast and he stands
for economy and efficiency and will
insist on this program in every de-
partment.
Malcolm Bruce, the republican can
didate for commissioner of the Third
District needs no introduction to the
voters of Boundary county. Not that
he has ever held office or asked for
office. This he has never done as
far as we know.
He is one of the early settlers of
the county and owns a we'll improved
ranch near Boomers Ferry and has
accumulated enough of this worlds
goods to be comfortably fixed. Mr..
Bruce is one of those plain, every
day, commonplace men who tend
strictly to their own business, who
are fair and just in their dealings
with others; who are transformations
and conservative. Back of all OF
this is a shrewd Scotch brain which
is working all the while. And that
same native gray-matter, the voters
of Boundary county may be assured
will work to advantage if it is al
lowed to have a voice in the mex
administration in the county.
We believe the majority of tn,
voters of Boundary county will join
with the Herald in endorsing Hoag
land, Rath and Bruce in their can
didacy for election as the next coun
ty board of commissioners, upol
their platform of efficiency an,
economy" and a dollars value il
work to the county for every dolla
expended" They have made goo
in private life and their word i
as good as their bond. There is n
reason to feel that they would no
make good in public life. Let's tr
