Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1916-03-30
SUIT COMMENCED
BY CANYON COUNTY
AGAINST FORMER ASSESSOR
G. H. MOORE AND HIS
BONDSMEN.

Wednesday morning the county
commissioners of Canyon county
filed a suit against ex-AGsessor Geo.
H. Moore and his surety, The United
States Fidelity and Guaranty Co.,
| wherein they allege that there is a
balance amounting to $5,07629, to-
gether with interest thereon at the
rate of per cent from the 22nd
day of March, the day on which the
suit was filed. The above amount
is alleged to be due from ex-Asses-
sor Moore for shortages in his ac-
counts SO found by Special Auditor
Clarence Van Deusen. The title of
the suit as it appears on the COM
plant is Canyon County, ex rel H.
A. Griffiths, Prosecuting Attorney
for the County of Canyon, State of
Idaho, Plaintiff VS.. George H. Moore
and The United States Fidelity and
Guaranty Company, Corporation,
defendants.
Mr.. Moore was assessor and ex-
officio tax collector of Canyon coun-
ty from the second Monday in jan
uary 1907, to the second Monday of
January, 1909 The county paid the
surety company $4,000 for a bond
for Moore in the sum of $50, 200. The
complaint alleges that Moore failed
to settle with the county auditor for
all money collected by him during
1907 and 1908 and that there is still
S3,317 so collected by him as tax
collector which he fraudulently and
corruptly retained and appropriated
to his own use and benefit. The
items which make up this total are
found on the tax rolls. The COM
plant alleges that because the mon
eys collected by Moore, as tax col
lector and retained to his own use
and benefit the defendants are in
debted to the county in the sum of
S3,317, which, with the interest on
same amounting to s1,759.29, makes

be due
The plaintiff also AYERS that it
has made demand on each of the de-
PENDANTS for the money, but each
had refused to pay the same or any
part.
Attorney Frank Martin, of Boise,
has been employed by the plaintiff
to prosecute the action. 1t is ru-
mored that three of the local firms
of attorneys have been retained by
the defendants to defend them. De-
PENDANT Moore, who is now treasurer
of the Nampa-Meridian Irrigation
District, made a statement wherein
he stated that all money that had
been collected by him had been
turned in to the proper place

CONSIDERED EOR YEARS.

CONSIDERED FOR YEARS.
II have for long time thoroughly
considered this matter in its every
aspect. | have been several years de-
veloping 1t, and have the satisfaction
of knowing that 1t has been approved
When l delivered my Weiser address
three years ago at the meeting of the
State Bankers association, the editor
of the Pacific Coast Banker, who was
in attendance, became very much in
terested. He was convinced of the
soundness of my theory and yet he
could hardly lead himself to believe
that the possibilities set forth could
be realized in so short time Sew
eral letters passed between US, in
which he asked for details Of the
plan relating to points which l did
not have time to bring out. He would
not publish the address even then un-
til his critic had gone into the matter
thoroughly and given it his approval.
WIDELY ENDORSED.
II am glad that so many well in
formed people of Idaho have Endorsed
the plan, in whole or in part, and
feel that when it has been fully pre-
scented to them, in all its bearings,
that even those who do not entirely
agree with me now will do SO then.
l have no such words as bunk and
'quackery' for any candidate now be-
fore the people for the Republican
nomination for governor" He added
that he did not propose to place
himself in such a position he could
not support the Republican candi-
date for governor if he should be de-
feated for the nomination.
APPROVED BY OPPONENT.
Senator Davis read several letters
indorsing his plan, one of which was
from Captain E. G. Davis, his oppo-
nent in the race for nomination,
which was dated June IL, 1913, and
read IN part as 1OllOWS:

Casual Comments ON Affairs
i'm Georgia.

N the Macon Neaos, one day last week, ap-
peared long letter signed "A Mother"
setting forth the trbulations of the average
pupil in the public school,
She makes out strong case against the edu-
cational system which has become so question
ably elaborate under NJ. L. Britain
Is there any sense in teaching Latin and
Algebra to the average boy?
Has the State got the right to tax you in
order that n1y children shall be drilled in dead
languages and higher mathematics?
| don't think So
An English education fits the pupil for citi-
zenship, because it enables him to read, and to
qualify himself for voting and jury duty; but
Latin, Greek, and Algebra add nothing to the
usefulness of the average man or woman
The highest law in Georgia limits to Eng
hsh the education to be paid for by the StatC
how is it, then, that public money is used for
these n-English branches of study?
Would it be calamity, if our educational
system were required to conform to the high
est law?
One of the Catholic organs-published in
Macon and edited by a renegade Canadian
raised howl over Miss Lovett, the Catholic
teacher in the Ormond Park public school,
The JeffersOnlan stated, on the best author
lty, that Miss Lovett seized the Testaments,
which certain pupils had won at a Sunday
School contest, and threw those Testaments
into the stove, where they were presumably
burned, since stoves usually burn what's flung
inside.
When her outrageous conduct was reported
to Supt. e. c. Merry, that official informed

In like manner, emphatically repeat the
statement concerning the other Catholic
teacher Miss Riordan the Principal of the
Davis Street School. She did put the 2nd
grade pupils through the following lesson:
"QUeSti0m: What is the best religion?
Ansarer: The Catholic religion is the best"
Miss Riordan used the public-school room,
the~pubhc-school hours, and her public school
authority to impose upon Protestant children,
by compelling them to say, as a matter of
school discipline, "The Catholic religion IS the
BEST"
Again and again, have asked Britain and
Landrum to come out into the open, and face
me and DR.. Reese on those two issues.
THEY refuse to do 1t.
WHY?
The name of Miss Stewart was given me-
originally, by mistake for that of Miss Rior-
dan, and by inadvertence was used a second
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1916-12-14

When the charges were first published, Sup
erintendent Landrum wrote me, asking my
authority. [ promptly referred him to DR..
Reese who had given me the facts-the orig
inal memorandum of which is still in my
possession.
DR.. Reese afterwards told me that Mr..
Landrum had been to see him. and that the
names of the witnesses were furnished to
Landrum.
The principal witness against Miss Lovett
IS Mr. Stewart d. Jones; and the principal
witnesses against Miss Riordan are Messrs.
Johenning and Spencer.
Did the Board of Education i1eterviea0 these
reputable citizens? If not, achy not?
[ have since learned that there are other
witnesses who will testify against Miss Rior-
dan and Miss Lovett; but until the three
whose names [ have given are examined,
what's the use of naming others?
Mr.. Landrum did not 60 to Mr.. Johenning
Why not?
The Board ignores Mr. Spencer Why so?
The Board can easily learn from Mrs
Jones the subject of that heated talk with
Miss Lovett over the telephone
How is it possible for anyone to imagine
that children could 'make up" such stories on
their teachers?
The little Jones girl had probably never.
heard of the absurd Catholic superstition
which separates the mother and her babe, con-
signing one to Heaven and the other to He'll
all on account OF the absence of priest and
drop of water.
When the righteous indignation of Mrs.
Jones caused her to reprove Miss Lovett over
the telephone, why, # innocent, did not Miss
IOvett disclaim the Offense?
Why wasn't the matter settled then?
What was it that caused Mr.. Jones to take
the incident to Superintendent Merry, and
why did Merry treat Jones' statement as true?
Miss Lovett has waited too long Neither
she nor any friend of hers protested against
the accusation until after 1t began to hu,t
Even then, no complaint was made to The
Jeffersonian, nor was there any request for
retractiOn. On the contrary, the public is
treated to the unsupported denial of Miss Low
EFT, garnished by profuse accompaniment of
scurrlity, in a third-rate daily paper which
very few people read.
Ii Misses 1ovett and Riordan are innocent,
let them show me by tangible evidence, of i'm
partial pupils who know the truth, and I will
put the correction in a place where the same
folks who saw the charges, will see the refuta-
ton.
Isn't that fair proposition?
Come out in the open, Brother Landrum.
Quit lodging behind petticoats
The truth of the business is, that Catho-
lie teacher in public school is out of place.
The permanent Law of the Roman church
bitterly condemns this kind of education The
Roman priests are eternally denouncing the
public schools and libelling them.

other vast national evils, one of the other four

Alexander H. Stephens, Bishop George Pierce,

Heretofore, it has not been generally known
how UNANIMOUSLY the Catholic creed insults the
memory of all Protestant wives The average
Catholic may not yet know it; but the priests
know it, and the teachers are presumed to-
know it,
They cannot possibly be in sympathy with
Protestant pupils, when they secretly look
upon them as bastards, the sinful fruit Of

Speaking of Latin, it didn't increase it's
popularity during my trial in Augusta.
The judge couldn't read it, the lawyers
couldn't, ex-governors couldn't, newspaper
