slowed on him the same fond glarce
that the cat bestows upon the canary
cornered in its cage, and then spoke
thus:
MAY it please the court: | congrat-
ulate myself upon the judicial frame
Of mind in which | am enabled to APP
proach consideration of this case.
For my perfected appreciation of the
many virtues that Judge Douglass
possesses and Colonel Anthony's fail
ure to appreciate any of mine, leaves
me in a state delightfully."- impartial.
Ordinarily, lawyers zeal for his
clients cause outruns his judgment,
but when that client has knocked out
the bung from the hogshead of his
wrath and deluged him with its con-
tents until he wades up to his middle
in troubled waters, situation is pre-
sented that tends to neutralize the
lawyers zeal until it is reduced to
judicial calmness that is without bias;
and | am able to undertake discus
sion of this case without prejudice,
passion or any feeling.
"The one thing that is wrong about
this case is your honoh cannot find

the standpoint of personal merit,
neither of them came into court with
clean hands, and | have doubts about
their feet. But Anthony had paid the
taxes for many years on tie property,
and in so doing has contributed to
the revenue of the state and county
This is playing the part of a good
citizen, part that is new to him and
sets awkwardly upon him, and one
that startles the community with its
novelty. But since he is playing this
part he ought to be encouraged in it
by being permitted to win this suit.
When you find one doing right for the
first time in his life, the thought of
him revolts the judicial
conscience.

out. which is vital to the hopes of the
central empires. Many of the war
ring submarines have been caught
since the war began, and the same
fate may overtake an undersea cargo
boat. And yet, there arc added diff
ficulties in a case of this kind. I'M
less the allies should apply the same
heartless methods which marked the
early days Of German submarine war
fare, the Deutschland, being "A non
combatant, must be seized and
searched before it can be sunk, I'M
less, of course, it should try to es-
cape, and il would naturally be more
difficult to determine whether such
a craft was trying TO escape than in
the case Of a surface steamer. But
the work of this war has gone so far
that the possibilities of the subma-
rine liner are apt to see their largest
development in the next conflict. No
nation in danger of blockade will
again feel properly prepared for war
unless it has fleet of such ships to
make the blockade futile. Could Ger
many have been thus equipped, there
would have been no food shortage,
perhaps, nor a dearth of other mater
ials for which the central empires
must look beyond their own borders.
This, of course, on the theory that the
Deutschland proves as successful as
her initial voyage indicated. But,
whatever the ultimate result, the
stands as a fine tribute
to Teutonic resourcefulness in the
face of overwhelming sea power A
feet of such ships, and even larger
submersibles, may be call
ing at our ports before the war has
ended. Jules Verne doesn't seem so
much an idle dreamer as when he
used to brighten our boyhood days.

CURRENT COMMENT

That Idaho wants change from
the kind Of government it has mad
for a number of years one needs but
to get his ear TO the ground and lis
ten to what the voters are saying.
1t wants more breadth and vision and
understanding of state needs in the
governors office. IL wants more of
the right kind of courage and SER
iousness of purpose to face square
ly the real problems that confront
the state ard make an honest effort
TO solve them by every state official.
Idaho people are tired-dead tired
of the scandals in the land board
that pop up every week or two. 1t
is tired Of the governor of the state
using his position and devoting his
time to furthering his own political
ambitions. 1t is tired Of other Of
ficials stirring up continual row
in order 10 put one over on the
governor. Neither Governor Alex
ander nor any of the other state Of
ficials were elected for that purpose.
An administration is needed that
will not be wasteful Of the peoples
money and yet will not be SO niggard-
ly as to cripple or stringhalt the
state schools and other institutions
by lack of funds. In short. Idaho
needs an administration that will
work together tremendously and eff
fectively TO bring this state up to
the rank in progress and develop
ment that its citizenship and resour-
ces and wealth justify-an admins
tration that has the courage and
seriousness of purpose to face
squarely the real problems that con-
front the state and make an honest
effort to solve them. not mereS to
evade them OF gloss them over for
fear of offending somebody or in
Juring his political aspirations. The
people of Idaho will have an oppor-
tunity 70 secure such officers in the
coming primaries and election il
they investigate every candidate and
vote for the best men. If they do
not they will have no one to blame
hut themselves.

sERV-US MINCE MEAT

Package condensed mince meat Is made up today of the best quality of dried fruit and other items which can be found, all of which are found in the United States with the exception of spices and CUrrantS. The study Of packing condensed minCe meat has ex- tended over a period of 100 years and today is as near it's perfection as we can possibly conceive. The sanitation m the factories in which it is packed is beyond reproach as the competition today in these lines necesSltaUeS tho guarding of the most minute detail of the business. The apples used are of the best grade of New York State, where in our opinion is grown the best favored apple known. The raisir5 used are of the best quality seeded variety. No expense is con- sidered in procuring the very highest grade of spices, and sugar, as we all know, is always sugar the different grades merely representing the differ ent faVOrS or different grap ulatIOn re- quired for different purposes.

 particle of fruit or any other article

 wife cleaner by far than she could
 possibly take the same articles in her
 own kitchen, regardless of how clean
 it may be, and make up the filler for
 her minCe pie. The old idea Of dirt
 being prevalent in quantity is today
 disputed by the greatest authorities on food products. The meat used in nlince meat is of the choicest and to-
 day the same corn-beeI which you and I would use on our table is what is being used in Serv-us Nince Meat. There are very few pies made which
 can be used as handily by the house. wife as mince meat for all it requires is a little water and being heated for ten minutes and it is ready for the crust and then the table and she may without fear of loss carry three or four packages of mince meat in her pantry, having it ready at any time for the chance occurrence of uneXpeCt- ed company and 1t will be a good dessert free from dirt. It is our thorough belief that a mince meat pie made from condensed mince meat is about as cheap a dessert as can be prepared and yet as good.
 For many years mince meat was considered a winter dish. Each year for the last ten our factory has had to increase it's capacity during the summer months until today it runs every day of the year with a regular force of helpers. We ship goods to every part of the country the entire year. This of course means a great increase in the use of these goods over when mince meat was eaten only in the winter months which means an in
 creased sale over the former winter
 consumption.

That Norwich was the first city this side of New York state to hold up and examine children from the me tropolis after the outbreak of the in fantiIe paralysis epidemic, is the state ment made by a New Haven railroad man who daily travels through the city. This statement is worthy of more than passing notice for it means that our city health officials are right on the job. It has also been noticed that other Connecticut cities are fol- towing the methods instituted by Health Officer Edward J. Brophy in his efforts to keep the disease from invading the homes of Norwich citi- zens.
 On Wednesday the quarantine on the Brooklyn girl at the West Side was lifted as it has been proved to Dr. Brophy's satisfaction that the child has not contracted the disease. Her fever has subsided and she is gaining normal health.
 It was stated on Wednesday night by the health officer that there are no new suspected cases in the city at the present time There was a report on Wednesday that there was a case on the West Side but an investigation showed no foundation for any such rumOr

 Five hundred pamphlets have been published in the Hebrew language and distributed to those Hebrew people who are unable to read English. The pamphlets have been published in the Hebrew language because nearly 90 per cent. of the people coming here with children from New York are of the Hebrew race.

 One suspected case of infantile paralysis was discovered on the New London line steamer coming to New London from New York, Wednesday morning. The victim is a child about 15 months old and is one of four. The child is a patient at the contagion ward of the Memorial hospital where the other three children of the family were also taken as a precautionary step.
 The case was discovered during the examination of children which came up on the New London line steamer according to orders issued by Health Officer Edwin c. Chipman, Tuesday afternoon. When the boat arrived shortly after 1 o'clock Drs w. D. CrOnin and Thomas SOltz and Inspec- tor Lawrence J. Mckinley acting on orders of the health officer boarded the boat and ordered that all chil- dren must submit to an examination The physicians were assisted by Mrs Nellie R.
