STATE AND FEDERAL
AUTHORITIES COMPROMISE

There is a conflict in dates
between the Idaho state game
laws covering migratory birds
and the federal game laws, the
state law fixing the open season
from September to November
and the federal laws from
October ist to December 20.
According to Deputy State
Game Warden George Cornell of
Chatcolet compromise has
been agreed upon between the
federal and state departments
by which the open season will be
from September 7th to December
20. This will give the sports
men about two weeks more hunt
ing than they would have had if
either the state or federal laws
had been followed.
The officials will act together
and any hunting between Sept. 4
and Sept. 7 will be prosecuted
under the federal law. Bag
limit established for sage hen,
pheasant, partridge and grouse
is ~ in any one day and "a
birds of any kind is the limit to
be found in ones possession at
any time, according to the Idaho
law.

1T IS NOT TO
BE WONDERED AT

The Gazette refers sneeringly
to the article. in the last issue of
The Record in regard to the
duty of newspapers. This is
only to be expected from a news.
paper that never was known to
take a stand on any moral ques-
ton and whose policy is dictated
by the consideration of how the
pocketbook of the editor will be
affected.
1t is not strange that the
Gazette, as the republican organ
OF the county, should gloss over
and try to belittle the charges
against Mr.. Leaf as it knows he
is the weakest candidate the
democrats could put up and if
nominated would be defeated.
! If the Gazette had ever been
known to take a decided stand on
any question, unless it was
something the entire community
was in favor of, it would be
natural to expect that it would
have come out openly and ad-
Nocated the nomination of Mr..
Leaf.

FAILS TO ENFORCE
LIQUOR LAWS

Mr.. Leaf in a communication
in the Gazette last Friday took
great credit to the sheriff's office
for the number of persons who
have plead guilty and served
sentences. AS the records
show that all of these cases have
been men charged with bootleg
ging he would have the people
infer that he has been active in
prosecuting the bootleggers. Is
this a fact?
Everyone at all cOnversant
with the conditions in the county
and especially in this city knows
that bootleggers are operating
almost at will. There is hard
ly a day but what men in various
stages of intoxication can b'

Labor Day has come to be
one of the principal holidays of
the year, and in Importance is
classed with Decoration Day and
the Fourth of July. Although,
as a rule, this city, outside of
the banks, pays but little atten-
ton to holidays in general it
will observe Labor Day. Every
business place that can possibly
close will do so.
A fact which gives added in
terest to Labor Day this year is
that it is the time set for the
great railroad strike. Up to the
present time President Wilson
has failed in his endeavor to
bring about a settlement between
the railroads and their employees.
After the compromise proposed
by the president and accepted by
the men had been absolutely re-
jected by the railroads the lead
ers of the brotherhoods called a
strike of all their members to
take effect at 7 a. m. Monday.
The strike will be general on
all of the principal railroads in
the United States and it is ex-
pected will completely tie up all
kinds of business, although the
men have stated that mail trains
will be permitted to run. The
railroads, in anticipation of the
strike, are not receiving any
perishable freight which can not
be delivered before September 4
and will not receive any freight,
except subject to delay. Agent
Burt of the Milwaukee road re-
ceiVed orders to the above effect
Wednesday afternoon and has
notified shippers and no perish
able freight is being received al
the local depot.
The president has laid the en-
tire situation before Congress
and has asked that legislation be
passed to give him the power to
settle the strike. Neither party
is satisfied with the provisions OF
the plan submitted by the pres
iOent to Congress, the railroads
because an eight hour day is
made compulsory. The brother
hoods object to the provision fol
commission to look into the
causes of any proposed strike.
Press dispatches from Wash
ington state that the republican:
in congress are likely to oppose
the presidents measure but HI
believes that it will pass, never
theless. He has not lost faith il
the possibility of averting tn
strike and has appealed to tn
leaders of the brOtherhOOds Il
call off the strike pending actor
by congress.
The record. [volume] (St. Maries, Idaho) 1913-1918, 1916-09-01

that he has completed his work
and naturally continues in school
and the result is that many
pupils will finish high school who
under the old system would have
dropped out at the end of the
eighth grade.
Another advantage Of this sys-
tenn is that the pupils receive
training in the domestic science
and manual training departments
two years earlier than under
the old system as these branches
are taken up as soon as the
pupil enters high school.
The people of this city are
proud of their schools and with
good reason. Ample school
buildings have been provided
second to none in any city of
this size. The course of study
is as complete as that of any
school and has been commended
by the best educators in the
state. The corps Of teachers
number twenty-six, have been
selected with great care and al
are we'll qualified to handle their
particular subjects. The sup
erintendent has proven himseli
TO be a thoroughly competent
instructor, a man of good execu-
tive ability and a good disciplin-
arian. the result of all this i:
seen in the work of the schools
and the reputation which the!
have acquired.

Present Board
Deserves Reelection
HAS GIVEN EXCELLENT ADMINISTRATION
Democrats Should See To 1t That John v. Shelton
Is ReznOmiRated

The present board of county
commissioners have made a rec
ord since their appointment
which they have good reason to
be proud of. By reason of the
new establishment of the cOun-
ty they had a much more difll-
cult task than usually falls to
lhe lot of county commission
ers. They not only had all of
the work of organizing the coun-
ty but they had to settle with
the old county, provide records
and record books for the officers,
furnish them with quarters and
see that the work was started
right.
1t would not have been strange
il the commissioners had made
a great many mistakes. The
only wonder is that they made
so few. They have shown marked
ability and have given us a bust
ness administration that could
not have been better or more
economical. Notwithstanding the
extraordinary expense of organ
izing and starting a new county
they cut the county and state tax
from i6 mills, the levy for the
year before, to IA mills.
If ever a set of officers were
deserving of a denomination and
a reelection the present commits
sioners are. Two of them are
sure of a denomination as they
have no opposition in their par
ty. The third, John w. Skel-
ton, was obliged to go east a few
weeks ago on account of his
health.
After much urging and at the
request Of leading business men
all over the county, regardless
of party lines, he had consented
to become a candidate to succeed
himself. After he went east re-
ports were circulated to the effect
that his health was much worse
and that he would not be able to
fll the Office and another name
was filed, not so much in oppO-
sitiOn to him, but because it was
thought he might not be able to
fiji the office. Since then the
most encouraging reports have
heen received in regard to Mr.
Skeletons health. He is not only
steadily improving but his ply
sician has announced that he
will be able to effect a permanent
cure.
Under the circumstances the
democrats should rally to Mr.
SkeltOn's support. Mr. Skeltor
feels that he has not been useC
right in this matter as when n
consented to become a candidate
he was assured that no on
would be nominated agains
him. He has written his friend
here. stating that his health i
greatly improved and that, al
though he will not be home be
fore the primaries he will be her
before the general election an
requesting his friends to wor
for him at the primaries.
There is no question but wha
he will be in condition to atten
to the duties of the Office for an
: other term and he certainly de
serves to be nominated and eI
ected. Ask for a Democrat
o ballot at the primaries Tuesda
; and put an X after the name
o John w. SHELTON and you will

commissioner as this county wi
ever have.

are operating in defiance of and
apparently without much fear of
the sherifr's office.
Neither is Mr.. Leaf entitled to
any great amount of credit for
the arrest of such bOotleggers as
have been caught and punished.
In a large part of the cases the
credit has been due to local pO-
lice officers or to private individ-
uals who have furnished the in
formation.
To Constable Long is due
practically all Of the credit for
the prosecutions which have
come from Plummer. The ar
rests at st. Joe, although made
iby the sheriff's office, we're upon
information sent from there by
private individuals and the city
police here are entitled to prac-
tically all of the credit for the
arrests made here except those
made through the efforts of pri-
vate detectives from the outside
who were paid by the county.
This leaves only the arrests
made up the branch line to be
credited to the sheriff and even
here he is obliged to divide the
honor as the records show that
the most important of these ar
lrests and convictions were
brought about through the eff
forts of private detectives paid
by The county.
The most important, and prac-
tically all of the arrests for boot
logging made by the sheriff's
Office, we're made in November
and December of last year. At
that time the violations of the
liquor law were so flagrant ard
common as to cause general
complaint from the better class
of citizens and the commission
ers authorized the sheriff to Sc
cure the services of detectives
and the Thiel Detective Agency
sent men here. For 9 days
services from Nov. % to Nov. 80
the county paid this agency
$79.O5 and from Dec. to Dec.
9 the county paid this agency
, $9O.85, making total of $4,000
, paid the agency.
During this same time l.. w
Wells of Boise, who was at the
head of the Anti-Saloon league
4 of the state, had detectives here
q at work and was paid $4,000 by
the county for their services
, These bills were presented tC
q the commissioners at the Janu-
q airy term and were allowed Jan
n uary fl and can be seen by any
n one doubling our statements.
It was due to the work o
these detectives that the arrests
were made and the evidence col
s lected which resulted in the plea
of guilty and the sentences 70
n which Mr. Leaf is claiminl
k credit.
2 The only great activity he ha
o shown, and with one or two ex
d ceptions the only convictions h
Is has to his credit, are those q
-e some laborer whom he ha
= caught with a bottle in his pOckC
Ie which he had for his own per
IN sonal use and who was not try
Is ing to sell it.
The fact that Mr.. Leaf ha
lt not been as active as could b
ty wished in trying to enforce th
VS. liquor laws is not to be Won
lg dered at when it is remembers

LIONEL BARRYMORE
 AT THE COLUMBIA

Lionel Barrymore is at the Colum- hia today in picture styled The UpheaveF' and the Metro people think 1t one of the finest productions they sent out this month. It is direct from a record run at the Symphony theater in Los Angeles. The Up- heavel deals with a story of a young fellow who inherited his fathers po- sition, that of political boss. He thought the old man square but found on his examination that he was q political crook of the worst type. The youngster beset by the party machine and with all kind of odds against him fought the grafters with the aid of the girl he loved and won out. It's q good story of the kind that Barrymore delights in and one that gives him excellent chance. The usual Figman comedy and the Flor ence Rose fashions reel, "A Day With Betty Young" is on for added meas ure.

 There are great possibilities for funny situations in q pawnshop-think of the number and kinds of people who have things to "hock." add to this, Chaplin as the man behind the coun- ter. and you will have a fair idea of the Imaginable situations, and to which Chaplin pulls some outside stuff that is screamingly funny.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.

Starting next Monday, Nov. 6, John J. Quigley will present the star come dian, Phil Ott, and his Musical Follies company. This company was built for laughing purposes alone, with a cast unusual in it's ability. and this attrac- ton is sure to amuse the show-g going public.
 The star, Phil Ott, is a real star, not of drama but of real comedy, and for the past ten years has been con- stantly adding to his popularity until now he is known from one end of the country to the other as clever, amusing comedian. Phil Ott's meth ods are those of the people. He has not attempted to present an artistic success nor has he attempted any Shakespeare revivals, but he has pro- duced a show for laughing purposes only.
 The supporting company is a. strong one, with pretty girls who can sing and dance. The principals include the well known artists, Hattie Quinn, AL len Bagby, Madeline Tilford. Eddie Healey, Dan McCaffery and George Hubbard, and 15 others.
