BOARD TAKES IMPORTANT
ACTION

Ballard Dunn, special representa-

sending out a statement by Fairfax
Harrison, chairman bf the railway
war board ,as evidence of the work
under way to relieve the coal shortage
in the northwest Chairman Harrison
says:
Extraordinary steps were taken by
the railroad war board here today to
insure the states in the northwest will
be supplied with coal during the COM
ing winter. In spite of the fact that
the railroads have been handling from
% to 80 per cent more coal in recent
months than during the correspond
ing months of 1916. A smaller proper
ton has been shipped from the Pitts
burg district to the lake ports than
last year In order to make certain
the coal supply of the northwest. The
order from the railroad war board of
today was directed to railroads en-
gagged in the lake carrying coal and
ore trade in the Pittsburg district,
urging them as matter of national
necessity to induce all coal operators
on their lines have contracts to sup
ply coal to the northwest via the lake
ports, to load during the remainder
of the season at least SO per cent of
their daily supply of coal for such
ports there, to be transported to the
northwest. This is. necessary in or
der to remove all uncertainty concern
ing the supply of coal in the north

A significant part of Prosecuting At

was the segregation of the 25 Latah
county prisoners into three groups. In
the first group we're included Miles
Anthony, G. S. Marhow, Charles Hem
derson, T. e. Hawkins, w. R. Knipe,
H. E. Herd and Charles Clifford.
These are known to be leaders and
organizers.
The remaining 18 are divided into
two groups-Americans and foreigners.
The Americans are Rias Dean, Jas.

From Many Lands
The foreigners are Henry Geisler,
Carl w. Sontag, H. Lubbert, Thomas
O'Connor, Steve Pollich, Sam Pappas,

Finlanders, Swedes, Norwegians, Eng

1t is the understanding that the
case of the foreigners is to be taken
up with the department of immigra-

view to deporting them on the grounds
of anarchy, but w. j. Mcconnell, the
inspector for Idaho, refused to discuss
this phase of the question.

belligerent authors will reply TO the
quotations from Erasmus, Bayle and

You say: But Justice! What can

it?" Alas. dear writers. justice is n
heavenly goddess. But she wears, as
you know. a band across her eyes.
Among the eminent English critics.
Mr.. William Archer, who has most
attacked me, understands our lang
uage. He is. therefore. doubtlessly
familiar with our famous poet Wes-
sells clever little satire: The Smith
and the Baker" which corresponds to
the Polish-Jewish story of the "Shoe-
maker from Kilikow." 1t deals with n
young. able-bodied /, blacksmith (the
only one in the Will st), who in Il fit
of passion committed murder and who.
according to the law as conceived by
mortals, should be hung therefor. Four
or five of his fellow citizens interceded
in his behalf, however The Judge
objects:
Consider, dear sirs, that n life has
been taken. II must be redeemed by
another life"
The spokesman for the group of fell
low citizens replies:
ave have in our village a feeble
baker who will at all events by death
soon be carried off. May we not hang
the old baker instead of the young,
useful smith? Justice would reign. in
any event, since a life would pay for
the life that has been taken"

agrees:

l do not see why this should not be
possible. Even il Germany for the
time being holds a certain amount of
territory she is weak economically,
and would be obliged TO pay for the
cessation of the British blockade.
Each Side Must Yield
Incidentally ii seems to me that in
regard to the peace program the allies
were n trifle hasty in deciding every
thing at the beginning OF the war.
While, with not very ingratiating can
