Pleads GUILTY TO
GOLDEN RULE THEFT
Ernest Dyer, Moscow Youth Brought
70 Justice After Extradition
Papers Had Been Refused

rho following story, taken from
=, co,fax Palouser, will be of in
.o.oot to Pullman people, being the
final chapter in the burglarizing of
The Golden Rule store at this place
last year.
"wbat is hoped to be the final
obonter in the life of crime of Ernest
nyer. 10 years of age, eliminated
Monday morning, when the youth
uas sentenced by Judge r. l.. Me-
Croskey to a term of from one to
three wears in the state reformatory
at Monroe, after he had pleaded
euity to the charge of burglary in
tho second degree. The young man
was captured in Spokane Saturday
evening by the police of that city
when he alighted from train from
Moscow the Spokane police having
been notified by Deputy Sheriff Cole
tn be on the lookout. He was broas; :
to Colfax and pleaded guilty before
Justice |. B. Doolttle of having been
implicated in the robbery of the
Golden Rule store at Pullman sew
eral months ago. Justice Doolittle
bound the man over to the superior
court and on Monday he made a Tim
liar plea before Judge McCro8kev,
who imposed sentence.
What is thought to have been
Dyers first offense occurred in De-
cember 1915, when he was arrested
at the local O.-W. r. & n. depot by
Deputy Sheriff Williams on a charge
OF bootlegging. The boy had in his
possession at the time several quarts
Of whiskey and was in the act Gf
boarding a train for Moscow when
arrested. He pleaded guilty to the
charge and served a term in the
county Jail. He returned to Moscow
and shortly afterward a warran. was
issued by Latah county authorities
charging Dyer with burglarizing a
Moscow cafe. The man was arrest
ed BY Whitman county authoritits
and turned over to the sheriff at
Moscow. Dyer pleaded guilty 20 the
charge. but Jddg" Steele of the Idaho
district court placed the boy under
probation for period of five years
and he was released.
During the course of Dyer's prose
eutlon on the Idaho charge Sheriff
cole secured informa alton tending to

burglary of the Golden Rule store at

All Draft Exemptions Appealed

Under a new ruling issued
by the Provost Marshal, Gen.
Crowder, at Washington, all ex-
emptions allowed by the local ex-
emption board, must be appeal
ed to the state exemption board
at Phoenix for a final review.
So many claims for exemptions
were made on account of depen-
pendants all over the country
that it was deemed best to have
all the cases go before the state
board to be certain that no unfair
advantage has been taken of the
rule allowing exemptions for this
cause. The county attorneys are
the governments representatives
in all these appeals.

Claims Will Be Protected.

Congress has passed a bill,
which has been signed by the
President, relieving owners of
mining claims from the provi-
sions of the law requiring at
least 500 to be expended each
year in development work on
their claims, where the owner
has enlisted in the army or
navy, and no work will have to
be done during all the time of
his military service, nor for six
months after he has been muster
ed out, and no claim will be can
celled for such cause. The
claimant in order to get the
benefit of this order shall file a
notice in the office where the To-
cation notice or certificate has
been recorded before the expira-
ton of the assessment, year he is
mustered into service, giving
notice of his enlistment in the
military service of the United
States and of his desire to hold
the claim under this resolution.
A similar resolution has been
passed governing residence up
on homesteads, or other govern
ment filings where a specified
amount of labor must be per-
formed each year to perfect title.

Readjusted County Quotas.

The rank injustice perpetrated
upon Arizona by the war census
which raised its population over
fifty per cent, has made it neces-
sary for the state board to re-
adjust the apportionment of men
required from each county. Un-
der the original apportionment
several counties where there is a
large foreign element were asked
to furnish more men than there
were eligibles on the registration.
In order to correct the injustice
Col. Breen took the matter up
with the authorities at Washing
ton, but they refused to make
any changes, and the only re-
course left was to made a state
readjustment of the quotas. The
plan suggested in our last issue
as the correct method for the ma
tion to make the draft equitable
was adopted by the state authori-
ties. All alien registrations were
eliminated from the list of regis
trations, and from the total re-
naming the apportionment was
made, reducing the quotas very
materially in two or three coun-
ties, and putting a small increase
on all the others. Navajo coun-
tvs original number was seven
ty-seven men, but under the new
alignment she will be called upon
to furnish ninety-nine. To get
this additional number it will pro-
badly be necessary to call at least
200 more numbers to appear be-
fore the draft board at Holbrook.

Holbrook Stockyards Burn.

A fire probably starting from
sparks from a passing engine set
fire to the stockyards at Holbrook
Wednesday evening, and before
it was extinguished had Destroy
ed a greater portion of the prop
erty. The engine crew on No.
Z rendered valuable assistance in
subduing the flames by throwing
water and steam from their
engine.

Wed or Fight.

A Phoenix girl has the correct
idea of raising an army for Uncle
Sam. She thinks the govern
ment should draft every bach
elor in the country, and put him
in the trenches so he would ap-
preciate the beauties of a quiet
home. The Winslow Mail thinks
that is a good scheme, and we
can hand in the names of a boiler
foreman at the shops, a couple
of engineers, a dozen fireman,
the same number of brakemen,
and three or four conductors.
The girls must remember, how
ever, that these fellows are all
accustomed to a quiet, peaceful
life, and if compelled to choose
between the army and getting
married, they might decide to go
in the trenches.

Claiming Exemptions.

It is most remarkable the ap-
parent surprise of the war coun-
Gil in Washington over the large
percentage of claims for eXem.
tion being filed by the men who
were drawn under the selective
draft. 1t is condition that
might naturally have been ex-
pected, when it is remembered
the draft included men between
the ages of Fl and 80. Without
having any actual figures at
hand it is safe to assume that a
large majority Of the men drawn
are married, and probably have
one or more little children de-
pendent on them for their daily
bread. 1t is the early years of
married life that brings home to
the young man the struggle that
lays before him to keep the little
home in any degree of comfort
except in few isolated cases
where the parents of the young
man, or the parents of the wife,
are financially able to come to
come to his assistance-and they
are not so situated financially
that they can leave their family
TO sustain themselves while the
bread winner is away at war.
1t is the early married life when
the struggle is the hardest, when
the babies are sure to come that
add the burdens as we'll as add
to the joys of the little home,
when the earning capacity of the
husband has not increased in
proportion to his added response
bilities. Then there is another
large class of men drawn, who
are single, not because they
would not like to marry the girl
of their dreams, but filial duty
demands they give of their sub
stance to add to the comfort of
their parents, or have the re-
sponsibility of caring for the
widowed mother. These are not
slackers when they ask for ex-
emption. Their daily life is a
Spartan heroism that denies to
them larger life to which they
are entitled that comforts shall
be supplied to the one that gave
them birth.

Dignity Your Job.

A few days ago one Hayward,
who is supposed to be the head
of the l. w. w. organization,
gave out a statement in which
he referred to his following as
the roughnecks of the world, "
and herein is the secret of the
discomfort being spread broad
cast over the country. Because
a man makes his living by the
sweat of his brow, as a farmer,
miner, a railroad man, or in
any of the trades and callings. is
no indication whatever that he is
a 'roughneck," and honest
laboring men everywhere resent
the term as applied to them. A
man who does not take a Just
pride in his trade or calling is a
mlstit in society. This busy
world is a great piece of ma
chinery, and every one is a part
in the ensemble; the section man
is just as essential as the super
intendent of the road; the brick
mason is just as necessary as the
architect; and it is the duty of
each one to take a pride in his
job, giving the best that is in
him at all times, ever trying to
excel in his handiwork, and
proud of his achievements.
Compel respect for your calling
by yourself dignifying your job.
An expert accountant was never
a shiftless book-keeper, decrying
his menial occupation during his
idle hours. He was proud of his
occupation, and took an ambitious
pride in eXcelling in his work.
The section man who is ambitious
to lay a rail or ballast piece of
track to the highest point of per-
fection has just as much reason
to be proud of his calling as if he
was the president of the road,
and he won't be a section man
long, because there will be places
for him higher up. All honest
employment is honorable. 1t is
only the snob who refuses to rub
elbows with a grimy-faced work
er clad in his greasy overalls;
and it is only the shiftless and
indolent worker who would be-
little his own occupation, and be-
mean himself with the applica-
tion of "roughneck." Skilled
mechanics are just as much pro
fessors in their lines as the doc
tors, lawyers and college instruc-
tors; they are just as essential to
the world as the merchant, the
banker and the manufacturer.
Extoll your trade or occupation
whatever it may be, and let the
measure of your pride in your
calling be bounded only by the
perfection of your efficiency as
workman. The "roughneck" of
society is the indolent loafer and
deadbeat who thinks the world
owes him a living without toll,
who feels he is degrading him
self by honest work.
