WOULD
HIGHWAY
BOARD
Lewiston Man Writes Cover
nor on Advisability of Re-
tanning Personnel.

As the time approaches for the ex-
piration of the commission Of e. A.
Van Sicklin of Weiser, as a member
of the state highway board of commits
sioners, and in view of the fact that
there is considerable stir on the part
of different sections to take on this
important office, J. L. Perkins Of Lew
iston, president Of the North and South
Idaho State Highway association, has
addressed communication to Cover
nor Alexander, to the effect that in
his opinion it would be unwise to
change the personnel of the state high
way commission. President Perkins
letter is as follows:
81 believe that the people Of Idaho
have cause for congratulation by rea-
| son Of the substantial progress in high
way work which has been made in the
last two years. 1t seems to me that
this progress is attributable mainly to
three causes:
Legislature Acted Wisely.
"First-The legislature wisely made
general appropriations instead of at
tempting to appropriate for specific
| projects in advance of investigation,
and the legislature by providing for
good roads districts insured local in
terest and cooperation in the gen
eral work.
"Second-The executive performed its
function creditably in the selection of
board of highway commissioners
composed of competent, capable and
disinterested men, and
"Third-The highway commission
has in the main ignored political and
sectional considerations, and has at.
/ fnI m a ifg Il In, hrn Il
manner and effective fashion. In
consequence, trunk line highway
system has been projected and par.
TALLY built which will develop the
whole state, and there is hardly com
munty in the state which has not been
quickened and stimulated under the
construction of good roads.
Hard to Get Northern Man.
I'm such a system as ours is. the

Friday June lst was the day
named to open the bids on the
new high school building. The
county and city school board met
in Superintendent E. Jeffrey
Travis Office and all the bids
submitted were opened and can
yassed. There were only three
bidders. viz. Lockett Bros, CAL

Boston. Marion. KY, S2s. 200. 90;
Sherrill.Russell Lumber Co.,
Paducah, KY, S32, 7l7.0O. The
board rejected all these bids as
the amount Of money in hand
does not justify so extensive a
building. Those bids did not in
c'ude the furnace and heating
apparatus or the lighting fXtures
but DID include the concealed
wiring, oil Of which is to be in

given to the contractors. was the

MUST REMAIN IN
JAIL DURING WAR
German Who Talked Too Much
Fails To Secure His
Freedom.

Catlettsburg. KY. June 6. k
P. Hentschel. native Of Germany
who shortly after the declaration
of war against Germany was in
termed in the Jail here on orders
of United States Attorney
Slattery because Of a telegram
sent by Hen!schel to the Secre-
tary of War, in which alleged
hostile and defamatory refer
ences were made to President
Wilson, through his attorney.
J filed a petition for a writ Of
habeas corpus, setting out that
he was being wrongfully and
without authority held in custody
by the Jaller of Boyd county and
United States Marshal Ford.
ihe Jailer and the United
States Marshal filed a response,
stating that Hentschel was held
under orders of the President OF
the United States, acting through
District Attorney Slattery. The
Hon. A. M. ]. Cochran, Judge
of the Federal court, Immediately
issued the habeas corpus and
had Hentschel brought into
court.
The attorney for Hentsches
questionedthe right or authority
of the President under the Con-
stitution, to issue a proclamation
which would deny the right Of
anyone within the United States
: to a trial by jury before being
deprived of his liberty.
, Judge Cochran denied the
r writ of habeas corpus and re-
manded the prisoner to Jail. ln
o his opinion he stated that the
9 right and authority of the Presi.
dent to issue the proclamation
dealing with alien enemies was
plain and the power to make
provision for the conduct and
y custody Of suoh aliens in time OF
war was necessarily inherent in
the President as an att ibute OF
II sovereignty, and that the courts
f were without jurisdiction o,
II right TO interfere with the
e President in the exercise os lis
g power.
d Hentschel will remain interned

dent should release him.

We have been appointed on
the County Board Of National

these arduous duties with out
hope Of compensation. We ex-
pect to work till this terrible war
is over let it be soon or late We
must all work together if we
win, we can not all fight; but we
can all work. The man who
does not do some needful work
is worthless and a common
nuisance.
We should begin to prepare
for next years work and not
wait as many Of US have this
year and find ourselves unpre.
pared to do our best.
Our principal work will be to
produce food for our selves. our
soldiers. and our allies. The
question Of seed for next year il
an important one. This year
many of us have not the needed
seed t. plant our crops. The
wise man looks ahead and pre-.
pares for the future. We Car
produce most all the seed w
will need for planting next year
but we must begin now if W,
would have them when we neeC
them.
Most all our garden seed can be pre-
duced and cared for here as well a
any where else. We pay thousands o
dollars each year TO the seed houses o
the country and get no better see
tran we can hav, here. We are no
pessimists and would not go back t
the olded days; but some Of the thing
our fathers did II would pay us to DO.
We well remember when our mother
saved their garden seed and tied them
little bags with the name written o
each one. They carefully kept thel
and II they happened to have neiphbc
who was not so fortunate they woul
divide with them.
There are many people who do nC
know how to produce beet and cabHac
seeds. The beet and cabbage tha
grow this year must be kept throug
the winter. Bury them in the erour
and next spring take them up ~
plant them. they will gs,w and maxi

census ever taken in the United

remains but to select the men
who are to 60 to the front.
/ From virtually every state
reass.ring messages came to-
night to Brig. General Crowder
provost marshal-general, federal
supervising officer, of the great
enterprise. While no complete
returns from any state were
transmitted up to a late hour,
the governors were unanimous in
reporting that complete quiet
had prevailen throughout the
day, and that a full registration
was indicated.
In some precincts the late
comers forced officials to keep
the polls open until long after
the 8 p. N. closing hour set ir
the regulations. General Crow.
der authorized them to keep oper
as long as men wished to enrol

Should Reach Agreement

Now that the city and county of- ficials have come to some agreement on the health situation, for the time being, at least it occurs to me that it is an opportune time for he two so- licitors of the county to get together and reach some agreement as to their differences" said Frank Stewart. "I care nothing for the differences that may exist between Solicitor Black and Solicitor Tate. but do care as to the expenditure of public money either of the state or county At the present time there are on the pay rolls of the state and county, two solicitors and five assistant solicitors. seven in all Ac- cording to county officials, three or four solicitors are plenty to take care of the criminal cases. including those tried in municipal court. It seems tc me that the present condition is a will full waste of public money and unless something is done to remedy conditions smoe one, at some time. is going tc be held responsible"
