RULING rs ISSUED ON
COUNTY OFFICE HOURS

Every county official in Idaho must
keep his or her office open to transact
public business from 9 O'Clock in the
morning to O'Clock in the afternoon.
This is the ruling of Attorney General
Black, given in response to an inquir-
ING county official. Because of the
change in time the officials wanted to
open an hour earlier and close an hour
earlier. it is also held that state
officials cannot change their hours of
work because the law specifically sets
the time from in the morning to 5
in the evening. State and county Of
ficials may only close their offices on
legal holidays set aside by the law or
proclamation of the governor.

w. II. Eller, sheriff of Idaho county

letter on the controversy between him
and John Hartman, former deputy sher-

editor Free Press,

to set out the reasons for his discharge
from the sheriff s office.

EXPENSES ONLY NOMINAL

As to the expense of running, the
sheriff S office during the present ad-
ministration is being run as economical
.ly as during any former administration
and if any one is sufficiently inter
ested to take the trouble of looking up
the records and make comparisons, they
will find by such comparison, and tax
ing into consideration the amount of
work performed by this office, that
the office is being handled as economi-
cally as is consistent with tie prompt
and efficient service which is demand
ed by the public.
at must be borne in mind that con
ditions today are vastly different to
what they were twenty or twenty five
years ago, when Mr.. Hartman was dep
utv sheriff under Mr.. Williams, and the
old records dating back to that time
fail to disclose where Mr.. Hartman
even at that early date, exhibited any
exceptional ability.

WHY HARTMAN WAS FIRED

LAS every subject of controversy is
open to discussion | deem it advisable
to make statement as to what the
actual facts were which led to the dis
charge of Mr.. Hartman.
"Mr Hartman was appointed deputy
sheriff by me at the beginning of my
term OF office, and during the nine
months he served as deputy sheriff, 1
found him to be wholly incompetent in
nearly every respect to perform salts
factorily the duties required of him as
deputy sheriff, and it was owing TO his
incompetency that made it necessary
for me to dispense with his services.

inspired solely by a childish feeling of
injured dignity. 1t seems strange that

was deputy sheriff, he made no comment
or complaint on the expense of the of

1t is complained that a good many

peddle articles about the streets of
eastern cities. People who have no.

War Baker has issued a statement
asking the people to demonstrate with
veterans who peddie on the streets,

There has been a strong feeling
that soldiers uniform ought not
to be used for any commercial pur-
pose. If soldiers attempt to wear
their uniform to help them do bust

service unpopular. So this practice
detracts from the dignity and honor
in which the army is held.
Mr.. Baker contends that peddling
is "dead-end" employment-that is,

right. Business men can not be ia

MADE.uNMADE BY MILrARIsM

Clearer than any other impression
they give, clearer than that impress
sion derived from previous sources,
is the picture General Ludendorff's
articles in The journal paint of the
German empire in the hour of its
ruin by the military system which
gave it birth.
Building, as they thought, better
than Bismarck. the German war party
brought on the conflict of 1914.
Craftsmanship abdicated to it, Where
the chancellor doubted. the generals
were sure. Even when Great Britain
had falsified their predictions by arm
ing, even when the Somme battles
had had in Germany an effect that
the entente had hardly dared hope,
the war experts were as confidently
ready with new plans.
with cold-blooded calculation into
which considerations of humanity and
law never intruded they ordered the
U-boat war. They knew it would
bring in the United States, but they
looked to see the sinkings, as Luden-
dorff writes. have a decisive effect
within twelve months-that is to say,
before America could throw her new
formations into the scale They
were wrong, and failure was fatal.
Not a world power but downfall was
the result.
The war staff left moral considera-
tons out of its arithmetic and moral
considerations proved supreme even
over militarism. Created by military
experts, the German empire was final
ly destroyed by military experts, of
which Ludendorff was chief. His own
story reveals all, though he often
passes the blame to the chancellor
and the parliament.

KING AND KICKER.

One of the finest things about the
true American is that he measures
man by his character and works in
stead of by his title; taking no stock
in titles and helping to crush autoe-
racy, he recognizes democracy and
patriotism whenever and by whomso-
ever exhibited.
There are kings and kings, Not all
rulers by heredity deserve denuncia-
ton; nor are all nations with king
doms vicious. Great Britain retains
a king, hut the worst than can he said
about him is that he is rather a SUI
perfluous official in nation, where
democracy really prevails to a great
extent.
There has never been general de-
sire in England, even among the dem
ocrats, to eliminate the king.
And there is King Albert of Bel
GUM, who is booked for a tour
through this land to learn more Of
the ways of democracy and its insti-
tutions, that he may make his country
better. Never was there a more UNI
assuming or truer man than this king
who stood for right at the risk of his
crown and of the overpowered coun-
try. But in a city that has popula-
ton which chose to elevate to office
a congressman who was for debasing
America rather than uphold the
country, is a poser who has made
himself ridiculous by scornful action
toward the Belgian ruler simply be-
cause he is a king.
Daniel .Hoan. socialist mayor OF Mil
wau5ee, where Americanism is at n
discount, has declined to give an Off
cal invitation to the representative of
Belgium, which courtesy the Ameri-
can state department asked of the
mayors of Albuquerque and other
cities which the guest will visit after
seeing the democratic president who
invited him to come to this country.
Instead of being decent this socialist
uttered a TRADE against kings in gen.
eral. Daniel Hoan is not a real Am
erican in spirit. His record is one of
the most contemplate in connection
with this war. In March, 1918, while
the Huns were preparing to launch
their super-drive, he was removed
from the Craftsmanship of the Mil
waukee Council of National Defense
on account of his standing on a plat
form regarded as unfriendly to our
war efforts. In January of this year
n committee of army officers asked
him to withdraw from a reception
committee for returned soldiers by
reason of his having presided at a
mass meeting of socialists which in
dorsed Victor Berger and others con-
victed of violation of the espionage
law. On his refusal to withdraw he
was jeered from the platform when
he attempted to speak. Last May he
refused the request of delegation
from the American Legion to prevent
an I. w. w. meeting.
Thus while King Albert was man
fully fighting for democracy, camou-
flaged democrats like Hoan were
showing friendship for a policy that
would have allowed kaiserism to win
the war.

At a meeting of the Public Build
ings Committee held Friday evening
the matter Of erecting public band

Of the Maysville Boys Band was
again brought up and thoroughly dis
cussed.
Some members were in favor OF
complying with the recommendations
of the managing committee Of the
band and erecting permanent stand
with basement and roof which will
cost probably $500 while others were
opposed to the expenditure Of such a
sum of money and thought a stand
could be erected that would serve the
purpose for probably 5000. Others
favored the building Of a stand on
wheels similar to carnival wagons
which could be moved from one sec
ton of the city to another.
After considerable discussion, 1t
was finally decided to have Miss En-
ma williams, local architect, draw
plans for the permanent stand and
then to ask for bids for same and have
it erected in the best of style so as to
last indefinitely.

CARNIVAL COMPANY SUED

Nike Brown and Sherman Arm File
Suit Against william Maus and

Collect Purchase Price OF
Electric Concert Organ.

In the Mason Circuit Court Satur-
day afternoon Mike Brown and Sher-
man Arm, who owned and operated
the Princess Skating Rink, filed suit
against William Maus and the Maus
Carnival Company asking judgment
for $3.50 alleged to be due and owing to
the plaintiffs from the defendants for
a certain musical instrument common
ly known as concert organ which
was sold and delivered to the plaintiffs
by the defendants and for the further
sum Of 1884 expended by the plain
tiffs at the special instance and direc-
tion of the defendants in having the in
strument tuned.
The instrument in litigation here
was the large electric concert organ
which was used for quite while in
the Princess Skating Rink. 1t was sold
only short while ago by the owners
of the old Princess Rink to the Carni-
val Company.
In their prayer the plaintiffs ask
for judgment against the defendant for
s46S.54 with interest from May 1st,
1919, and costs and an attachment on
the defendants property now in this
county. 1t is understood the attach
ment was served on an automobile be-
