AUTO DRIVER PAYS
FOR FATAL ACCIDENT
CLARENCE TOWNE PAYS HOSPI-
tai, FUNERAL AND DIR. BILLS
OF MRS. PETERSON

Some errors were made in report
ing the condition Of Frank Peterson
whose tale of woe, due to financia
straits and the recent death of his
wife, who was struck by an automo.
bile and died from the injuries re-
ceived, in The Star -Mirrodp of Mon
day. Mr.. Peterson speaks broken
English and it is difficult to get his
exact meaning in some sentences. He
was understood to say that he had
sold his cows and borrowed money to
buy feed for the remaining COW, in
order to pay the doctor and hospital
bills and funeral expenses. He says
today that he would have to do this,
if he paid the expenses.
The matter has been amicably ad-
justed by the payment by Clarence
Towne, whose car struck Mrs. Peter
son, of the hospital, doctor and funer-
al expenses, amounting to $205. Mr.
Peterson asked that the this correc-
tion be made. He said:
''I was never treated better in my
life than by Dr.. Gritman, Mr.. Grice,
the undertaken, and Mr.. Whittier, of
the Moscow State Bank. l had not
paid these expenses. Mr.. Grice told
me 1 could have as long a time as l
needed DR.. Gritman was very kind
and Mr.. Whittier helped me out when
/ had to have help. The matter is
all settled now and I will not have to
sell my cows. / have to raise money
for interest on my mortgage but /
can get along now. Many people
have been very kind to me-"
Mr.. Towne made the settlement
voluntarily, paying to Mr.. Peterson
the full amount that the latter asked,
without any quibbling or controversy.
Mr.. Peterson fixed the amount of ex-
penses at the sum given and it was
paid. The accident is a regretable
one and mo one regrets it more than
Mr.. Towne, although those acquainted
with the facts in the case declare no
blame attached to him.

JAPAN MIGHT BUY
THE PHILIPPINES
SOLUTION OF JAPAN'S POPULA-
TION PROBLEM OFFERED
BY JAPANESE PAPER

TOKYO Correspondence of The
Associated Press. 1.-THE suggestion
that Japan purchase the Philippine
islands from the United States and
the Dutch East Indies from Holland
as means of solving the problem of
Japan's ever growing population is
made by writer in the Herald of
Asia, conservative Japanese weekly
journal. The writer contends Japan
is bound to expand territorially as she
is expanding in population. Pointing
out that the population has more than
doubled in the last fifty years, being
now over 57,OOO,O0C He estimated
that at the same rate of increase the
population will in another fifty years
have reached 114.000,000.
It is not too much to hope, he
argues, that "some day justice and
destiny will decide that all the islands
on this side of the Pacific, north of
the equator, will come under the
jurisdiction of Japan" He asks the
question whether America intends to
keep out Japanese emigrants and still
hold the Philippines permanently If
not, why should she not some day sell
them to Japan? He adds: Having
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1919-09-09

closed her doors to the Japanese, this
would be a gracious act on her part
and one that would be but naturally
expected from country boasting of
so much philanthropy and Christian
altruism."
AS for the Dutch East Indies the
article contends the inhabitants are
more akin to the Japanese than to
Holland and that Japan could ad-
minister the islands with greater
benefit on the whole to the people
and to herself than could Holland
which, moreover, is a small country,
untroubled with surplus population.
1t is pointed out also that the
Dutch East Indies form the southern
line of Japan's defences and that more
than once the independence of these
Islands has made them a menace to
her safety.
After remarking that the Japanese
do not like to settle in cold climates
like Hokkaido or Siberia, the writer
concludes: Certainly it would be
better to let Japan have them than to
let them pass into other hands, con-
tingency that Japan could not con-
template. There was no surprise when |
America purchased the Danish West |
indies. There should be no surprise
f Japan should purchase the Dutch |
East Indies. Were Japan once in
of the Sunda straits she |
could slacken her naval program and
eel at ease both as to defences and
population for all time to come"

FOOD CONDITIONS

LIFTING OF BLOCKADE GIVES
GERMANS A CHANCE TO
SECURE MORE FOOD

COBLENZ. - Correspondence OF
The Associated Press. Living con-
ditions in the interior of Germany are
rapidly adjusting themselves as a re
suit of the lifting of the blockade
However, according to the German
Newspapers, it may be years before
food prices become normal or virtual
ly the same as before the war. Some
German editorial writer's, complaining
of the high prices at the present time
and during the war, contend with
bitterness that the low cost of living
enjoyed by Germany for so many
years is gone forever
AS an indication of improvement in
the food situation in one German city
the Kolonialwaren Zeitung of Leip-
zig says:
"Profiteering trade prices plainly
show falling off, since the lifting of
the blockade. The overcharges on
pork have long since been removed
and the fat shortage has ceased. To
be sure the demand for fresh meat
is as great now as before in conse-
quence of the cessation of domestic
This. need, however, is
covered in the main by the restora-
zion. Everywhere one finds, in the
eating places, beef, veal and pork
meat without limit and at reasonable
prices. One can once more eat at
noon in Cologne for 4.50 marks and
n wine restaurant for $50 marks;
it apears as if conditions
are coming, which are acceptable"

CARDINAL MERCER
REACHES NEW YORK
REAL HERO OF BELGIUM is
GUEST OF THE PEOPLE OF
THE UNITED STAES

NEW YORK. = (By Associated
Press. cardinal Mercier, primate OF
Belgium, will reach New Y York today
aboard the naval transport Northern
Pacific. He will be met down the
bay by a committee headed by Arch
! Bishop Patrick j. Hayes.
Belgium's beloved spiritual prince,
guardian of the welfare of 100000
Roman Catholics in the little kingdom
whose first fierce resistance stayed
the German avalanche, Cardinal Des-
ideratus Mepcier, was born on Novem-
Der 22, 1851, in Bralne d'Alleud, a
village only few miles from famous
Waterloo.
Typical of the heroism of King AL
berts countrymen, this physically
frail but Intellectually powerful pre-
late of the church stirred the whole
world to admiration of his courage
when, on the first war Christmas, in
1914, with Germans everywhere in
Belgium, he issued his famous Pastor
al letter, denouncing the invader and
urging his people to resist in these
words:
Germany has violated her. oath.
We can neither number our dead nor
compute the measure of our ruins.
Occupied provinces are not conquered
provinces. The authority of the in
vader is no lawful authority. There
fore, in soul and in conscience you
owe it neither respect, attachment
nor obedience"
Later in protesting against the de-
portation of Belgiums for forced labor
he threatened Germany with "the
reprobation of the civilized world, the
Judgment of history and the chastise-
ment of God"
Fifteen thousand copies of the Card
nails letter were seized and destroy
I'd the printer was arrested and fined
and the brave priest was kept a
prisoner in his palace by order of /
General Won Bissing until retrac-
ion of the pastoral had been signed"
The Cardinal not only refused to re-
ract his statements but became even
more defiant.
He was given his liberty finally and
ontinued to use his voice and pen
gainst the mailed fist" in crystal
zing world opinion against the Cent
al Powers. All during the war, how
yer, he was subjected to petty perse-
utions and his secretary and other
ides were thrown into Jail. He went
trough the bombardments of Ant
7erp and Malines and braved the
eriIs of the common soldier.

MARSHAL FOCH IS
TAKING A HOLIDAY
GREAT FRENCH GENERAL EN-
JOYING A REST AT COUNTRY
ESTATE IN FRANCE

PARIS.--( Correspondence of The
Associated Press Marshal Foch is
enjoying the first holiday he has had
in five years. On his estate at Nor
laix, near Brest, the Generalissimo of
the allied armies is living the simple
life, dressed in loose tweeds and wear
ing a cap, only retaining his leather
leggings as a reminder of his uni
form.
The Marshal is great lover of
hunting and partridges are thick in
the woods of Brittany But the
Marshal disconsolately watches them
flutter about with impunity. 1t will
not be open season for hunting in
France until September Is. 1t was
open season for the enemy for five
years and the Commander-in- Chief of
the Allied armies never missed day
Some newspapers are asking that an
exception be made in favor of Foch,
one Of them adding naively that Gas
he has rendered a slight service to
his country, in riddlng it of the Ger
mans he might be allowed to deprive
its woods of few partridges."
When it became known that Foch
was going to Morlaix, the Mayor and
city councillors at once made elabor-
ate plans for the reception. They as
sembled at the house of the Mayor
and commenced marching down to the
station when some cne remarked that
,he hour at which the train was due
lad passed.
1T matters not" said the Mayor,
that BreSt train is never on time"
They arrived at the station, how
ver, to find that the train actually

minutes. For once it had been on

ed and desecrated in the war The
prelate's distinguished service for
Belgium throughout the war has been
told in frequent news dispatches. Less
is publicly known of his early record
as a churchman.
The Cardinal studied at st. Rom
bouts College, Malines, and the dio-
cesar seminary in the same place.
He was ordained to the priesthood
April 4, 1874, entered the seminary
at Malines in 1877 as professor of
philosophy after taking course in
theology at the University of Louvain
and five years later was called to the
university as professor of Thomistic
or liberal philosophy. In 1886 Pope
Leo XIII appointed him a domestic
prelate, with the title of Monsignor.
He comes of distinguished relig
ious family other members of which
have won honors in the church. One
uncle, the Rt. Rev. Adrian Croquet,
born in 1918, was pioneer mission
ary among the Indians for thirty
eight years in the Canadian North
west. He died in Belgium in 1902 and
it is the Cardinals wish to visit the
scene of his uncle's labors.
Cardinal Mercier's visit to the
United States is largely the result of
opportunities from all sections of the
country. AS President Wilson is
absent from Washington the Cardinal
will pay his first respects to Cardinal
Gibbons in Baltimore and visit the
White House later in his tour. Ac-
cording to present plans the noted
Belgian prelate's itinerary will in
elude, besides the cities mentioned,
Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Scranton,
Albany, Boston, Providence, Hartford,
Springfield, Mass, Detroit, Cincinnati,
ST. Louis and Chicago.

Oyersmith Sells Farm.

A. H. Oversmith has sold his farm
of 100 acres four miles west of town

ASK COMMISSIONERS
FOR LOW ROAD LEVY
COUNTY BOARD REQUESTED TC
MAKE ROAD LEVY FOR COUN-
TY LOW THIS YEAR

A delegation of men from the vari
Gus highway districts of Latah county,
met with the board of county commits :
sioners Monday to urge that the
general road levy for the county be
held as low as possible this year. The
idea is that the road or highway
districts will fix their own levy and
all of the money thus raised will be
used inside the district, while if raised
on levy by the county commission
ers, 25 per cent goes into the general
fund and will be used outside the dis-I
trict which pays it. AS the county|
has been divided into eight highwayt
districts and two more are expected
to be formed, thus taking in all off
the territory in the county, each dis4I
trict naturally wants to spend its ownrI
money in its own district. Il
Those who attended the meetinglI
were Art. Linehan and Ed. Smolt, F
Genesee highway dis-r
trict; c. J. Orland, attorney for Thorn,
Creek district; Scott Ogden, attorneyr
for Moscow, Bovill and Deary dis
tricts; j. D. Morrissey and John Len
hard, of the Princeton Harvard dis
trict; G. G. White, of Troy and At
Decker of Potlatch.
The commissioners promised to hold
the county levy down to the lowest
amount necessary to pay for main
5enance and bridge work in the county !

What Historians Say About
the Jury System as to the
Facts Concerning Origin

Many writer's of authority. accord
ing to Canon Stubs, have maintained
that the jury system is indigenous to
England, some deriving it from Celtic
tradition, based on the principles of
Roman law, and adopted by Anglo
SaXons and NOrmans from the peO-
pies they had conquered. Others have
regarded it as a product of the legal
genius of the Anglo Saxon, of which
Alfred is the mythical impersonation.
or as derived by that nation from the
customs of primitive Germany, or from
their Intercourse with the Danes. Nor.
even when 1t is admitted that the syS-
TEN of recognition was introduced
from Normandy, have legal writer's
agreed as to the source from which the
Normans themselves derived it. One
scholar maintains that it was brought
by the Norsemen from Scandinavia;
another that it was derived from the
process of the canon law; another that
it was developed on Gallic soil from
Roman principles; another that it
came from Asia through the cruSades.
The true answer seems to he that the
forms of trial resembling the jury
system are to be found in the primitive
institutions of all Enthusiastically
Eagle.
