The Legion bazaar that opened last night at the Elks club and will contin, ue for four more nights, was attended by hundreds of people. The bazaar was thronged with merrymakers from the time the doors opened until they were closed at late hour. The crowds gathered about the numerous booths joining in the revels on all sides. Wearied of one attraction there has al- ways another close at hand.
 The height of the excitement, per haps, was reached in "The Days of '49" Here the merry click of roulette balls, the rattle of dice and the rust ling shuffle of cards was mingled with the monotonous tones of the croupiers. Could the shades of forty-niners nave appeared on the scene they would have been right at home but none could have staked their hard earned gold with any more abandon than the revel- CTS staked their metal chips in wild effort to gather enough to carry them through the night. Not few were re markedly successful in the attempt. "The days of '49" is an historic re- vival that should not be missed.
 The big dance upstairs was another attraction that drew everybody sooner or later. All night long crowds troop ed up to the dance floor and down again to the fun below and up again to the dance, over and over. Girls there were in plenty and there was no trouble about finding a partner.
 For an evening of good entertain ment the bazaar can not be beaten and in addition there are countless articles

DUBLIN. April 5. - Though there was no Easter rebellion the Sim Fein- CTS gave the government nearly as much annoyance as if there had been. They demonstrated also their wide spread organization and the secrecy with which they are able to execute their coups simultaneously in every part of the island Not only were tax offices and police barracks attacked, but private residences of tax collect ors were also raided
 Papers were removed and destroyed. but in these raids no one was injured The destruction of tax records will greatly embarrass the authorities and delay the collection of the income tax Most payments were made by the end of March, but in hundreds Of cases the tax payers are in arrears and doubtful and disputed claims remain open and their clearing up will be postponed.

ARREST WOMEN FUR P|CKETING
 BRITISH ENVOY
Friends of Irish "Republic" Risk Felony Charge in
 Washington

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The feder- al government moved today to put an end to the picketing of the British em- bassy, which was renewed this morn- ing by women sympathiZers with the movement for an Irish republic.
 United States District Attorney Las key informed Matthew O'Brien, coun- sel for the women, that if his clients persisted they would be prosecuted un- der federal statute which makes the offering of an insult to a diplomatic representative of a foreign govern ment, or to his official residence, felony punishable by a prison sen tence.
 Simultaneously. Mir. Laskey con- municated his decision to the District of Columbia commissioners, who in- structed the police to arrest the wom- en after warning them. Captain Doyle and two police women were sent to the embassy in a patrol wagon and found Mrs Mary Walker of Astoria, Long Island, and Miss Mollie Carroll, of New York City, carrying banners on the sidewalk.
 Captain Doyle informed the banner bearing women that unless they left in 15 minutes they would be arrested under federal laws, but they refused to depart After they had been taken to police headquarters and held for half an hour they were released on orders of MT. Laskey.
 .. The district attorney explained sub- sequently that the police had acted be fore Mir. O'Brien had had time to noti- fy his clients of the governments de- cision. An hour before the police in tervened, Mrs. Sophie Stanton and Mrs. Hattie Larkin of this oity attack ed two pickets who mad preceded Mrs Walker and Miss Carroll and were ar rested on charges Of "disorderly con duct"
 They were released upon depositing a cash forfeit of S25 each.
 Mrs. Walker and Miss Carroll were not replaced at the embassy after the police took them away and leaders of the movement would not say what their plans for tomorrow were.

Spirit Land

Bill Perkins died-as all men must,
His weary body turned to dust.
But Charon took his sagging soul
And padded it across the Styx,
Where no one came to grab his roll
And no one talked Of politics
And Bill was glad enough. because
He d gotten sick Of endless laws,
Of growing rents and pro1teers,
Qf clothes to frame his aching bones,
Ofstnkes and squabbles through the years.
Oftaxes and Of telephones
Here's where / II only loaf and Dream"
He thought beside singing stream:
No food to buy-no rent to pay
No central saying. Busy now.
And every other blissful day
A brand new halo for my brow
But three days later dreaming still,
A Medium discovered Bill
He kicked and scratched he fought his best
But never had ghostly chance:
Who would have up against the test
When large blond ladies throw trance?
This broke his spirit more than all
o have strange pleading women call
Him Loving Husband" night and day,
Strange women that he d never seen,
Where some were blond and some were gray.
And some were fat and some were lean
Strange fathers spoke to him as SON;
Strange mothers called him little one;
Strange brothers whispered Hello. Bill
Until one bitter night he tried
While feeling blue and low and i'll
To cut his throat in suicide.
IF / do that, he thought. Tin done:
Ill be two ghosts instead Of one;
And she will double up my shift
And keep us both here in her den
Where Twill likely have to lift
Just twice as many tables then"
Hetried to snap the mystic chain,
But all his protests were in vain:
And SO each night at half-past eight
He had to leave his realm of rest
10 blow a horn or mark slate
Or jump table for her guest.

HOW THE CRATER GETS
IN HIS PERFECT WORK

Once upon a time a stranger
knocked upon mans door and told
him of a fortune to be made. "Of
course" the stranger stated, 1T will
call for a great deal of endeavor, for
many troubled days aud sleepless
nights.
The mar listened atteptiEely until
the stranger had concluded, when he
asked: What did you say your name
was?"
"My name, sir" rtplied the stranger,
lis Opportunity"
Well" said the man, your name
may be Opportunity. but you sound
like hard work to me-"
The moral of the fable lies in the
truth that it is impossible for anyone
to get something for nothing. Many
men have thought that they were get
ting away with it, but upon calm
reflection have arrived at the newt
able conclusion that there amt no
such animal -
The right and privileges of citizen
ship imply that there is duty TO De
performed as well as benefits TO De
received. Government, in democ.
racy. is but the expression OF the Will
OF the governed. II it is too much
trouble for the citizen to vote ana
take his part in public affairs 1t is
equally certain that it will be too mucn
trouble for public officials to award
him efficient stewardship. And, why
should they?
Efficiency calls for painstaking
labor. The citizen and voter Is not
sufficiently interested to maintain a
check upon public affairs and so gets
something for nothing right where ne

CITIZEN WHO
JOINS PAST WITH PRESENT

The Recorder office was honorea hv
visit from M. NJ. McPberson ~,
Wednesday when the venerable nin.
neer came to tell about his visit to
Gilmore. where he was called to attend
a meeting OF G. and p. board of
directors, in which he holds member
ship.
81 MI. MCPHERSON, who came to the
Salmon country with the first half
dozen permanent settlers more than
fifty years ago, is perhaps the sole
survivor of that day still in business
harness here. Certainly it is this
splendid type of man more than anv
other survivor of the early settlers
who connects US up SO closely with
the past.
The old gentleman does not remain
throughout the year in Salmon hin,
comes back here from California early
every summer to find his greatest
pleasure in life in meeting with his
old and new friends. Mr.. Mcpherson
is nearing his 77th birthday ami
versary, which will fall on the 26th
of the present month. On the occa.
sion of his Gilmore visit he rode a
railroad speeder $50 miles in a day
from Salmon to Gilmore ard thence
to Armstead and back to Salmon.
Not until the G.. & p. attains it's
proper place and becomes a part of
the Northern Pacific to the west coast
of the continent will Mr.. Mcpherson
rest content. He is of the opinion
that the present day demand is that
the railroads be restored to their
proper degree of Importance and be
expanded in keeping with the coun-
try's requirements, instead of the in
adequate service now when there may
be billions of dollars of losses from
the lack of transportation facilities.
To do this we must put aside the
prejudices of the past that arose from
bad management of that day and set
our faces to correct management in
the future.
