IMPORTANT ISSUE IS WHETHER
VOTES SHALL BE COUNTED AS
CAST IN ELECTIONS HEREAF-
TER IN LEMHI COUNTY.

1t has been ascertained that the un-
used ballots for the Depot precinct
as involved in the Viel-Summers cleo
tlon contest had been called for by.
the Supreme court at the time of
the consideration of the case in that
tribunal, when that court was inform
ed that the request could not be COM
piled with for the reason that the
ballots had been destroyed.
1t thus appears that the missing
ballots were considered important tes-
timony to be taken into account in
any proper decision of the matter.
Not having been apprised of the de-
mand of the Supreme court, however,
Judge Padgham asked for the same
ballots and of course he could not
get them either. At the time, during
the recent term of Judge Adair's dis
trict court, Judge Padgham was pre-
pairing to go on with the retrial as
directed by the Supreme court.
He could not of course proceed
after being deprived of evidence con-
sidered necessary and so the case was
dropped from the calendar Thus ends
the most notable instance of the mis-
carriage of justice in all the annals of
court trials in Lemhi county. 1t is
certainly to be hoped for the good
name of the courts the like may never
occur again.
Many citizens believe that the man
elected was wrongfully deprived OF
his Office. There was abundant evi-
dence to prove tlifs ffsct. one Of the
material facts on the face of the case
being that watcher of the count
was excluded from the room where
the counting was going on; another
that ballots were wrongfully counted
and finally, upon recount of The votes
in court Mr.. Viel was found to be con-
siderably ahead of his opponent
though only one precinct was recount
ed. The judge had already ruled that
the ballots were the best evidence
bearing on the matter but he revers-
ed himself when finally deciding adj
versely to Viel. Then the case, after
long delays in getting the transcript
of the trial evidence from the court
reporter, which finally was produced
after the threat of a mandamus, was
taken 10 the Supreme court In this
court the decision reversed Judge
Adair but before long there came a
request for rehearing, which was
granted and that court too reversed
itself to the extent Of ordering a re-
trial.
From beginning to end and in all its
technicalities and devious turns, this
case, as stated above, furnishes the
most notable instance of the mis-
carriage of justice in all the annals
of Lemhi county. 1t would be condemn
Ell no less by this newspaper if Judge
Adair himself were deprived of an of
fice 20 which he had been so clearly
elected as was Mr.. Viel, or if Mr..

eff IMr. Viel, were 10 be so shamefully
treated in the election count, or in the
review of his case in the courts or
in The wickedness and depravity at
tending the present matter at the
very beginning.
Yes, those ballots all should be
burned, used as we'll as unused, and
all the records should be blotted out
of existence in the courts. "Out damn
ed spot!' as Lady Macbeth said after
numbering Duncan and wringing her
bio0dstained hands as she walked in
her sleep.
II is not for Mr.. Viel's personal
rights we are now contending but the
primal rights of the voters and tax
payers. They should still be permitted
to choose their own public officers,
with no bohunk from another state
to come into the county to deny them
that privilege. Mr.. Viel has without
doubt been very well off without the
office the past two years. He is busy
man and could manage to get along
without official or public burdens OF
any sort. But it has been found that
the general welfare needs busy men ;
great deal more than it needs idlers
and professional Office seekers. Vie
would make all the courthouse gel
busy too and there would undoubted
| ly be less idleness there and in al
public functions with the infusion o.
his pep" as county commissions
to control and limit expenditures.

CARD
County Superintendent.

The candidate for the office of coun-
ty superintendent on the democratic
ticlfat was endorsed by the leading of
fcials of both the democratic and re-
publican organizations; by Mrs. Wat
klns, former county superintendent,
since resigned, republican,; and other
school and county officers. Deferring
to this endorsement / did not file my
nomination for the primary election,
as | am Il democrat and would have
filed on that ticket if SO chosen. How
ever, the voters themselves nominated
me on the republican ticket by writing
IN my name. This was the only means
possible under our present system for
the people to choose a candidate.
I | firmly believe that in matters per-
tanning to the administration of this
Office and the courts politics should be
eliminated. For this reason | accent
the nomination.
| have taught in both city and rural
schools in the grades and in the high

tion officer.

THE HIGH COST OF ELECTIONS

The general probe into the affairs of the public is resultant IN
some queer findings, one of the latest being that In Montana cities
the per capita cost of voting shows a vast difference. For in
stance, each vote cast at the last Butte municipal election cost the
city 72 cents, while the cost in Lewistown was only Il cents. Great
Falls appears to be a rather high priced city to vote in, the figures
being given at 45 cents per vote. No figures in the cost of cleo
tons in the smaller cities are available at the present time, but I'M
doubtedly they will average even higher than in the larger cities,
especially when there lis a lack of interest displayed as often occurs.
Probably the largest item in the cost of all elections is the fees
allowed Judges and clerks for their services on election days. 1t
has occurred to us that this presents an opportunity for a display
of practical patriotism and a step toward economy in public ex-
penditure. The judges and clerks of school elections serve with
elected trustees of school districts also serve without pay. SINH
larly, the aldermen and mayors of most the smaller municipalities
of Montana also serve without pay, or at most with nominal COM
pensation, totally disproportionate to the time they give to public
service. There seems to us no adequate reason why the average
loyal citizen should not be willing to give a day to public service
of this nature without demanding the full legal fee for it. The
burden could easily be distributed so that no one would feel the
honor to be selected for public service of this nature.
In all communities there are citizens who give more or less OF
their time to the public advantage. Often they do 1T ,unobstru-
sively and without expectation of reward. Conversely, there are
others, and they are in the greater majority, who deliver nothing
to the public welfare without compensation, and generally they de-
mand the highest rate, as evidenced by the bills presented to the
dsbursing agents of all our public funds.
Good citizenship is not confined to a passive observance of the
rules of law and order. In this republic it calls for an active inter
est in the affairs of government on the part of everyone. 1t de-
mands even more than a sporadic enthusiasm at election time or
an acceleration of patriotism during wars alarms. 1t claims due
service in many directions, which if given ungrudgingly, marks
the practical loyalty of the desirable citizen.
An insignificant sacrifice by a few citizens in every commun-
iy at the coming municipal elections and the general election of
next fall carries the elements of real economy in public affairs and
suggests many other ways in which the taxpayers burdens may be
hghtened.

NOT so BLACK AFTER ALL

We have listened to criticism from the platform and read Eli
nor GUnns severe arrangement in the Cosmopolitan ano pesun
without a thought above the pleasure of the moment. ACCORDING
TO our censors, Americans merely live for jazz, JOY rides, Jewels
and gin, with an unsatisfied taste for theatres and moving PIC
lures and pleasure in general, for good measure.
It lis pretty well understood that in the smaller communities
which make up the real America, there Is more or less surviving 10
initiate the wild life of the Larger cities as it Is imagined TO De- 3 o
that as a fact there is really but little difference where you start
In order to get a line on the truth In regard TO our Iahlngs as ,
ration The probability is quite apparent that our critics have ex-
apQerated perhaps in order to make their argument more e11ectiVe.
For example, let us take our own community, In the matter OF
inv rides for instance. Belt probably owns as high a percentage OF
automobiles as any farming and industrial community IN state.
Yet how many of those cars are used purely for joy riding pur-
noses? We venture to assert from personal observance tnat by
far the greater number of the pleasure cars were purchased and
are used solely for unitarian purposes. They take the place OF the
former family carryal on Sundays and Mondays, Dut mainly Ihey
are used for business.
In the matter of jazz, we might mention that to our knowledge
the public dances in Belt during the year have not averaged one a
month, and for the greater part have been financial failures TO tne
promoters. We feel sure that our local jeweler will be rather en-
nbatic in stating that this community's desire for high priced per-
sonal adornment has not been particularly noticeable, wnlie ne at
tempt to put over entertainment of a high class by importing PAID
ability has resulted in financial loss to those responsible Tor the at
tempt. We have a wellconducted moving picture house, showing
every night of the week the same quality of films as shown IN the
larger cities. vet the average attendance is just about TWO n one
half per cent of the population of the community. That can be
hardly elassed as a dangerous addiction.
We are not closing our eyes to the fact that there is consider
able "moonshine" consumed in this locality, and yet in a holiday
gathering of recent occurrence where relaxation OF authority was
somewhat in evidence, among the thousand in attendance there
were SO few signs of over-indulgence that it was remarked upon.
1t has been charged that no one stays at home any more, but an
evening walk through the residence section of our town will dis
close the home fires burning and the greater part Of the houses
lit up, even if the head of the house is not. The cellar windows
are mostly dark.
be appalled, by our reckless proflgacy, but we really see no cause
for the fear that America is doomed to extinction as a nation
through luxurious living and spending.
