JUDGE ROBINSON MAY
Be RECOMMENDED
FOR j, s. JUDGESRlP
By CHARLES BROOKS SMITH

Washington, ID. e. Nov. %.-One Of
the first important things that Sena'
tors Sutherland and ElkinS are eX'
pertcd To do when they return TO the
Capital for the special session OF the
Congress. is to confer and agree on
who TO nominate to the President TOT
appointment as judge on the court for
the Fourth federal CircIit. This CIR
emit comprises the two Nlrginias, the
CarOlinas. and Maryland.
: The present judges Of this court
are Charles a. Woods. Of South Caro-
lima; Edmund Waddill, Of Virginia.
md Martin A. Knapp who was as
signed TO this court when Congress
dissolved the Commerce court, ana
whose place Of residence IS at CheVy
Chase. Md. a suburb Of Washington
The judgeship to be filled by ap-
rointmcut by President Harding very
soon. as an additional one created
by the last Congress. The bill Great
Ing il provides that upon the death or
RESIGNATION OF Judge Knapp no sue
,casUr to him will be appointed.
May Be Ira Robinson
+ is limited at in more or less or
fetal circles thar the West Virginia
Senators will probably finally agree
TO present the name Of Judge Ira b.
Robinson for the appointment. pelnS
largely influenced IN that decision, II
is said BY well founded belief that
President Harding Is most friendly
toward Judge Robinson and would
like 10 appoint him. The closest
friends and advisers Of the President
are also openly and avowedly sup
porting Judge Robinson and doing all
thcy can To direct the appointment
his way.
Almost an identical situation e1'

Wnddil OF Virginia. was promoted

came known that the President would
have named Judge Robinson had he

This time il is believed here that
Judge Robinson will secure the neces-
Sary backing from the patronage
powers ~ his own state. and that he
will then stand an excellent chance OF
landing this desirable judicial ap-
pOintnrnt. If he should fail, it is re-
cardcd here rs almost certainty
that the appointment will go to Judge
Iuhn G. Rose. OF Maryland. He has

WILL FIX HIGHWAY
Spirit Lake Secures Promise
From County Board.

1t is reported the county COM
missioners will put the two miles
of road in the north end of the
Hayden Lake highway district in
good condition and charge the cost
to the district, which is permissa-
BILE under the law when a district
fails to do the work. The stretch
of road in question is that which
extends from Twin Lakes south
ward toward Rathdrum and
constitutes part of the auto high
way between Spirit Lake and
Spokane, via Rathdrum.
The following from the Spirit
Lake Herald, contains an account
of the recent efforts to have tie
two miles Of road put in condition
for travel.
"Last Saturday, (April 9, Ed
Revier and Chas. McCarty circu-
lated petition in the northern
end Of the Hayden Lake district
asking the commissioner to relin-
quish two mile stretch of road
adjoining the Panhandle Highway
district on the south, to this district
and after securing signatures OF
everyone in the territory proceeded
to Hayden Lake store where they
met and took the matter up with
the commissioners of that district.
After discussing the matter for
several hours the demands of the
petitioners were granted and the
matter was laid before the county
commissioners at their meeting in
Coeur d'Alene Wednesday. Mr..
McCarty who presented the petit
ton reports that the commission
ers ruled it was contrary to law
to make such transfer but prom
ised that this stretch of road will
be put in good condition at once.
"The Panhandle highway is one
of the best pieces of road in Koote-
mai county and is graveled from
Spirit Lake to the line of Hayd en-
Lake district and is always kept in
fine condition"

PHRASE IN USE BY ROMANS
Writers of Ancient Empire First Re
ferre d to the Game of "Ducks
and Drakes."

"Ducks and drakes,' an expression
used con monly in connection with u
nerson W bo is needless in money or
business matters, has gained wide clr-
culation since it was first used among
the Roma ms.
Minuciu@ Felix and other ancient
writer's allnde to a game of scaling
oyster shells or stones on the water.
If the stone emerged once 1t was SAID
to be a duck"
England adopted the game and gave
the phrase its present-day meaning.
Inst when 1t was first applied Is NOT
known. But it is well used in Henry
Peacham's book, "The Worth Of a
Penny" published in London In l64I
81 remember in Queen Elizabeth 8
time a wealthy citizen Of London lett
his son mighty estate in money, VINO,
imagining he should never be able 10
spend 1t, would usually make ducks
and brakes in the Thames river, with
shilling pieces as boys are wont 10
do with titles and oyster shells. Ana
in the end he, grew to such extreme
want that he was fain to beg or Dor
row a sixpence, having many times
no more shoes than feet and some
times having more feet than shoes.

HUNTERS MUST PAY
Fines Are SIS, Came Licenses
Only S2.

Soise, ldaho.-"It is whole
lot cheaper to pay 81 for game
license now than to run the chance
OF paying S25 fine and then hav-
ing to buy license too" This is
the argument being advanced by
Otto M. ones, state game warden,
in view of the number of arrests
being reported to his office for
hunting and fishing without
licenses.
The date of the validity of the
1921 license expired March 81, and
any person in the state desiring to
hunt, fish or trap after that date
must be equipped" with a 1922
license or run the chance of being
arrested and paying the minimum
fine of SIS into the state game fund.
The law also applies to the
carrying of guns. 1t is unlawful to
carry gun in field or forest with
out license.
"There has been no change
whatever in the state fish and game
laws from those in force last year
and there cannot be any changes
without legislative action, "said the
warden.

NEAR RIOT AT
LEGION MEET
Strong Protest is Raised
Against Blaine's Plan to
Let Kate O'Hare Speak.

Madison Wis, March 3O.-A near
riot broke out at protest meeting
of the American Legion and other
patriotic and civic organizations held
here last night when Philip Folrz
university junior and former service
man, defended Governor Blaine for
permitting Mrs. Kate Richards o.
Hare, we'll kncwn Socialist. to speak
tonight in the assembly chamber OF
the state capitol. Lieutenant Govern"
Comings is to IL eside at the meeting.
When yol,z ,.t,.red to the Ames'-
can Legion rs I, political foothal!'
there was L genera; rush for the pla; !.
form ard only after considerable !cs'-
ling about and rough handling of the
speaker during which he was knoa>ed
d own. was the n.i.':ting Quieted down.
Other SDeakcrS denounced Mrs. ~
Hare for her war record which result
ell in her serving - months in prj.;on
for violation of the espionage laws.
Adopt Resolution.
After an hour of speeches a resolu-
tion was adopted almost unanimously
condemning Governor Blaine and
John F. Morrssey, superintendent OF
public property for permitting Mrs.
O'Hare to speak in the capitol. The ex-
service men Of this community, in no
way deny the right of free speech, the
resolution stated but still less do
they deny the legal rights of the gov
ernor to permit Mrs. O'Hare to speak
in the capitol of the state"
I'VE. hold it to be desecration that
the building which shrined the colors
and preserved the casualty list of Wis
consir regiments should now become
the forum, of>the enemy. We consider
it an insult that. by such administra-
tion of property, our state should
seem to vindicate and endorse the
character and record of Mrs. O'Hare." !"
Telegrams have been received d.
the governors Office from nearly e-
cry legion post in the state protesting
against his stand in permitting Mrs.
O'Hare to use the assembly chamber.
