POLICEMEN ON SKATES

I No joke is intended-we are no
 speaking about the sort of skates
 you are thinking of. The little news
 item that policemen are likely to bt
 provided with skates to properly cover
 their territory when on duty in North
 End park where there is a great deal 1 of skating merely suggests the inevita- bleness of a whole lot of things. Of
 course, incidentally, it is proper to ! have our officers who are supposed to .see to it that there is no disorder on Athe ice there, wear skates the better No cover the beat" But the half has Shot been told,
 1 Not long ago it was suggested that officers be taken to their beats, if they were at distant points, in cars. Some .Ae' suggested that it might be ad-
 visable for the police department to : have an automobile for the use of off cers on special duty so that they would be able to get about quickly and
 follow offenders against the law who
 might seek to escape
 Now we are not suggesting that the city buy cars for the policemen, nor airplanes nor anything else that would add to the tax burden. Hardly that. hardly that, The taxes are quite large enoug.. thank you, and what we are especially interested in is to see them come down and the cost of living along with the taxes.
 But to return to the discussion of the picture of the future painted by the wSon of our officers skating about NorD End park, it is quite certain that ln years to come the police of the country will patrol the air every where as partially obtains now, and will travel by some new inventions underground and under the water. Moreover the old idea-and the Idea that is generally accepted now-that walking brings good enough protec- ton will disappear. Today the officers carry up-to-date revolvers. They are armed in many ways to meet the arms of the criminal. Yet we think nothing of letting crime run away in his au- tomobile while law and order plods after him on foot There is always ob- jection to innovations in the police de- partment They cost money. But the criminal is spending money to invent or make use Of new things to perpe- trate his crimes. The time will come when it will be just as necessary for the police Of the world to have the same latest inventions 10 meet crime. as it will be necessary in the next war for the United States to have a de- fense. whether by means of offense or defense. against the war inventions of other nations.
 Lay and order will lag a bit be- hind criminal ingenuity always-but it can't afford to get too far behind. | Meanwhile let's not invest any Of the eitys money just now in anything l that is not absolutely necessary.

choicest farms ON Camas Prairie came
into private ownership through this
office
In recent years, business handled by
the land office dealt largely with lands
suitable for grazing purposes and for
est homesteads, but the number of
both classifications still available I'M
der existing laws is slight, compared
with filings that have been made and
patents issued in the more distant
past
Since the land office business has
dwindled, the conclusion should not be
drawn that the districts homesteaded
during the last ten years are filed
with thriving farmers, for such is not
the case. 1t is a too well known fact
that much of this land will not sus-
tain a family. 1t is remote, rough,
and to a large extent unsuited for
cultivation, Or can be cultivated only
after enormous expense. This land
sometimes has been deserted, and in
other cases has fallen into hands of
large sheep and cattle firms.
The earlier work of the land office
brought into the country-to Camas
Prairie and the river sections-farmers
who located on the better lands and |
builded permanent homes. In later
years, frequently different story is
told. Driven to the outskirts of civil
lization for public lands that could be
starvation has often lurked |
on the trail of the modern homestead

the government land tender as not
worth the effort and money necessary
to enable him to make final proof.
Truly, the day of valuable free home
steads in central Idaho is past. and
he land office may be said to have
fulfilled its mission.

DAUGHERTY QUITS
POST IN TEMPEST
COOLIDGE FORCES RESIGNATION
OF ATTORNEY GENERAL HAR-
RY M. pAUGHERTY
RESIGNS BY REQUEST
OUSTED OFFICIAL STATES THAT
HE is BEING SAC
RiFICED

Washinston.-H NJ. Daugherty
passed out of public life In tempest
that terminated fittingly his three
stormy years as attorney general.
His appointment TO the cabinet by
President Harding was the subject OF
criticism. and his resignation came mt
the virtual demand of President Cool
idgc and in the midst of n sensation
producing Senate investigation OF his
official acts.
President Coolidge asked for the res
ignation because he felt he could not
depend on Mr.. Daugherty for disinter-
ested advice and because he believed
the attorney general could not perform
satisfactorily the duties of his office
under the conditions resulting from the
Senate inquiry.
Mr.. Daughcrty rendered his resigna-
ton "solely out of Difference to the
Presidents request and asked that 1t
be effective at once.
Then ms a private citizen he ad-
dressed an open letter to the Presi-
dent scathngly denouncing those who
lliu uuNbtulpu ht-
claring Mr.. Coolidge's stated reasons
for asking his resignation were
hardly warranted by the facts The
letter bristled with declarations that
the presidents suggestion that an
attack upon a cabinet officer dis
qualities him for further service Is n
dangerous doctrine" and that Cow
irdice and surrender of principle are
! never eXpendient."
Before this letter was received at
the White House, Mr.. Daugherty
cleared his desk, left the Department
of Justice and, soon was aboard Il
| train en- route to Atlantic City. He
plans to return to Washington for the
purpose only of closing up his private
affairs.
