That the so-called ““‘lazy hus- band” law cannot be enforced in counties where there is no public work for prisoners is believed to be behind the granting of a re- prieve to Willard Case by Governor C. C. Moore Monday. Case was the first man convict- ed in Ada county under the law. He has been in jail since he filed motion of appeal. The reprieve was grantor. under a ent ot Wrig! t A. Stacy, his attorney, to dismiss the appeal. The case has several interest- ing aspects, not the least of which is the implication that, in its full intent, the “lazy hus- hand” law connot be enforcen where the country has no means of putting a prisoner to work who refuses to work otherwise to support his family. As one at- por gh put it Monday,“ A man could refuse to work and the county would have. to support hie indefinitely. The wife anc would be a test of the constitu- tionality of the law on the ground that it gave powers to a probate court beyond the consti- tutional limits of the legislature to give. GOVERNOR SATISFIED. Idaho has a poor contract with the Reliance Manufactur- ing company for shirts made at the state penitentiary, according to the National Free Labor as- sociation of Jersey City. Gover- nor C. C. Moore received a letter Thursday from the association, criticizing the contract and say- ing Connecticut, for example, gets almost twice as much for the same kinds of shirts. A comparison was caused, the letter said, by a reported state- ment of the president of the manufacturing company that an “enormously profitable contract” had been made with Idaho for prison labor. The association says the board of prison commissioners owes an explanation to the tax. trup. There are several others who will give close competition for positions on the team. These are Joe Wagner, Tom Kurdy, ;Kenneth Hensley, Clarence Peterson, Raymond, and Edgar Johnson. The schedule has been arrang- f= ed as follows: Nov. 28—Nezperce at Cotton- wood.

Recently two French soldiers were bathing in the Rhine river. Since they were unable to swim, the soldiers were in a serious condition. A young German, who was watching, swam out and rescued both of them. The French Tribunal, to reward him promised that anything he asked would be granted. He asked that the lives of seven men, who had been condemned to be shot for causing trouble to the French authorities, might be spared. The request was granted. More than eighty per cent ot the population of Brazil cannot read or write. ‘ The origin of the term “Wob- bly,” so often applied to mem- bers of the I. W. W., is given as follows: In Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1911, the I. W. W. had a number of Chinese mem- bers, and one Chinese restaurant keeper would trust any member for meals. He could not pro- nounce the letter .‘w,” but called it “wobble,” and would ask: “You I. Wobble Wobble?” and when the card was shown credit was unlimited.

The Chinese are protesting against the impractical charac- ter of the education given the young Chinamen studying in America at the expense of the Boxer indemnity. They return to China with “nothing more than a store of book learning and a superficial knowledge of Amer- ican life to show for their long sojourn at government charge in the United States.” China needs men who are willing to work— not aspirants for government jobs.
