Tie high license was fought
by the saloon men in Challis,
Custer and Houston. In Challis
and Houston the people voted
the high hcense-tha is cast
over $50 votes for Governor. In
Custer where about 178 votes
were polled the Governors re-
ceived less than $50 votes. This
is an unjust and unfair law to the
nominees for Governor. In the
three precincts in Custer county
where high license was fought
Houston and Custer
the returns show that Mr.. Hunt,
the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor, lost SO votes, while MIR.
Standrod, the Republican nom
inee, only lost 16 votes. In Gus
ter precinct only one lone Re
publican failed TO vote FOR Stand
rod, while SO Democrats did not
vote for Hunt.
Custer and Lemhi did just as
was expected-rolled up big
majorities for Democracy. IF
they get railways through them
during the next two years, there
may be big change -Blackfoot
Mail.
1t is difficult to know just what
the Mail man means in the above
item. Does he mean to insinuate
that the voters of Custer and
Lemhi counties are ignorant be-
cause they went Democratic, and
that railways would enlighten
them and they would be Republi-
can : Ii this is what our Repub-
lican friend means to convey, we
desire to inform him that the
voters of Custer and Lemhi
counties, whether they have rail-
ways or not, are just as intelli-
gent and Independent voters as
or any other county.
Or does he think that railroad
could buy and ship in enough
voters to make these counties

Commncting upon the increase in the

Gays; '"rhe government justly appre-
ciates the services of Its soldiers and
sailors by making pension payments
liberal beyond precedent to them, their
widows and orphans"
Continuing the president says: There
still remain important features OF the
rightful application OF the eight hour
law for the benefit Of labor and OF the
principle of arbitration and I again
commend these subjects TO the careful
attention OF congress"
The message concludes: I'm our
great prospect we must guard against
the danger Il invites OF extravagance
in government expenditures and ap-
propriations; and the chosen represen-
tatives OF the people will. I doubt not,
furnish an example in their legislation
OF that wise economy, which, In season
OF plenty, husbands for the future. In
this era OF great business activity and
opportunity caution Is not suntlmely. II
win not abate but strengthen conf
denoe. II win not retard. but promote
legitimate Industrial and commercial
expansion. Growing power brings with
II temptations and perils requiring con-
slant vigilance to avoid. II must not
be used to invite conflicts nor for op-
preston. but for more effective main
,enance OF the principles OF equality
and justice upon which our institu-
tions and happiness depends. Let us
keep always In mind that the founda
tion OF our government Is liberty; It's
superstructure is peace"

FRILLS OF FASHION.
some of the New Materials Which
Are Popular In Spring
Costumes.

Jet is again much in favor among
spring trimmings. When used on dec
ollete waists it is framed in white
tulle.
Kid cloth is the name of new fab
ric which looks not unlike the surface
of a suede glove. 1t adapts itself adj
mirably to the lines of the figure, an
important requisite now, and is newer
even than satin cloth.
The latest development in the coat
line in Paris is the motor car coat.
1t is Bong and straight, widening as it
descends. and wraps over the chest and
knees. Each front is ample enough to
overwrap the other, and the garment
is excellent for driving purposes. An
other curious innovation is the apron
effect, which is finding its way to coats
as well as dresses.
Mauve, pale blue and pale yellow
muslin, with insertions of ivory NAL
tese lace, make dainty blouses.
A modish hat has as it's foundation
green moss. with roses and rosebuds
and green leaves which appear to grow
up naturally from the crown. The idea
is quaint, and the hat, which is small,
sits well off from TIE face.
Sashes of lace, preferably some heir
loom, are worn with evening gowns.
The ribbon makers are showing what
they can do this spring, for their prod
ucts have never been lovelier. EN-
broidered and painted ribbons are the
latest wrinkle, and the shirred rib
bons make very stylish trimmings for
gowns of thin cotton material.
The very newest kind of chiffon is
plated in many directions and has q
curious MORE effect. In dull black it
is one of the softest and prettiest OF
mourning materials.
There are indications that the plain
or simply rolled collar will reign in
the immediate future, and lace anC
chiffon ears and frills will be abolished
from the nape of the neck.
Tulle is an important feature of al
spring millinery:
A new spiral skirt is rather long al
the back and without seams;-it falls il
sinuous clinging folds over detached
foundation.
Fine imported challies are more ar
/ tistic in design and coloring than evel
before, and promise to rival foulart
gowns Like the new organdies. they
J show either very small or eXtremel,
