SOFT DRINKS.

"Soft drinksl" What a multitude of
sins are committed in thy name! In
Moscow it is said that plain "lemon
soda" will make man just as drunk as
the common old saloon whiskey. And
that 'near bear" is so near bear that it
answers all the purposes of the genuine
article. Well, we believe it was Shakes
peare who said: 'There's nothing in
the name" You can't always tell by
the name what's in it. The News has
no sympathy with any violator of the
law. We have no excuse to offer for the
fellow who, in violation of law, under
this or that sharp disguise, gets caught.
When man violates law he does so
with the risk of getting caught, and will
get caught if he persists. Where pub
lie officials are lax, criminals may easily
evade detection. But in Latah county,
where the sentiment is Overwhelmingly
against the saloon, and where the anti

EDITOR AND PROHIBITION.

The News takes much interest in the
matter of prohibition as presented by
the editors throughout the country.
Never before have the editors been so
outspoken in condemnation OF the sa-
loon, and this seems to be the senti-
ment throughout the nation. Many
of our Idaho exchanges have good
editorials along the line OF anti-saloon
work, and against the saloon. Editors,
like other classes Of citizens, have come
to believe the saloon is bad thing, and
are using their influence against the
evil. To the News there never has ex-
listed single valid excuse for the per-
petuation of the saloon. 1t is curse,
and from it no good ever has or never
can come. Just look at the saloon
What is its mission? What purpose
does it serve in the economy of the
state? What does it do? What is the
product of the saloon? Look not afar
for the reply; go out and open your eyes.
Perhaps your next-door neighbor is d
patron OF the saloon. Analyze him.
Go into his home and visit his family
Possibly, in spite of strong drinA, the
home may be we'll furnished, and the
wife may be happy, but ask her if the
saloon has contributed anything to that
happiness. If the family has the com
forts of life it is in spite of the saloon
But there will arise in your mind anoth.
er question-"Is the saloon adding any
thing to the family life that makes il
brighter and better?" Does it fill the
hearts of the wife and children with
pride to know that the father and hut.
band drinks? If so, the wife ought tC
boast about it, and she ought to teach
her children to drink. In such home
there ought to be pictures of saloons
hung upon the walls. We all know tina
the saloon is the greatest curse thu
home has, and the wonder is that it hal
been tolerated so many years.

The most foolish argument we have
ever heard rged against prohibition was
put up by saloon man, drummer, in
Moscow, Tuesday. He said that prohi-
bition made drunkards. and increased
the consumption of booze. And he cited
a case of some fellow in the east who
never drank until the county went dry.
Then this sober fellow, who never cared
for whiskey, started right in o drinking,
going some twelve miles after his liquor,
and soon becameta drunkard. II prohi-
bition does increase the consumption Of
booze, why on earth are the manufac-
turers of booze fighting prohibition?
Funny that man would fight some
thing that the saloonmen declare, IN all
earnestness, does increase the quantity
of liquor used. The fact that the dis
tilers are fighting prohibition is the
best kind of evidence that prohibition
does hurt the liquor business.

The average man can see that it pays
to trade at home. 1t pays the farmer to
build up home industry and home bust
ness men, because the better the town
the more valuable becomes every farm
tributary to that town. The merchant
and the farmer ought to understand
that interests are mutual, and whatever
helps or Injuries one, helps or hurts the
other. Give the home merchant an OPP
portunity to figure on your cash bust
ness, and then see if he can't make it
to your advantage to trade at home. A
Turner near Troy had made up his mind
t. send away for stove. He got prices
and then went into Olson & Johnson's
store and talked 1t over. He bought the
stove in Troy. He got it the day he
wanted it. He got it of a local firm that
stands back of it, and will make it good
should it prove defective in any particu-
lar The farmer saw what he was buy
ing. He went home satisfied.

The people of Illinois are proud
of Uncle Joe, but they are not
idiots. They are aware that he
is not qualified, on account of
age, to do justice to the impor-
tant position that he in his do
tage aspires to. They also know
that he belongs to the old school,
and that he is too old and set in
his ways to change. What the
people want is the policy of
Rooseveltism continued and they
feel sure that in Taft's election
to the presidency that policy will
be continued. That is the reason
that nine tenths of the Republi-
can voters are for Taft. They
say I'VE are willing to give our
Uncle Joe a complimentary vote
in the convention but after that
it must be solid for Taft"

In his order to stop betting at
the Overland Park races in Den
yer and making the order sweep
ing over the State, Gov. Buchtel
has not gone one step too far.
Race track gambling is no less
gambling than faro bank, rou-
lette or any other sort of chance
taking in money gambling. The
trouble is with the Governor, he
seems to be piling it on pretty
thick right at the last, while in
the early part of his term he
made little or no attempt to stop
any kind of gambling. While
the putting on of the lid now is
better than not at all, let us hope
it is conscientious movement
and has in it nothing done for
political effect, for moral meas
ures need to be taken care of
aside from politics.

PRINCEToN-CoRNELL TILT.

 Criticism of Baseball Action,

Princeton, N l., May 6,-No official statement came from the Princeton baseball management last night as to the reported refusal of the Tiger base ball team to play at Ithaca last Sat urday. The Daily Princetonian how ever. the college paper, says editorially to-day;
 Last Mondays issue of the Cor nell Daily Sun contained an editorial which did the Princeton baseball man agement great injustice and was, we feel certain based upon m inadequate knowledge of the facts. In refusing to play the game with Cornell last Sat urday because the field was untit for use the action of the Princeton man. agement was termed dlscourteous and unjustIfed. We have made a thor ouGh examination of the entire af- fair and although we feel it most un. fortunate that such action had to be taken. we firmly believe that the Princeton management was entirely justified. and that in publishing the editorial which appeared last Monday ! the Cornell Daily Sun acted hastily and without knowing the exact facts | of the case. We arc so sure of our position that we have written person. | ally to the Cornell Sun making a com l plete statement of the situation, and
 we are confident that when the Sun ] is informed of all the facts 1t will
