DIVORCE 1T FROM POLITICS.

The more this paper sees aud hears
of the discussion now going on In
Idaho over the liquor question, the
more it is convinced that 1t ought to
be taken out Of partisan politics alto
gether. 1t Is quite apparent that the
political leaders in both parties rec
ognize that it is a question that Is
going to be a factor In the coming
campaign If present conditions cor
tinue. 1t is equally apparent that the
merits of the question itself will
hardly enter into the fight In many
localities, but simply one of political
expediency. The leaders will declare
for prohibition, local option, high H.
cense or free whisky If In their judg-
ment either one Of these things will
draw the most votes for their party
or themselves individually. The
Leader-Herald does not wish to
charge that in every instance this
would be true, or wholly true in any
instance. There are leaders in both
parties in every community who
would use their best efforts to secure
in their party platoon an honest ex-
preston of what they would regard Is
the very best thing for the people. On
the whole, however, it can readily
be seen that the qeustion would be
interviewer with the political fort
unes of men and parties and would
not, and could not, be decided coolly
and dispassionately on it's merits.
This is all wrong. The people of
Idaho ought to have the opportunity
to consider this great question who'll
ly apart from other questions. To
that end this paper believes that the
members elected to the coming legis-
lature sh ould be pledged to arrange
for special election at which the
people could vote for high license 10
cal option or prohibition Such an
election would give every voter a
chance to express his exact views.
Without such election thousands of
men will not vote their exact views,
because they are more interested in
something else, advocated or opposed
by their party than in this one ques-
ton. -Herald-Leader.

Filler is still in its infancy ant
many things of interest and Of i'm
portance are happening that near
much for the future growth and pros
| perity of the town, but perhaps moth.
! ing has created more pleasure among
it's citizens than the arrival on the
18th of the post hole diggers for the
poles that are to carry the power
from the Shoshone Falls to the new
town of Hollister and the construc-
ton work which is soon to begin on
the gerat dam that is to confine the
waters that are to be used for irri-
eating purposes on the Salmon river
project.
1t is reported by those in position
to know that from this power line
which extends southwark one-half
mile east of the townsite, that a
switch Is soon to be extended to the
town and will thus furnish not only
that long desired convenience, cleo
trio light but power for manufactur-
ing purposes.
The opening of the Salmon River
Project, containing $4,000 acres of
exceptionally fine land, is the cause
of much interest being conferred in
Filler, for, as has been stated before,
Filler is not only situated in the
heart of the deepest and finest soil
on the entire Twin Falls tract, and
also has less waste land in proper
ton, than any other section, but 1t
is also the exact geographical center
of the tract and the gateway of the
new project that is to be opened the
first of June. That is, 1t is eight
miles nearer to the proposed town of
Hollis.cr and a larger portion Of the
new propect, than any other shipping
point.
Hollister is fourteen miles due
south of here and good roads and
bridges have just been completed to
the new town and territory, and when
in the course of two years the great
dam shall have been completed and
the $4,000 acres which are mostly
available for farming purposes, are
being settled, there will certainly be
a tremendous traffic fro mthat place
to this. In fact, 1t has already COM
menced the number of land seekers
that are visiting there now.

Wells Loses His Home.

o. ]. Wells, an old resident OF
Darlington, has practically lost his
home through the purchase of a
steam blowing outfit that is worth
less 1t seems he made an uncondi-
tional purchase, and now that he has
the outfit and the agent has the mon
ey it is doubtful If there is any re-
dress.
During the past winter Mr.. Wells
became greatly interested in steam
blowing, and early in the spring he
bought an engine and a set of plows,
for which he paid about $500,
mortgaging some of his land and sell
ing the rest to get the money. The
man who made the sale was careful
not to ship the outfit until the money
was paid. When the engine was put
to work 1t proved to be of smaller
capacity than It had been represent
ed, and If enough fire was put into
it to keep up power to draw the
plows 1t would melt out the CRATES.
They got two experts to take charge
of the outfit, and after about ten
days Of experimenting the engine
and plows were set aside and team
work commenced. ~
The agent refused to have any
thing to do with the outfit after 1t
was shipped, and the payments will
soon be coming due, secured by the
mortgage.

INDIAN TRANSFORMATION.
BaE Gives Rise to Extended Debate Iu

 thS Senate.
 Washington, Feb. Y25-The Indian ap- propriation bill brought into the Senate today, gave rise to an extended debate on the methods that have prevailed in considering such measures.
 After the first reading of Ahe bill had by unanimous consent been discussed and the reading of the amendments were begun, Senator Teller objected to the proceeding and finally the unani- nous agreement was set aside and the reading of the bill was proceeded with while but haTf a dozen Senators were in their seats. Commenting on the In- dians as perhaps a dying race, MT. Teller declared he could open up a scandal touching the Indians that would astonish the American people adding that he did not refer to any thing in the present bill
 "I refer he said. ito legislation en- acted years ago, and the execution of that Legislation by the department charged. with that duty
 Mir. Teller declared that Indian bills have In the past been put through the Senate loaded down. with new legisla- tion that should have never been adopted T have determined. so far as am concerned" said he. that what little effort can make will be to rec tify the wrongs we have committed towards these Indians.
 A general discussion followed. joined in by Senators Clapp. chairman of the Indian Committee. Hale, Fry, Lodge Curtis rillman and Bacon.
 Mir. Curtis. who boasts Indian blood and who is a member of the committee said he was particularly proud of the bill before the Senate. and he was sure a better measure for the Indians had never been passed hy Congress.

lt Mrs Brown and herself. Later Jesse Shreye brought both Mrs. Brown and herself tickets for Dallas. Texas.
 Her further testimony related to her return % Montgomery from Texas. and the nxlit which the shreves mada fo prevent fhelr return.
 George Shreve on the witness stand testified that the two women. Mrs Johnson and Mrs. Brown had employed him Co defend them on the charge of having testified two ways before the grand Jury in the matter of charges being preferred against Dr. Caffey
 For this purpose. George Shrave said that the women had given him si00 zach. After turning the money over to him they announced their inten- ton of leaving the city and never re- furhinG. and in addition to the attorl ney fees Of $1o0 each. the two had turned over e700 to him that he might look after them. . 5
 Jesse shfcve on the stand confirmed the testimony Of his brother. but on the close questioning of Solicitor Dent admitted going to Chehaw with the TWO women He. however. stou;Iy de- nicd that his accompanying them to Atlanta was to get them out of tie state and prevent them testffyine in the Caney case. The case was argued yesterday with unusual ability oh both sides. =. ~ VI
 The. Solicitor made an earnest an- peal for cleanness .n the courts and the city.,and unoted very aptly little jingle from a late Issue of Life" in which the question is asked why They do not clean the streets. clean the courts, and so on. closing with the sentence, Did you eyer stop to think that they, means you2'
 n he case was given to the ,JtrS about 4:SS o'clock and after deliberating for ope hour a verdict of guilty was re- turned. "

While favoring in many particulars the issuance vof clearing house certif- icatcs in times of Semerwency. Mir Hayes said that if 1t only was an emergency currency that at this time was demanded then Congress could go further and embody the principles un- deriving the clearing house certif6cates in a. measure that would give to the country an asset currency with many additional safeguards and securities. "which,"-be sAid. would be very much more satisfactory to the people than clearing house certificates because they would feel that ff was safest"
 One of his greatest objections to the Aldrich currency bill, said Mir. Hayes, was that 1t provided no reserve, moth ing anywhere. In the banks or in the treasury, for the redemption of the notes for the Issuance of which 1t pro- vides. and therefore leaves them. should they be issued Tn any quantity. as an additional burden upon the treas ury of the United states at the xery time when the treasury should be strengthened. In main. he said. he favored. the emergency currency plan favored by the currency commission of the American Bankers Association. It was in his opinion shuch superior to the Aldrich Dill. but he thought 1t should go further and put the currency system of the United States on q thor oughly sound and correct basis.
 So that he said. the national banks everyw here could Issue currency at any time when they and the comptroller agreed that there was a necessity for 1t to meet the needs of their customers and the pressing necessities of the bus mess men. laborers and farmers of the community in which they were located. than to make currency for the re- lief of. the men who are the owners of the speculative. mgnicipal and railroad bonds of the country

 The Shreves will appeal
 The verdict returned hy the jury yes- terdav afternoon. was not a surprise. It was held by all who heard the. case that the evidence against the two men was positive. They had aiready been adiudged guilty of contempt or court n the same case and punished. On the heels of that the. grand Jury brourbt in indictments for violation of the criminal code.
 Tha state contended in all the cases that the Ssreves had spirited away two witnesses in the serious charges pend- ing against pr Frank Caneys negro physician, in the City Court or Fl ont gomery. The two women wo rled from Electric Park, In the, suourps of Montgomery, to Chehaw. a station on the Western Railroad, some thirty i've miles from the city. They claimed that they were given large sum or money by Jesse sShreve. From Chehaw they went to Atlanta and rom A.tAahta to Dallas. Tex. In this latter cfey they were arrested as runaway witnesses. but they started a fight in the courts of that city with able attorneys, that prevented their return to Alabama Tor a long time and which cost the State of Alabama a neat sum. gNf
 They were finally. brought back and put in the Montgomery County tail where they were kept for sseyefal months. In jail they broke down and confessed. As result of that con fossion the proceedings were under- taken against the ShFeves.
 In the trial of the case yesterday. Mrs. Mattie Johnson testified posit,ve- Iy that she had been induced to leave Montgomery by the Shreyes. and that fo this end she had been given $200. She also testified positively that she went to Electric Park in a carriage where she was met by Jesse Shreve in an automobile and taken to Chehaw where she was placed on board sth@ early Western railroad train for Att Ianta.

NAVY INyEsTfGATION.
senate Conmfttee Is sitting Recent
 Magazine Criticisms.

AF M0KHE4MG OEhtsCsbMss
 swashington, Feb. 25--The investiga- ton of the charges against the Amsri- can Navy and the conduct of the Navy Department. was begun today before the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs in connection with the bill for the ad- ministratve reorganization of the navy. introduced by Chairman Hale. of the committee.
 Senator Hale called attention to a magazine article severely crtticising the construction of American battleships. No statement was made indicating what the extent of the committees inquiry will be, beyond the questions in rela- lion to alleged faulty construction" Lieutenant Commander Frank K. Hi on duty with the General Board of the Navy, today handed to Secretary Met calf, his reply fo the interrogatories addressed to him and to Lieutenant Commander sims, as to their knowiedge of the source of information alleged to have been furnished the writers who criticized the constructive features of the navy. Commander Hill declined to discuss his reply.
 Admiral Converse, as the first witt ness. characterized the, charges made in magazine articles as 'very unim- portant," some assi'so stated as to give a wrong impression" and some as ''sb- solutely false.
 He said that reports made by Com mander sims and Lieutenant Commander Hill as to the battleships Mississippi and Idaho, which were to be built, had contained references to the character istics of these ships almost identical with the criticisms contained in the magazine article written by Reuterdahl. but he could not say that Reuterdahl had secured his impressions from those reports. The accidents which have caused loss of life were taken up and the cause of each explained by Admiral Converse. He declared that not single accident on any of the Ameri- can battleshlps had been due to open turrets. but that all of them had orig mated at the breech of the gun.
