TOWN AGAIN FOR LICENSE

When the ballot boxes were turned
in town meeting at o'clock this af-
ternoon over 14O0 votes had been cast.
the largest town meeting vote in sew
eral years. This increased vote was
drawn out by the interest in the IL
cense issue the courthouse ballot and
the contest over road commissioner
in the north district.
The courthouse vote was the first
counted. The result was 926 yes and
376 no, a majority of $50 in favor.
This is a good showing for Benning-
ton but the majority in favor is not
enough to carry the bill as the county
towns will almost unanimously vote
against it.
The license box was not turned I'M
til O'Clock, that being the time fixed
by law. The result was as follows:
For license 754
Against license $50
License majority 1874
The town has uniformly voted H.
cense for the past six years but by
majorities tending downward. The
yes majority in 1903 was 1882, while
last year 1t was 367. Two years ago
it was 34S. The license vote of the
town for the past six years has been
as follows:

of the candidates that British Ameri-

An Error

We call the attention of our
readers to an error which ap-
peared in our last issue relative
to the law governing registra-
tion for the local option cleo
ton to be held in Elmore county
October 6. That no serious re-
suits may be the elimination of
the mistake, we print that Sec
ton of the law, which reads as
follows:
Section 8. No person shall
be permitted to vote at a special
election called under this act,
unless he is duly registered as
required by law; provided, how
ever, that all persons who were
registered in the county for
the last proceeding general
election need not register again
for the special election, but the
registration lists for such gen.
eral election shall be used and
persons who were not then
registered may register for the
special election according to
the statutes relating to regis
tration, for which purpose the
registrars appointed for such
general election shall act. In
case a registrar in any precinct
fails to act or the office be-
comes vacant, the county audit
or shall fill such vacancy by
appointment"

The Atlanta Road

Concentrated ore from t he
Atlanta mines is now being
shipped regularly from Noun
tain Home, six large loads ar
rived last week and were i'm
mediately shipped to Salt Lake.
The road is in excellent condi-
ton and the improvement on
that part of it known as James
Creek has resulted in a blessing
to teamsters, so far as it is com
pleted. This road will undoubt-
edly be the only easy and sensi-
BILE grade for heavy teaming,
despite all reports to the con-
trary, and Mountain Home will
continue to be the distributing
point for the entire upper coun-
try.

havior, of more than a score of
the youths of both sexes in
Mountain Home has been the
subject of comment in the home
in social gatherings, and upon
the streets. For that period at
least it has been the habit Of
many to exclaim with amaze
ment why Jones allowed his Is
year old daughter to perambu-
late about the streets and out
skirts of town at such hours as
ten, twelve and two o'clock at
night in male company, or that
Smith permitted that boy of
his to associate with such a
bunch to fill him up with booze
and lure him to resorts of vice
and jnfamy. Is it the duty of
Jones or Smith or of the Of
ficials, whose salaries Smith and
Jones' taxes pay,to see the law,
which was created for the boy
and girls welfare, enforced?
Obviously the two gentlemen
referred to as Smith and Jones
are entitled to an explanation.
Will they get it on demand? We
will wait, and wait hopefully,
too.

Reflections

Sentenced to the State Re-
formatory at the age of Is or
16 means a period of some five
or six years enforced exile
separation from home and
mother, as well as from dear
friends, from happy and fami-
liar surroundings. Such a de-
cree, however, just and desir-
able in any case, is neverthe-
less distressing to others than
the sentenced; it is especially SO
to the fond parents. Yet at
about this age or under have oc-
cured a large majority of the
judgments which have sent the
youthful recruits to Idaho's
State Reformatory, and until a
thoroughly awakened public
conscience shall exact that more
scrupulously dutiful public Of
ficials direct the affairs of every
city, town and village, the grow
ing army of incorrigibles may
in a brief time make necessary

advisedly, after observation

Gov. j. H. Brady, because Of
his strong stand for prohibition,
has been the constant target for
the SANDER, insinuations and
open falsehoods of the liquor
interests; one Of the most often
repeated statements being that
deep in the innermost recesses
of his own home reposes enough
Of the "joy dope" to supply a
dozen saloons. Referring to a
letter to DR.. Minnie Howard at
Pocatello, his former home, the
governor said:
1t is manifestly unfair that
conditions should arise in a con-
test like this requiring me to
write this letter, and 1t Is only
an illustration of the vicious
methods employed by the sa-
loonmen in this campaign. They
persist in circulating the report
that my cellar is full of liquors
and wines. Everybody who
knows me intimately knows
that the statement is absolutely
false. The saloonmen know it,
but they hope to reach people
who do not know the facts and
thus hurt the cause of temper
'ance by holding it up to ridi-
cule and | would not stoop to
notice the accusation if it only
effected me personally, but as

| have no criticism to offer to
those who serve wine on their
table. It is a practice that has
been in vogue for centuries, but
it happens that | have never
served wine at my home and
if the opposition wanted to be
fair they could easily ascertain
the facts in the case.
| believe implicitly in the
principles of prohibition, and
when my official duties are fin

no and make Idaho my home
and | shall at all times live an
honorable and upright life so
that the people may know and
not be mislead by the vicious
tactics that have been employ
ed by the saloon men against
me.
Are the people in favor of the
saloons as they are conducted
today or are they in favor of re-
placing them with stores and
workshops that will bring hap
plness and prosperity to your
splendid city and country? That
is the question for the people to
decide.

It seems to be an established
precedent that some time dur

son to sooner or later become a
benedict. Appropos OF the truth
Of this fact We editor, b. ii.
Stellton, journeyed to Pocatello
Sunday morning and on Tues
day was married to Miss Mamie
Brew, oldest daughter of MIR.
and Mrs. w. J. Brew, Rev.
Wander Donckt speaking the
words that made us one and IN
separable. How did the bride
appear? Well, ,ahow do you sup
pose | could tell? Only that
she appeared like some infinite
person, dressed in some kind OF
white material that has a name
too long to remember. 1t was
a quiet affair, very quiet. SUI
fcient rice was showered upon
us by friends of the bride to
make just four rice puddings
and one bowl of soup. This
was rather deplorable, too, since
who would eat that bowl OF
soup afforded grounds for our
first quarrel, and as yet we have
not decided who is entitled to 1t.
There was a wedding breakfast
at 1890 in the morning, but
that now appears as only a
hazy remembrance, because
the time was passed in an en-
deavor to appear unaffected be-
fore the two score guests who
were present. We left Poca-
tello at 4 o'clock in the after
noon and here again the kind
ness of her friends was dissent
mated by the multitudlnous
old shoes with which we were
presented. Fortunately they
were of various sizes, so the ex-
pense of new shoes is curtailed
for some time. But IL would
be satiating a keen desire for
revenge to find the person who
with a puissant arm, threw the
boot with a brick neatly con-
cealed in it's interior. After a
short visit with the groom's
mother in Bellevue, we arrived
in Mountain Home Wednesday
evening, where we will reside
in the future. This is an

OFFICIAL PAPER OF MOUNTAIN HOME
Mountain Home Idaho, Saturday. September 4 1909.
LEWISTON NORMAL
TO START SOON
Dean Of Institution Here in Interests
Of the Big School in North
ern Part Of State

ern rart OF State
On Monday last Prof. H. A.
Hallowell dean of the Lewiston
lState Normal School, was in
Mountain Home, Miss Mable
Stevens and Miss Hazel Boyer
will attend school there this
year, Miss Eva earns was q
student from here last year.
In speaking of the Lewiston
Normal Prof. Hallowell said,
ave have the finest school for
the training of teachers in the
Northwest. Besides our large
administration building and our
music conservatory, we have a
new $4,000 manual art build
ing given over to manual train
ing and domestic science, a new
$4,000 gymnasium with a
splendid swiming pool, and a
$4,000 dormitory for our young
women students.
Although the people in Idaho
generally understand that the
Lewiston Normal School, being
a state institution, is impower-
ed by law to grant teachinng
certificates to students, yet it
is not generally understood
that the Lewiston Normal may
grant and does grant special
certificates in special subjects.
The following certificates are
granted: first, the diploma or
life certificate; second, the first
grade certificate, good for five
years; third, second grade certi-
ficate good for three years;
fourth, first grade rural certifi-
cate good for five years; fifth,
professional primary certificate
sixth, manual training and draw
ing certificate; seventh. draw
ing and domestic arts certifi-
cate; eighth, musical and phys
ical education certificate. These
special certificates are granted
upon the completion of one
years work in the professional
school of the Lewiston Normal.
Recently there has been a
growing demand on the part Of
school boards and superinten-
dents throughout the state for
trained teachers who are
specialistists in music and draw
ing, domestic art, manual train
ing and physical education. Un-
doubtedly this demand will
grow stronger with each year,
and those teachers who have
had special training along these
line will find no difficulty in OBJ
tanning desirable positions. The
special training required for
such positions, teachers can re-
ceive at the Lewiston Normal
School.
A special sleeper will be at
tached to the regular west
bound train leaving Nampa Sat
urday, September II. This car
will be reserved for our Nor
NAL students from southern
Idaho. In this way they can 60
through to Lewiston without
change of car.

FIRST CLASS SEASON
AT OPERA HOUSE
Manager Cannon Has Booked Some
Rare Attractions for the Next
Five Months

At a cost of over five hun
dred dollars 0. E. Cannon, man.
ager Of the opera house, has Sc.
cured a course of lectures and
entertainments from the red
path and Central lyceum bu-
reaus which will prove a rare
treat for the people of this city
for five months, beginning with
the 18th of October. On that
date Robert L. Taylor, Elk gov
ernor of Tennessee and now
United States senator from the
land of the cotton blossoms Ex-
governor Bob, as he is better
known, has an enviable reputa-
tion as an orator and a wit, and
upon his advent into our city
will render his masterpiece
"The Fiddle and the,Bow. Like
a good many of the old time pol
itians, Mr.. Taylor is the mas
ter Of the violin, and his rene
dition of many of the famous
authors has won for him the
praise of the press from the At
lantic to the Pacific.
Once a month following this
noted mans appearance will ap-
pear at the opera house another
feature of the course, including
Houston, the great magician,
mimic and musical entertainer
of a versatile character rarely
witnessed on the American
stage. Mr.. Houston is assisted
by his wife, a reader of excep-
tional ability, which makes this
performance practically a
double one.
Clare Vaughn Wales concert
and comedy company will be
the third attraction. In company
with Miss Wales are Florence
Benson, pianist and soprano and
Harry T. Longstreet, Baritone.
This is an impersonation and
musical act which has won the
favor of the theater going pub
lie wherever it has been produ-
ced.
The third is an historic pro-
duction, presenting the rise
from caniballism to culture by
three full blooded NewZealand-
ers, consisting of Wherahiko
Rawei, his wife Hine Taimo
and child Rae. Three hundred
views of New Zealand as it was
in time of barbarity and as it
is today will be portrayed.
This will prove exceptionally
satisfactory to the school chill
dren and affording abundance
of entertainment to the older
folks.
Edward Elliott, the great i'm
personator will be the last on
the list to appear on the local
boards. Mr.. Elliott's speciality
is in acting and reproducing
the most popular plays single
handed. Among these will be
"The Servant in the House,"
"The Man from Home" "The
Man of The Hour" and "The
Lion and the Mouse" If those
who contemplate any amount
of amusement from the theater
this season have seen these
plays before they are we'll worth
seeing again, produced by this
master, and if they have not
this will afford them a most ex-
cellent opportunity to satisfy
their desire to witness the most
noted play of the age.
Tickets for the entire course
will cost but $5. The supply
