effect that he Is against local option

pie misunderstood the true and legal
meaning of local option. Local op-
tion is not county option and in
adopting and attempting to enforce
county potion the prohibitionists
We're violating one OF the most ts-
acred rights OF man. The police pow-
ers of the state gave 1t the right to
enact a law to govern the people, but
no such right belongs to the county
or can be delegated TO the county,
and 1t was his opinion that a court
without fear or favor would hold such
a law unconstitutional. Local option
meant the wishes of the people com
posing the smallest legal political
subdivision, such as a township or in
eorporated village or city and for a
state to delegate such power to
counties was clearly beyond its pow
er, The speaker denied the right of
eonfscation of property, stating that
~ he put his money into a brewery
building and plant he was doing II
under sanction of law and under the
protection of the law which could
not discriminate as to the class OF
property which the individual should
own, and that after he had invested
his money no just law could be en-
acted to bake that property from him
or make II valueless, and the prohi-
bitionists had as much right to take
any other private property by con-
fiscation as to take the brewery. a
method which was being ATTEMPTED
In Tennessee. 1t WIS simply a policy
of confscation of property without
just compensation.
FavOrs Moral Law.
Mayor Rose dwelt strongly on
moral training and the influence OF
the mother to bring the boy up along
Coeur d'Alene evening press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1907-1929, 1909-11-06

the lines OF temperance and sobriety.
He did not want to raise boys who
would have to be kept straight by the
club OF big policemen, or who would
be taught disrespect for the Law by
examples OF Bookkeeping, speak-easy
or blind pig criminals who operated
in prohibition territory. The old
temperance principle OF moral suasion
is the only true method of promoting
temperance and It could not be ac-
eomplished by threats. fear of the
law or coercion. He made an Illus
tration by citing the attitude OF de-
fiance usually exhibited by the child
II its parents threatened II and the
loving submission 10 the kindly talk
and the friendly kiss which caused
the child to unbend Immediately and
comply with the wishes OF the parent
He appealed to the mother TO set
the boy in the right path by moral
training instead of voting TO erect
over his head club OF prohibition
law which says that he must not
touch intoxicants and becomes
criminal II he does. He praised the
stand our business men have taken
for strict regulation and license.
which meant protection to their bust
ness and a stand for the inalienable
right of personal liberty, the most
sacred and valuable gift to human
ity. He defied any prohibitionist to
find one sentence In the bible favor
ing prohibition and cited many pass
ages to show that the drinking of
intoxicants was recognized while
temperance is enjoined as a ylrute.

fey were indicted on three counts
of criminal conspiracy to defraud the
United States, indictments being
based on what are known as the
Steffey cases. The four defendants
are charged with entering into a con-
spiracy to secure public lands under
~the timber and stone act, October 80,
1905. That the statute of limiSa-
tions has not run out on these counts
because the conspiracies have been
continued by overt acts is the con-
tention OF the government. Harvey
j. Steffey Is alleged to have solicited
persons to file under the timber and
stone act, other defendants furnish
ing the money to make the initial
entry and make final proof. That
the land affected by these indict-
ments passed into the ownership of
Keswter and Kettenbach was shown
by the government by the records OF
the county auditor.
The lands are located in the
Weippe section in Nez Perez county,

WHITE HOUSE COSTS BIG
MONEY FOR REPAIRS.
Iust BE Kept Up Because of Great
ThrOngs of Visitors.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. e.
Congress sets apart thousands of dol
lars year for maintenance and re-
pairs at the White House. The lat
ter cost quite as much as the former,
due to the fact that the house is Wis
ited yearly by great throngs of peo-
pile, who leave behind them trails of
wear and tear that demands prompt
attention. The annual house clean
.ing and repairing always take place
while the president and his family
pre- absent for the summer, and his
work for the current season is now
Drawing rapidly to a close 1t is ex-
pected that the house and grounds
hnd the enlarged executive Offices
will be in readiness for occupancy by
the time Mrs. Taft returns to Wash
lngton from Beverly. about the mid
die OF the present month. Certainly
Everything will be in first class con-
ditiOn by the time the president re-
Turns, month later. The president
has approved a plan to finish the in
terior of his private Office in the en-
larged executive building with wood
grown in the Philippines. The par
squett flooring of the office will be of
Tuscan-Calao wood, dark green In
color, which grows abundantly in the
Islands. The furniture in the presi-
dents Office will be covered with the
skin of the cariboo. OF Philippine
buffalo, brought from the Philippines
for this especially. SO much for the
presidents good win for the little
brown men.

the old paint were carefully removed
