that a public sentiment has beer

Mr.. Spaulding showed by his map.
that nine states have prohibition
and only FIVE have no local option
or prohibition in any form. A
chart compiled from approved
statistics of Ohio, showing the
effects of the saloon business upon
the prosperity, ETC., of that state,
was used to prove that where there
are no saloons, the tax rate, num-
Der of felons, insane persons, etc. .
are uniformly smaller than in dis
tricts where the saloons exist,
while the percapita of wealth, per-
centage Of school attendance, etc.,
was greater. The chart shows
that conditions are worse in every
respect on gradual scale accord
ing to increase in the number Of
saloons to each 100, 900 Of popula-
ton. For instance the wealth per
capita in Harrison county with no
saloons, is over $50, while in the
division with the largest number
of saloons the figure drops to only
81. Correspondingly, the school
attendance in Harrison coupty is
over 80 per cent, and where the
saloons are thickest only 81 per
cent.
Mr.. ..Spaulding, in conclusion.
urged the people to realize the
importance of the issue, and the
duty which should bind every
friend Of local option and prohi-
bition to register and vote at the
coming election.

HoLDUP IN RATADRuM
{. E. Gillespie and Son Lose
$50.
LONE MASKED MAN DID WORK
Secured Money and Made Good His
Escape.

Thursday evening Of last week
while passing the Idaho s. Washing,
ton Northern freight depot, O. E.
Gillespie, Northern Pacific agent OF
Rathdrum, and his son, John GILES.
pie, night operator at Ramsey, were
held up by lone masked highway
tnaD, who relieved them OF about $50.
1t was about $3.50 O'Clock and the
moon was shining diInly through the
clouds Mr.. Gillespie and his son
were on their way home and as they
neared the l. & w. N. freight depot,
saw man sitting on the steps. He
arose and coming toward them, thrust
a gun in their faces and ordered them
TO hand over their money. The
younger man was much alarmed and
gave up his purse containing $58.
Mr.. Gillespie handed over 81 so 10
silver, although he Is said to have
had more on his person. Satisfied
with his haul, the rObber turned and
walked south on Mccartney street
toward the Northern Pacific tracks,
leaving his victims standing watch
ing him. He disappeared, and. al.
though Marshal Burns was at once
notified, and also the sheriff's office
at Coeur d'Alene. he has made good
his escape. He was Of medium size,
smooth faced and wore light clothes.
The holdup followed closely upon
the burglary of the meat market and
attempted burglary Of the Presby-
terian manse aud the theft of an
instrument case from DR.. Drennan's
automobile. 1t has been ascertal ned,
however, that no hams were taken
from the butcher shop. 1t was
thought at first that some were miss
ing but such did not prove to be the
case, and the amount taken from the
cash register was less than SIS.

The contract for the construction
or the Panhandle Electric railway
from Priest river to Priest lake has
been let to the contracting drm OF
Grant Smith & Co., with clause
that calls for completion in 1910.
ln decision coming up from Bear
Lake county Attorney General Nc
Dougal has decided that all saloons
licensed prior to May 6 will remain
open during the full period Of their
Licenses. and others will terminate at
the end of the 90 day period. under
local option.
The farmers Of the Payette valley
will be fortified against late frosts
next spring by the use OF orchard
heaters. Some OF the big orchardists
are already securing the heaters and
the material. Crude oil will be used
for fuel.
An old case which has been before
the KOotenai county courts for years
was revived last Friday when Mar.
garet LAWN and her husband, Owen
LAWN, filed suit at Occur d'Alene
against Former Sheriff g. A. Nc.
Donald for 1928 alleged to be due for
storing and holding at Rathdrum a
large amount OF undertaking goods

A dispatch from Lewiston contains
the prediction that a fight will be
raised against Speaker j. G.: Cannon
In Idaho next year. Senator La
Toilette Of Wisconsin. leader Of the
republican Insurgents, and Congress-
man Poindexter of Washington have
many admirers in north Idaho, it is
claimed, and although former Con-
gresham Burton L. French Of Idaho
has thus far made no statement it is
said his friends urge that he become
an ''insurgent" and lead the fight in
Idaho against Cannonism.

MONEY SPENT FOR BOOZE
More Than Amount Spent to Run
the Government.

That more money is spent for
liquor in the United States every
year than it takes to run the whole
government, national, state and
county; and that the liquor traffic
causes more expense, crime and
poverty than any other agency for
evil, were the main points, proven
by statistics, in RevsF. r. Spauld-
ing's sermon at the Presbyterian
church last Sunday morning.
With maps and charts he showed
that the saloon in the United
States is responsible for a direct
expenditure of $1,000, 900, 900 a
year, a sum more than equal to
the amount expended annually to
run the whole machinery of govern
ment. This was the direct cost,
he said, to which should be added
the court and police costs and the
money spent in maintaining our
jails and asylums, due to the
liquor traffic. He explained where
in the saloon is the enemy of the
working man, and branded as the
"devil's own lie" the statement
SO often made that the saloon
brings prosperity and good times
On the contrary he declared the
saloon kills prosperity; it drains
the money from community and
makes for poverty and crime. He
cited Waitsburg, Wash, as an
example to show that town is
more prosperous without than
with the saloon, the merchants ol
that town having recently reported
a 40 per cent increase in business
since the saloons were voted out.
Like instances, he said, were to
be found wherever local option
was established.

liquor traffic by license, low license,
