Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1909-09-17

Holt & Rhoades, the Salmon
river stock men, shipped nine
teen carloads of beef cattle out
of Sites last Sunday morning to
the coast market, the shipment
being made from that point be-
cause of the difference of SIS per
car between the rates over the
prairie line and the Clearwater
line. This makes the second
train load of cattle shipped from
Sites this summer that would
have been shipped from Cotton
wood except for this difference
in freight, to say nothing of
smaller shipments. This exor-
bitant rate charged over the
prairie line is not just to the
stock men nor to the residents of
our city, who lose business every
time a shipment is made over
the river line which should come
here. 1t is a condition which
our business men should do their
best to change and the matter
should be taken up with the traf-
fic department of the railroad in
a forcible manner at once. We
have already lost too much be-
cause of this discrimination in
rates to let the matter rest as it
is much longer. Let some con-
certed action be taken at once.

The death of E. H. Hartman,
the railroad magnate, last week
removed another great man from
the ranks of American citizen
ship. Hartman was one of the
greatest railroad financiers this
country has ever produced and
at the time of his death was
largely interested in or controlled
more railroad and other concerns
than perhaps any man of the
age. Contrary to expectations,
his death caused no panic in the
stock market and it is said that
competent men have been chosen
to control the interests he owned
at the time of his death. 1t is
doubtful, however, if a man will
be found who can handle things
to as good advantage and over
come obstacles of such magni-
tude as has the one who has Just
been laid to rest.

sons given for the stand taken
are that local option does not i'm
prove conditions in regard to
temperance, while doing away
with all revenue, and that be-
sides being an infringement on
personal liberty it tends to breed
deceit, trickery and hypocrisy.
The signers of the statement de-
clare themselves in favor of
strict regulation of the liquor
traffic, to enforcement of present
laws regulating the same and to
the passage of such new laws as
may be necessary.
The CHRONICLE believes these
men are right. So long as liquor
is manufactured its traffic cannot
be successfully prohibited. Con-
sequently the only way to handle
it is by strict regulation. The
CHRONICLE advocated this meth
cd of handling it long before the
local option wave struck this
state and we have not wavered
in this opinion even down to the
present writing.

The local cream station is now
offering 354 cents a pound for
butter fat, the highest price that
has been offered here since the
station was established. At such
prices as this the successful
farmer cannot afford to be with
out a good bunch of milk cows
as the monthly income from
them will more than pay the run
ming expenses of the farm, leav-
ing the receipts from all other
sources to swell the yearly pro-
fits.

WOMEN'S GOOD WORK

In temperance work, on school and health boards, in prison re- form, in peace conferences, in factory and shop inspection, in civil service reform, in attempts to solve social and industrial problems, women are not only a factor, but in many cases the chief workers. It seems almost inexplicable that changes surely, as radical as giving women the vote, should be accepted as per fectly natural, while the politi cal right is still viewed some what aSkance. The time will come when one shall look back upon the arguments against granting the suffrage to women with as much incredulIty as we now read the arguments against sheir educatlon.-M Mary E. Wool ley, President of Mt. Hoiyoke College.

Dry Year in Three States.

Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 1.-State- wide prohibition laws went into effect today in three Southern states North Carolina, MiSsiss- ippi and Alabama. Georgia is the only other state wherein statutory prohibition exists, the law having been in operation one year.
 A new law which seeks to reg ulate the liquor traffic in Louisi- ana became effective today, and although the law is not so sweep ing in it's terms as a state wide measure, prohibitionists contend that if strictly enforced it will drive saloons out of the liquor strongholds.
 Having won their state wide fights in four states, the anti saloon forces have greatly en- larged the South's dry area, and they are now lining up for early campaigns in several other states
 The prohibitionists contend they will be able to secure the passage of a state wide bill be- fore the Tennessee legislature, which meets this month. In other states, notably Texas and Arkansas, the voters probably will be called upon this summer to vote upon a constitutions amendment for prohibition.

The tariff controversy contin- ues, notwithstanding the holiday Bull throughout the country, and will continue to be the main topic of discussion until the end of the extra session to be called by the new president after the 4th of March, for the revision of the Dingley act. A long time ago, when the Moorlsh pirates crept from their lair at Tarifa near Gibraltar to levy tribute from ships sailing upon the Mediter- fanean, they were engaged in a Iawless piratical warfare upon trade, which it was necessary for civilized nations to suppress. These pirates have been long since quieted and their seaport, Tarifa, from which the name of the system came, is abandoned. The legalized tariff tribute upon commerce still nouriShes in it's most fragrant form in the Ding ley act. The question is, how much longer will this legal sys- tenn of piracy be permitted to levy tribute upon the industries and trade of the greatest nation of the world?

The public schools deserve more attention than is usually given them. Parents as a rule regard their entire duty in this connection discharged in paying their tax and properly clothing and sending their children to school. There is reason to fear that many look upon the school room as nursery to relieve them of their troublesome chil- dren. The public schools cannot accomplish the full measure of their possibilities unless the pa rents join with teachers and di- rectors in attention to pupils.
