MINISTER DISCUSSES POLITICS

Last Sunday evening" Rev. w. r.
Jewell, pastor of the Baptist church,
spoke on the subject of Christianity
and Modern Politics." and said in
part:
Christianity and politics are not
on the same level Politics may rule
the world in way, but Christianity
shall rule the world from above.
Christianity has place in politics
and In business and amusements, as
a guiding principle. The church that
stoops to play politics has lost it's
calling. The minister's place is not
on the street corners talking politics
but in the pulpit teaching principles
that apply to and mould political
action. If Christianity is practical it
must influence every activity of life
and not run parallel to it without af-
fecting it,"
He applied the Christians principle
to politics as 1t is, and in many ways
showed how selfishness and the anx-
iety, to win lead men to act upon the
very opposite of the Christian prin-
cipie. He applied it to reciprocity
with Canada, the election Of Mayor
Jones of Toledo, the business man
of New York, and the real estate man
of Blackfoot, who carried his patriot
ism so far into business considera-
ton that he declined to vote at the
school election for fear his name
appearing on the voting list would
enable the tax collector to find him
and assess him for poll tax.
In the latter case he asked what
is the difference between the man who
would sell his vote for three dollars
and the man who would suppress his
own vote and forfeit his privilege Of
franchise to save three dollars-three
dollars to be expended again in his
own community for the common good
and perchance to grade up the street
in front of his own door.
The speaker went on down the
line applying the principle to the
many acts of life that have to be met
either in harmony with a principle
or out of harmony. :sof how it adds to
the burden Of all to disregard the
Christian principle, and lightens them
to follow it. ~.
Next Sunday evening he will speak

The pear blight which is now doing
great deal Of damage to the pear
treessin and around Biackfoot is not
a disssS of this district alone, but
is found lin other portions of the state.
The amount of damages that it has
done runs. well up into thousands
of dollars and white the amodnt Of
damage done to t4estfses of this,dis-
trict is notsyery great as yet, but it Is
getting a|stronghold, and if it is not
taken care of at this time and the
infected parts of the trees cut out
and burnt up it will In very short
time destroy the, pear trees Of this
section. The blight is not only con-
fined to the. pear trees, but affects
apple trees as we'll. Mr.. w. T. Haw-
key, deputy state horticultural in
spector has made thorough inspec-
ton of the different orchards lin his
district and has requested the grow
ers to eradicate the blight as fast as
1t appears, although in looking over
some of the orchards he has found
that the growers have neglected to
cut out the blight after being, noti-
fed to do so.
This disease has reached such a
state that it must be taken care Of,
and If the growers neglect to cut out
the blight, the law will have to be
enforced in a stronger manner than
it has been heretofore.

Why the ball game Sunday was
called Vets versus DRY" is past
human understanding. To the writ

were in the wet" lineup. The

QUEER LAW-QUEER DINER

A recent issue Of the Pocatello
Tribune, in speaking of the local OPP
ton law and it's effects, calls attention
to how it turns dining car wet and
dry by turns, and makes the en-
ployes on the car into bartenders and
back again into ordinary people just
by running down over the roadbed.
More changes might be seen in trav-
cling Twenty Leagues Under the
Sea-" but what we are most interest
ed in knowing is: when can they
drink the bottle of beer?" Editor
Livermore tells when you can buy It.
and when you cannot buy it. and
then leaves you with the bottle up
IN the air without any Information as
to whether or not you may attach
your lips to 1t or hold your private
drinking cup under the neck Of the
bottle. Here is what the. Tribune
says.
For instance, take the mornine
train and start west from Pocatello
and travel to Weiser. From Pocatel-
10 to American Falls you cannot buy
a bottle of beer. From American Falls
to Owinza you can buy bottle OF
beer. From Owinza to Ticeska you
cannot buy bottle Of beer. From
Ticeska to Orchard you can buy bot
tie Of beer. From Orchard to Nyassa

FIGURES DO NOT LIE, BUT

In the last twelve months the con-
sumption of liquors broke all records.
and the people of the United States
consumed over 100000 gallons
more OF whiskey and over 113,OOO,-
900 gallons more of beer in the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1911, than they
did in the fiscal year ending June 80,
1910, according to the National Model
License league, which is another
name for the brewing interests of
the country.
The league asserts that it has re-
ceived the figures from the govern
ment and that they show total con-
sumption of distilled spirits for the
year just closed of 134,6O0,193 gal
Ions as compared with consumption
of 126,384,726 gallons in the pre-
vious year. The total consumption
of beer for the fiscal year of 1911
was 63,316,851 barrels or 1,959,822,-
381 gallons as compared with 3d.
544,775 barrels or 1,845, 888,025 gal
Ions for 1910. The combined in
crease is 121,049,S23 gallons which
represents an increase of 1.3 gallons
per capita, using census figures. The
total per capita consumption is now
1929 gallons. The highest previous
consumption of distilled spirits was
for the year 1907. The slump that
followed that year continued until
1909 and then took an upward turn
to the present apex.
From these figures the league con-
cludes that they constitute terrific
indictment of the prohibition move
ment as a failure and afarce. The
movement that has spread prohibit
ton over more than one-half of the
map began in 1898. At that time the
per capita consumption of liquor was
about 1871 gallons, and now after
all the whitening" of the map by
the Anti-Saloon league it is 22.29 gal
Ions. If the prohibition movement
had not been checked in the past few
months it would be difficult to put
an estimate on the increase that
would have been caused by adding
to the territory in which people buy
in wholesale lots and consume ac-
cordingly. An increase in the amount
of liquor consumed in licensed terri
tory may mean nothing more than
business prosperity, and an increase
in temperate drinking, but an in
crease in the consumption of liquors
In dry territory must be interpret
ed as an increase in lawlessness and
intemperance.
We are patiently awaiting the re-
ceipt of figures from the Prohibitions
fists and the Anti-Saloon league,
which, according to these organiza-
lions, will prove conclusively that
prohibition is success, that the rum
demon is tottering and that the Ii
cense league is composed wholly Of
.inebriated liars. Figures will not lie
II left alone, but it is remarkable
what they can be made to do when
manipulated by those who desire to
prove almost anything.

France a Marvel Of Thrift.

The thrift of France is wonderful.
It enabled the nation to bear the enor
NOUS losses of the Franco-Prussian
war, including the payment of 5,000,-
100000 francs as war indemnity. with
no decentralization of trade and with
hardly any depression Of industry.
Out of 100000 French electors
9,O0000 have money in the bank or
invested at interest or own land.
Everybody saves. In various savings
institutions there are 100000 ac-
counts of only 20 francs or less each,
and the total number Of all savings
accounts reaches 100000 One mil
lion five hundred thousand small in
vestors hold probably 20,000O00,0OO
francs of government bonds. Of r.
100000 French householders 100000
occupy their own homes, paying no
rent. The country holds over 100, )O,-

securities and saves, available for in

but more generally known as the
tiger of Santa Julia. The man was
a murderer and thief, and he is well
out of the way. After the Mexican
courts had determined what should
be done with him they decided to SEN
tence him to die twice, to serve a life
sentence and pay a heavy fine, even
though at the time of his incarcera-
