Senator Potts is making a sin
cere effort to reform the Sunday
rest law into a safe and sane
statute that can be enforced, and
in it he recognizes the principle
OF municipal rule over municipal
affairs, in leaving the question
of Sunday theatres and innocent
amusements to the people affect
ed. If the same principle of
self-government were applied to
the prohibition law by the sena-
tor and his colleagues it would
meet with the approval of 80 per
cent of the people of Idaho.
Home rule, in matters affecting
a village or city, alone, is a good
policy to pursue and results in
respect for, as we'll as a better
enforcement of law, because laws
cannot be successfully enforced

The mail has been flooded for
the past week with grocery cata-
logues from Montgomery Ward
& Co. to almost every man, wo-
man and child in Idaho. These
catalogues contain some tempt
ing bats but we would advise all
to compare the prices with those
quoted by local merchants before
sending away for any goods.
We are willing to stake our repu-
tation on the statement that the
local merchants will beat the
catalogue prices on every grocery
assortment quoted in the cata-
logue after freight is added and
will give you besides high grade
groceries which they will guar
antee to be pure and not stuff
that could not be sold in open
competition. Give the local me, =
chants a chance. They will
prove to your entire satisfaction
that they can beat the mail order
man at his own game.

FRIDAY, FEB. 10, 1911.
WHO LIED?

The Kooskia Mountaineer man
delivered himself of broadside
last week and evidently thought
he had annihilated everything in
sight or hearing. The Mount
aineer man takes himself too
seriously and is liable to break
down sometime under his heavy
load of responsibility in trying to
correct all the evils of this world.
He is sly, also inconsistent, and
takes a malicious delight in read
ing meanings into our last reply
to him that were not implied nor
even thought of, and would not
have been dreamed of by any
other than one seeking to corrupt
them into something to suit his
own undetermined purposes. The
Mountaineer man says we did
not deny and dares US to deny
that bootlegging is going on in
Cottonwood. Brave man! The
CHRONICLE maintained before
the local option law was passed
and still maintains that bootleg
ging cannot be entirely suppress
sed in any community where a
considerable majority of the peo-
pie of the community do not ia
vor the condition. 1T may be
suppressed to a considerable ex-
tent but cannot be suppressed
entirely. The CHRONICLE would
be utterly inconsistent to make
Cottonwood an exception to the
rule when it confidently believes
that "bootlegging exists to a
greater or lesser degree in every
town of any consequence in this
state" or in any other prohibi-
ton state for that matter. The
CHRONICLE, however, is not in
the "gum shoe" business and is
not sneaking around trying to
locate bootleg joints in this nor
any other town. We leave that
work to those whom nature in
tended it for. The Mountaineer
tells deliberate falsehood, how
ever, when it says our article
was a reflection on Prosecuting
Attorney Griffith and Sheriff
Overman. Those officers will no
doubt give their prompt attention
to all violations of the law
brought to their notice in the
proper shape and if they accom-
plish anything in the way of sup
pressing bootlegging will have
done as much as their predeces-
sors in office, whom the Mount
aineer held up as veritable para
