FLY HUNTING
CONSIDERED "A
GREAT SPORT
Game is Plentiful and it
is a Virtue to be a Game
Hog-Little Strength is
Required.

Fly hunting is without its litera-
ture, and yet it is almost the only
form OF hunting that keeps the
hunter amused in his own home
II is always available; the game is
plentiful. and It is one of the few
sports in which It is a virtue to be
game hog. Since the amount Of
strength required is small, the game
is open to young and old and to
members of both sexes. Poise is
the matter of most Importance, and
anyone who is proficient enough
win a swatter to strike down a fly
on a swinging window cord or tip
one of the shade of the gas lamp
without shattering the mantle need
feel no hesitation about going in
for billiards. For success IN wing
shot swatting, an extraordinary
sharpness OF eye is essential, for
wing-shots only stun the game and
unless the hunters eye can follow
it to the floor to strike a second time
with wonderful quickness the score
is lost. Flies raised in a fiy-hunter's
rooms become wary as wise old
crows. and when o house has been
hunted for a few days a consider
able amount of nature study enters
into the sport. At the same time
the eye must be trained to detect
shams or much time may be wasted
in creeping up to swat a small rip
in the cloth OF the window seat.
Don't swat flies near sharp edges of
tables or chairs where a blow will
bend the wires Scare your prey
into the open. follow its fight and
bring it to earth in some more ad-
yantageous hunting grounds. And al
ways remember an animal clever
enough to walk upside down on a
ceiling is not to be despised for
hunting purposes just because It
doesn't weigh as much as a duck

that which it is intended to discour-
age; when it imposes burdens. both
moral and financial, on the people.
when it is supposed to tighten those
burdens; when It places a premium
on the violation Of all that is sacred
in friendship and subverts tho prin-
cipIes of government, then It Is
high time for decent people to abate
that law.
The present Idaho local option
law is the most vicious ever fastened
upon a free people. The old blue
Laws Of New England were tame
in comparison. Even among the
monarchies Of old there is no pre-
cedent for such a law, and we call
ourselves a free peoplel
Ex-President Roosevelt holds the
Ohio county local option law, a law
very similar to the Idaho law, but
not so vicious, directly responsible
for the fatal riots in that state last
year; President Taft holds similar
views on the results Of local option.
Every student of government knows
that prohibition utterly fails to pro-
mote temperance.
we make this statement for the
benefit of those who would make
easy the path of virtue by legisla-
ton: THAT NO PERSON HAS
EVER BEEN SENT TO HEAVEN
BY THE ENACTMENT OF A STAT
UTE BY THE IDAHO LEGISLA-
TURE, UNLESS HE GAINED ABB
SOLUTION THROUGH THE INTER
CESsION OF CHRIST BEFORE BE-
ING HANGED ACCORDING TO
LAW. Government cannot create
morality nor give a passport that
will be honored by st. Peter The
path to the Pearly Gate doesn't lie
through the Idaho legislature.
If temperance people would spend
a little part of the time and energy
and brains in working for temper
ance through moral suasion and edu-
cation that they spend In rtying to
pass a futile prohibition law, the
world would grow brighter and bet-
tet.

consumption Of distilled liquors in
prohibition districts is increased,
rather than diminished, while the
use of beer and wines is diminished.
On the contrary. in districts where
license Of saloons prevails. the con-
sumption OF distilled liquors is con-
stantly diminishing. In Canyon
county drunkenness has increased
under prohibition. as it increases
everywl7 30 under the same condi-
tons. There has been a greater
consumption of distilled liquors In
Canyon county since prohibition was
adopted, per capita, than during the
same period preceding. We agree
with our prohibition friends that
this is not fact to be proud of:
that it ought not to be so; that over
indulgence should decrease all the
time. under all conditions. It is a
fact that we are loath to record,
BUT 1T IS A FACT, NEvERTHE-
LESS. And we charge prohibition
with being directly responsible for
this result.
The cause is plain. The moderate
drinker, unable to purchase a drink
when he wishes It, is driven to buy
in larger quantities. Instead of
drinking from glass he drinks from
a oottlo or jug. and has it always
with him. You can measure a drink
from a glass but you can't from a
bottle and you will get drunk try
ing. Instead of drinking by retail,
the users of intoxicating liquors are
now drinking by wholesale. and the
effects are disastrous to temperance.
You will say that this ought not to
be. and we will agree with you; but
you prohibitionists are the ones who
have usurped the Cody prerogative
OF saying thou shalt not" and
caused this condition.

In considering the local option
question the voter should study II
both from a moral and business
standpoint Ii our present law is
conducive to morality we should be
slow to change 1t on account Of II
being inimical to our business well
fare. Morality and business must
supplement each other. as they are
inter-dependent.
After an experience OF 20 months
we don't believe there will be a
business man, fair-minded business
man, in Canyon county that will
claim that the local option law has
helped from a business standpoint.
If there be, he is in such a hopeless
minority that his testimony would
not be considered. The preponder-
ance of evidence on the other side
is utterly overwhelming. Boise
claims that Canyon county "dry" Is
worth 100000 more a year to her
than Canyon county wet" and we
believe that is below the limit.
Other neighboring towns in the sur
rounding wet" territory are reap
ing a rich harvest from the shekels
produced in Canyon. Canyon coun-
ty is being drained of cash and if
there is any other reason for 1t
than being dry" county surround
ed by ''wet" territory, we have
failed to discover it. Tt isn't pleas
ant to admit this, but it's Gods ewn
truth.
The question then hinges upon
whether local option is conducive to
morality sufficiently to offset the i'm
mense financial loss entailed by ii on
our county, or whether 1t promotes
temperance at all.
County local option is prohibition

"Does Not Restore Confidence

the confidence of the people of this
valley. The arbitrary manner in
which they sought 10 place the
rates In effect without notice and ap-

for their patrons has caused a deep
rooted fear in the minds of the peo-
pie of this valley as to what their
general policy in the future may be-
The feeling exists that the reIns may
be loosened In one place, only to be
tightend in another. In other words
the people have come to believe that

as strongly as it does the removal
of the toll rates between the points
mentioned will not affect in any

III yoh can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming on you.
If you can trust yourself when all doubt YOU
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If YOU can wait and not be tired of waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies
Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good talk too wise;
Ii you can dream-and make dreams your master
Ii you can think-=and not make thoughts your am
If you can with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same
Ii you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves TO make IA trap for Fools
Or watch the things you gave your life to- broken,
And stoop and build EN- up With wornout tools;
Ii you can make heap OF all your winnings
And risk it on turn os pitch and-tpss
And iose and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe word about your loss
If you force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold ON when there is nothing in you
