The county exhibit for the Inter-
state fair. under the supervision of
]. F. Brown, has been able to secure
the second best booth on the fair
grounds for the exhibit. The num-
Der of the booth is II, the second
from the center aisle and it is con-
sidered the second best but with the
best exhibit it will be an easy thing
for this county to cop off the first
prize. The size of this booth is
% IL x Is feet. The exhibit be-
longing to the Potlatch District from
Kendrick is spoken of by all visitors
in this city from the different parts
of Washington and Idaho as being
the best they have seen so far.
This gives encouragement to thore
who are trying to make good show
ing and winning. The fair next
Saturday September the 21st will be
a great thing for this part of the
country as it gives every person a
chance to see what is going on in
the different parts of this district
and also give them an idea of the
things that will be doing at the
county and interstate fair as well as
the on-Clarkston fair. The
other towns are having little home
fairs on the same date, thus provid-
ing the same thing for their home
people who will not be able to attend
the outside fairs. Let everyone n
this entire Potlatch country, this
means all the ridges tributary tc

the hub, visit this city on the fail

PROHIBITION

governments whole attitude on the
manufacture and sale Of whiskey is
hypocritical. The government
ought to decide whether whiskey is
a good thing or a bad thing. Then
it could deal with the question
with some sense. If whiskey is
good thing every farmer should be
permitted to manufacture his corn
and rye into whiskey and his ap-
pies into brandy and sell his prod
uct without tax Or license. If
whiskey is a bad thing it should
not be made and sold at all. If
whiskey debauches and pauperizes
the people, creates crime and scat
ters degradation what moral right
| has a great government to encour-
age its sale? The government may
need the tax, but that ought not to
be the question of first considera-
ton. Do the people need the
whiskey? The government fights
yellow fever. The government
will make war even on the ticks
that infest dumb brutes. But the
government will not raise hand
against scourge that operates all
the time, day and night. Some
! of these days, perhaps, congress
will wake up to the fact that there
is another big trust. The Whiskey
trust has this government by the
heels.
Both statewide prohibition and
local option laws are powerless to
prevent the introduction of whiskey
in prohibition territory so long as
the express trains and freight
trains are permitted to carry whis-
key from wet" territory into dry"
territory. When the people vote
whiskey out of a county and pre-
vent its sale over the bar, why is
the law not broad enough to say
also that the outsider cannot sell
and deliver whiskey in that county
in bulk by means of the railroad?
They tell us that law preventing
trains from carrying whiskey into
prohibition territory would violate
the interstate commerce act, which
is perhaps true. But such law
would not violate any principle of
good reasoning. The interstate
commerce act violates the law
which another law gives the people
an absolute right to make, So
there you are. This country has
not got its whiskey laws on very
straight.
/" :. "
These are some Of the things to
think about when proper settle
ment Of the whiskey question Is
under consideration. First Of all, If
whiskey is going to be manufacture
ed always, proper laws should be
put in force that would protect a
county dry" by local option or a
whole state dry" by enactment,
The government should assist In
enforcing prohibition laws instead
Of multiplying them.
