Church Vote

still far outnumbers the saloon vote The trouble is
in the division of this reputable The call of the
church is the most influential in the land, and no
voter worthy the name of good citizen whether in
out of the church, will refuse to follow where the
church wisely and sanely leads. How far should the
church go in her leadership Certainly to the point of
protecting from the assaults Of the saloon power the
officials who trying honestly to perform their duty
If the church abandons these men, it compels the
cessful politician to look to the saloon, whose servant
he becomes The inevitable result is saloon-conroled
city government. Most men will agree to the theo-
retical part of the fight against the saloons the line
of cleavage comes when, in any contest, it becomes
necessary to make choice of candidates for office.
When reach this point, political prejudices begin
to crop out.
A Proposed Plan for Unity of Action.
The following plan is proposed for bringing about
the political unity of the voting constituency OF all the
churches. This plan is proposed with reference to the
election of aldermen in the spring as we'll all
nicipal elections
First, Let each church appoint member for
each 300 enrolment or fraction thereof, as member
of ward advisory committee. These committeeman
should be able successful men, but who place the
cause of clean government before any partisan
sideration Let these prepare conservative
platform outlining the things they want the aldermen
to do. Let the different candidates for aldermen from
all parties be invited before this committee. Those
who agree favor the policies outlined in the platform
and who are otherwise acceptable to the committee
should then be invited to appear before the church
voters so that the church voters can become &C
quainted with them.
Referendum Vote To Be Taken
After this has been done, let the voting con-
suency of each church take referendum to their

VOLUME VII

The people of this nation have as heritage the
best theory OF government so tar conceived. Self
government is still more or less experiment; it
measures only 1876 years back the date of the Decla
ration of independence So long as we rural
people, we were safe, but are becoming urban at
terrific speed Experience is demonstrating the truth
of Wendell Phillips statement that the day was COM
ing when the cities of this nation would strain in
sttutions as slavery did That day has already
arrived The forces of good and evil contending
for the control of cities Truly the government of
the cities presents problem demanding the thoughtful
consideration of every loyal citizen Involved in the
settlement of the problem is the question of leadership
of these opposing forces While there are many fac
tors undoubtedly the real leaders are the saloon on
the side and the church the other. The church
dare hesitate to accept this responsibility of leader
ship of the great army of good citizens battling for
clean government in cities, if she is to fulfill her
mission It is not possible for any church be true
to it's purpose takes its religion to itself and enjoys
the comforts which from that religion, but, I'm
concerned lets the world carry its burdens. So long
as injustice and nquity continue long will there be
militant work for the church to do
The Saloon and the Church in Action
The test of efficiency of the leadership is in the
ADMINISTRATION Of the government, not only in
the cities but in the villages well. The saloon is
open and brazen in its leadership; it publishes the
names of candidates for the highest Offices who are
subservient it. On the other hand, few candidates
have wanted known that the church vote favor
able to them. The powers of darkness have sought
the light while the of light have had to work in
the shadows. If such conditions continue to prevail
some future American historian will be another Jere-
miah But it is not necessary for such conditions to
prevail the results of investigation printed in this
paper from time time prove that the reputable vote

many CONTESTS
ARE WACED FOR
COUNTY SEATS
Lewis County Staging an In
teresting Battle in Which
Vollmer and lilo Are the
Contestants.

no and Vollmer are staging an in
teresting county seat removal fight in
Lewis county which IS being watched
in all parts of the state. Both towns
are determined to secure the perma-
nent county seat. NeZpercc, temporary
and present county seat, is an inter-
ested spectator to the conflict. Lewis
is not the only county in the state
that has its county seat removal trou-
bles. Owyhee county, where Bruneau
IS contestant for the county seat,
now at Silver City, is also in the race
for permanent county seat honors. In
Cassia county Albion wants to remain
the permanent county seat and Burley
is determined to have it. In Adams
county, where Council is the temporary
county seat Fruitvale, Council and
New Meadows are contestants for it.
The following statement has been
issued regarding the ilo-Vollmer coun-
ty removal seat case:
When Ilo declared herself as a can
didate for the county seat the pro-
gressive people of both lilo and Noll-
ner met together to consider ways and
means to locate the same at this point
regardless of which town got it.
After thoroughly considering thu
matter from all standpoints it wa:
decided that Ilo had the best chance
TO win, so a committee was formed
consisting of citizens of both village:

other words, he went off on a big,
long toot He wanted with him some
one who had had experience in hay
ing a good time" so he took e. e.
Bender, mentioned above and paid his
expenses to Chicago and through the
southern states. Miller's life since has
shown that he got full advantage of
Benders experience.
w. j. Durant-A physician with
small practice. No reason is known
here why he should sign such mis-
statement relative to Martin.
E. L. Dickey-A druggist, who had
his license taken away from him about
the time Martin was county attorney
because he was caught engaging in the
Bookkeeping business, which constitutes
a considerable proportion of his bust
ness as druggist.

ent of Mr. Martin when Martin was
elected county attorney. Il wish the
people could just see the two men to-

primaries by Mr. Martin and was de-

the coincidence of the actions of Leo

community will not be questioned, said
this morning:

No Charge Against Martin.
In this statement published coinci-
dentally with the return to Boise OF
Mr.. Grunbaum. there is no charge what
ever against Mr.. Martin. There Is

The news was made public by Jonas
Cornelius, brother of the bride, and
his sister, who returned to Green Bay
Monday after visit to Chicago, where
tile wedding party went after the cere-
mony at Stevens Point, Wis.

by successful stories and dramas and
who is a graduate of the university OF
California.

and since then has been engaged in a
propaganda for the uplift of her race
She has realized since childhood that
the future hope of the American In

Cost of Building Creamery.

During the past few years large
number of creameries have been built in
the United States. Many of them have
been successful from the start, while
others have failed after few months
operation, and some were never even
started. An investigation of the cream.
cry business in several states by Sec
rotary Wilson of the United States de-
partment of agriculture has shown that
the cause of many of the failures was
due to lack of sufficient number of
cows, which should be not less than 400.
and that Others failed because of inn
proper organization, in the case of CO.
operative creameries, and excessive cost
of building and equipment. Many cream
cries have cost about twice their actual
worth and were not of the type suited
to the locality in which they were built.
The cost of creamery building about
2s bv AZ feet will vary from 81 900 TO
81 800. dependent upon the locality, the
construction and the cost of material
and labor Such a building usually con
sists of main working ROOM engine and

CINE. combination churn with q capacity
of 600 pounds of butter, and other neces-
sary apparatus, will cost approximately

ment will handle from 100 to ! POO
pounds per day. II refrigerating ma
