The basket ball team has played
three match games lately, one at wa
pello which resulted in a score OF III
to II in favor of Wapello, and after
that the Wapello team played here'
the score being 25 to 7 In favor OF
Basalt. The Kinbal team played here
the score being 2 to 6 in favor OF the
home boys.
The Basalt Cooperative Mercantile
Co. has just made an inventory which
shows that institution to be in a very
prosperous condition.
All the students from here who
are attending the Kicks Academy,
have returned after spending the hoi-
idays at home.
Basalt boasts of the best public
school in it's history.
John Quinn and wife have gone to
Texas.
J.. Pinkston has gone to Illinois.
The Basalt Cooperative Co. sent a
carload of hay to Los Angeles, Calf,
last week.
A great number of our people went
to Shelley last week to see the Clon-
niger Co. play, which proved to be
a success in every detail, the hall
being filled to it's capacity each night.
Some differences have come up be-
tween the athletic club and the man,
ayers of the amusement hall and the
boys are about to 60 on a strike.

torney? If he had to lease to be a
member of the legislature in order
to fill the other position, does the
governor have the right to appoint
someone to fill the vacancy? The
governor evades this point and says
that as he had never accepted the
designations these men have been
members all the time. In that case
they have illegally held the other
places, and by the governors sane
ton. There may not be any partic-
ular harm in this, but If the law
was made to be observed, what good
reason has Governor Hawley for hav-
ing it violated through evasion?
Then there are other phases of it.
Some Of these members are said to
have accepted and travered on rail-
road passes while their designations
we're in the hands of the governor,
and this would be no violation of the
law If the resignation was in effect,
but If they come back and act, they
we're either doing criminal acts in
riding on the passes or else the gov
ernor has the right to fill vacancies
in the legislature by appointment.
Every member of the legislature who
wanted to ride ON a pass, might file
his resignation with the governor
with the understanding that he was
not to act upon it, and then the
whole body would be in a position to
receive passes and use them until
such time as they reached Boise to
sit in session again or at the first
session after election. In this way
the effect of the law would be entire
ly lost.
The very kindest thing that can
be said of the governors course Is
that he thinks laws r made to be
evaded, though he said in his cam
paign speeches that he would so rig
idly enforce the laws.

MANY LINES OF ACTIVITY.

Some idea of the scope of the Men
and Religion movement can be gained
from information coming out from
Boise to the effect that meetings r
being arranged there in, the lodge
rooms of fraternal orders and in un-
ion labor circles. That is being done
to present the claims of this move
ment to the men of unions and lodg-
es. 1t has a message for all kinds
and conditions Of men, and those in
Boise are endeavoring successfully to
arouse. an interest among all classes
who may find profit in the work of
the movement.

HAWLEY THE EVADER

Several members of the legislature
resigned after the regular session ad-
journed, and accepted and qualified
for other offices. Now they are ad-
vised by the governor tnat as he has
not accepted these designations they
are still members of the legislature,
that Is, If they resign the positions
they have been filling in the mean
time.
This brings up the question,
When is a legislator a legislator"
Also, what is he when he has quail
fled for the other office. such as

(Alhion. Nuggetl


Idaho knows something about Will
liam D. Haywood. There was plenty
of evidence to convict. him at Boise,
but the jury did not do 80. This man
made a speech the other day in New
York in which he said: "My heart
is with the Mcnamara boys, so long
as they are working in the interests
of the working class. l don't think
any Socialist can be a law-abiding
citizen"
Sounds like Haywood. We don't
believe the Socialists are law-break-
RS If they are not, they should at
once kick Haywood out of their or
%ganization. The laboring men can
not afford to put up with the Hay
woods, the McNamaras and their ilk
cause of labor is too sacred to
permit such firebrands to be in any
way connected with it.

WE are told that all stories

1t is not standard by reason of
payentage. but it is legitimate by
performance 1t has the peculiar
and unique quality of being true.
So here is the story
