JAPAN TO STAND ON TREATY
Fourteenth Amendment Omitted
From Land Bill Protest.

Tokio-It is learned that Japan has
decided TO omit from the text of it's
rejoinder to the American govern
ment's reply To the protest against the
California alien land law the conten-
ton that 1t violates the 18th amend
ment, and leave this point for discus
sion between Viscount Chinda, the
Japanese ambassador at Washington,
and Secretary Of State Bryan.
The reason for this decision was the
conviction that Japan's case as a ma
tion would be stronger II based on the
contention that the land bill violates
the treaty. The idea here is that the
l4th amendment, as we'll as the con-
stitutional prohibition against states
passing laws impairing obligation con-
tracts, might eventually be the basis
Of suits brought by Japanese as indi-
viduals.

in civil war in Ireland. Sir Edwards
Carson, the Irish Unionist leader,
said:
For my part. | will continue to
support the Ulster men and will take
full responsibility for their resistance.
You may seize their homes, or send

Washington, d. C.-Senator Jones,

Lewiston-For the purpose of con.
sidering the ways and means by which
the scrip and unsurveyed lands of the
Northern Pacific Railroad company in
Clearwater county can be subjected to
taxation. a call has been issued at
Orofino. Idaho, for convention to be
held In Occur d'Alene June 30.
This action comes as the result of a
widespread protest inaugurated by the
taxpayers Of Clearwater county. ex-
pressing their dissatisfaction with the
present status of title Of the lands of
the railroad company. Investi cation
developed that there are 222, 437 acres
OF unapproved scrip and unsurveyed
grant lands In that county held by this
company, and that Of this amount
taxes are being paid on only 1855
acres. In the northern counties of

showing that there are approximately
1000. 900 acres now exempted from

Boise--One Of the most remarkable
plans proposed in this state TO free
Idaho from indebtedness and place the
state on non-taxation basis was pre-
sented to the Idaho Bankers associa-
ton at Its recent meeting at Weiser
oy Senator ID. w. Davis, of American
Fails, president Of the First National
bank OF that city. He proposed the
sale OF 800, 900 acres Of land a year bv
the state TO raise sum of more than
$50, 900. 900 TO be loaned out at inter |
est, part OF the interest money to be
placed aside from year to year in a
surplus fund, thereby multiplying the
states earning capacity.
The plan has set many business men
and financiers of this city TO thinking.
Already II has staunch supporters and |
many who are in opposition TO II.
Idaho has 1884, 900 acres that are
unsold. Under the law only rs see
tions, or 10000 acres, can be sold
each year. At this rate IT would take
the state more than 1873 l-s years to
dispose Of Its holdings. The states

Whether or not the parcel post has
increased the competition OF the TO-
cal merchant is an open question. The
fact remains that the parcel post is
here and, being here, the merchant
should turn it to his own advantage.
He can do this if he will, though nee
essarily some changes in his present
business arrangements are inevitable.
Within fifty miles of his place OF
business the parcel post permits
every merchant to deliver goods much
more quickly and at lower rate than
any one in other sections. His field
is materially widened. Catalogues,
leaflets and price lists of his standard
goods, specified newspaper and cir
cular advertising may now be used to
advantage by the small merchant
where aforetime he was handicapped
by the costs of delivery and the limi-
tations of his field.
Instead Of being an obstacle, the
parcel post should be made his abIest
ally in developing his trade. =.
The trade current that has been set
ting steadily in the direction of the
big mail order houses can now be di.
verted toward the small merchant.
The parcel post allows each individ-
ual storekeeper to develop a mail
order business within his own district
at lower postal rate than any one
outside of it can ship goods to Gus
toners within it. BY adopting the
same advertising methods which the
mail order houses have used for their
own benefit and profit in the past and
organizing an efficient shipping de-
partment the small merchant is now
enabled to build up profitable trade
in greatly wiGened field.
The parcel post is educating buyers
to know that the store nearer home
can serve them just as reasonably and
far more quickly and satisfactorily
than the mail order house.
Help the good work along. -.

WHY GRANDMA
LIKES THE auto
Present Generation Can Never Appre
cate Auto Like Old Folks Who
Used Common Lumber Wagon
USED THE OLD BOARD SEAT
Board With CIeats on Ends Replaced
With Spring Poles, Then Spring
Seat and Now Auto.

The latest generation may use, but
it can never appreciate the automo-
bile like those old folks who lived
when a lumber wagon was the COM
mon vehicle and before spring seats
had been invented.
Grandmother could tell you chill
dren of riding to town on a board
laid across the wagon box. 1t had
cleats at each end which prevented
it from slipping sideways and thus
provided a certain security. On very
rough roads, however, it sometimes
bounced high enough to pass the cleat
on one end and the occupants of the
board found themselves in the bottom
of the wagon box. Grandmother used
to fold a comforter or one of those
pieced quilts of the "chain" or log
cabin" pattern and lay it on the seat
board as a shock absorber. Over
lumpy road behind a frisky team like
grandfather delighted to drive, a ten
mile ride to town or over to Uncle
Jim's house was plentiful assistance
to digestion.
Somebody discovered or invented
the spring seat. Never a thing OF
beauty, it was an unspeakable COM
fort. 1t consisted of two hickory
saplings set at an angle of about As
degrees lengthwise the wagon box, one
on each side. Across the heaven point
ing ends of these the board seat was
nailed or bolted crosswise and the
thing was done. 1t sprung delight
fully, a revelation of comfort, what
ever it's appearance may have been.
Then later came the half spring seat,
and later still the spring seat in all
it's glory, with diamond springs at
each end and back to lean against.
When this great evolution had been
accomplished the lumber wagon had
reached it's towering point as pleas
ure vehicle.
The democrat wagon came later.
The democrat wagon was stylish
conveyance when your mother was
girl-if you are old enough to have
been born long enough. Closely fol-
lowing it came the buggy. There had
been chaises and country carts and
various two and four wheelers be-
fore, but the buggy, an open buggy,
was something pretty fine and grand.
To it succeeded an infinite variety
of covered vehicles, and then the auto
mobile came sinking and grinding
and rafting into being. Everyone re-
members the first autoes. Everyone
can see what ten or twelve years
have done toward their Improvement.
But to appreciate the beautiful
