Deporting Hon Fiends

Every so often cities put forth an
effort to get rid of undesirable citi-
zens. Some times it is the denize1s
of the underworld; at other times it is
the gamblers. At the present time
the city Of Pocatello is Kidding itself
of dope fiends-persons who have un-
fortunately became addicted to to
some drug habit. 1t is undoubtedly
true that no community likes to be
infested with an undesirable class of
people. But what is really accom-
plished by running the dope fiends
out of one city into another? The
person himself is in no wise benefit
ted; society has not effected the re-
clamation of derelict; and the COM
munity itself is free from the unde-
sirables but a verv short time. 1t
would seem that it is about time that
serious Efforts were put forth by the
state to reclaim these otherwise val
liable members of society. There is
no permanent good accomplished by
driving them from city to city. We
are now speaking particularly of those
who have become addicted to some
drug habit. Other classes of unde-
sirables leave of their own accord as
soon as they are no longer permitted
| to ply their trade. But what can the
poor, unfortunate dope fiend do with
himself?
Pocatello is doing what every other
city does every once in while. These
unfortunates will drift to other towns.
As soon as noticeable number es-
tablishes itself in town that town
will drive them out. And so 1t goes,
working unnecessary hardship on the
unfortunate and doing society abso-
lutely no good at all.
Many Improvements by Short Line

that the Oregon Short Line would
build from Caldwell or some other
point in this section to Winnemucca

will do this or not it not known, A,

In addition to the foregoing are the
United State land offices, of which
there five, each having a register and
the salary of each officer is $4,000 per
year. These offices are located in
Idaho. There are clerkships at Wash
ington and posts in the diplomatic

filled by persons from this state. All
in all the matter of patronage is very
important to the Democratic party
and particularly so to the politicians.

Federal Patronage a Source of
Worry to the Democrats of
the State
DUBOIS SERVES NOTICE
Will Oppose Appointment. of Nor
mons to Prominent Positions-Po-
catello is Running Out the Undesir-
able Citizens-Improvements being
Made by Oregon Short Line.

The one thing that is troubling a
great many people in Idaho is the
distribution of federal patronage. The
Democrats are worried as to which
faction will be able to control the
situation. The Republicans are Won
dering how long they will be left in
office. The two factions in Idaho
seem unable to get together on any
fair working basis. To add to the
confusion President Wilson is show
ing a disposition to hold up appoint
ments pending the passage of the new
tariff bill. AS Idaho's entire delega-
ton in Congress is Republican he will
be able to very little with the patron
age lever so far as we are concerned.
1t is a powerful instrument, however,
in those states which have Democrat-
ic members in Congress. The aver
age man will not look kindly upon the
use of federal patronage to force
members of Congress to come to the
very little difference between this
and any other form of bribery or in
timidation.
The federal patronage in Idaho is
of great Importance to the two fac
tons of the party. The faction that
controls the patronage is very apt to
control the party during the next
four years. In consequence the Du-
bois and Nugent factions are working
night and day for control The Of
fices to be filled in this state pay an
nual salaries aggregating $4,000
These consist of the presidential post
offices of which there are 20. These
are the larger offices like Caldwell
Boise, Pocatello, Idaho Falls, Lewis
ton, Wallace, Standpoint, etc. The
salaries of these offices range from
SLIGO to $500 per annum. The sala-
nv of the postmaster of Caldwell is
$500, Nampa the same, Payette pays
$500, Emmett $500, and other towns
in proportion. All together the pres.
idential offices in Idaho pay $l18, 4OC
per annum. Other positions to be

 This information is regarded by some as being serious and for no other reason than because there seems to be no reason evident for the moving of the ships The absence of an appar- cnt cause has led some newspapers and people into conjectures.

 The fighting which has occurred within the past few days was prob ably favorable to the allies but all the accounts are believed to have eman- atcd from Bulgarian and Greek sources
 The Turk still lives in great meas urc in medieval fashion. When he wins he seldom bothers his head about whether other people know 1t or not. For this reason it is assumed in some quarters that his position is not quite SO bad as the reports of the allies would make It and that If he could secure money he would still be ready to fight for long time to come.
