CHARITY DAY WORK FOR
THE DELG|ANs COMPLETED

On Monday afternoon the local Bel
gian Relief Committee shipped to the
Missouri Charity Committee at St.
Louis thirty-five barrels Of -four, two
boxes Of canned food stuffs and about
one thousand pounds of clothing.
The stores have made liberal dona-
tions. A large number of women
have knitted and crocheted during
the last weeks. Of the second hand
clothing, much was in such condition
that it was practically as good as
new. Many treasured garments
were brought forth from chests,
where they had been carefully pack
ed in lavender awaiting a convenient
season for re-maling), and sent
across the seas. The ladies of the
various church societies renovated
all of the clothing, and the local
cleaning establis I'M n t
cleaned and pressed any garments
which needed repairs as contribu-
ton to the work.
The daily papers gave much space,
for which we are especially grateful
because their space is valuable for
Christmas advertising.
We have regarded it as privilege
to have some small part in allevia-
ting the terrible suffering in the war
zone, and to all who have assisted in
any way the Committee offers its
cordial thanks. With this gift, the
contributors regardless of creed or
nationality send the earnest wish
that this greatest of all wars may
soon end, that the 'war drum may
beat no longer" and the ''battle flag
be forever furled in the Federation
of the world"

butors is furnished by Miss Sproul

spective Of politics, have concluded to
organize a Home Rule league, and
extend the organization into other sec
lions OF the state.
The purpose of the league will be
to demand of the men who will be
candidates for the Legislature IN the
primaries, that they vote for a home
rule bill. but win not demand OF these
candidates that they refuse to vote to
submit the constitutional amendment.
THE idea is, on the part Of the home
rule people, that they be given an OPP
portunity to try out their views on the
liquor question during the two years
prior to the vote being taken on the
constitutional amendment There is
nothing in this request contrary to the
planks in the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties.
THE movement is in the hands OF
the strongest and best men of this
city, and all men engaged in the liquor
business will be requested to refrain
from taking any part in the matter
THE people of Ada county are sim
ply red-hot over the action Of the del
gates Of the several parties for having
voted for prohibition, and the men re-
sponsibe for this action will be cas-

deavor to place in the field for the
primary election home rule" legisla-
tive tickets. This 1t Is understood now
in local political circles is to be done
in those counties where the candidates
for the legislature on the Republican,
Democratic and Progressive tickets
are committed to stand by the party
planks. If wet candidates in any of
the three parties will run regularly
without committing themselves they
are to receive the wet and, 1t is hoped,
part of the dry vote.
Local Leaders Active.
Disgruntled because dry delegation
was sent to the recent state Repub-
lican platform convention here instead
of wet one and asserting the dele
cation was not representative Of the
wishes of a majority of the people of
Ada county, prohibition leaders
here are said to have started the state
wide movement in behalf OF what Is to
be known as a home rule" league.
This league expects to secure its
strongest support in northern Idaho,
where already complaint is being
heard over the action of the platform
conventions in adopting prohibition
planks and the open assertion has re-
peatedly been made that the members
Of the three parties, having been dis
franchised, are not bound by the plat
forms or to support the candidates
who run on the platforms.
Letters Are Issued.
