Idaho Officials Solicit Aid of
Government for Carey
Act Projects.
EDITORS IN POLITICS
State Raises Nearly a Million Besides
MONEY Secured by Direct Taxation
-Pocatello Is Cleaning Up Red
Light District-Boise Says 1t is I'm
possible to Do 1t.

Attorney General Peterson and
State Land Commissioner Day have
taken advantage of their presence in
Washington in connection with the
Marble Creek land cases, to urge fed
eral aid for the Carey Act irrigation
projects in this state. Director Newell
when he last visited the government
reclamation projects in Idaho stated
that the Reclamation Service had
plenty of money and was ready to
take over Carey Act projects provided
the state wished to cooperate. He
did not state exactly what he wished
the state to do; neither did he ex-
plain why the Reclamation Service
did not undertake such projects as
the Black Canyon, seeing that it had
plenty of money. Be that as it may,
however, the Idaho officials are asking
for federal aid.
Messrs. Peterson and Day have
asked that the government take over
and carry to completion the King
Hill, Big Lost River and West-End
Twin Falls Carey Act projects. 1t is
stated that both Secretary Lane and
Director Newell expressed a keen de-
sire to assist the state on these pro-
jects. A keen desire to undertake the
Black Canyon, which was originally
a part of the Boise project and to the
reclamation of which the government
is morally obligated, would look bet
ter to the people of Idaho. In talking
with the Idaho men, Secretary Lane
said that he contemplated, in the
near future, holding a conference at
Salt Lake, with the governors Of all
Carey Act states, with view to work
ing out a general policy under which
the government can cooperate with
the states in rehabilitating the meri-
torious Carey Act projects that are
threatened with failure.
General Peterson assured Secretary
Lane Idaho would be represented at
that conference and would be glad
to join with the reclamation service
in completing the projects named
Peterson was we'll pleased with the
conference Monday and expressed be-
lief that the government will extend
to Idaho whatever aid is necessary
to rehabitate these projects. He was
assured that there would be plenty OF
money available, if the government
and the states can come to an agree
ment on terms.

MAIL ORDER TEN COMMAND
MENTS.

The following ten commandments
are offered for the guidance of cata-
logue house patrons:
/, You shall sell your farm pro-
ducts for cash whenever you can, but
not to us. We do not bu from you
2. You shall believe our state
ments and buy all you need from us
because we want to be good to YOU
although we are not personally
acquainted with you.
3. You shall send the money in
advance to give us a chance to get
the goods from the factory with your
money; meanwhile you will have to
wait patiently few weeks, as that
is our business method.
a. You shall apply to your nearest
city to aid you in building good
roads so you can conveniently get
the goods from the depot, for we do
not build county roads.
5. You shall buy church bells and
church fixtures from us and forward
the money in advance, for this is our
business method; you shall collect
from the business men in your vicini-
ty as much money as you can for the
benefit of your churches, as it is
against Our rules to donate for build
ing country churches.
6. You shall buy your tools from
us and be your own mechanic in order
to drive the mechanics from your vi
cinity, for we wish it so.
7. You shall induce your neighbot
to buy everything from us, as we
have room for more money; the less
money there is in your community the
sooser we can put your local mer-
chant out of business and charge
you any price we please.
8. You shall look often at the
beautiful pictures is our catalogue so
your wishes will increase and so you
will send in "a big order, although you
are not in immediate need of the
goods, otherwise you might have
some money left to buy some neces-
sary goods from your local mer-
chant.
9. You shall have the merchant
who repair the goods you buy from
us book the bills so you can send the
money for his labor to us for new
goods, otherwise he will not notice
our influence
10. You shall, in case of sickness
or need apply to your local dealer for
aid and credit, as we do not know
you or care to.-lnlandGrocer.

NEWSPAPERS PREVIOUSLY AT.
FLICTED.

We do not know what is the matter
with Idaho journalists. Something
has seized them which is producing
disastrous results. We find Mark
Bates, editor OF the Parma Herald,
an active candidate for Congress;
George B. Parker, editor of the Pend
D'Oreille Review, and Theophilus E.
Picotte of the Haley Times, promi-
nently mentioned for Congress. 1t is
seldom that such distinction is award
ed journalist.
In all seriousness why is not the
newspaper fraternity more generally
represented in the leadership of po-
litical parties and in the incumbancy
of high positions. The newspaper
men of Idaho give more time, great
err consideration and more intelligent
efforts toward the solution OF public
questions than do the members of any
other profession. Such men as Brans-
combe of the Grangeville Globe
Wright of the Montpelier Examiner
Purcell of the Weiser Signal, Browne
of the Payette Enterprise, and Lisle
of the Richheld Recorder, in addition
TO those mentioned, are worthy of con-
sideration at the hands of the Repub'
lican party. The Progressives have

PocArELLo WILL CLEAN UP

The grand jury called by Judge
Bulge to investigate the morality of
Bannock county with particular re-
ference to houses of iH-fame in the
city of Pocatello, has made its re-
port. A number of owners of such
houses were indicted. The grand
jury recommended that -hencefOrth
prostitution be no longer legalized
by system OF monthly fines. The
city and county authorities have an
nounced that the laws against houses
of ili-fame will be rigidly enforced in
the future. The experience of Po-
catello will be watched with interest.
While Pocatello is preparing to en-
force the law the mayor and other city
authorities of Boise declare that the
laws cannot be enforced. The ques-
ton of prostitution is the real issue
in the present fight on Mayor Hodges.
Petitions demanding a recall election
were circulated because the laws were
not enforced. Mayor Hodges con-
tends that prostitution has always
existed and will always exist and the
demand for the suppression of the
traffic is a demand impossible of full
fillment.
If it be shown that Pocatello can
suppress the traffic there is no reason
why Boise cannot do it. The differ
ence in the size of the towns is not
sufficient to justify one in failing &c
do that which the other has done
The enforcement OF the law will prob,
ably get around to the question Of
public sentiment. A favorable pub
lie sentiment will enforce the law and
and unfavorable sentiment will make
its enforcement out of the question
1t is thus with a great many Idaho
statutes

delightfully."- entertained Saturday at
ternoon by Mesdames P. A. and w. E.

son for entertaining at this pleasant
special meeting OF the local Chapter

tenhouse of Nampa, swelled the COM
pany to about thirty.
A brief business meeting was pre-
sided over by the local regent, Mrs.
Ward Stone. Mrs. Stone rendered
her resignation as regent on account
of her recent election to the vice-re-
gency of the state. Her resignation
was reluctantly accepted, granting
freedom from the active duties of the
office but retaining her as honorary
regent,
Then followed an hour of play
time, heartily entered into by all pre-
sent. Dainty little hand-painted pro-
grams were distributed, each contain
ing full quota of dances, ancient
and modern, including the. Turkey
Trot, the Tango and the Bunny Hug.
After each dance designated, was a
conversational topic. These topics
covered the whole range of human in
! terests from the tariff to corns and
carpet rags. Partners were chosen in
orthodox fashion and programs were
filled out complete. The orchestra
was summed up in Mrs J. C. Rice
who presided at the piano. and Mrs.
w. f. Boulton called of the numbers
like veteran floor manager, while
a veritable buzz of conversation and
laughter marked the passing OF each
number. From Grand March to Bun
ny Hug, the program was an unquali-
! fed success.
A dainty two course lunch was SER
we'd, the hostesses being assisted by
the Miss Ellen Boulton, Gertrude Nc.
Sparren and Ruth Boulton.

A RAW EXCUSE FOR A STEAL

We are in receipt of a circular
signed by the Domestic Sugar
Producers" explaining why the
price of sugar is high" We have
never seen so lame and illogical an
excuse put out to give a plausible
apology for a deliberate graft.
Let us analyze it q little. 1t gives
as a primary reason for the advance
in price the statement that ''cut off
by the outbreak of the war from
her supply of 1900, OO0 tons of
sugar ordinarily secured from Ger
many and Austria-H Hungary, Eng
land turned to the nearest avail
able sugar market, which happened
to be New York. Backed by cash,
assuming all the war risk involved
in shipment and ready to pay what
ever prices might be necessary TO
secure sugar, British buyers invad-
ed the market. Within little more
than a week they purchased almost
1000. 900 tons of raw and refined
sugar, bidding up the market near
ly 3 cents per pound"
That statement is full of holes.
England absorbs no 1900, 600 tons
Of beet sugar annually, in normal
times from Germany and Austria.
1t is astounding that any band Of
thieves should so count on the ig-
norance of the public as to make
such a statement. That would give
every man, woman, and nursing
baby in the United Kingdom more
than 20 pounds each of sugar al
nually.
Again it says that the English
buying subsidized temporarily only
when they found it impossible to
secure prompt transportation"
That means that nearly 100, 900
tons have been shipped away since
the war started.
1t would require twenty very
large ships to carry away that
much sugar, and no twenty, no ten
no five ships loaded with sugar
have left our ports since the war
broke out. The balance of the
article is just as outrageous as the
statements we have copied above.
A little confsication and a good
deal of penitentiary would be in
order in the neighborhood of 80

gu arters of the sugar trust.-Good-
