THERE'LL Be NO
HOME RULE PLANKS

There will be no Home Rule"
from any of the politi-
tical parties at the platform conven-
tions to be held here June 80. This
may be accepted as a reliable pre-
aiction, says the Boise Capital News.
There will be strong declarations
for statewide prohibition both by
constitutional amendment and by
statutory enactment made in both
the republican and progressive plat
forms.
This may be accepted as an equal
ly reliable prediction.
There will be an equally strong
declaration for statewide prohibition
written into the democratic plat
form.
This may be accepted an relia-

ever, to the certainty Of the other
predictions made above.
In the progressive convention
there will be little, If any opposition,
to such platform declarations and

be adopted without discussion, or II

IT OVERSHADOWS
ALI OTHER ISSUES

Hundreds of people-yes thou
sands of people-believe that there
are other, and just as vital problems
confronting the people of Idaho as
is the liquor problem. This prob
lem, however, for years has over
shadowed everything else. In sea-
son and out of season mans rec
ord on the local option question is
the yardstick by which he is meas
ured in all public matters. His
qualifications for office, no matter
what the character of the office be,
is judged by his opinion in regard to
the saloon. The people who think
that there are other problems live in
hope that this liquor question may
be settled once and for all that other
problems may be taken up and
solved.
A problem demanding immediate
solution is the tax question. I'm

placed on Main street. It was so
decreed by the couucil at its meet
ing Wednesday night. Altho it was
announced in the Examiner last
week that the council would act on
the petition, which had previously
been filed, asking that the posts
be replaced, and giving those in
favor of replacing them an invita-
tion to appear before the council,
Sam Lewis was the only business
man in the city who was sufficiently
interested in the matter to appear
and ask the council to replace the
posts.
When the petition came up for
consideration, there was very little
discussion, as the councilmen had
all previously expressed themselves
on the question. The petition was
disposed Of by the passage of the
following resolution, which received
the affirmative vote of the four
councilmen who were present:
Whereas, The hitching posts were
removed from Main street on recon-
.nendation of the board of health as
health measure and incidentally as
civic improvement of the City; and,
Whereas, The cities generally,

zAPATA PRESERVING ORDER
 IN MEXICAN CAPITAL.
Sunored That ViIIa and Zapata Are
 Acting in Perfert Harmony,

Washington, Nov. 26.-The forces of Ieneral Zapata are preserving order In Mexico City, according to advtces reaching the state department today through various channels and the agents Of General Villa in the can lta1 are cooperating in these efforts. N was not known tonight whether any or villas troops had entered the city. An official report from American Con SUI Carothers, who is accompanying General Villa, was received tonight however, which said Villa had renew ca his promises that there would be no footing or disorder after he enter ca the capital and the rights of all citizens, native or foreigners, would be respected
 The message was sent from the Vi cinity of Mexico City, Secretary Bryan said, and while it did not state when the northern chieftain expected to en- ter the capital it was taken to inoi- cate he was fully advised as to condi- lions there and acting in complete harmony with General Zapata.
 Officials believe that the entrance of the northern army in Mexico City was to be expectsd a. any time and that Eulalio Gutierrez, named by the Az uascaltentes convention as president ad interim, would immediately proceed to the capital and be formally installed in office there with the reassembling of the convention.
 United States officials still were in doubt torigmht as to the whereabouts of General Zapata himself. No mention of his presence in the capital has been made in any message received but 1t was believed he would join Villa Ehere on the latter's arrival.
Norwich bulletin., 1914-11-27

Russian Poland still holds the center Of the war stage in public interest, but as yet 1t is impossible to say definite Iy what is transpiring there, or what the developments of the past few days have been.
 Unofficial reports still maintain that the Germans have suffered a. great defeat at the hands of the Russians in the territory lying between the Vistula and Warta rivers. and Lord Kitchener, the British secretary for war, in the house of lords, made the announce ment that the Russians had been able to check and defeat the Germans with, believe, the heavier losses than they ever sustained before.''
 Official Petrograd, however, has made no claim to a decisive victory. e1n the battle of Lodz, which contin- uAs to develop, the advantage remains secured to our troops" says the latest Russian official statement.
 This communication adds that the Germans "are making strenuous efforts to facilitate the retreat of their corps" from the vicinity of Brzeziny north ward to the region of Strykow under conditions very unfavorable for them" How many corps are in retreat here is not stated by Petrograd.-
 Berlin makes no acknowledgment of defeat in Poland. On the contrary, Ehe German war office says that the forces of Emperor William at L.odz and at Lowicz have inflicted heavy casualties on the Russians and in ad- dition have captured 10000 prisoners, 70 cannon, 160 ammunition wagons and 156 machine guns and destroyed 80 cannon. It is added that the Ger mans have not been able to "bring this fighting to a close" owing to the fact that the Russians were bringing up strong reinforcemerts.
 As to the fighting farther south the Russians say that on the Austrian front they have captured two regi- n1ents, aggregating 5000 men, to- gether with their commanders and other officials. The official Austrian declaration is that 29.o00 prisoners, 49 machine guns and a quantity of war material have been taken by the Aus trians in Russian Poland.
 In Belgium and France, except for artillery dueis here and there along the entrenched lines, no engagements are taking place.
