creasing. For several years the tide
of emigration across the northern Dor.
ders Of the United States grew 10 such
proportions as 10 cause anxiety 20 gov.
ernment officials and others. In 1912,
97,o5l American citizens went TO Can.
ada, while only 3s,Sl7 returned. In the
eleven months ending May 81, 1914,
only 6s,3e6 citizens Of this country went
over into the Dominion, while 44,l27
Americans returned.
The above news dispatch, ap-
pearing in the daily papers last
week, is veEy significant to The
Menace.
The "wise heads" at the ma
tional capitols of the United
States and Canada will discuss
this situation with the apparent
wisdom Of owls, but we venture
they will never arrive at the real
reason for the falling off in
American emigration TO Canada.
We wish to inform them in ad-
vance, however, that the falling
off will be still greater when they
make up their statistics for the
balance Of the year 1914.
As little as they think about it,
we wish to inform them that The
Menace is going to have some
thing to do with this question of
emigration to Canada.

Newspaper Hypocrisy

The average daily newspaper is
a lying, hypocritical fraud. TAX
ing the peoples money and play
ing to the galleries with the thing
that will bring in the greatest
amount of advertising patronage.
That they are two-faced and
continually try to carry water on
both shoulders can be discovered
by any reader who is willing TO
pursue any one of them closely
for as long as a week and note
the Inconsistencies that appear.
Hearst's papers are fair samples.
For instance, in the Chicago
American of Jtcy 9th we find an
article written by Rev. Thomas
B. Gregory, in which the Ameri-
can editor allows the correspon-
dent to use this language when
dealing with the public school
question and the separation of
church and state:
The men Who made this nation and
established its institutions were wise
They knew history, and they Sid no,

So they decided Dat the people should

have no official copartnership with the
churches, and that the peoples schools,
like all the other public institutions,
should be secular-purely and simply
secular, rather than half secular and half
ecclesiastical.
And in this they did we'll To have
done less would have been in the end

pies money is appropriated for sec.
tartan purposes, and sectarian shibbo-
leths are permitted to invade the pre-.
cincts Of our public school system, the
great experiment in democratic govern.
ment on this continent will have failed
and the curtain will have fallen upon
the attempt al free and progressive gov
eminent in our beloved country.
What's the matter with thatf
Nothing-absolutely nothing.
II is the sentiment The Menace has
been trying to disseminate all
these years. You might search
the files of The Menace from the
time the paper started to the pres
ent time and you wouldn't find a
clearer, more pungent or timely
statement on the separation of
church and state.
The point is simply this: Prob
ably in less than thirty days the
American will come out in a whole
front page with pictures of priests
and other prelates and a eulogy
on the Roman Catholic church as
long as Jacobs ladder.
The American is exactly like
the great majority Of other daily
papers. II has no policy. II has
no principle, and il has no other
object than to make money. It
breaches patriotism one day and
lauds the enemies Of patriotism
the next. II plays for suckers and
catches them in every stream.
The only hope for the people is
for the people to make plain TO
the daily papers where they stand
on these great questions. When
they print something worth while,
write them and tell them about il,
and then when they print this
Roman slush tell them about that,
too, and tell them in unmistakable
terms They'll soon get wise.

DROWNED IN WARM SPRINGS
BlackfOot boy met Fate Late Sunday
Afternoon

Sunday afternoon about three
o'clock, Kenneth Cazier, son of Will
liam d. Cazier of Blackfoot was
drowned in the reservoir four miles
south of American Falls. The boy,
with his mother and party of rela-
tives and friends were picnicing at
Warm Springs and at the time of the
accident was wading with a number
of other little fellows where the
water was shallow, while the older
people were bathing in the Springs.
The child was evidently unfamiliar
with the dangerous places, so got
beyond his depth, and before the
other children realized his peril was
drowned.
Search for the body was immedi-
ately begun, but it was not recovered
until the following morning.
The father arrived from Blackfoot
and the body was taken there for
burial Monday night. The child was
thirteen years of age, and the oldest
of five boys.
The boy and his mother were visit
ing the Adams and WINNER families
two miles west of town.-American

COMMISSIONERS
REGULAR SESSION
Greatest Grist of Road Bills in
History

The board of commissioners met
Monday morning and began examin-
alton of the bills for roads and
1every bill was carefully scrutinized,
and the whole day was consumed in
the consideration of road bills alone.
The full list is given in this paper
as part of the accounting for the
high taxes, and is the first time the
spirit of the law has been complied
with in what the statute says the
board shall have done-namely:
such publication as will clearly in
form the reader what the money is
spent for and to whom it is paid.
The way they have always been done
there are dozens of claims sold to
the banks and bound up together
and simply published in one line as
assigned accounts, paying hundreds
or thousands of dollars to many in
dividuals but conveying no informa-
tion to the public as to what it was
for. This paper has at its own ex-
pense and without compensation,
! gone through mass of bills and seq
regated them so that each claimants
name is given and the amount he
received, and in general way the
information as to what ne did or
furnished for the money.

slight increase is explained by the
