In politics he was, as he often said,
Independent but never neutral" But
he would never consider any elective
or appointive position. Early in Presi-
dent Taft's administration the sug-
gestion was made in newspaper re-
ports that he might be appointed am
bassador to France. He commented
editorially as follows: "The editor
of the Star is amply occupied, sus-
tanned and satisfied with his present
job. He regards himself as holding
a place of greater responsibility and
usefulness than any within the gift
of the president, or the electorate

RRALEY URGES ROAD BUILDING

G.. w. Braley returned the first of
the week from ten days in the hills
to the eastward. He is greatly in
terested in having a road kept open
between Blackfoot and Chesterfield
and other high mountain valleys on
upper B'ackfoot where all the land
is being taken up and farmed. Mr..
i3raley says they are raising grain
and hay and stock, and they will have
fine dairy products for market and
will be good customers for our fruits
and vegetables. He urges the Black
foot business men to see that the old
road is kept open and in good repair.
In speaking of the activities up
in the hills, Mr.. Braley said the whole
c; untry is alive with sheep; that he
/ stood in one place and counted Is
sheep camps, and there were scores
OF others in depressions where they
We're not easily seen. The grass is
abundant, there are new settlers
everywhere, and the principal an
noyance to travellers is the new fences
and gates or the new roads around
the corners. The population is
doubling up and the "Highlanders'
nearly equal the "Lowlanders" in
numbers.

GREAT MAN CALLED-DowN

Theodore Roosevelt, the great con-
science awakener, who advocated abb
solute honesty in public officials, has
been made the butt of joke in the
Barnes trial by them showing that
during the Republican national con-
vention in 1908, President Roosevelt
did not attend the convention but sat
in the White House and conferred
with his political lieutenants by long
distance phone and had the tolls
charged to the public.
Seems to us we heard of somebody
in Blackfoot making loud acclaim OF
being the only perfectly conscientious
ind honest candidate for state posi-
ton and his official telephone record
was drawn on him by some dry joker
at the psychological moment. In
both cases it was hot air VS.. cold
facts.

be made without previous notice; and
that the government guarantees to
repay all deposits on demand with &C.
crued interest.
The leafiet will soon be printed in
% foreign languages for distribution
through local post offices. The
foreign-born citizen has taken very
kindly to postal savings, and >litera-
ture in his own language will be of
great assistance to him. In recent
article, Postmaster General Burleson
commented ON the foreign-born de-
positor as follows:
Upwards of 100000 depositors
now have accounts in the opstal saw
ings system and they represent every
nationality on the earth. They also
represent almost every known occu-
pation-professional men, theatrical
people, mechanics, laborers, fisher
men, pack peddlers, etc. But the ma
jority are wage-earners,, and of this
class the foreign-born largely pre-
dominate. A census of depositors
taken by the post office department
shows that approximately 40 per cent
(20O,0O0) of the depositors are

foreign-born citizens and they own
more than SO per cent of the deposits
splendid evidence of the confidence
of our newly acquired citizens in the
ability and good faith of their adopt
ed country to fulfill it's obligations.
There is another reason which led
immigrants, unfamiliar with our
language and business methods, to
turn to the government to safeguard
their humble savings and that is the
disastrous experiences many of them
have had by the failures of bogus
private banks" differed by swind-
lers of their own tongue who have
preyed mereilessly upon their loneli-
ness and credulity."
Postal savings receipts have brok-
en- all records the past year. During
the eight months prior to April 1
there was net gain In deposits Of
$19,O00,000, as against a gain of
$8,O0O,000 for the same months the
year before. Thousands of new &C
counts have been opened and the mil
lions made up largely of hidden saw
ings have been turned back into the
channels of trade just at a time when
there was pressing demand for every
dollar.

number 231 were passed and sent to
the governor, who disapproyed So of
them, leaving standing 1877 new laws.
Numerous laws are amended, others
are repealed. Included in the list of
new laws are a number of important
acts. The most important measure,
however, that was passed declares
Idaho a prohibition territory or dis
trict and does not become effective
until on and after January 1, 1916.
The new local option law which
passed the legislature as senate bill
No. so is probably the strictest of
its kind on the statute books of any
state in the Union. 1t is believed it
will absolutely prohibit bootlegging
or the illegal sale or use of intoxicat-
ing liquors in counties which are
now operating under the local OPP
tion laws and where they have had
violations, while its terms will apply
to the state as a whole when the
statewide prohibition act goes into
force and effect.
The Iowa abatement act, which it
is expected will make the bawdy
houes and dens of ill-repute a thing
of the past in this state, also be-
comes effective today. The new law
coins the expression, moral nuis-
ance" as those places where acts are
committed that are indecent or often
sive or the conducting of a place
for the purpose of prostitution, lewd-
ness or designation. The county
attorney or any resident citizen OF
any county may file a complaint
against one who permits his property
to be used for such purposes. Heavy
penalties are provided for violations
of the terms of the act or for per.
hitting property to be so used.
Among the more important laws
now effective in this stateare the fol.
Loving:
An act prohibiting illicit traffic in
narcotic drugs. This law makes il
unlawful to sell, to manufacture fol
sale, to furnish or give to any person
or persons within this state any Co
caine, alpha or beta ucaine, opium
morphine, heroin, choral hydrate OF
any sale or compound of any of tn,
foreign substances.
An act making unlawful the ap

NEW POSTAL SAVINGS BANK

Every person in the United States
ten years old or over may open an
account in a postal savings bank after
July /, according to an instructive
leaflet on the postal savings system
just issued by Postmaster General
Burleson. This important extension
of the service will be made possrple
by permitting persons living in COM
munities so sparsely settled as not to
justify the designation ftheir local
post offices as regular postal savings
banks to open by mail.
Governor Dockery, third assistant
Postmaster general, who has direct
supervision of postal savings, was SO
impressed by appeals from all over
the country to open postal savings
accounts by mail that ne took up the
task some weeks ago of working out
la feasible and safe method for meet
ing a demand we'll illustrated in
letter from Saline county Missouri
an, who resides many miles from a
postal savings bank.
Having a few hundred dollars
saved from so years of hard and as
siduous labor and skimping economy
on the part of my wife and myself,
we concluded to deposit it in the pos
tai saving bank Of. We wrote
to the postmaster at that place and
received reply to the effect that none
but patrons o fthat office could de-
post in that office which is very dis
appointing news to us. Our little
farm is not large enough to support
us and land is so high that it is i'm
possible for us to buy more with what
little we have saved and we are so
old that we can't labor much now and
we would be SO glad to lay by at
least enough to put us away in de-
cency."
Under the plan adopted by the
postmaster general for opening by
mail an intending lepositor, residing
where there is no regularly designat-
ed postal savings bank, will apply to
his local postmaster, who will see
that necessary Identification data is
prepared and forwarded to nearby
post office authorized to accept de-
posits. The intending depositor will
then be given permission to forward
his first and subsequent deposits by
money order or registered mail direct
to the postmaster at the banking
point for which receipts or certifi-
Gates will be issued. He may with
draw all or any part of his postal
savings by mail and on demand to.
gether with any interest that may
be due him.
The new leafiet points out that any
person ten years old or over. may
open an account in his or her own
name; that an account may be opened
by married woman free from any
control or interference by her hus.
