THE LAW IS IN EFFECT.

The revised amended and fortified local option law
passed at session of the Legislature is in
effect local option territory it is violation of the
law to have in your possession any alcoholic liquors The
housewife who has been in the habit of keeping little
brandy on hand for mncemeat is criminal under the
laws of Idaho 1t is claimed and believe that Idaho
has upon her statute books the most drastic antquor
law in existence. We trust that everybody will cheerfuy
obey the law If you happen to have little drop in the
cellar your plain duty is to destroy it at once you do
not you par with drunkards and booteggers and
may be hailed into and sent to prison.
The feature of the present law is that it places
all equality. There is good in liquor of any
kind and nobody has any right to have in his

state.
The enforcement of the law is a problem which
worry the conscientious officer. He must be i'm
partial He afford ignore the violation in
and insist upon its enforcement in another instance
The officer cannot insist upon searching sutcaSes and
consistently avoid cellars, panres and clothes closets
If he attempts search every suit he will sooner
later get into grave and serious trouble If he does
not search every violations Of the law will go
punished What is the poor officer to do? He will prob

The Tribune believes that Mayor Boyes felt that he

idea In practice it is foolish one as shown in this

THE PRESIDENT ISN'T THERE.

An inquiry that thousands of honest Democrats have
asked themselves and each other Isl why don't President
Wilson get rid of Bryan, Daniels and McAdoo" These
Democrats convinced that President Wilson is high
minded patriot and statesman AS matter of fact he is
nothing of the kind. who will surround himself
with such Bryan Burleson Daniels and McAdoo1
and retain them solely because he is afraid to do other
wise is none better than the worst of them.
There is question in the mind of the public but that
Mr. Bryan remains at the head of the cabinet solely be-
cause President Wilson is afraid to remove him. The
President knows that Champ Clark the choice of the
party and honestly the nomination Mr. Bryan was
able to beat Mr. Clark in the Baltimore convention Presi-
dent Wilson is afraid that Mr.. Bryan will do the same
thing again except that he himself, will be the victim
rather than the beneficiary President Wilson has prob
ably sized up the situation exactly right We imagine that
would not take much of power in the party topple
him Good politics is always craftsmanship nor
patriotism.

THE GRASSHoPPER
SITUATION

GraSShoppers have appeared since
the weather has become warm this
spring. In numbers that threaten SER
lous damage to clover and other
crops IN some parts of the county.
ne greatest danger seems to be on
the Wilder and Greenleaf Bench and
on Deer Flat. where the hoppers were
numerous and very destructive last
year.
From present indications, unless
some concerted effort is made by the
ranchers, clover seed crop is in dan
ger OF being entirely DESTROYED and
other crops are bound to suffer in a
greater or less degree.
individual effort in such a conting-
ency is bound to result in consider
able expense to the individual MAKING
the effort. without producing any
great results. Therefore, community
or organized effort in the control
OF the hoppers is very strongly rec
commended. Various methods of com
batting the pest have been tried with
varying results. Probably poison halt
or sprays are most effective Homer
dozers have been tried with some snc-
cess, but the expense is said To he
almost prohibitive.
OF the poison bats which have
been tried. the following are recon-
mended by the United States DeDart-
ment of Agriculture and by several
state experiment stations.

In the section visited by grasshop-
