MORELAND

The entertainment and Christmas
tree at the Amusement hall on
Christmas eve was carried out to per-
lection and a grand success in every
way. The scenery of the ancient city
of Bethlehem, also Joseph and Mary
and the live donkey on the stage,
representing the birth of Christ, the
star of Bethlehem above, was all as
near a true likeness as human be-
ings were able to make it. The house
was packed to its full capacity and
all will remember it, especially the
children, to be one Of the most pleas
ant times of their lives, and may all
live to see many, many more like
occasions.

for another line to that part of town

when that is laid it will be satisfac-
tory. At present it is one of the

SPACE AND DISTANCE
INTERMARRIED

Traveiing statesmen and wholesale
houses give Blackfoot a high rating
as a business town. They say it Is q
safe town in which to do business
the percentage of losses being low.
The business men pay their bills we'll,
whether they make collections or not
Now comes the telephone company
and say that Blackfoot rates high
as telephone town. At the close OF
the year 1915 it has 704 phones in
operation, including the country
lines. BY the first of February II
will have 760. The population OF
the town is about 1000 and usually
the town of that population has very
much less than six or seven hundred
phones.
A few days ago the company con-
nected so phones in one day. They
had tried to get It done in time for
Christmas greetings. but II was de-
layed until the day after. When
the line was opened for business II
wiped out distances with q master
stroke. II brought all the families
to town by the turn OF a switch; It
took the hello-giri out to all the
farms and ranches the same instant.

WOULD SHOW
US ALL

This is an age of seeing the i'm
possible, and of adjusting ourselves
to it. Women say they want to vote,
and vote they do. The steamer IT,
tanic was built unsuitable, and the
same night that they celebrated its
unsinkableness it struck a berg and
promptly sank They said the loss
of life could not have been so great
If 1t had sunk near the shore, and
promptly there was collision in the
st. Lawrence river within sight of
two shores and tne Princess of Ire
land went to the bottom taking her
cargo of human freight with her. The
masses of Europe and especially the
Socialists said there could be no more
wars because the common people
would not permit 1t, and the Social
lists would prevent it, wnereupon
there came bolt from clear sky
and the masses and the Socialists
lined up to fight their brothers across
the borders with such valor and de-
termination as never had been wit
messed before. Nations relying for
safety upon the sacred contracts with
the greatest powers on the earth, saw
themselves ground to dust by their
supposed protectors. A peace COM
mission advocating peace on earth
and insisting that they could bring
It about, took an ocean voyage and
had one round of quarrels till they
broke up the party and started home
in groups, the sorest of the sore.
All of which goes to show that
the Vets may be called upon to en-
dure drouth and that the Drys may
be drowned in booze and be buried
in 1t. This world Is still a puzzle
and 1t behoeves us all to be moderate.

BOISE GETTING
SETTLED

As heretofore mentioned in these
columns, Boise has been having some
rare experience the past few weeks,
Good people have been prosecuted,
law abiding citizens have been prose-
cuted and crimes have been fixed up
on people who were elsewhere when
the fancied crimes were alleged to
have happened. And yet the perse-
cutters and prosecutors and perjurers
are being given their liberty and rope
to hang themselves. A sequai to some
OF these matters has come in the
past week in the resignation Of City
Attorney Reddock, who says he is
sick Of the Job. He had been city
attorney for previous administrations
and had conducted prosecutions when
Il seemed advisable, but for the past

KILL RABBITS AT TABER

The dry land farmers in the Taber
district have been feeding their
winter wheat crops to the jackrab-
bits about as long as they intend,
ana a mass meeting of interested
farmers has been called to meet at
the Taber school house sharply at
1880 O'Clock, Thursday afternoon,
January 6, to plan campaign to ex-
terminate the pests. U. s. Elmer, a
government poison expert, will be
present at that meeting and he will
tell the farmers how to go about
it to get rid of the thousands of jack
rabbits that infest the Idaho plains.
Mr.. Elmer plans to stay here for
several days and manage the cam
paign, provided there is enough in
terest shown by the farmers them
selves. Arrangements have been made
at Blackfoot for large quantities Of
strychnine at cost, to be used In the
campaign. The government expert
knows the most effective methods OF
preparing and distributing the pol
son to get the jacks.
Every farmer. who Is interested IN
protecting the growing acreage OF
wheat from the pests, should show
his interest by attending the meet
ing and cooperating in the campaign.

few weeks things had been running
with too high hand for him and
he asked to be released.
1t will be remembered that Boise
imported an evangelist named Bull
gin, who attacked sin wherever it
was said to exist. Evidently his in
formation came from rather unre-
liable sources or he raised up an
impracticable bunch to run down the
sinners and punish them. AS we
have stated before, some of the
frightful blunders they made hailing
innocent people into court and TAX
ing others out of beds of sickness
to punish them fer supposed crimes,
were men who said on the witness
stand that they did this work because
they felt it duty-swearing there
was crime where there was none, and
other acts. The Idaho Statesman pub
lished cartoon of Boise "Bulgin"
with goodness, and the people raised
$4,000 to pay the evangelist and
three assistants for months work.
The prosecutions started during the
revival and continued for a few
weeks afterwards. Now the city at
torney quits in disgust and says,
mo more of this for me-"
Who can measure the injury done
by these erratic, but well-meaning
followers of the evangelist?

GAINS OF
PROHIBITION

? 1t is said that but for the Civil
War, prohibition would have been a
great issue in the United States dur
ing the sixties and seventies, but that
great tragedy diverted attention
wholly to settling the question of
chattel slavery and delayed prohibit
ton.
AS the conflict over slavery wore out
and modified the extreme views of
opposing forces, so the present con-
fiict is bringing people to a middle
ground on the liquor question, not
withstanding temperance is winning
and holdig firmly all the ground it
gains.
The radical element among tenn
perence forces, when it gets into
power, disgraces itself as emphati
cally as the carpet bag politicians did
in the south after the war when they
were in power, and sensible people
recognize that caution must be ex-
ercised in every step or the expected
improvement will fall into disrepute.
The year of 1916 opens with IS
dry states in the union, three under
entire license, and % under local
option; Idaho, Washington and Ore
gon being among the New Year addi-
tions to the dry column. The his
tory of the movement indicates that
no substantial step backward will be
taken, and that the radicals Of the
opposing elements are fewer than
have generally been expected at each
given stage of the fight. The view
of many people both for and against
pohibition are tempered when the
transition comes to their state or
county, the step is gradual and not
without its troubles and blessings,
and the spirit of moderation prevails
to a surprising degree. The worst
bridges expected do not have to be
crossed, and matters run more
smoothly than anticipations pictured.
The change of public sentiment
concerning liquor and liquor dealers
has been very great IN Idaho
in the past 10 and 20 years, and
John Barleycorn Is rapidly falling
into disrepute He is classed as an
outcast by unnumbered multitudes,
who would have fought for his recog-
milton in earlier years, and who SCOT
fed at the idea of stopping the traffic.

treading the floor. The large con-
sultation room with it's tables and
seats for large parties makes an ideal
place for canal companies to gather,
and Mr.. Jones has clientele of i'm
portant companies who rely on his
office to guide them Alright in their
complicated transactions.
, In the front office are very fine
fling cabinets, typewriters and what
ever furniture is needed for convent

prompt and precise work in legal &C
