Bird Protection.

If the decision OF Judge Pollock in the United

migratory game law is unconstitutional should
hold good the way will again be opened to the

So-callcd strong writing is likely to be most
effective with those who already agree with its
ideas. On the other hand, it may repel those who
disagree. By its use many writers devote virtu-
ally their whole lives to convincing readers al
ready convinced and to repelling readers already
unsympathetic By their method advocacy OF
cause often does harm. 1t may, however,
hcartcn and inspire But here there
is likely to be damage through the encouraging
of the ideal of force and through the increasing
OF i'll will.

The Shoe Machinery Decision.

ton oil the company really began, however, as Tar
back as 1911. In that year a Federal grand jury
returned indictments against various officials OF
the company for violation of the Sherman law
The United States lower courts sustained demur-
rers OF the defendants to the greater number OF
the counts in these indictments. The government
took two OF these dcmurrcrs to the Supreme Court
and lost its case The suit just decided a civil
process and had relation to the previous indict
mcnts.
In this civil case, which against the
pany as a unit, the members OF the United States
District Court. sitting in Boston, has decided
unanimously that all the contentious OF the gov
eminent in its suit against the company were
without merit The governments petition for dis
solution OF the company was therefore dismissed
An appeal WILL of course, be taken to the Supreme
Court by the government; but the opinions writ
ten by the member OF the District Court are so

to be degeneracy Cwithout attempt

two reports have dared to intimate
that the chief cause was the low
wages paid by our supposedly phi
lanthropic corporations.
Every solution thought of has been
tried and found wanting except what
is without doubt the real one; that is,
raise wages and watch the result.
This, however, will require some real
craftsmanship and independence on
the part of the lawmakers. Have they
got the interests of the people at

automobile riders know the true con-
ditions. But in order to continue
our masterful policy of marking time,
a commission and various committees
are investigating what they should
already know: and they will, when
the people have forgotten the issue or
been directed to some more pressing
evil, deliver an exhaustive report
with due ceremonies. 1t will be filed
among the archives where it will find
cOmpaniOnship with many former
efforts of like character.
Another and very faVorite avenue
for investigation is the social evil
known as prostitution. Just why the
odium of this word should be con-
fined to social evil is hard to deter
mine. Capitalism is perhaps more I
often entitled to the term. But there
is no other subject that yields such
prolific opportunities for our reformer
to fairly revel in its delightful re-
searches. He glories in the OppOr-
tunities afforded him for inVestiga-
tons and rare associations under the
protecting wing of the power of the
commission.
Prostitution has existed since the,
appearance of mankind. Yet COM
mission after commission has inVes-
tigated and reported on conditions
that were known to exist, and as re-
liable and complete a reOpTt could
have been made by reprinting for
mer report. This would not satisfy
the people of today who demand that
something be. done. Judging by the
past, the authorities do not intend to
do anything of a remedial character,
but following the fashion of the day
appoint a commission and the people
subside.
Every commission that has been at
all consistent, and all of them think
they are, has developed the fact that
many of these erTing people COM

that Paris Martin, the senior mem
ber of the firm, a few years since, won
an alimony case for his client who
sued his wife for alimony, it being a
case of national note consequent to
the fact that only one or two similar
suits had ever been instituted.

At the Pinney Theatre, Boise


Boise will this year get back on the
theatrical map. Last season but five
road shows came to Boise. The
show famine extended to all the west
ern country, due in part at least to
the war, but indications are that dur
ing the coming season the west will
have it's share of attractions. Owing
to the California expositions many
big shows will open on the coast and
make Boise on their way east. The
list of attractions already booked
shows that Boise people will have the
opportunity to see a better run of
shows than ever before.
Manager Mendenhall of the Pinney
last night gave out list of the at
fractions already booked for Sep
tember October, November and part
of December. Probably the greatest
of these is the engagement for one
night of the Henrietta" with an all
star cast, including William H. Crane,

ferro. An attraction which ranks in
the same class as this one is THE

WILSON GIVES THE COST.

NAMPA-Alex Wilson, superin
tendent, has handed in report which
tends to show that the state is not
losing anything on the barley crop
produced on it's much-discussed farm
connected with the institution for the
feeble minded According to Mr.. Will
sons report the state will make
above his own salary, interest on the
investment and all other production
costs, nearly Sc an acre net. The
cost, he finds, amounts to $19.02 per
acre, while the gross return as given
in his report is 1875 an acre" This
implies yield of so bushels per acre,
which is said to be about what was
received when the grain was threshed
on Friday. The barley field consisted
of 10 acres.
AS further evidence that the states
farm has some soil on it capable of
growing crops, Mr.. Wilson exhibited
large ear of matured corn and a
sweet potato of good size. He de-
clared that both his sweet potatoes
and the corn are mature now, though
local grown tuebrs of the sweet va
riety have not reached the markets,
and most corn fields are still deep
green.
Here are Superintendent Wilson'S
barley growing cost figures, on an
acre basis:
