New Store
Opened Thursday.
Golden Rule Mercantile Com
pany Latest Acquisition to Com
mercial life of Oakley.
Managers Hood and Van Engelcn
Of the Golden Rule Enterprise
In this Immediate Vicinity Talks
of Methods which are Employed
bv this Great Syndicate.

Announcement is made in this
issue that the Golden Rule Store
opened for business in the Tatro
Building, Thursday, May 9th.
This store will be under the
management of c. w. England,
formerly with the Golden Rule
Mere. Co. at Burley.
Ohm Hood of Pocatello and w.
A. Van Engelen OF Burley, who
are at the head of this Chain of
Stores while in town this week
gave us an outline of the methods
employed by the Golden Syndic-
ate of Stores.
Cash Basis A Great Factor.
The TACT that we do business on
a strictly Cash basis is the most
vital factor of our success. We
pay cash for our merchandise
when we buy it and we get cash
or our merchandise when we sell
it. There are no Charge Accounts
III any of the stores.
The average cost of doing bus
mess throughout the chain du, ing
1914 ranged between 10 and 1921
per cent.
We give no cash rebates or dis
counts but we do put a price on
the merchandise that makes i.
worth while for a man to come
to us.
First OF all we aim to give the
customer who comes to our
stores something equal in quality
to the goods they could buy in
some competing store, but we
aim to and do give them lower
ts sdreS than our competitors can.
Our quantity buying enables us
to do this, for we are entitled to
and get Jobbers prices. The prices
at which we sell enables us to
turn our stocks from FIVE to six
times Il year.
We cater to the masses and we
do it i'll Il simple way. We sell
OOd merchandise at low price.
We have very few bargain sales
for the reason that we can have
none. We buy often and sell on
so close margin Of profit at the
beginning of the season that there
is no left over merchandise on our
shelves when the season comes to
close.
The fact that we have no charge
accounts enables us to know Just
where we stand at any time with
minimum amount Of clerical
work III any store.
The stores are all situated in
towns and cities ranging in pop
ulation from 1000 to 10000.
Each store manager is more than
an employe, he has a salary for
managing the store i'll his charge
and is also a stockholder in that
that particular store.
We have buying office in New
York City in charge of two Dir
ectors of the Company, who are
experienced in the buying of mer-
chandise. who buy in advance OF
the season much in the same way
as the Jobbers do.
Our Stores are alllocated in the
West and Northwest because they
were started there and have
made good.
The chain OF stores is operated
over Idaho, Washington, Ore9 Jon,
Montana, Wyoming, Utah, New.
ada, Arizona, California and
Colorado.

The Democratic Administration
After Two Years OF Fair Trial
Under the Most UnhaEnpered
circumstance.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE oNE.)

Jne democrats mace laws to shield the Amerl-
can capitalist from the competition of the
foreign capitalist, but refused to give the
same protection to "the laboring man"
The words, in the Baltimore platform are
eve appeal to the American people TO SUP
port as, in our demand for tariff for revo-
me 0nzy."
The appeal was heard, the support given,
and the promise broken.
The platform says, "A private monopoly is
lndefenslble and intolerable. We therefore
favor a vigorous enforcement of the criminal
law . against Trusts and Trust Off
Gals"
Under President Roosevelt, the dormant
Sherman law was quickened into life, and
criminal prosecutions begun against some Of
the most powerful Trusts.
Under President Taft, the courts convicted
many Trust officials and compelled them to
pay large sums of money into the public
treasury
Under President Wilson, no criminal prose-
cutions against the Trusts have been pushed;
and he has sat inactively in the White House
during all the terrible doings of Rockefeller's
Coal Trust in Colorado
The Baltimore platform declares strongly
against 'those who seek to make the Govern
ment private asset in their business" and it
promises ito protect the people from injustice
at the hands of those" who seek to thus APP
proprlate the Government to their private
business.
Is not every national banker, in this new
system of reserve banks, using the Govern
ment as an asset in his gainful occupation?
Did not the Democratic administration, in
adopting this Hamiltonian and Republican
national bank system, convert the Government
into bank asset?
If the Baltimore platform did not mean to
denounce that gerry thing, what did it mean?
Isn't this national banking system, with it's
private capitalists privileged to use Govern
ment's credit in their private business, the
very principle which Mr.. Jefferson so often
and SO earnestly condemned?
Was he not elected on that issue, and didn't
Hamiltons national banking system perish
under the Jeffersonian victory?
Didn't Andrew Jackson go before the
country, on the same issue, and did not the
Democrats of that day wage a savage and
successful war upon Biddle's national bank
system?
Yet President Wilson, Mr.. Bryan, Messrs
Glass and Owens and the Democratic leaders
in general acclaim this HamiltOnian- Republi-
can measure, as though it sprang from the
political loins of the fathers of the Democratic
party.
The long historic record Of the party is
dead against such a surrender to private citi-
zens of the Governments sovereign power and
duty to create a sufficient national currency,
and to control it, and to issue it to all citizens,
on equal terms.
This new law is violation of the Baltimore
contract, departure from the time-honored
record of the party, betrayal of the princi-
piles of the founders of Democracy.

and economy which BELTS democratic gov

the increase or salaries, and for the creation
of new offices?
That is exactly what they did
They so enormously padded the expense
account Of the Government that new taxes had
to be laid; and [ greatly fear that a new bond
issue will be next in order.
The Baltimore platform says
I'VE condemn the present method Of de-
posting Government funds in few favored
banks"
Has the method been changed? BY no
means.
In the current Treasury statement, it will
be seen that "a few favored banks" have still
got upwards of $60,OOO,0OO of Government
funds, using them as a private asset in pri-
waite business.
When the Government needed that very
money last year, it would not inconvenience
"a few favored banks" by drawing checks on
this public money.
The Democratic administration allowed "a
few favored banks" to continue ito make the
Government a private asset in business and
it redeemed its platform promise 'to protect
the people from injustice at the hands Of
those" few favored banks by levying more
taxes on 'the people,"
The Baltimore platform pledged the Demo
Gratis to "suppress the pernicious practise of
gambling in agricultural products"
The pledge has been redeemed by a law
which creates another bureau Of highly paid
officials, that Zcguzizo and regulate this ''per-
m5cl0us practise Of g0no6ziHg i1o agricultural
products."
Instead of suppressing it, the Democrats
have arranged to perpetllate it, at yoUr ca-
pense.
The most amazing breach Of faith however,
was on the sub Jet of the Rural CREDITS sys-
tenn which had been promised the farmers
You will remember that the Government
went to the expense Of sending a number of
gentlemen to Europe, to study the actual
workings Of the system of farm loans whose
purpose is to supply the farmers with money
at a low rate of interest," and on long terms
of credit
The Commission travelled all over Europe,
studied the various systems, and made reports
strongly recommending something of the same
sort for the American farmers.
President Wilson set his face like flint
against the proposition. He would not hear
Of it, at all.
Therefore, last year when he and Congress
were lavishing aid and favors on tourists,
railroads, ship-owners, and national bankers,
the farmers could not move him a peg.
lie coldly said that the Government must
not enter into any legislation to help the agri-
cultural classes.
Congress obeyed him, for he used the club
of patronage, like master YIELDS the lash.
When Congress adjourned last year, there
was storm Of Indignation all over the coun-
try, on account of the cruel discrimination
which had been practised against the farmers.
On that very day when the President and
his lieutenants had agreed to buy millions of
silver from the millionaire mine owners, they
coldly refused to do anything for the cotton
owners.
And the very cotton which they refused to

the minds Of the laymen with an idea Of
clerical learning, and also with that vague
awe we feel for anything we don't understand.
When anybody CONSTITUTES any text of the
Bible In such a manner as to contradict every
other text relating to the same subject, your
good sense tells. you the construction must be
wrong.
The construction which the popes have
placed the text about ''the rock" makes
that text contradict what Christ himself said
about the equality of the disciples, and what
each Of the New Testament books say about
it.
That popish construction not only cancels
everything Christ had previously said but it
makes Peter use meaningless language in de-
scrlblng himself as an equal Of other apostles
and elders and as not claiming any lordship
of Gods heritage.
The very thing that the pope claims, Peter
disclaims; yet the Sunday Visitor says the
pope inherits his claims from Peter
The honest old Apostle says in effect, II am
no more than any other elder, and / have no
lordship over the church," but the Sunday
Visitor says, IN substance, ''Peter was Supreme
Apostle, and Peter had the lordship over the
church, and the pope inherits what Peter
had"
Peter says he didn't have it, but Daddy
Noll swears that he did, and that the popes
were his heirs.
Daddy Noll says
"Whatever privileges were conferred on
Peter which may be considered essential for
the government of the church, are inherited
by the Bishops Of Rome, as successors of the
Prince of the Apostles; just as the constitu-
tional powers given to George Washington
have been inherited by his SUCCESSORS
That is very unfortunate comparison.
In the first place, Peter himself positively
disclaimed the possession of any "privilege'
for the government of the church He ex-
pressly tells the churches to g0venra themselves,
the more youthful to defer to the elderly mem
bers, but the members of the church govern
ing one another-that is by deliberation and
majority voice.
In the second place, George Washington
did not leave any heritage of power to be
"lnherlted by his successors"
That kind Of talk belongs to monarchies,
crowns, thrones, &c.
George Washington got his powers from
the Constitution, which the people had made;
and his successors get their powers from the
same Constitution, not from George Washing
ton.
With us, the people are the sovereign, and
nobody lnherlts any power, whatever.
We inherit lands and houses, chattels, &C.,
but not offices.
Daddy Noll does not read his Bible and
does not understand the nature Of our Gov
eminent.
Popery has filled his head with lot of
nonsense, about Peter, and a lot of nonsense
about George Washington.

steamship line officials to deceive
and defraud the United States by
sending neutral relief ships with coal
and other supplies to German men-ot-

at the beginning of the European war
Capt. X. Boyd, German naval at
tache, with headquarters at the Ger
man embassy in Washington, played
leading role, according to witnesses
who testified in the federal court
Tuesday.
One of these witnesses swore that
Capt. Boyd personally directed the
expenditure OF approximately s750,00O
which, unsolicited and unexpected,
had been deposited to the witness
credit in a New York banking house,
early in September. 1914.
OF this money, the witness testi-
fled, s35O,00o was telegraphed to the
Nevada National Bank at San Fran
cisco in one lump sum; $4,000 was
pau III several dUlouHto " lu6 ANoLth
German Lloyd steamship line here;
about $4,000 to the Hamburg Ameri-
can line here and by cable money or
der in Hamburg. and some of the re-
mainder was still on hand
All of these disbursements, this
witness asserted, were made by order
OF Captain Boyd.
This witness, Gustaye B. kulen-
kampff, German importer and ex-
porter, with offices here, and others,
testified in the trial of DR.. Karl
Buenz. Adolph Hachmeister, George
hotter and Joseph Poppinghaus, all
officials of the Hamburg American
line.
They are charged with conspiracy.
in having directed the loading and
dispatching of sixteen vessels to the
relief OF half dozen or more Ger
man warships isolated from supplies
in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
William Rand, counsel for the de-
PENDANTS, offered to concede certain
charges of the government involving
twelve steamers, and, in his conces-
sion, admitted that Dr. Buens and his
assistants had sent out the vessels, as
charged. to meet German warships In
the Atlantic and deliver their sup
plies.

nit the facts, 1t Is trying to smother
them" was Mr.. Woods retort to Mr..
Rand's offer.
Quite the contrary" replied Mr..
Rand, smilingly. I'VE are willing to
admit that s750.000 has been spent as
the government is trying so hard to

clared that England will have by next
March 100000 soldiers under arms
and will be in a position to arm and

complete their military preparations.
