PROTECTION OF HOME

The attorney general of the State
will be upheld by the great majority
of the people of Idaho in his interpre
tation of the "search and seizure' law
when he announces that no person OF
officer has the right to invade home
without the authority of warrant OF
unless he, the officer, has reasonable
right to believe that liquor is being
kept there for illegal purposes.
Even the most ardent supporters of
the Idaho laws opposed to liquor have
felt that the law as it has been con
strued went a Unite too far' in Civ
ing officials the right to unwarranted
and unrestricted search of the home.
There is no question but what the great
majority of the people of Idaho think
and rightly so, that the open sale of
liquor in public places is wrong. There
is very little likelihood that such sale
will ever again be permitted. The laws
against the sale of liquor are in the
main good laws, and deserve the sup
port of all classes of citizens. To search
the home for liquor which may be there
for legitimate purposes is another
matter.-ldaho Falls Register.

REPUBLICAN PARTY UNITED

The return of Progressives to the Re-
publican fold was very strongly indi,
Gated in the elections of 1914 and is con
clusively proven by the count of votes
IN 1918. Democrats who try to explain
away the results of the vote on NOvem-
Der 2 on the theory that local and not
national issues were involved, fail to
take broad view of the whole situa
ton and disregard the drift of events
from 1912 down to date. All the signs
show that the people regard the tariff
as the main issue and that PrOgressives
see no way to restore the country to a
sound economic principle except to re-
unite with the Republican party.
No test that has arisen furnishes any
evidence of Progressive party strength
lanywhere-east or west. On the CON
trary, the Progressive vote has fallen
loff everywhere, both at the polls and in
the primaries.
The Progressive ticket was success
ful IN 1872 in six states-California,
Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania,
South Dakota and Washington. In 1914
there was no test of Progressive
strength IN Minnesota or South Dakota
while III the other four states there was
Ia Progressive slump, in most cases
amounting to catastrophe accompan-
lied by Republican gain of impressive
proportions. The figures tell the story
thus:
In California in 1914 there was a Pro
grossive slump of more than 28 600
votes; the Republican gain exceeded
100000. The recent defeat of Governor
Hiram johnson s non partisan election
bills is another indication of return to
Republication and recognition of the
clear cut issue between the principles
'of that party and the policies of the
Democratic party.
Ia Michigan, at the last voting, the
Progressiyes fell off more than 10000,
the Republicans gained 100000.
In Pennsylvania, on the vote for
United States senator in 1914, the Pro
gressives lost more than l7S,0O0; the
Republicans gained nearly 100000.
In Washington the Progressives fell
off more than 10000 votes; the Repub-
licans gained more than 10000.
In Kansas Mr.. Murdvcx IS party vote
in 1914 was more than 5000 votes less
than Roosevelt's in 1912, while his Re
publican competitor won the toga by
gaining nearly 100000 votes more than
Taft had. Senator Curtis made his cam,
paign on the tariff issue alone.
Illinois is. another state where the
PrOgressives have claimed large
strength. Let us see. In the senatorial
election of last year the Progressive
candidate in Illinois fell off more than
$4,000 votes, while the Republican can
didate gained more than 1000.
Colorado, too, has been held up as
Progressive stronghold. Yet the Pro
gressive loss there in 1914 was over 49,.
900 and the Republican gain was more
than 10000.
If the elections of 1915 stood alone
rs an indication of the trend of public
sentiment. there would be little room
for doubt, but when taken in connection
with the changes that took place in 1914

YOU'LL HAVE TO HURRY

Christmas parcels at the earliest posi-
BILE date, to wrap them securely in
boxes or with heavy paper and to
write addresses plainly thereon The
Thickness of gifts depend upon their
being received on or before Christmas
day, and this can only he insured by
early mailing. Parcels may bear the
words. "Do not open until Christmas y
or similar inscriptions. The practice
of mailing packages late, in the hope
that they will reach their destinations
on Christmas day, is likely to defeat its
own object on account of the congestion
of the mails.
Parcels may be insured for fee of

the value does not exceed $500; for
5 cents where the value does not ex-
coed $500; for 10 cents where the
value does not exceed $1,000, and for
20 cents where the value does not ex-
coed $4,000.
Christmas stickers should be placed
only on that portion OF the package
which does not bear the address, and
should not be used at all upon parcels
intended for foreign countries.
Parcels for Canada must not exceed
four pounds, six ounces in weight.
Every effort viii Ee made by the
post office force to secure the delivery
of all parcels on or before Christmas

is requested in securing this result, by
an observance of the foregoing sug-
gestions.

DRESSMAKER SUES MANDEL'S
FOR $4,000 DAMAGES

FOR $4,000 DAMAGES
Mary Conlon was head dressmaker
at Mandel Bros State street depart
ment store two years ago. She made
good money-for a loop store ems
ploye-and was doing quite well.
On the 18th OF March, 1912, she
was walking about on the tenth floor
and she slipped and fell. She says
the floor was covered with soap and
water, left by a scrubwoman who did
not dry the spot.
The fall was a bad one and doctors
in MandePs emergency hospital,
where she was rushed right after the
accident, told her that her hip was
broken.
They removed Miss Conlon to
hospital and later to her home, where
she lay for six weeks in bed waiting
for the hip to heal. The process was
slow, for Miss Conlon was 40 when
the accident occurred. Another was
put in her place in the dressmaking
department.
When Miss Conlon was first lifted /,
from her bed, long after the accident
at MandePs, she discovered a distress
ing fact. She could bend over only
with great difficulty and was unable
to move about quickly.
A dressmaker in Mandel Bros. must
be, among other things, very active,
for the day in the State street de-
partment store is long, but not too
long for the work. And Miss Conlon
found that she could never handle the
position again.
She couldn't get work elsewhere
that would pay anything like the
wage she had received from the de-
partment store, now that she was
crippled. She tried to get Mandel's
to settle for a substantial amount 8
and they refused.
A talk with Atty Clarence barrow
caused her to file suit against the de-
nartment store for $4,000
