Chapter mark here, for maybe
the taxpayer who reads this wont
want to see anything more about

The next chapter--not the last
was that the editor was directed
to get into the buggy with Mr..
and Mrs. Jack Worth, with the
u. S. Mail, aud make the rest of
the journeys miles-in the old
fashioned buggy style. And we
were hustled out. or in, so fast
to catch the east bound train that
we plum forgot our valuable coat.
1t wasn't any fashionable coat. tho
it might have been ''classical":
but the valuable papers we left in
| its pockets was sufficient to make
us sympathize with the ''frenzied
6nanciers" of the Far East: it was
Mt night-quite-yet-or we are
sure we would have turned over
in our sleep.
But good luck HASN'T teeto'Ily
deserted us ''scribes and phariseesn
yet; for Geo. Aldritt came to our
rescue and paid US two yearly sub
scriptions to The Press. That
made US feel sure that we had at
least one friend and sympathizer
who believes every word that this
'sLlberty Enlightener'' ('pat. APP
piled for') puts into cold type
about Good Roads.
But we SAID there wasn't any
Good Roads only in Heaven.

is the last one

the automobile two or three times.
When we got the car on the

WELL, this Mud Hole we de-

Just before we got to Gettys-

and to repair the damage that
had been done to the US. mail and

nothing of the chaffeur, or of his

IDAHO DRY" LAW UPHELD.
Exercise of Police Power.
Says S'-te Supreme Court.


Holding that 1t is a reasonable ex-
ercise Of the police power of the
state. the supreme court of Idaho
recently sustained the constitution
atty OF the stringent liquor law
enacted by the last Idaho legislature.
The act makes 1t unlawful for q
person, firm or corporation to sell,
manufacture, dispose of, have in pos
session or transport any intoxicating
liquor within a prohibition district.
The only exception is the use of pure
alcohol for scientific purposes and
this is procurable only on permit.
The law was attacked on the ground
that the clause making it unlawful
to have intoxicating liquor in ones
possession was in contravention Of
the fourteenth amendment to the
of the United States and
the state of Idaho. The law applies
to the whole state after the first Of
the year.
