0. S. [. DINING CARS
ARE NOW "DRY"

Beginning July l, the Oregon
Short Line will discontinue the serv-
Ing Of liquors on the dining cars OF
the entire system. This announce
ment was made Monday by ID, =.
Spencer, assistant general passenger
agent of the line. The Oregon Short
Line is one Of the first roads III the
entire country to eliminate entirely
the service of intoxicants ON i'd dim
ing cars.
BY the enactment of state and In
terstate laws it has become unlawful
to ship any liquor into the dry terri
tory of any state. Since so MUCH OF
the states of Utah and Idaho Id dry,
the service OF liquors in the dining
cars 10 wet territory only Is rather
inconvenIent, and frequently almost
impossible. Moreover. the railroad
officials say, to close tho sale Of liquor
while passing through dry territory
and opening it's sale as soon rs wet
territory is reached seems slbter-
fuge. The company, therefore, decld-
ed to discontinue the service entirely.
The Salt Lake Route three weeks
ago announced that hereafter il
would serve no liquors on It's dining
cars In the state Of Utah The COM
pany did not make the order effectlye
over the entire line because df the
fact that tile most OF the country II
traverses is wet territory.

WEED PROBLEM
IS A SERIOUS ONE

The weed problem in Idaho isvser-
ious. 1t needs immediate attention.
None of our worst weeds are native
to Idaho. They were imported with
the agricultural seeds and CONNER
cial feeding stuffs. They are being
distributed each year in this same
way and by natural agencies as wind
and water.
The pure seed law of Idaho was
created as an emergency act to check
the importation and distribution of
noxions weeds. 1t can never accom-
plish this purpose alone. We must
get at the root of this evil as well as
the roots of the weeds and extermi-
nate the noxious weeds from the
fields, roadsides, banks of irrigation
bitches and railroad property.
Do you realize the enormous loss
to the farmers in the United States
each year from weeds? 1t amounts
to several hundred million dollars.
Weeds are responsible for q loss of
many dollars to every farmer who
tolerates them on his farm.
Weeds crowd out economic plants.
They use up the moisture and plant
food that should go to increase yield
and economical crop production.
They attract fungous diseases as the
rusts Of the small grains and injur.
ious insects as the grasshopper, Colo
rado potato beetle and cutworms
Some of the weeds are harmful t.
stock because they have barbed seeC
or are poisonous.
Other states do not have soil ant
climatic conditions that will permi
them to grow seed of such hi9l
| grade, excellent color, strong vital
ty and superior excellence as Idaho
Eastern wholesale buyers recogniz,
this quality. and they secure most o
the purest and best to ship east
Many Idaho farmers, then. must bu.
a poorer quality of seed from hi
neighbor or ship in inferior see
from other states.
1t pays to produce clean seed. T
grow clean seed it is necessary to so,
clean seed and to rogue the fields
Seed that is free from noxious wee,
! seeds will bring on any market fror
so to 100 per cent more than see
that contains weed seed. The see
producing industry in Idaho ha
magnificent prospects if deyelope
along the line of pure seed prodn'

SAYS The PARTY
MUST MOVE ALONG
Senator BOrah Briefly Expresses His Views on
the Situation Which will Confront the Re
publican Party Next Year.

The constitution. which embodies
the wisdom of the most remarkable
group of men that ever graced at a
given time this earth, ought and
should always be our guide, our in
stitutions, which have withstood the
most destructive civil war of history
ought to be our faith, but the pre-
|servation of one and the mainten-
ance Of the other can not be realized
except we meet with open-minded-
ness, with candor and courage, the
problems of this hour just as our
forebears met the obligation Of for
mer days. And we are going to do
it, whether we do it in calmness
and in harmony or in turmoil and
strife. we are going to do it. Let
us hope that we will do it in calm
ness and harmony. Nowhere have
| seen stated the needed admonition
with more clarity and brevity than
in this single paragraph from your
paper.
It is being urged, or has been
urged, that we should .have "busi-
ness mems" campaign. This is too
narrow a basis. Business men will
have much concern with the next
campaign, and they will be entitled
to and undoubtedly will receive that
consideration which their Importance
in the scheme for the restoration of
general prosperity demands. But it
is more or less an affront to the in
telligence of American voters gener-
ally and certainly at war with the
true spirit of American politics to
talk about a campaign for or in be-
half of or by any class.
This campaign will, it seems to
me, be upon broad lines whatever
attempt there may be to circum-
scribe it will not avail. It will in
volve our foreign policy, the question
Of an efficient national defense, the
just and proper protection of the
rights and lives of American citizens,
as well as the readjustment of the
tariff and other questions of domes-
tic concern. And | look forward to
the coming campaign with no small
degree Of pleasure, because it seems
to me that it may afford the Ameri-
can people an opportunity to re-ex-
anime some fundamental questions,
to drive from their minds and hearts
| that spirit of distrust in their insti-
tutions, lately so prevalent, that
tendency to suppose that there is
something in our system of govern
ment which prevents our accomp-
fishing what as people we should
accomplish.
Indeed | think it would be more
wise and truer to say that we are tC
have a campaign of real American
ism proud of what we have done
, fully confident Of what under oul
, Republican institutions we may do
/ feel quite sure that some of thesl

! is not our constitution that stand
in the way, nor our system of gov
ernment, but rather our inability t
