tegrity into the erring ones. To do
otherwise would be to invite greater
abuses.
While they are hating between
two opinions the state is looking on
and wondering how many are i'm
plicated and why nothing is done.
Would it involve too many of the
leading citizens, lodge members and
good fellows? That is the first ques-
ton men ask when they read the
press reports, SO Sunnyland is in the
limelight, Notwithstanding their ef-
forts to keep these particular features
of human nature hidden from youth
and from the public generally. In
Bingham county a newspaper took
up the work for the grand jury, and
paid its own expenses and fought the
fight for the whole public. The peo-
pie went to the polls and recorded
their verdict and the wounds of the
conflict are happily healed. Sunny
land is still facing the ordeal with
misgivings and fear.

WHO WILL
TT BE?

One of these days some Blackfoot
will sharpen his pencil and
then he will have a sitting with some
man who operates a school wagon.
The school wagon will give place to
an automobile Of equal capacity, and
the farmers will be informed that
orders for goods sent to one certain
firm by mail today or by wire be-
fore nine in the morning, will be de-
livered by the school auto on GER
tain lines of travel in time for din
ner, and on certain other sections of
the road after the noon hour Farm
produce will be received at the front
gate for delivery to the store by 4
o'clock, In time for town people to
have them fresh from farm to con-
sumner the same day. That store
will get them going and coming Be-
tween and a. M, it will get the
pupils going to school, Between 8 a
An. and 3 D. m. it will deliver mer-
|ehandise and get butter and eggs
packed in neat cartons, along country
lanes. At 4 O'Clock it will get pupils
lat the school and deliver them COM
ling home. The farmers will put in
telephones and buy of that merchant
who sharpened his pencil. They will
Ialso sell to him and save going to
town so much themselves. The town
people will buy of the same mer-
chant because he patronizes home in
dustry and sells them fresher things
than others.
BY the way-the auto will save SO
much of the children's time from the
road, they will have time to look
after packing the butter and eggs
in the cartons, and keeping the books
to be sure that the days transactions
with the merchant are o. K. At
present the school wagons are run
ming empty one way, and many farm
ers are driving to town with baskets
of produce. Under the new system
they will be at home sweeping out
the chicken house or some more use
full and less wasteful endeavor.
What we need is the mail order game
localized.

OUR FUTURE
FARMER

Very few farmers in this county
today think they will be using auto
trucks in 1920 for all their heavy
hauling. Very few of them thought
five years ago that they would dis
card their driving teams and be using
autos in 1915. They were equally
certain that nobody would be operat-
ing steam gang plows on the dry
farms. A few years ago they wanted
the sandy places and the mud holes
in the road fixed so they could haul
as big a load of sugar beets as their
four horses could lug on the ordinary
road. They are nearly satisfied now,
but very soon an auto truck will come
along, and will bring an inspiration
with it, Some dray man or adven-
turer will be operating it. He will
go to the dry farmer at threshing
time and haul his wheat to town so
quickly the dry farmer cannot afford
to bother with horses and wagons.
Then the wet farmer will engaged
him to haul something for him. He
will visit the beet raiser who has a
long haul and good road, and will
give him such lift with his beets
that the farmer will put his teams
to blowing right soon, and that will
give him an unexpected advantage
in soil conditions. Then some of
the big farmers who have consider
able hauling to do between town and
the farm will sit down and do little
original figuring. Following that,
some auto trucks will be purchased,
and there will be more chop feed for
the animals, since it is so little
trouble to take the grain to the mill
and back. There will be more fall
blowing, crops will be put in more
promptly when the season is just
about right, all the fellows who
figure carefully will be buying auto
trucks, and heavy teams will be dis
appearing from the roads. The
farmer of the near-future will use
more gasoline than now, and more
hay and grain, but the hay and grain
will be fed more to hogs and cows
and poultry in the form of chop and
silo than to driving horses and draft
teams.

GRAPHING IN
SUNNYLAND

A little over year ago a party
of Idaho Falls business men and
some drummers sat in a group at
that city and discussed pro and con
the action of The Idaho Republican
in exposing the long lineup of petty
grating going on in Bingham county
Some said it was the thing to do
and they applauded the courage OF
the man who, single-handed and
against heavy odds was cutting
straight into the subject and defying
the whole political ring. They said
1t would do great amount of good
even If only half of what was being
published was true, and that under
the circumstances If any of it was
not true the editor would be put in
Jail as promptly as the gang could
get action in the courts which they
controlled.
On the other hand, there were men
who said that grating was always
being carried on in some form and
in some degree. that human nature
was ever the same, that men in office
were bound to favor one another,
that it was wrong to be heralding
these matters through the press and
making it worse by bringing it to the
attention of more people: that it
hurt business and lowered the ideals
of youth; that the publisher was only
hurting himself and those he repre-
sented and whom he ought to be
boosting for-the things of his own
community.
There were others who said they
believed things we're politically rot
ten in Sunnyland and they wished
somebody could be found who would
undertake an audit of the public rec
ords upon their findings; that it
would stir up more square dealing
and put more patriotism into the po-
Et1cal campaign than anything else
that could be done.
They have had three elections
since that, primary, a general cleo
ton and city election, and some
body has audited some of the city
books lately and found shortage
OF $4,000. People are anxious to
have more auditing done to see If
there is more shortage. They are
reproving themselves for not having
1t done long ago before the horse
was stolen. They are saying that by
their lax methods they placed temp
tation before their officials and that
1t is up to the people to pocket their
losses and try to do better in the fu-
ture. There are others, and they
seem to be in the majority. who want
a grand jury called to investigate
and place the matter in the courts,

situation regardless Of the expenses,

EQUAL SUFFRAGE
LOSES

In the equal suffrage election held
I'm New Jersey, Tuesday, woman suff-
rage lost by large majorities. The
voters probably remembered that
Colorado was one of the first to adopt
1T and that it has been the worst gov
erned state in the union for a long
time. Idaho adopted it early, and
Idaho has been in the limelight for
bad bonding propositions, bad irriga-
tion enterprises, bad state treasurer
and other officials and prosecutions
of men and firms for spite and polit-
cal purposes.
President Wilson has been in a
very happy frame of mind lately on
account of fair lady, and 1t was
significant that he gave it out just
before the election in New Jersey
that he favored equal suffrage. 1t
1t was thought this statement brought
out at that time would help the suf-
fragists to win, they have their an
swer in the returns. The president g
own town went against it and his own
precinct opposed it by more than two
to one.
Seems to us we have heard Of
one or two other prominent men CIV
ing out their views just before cleo
tions, when it was suspected that a
lot of mugwumps would decide as
soon as he did, but decided right the
other way.

And Chairman Martin is right. The

The legislative Situation.

Everett Winters Madison correspond
ence to The Milwaukee News: There
was movement started in the assem-
bly, Thursday to secure an adjourn
ment of the legislature after next week
until next winter, under the claim that
the measure before the legislature could
not be disposed of within six weeks
and that it would be better to hold
another session next winter and not
try to conclude business at this time.
The movement was frowned upon,
however, by m any of the members and
was halted in its infancy The fact that
such resolution was discussed, how
ever, shows how restless the members
are becoming. The assembly is practi-
cally through with all it's measures ex-
cept appropriation bills. This fact
renders it hard to keep the members
because of the small calendars.

HOW TO SHAKE HANDS.
Get the Grip First, According to Mer
camille Recipe.


We have found that when you APP
prOach the person to shake hands if
you will get the grip on their hand be-
fore they have time to grip yours you
have gained an advantage. The hand
should be slipped well into Or over the
hand Of the person you want to shake
with-that is, push the thumb and fore
finger of your hand well into the
thumb and forefnger of the person
with whom you are shaking. Do it
rather quickly, and the instant you
feel that your hand is in place bring
the grip into play instantly. Don't
grip the hand hard enough to cause
pain to the person with whom you are
shaking, but yet give him good, firm
grip. After you have practiced a lit
tie you can tell just about how hard
you can squeeze without hurting the
other person.
Before your hands touch be sure that
you are looking the other person square
in the eye. Don't wait until you have
hold of his hand, but watch his eye in
stantly, and if you will watch the eye
of the other one very closely you will
notice that when you bring the grip
into play you can see response in the
features Of the other person.
Then it is good idea Immediately
when you feel your hand touch the
other person to place your left hand on
his elbow, not below the elbow, but
back of it. so as to be able to pull his
arm, as it were, toward yours. Don't
pull very hard, but just be firm about
it. Take hold Of the elbow joint with
just little firmness. Of course these
things are all done practically at the
same time. and it will take a little
practice for you to be able to do this
and get the best results.-Merchants'
