SCHOOL BONDS

At the school district bond election
last Monday afternoon liz votes
were cast. OF this number 98 were
in favor of the bonds and Ia were
against. AS this is more than the
required two-thirds majority. ii
means that the old Lincoln building
will soon be replaced by a modern,
six-room structure.
AS stated last week the school
board has already contracted for the
bonds and the money will be In the
hands of the district within the next
week. The board will use all possi-
BILE haste in letting the contract in the
hope that the new building will be
completed by the time school opens
next September.
1t is the intention of the board To
have the old building moved to the
north side of the grounds and leave
it there so that in case the new
building isn't ready for occupancy
when school opens in September, the
old one can be used for few weeks
The board will then offer 1t for sale

hang the road that the sun scarcely
ever shines on it, consequently it is
in a frightful condition when other
portions are fairly good. 1t seems
to US that the commissioners of Bear
Lake county should make an effort
to improve as much of the canyon
road as possible this year, and con-
-tinue the work each year until the
Bannock county line is reached.
The Montpelier canyon road could
be made a delightful driveway for
autos during the summer months.
Not only for the joy riders should
the road be put in good condition,
but more especially for those who
have to haul freight over it and for
the people generally who travel it in
going to and coming from Star val
ley.
Montpelier is naturally the com
mercial center for the Star vale!
people, and in order not only to holc
the present traffic from that sectiol
but with a view of increasing it, tn
road should be put in the best posi-
BILE condition.

STAR VALLEY ROAD
IN BAD CONDITION

One of these mornings Montpelier
is going to awaken to find that the
Star valley traffic has been diverted
to Cokeville. This prediction has
been made more than once in the
past, and while it has not yet come
to pass, it is only matter of short
time until it will, for when the work
is completed on the Cokeville-Star
valley road, that is now under way,
it is going to be far better high
,tway than the Montpelier-Afton road.
However, the road from Montpel-
Ter could be made much better OF
the two, and there is no reason why
it should not be done. With some
thing like good road from here tt
Star valley, traffic between the tw'
points would now be much large
than it has been in the past, owini
to the constantly increasing numbe
of autos.
There is one thing tnat should b
done on the road up Montpelier car
yon, and that is to cut away the wi
lows for a distance of at least fiJ
feet on each side of the road. As
is now for miles the willows so owe

TO TEST LEGALITY
OF LIQUOR LAW

The test case to determine the
constitutionality of Idaho's stringent
liquor law known as senate bill No.
so, now effective in dry counties and
applicable to the state as whole on
and after Jan. /, 1916, made its APP
pearance in the supreme court last
Wednesday, says the Capital News,
in the form Of an application for a
writ of habeas corpus to secure the
release of one Ed Crane, a resident
of Moscow, from the county Jail
there where he is held on the charge
Of having in his possession one bottle
of whiskey. Moscow is in dry
county, Latah. The writ asks that
the supreme court direct Sheriff j. J.
Campbell to release Crane. The SUI
preHe court set June 19 as the date
on which the writ is returnable and
directed the sheriff to appear with
his prisoner and show cause why he
should not be released.
The outcome of this case will be
watched with statewide interest be-
cause it involves a question of para
mount Importance to Idaho not only
now but later when the entire state
goes dry. 1t is conceded that the
local option amendatory act as passed
by the last legislature furnishes the
machinery and the teeth for enforc-
ing the banishment of Intoxicating
liquors from this state. In a num-
ber of other counties, particularly
Bannock, similar issue as the one
/ involved in the Latah county case
, have come to the attention of the
authorities.
The direct attack on the law in 81
far as its constitutionality is con
cerned is raised in the application fol
= the writ of habeas corpus. 1t is al
v legged therein that on May Is of th'
IS present year Crane was arrested TO
# having a bottle of whiskey in his pos
IS session and, on default of bail, wa
If committed; that his arrest was mad
# under the provisions of sections 2
N Is and % of chapter l /, session law
n of 1915, which he sets forth ar
,e unconstitutional in that they are i
contravention o f the fourteent
ID amendment to the constitution @
,r the United States and also section l
g of article / of the constitution of til
ii state of Idaho" and that the pr
n vision of said sections is not rel
no sonable exercise of the police powe
or of the state and is for that reaso

prominent attorneys for northel

on with the court he represents at leng

WoSuiilB LOHb June o. w Illldul
Jennings Bryan. three times Demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency
of the United States, and author of
nearly thirty peace treaties with the
principal nations of the world, re-
signed today as secretary of state as
a dramatic sequel to his disagree
ment with President Wilson over
the governments policy toward
Germany.
The resignation was accepted by
the President. The cabinate then
approved the response which had
been prepared to the German reply
to the Lusitania note. Acting Sec
retary Robert Lansing will sign the
document, and tomorrow it will be
cabled to Berlin.
Rather than sign the document
which he believed might possibly
draw the United States into war,
Mr.. Bryan submitted his resignation
in a letter declaring that this issue
involved is of such moment that to
remain member of the cabinet
would be as unfair to you as it
would be to the cause which is near
est my heart, namely the prevention
Of war"
Dramatically the official relation
Of Mr.. Bryan with the administra-
ton of the man whose nomination
he assisted SO materially in bring
ing about at the Baltimore conven-
ton of 1912 came to an end. II
caused a sensation in the national
capital, scarcely paralleled in recent
years. Ambassadors, ministers anC
diplomatists from foreign lands, Of
ficials of every rank and station,
heard the news as it was flashed by
newspaper extras tonight. They
interpreted variously its effect OF
the delicate situation that had arisel
between Germany and the United
States.
Secretary Bryan's letter Of resig
nation was as follows:
my Dear Mr.. President: 1t i
with sincere regret that hav
reached the conclusion that / shoul,
return to you the commission 0
secretary Of state with which yor
honored me at the beginning of you
administration.
"Obedient to your sense of dut
and actuated by the highest motive
you have prepared for transmissio
to the German government note
which / cannot join without violatin
what / deem to be an obligation
my country, and the issue involve
is Of such moment that to remain
member of the cabinet would be ;
unfair to you as it would be to tt
cause which is. nearest my hear
namely the prevention of war.
Il therefore respectfully tend'
my resignation, to take effect whe
