AilShie
Warns Voters
Says Interested Parties Seek to Control
Important State Offices.

Judge ]. F. Ailshie, former chief
Justice of the supreme court OF Idaho,
!n a recent published article says in
part:
II have been in Idaho over 25
years and l believe am safe In say
ing that at no time in the history of
the state has there been such a con-
ceutrated effort on the part of big
b lsiness and corporations. foreign and
domestic, to control certain offices,
especially the legislature, as Is being
put forth at this time and at no time
have the people been to all appear
ances less alert to the situation.
"The high tide of what has been
derisively styled agitation and
reform seems to be subsding and
while that is transpirirg the gum
shoe agents, special representatives
and salaried attorneys of these
interests dominated by greed who
want legislation that will give legal
sanction to their loot, want to control
public offices and name appointees
from among their retainers-all these
are now busy getting candidates out
for office.
II know something of conditions
In Idaho and feel that every voter
In the state ought TO be urged tJ take
an active interest In the nomination
of candidates, especially for the legis.
lature and governor, and IL, after the
primaries are over, they f1nd that they
have not cleared the ticket of all The
machine and corporation candidates,
that they finish the job at the general
election, irrespective of the political
party to which the candidate may
belong.
Idaho has suffered irreparablY in
her reputation and commercial
welfare alike during recent years on
account OF being dominated by
machine politics that most people
feel has been the source of corruption
In her public business and offices.
This has been the condition 10 state
politics and unfortunately it has
reached into a number of the counties

THIS PLANT IS A THIEF.
Oodder Steals All the Disested Food
of Its Glover Neighhors.

Oodder Steals All the Disested Food
of Its Clover Neishhors.
Possibly he's too lazy to feed him
self, or it may be that he came from
a family of criminals and can't over
come his heredity. At any rate, he's
robber, thief and plunderer None
of these names is too severe, and If
you doubt it ask the farmer, who
knows him for the damage he does
every year to the clover and alfalfa
crops. The plant is the dodder.
Perhaps We can forgive the dodder
for not preparing his own food, for he
has nothing to prepare 1t with. Nearly
all plants have chlorophyll. the sub
stance which makes plants green and
digests the food which they take from
the ground and the air. The dodder
has no chlorophyll.
SO 1t has to turn robber to live. After
the seed springs from the ground the
dodder vine reaches out until 1t touches
some other plant. clover, for example.
1t attaches itself to the clover stem by
its tiny rootlets and begins to eat the
food which the clover has taken and
digested.
After awhile the root withers and
dies. and the vine keeps reaching out
for more victims, binding them to-
gether with its tiny threads. You prob.
ably have seen the small, pale. bell
shaped flowers climbing over field of
clover.
Once dodder gets a hold in a clover
field the farmers only escape is to cut
clover and dodder alike and burn the
crop. And the farmer believes this
death none too horrible for the little
robber vine.-Pbiladelp North Amer
