GRIFFITHS SAYS PUNCH
BOARDS ARE AGAINST LAW
Games of Chance" Must be Closed
Throughout Canyon County.

After IA months of earnest consider
| alton County Attorney Griffiths has
decided that punch boards and trade
check slot machines are games OF
chance, and come within the prohibit
tons of the anti-gambling law. The
| merchants in Canyon county have
been notified that henceforth the law
| will be enforced.
1t will be noted that the viciousness
Of these devices increase in the same
ratio as the election date Apr: aches.
Of course The Tribune cannot believe
that the approaching election has any
effect on the county attorney. but we
cannot help but note the facts.
Nampa w. c. T. U. Busy.
The w. c. T. U. of Nampa has
brought the issue squarely up to Mr..
Griffiths, and he has held that the
punch boards and slot machines must
go. The following interesting ac>
count of two round bout between
the Nampa w. c. II. u. and Mr.. Crit
liths is taken from the Nampa Leader
Herald:
For some time the Women's Christ
ian Temperance Union has looked
with disapproval on the whimsical
slot machine and the deceitful punch
board. Some of the members of the
organization got hold of a volume of
the Idaho Session laws and discovered
there some few words relative to these
alleged games of chance" which they
took to mean prohibited the operation
of such devices within the state or
Idaho.
The matter was taken up with Coun-
ty Attorney H. A. Griffiths and yes,
terday the county prosecutor sent an
order to Chief of Police Larry Ma
loney to warn all merchants who main
tanned punch boards or slot machines
that after February Is the operation
would be considered a misdemeanor
before the law and would result in
prosecution.
Just how Nampa merchants will re-
ceive this stringent order from the
county prosecutor is matter of con-
lecture. Some think that it should be
made the subject of test case, while
others are willing to accept the county
attorneys decree and do away with
slot machines and punch boards.
The operation of slot machines in
Nampa has been the subject of several
previous attacks but so far they have
continued to run without serious
molestation from the officers. In fact,
the city of Nampa recognizes the ex-
istence of slot machines by laying
tax of SIS a quarter on them. The
question naturally arises. if there is
state law against slot machines
how can the city collect {: tax for
them2 To which the city officials re-
ply: There is no state law against
slot machines; the law is against
gambling"
Whatever the legal side of the case
may be, Attorney Grifiths has ordered
the removal of all games of chance
and Chief Maloney was busy yesterday
serving notice upon the local met
chants.

the POSTMASTER, was in a happy moou
and his sparkling wit and brilliant sal

burst Of applause. The success of the
banquet was due in large measure
to Col Hamer.
The leading gubernatorial candi-

Mr.. ID. w. Davis and Captain L. g.
Davis were the most active. Mr.. E.

but he did not announce his candidacy.
The announcement of Mr.. d. w.
Davis was made the day before the
banquet.
Candidates for other positions on
the state ticket were around but de-
velopments were entirely lacking. The
candidates probably consider this too
early in the season.

Pietro as her companion, taste the
glories of the new country beyond the
sea.
The scene shifts to New Yorks
seething colony. known as Little
Italy" 1t is the feast day OF the Ma
donna of Mt. Carmel, the most sacred
fete day of the Italian colony. On
the breast and cloak of the Madonna,
there fash in the brillian sunlight the
famous consecrated jewels. AS the
brilliant radiance of the gems finds
reflection in Rosa's midnight eyes
Louis, CANISTER, who is bitterly jeal-
Gus of Pietro, whispers to the luxuri-
antly beautiful girl:
"My love for you consumes me like
living fire. For you would even steal
the sacred jewels from the Madonna
concecrated breast"
She whispers back:
ITO such a man and to such a man,
only, would l give myself. Yes. down
to my Utmost soul"
Luigi, lurking near. overhears her
words. With quick leap of his pulse
he realizes that the gate to Rosa's
love is open to him. That night he
visits the church of the Madonna.
When he energies he clutches to his
breast the consecrated Jewels.
Suddenly the night is split by a
shout, and at the same time comes the
heavy booming of the bell of the
Chapel of the Madonna. The robbery
has been discovered.
With wild cry, wrung from the
depths of her tormented soul, Rosa
rushes into the streets. From this
point on, "Sin," sweeps straight and
sure to mighty and overwhelming
climax.

doesn't harmonic with such density.
Also how can he explain the fact
that the majority OF the stars Uf he

OF which they are composed is Of less
tenuity than even our own atmo-

Man and the Horse.

From antiquity so distant that dependable
records are lost in its mists, and back into the
darkness from whence come legends that magnify
facts beyond reasonable proportion, comes knowl-
edge Of the close association Of man and the
horse 1t might appease curiosity to know when
this intimacy commenced, but it would serve no
very good purpose. The condition is one of many
easily accepted because they exist Professor ~
S. Shaler, some years ago, said the domestication
Of the horse is due to his stupidity; that had he
possessed intelligence in ratio to his strength he
had never been subjugated by man.
That he has been in service OF man for ages is
Established by the myth Of the centaurs persistng
long after the horse was we'll known to the
Greeks In the Book of Job, that marvellous
record of human experience, the age of which is
not definitely hxed is an apostrophe to the horse
not equalled by modern poet Since man has kept
records he has mingled accounts of his own doings
with those of his horse, until their stories flow
together. This intimacy, legendary, historic and
existing. stands mistaken, and although man is
casting about for means whereby he can achieve
greater things in shorter time the horse is not to
be jostled from his place in human experience by
the vibrations Of gas-driven engine.
II you think so, take note Of the fact that the
country has more horses than ever, that they are
now being bought at higher prices than ever, and
read the sport page Of any newspaper where rec
ords Of the track are displayed. From Jobs war
horse, snorting in his pride and lust for battle
down to this day, the line shows no break. The
automobile is useful, but it must serve many gen.
erations before il can command the affection now
lavished on the horse.

Mastering the Machinery of War

The story Of how the naval recruits are being
taught to handle the big guns at sea emphasizes
the need of training men for service in the de-
Tense of the country Modern weajons are COM
plicated, even in their simplicity, and in both
army and navy efficiency is largely matter Of
technical skill Men must be well versed, not only
in the principles Of mechanics. but in their broad
est application and must know how to operate
and care for delicate and intricate mechanism. A
warship Of today, no matter Of what class, is but
an assemblage of co-ordinated machinery, and
only by actual experience can the ability to han
die and control these machines be acquired. Only
in degree does service in the army differ from
service in the navy in this rS=.-a Need Of this
training has long been understood, and the eager
ness Of the young men who have volunteered to
take up the work is splendid tribute to the sim
certify Of their devotion Americans are finally
fully awake to the necessity Of getting ready for
selfdefense, and at last understand that il is not
question of willingness but OF knowing how.

The Heat of the Sun.

Bellevue, Neb., Aug. 22.-To the
Editor of The Bee: beg leave for
space in your paper to answer the Sec
ond letter of Elliot LOOMS, in which
he takes exception to my answer to
his first reason, Taking the world
over, there is no rise In temperature
as we approach the SUM-" There Is
no need to take exception as l stated
very plainly that ! agreed with him
and, speaking more specifically Of the
northern hemisphere. l said there was
an actual lowering of temperature as
we approached the sun. OF course,
he understands that the same latitude
in the southern hemisphere becomes
warmer, and the seasons counter-ba
ance. 1t can be shown (See Moul-
tons Introduction to Celestial Me-
chanics," page las, problem 81 that
the amount Of light and heat received
per area by any planet Is proportional
to the reciprocal of the product of the
major and minor axes Of its orbit
Hence when the eccentricity of the
earth's orbit decreases, the amount Of
heat the world over becomes less, and
as 1t increases, more. The eccentric
ity of the earth's orbit is only .01677
or 100000 miles in total Of 3D.
900, 900 and this comparatively small
distance is not enough to produce any
increase of temperature the world
over-or a decrease.
Again he misinterprets my second
answer. l did not say the four outer
planets were 273 degrees below zero,
but specifically stated that they are
still probably feeble suns, which would
imply good deal Of heat indeed.
What l did say was that that hemi-
sphere of Mercury and tprobably) Of
Venus turned always from the sun
were at the temperature Of iriterstel-
lar space. ...-
He says: Particles of matter In q
state of fusion can produce no fric-
ton by rubbing together to produce
more heat" l make no mention of
particles of matter" The sun Is
gaseous, and matter there is In its mo-
lecular state, and molecular friction
is quite enough to produce heat

The Unpalatable Truth.

Some OF the men interested In the securing
Of land bank for Nebraska are beginning to
think that if Lincoln and Omaha cannot find a
means OF compromising their differences and
one does not withdraw in favor of the other,
Iowa will get the plum. The Bryan influence at
Washington is being utilized to help Lincoln,
and with campaign on this is not an incon-
siderable factor, Senator Hitchcock on the
other hand. Is taking no part in the contest,
being candidate for reelection and hunting no
new sources OF enmity. In recent years feel
ing OF amity between the commercial interests
OF the two cities has been carefully cultivated,
and there are those who think that now would
be good time to test the sincerity and
strength OF it. II has been suggested that repre-
sentatves of both cities ought to get together,
lay down their hands and then get back Of the
one with the better chance This would be diff
hcult to accomplish, but II is not impossible
Lincoln Journal 8Fsa.s
Unfortunately, this contains for Omaha, so
far as based on our federal reserve bank exper-
fence, too much unpalatable truth. The competi-
tive claim and back fire from Lincoln, while not
wholly controlling unquestionably helped to send
the reserve bank to Kansas City, although, as
everyone knows, the final decision was made in
response to the political pull OF Kansas City's
senator. In this case, no more than in that can
anyone censure the organs for championing their
home town for any prize honestly deemed within
reach and the fact that the Omaha senator refuses
now to fight for his home town and hides behind
the pretense that he does not want to antagonize
Lincoln. cannot rebound to his credit
Under these circumstances, il Omaha lands
the land bank. it will do so despite the senator's
inactivity, while, il we lose it, he must take the
blame. and all the more if it should go to Lin
coin, while the thanks Of Lincoln would belong to
the organs. N &s'
