Local Pastor Ably Defends Real Christianity.

In his sermon last Sunday Rev.
Morton, pastor of the M. f. church,
said:
''In considering the true greatness
of Christi anity we need to consider
first some of the difficulties which it
has had to overcome. We find that
there has been many hindrances with
uals composing the church are men
and women whose ideals have often
been lowered by the sin in their own
lives and the conditions under which
they have lived.
Worldly powers have pressed in on
the church from every side +, attempt
ing to exploit the church for selfish
purposes. Individuals have sought
admission to the church for selfish
purposes, seeking to draw from the
church something for their own per-
sonal advancement instead of trying
to advance the cause of Christianity.
Organizations and societies of every
class have sought the approval of
Christian men and women, not that
they were interested in the welfare
of the church, but that they might
further their own interests.
"Men and women of the lowest mo-
tives in life, have used the church as
cloak under which they might carry
on their evil work. Political parties
have in many instances gained controI
of church leaders and have worked
their political leaders into the church
in order that they might further theil
evil political schemes. Some OF
these same church leaders have re.
quired slavish obedience on the par,

State Bee Inspector Still Singing Taxpayers.

Following is the official report of
the State Bee Inspector submitted to
Governor Moses Alexander the first of
this year:
Hon. Moses Alexander.
Governor of Idaho,
Boise, Idaho:
Dear Governor: "In accordance with
the provisions of the law requiring
an annual report of the bee industry
of the state, have the honor to sub
nit herewith my report for the year
ending Dec. 81, 1915.
"There were 3O,51l colonies in
spected during the year of which 3,648
colonies were diseased or were kept in
box hives in violation of the law.
The number of colonies treated by
shaking into new frames or otherwise
were 2, 639 and 1909 were destroyed

pounds with gross value of about
SITS, 900, about two-thirds of the
amount being shipped out of the state
GAS a whole, the year 1915 was the
best year for honey production we
have had for three years. however,
some sections had short crop on ac-
count of the extra dry season.
''There was appropriated by the
Legislature SO, for the inspection
work for the years 1915 and 1916,
which is MORE THAN DOUBLE the
amount ever expended on inspection
before for the same period. This
made it possible for the inspectors to
cover much neglected territory and
enforce the treatment or destruction
of all diseased colonies.
'Another year of rigid enforce
ment of the bee laws of the state by
earnest inspectors with the hearty CO.
operation of the leading beekeepers
will show a decided improvement in
the industry, and, think, there will

Beats Raising Wheat.

A black fox was bagged last week
by Chas. Cromwell near Grinell sta
tion in the Palouse hills. The animal
took refuse under an old abandoned
house where it was shot by Mr.. Crom-
we'll. The pelt of the animal killed
is valued at approximately 81, 500, due
to the scarcity of black foxes. The
other two foxes started by the Palouse
hunter are still at large. 1t is diff
cult to account for their presence in
that locality. but it is supposed they
drifted down out of the mountains be-
fore the heavy snow storms. Mr..
Crowmell lives about six miles north
of Palouse, near LaDow butte, and is
an old timer in that locality.

old family album, showing Mrs.
Hogue as young woman, created
considerable interest, since there has
been some change in the fashions
since that day. Many little gifts,
remembrances from friends, were re-
ceived by Mrs. Hogue. Probably the
thing of which Mrs. Hogue is most
proud is that she has lived to see
John Barleycorn licked to ''frazzel
everywhere, and her own state of
Idaho put in the dry column. She has
devoted her best energy to helping
bring this about.

be little complaint as to the bee in
dustry not having ample protection. !"
Respectfully submitted,
GUY GRAHAM,
State Bee Inspector

GUY GRAHAM,
State Bee Inspector.
The above was published in the
Boise Capital News of January %,
1916, the editor of which is c. O..
Broxon, private secretary to Cover
nor Nose Alexander, who denounced
bee inspection, "as tho the people of
Idaho hadn't been stung enough. "
And here we have it officially declar-
ed that by virtue of new law,
signed and approved by this same
Moses, the dear people of Idaho have
been stung to the tune of TWO dol
lars where they were stung for only
one under Governor Haines.
The inspection of bees is probably
good thing, for the beekeeper has
an important industry in Idaho, but
this is immaterial If bee inspection
under Governor Haines was wrong,
and Governor Alexander cited it as
one of the causes of high taxes; in
ferred that bee inspectors were use
1909 CoASoSSio, iAiPooSu VII tiS pSoPhS
by republicans for the sole purpose of
providing soft snaps for republican
grafters, then bee inspection is wrong
under Govern + Moses Alexander.
The thing Il at hurts is that this
office-seeking, egotistical old Jew,
unmasked in his game of deception,
cannot give back to men, whose shoes
he is unworthy to unite, their good
name and regulations, which Nose
Alexander, in his hunger for place
and power, ruthlessly tore to shreds
and dragged in the mud and mire OF
public suspicion, branding them as
grafters, scoundrels and public enc.
mics.
Cunningly did Nose Alexander de-
ceive. His election came from the
hands of the most openly outraged
people ever buncoed into delivering
the goods to vnder of gold brick.

Paving Scrap Is On.

Paving is causing considerable local
discussion among property owners.
The council has spent much time dis
cussing it, and the opposition has or
ganized quite formidable list of dis
satisfied owners who oppose on the
ground that they cannot afford the ex-
pense at this time. The Republican
is neutral. We believe it is ques-
tion for those who will bear the big
end of the burden to settle among
themselves. However. if the paving
is done some 81, 900 will be assessed
to the town to be paid by all the peo-
pie. To that extent every property
owner in Orofino is interested.
