REFORM and ROT.

They are in funny mxup in the neighboring state
OF Idaho their recently enacted liquor legislation
The law that goes into effect in Idaho the first of
the year not only prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquor
within the confines of the commonwealth but it also
makes it misdemeanor for any person to have
sion of any intoxicating liquor The statute gives author
lty to the officers to search private residences where they
have reason to believe intoxicating liquors held This
means that there is sancty for the home in the state
of Idaho Bedroom doors may be broken down any time
OF the day night by the ocious suspicious mnion
OF the law who is prompted by any motive to enter the
place. So infamOusly just and shamefuly senseess
the law that the people of Idaho have enacted for the
of the state in this regard that already public
opinion has revoed against and the attorney general
of the commonwealth several weeks before the law takes
effect compelled by public opinion to already wink
at and officially countenance infraction of the
statute In opinion just rendered by Attorney General
Peterson he says that the peace officers of the state must
be very careful or they will get into trouble by being
over ocous. He advises the officers not to search any
private residences for liquor break into any persons
premises in pursuit of hidden booze unless such officers
are sure they going to be successful in their search
Thus has so-caed reform run mad in some of the
Western states. Weeks before Idaho goes under state
wide prohibition the highest officers in the common
wealth suborning and encouraging infractions of
the statute. The law will never be enforced in Idaho
it is impossible. 1t will dsorganze industrial and social
conditions; is Legislative monstrosy born of bigory
and conceived in scandal freakish in it's tenes fanatica
in its phrases foolish in its purpose, enacted by boobs
and bigots 1t will cost Idaho millions in money and bring
to the state nations contempt No sensible person in
Idaho expects the law to be enforced The traveller from
New York who passes through the state with flask of
whiskey in his vase is subject to arrest and mprison
men the law requires that he be arrested and punished
Is there in America who believes
such statute is sensible, necessary feasible? To
enforse such law would take the standing army of the
United Staes and out of the prosecutions would arise
disorder, social and industrial discomfort and lasting dis
grace to the people who enacted the measure.
The elector who votes for a law knowing it cannot
and hoping ii will not be enforced is essentially dis
honest extremely dangerous and unworthy citizen.

victon that majority of the people of the Gem State
