A TEMPERANCE
DEMONSTRATION

Wednesday morning the old
county Jail at Blackfoot gave up its
last prisoner but one and he is hold
ing down the job alone. His name
is L. w. West and he broke Jail
once or he would probably have been
gone before now.
The town Is apparently as dry as
1t ever was In it's history, crime has
waned till there are only three GRIM
inal cases on the docket for court
next Monday and there is not an
empty business house in town. The
town was full of laborers last winter
extending telephone lines and when
they wanted to get their time checks
cashed, instead of going into a saloon
and buying drink to get cash as
men used to do in the old wet"
times, they usually went into cloth
ing store and bought cravats or
gloves or some little trimming that
speaks for comfort or refinement. 1t
was SO pronounced that people no.
ticed it and dealers cheerfully pro-
vided large sums in change for the
pay day trade. A few years ago we
heard great deal of opposition to
banishing the saloon for fear it
would hurt trade. 1t was said there
would be so many empty buildings
and people who were renting bust
ness houses for saloons scarcely miss
ed a pay day they were taken SO
quickly for more desirable lines. All
this may be an old woman's notion,
but if SO, let it be recorded.

AN EDITOR FOR
CONGRESS

The Caldwell Tribune states that
Fred Floed, editor of The New Free
dom, Democratic paper published
at Boise, will be candidate for con-
gress this year, and intimates for Mr..
Floed that one reason why he wants
the place is that he can use the posi-
ton to break the Elder-P eNugent
machine of Democracy in Idaho.
The Tribue expresses the hope that
he may win on account of the fact
that no newspaper man has yet repre-
sented Idaho in congress and says 1t
is due to the profession to be thus
honored.
The Idaho Republican suggests
that IL Mr.. Floed has no higher rea-
son for going to congress than those
two, it might be more credit to the
press il he would remain at the edi-
torial desk.
When men engage in politics it
is usually because they want to serve
the public and be in the limelight
for while. The active editor gets
his fill of both in the newspaper work
and it does not occur to him that
he could find any appetite for more.

NEWSPAPERS
FAILURES

Just now q number of Blackfoot
and Pocatello people are complaining
that they have subscribed for GER
tain newspaper and paid a long
period in advance and they are
afraid they will lose the money be-
cause the newspaper Office Is in the
hands of the sheriff under attach
ments for debts. This makes them
timid and If reliable newspaper
solicited their business they would
decline to pay in advance because
they had been stung once. They
would make no distinction between
dealing with gold brick crowd and
somebody that had property and
character and integrity. They figura-
lively shut their eyes and pay the
one and turn down the other and
lose in one instance and denOunce
the other unjustly.
While The Evening Courier was
being operated in Blackfoot, that
condition was going on regularly,
and when it failed, owing some
thousands of dollars to the people
who had trusted them, the patrons
then mistrusted other newspaper
management in town that fulfill all
obligations. In such instances they
like to enter the office of the sur
viving and reliable publisher and go
to telling how they have lost their
money on the gold brick and to ask
for years credit on the one they
would have been perfectly safe in
trusting. In such instances they re-
ceive about as much sympathy from
the publisher as the patron shows
good Judgment in his dealings.

BOOSTERS SUPPER
IN v. /. s. ROOMS

The second booster" supper took
place last evening in the v. /. s.
rooms and was superintendent and
served by the women of the v. I. s.
1t was thought not the best plan
to perfect the commercial club or
ganization at this time because not
all of the business men had been APP
preached and some were out of town,
and it seemed that to make the club
a real success it should not be formed
until all the support of the communi-
ty is behind it. The committee on
organization is composed of busy men
of affairs who had to attend to the
publicity part of this supper when
ever they had chance and SO very
naturally they could not call upon
every man who ought to be MEM
Der. The organization will work for
the interests of all and presupposes
the willing support of all.

Germans Take and Lose DaoumOnt

The first of the week the forces
of the crown prince lost most Of the
Daoumont fortress which they cap
tured some time ago. The French
succeeded in driving them from all
but one small angle. Large masses
of German troops were then hurled
back at the disputed point and failed
to take back any of the lost ground.
They attacked at Dead Mans hill
and gained footing for short time,
but were in turn driven out by the
French counter attack. The next
day word came that Daoumont had
once more fallen into the hands of
the Bavarian forces after a bitter
struggle.

TELEPHONES HARD TO GET

Manager L. J. Chapman, Of the
Blackfoot exchange, reports that they
now have IT'S phones and As applica-
lions on file. The price Of materials
has gone so high that the general
office has instructed all the branches
to get along with just as little con-
struction as possible. Copper is cost
ing three times its usual price now,
and they do not wish to tie up large
sums of money in copper and other
materials while prices are soaring
and then have to lose the investment
or charge the patrons exorhitant
prices for service to regain 1t. They
will do all they can to keep abreast
Of the pressing needs and make their
extensions after the slump comes In
prices.
