Letters From the People
Some Pertinent Facts.

standing the contentious of the recall
people to the contrary, the following
statements are facts:
Not a private home in Boise has been
invaded in any search made for in
toxicating liquors by the police depart
rnent since the prohibition ordinance
went into effect here.
Not a lock, door, trunk, box, grip or
anything else has been broken by the
officers in searching any premises any
where in Boise My department has
used patience rather than force.
No person or property has been
harmed in the least through any search
or inspection made. Every search has
been quietly and courteously conducted
by the city's peace officers and no in
dividual has been subjected to the
slightest indignity. A full measure Of
consideration has been shown every
one concerned, and on practically every
occasion the officers making search
were informed that 1t would be all right
for them to make it.
In every case but one filed for haR
ing liquor and in every case but one
filed for drunkenness pleas OF guilty
were entered by the defendants, and in
these two exceptions the defendants
were found guilty after fair trials.
There have been 10 cases for having
Intoxicating liquors and Il for drunk
enness filed and successfully proseeut-
ed through the department since jan

for some dinner-and then-she

she exclaimed to herself. 1T sounds

She opened the door and walked
right in, as the kind neighbors who
owned the barn had often told her
she might; and then, Just inside the
