Boise Democratic Warfare.
A Boise dispatch of April Is

A Boise dispatch of April Is says:
The Pence -Nugent- Elder faction
of the democratic party in Ada
county, by control of proxies and
through appointments made by the
county chairman after a majority of
the committee at meeting held
March l6 had deprived him of that
power, dominated the county commit
tee meeting today by vote of 26 to
l2.
They adopted resolutions endors-
ing Alexander and Elder for national
committeeman ands elected a delega
tion palced under the unit rule
pledged to Elder.
Anti.machine members refused to
abide by the action of the committee
and have caelld for mass caucuses in
the different precincts to be held
April 81, at which deleagtes will be
elected to the Pocatello convention
who will be opposed to the Elder 5
appointment.
The anti Elder factions state that
the machine will not be able to con-
troll the Pocatello convention, and
that the anti-Eder delegation from
Ada and Canyon counties will be
seated, insuring the defeat of Elder.

Bird Club Makes Progress,

The Bird Club met Sunday after
noon at the Christian church. Thi.
was the time appointed for the boy.
and girs to bring in their bird houses
and many neat designs were dis.
played. Vivian Orcutt was awarded
first for boys over ten, and Howard
Hinckley for boys under ten.
For the girls over ten Velma Culber.
son got first and Dorothy McElwair
girls under ten. For special effort
Orland Swank and Lois Crisp were
awarded prizes. The prizes were
"Bluebird' pins and scroll saws, the
latter having set of twelve saws.
Much interest has been awakened in
the movement to become more intim-
ately acquainted with our feathered
friends, and the little folks eagerly
study each bird they see.
The next work of the club will be
to put up the houses. Then will
follow the interesting study of bird
life at close range when the birds
occupy the houses and build nests,
hatch their young and rear them.
Mrs. w. B. Wiley, who has made
this movement success, is doing the
boys and girls a merited service, for
which the parents owe her vote OF
thanks

Less Home Washing.

AS result of prohibition a Denver
laundry firm gained 4Ol new custo-
mers in one month. This means that
fewer wives and mothers are 'doing
their own washing" and that fewer
women are laundering for a living.
The saloon, says Governor Carlson,
mo longer gets the pay checks of
the poor. The pawnshops and the
jails are the only institutions that
have suffered falling off in patron
age. In my opinion. time in Color
ado will hereafter be counted not
from the date of the states admission
to the Union, but rather from the day
Colorado went dry"

Or0fin0 Needs Better Roads.

Orofino has every reason in the
world to be interested in good roads
leading into Orofino. We should
make it our business to see that the
farmer can get into our town at all
seasons of the year. We should de-
vote some time and private funds to
this work. We should wake up and
help accomplish this thing. Other
communities are not sitting down
waiting for the farmers to make
good roads into town. The business
men are organizing and carrying the
good roads movement into the
country. In many sections there is
a unity of action between the towns
and the rural communities, resulting
in great good to all. At Genesee
and Uniontown, in the Palouse
country, where majority of the
farmers own automobiles. the good
roads movement is booming. The
farmers have volunteered to gravel
many miles Of road, the county de-
livering the gravel or crushed rock
at the Genesee depot.

Should Maintain Our Rights.

No nation can hold its self respect
and let any warning nation trample
its rights under foot with impunity.
Should man move out of his own
home lest two fighting neighbors mur-
der his children? Should the United
States get off the oceans of the world
because some warning country may be
pleased to murder American citizens
and sink American vessels if we
don't?
Does Germany, or any other war
ring nation, acquire all right to
earth, air, ocean and land, simply be-
cause at war, and does America for
felt her rights of peaceful pursuit of
regular business because Germany or
any other country happens to be en-
gagged in war?
We abhor war, and love peace, but
war is better than dishonor, and this
country cannot think of submitting to
indignities heaped on insult. We
have a right to sal, the seas and
carry our commerce to the markets Of
the world when we do so in accord
with international law. What the
United States needs is enough back
bone to tell Germany where to head
in, and then deliver the goods. II
that means war, then let us have war
Let the spirit that inspired Amer car
heroes to oppose England and fight
the Revolutionary war impel Americs
today to maintain it's rights.
