follow more suffering and hardships

Moreover almost all of the neces-

AN INDUSTRY KILL

ING PROPOSITION
1t is peculiar thing how pol ii
clans and aggitators in a section pc
culiarly adapted to some line of in
dustry, continually attempt TO pasi
legislation detrimental to develop
ment of such industry.
AS an illustration, take the pro
posed bill before the Idaho Ingisla
ture to limit the length OF trains.
The railroads have been expend
ing large sums eliminating curves
and grades, double tracking, laying
heavy steel and balasting, to give
better service. The C. M. & st. P.
has spent millions electrifying. All
this has been done with a view to
hauling larger loads with fewer en-
gines thus reducing to a minimum
the danger of accidents due to an
increasing number of trains on
same track.
Now the aggitator steps in and
says no. we want short trains VIII oh
will give employment to two men
where only one is needed.
There would be every bit as much
S nse in proposing law that after
a farmer had assessed himself for a
hard surfacing road in his country
that he be required to use two va
CONS to haul a larger load which he
had contemplated hauling on one,
when he built the road.
With such a law, how much hard
surfaced road would be built In Ida
40?
With such law will additional
abroad improvements be encouraged
n the state?
The main reason for electrifying
'ailroads is to haul larger trains with
me engine.
Train limitation laws discourage
identification and consequently re-
ard development Of Idaho's Won
erful water powers.
This is an industry killing meas
re and should be given a wide
erth by growing state Hike Idaho.
The same arguments apply equally
yell to any western state whore such
Measures are proposed

Dor says he just can't make those
chickens behave, knowing, as you
sorrowfully do, that his chickens
don't bother his own garden, and that
if your neighbor can't keep his chick,
ems up he ought to kill the last one
of them and invite you to kill them
too, why of course you feel like sit,
ting right down and having a song
and a prayer with that chicken

frown at the attorney. So. Of course
in this instance the attorney should
have been licked and licked good and
proper, and should have been fined
besides. But since things do not al

it would be best for defendants and
witnesses to adopt the policy Of a

right at the start that he was a flop

LONG BRANCH ISSUES
CHALLENGE TO TEN MILE
Statement That Ten Mile Won Series

Statement That Ten Mile Won Series
of Debates Denied-Each Side Has
Won Ono Debate and Third of Sc
ries Has Not Been Held
To the Editor of The Robesonian:
1 note with great surprise in re-
cent issue Of The Robesonian whore
it is stated that in a series of de-
bates between Ten Mile and Long
Branch schools that Ten Mile won.
Now Prof. Davis or some Of the good
folks at Ten Mile must have dream
ed that for only two OF the series
has been held yet. The first was at
Ten Mile on January ~. With three
intelligent judges, each of them said
that the Long Branch boys won. Tho
second of the series was held at Long
Branch on Feb. %, and with three
intelligent judges they split on the
decision and decided 2 to 1 in favor
of Ten, Mile. Since that time our
boys have waited patiently for chal-
lenge for the third Of the series but
all they have heard from them is the
statement in the paper that the Ten
Mile boys have won the series. TO
have done so they would necessari-
ly have had one more debate. We
wonder where it was held? And why
We were not invited to be present :?
Surely there must be some mistake
somewhere, for I feel sure that Prof.
Davis and his boys can not be respon-
sible for such misleading statements.
Some time ago the girls Of Ten
Mile challenged the Victoria society
of girls at Long Branch to start a
series of debates between the girls
fthe two schools. But it was ex-
pressedly stated by Prof. Davis and
| the girls that the series between the
girls would not in any way affect
the series being held between Ten
Mile boys and Dotson literary society
of boys from Long Branch. So sure
/ ly that could not in any way have
caused the statement that the Long
Branch boys had refused to meet them
again. Our boys have all the time
been anxious to finish out the Sc
ries and as we have not heard from
Ten Mile we are today mailing them
the following challenge.
