TO THE MEN AND WOMEN
OF ST. MARES

The faith in the sincerity of
our Nation n protesting her ad-
herence to high Christian ideals
is at stake before the whole
world and we need not expect to
come clear if we longer neglect
TO help in the feeding of starving
Belgium. When the appeal first
came to US, we were stirred by a
superficial enthusiasm to give,
and since then we have considered
the relief work in Belgium as our
own. However we have given
practically nothing for more than
a year and a half. Meanwhile
a million boys and girls are
starving in Belgium. Shall we
stand before the world as a heart
less, selfish nation, or shall we
carry out our Christian ideals and
be Father to the Fatherless and
n husband to the widows Of Bel
GUM? I believe that the folk OF
st. Maries will do their part in
iustifying our Christian deals
when this is called to their atten-
ton. Our break of diplomatic
relationship with Germany does
not affect our relief work in any
way.
The Literary Digest or some
similar agency furnishes a mean:
for all contributions. I will D'
glad to forward any moneys tina
are sent to me.

four senator's voted against the

Unless the legislature is able
to put aside some of the threat

cOEUR D'ALENE TO
LOSE SUPREME COURT

Boise, Idaho, March THE
senate has decided that Occur d.
Alene shall not have another SEES
sion of the supreme court. A
bill has passed that body giving
Pocatello two terms of court and
removing the court from Occur
d'Alene. Boise, Pocatello and
Lewiston will each have two
terms.
This action was taken only
after strenuous debate wherein
there were many charges and
counter charges of selfish inter
ests being involved. Practical
ly all the northern senator's
fought the bill. Senators Mel
son of Kootenai and Kinsolving
.ot Benewah fought the bill to the
last.
"Our calendar in Occur d'Alene
is now two years behind" said
Senator Kinsolving, land if the
court is taken away from there,
it will be much further behind.
We pay in five counties 25 per
cent of the taxes of the state and
are entitled to some considera-
ton"
Senator Nelson explained that
that section of the state was sep
arate and apart from the other
section surrounding Lewiston
and there would be great hard
ship and expense in making the
court at Lewiston.
The two senator's repeatedly
said they would favor term at
Pocatello even if the court were
left at Occur d'Alene, but this
suggestion was not accepted, Ger
tain senators saying that the SUI
preme court could not possibly be
placed on wheels and carted all
over the state"
The million dollar highway
bill was up again this morning
on motion to reconsider. When
it was called up there was con-
siderable excitement. 1t de-
veloped, however, that it was
brought back simply for the pur-
pose Of removing tn amendment
which was tackled on yesterday
The bill has now passed just as
it came from the house and i:
ready for the signature of the
governor.
THE fish and game law will b,
amended in the senate" says rep
resentative Kiger. Fishing vii
be permitted in the st. Joe rive
during April and May. Ice fish
ing will be prohibited on LAX
Occur d'Alene. We may be abb

THIRTV-THREE CARS OF
GROCERIES BROUGHT IN

Few people realize the vast
Importance of the wholesale bust
ness in this city. POwell-San-
ders alone, whose business is
handled over the Red Collar Line
and by Cole & Co., shipped thirty
three cars of flour, sugar and
other grocery commodities this
year. This does not take in
to consideration the other whole
sale houses in this section nor
the vast amount of local freight.

BIG SUM PROVIDED
FOR GOOD ROADS

FOR GOOD ROADS
Boise, Idaho, Feb. 2S=The
legislature awoke today to the
fact that it has pending before
it a stringent military draft bill
and the debate that followed in
the house of representatives al
most resulted in a personal en-
counter. Majority Leader Moo
ly resented a remark by Repre-
sentative Grice of ShOshOne cOun-
ty and dared him to accompany
him outside the chamber TO set
tie the matter. Representative
Shearer, who was in the chair,
stopped the controversy by or
dering the sergeant-at-arms to
preserve order in the chamber,
forcibly if necessary.
The house military draft bill
reached third reading today and
was up for final passage when
Representative Miles drew atten-
ton to the draft clause con-
tanned therein. He moved it be
stricken and the house went in
to committee of the whole. Moo
dy defended the bill. A general
debate followed, in which refer
ence was made to the probability
Of the United States being drawn
into war with Germany and the
constant friction between western
states and Japan. Finally Grice
of Shoshone county made direct
reference to the provision con-
tanned in the bill for the ap-
pointment of an adiutant general,
claiming that was the main rea-
son why an effort was being made
to pass the measure.
Majority Leader Moody is adj
iutant general of the state and
he resented the insinuation. Fac
ing Grics he declared, you're
treading on dangerous ground, "
repeating the remark and invited
Grice out of the chambers to set
tie the matter. 9TH 60" said
Grice, "but it will not be a fair
fight" and started to rise and
follow Moody when the chairman
sharply raped the members TO
their seats and ordered tn SER
geant-at-arms TO use force if
necessary to maintain order.
The committee arose without
taking action on the bill.
By a vote of "a toll the senate
ordered the anti-alien land bill
lprinted. This is the measure
identical with the one that passed
the house, but was later defeated
lin the senate. It was introduced
by Senator Bradbury of Bonnie
willie county and is aimed TO pre-
vent Japanese ownership of
sugar beet lands in the south
eastern part of the state.
The senate also passed the
$1,000, 900 good road bond issue
under suspension of the rules af-
ter so amending it that the state
treasurer may dispose of the
bonds and receive bids for them
while the legislature is in ses-
lsion, without going to the ex-
lpense of advertising them. This
will save $4,000 to the state in
commissions. The Legislature
will ratify the sale.
Several bond house representa-
tives are now on the ground to bic
on She issue. This bill, wheI
approved by the governor, makes
; available s2,75O,OOO federal, state
, and county money for good rOaC
