STOP EMMA GOLDMAN?
Speaking in Philadelphia. She De-
mands Right to do as We Please"

Philadelphia. June 1.-The Phila-
delphia police halted Miss Emma
Goldman last night when she indirect
" urged her hearers not to register
under the selective draft law Detect
ives in the audience told her that her
address must come to an end or she
would be arrested. The New York
anarchist obeyed their Injunction
Miss Goldman was making an eff
fort to organize here a branch of the
mo Conscription League which
from its headquarters in New York
has circuIarized the country with
pamphlets discouraging registration.
Speaking from the platform at a
meeting she said:
"On the eve of registration day we
will hold a great mass meeting in
Manhattan as demonstration Of q
desire of the people to do as they wish
and not as others want them to do
We don't advise against registration;
but we dc tell those that register that
if they dc so they must take the con-
sequences of conscription-
The word "conscription" brought
the detectives to their feet and their
interference with the meeting.

DENIES DEBATE STORY
Sumner Principal Says Students Can
not Argue Consumption Question

Principal E. F. Stanley of Sumner
school today emphatically denied that
there was to be a debate at Sumner
on the question of whether or not the
United States should have conscrip-
ton. In reply to DR.. Eva Harding s
charge that such a debate was to be
held in one of the classes in his school
Mr. Stanley said: NO such debate
was ever contemplated here. We
would not consider arguing such a
question for a moment and there is
not a teacher in the school who would
think of tolerating such an unpatriotic
act
Sumner is the Topeka school which
recently established regular military
drill as part of its course, and IS a
leader IN the preparedness spirit
which is affecting the children in the
city schools

TO DO This BIT"
f. C.. Fox of Santa Fe Has No
Sons to Offer Country.
So He Considers Buying Bonds
Next Best Service.

At a meeting OF Santa Fe officials
in the office of General Manager F. c.
Fox this morning, to discuss plans for
selling liberty bonds to employees, Mr..
Fox spoke with considerable feeling
about the part he and others similarly
situated expect to take in the war.
I am too old to join the army" he
said, and I have no sons to offer for
the country's defense. There is only
one thing 1 can do to help the gov
eminent in this great crisis. and that
is to subscribe for liberty bonds. There
are thousands of employees in Santa Fe
service who are similarly situated. If
We do our bit N this respect, which is
our patriotic duty, we will have the
satisfaction of showing Santa Fe boys
at the front that our money as well as
our hearts are with them. I feel, that
subscribing for liberty bonds is the
greatest public service I have ever
been called upon to perform, or likely
ever will be called upon to perform.
The Santa Fe plan makes the
purchase of bonds comparatively easy
Tor every employe, and the investment
Is like keeping money in your stock
ing and drawing interest on it."
Details of Santa Fe Plan.
E l. Copeland, secretary and treas
urer, gave details of the Santa Fe plan
and explained the difference between
the two forms of liberty bonds-the
registered bonds, interest payments
made direct from Washington, and the
coupon bonds, interest payments made
thru the banks As an investment, the
bonds are of equal value.
The heads of departments are taking
up with their respective forces the
matter of purchasing liberty bonds
and the opinion is expressed that the
Santa Fe subscription will be a par
ticularly heavy one The arrangement
has been made for the Santa Fe to buy
the bonds and let employees have then
on the installment pIan-in ten equa
payments. Mr.. Copeland is handling
the subscription list.

OPINION IS GIVEN ON
LIQUOR PROSECUTIONS

Pocatello. Sept. 1s.-Tn an opinion
given by assistant Attorney General
j. P. Pope at the request OF Sheriff
George e. Mabie of this city. It IL
held that while a police Judge may
prosecute for drunkenness or drinking
in public he has no Jurisdiction over
cases involving violation Of the liQ-
uor laws. It Is set forth in the opin-
ion that since a city magistrate or
police Judge has no authority TO deal
with felonies or indictable misde-
meanors he Is without power when ii
comes to dealing with the sale,
transportation, receipt or possession
Of itoxicating liquors as they are In
dictable misdeemeanors.

LOCAL FARM YIELD LARGER
THAN WAS EXPECTED

It was indeed surprise. when,
this week, we learned that the local
wheat and barley yield was to be a
great deal heavier than had been ex-
pected for a long time; 1t is 80 much
better, in fact, that Bear Lake is go
ing to surpass other sections OF the
inter-mountain west by far.
The average yield will run well to-
wards 40 bushels per acre which is
fully 10 bushrels more than was ex-
pected. The barley yield this year
vii run well towards 70 bushels per
acre taking the county straight thru :,
the hay crop also is away above nor
nal. So much hay has been produced
in Bear Lake this season that no one
need fear any hay shortage this year
as was experienced during last win
ter and the late spring months Of the
present year.
Az far az we have learned Dave
Mouritsen's place near Bennington
has the record for producing wheat
this year-it is said that his average
yield will be better than ID bushels
per acre Those who are in touih with
conditions account for his extra yield
by the fact that the Mouritsen place
was one Of the few that got any real
benefit from a rain fall that was ex-
perienced In that section some few
weeks ago.
The price fixed by the govern
ment win mean that farmers, OF this
section will receive s1.6s for frs
grade wheat and authority has /
that he average prize will be well to
wards s1.55 per bushel.
The average price for farm iabo
in this section this season was So pc
day with room and board.

There ia no appeal to the presi-
