During the late campaign
some one said to the editor that
Thorwald Larson, the democratic
candidate for county attorney,
was a stubborn as Missouri mule
and as tenacious as a bull dog
when he once had his mind made
up. In view of some recent
events We are inclined to believe
the statement. Last week aman
was arrested charged with boot
logging and he was released in
Judge Simpsons court for lack
of evidence to convict, but Lar
son had the sheriff's office swear
out another complaint before the
justice at Holbrook, and he was
taken there Saturday, given a
hearing and bound over to the
superior court under $500 bond.
Mr.. Larson has evidently made
up his mind the man is guilty as
charged, and he don't propose to
let him get away. Larson may
be democrat, but he acts just
like a republican.

Congress has finally woke up
to a realization that this country
is heading for prohibition. The
senate tackled on two amend
ments to the postoffice appropria-

offense to ship liquor into dry
states; and one barring from the
use of the mails any publication
carrying liquor advertising.
With these provisions written in
the federal law boot-leggers will
have to deal with the govern
ment when caught violating, the
law, which will mean a term in

When the paper manufacturers

When the paper manufacturers
trust learned the government
had appointed Francis Heney to
bring crimi ma prosecutions
against them for violation of the
antitrust laws they hurriedly
sent their representatives to
Washinton, AMI agreed with the
Secretary of the Treasury that
they would reduce their prices
to the figures suggested by the
federal trade commission. But
what about the millions of dol
lars the pirates have Wrung from
the newspapers publishers dur
ing the past two years. The
criminal prosecutions should not
stop until this money has been
recovered at least in fines, even
if it cannot be returned to the
people from whom it was filched.
1t was a cool premeditated raid
of highwaymen disguised as re-
putable manufacturers to rob the
newspapers Of the country on q
trumped-up defense that the
European war increased the cost
of production, which they admit
ted was false in their testimony
before the trade commission.

Senate Bill 48, introduced by
Senator Whipple, probably had
for it's object the putting out of
business of company stores at
the different mining camps, but
if it passes in it's present form it
will rob the railroad men of their
hospital benefits. The bill in eff
feet provides that no deductions
shall be made from the pay check
of any employe for the payment
of any claim or bill for merchan-
disc purchased by said employe,
but the courts in a strict inter-
probation of the law will hold
that deducting the fifty cents or
one dollar a month for hospital
fees is payment for merchandise,
as medicines are furnished on
request to any employe by the
company physician, which is
included in the hospital benefits.
Mining companies also maintain
a hospital benefit for their en-
ployes on the same basis as the
railroads. Before the bill is
finally passed provision should
be made exempting fees deduct
ed for hospital and insurance
benefits for the employees.
