CITY SUPPORTS
FIRE. CAMPAIGN
MAYOR WARD ISSUES PROcLA-
NATION URGING COOPER
ALTON WITH OFFICIALS.

Owing to the fact that officials who
are conducting the state wide cam
paign for fire prevention will be in
Caldwell only this mornin, no effort
will be made to gather a group of
business men to meet them. Several
lectures will be given at the various
schools during the course of the morn
ing to instill in the children the inn
portance of fire prevention as a means
of reducing the enormous sums lost
annually through fire.
In regard to the statewide cam
paign now under way, Mayor Grant
Ward has issued the following proc
lamation:
The recent forest fires in this state
bring more closely to the minds of our
people the necessity of providing more
adequate fire protection and proven
ton against fire loss of all kinds. 1t
is generally apred that the majority
of fires are caused by thoughtlessness.
And with that idea in view a nation
wide campaign has been started on
the matter of fire prevention and pro-
lection.
This movement has been fostered in
this state by volunteer firemen, our
own local firemen being most active
in insuring the success of the move
ment in this state and especially in
this city. On Friday, September IL,
speakers will be here who are thor
oughly ACQUAINTED with their mission
to talk to school children and other
wise aid in this great educational CAM
paign.
Proclamation.
Now, therefore, I, w. Grant Ward,
mayor of the CITY of Caldwell, by vir-
tue of my office and the authority
conferred r. law, do hereh -,claim,
September 9th to 10th inclusive, as
those days set aside for the especial
purpose of paying attention to and
conducting, in the city of Caldwell, a
fire protection campaign.
For our mutual protection and
benefit / urge and recommend that
the fullest assistance and cooperation
be extended to those who have in
charge this campaign. l recommend
a general cleanup of all premises and
buildings urging you to keep in mind
that by so responding you render a
public benefaction. l recommend that
the subject be given attention in Our
schools and in civic societies for by
so doing, a substantial and lasting
impetus will be given this praise
worthy movement.

Attest: Mayor of Caldwell.

DOCUMENT.

The most blessed heritage given ms
by our forefothers is the Con stitution

have to thank the authors of the Con-

"For one hundred and thirty-two
years II has safeguarded the interests
of our people. They should know
more about It. It is not a pleasant
commentary on our intelligence to
find that there is little intimate knowi-

With the opening at Pocatello Mon
day, September 9th, of the camjaign
Tor fire prevention education in Idaho
by J. w. Stevens, noted expert, the
fire prevention campaign which is to
cover two weeks in this state was in
full swing. Following his appearance
in Pocatello, where he addressed
school children as well as business
men. Mr.. Stevens accompanied by O.
II. Barber, commissioner of immigra-
ton and labor statistics, went to Ru-
pert and Burnley Tuesday, Shoshone
and Gooding, Wednesday, and APP
peared in Boise Thursday night.
Following is the schedule for the
partybeginning today: Caldwell and

Ferry, 18th; Twin Falls and Buhl,
10th; Blackfoo, 18th; St. Anthony, IL;
Idaho Falls and Rexburg 10Th.
Big Tax for Everybody.
In speaking of the objects of the
campaign, Mr.. Stevens, said, upon his
arrival in Pocatello, Fire waste is
Americas most shocking form of in
efficiency. 1t amounts to an annual
tax of $2.Sl for every man, woman and
child in the country. while the per
capita tax in Europe amounts to only
IS cents.
The volume of fire loss in the
United States is very little appreciated
by our people. We become so accus-
toned to the flight of fire apparatus
along the streets as to become callous
to all that is involved in this constant
ly recurring experience, little appre-
eating the fact that every fire of any
volume whatever increases the cost Of
living and adds to the weight Of taxa
ton which Expresses the people.
The annual fire waste Of the
United States approximate $25O. co.,
wv. which reached the enormous sum
OF 3l7 millions during 1918. How can
It be otherwise than that the destruc-
ton of this vast vilume of the nations

COMMERCE MEN OF,
MILWAUKEE HERE

The special train carrying about one
hundred members of the Milwaukee
Commerce Club, together with an ex-
cellent band of twenty-four members
arrived in this city Wednesday morn
ing and were met at the depot by a
local committee made up of Geo. w.
Mead, F. ]. Wood, C. A. Normington,

Headed by their band, procession was
formed and marched thru the main
streets to the Public Library building

the automobiles with guests proceeded
to Biron, then to Port Edwards, Ne
koosa and then back to the west side

SIN, Observation-Disclosures

How improbable, yet possible in our
little city. Youth, yet old enough to
know better, young lady of 20 sum-
mers and young man of good address,
friends and neighbors, commit sin, then
he deserts her in time of trouble With
out counseling with her parents or
friends, she gives birth to a child in
the open air upon the commons and
leaves it there to die. At the end of
48 hours it is found and later dies. The
girl and her betrayer are arrested. He
for bastardy and she for murder
What sad condition of affairs. Who
is to blame? Where is the remedy ?
What lessons are we to draw from such
a disgraceful state of affairs in this
Goth century? The way of the trans
gressor is truly hard.

HELP THEM BOTH

We wanted about 80 cents worth of
soap or something, and the girl who
waited on US was so nice about it, so
determined to give us what we want
ed that we thought of something else
we needed. That was out of stock, but
the young lady knew so precisely what
we wanted and was so sincere about
its being on the way that we didn't
go elsewhere. That is more than SER
vice; it's salesmanship. That kind of
help is worth more extra pay.
Does this quality of service get what
is coming to it? Some times it does;
very often it doesn't. Of course al
most any business man will assure you
he's pretty careful to discover who is
bringing in the business. He tries to
be. But if you are we'll served, do you
ever go and talk about it? Isn't that
and the employe who is on the job?
1t won't really hurt anybody and it
will make you and the employee and
the employe happier.
You may say that it takes time AMI
trouble and doesn't do much good be-
cause most employers don't increase
the rewards on especially valuable
employees until some one else bids
more for their services. 1t is true
there are plenty of that kind of en-
ployers-old-fash but, alas not
wholly out of style. But they have q
pretty shrewd eye for their own inter
ests. Begin to advertise some clerk
or salesperson as one who shows q
real interest in serving you, and it will
help. What is more important to you,
you will feel better about it, in spite
of the people who will call you 4

MAJOR OTJEN HERE

A small audience greeted Major C.
J. Often at the Armory, Monday night,
who gave talk to the people in the
interest of the National Guards.
He made but brief address, en-
phasizing the need of guards for var
ious reasons. He showed where the
guards had held the front line in
France longer than had the regulars,
and in other ways had equally as good
a record. According to his figures
the work in France was largely borne
by the regulars and the guard, the
national army troops coming in dur
ing the closing days of the war. He
told of the unprepared state of the
country at the start of the war and
warned his hearers not to slide back
into the easy going frame of mind
inspired by the belief that nothing
can happen.
"The Mexican situation looks bad
and there is trouble brewing with
Japan" he said "and unless America
gets ready we may lose the next war.
A very small, but interested crowd
was present to hear Major Often.
Others who spoke were Otto Roenius
Senator |. P. Witter, Captain Arpin,
R. M. Gibson and Captain Wilbur Her
schleb.

LABOR DAY MONDAY,
SEPTEMBER 1st

The majority of the American peo-
pie have for long time recognized
the Importance and nobility of labor
as is proved by the fact that Labor
Day, the first Monday in September,
has for many years been legal holi-
day all over the United States and its
possessions. Americans have felt that
work was not only necessary for exis-
tence, but that it was making life
more worth while. They have re-
spected work and honored the laborer.
Yet, up until the war broke out,
they tolerated class of people who
lived without working, who profted
by the labor of others and enjoyed
many luNuries denied to the toiler.
But war cleared the atmosphere and
caused the people to judge man accord
ing to his worth to society. "Work or
fight" was the slogan.
And now that the war is over,
work" is still demanded. Profteers,
human parasites, are still in existence,
sucking the life Blood from the toilers,
but they are constantly becoming
more unpopular, and if, the 'signs of
the times" speak truly, it will not be
long before every dollar will be fore
ed to work and every laborer will re-
ceive full value for that which he pro-
duces.

A CATECHISM OF THE
CONSTITUTION OF THE
UNITED STATES
Continued from last week.)
Sixth Lesson

Sixth Lesson
Q. What is the meaning of the pro-
vision of the Constitution mo bill of
attainder or eX post facto law shall be
passed."
. A. A bill of attainder is an act tax
ing away the civil rights of a person
condemned to death. Any law of this
character is impossible under the A
merican Constitution. The prohibi-
ton against ex post facto law means
that laws cannot be made to operate
backwards.
NOTE.-It is fully settled that the
term Eek post facto" as used in the
Constitution is to be taken in a limit
ed sense as referring to criminal or
penal statutes alone, and that the pol
icy, the reason, and the humanity of
the prohibition against passing ex post
facto laws do not extend to civil cases
to cases that merely affect the private
property of citizens. Some of the most
necessary acts of legislation are, on
the contrary, founded upon the prin-
ciples that private rights must yield
to public exigencies. Wheat. 80;
Story Constitution PIP.
Q.-Is an export tax Constitutional? :?
A. No. because, the Constitution
specifically says that no tax or export
duty shall be laid on articles exported
from any State.
@. What is the provision relative
to commercial intercourse between the
States?
A The Constitution provides that
no preference shall be given by any
regulation of commerce or revenue to
the ports of one State over those of
another, no shall vessels bound to or
from one State be obliged to enter,
clear, or pay duties in another.
@. What safeguard is thrown a.
round Government expenditures
A. No money shall be drawn from
the Treasury unless by appropriations
made by law This gives the control
of the national purse into the hands
of the representative of the people.
@. Can the United States ever have
Lords, Dukes, or other titled citizens ?
A. No. The Constitution provides
that no title of nobility shall be grant
ed by the United States. 1t also pro-
vides that no person holding any office
of profit or trust under the United
States shall without the consent of Con
gress accept any present, profit, office
or title, of any kind whatever, from
any king, prince, or foreign state. Ow-
/ ing to this Constitutional provision ii
has been necessary for Congress to
enact special laws when citizens of the
United State have been presented with
gifts, titles or decorations by foreign
/ countries.
