Prominent Young Man
Passed Away Saturday

Wilson Keith Snyder departed this
life at his home, just after noon, Sat-
urday, May 3, after suffering an in
fluenza relapse.
Mr.. Snyder was born January 80,
1888 at Cokeville, Wyo., and moved
to Blackfoot with his parents in
1907, having been a constant. resi-
dent here since that time. For the
past eight years he very competently
filled position in the Blackfoot post
office and it was his steadiness and
capability that gradually brought
him promotions, the last one being
a promotion to the stamp window,
which place he filled for only a week
before his illness compelled him to
retire.
Mr.. Snyder was an active member
of the K. P. lodge and out of frater-
nal reverence and respect for their
departed brother, the committee
have postponed a social event plan
ned for this week.
Mr.. Snyder was married to Miss
Cassie May Cleary on the first of
June, 1913, and two little daughters
have been born to that union, Ruth
age five years, and Dorothy May age
sixteen months. Besides his wife
and daughters Mr.. Snyder is survived
by his mother Mrs. S. Snyder of
Ogden; brother Orville E., local
barber; four sisters, Mrs. F. A..
Sloan and Mrs. Hazel Won Losto-
wicka of Blackfoot and Mrs. w. J..
Banks of Ualatka, Flo, and Mrs. L..
NJ. Stevens of Ogden. All arrived in
Blackfoot to attend the funeral SER
vices, which will be conducted from
the home at 2 p. m. Tuesday after
noon with Rev. Cullison officiating.
The X. P. lodge will have charge of
the ceremonies at the cemetery.

Will Entertain the
Parents and Patrons

A combination of events have been
planned to take place at the high
school Friday evening, at which time
the school management will en-
deavor to entertain all patrons Of the
school. They are especially anxious
to have large representation of
parents present, to learn something
of the school buildings and the ad-
vantages they afford.
From 7 o'clock until $50 there
will be a reception and opening for
the new technical building and the
time and attention will be given over
to a review of the building and it's
departments. The domestic science
girls will illustrate for their depart
ment by doing little cooking and
the annual exhibit of the work done
in the manual training department
will be conducted. The mechanical
drawing room promises to be full Of
interesting things and something the
parents will be anxious to study.
After the hour and a half spent
in this way, Miss Baron's gymnasium
class Of girls will entertain with
various drills and maneuvers in the
gymnasium at the high school build
ing, to which every one is invited and
for which there will be no admis-
sion charge.
After these exercises the visitors
will be ushered again to the techni-
cal building and nice refreshments
are promised; perhaps it will be
something prepared in the domestic
science department by the young
ladies.

HALL PACKED
FOR JUNIOR PROM
Decidedly a Successful
Social Event in
Every Way
A MERRY THRONG

Before it was quite dark Friday
evening radiant couples of young
sters were radiating in the direction
of the Aloha hall for the Junior
promenade. And never did the
Aloha, perhaps, shine with so much
bedazzlement; at least it never held
so fine and large an assembly of
dancers young and old.
The grand march, at $50, was
composed of full train of fifty-five
couples, and as for spectators, the
wall all round was well lined with
them. The march was led by Miss
Miriam Pearson, president of the
junior class and her partner, Frank
Woodard. Following them came the
patrons and patronesses: Professor
and Mrs. w. d. Vincent, Principal
and Mrs. Charles Eichelberger
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. F. Hansbrough, Mr..
and Mrs. Ernest Pearson
Mr.. and Mrs. Beebe, patron and
patroness, were unable to attend the
promenade, because of sickness at
their home.
Chester Vincent and Miss Baron,
sponsors of the junior class, held
advisory control of events, and di-
rected the grand march.
Decorations were in charge of
Miss Thelma Larsen, with dozen
helpers, and made the hall strikingly
typical of school spirit and COM
radery. Pennants adorned every
re-
served by young ladies in two op-
posite corners Of the room, made
into booths, and hung with colored
ribbons. The other two corners
were sheltered with other hangings
of ribbons, the one farthest from the
entrance being all in red and black,
the junior colors Apple blossoms
hung in flower pots suspended from
the ceiling beams, adding fragrance
and an air Of spring to the general
effect.
Besides over hundred couples
constantly on the floor dancing there
were about seven scores of guests
who just enjoyed seeing the others
dance.

least effect upon the rest of the
public, judging by the attendance
at the junior prom, which was at

Only by one sign did one remem-
Der, in looking over the gay gather
ing, that big war had just passed
away, and that was the erectness of
the men, most of whom have come
out of army camps and overseas
within the past few months. The
grand march was better done by far
than would ever have been seen two
years ago at any civilian ball.
The junior class may well remem-
Der with pride the success and per-
fection of their supreme event of the
year.

MASONS INITIATE AND
ARRANGE TO ASK CHARTER

The Blackfoot chapter of Royal
Arch Masons conferred the Royal
Arch degree upon six candidates at
their Friday meeting of last
week commencing at o'clock
in the evening, and having a banquet
in the middle Of the ceremonies.
The noviciates were w. D. Gagon,
Howard Snodgrass, Charles F. Dah-
man, J. e. Estensen, A. T. Springer
and J. J. Quillin.
Out of town masonic visitors who
attended the initiation were l.. E.
Fisher of Idaho Falls and R. G.
Early, A. T. Marshall and R. W. Nc
Cracken of Pocatello and there were
others. Major. H. H. Miller, Fl.
Hall agent came up for the occasion.
At the business session of the day
Lon Cone was elected to attend the
grand chapter meeting at Moscow,
Idaho, to be held ON May 21,. where
he will support the petition of the
Blackfoot chapter for a charter.
There are twenty-five members of
the chapter and few more petitions
to be acted on.
For this very successful meeting
the Blackfoot masons played in
especial good luck. They had ordered
a complete equipment Of parapher-
MALTA early in March, but had ar
ranged to borrow equipment for this
occasion from the Pocatello lodge.
A car bringing the shipment arrived
in Pocatello Thursday evening, was
spotted by watchful Masons there,
then taken out and expressed up
here, so that it arrived just two
hours before the ceremonies COM
menced.

BOOSTER PICNIC and NEWSPAPER MEMS
CONVENTION PLANNED FOR this MONTH
Two Events Among Many That are Arousing
Keen Interest and Receiving Hearty
Support From Many People
TO PLACE BLACKFooT ON THE MAP
Events of Pleasure Coming

Notable events are coming two at
time at Blackfoot now. There
will be several pairs of them within
the next two weeks. One pair of
events slated for this community
May "a and 25 is a convention of
Utah and Idaho newspaper men for
Saturday, May "a and the other is
the annual boosters picnic for Sun
day, May 25.
! Happenings That are Different
The Saturday event will probably
be the biggest newspaper conference
ever held in Idaho, and the Sunday
event promises to be the biggest
picnic ever held in the state. The
picnic grounds are at the foot of the
eastern Butte around the opening of
the great cave known as the Mayohi,
near the center of the Dubois project,
thirty-two miles north of Blackfoot
and about an equal distance west
from Idaho Falls at the crossing of
the desert roads.
Keen Interest Manifested
Commercial clubs in the towns
from Pocatello to Dubois, including
Aberdeen and Arco are taking an
interest in the matter, with view Of
getting parties of their autoists to
take part in the monster picnic. A
number of the BlackfoOt boosters
have been arranging the prelimin-
aries of these affairs for several
weeks and nothing has been an
nounced to stand in the way of these
dates and nothing has been an
nounced that has aroused more in
terest or more hearty response
than these two affairs. No program
of newspaper convention ever an
nounced in this state has aroused a
deeper interest than the one an
nounced for Blackfoot on the twenty
fourth of May. 1t is designed to
combine business with pleasure, but
business is the big event of the day.
Exhibit of Modern Machinery
The Idaho Republican is arrang-
ling for demonstration of three ma
chimes that are revolutionizing the
big task of type-setting in the print
ing industry. They will have on ex-
hibit, three modern machines that
seem to be changing the method of
printing from hand-set type to what
is known as the all-slug system, with
the sl&gs cast rapidly by machinery.
A Unique Labor Saver
The three machines to be exhibited
are the particular kind of linotype,
known as the model fourteen, the
Miller saw and the Ludlow typo
graph, new invention that seems
destined to be a companion piece for
the linotype, to, cast the large type
in slugs as the linotype casts the
fine type in slugs. A number of
printing houses in the United States
have tested the typograph and pro-
nounced it a marvellous success. The
Idaho Republican is installing one
Of these machines in addition to its
already modern equipment and pro-
poses to be the pioneer in the inter-
banishing the hand-set type in the

NON-PARTISIAN
DAILY IN TROUBLE
Farmers and Stockhold-
ers Dismiss Editorial
Force From Press
THE RESOLUTIONS

At an mitigation meeting held at
Nampa Friday evening, May 2, resO-
lutions were passed demanding the
immediate removal Of the editorial
force from the idaho Free. Press. y
and expressing strong resentment
against the papers editorial policy for
some time, especially a recent one
entitled Bombs and Free Speech. y
The resolutions were to be cir
culated and signed by the citizens OF
Nampa and farmers before present
ing to the management of the non
partisan publishers. This is the
paper we have referred to as financed
on the watered stock plan. It was
promoted by W. G. Scholtz.
At the meeting were a number of
farmer stock holders in the publica-
t1on, several of whom expressed the
strong conviction that no farmer
could subscribe to the policy nor toll
crate the utterances of the co-called
farmers paper. Following are the
resolutions:
Resolutions
The following resolutions were
drawn up by direction of a mass
meeting Friday to protest against
the editorial policy of the Idaho Free
Press:
I'VE, the undersigned citizens of
Nampa and vicinity, after full dis
cussion in an open meeting held in
Nampa on May 2, 1919, do hereby
adopt the following resolutions and
direct that copy be presented to the
editorial manager of the Co-Opera-
tive Publishing company.
Eve demand the immediate re-
moval of the present editorial force
fro mthe daily Idaho Free Press and
an immediate change of the editorial
policy of the paper for the following
reasons:
1--WE regard the editorial published
Friday morning under the caption of
Bombs and Free Speech as an in
suit to the courts of our country and
to other republican institutions, and
we regard previous editorials as
more or less un-American.
Eve demand that the Co-Opera-
tive Publishing company publish
Americanism as distinguished from
anarchy and we refuse to recognize
or patronize the Idaho Free Press
under its present editorial policy.
1--WE protest against and condemn
the unwarranted attacks upon Judge
Lands and Prosecuting Attorney
Fickert under the guise of having
been active in suppressing free
speech, and we assert that these Of
ficials have done their full duty to
their country in the prosecution of

persons guilty of murder and sedition
and we regard the editorials of the
Idaho Free Press as an effort to con-
done such offenses; all of which is
so intolerable that no apology will
suffice"

Remember that the highest type
of man fears nothing, is deferred
by nothing, ask for nothing, but
demands what he needs as his
right; in short, he dominates both
things and inferior men.
