WEALTHY BOOZE
RING OPERATING
IN IDAHO, CHARGE
Enormous Profits Made
in Illegal Traffic,
1t Is Said

SPOKANE, Wash.-Charges that
Spokane harbors million dollar
booze ring of wealthy men who hire
agents to carry whiskey across the
Canadian line to Spokane" have been
made by Charles Rykert, Canadian
customs officer at Rykert's customs
station, just across the Canadian Dor
der from Fort Hill, Idaho.
There is no American customs Of
ficer at that point, no federal pro-
sheriff or deputy. Port Hill is as
open a gateway as unguarded high
ways and hundred unmatched trails
over the border can make it.
"a large portion of the liquor traf-
tiic ocross the line here is financed
by ring of Spokane millionaires
who send their agents to British CO.
lumbia for liquor" declared Rykert
Their men do not think any more of
losing $4,000 or $4,000 car than
you and | do of losing nickle.
when an agent loses his machine
while trying to carry 20 or more
cases of liquor into the states, the
next time he comes he may have a
larger and finer car than he had be-
fore.'
Mr.. Rykert declared that as many
as six large expensive machines load
ed with liquor cross the border to-
ward Spokane in one night. Each
automobile cargo of whiskey costs
approximately $140O in British Co.
lumbia and is sold in this country
by the bottle for total of $4,000,
figuring it at $40 a quart. The six
machines carry, it was estimated, Ii
quor, to sell in Spokane for about
$4,000
Figuring that an average number
of six cars daily owned by the al
legged Spokane ring of wealthy boot
leggers cross the line every night
headed for Spokane, declared the Ca
madam customs officer, the traffic
totals $S64,000 per month, about
100000 of this being profit.
And this is not all that crosses the
line declared Rykert. There are
hundreds of trails through the woods
on both sides of Fort Hill where boot
leggers hide their liquor, check out
through the customs office, cross the
line and then return to the hiding
place for their whiskey."
Mr.. Rykert declared that it is not
his duty, especially, to see that no
liquor gets into the United States.
He is there, he said, to see that peo-
pie who enter Canada for touring
purposes do not leave with Canadian
goods.

DEMOCRATS TALK
REORGANIZATION
Conference Called to
Consider Plans for
New Party

WASHINGTON Demo-
Gratis with a record of long service
in the party have been invited to
participate in the series of confer
ences which will open in Washing
ton on November 10 for the purpose
of recognizing the party and re-
constructing it once more as fac
tor in American politics.
Among those whose names are
mentioned in connection with the
conferences are the following:
William Jennings Bryan, Homer
Cummings, former chairman of the
national committee; Joseph w. Folk,
former governor of Missouri; Sena-
tors Henry F. Ashurst, of Arizona,
David |. Walsh of Massachusetts, and
w. J. Harris of Georgia, George
White, present chairman of the ma
tional committee; Edmund H. Moore,
of, Ohio, pre-convention manager for
Governor Cox; Secretary of Com
merce Alexander and Senator Rob
inson of Arkansas.
The movement took definite shape
with the announcement that the first
meeting will be held November 10.
A committee on organization will be
named at this meeting and arrange
ments made for general convention
of representatives from every state
with which definite plans will be de-
termined upon.
The leaders in the movement hope
that out of the fearful wreck made
of the party organization last Tues
day they will be able to form party
which will assimilate all the pro-
gressives and liberal elements among
the voters in the country. They have
not yet decided whether to restrict
the movement to an attempt to re-
construct the Democratic party or to
form new party which would in
clude the progressives now aligned
with other party organizations.

PEOPLE RID ECT THE
DIRECT PRIMARY.

The people of Idaho have spoken
regarding the direct primary and they
have rejected it.
The Republicans in their state
convention went over the matter
carefully, made an issue of 1t on
the floor of the convention, had a
long discussion of whether they
would re-enact the old statewide
direct primary or merely make some
amendment to the existing form.
One delegate in the convention,
Mrs. Won Cannon from north Idaho,
differed from the others and plead
for the statewide primary because
the women wanted it. After she had
finished her plea all the other women
delegates in the house got up and
repudiated her statement by saying
that they did not want it. When it
came to a vote there was only one
delegate in the house who was in
favor of the statewide direct pri-
mary.
The Democrats and Nonpartisans
sought to make it political issue
and raved up and down the state
about robbing the people of their
rights in the direct primary. The Re-
publicans proposed to preserve it in
its present conditions with slight
amendments. The Democrats pro-
posed to again make it statewide so
that state officers would be NOM
mated in the primary. The Repub-
licans deny that this is workable
plan; they claim that it dominates
the weaker candidates and defeats
the stronger ones. The people went
to the polls and elected the whole
Republican ticket as their answer
to the Democratic and Nonpartisan
a citation That leaves them without
a leg to stand on and they should now
consider the matter settled.

ORIGIN OF THANKSGIVING

first real Thanksgiving day from
which we date our celebration. This
celebration, altho without doubt the
origin of our national Thanksgiving
day, may be looked upon as merely
a local observance, being held by the
Plymouth colony only. They were
the forerunners of less local celebra-
tions in Massachusetts and gradually
in other colonies, for in 1880 pub
ic Thanksgiving day was observed in
Boston by the Bay colony, and again
in 1881.
During the next fifty years there
were as many as twenty-five public
Thanksgiving days appointed in Mas
sachusetts, usually in October or
November, after the gathering in of
the haryests, or to celebrate some
public benefit. 1t did not become a
regular holiday until a long time
afterward.
In 1889 Washington issued the
famous Thanksgiving proclamation
recommending Thursday, November
26, as national day to be devoted to
prayer and Thanksgiving. Washing
tons example was followed by other
presidents.
In 1868 President Lincoln ap-
pointed the fourth Thursday in No
vember as the national Thanksgiving
day. Since then the day has been
observed annually without Interrupt

The ancient Thanksgiving did not,
as some have fancied, skip down the
ages to find it's home in America. In
one way or another it seems to have
always been observed Turnout
Europe, before the reformation,
special days were set apart as days
of religious Thanksgiving. The
American Thanksgiving day is traced
back to the Pilgrims.
Shortly after the landing of the
Pilgrims, while searching for suit
able place in which to build their
homes, they one day came upon some
deserted Indian huts, in which they
found some baskets filled with corn.
From this supply they succeeded in
saving enough to plant their first
years crop.
In the spring of 1921 the seed
corn was sown and it's growing
watched .anxiously by the people OF
the little colony. To their great joy,
the harvest of the following October
was bountiful one. Governor
Bradford ordered a three days feast
in celebration thereof. Wild turkeys,
geese, ducks and water fowl, corn
bread and vegetables no doubt
formed the chief constituents of their
feast, not to speak of the five deer
brought in by a tribe of friendly
Indians.
This festival is supposed to be the

NEW ADMINISTRATION PLANS
FOR PROGRESSIVE LEGISLATION

WASHINGTON.-The first act of
the Republican congress elected Nov
ember 2, will be to pass resolution
declaring state of peace to exist
between the United States, Germany
and Austria, it was learned from
senatorial source here. When Presi-
dent HARDING has signed the resolu-
ton, which, according to one sena-
tor, he is prepared to do, the gov
eminent will proceed without delay
to appoint diplomatic and consular
officials to the central powers, and
to resume all of the normal relations
existing between peaceful govern
ments. Settlement of various claims
against the former belligerents, 1t
was stated, will be submitted to COM
mission. Such course, the Universal
Service authority stated, will leave
the United States entirely free from
any provision Of the Versailles treaty
and the league Of nations. We can
then accept or reject any proposal
made by England or France for con-
certed policy in regard to the central
powers.
Republican leaders stated here to-
day that the overwhelming vote
which swept Harding into office will
be regarded as mandate from the
people against the present league Of
nations. While the coming short ses-
sion of congress will be devoted
largely to routine such as appropria-
tion and deficiency bills, the special
session of congress will be called
after President Harding is inaugural
ed, will it was stated, be replete
with important legislation.
First will come revision of the in
come and excess profits tax. While
it is barely possible that the meas
ure will be taken up at the short ses-
sion, a few members of congress in
Washington expressed belief that it
will hardly be possible.
Most Republican congressman are
in favor of eliminating the excess
profits tax altogether because of its
direct bearing upon the high cost of
living. President-elect Harding, how
ever, has expressed the view that,
Democratic extravaganza, it
will not be possible to reduce the
total income of the government. 1t
will be necessary, therefore, to OBJ
tain new source of revenue before
the excess profits tax can be alto
gether dropped. This he proposes to
do through a protective tariff.
New tariff legislation revising the

MEMBERSHIP WEEK FOR
THE RED CROSS.

Beginning Thursday the annual
Red Cross roll call occurs, and citi-
Zens of Blackfoot and Bingham
county will have the privilege of pay
ing annual membership dues of 81 90
or as much more as they care to give.
November IL to November 25 is the
period set apart for this event
Until the years of the war the Red
Cross was generally looked upon as
charitable institution that some
how or other sprang into being in
cases of emergency, and the general
public was not informed as to it's
workings or how it was organized or
maintained. With the war, however,
there came such a demand upon the
Red Cross for hospital and general
relief work, that vast organization
was built up and now it numbers
branches, chapters and auxiliaries
reaching to the farthermost parts of
the nation. The work of the organi-
cation is not confined alone to this
country or to- it's armed forces, for
during the war relief expeditions
were sent to and maintained in Rus
STA, Poland, the Balkans, Armenia,
and other places where there was de-
mand for it's services.
Idaho belongs to the northwest
division, with headquarters at Seattle
and that the Red Cross functions
at home as we'll as abroad or in
times of war is seen by the fact that
in case of disaster or emergency the
organization is ready with instant re-
lief. This was true at Mosier, Ore,
when fire left many families destitute
and at Marshfield, Ore, when the
Marshfield chapter cared for the sur
vivors of the wrecked schooner
"Chanslor" and searched for the
bodies of the dead
On many other occasions when dis
aster has visited communities the
Red Cross has given proof of it's eff
fective organization by extending in
slant relief with a hand of mercy.
The Red Cross is now organized in !
Bingham county, and half of the
membership dollar given by local

entire schedule sharply upward is al
ready in progress of formation, 1t
was stated here. 1t will serve the
double purpose of protecting Ameri-
can industries from dumping from
abroad and raising essential revenue.
Among other important legislation
that will come before the next con-
gress are revision of the shipping
board act; measures to strengthen
the Volstead law; passage of a bud
get bill and laws to restrict immi-
grafton.
Measures to strengthen the Vol
stead law probably will take the form
of an increased appropriation, a
largely increased force of agents and
greater concentration of power in the
hands of the prohibition commits
sioner. 1t is considered certain that
President Harding will enforce the
provisions of the Jones shipping act,
which provides for the abrogation OF
% commercial treaties, which will
enable American ships to win on a
competitive basis with those of other
nations An amendment strengthen
ing the act, giving the board power
to advance American shipping inter-
ests is confidently predicted.
Passage of the budget bill submit
ted at last congress, requiring all
department heads to submit bud
get of expenses and keep within their
appropriations is regarded as certain.
A strong effort will be made to re-
strict immigration, particularly from
Southern Europe, which seems to be
moving practically en- masse toward
America. At the present time Ellis
Island is so overcrowded that the
immigrants cannot possibly be given
the proper care.
ALLEN laws" to restrict undesir-
able activities of special foreign
agents in the United States are con-
sidered probable.
"With the exception of establish
ment of peace, the redemption of the
Republican pledge to enforce econ
omy and efficiency in administration
perhaps is the most important task |
we have before u.s. high congress |
sional authority stated.
"The forces that lead to wasteful- |
ness and inefficiency are so thor
oughly intrenched that the job will
require courage Of the highest sort.
The people can depend that such
courage will be Forthcoming. The
Republicans know that failure in this
respect would discredit the entire ad-

citizens will remain in the COM
munity. The Bingham county chapter
is providing health instruction for
all, a public health nurse is to be
employed for the county, and the
chapter stands ready to aid in any
instance where relief is needed.
To belong to and aid such an in
stitution can be counted privilege
and the annual roll call for Bing-
ham county should find all its citi-
zens present" III. P. p.
