GOV. DAVIS
PLEASES AUDIENCE

The people who availed themselves
of the opportunity of hearing Gov
Davis when he spoke in Payette Mon
day night last were highly pleased.
The Governor was at his best and
discussed the issues of the day in a
clean clear cut and dignified way and
completely captured his audience,
Payette County will be herself again
this Fall and reward such men as the
Governor by re-electing them by a
handsome majority.
People who are short of Virtues Of
their own are usually inclined to
yell loud and long about the imagin'
ed vices of their opponents. The
people are thoughtful these times
and when 100 per cent Americans
are in the field the cheap counterfeit
brands are going to be put out of
business This is a constructive rath-
er than destructive age.

PROSECUTING ATTORNEY

In mentioning the name of r. f.
Haynes as a candidate for reelection
to the office of Prosecuting Attorney
for Payette County, we are not bring
ing a new name before the readers
of the Enterprise. Mr.. Haynes has
been a resident of Payette for more
than 20 years and has made a sue
cess of the Law business during most
of that time. His record as Prosecut.
ing Attorney during the past two
years is far above the average as
will be seen by his statement publish
ed elsewhere in this issue. No attor.
ney can show a record of winning
all cases tried but it must be ad-
mitted that Mr.. Haynes can show
a high percentage due to good
judgment in not bringing an action
where the evidence at hand would
not seem sufficient to bring about
conviction, and involve the County in
needless expense. Mr.. Haynes is
firm believer in law enforcement and
will not show any favoritism in his
endeavors to enforce the law.

WHO FOR COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS

This office is one of the most i'm
portant of county offices and should
be filled by men of unquestioned
judgment and who are specifically
qualified for the duties of that office.
We are quite familiar with the
record made by the present incum,
bents: ]. Milan Davis, ]. A. White
and L. B. Makinson, and we believe
we are safe in making the state>
ment that not one logical criticism
can be made against any of them,
or their record as such officers.
There are many demands upon
county funds that are created by
law and over which this Board has
no control and the search of the rec
ords will disclose the fact that in
the matter of expenditures incurred
by the board itself these men have
been extremely careful and conserva-
tive.
The present board assumed the
duties of the office under a handi-
cap and at the end of this term they
will leave the affairs of the county
in splendid shape from all stand
points.

HIGH SCHOOL,
GLEAN|NGS

The High School has now reach
ed the two hundred and twentieth
mark. This is an increase of thirty
five over last year and is the larg-
est enrolment in the history of the
school.
Last Thursday Coach Graves and
Mr.. Walker were seriously hurt in a
practice game of foot ball. Mr.
Graves had his shoulder injured but
is again on duty. On account of in
juries received in the back, Mr.,
Walker is still confined to his home.
The football game with Weiser
resulted in Payette's defeat by score
of 26-O. 1t was a clean game thru
out and every man played his best.
The Payette lineup was as follows:
Maule, end; Walker, tackle; Adair
Guard; White, center; Russell,
guard; Lauer, tackle; Patton, end;
Patch, quarterback; Grace, half
back; Carico, full-back; H. Cram,
half-back.
The High School football team
will meet the team representing
Boise High School next Saturday
afternoon The game will be play
ed on the High School Athletic Field
east of the new building. Our boys
had hard luck with their first two
opponents but it is to be noted that
although they have been licked they
have never quit. Consequently
good game is expected. 1t is hoped
that all the friends of the High
School and those who think they
know all about the game will be
present.
On account of the crowded condi'
ton in assembly it has been neces-
sary for the Juniors and Seniors to
appear in their old rooms for Roll
Call.

SHERIFF JEFFERIS
MAKES STATEMENT

To the People of Payette County:
I deem it only fair that the people
of Payette County should have a
statement and report of what the
Sheriff's office of this county has ac
compIished since January, 1919, and
covering a period of about % months
and to that end I herewith submit
approximate figures and data cover
ing such period of time.
My office during such time has
made something over 100 arrests,
Many of them, of course, have been
at the instance of other counties and
states, others of juvenile delinquents
some on suspicion and for various
other reasons demanded by law en-
forcement
Fines and forfeitures during the
said period of time amount to about
$4,S3O.OO.
Out of that amount there has been
paid out for special services in the
enforcement of law about 100000
leaving a net amount of about SS,-
$4,000.
There is one very significant fact
in connection with this work to which
I especially desire to call your at
tention. That is this: This amount of
fines and forfeitures came from
about 80 persons and but one out of
the 80 had a trial in the District
Court. In other words, the evidence
against these people was so clear
and conclusive that pleas of guilty
were voluntarily made, thereby
avoiding expense trials and hold
overs in the county jail.
With the cooperation of the coun
ty attorney and probate judge we
have succeeded in making many ad-
justments of delinquent cases and
have thus avoided committing boys
and girls to the reform school.
The work of this office is open
for inspection of any tax payer or
citizen of the county.

Sheriff.

WHY JOHN T. JEFFERIS SHOULD
BE ELECTED TO SUCCEED
HIMSELF AS SHERIFF

1t is generally conceded that JET.
ferris has made the best record of
any Sheriff in the State of Idaho
He is clean, straightforward and
honest in dealing with the public
and we'll merits his reputation of
being an expert in apprehending
law violators and securing sufficient
evidence to warrant confessions ra.
ther than put the county to the ex.
pense of trials. He has had a good
many years of practical experience
in this kind of work, has the confid.
ence of the people of the county and
we feel sure that on November End
the vote will show that the people
of Payette County are willing to
show their appreciation of the splen,
did work that he has done during
his present term of office.
In this connection we call your
attention to the report of the Sher,
ifs office, which also apperas in
this paper, and we are free to say
that the showing made therein is
unequaled.

During the past summer one of
the most attractive homes on the
Bench has been that of A. A. Stetler.
He has demonstrated his ability to
grow perfect flowers as well as per-
feet apples. All summer long his
ranch has been the Show place for
Payette Having hundreds of Dab
las and other flowers collected from
all over the United States his place
has been a paradise for many of US.
When those of US wish to make a
sure sale or prove the productive
ness of the soil, we take our prospec>
tive buyers to his ranch and a quick
sale is the result. Why can't we all
beautify our homes with more flow
ers?
