MUST BE STAMPED OUT

The alleged threat OF Irish societies IN
America to kill Englishmen in this coun-
try as, . counter measure against Brit
ish reprisals in Ireland Is probably not
4 serious matter. II anything of the
sort should be attempted, it would Of
course be the duty of ;his government
70 stamp 1t out Immediately and thor
oughly. Many Americans sympathize
with Ireland in her struggle for greater
independence. hut a rOign OF murder
hero will not be tolerated for any pur-
pose.
1t must be borne In mind. too. that the
Sim Feln. which is responsible for tho
murders in Ireland which the British arc
trying to suppress. does not represent
the best element among the Irish people.
Ireland cannot hope to gain anything
by force alone. and campaign of muir
der. with tho inevitable reprlsals. mere
ly postpone progress.

MORE REPRESENTATIVES

One Of tho matters to come before
congress at it's next session Is the In
crease Of membership Of the house OF
representatives. The membership of the
house is now 435 and 1t IS proposed to
INCREASE this by 1T least a.. Tho new
figures will DO based upon III" last Gen.
sus and would allow 22n.".i persons to
4 district. This would .... West V!r-
glnia one more congressman. Maine
and Missouri would each lose l and "a
other states would gain from to s..
There will be bitter opposition TO the
increase. on the ground that 1t will make
tho house more unwieldy and thus in
terfere with legislation. but the outlook
at present Is that the increase will be
adopted. Representative Seigel. of New
York. who will introduce the bill. asserts
that the larger number will actually ex-
pedite house business as 1t will make
possible moro committees to consider
proposed legislation.
So far. the house does not appear to be
so unwieldy as to hamper its proper
activities. II such condition should
develop, n reduction could no doubt be
made.

CEDAR CHESTS O. K.

That the confidence placed by women
in cedar chests as rcccptacles cor cloth
ing Is justified. Is shown by the report
OF the government department OF agri-
culture on this subject. The depart
ment. wishing TO know the exact facts
as 10 the superiority ~ cedar chests
over other containers for clothing. made
tests extending over period OF two
years.
- The results were all that could be de-
sired. Adult moths were placed In the
chests from time to time with cloth for
feeding purposes. The moths all died
without leaving any eggs behind and
with q minimum amount os feeding.
Similar tests made with trunks resulted
IN the rapid multiplication OF the moths.
The conclusion OF the department is that
adult clothes moths and young cloth
moth larvae arr killed wien placed In
O cedar chest. In view OF the hgn
prices Of clothing. this report has con-
siderable practical value.

! At last tine unsightls old City Hall
( which has stood for the last twenty
years on the main bsstness street OF
Payette as an eye-sore and a monu-
ment of bad judgement, is now being
removed. We have eussed and dis
cussed over the proposition of get

vacant lot within 20 feet of his home

but if he fails. he had better reserve
a corner lot in Riverside Cemetery.
Now that the old buf'ding is re-
moved. we are informed by Mr..

place modern and up-to-date Thea
ter of no small size. The building
will extend over the adjoining lot

BRYAN SPEAKS To
LARGE AUDIENCE

The address by ". ]. Bryan. de-
livered to an audience of 1900 peo-
pie last Monday on the High School
grounds. was not a disappointment.
His reputation as an orator unexcel-
led. was mentioned during the
speech lasting two hours. His
speech was not what one might ex-
pect Just ut this time. He paid no
particular favor to any party. but
spoke humorously, truthfully and to
the point on many important sub
jects. His address might well be
termed as an eloquent religious ser
mon we'll worth the price of admis-
sion. Mr.. Bryan while a preacher, has
spent the greater part of his life as
National politician and has been
disappointed in his highest admira-
ton. but he has done and is still do
ing great work for betterment of
man kind.
