THEY TRIED 1T
in BOISE

Boise, Idaho has had some ex-
perience making people be good.
About ten years ago the city was in
the hands of the moralists. The red
lights had been extinguished and the
sign of the saloon was torn down.
The twin evils of society (omiting to
mention the scandal talkers) were
supposed to have disappeared and
human desires were running normal.
The theory was that so long as peo-
pie did not see any forbidden fruit
they would not wish for it, and yet
it was said that the garden of Eden
existed in crumbs and fragments in
various rooming houses, but was
hard to find. A discredited preacher
who had no practical engagements
was agitating the matter and he and
the other moralists got him a posi-
ton as special officer on the police

WHAT DEFEATED THE
PROPOSED PAVING

On Thursday night the council met
and decided not to create another
improvement district to lay more
pavement. Itwas q surprise to most
of the citizens and to those who were
in close touch with the situation. 1t
was surprise to some Of the city Of
ficials themselves and the subject Is
worthy of careful study and observa-
ton to see whether 1t was a wise
move or mistake.
The prospect for bond sales now
is not at all good, but Blackfoot Is
in good shape financially, and there
was assurance that these bonds
would be taken at about what the
last ones sold for which was around
81 cents. That is low, but not
nearly so low as bonds have been

town wide open to bath tubs. Peo-
pie still expose their persons" in
bathing, and now 1t is getting to be
a nationally accepted practice to ap-
pear in open air bathing resorts with
arms and legs exposed and the rest
of the form plainly outlined by a
little bathing garment that gets wet
and clings to the skin.
In 1875, Belva Lockwood, a
woman attorney at Washington, D. C.
was fined 500 and threatened with
Imprisonment. for wearing mans
clothing in public. She refused to
pay the fine and def1ed the law, and
because of her defiance and the wish
OF statesmen to have the laws
observed, the congress of the United
States passed a special measure
granting to Belva Lockwood the
privilege of wearing mans clothes.
She was doing it anyhow; they could
not stop her; they dared not keep
her in jail on account of it, and in
order to uphold the majesty Of the
law they repealed it. insofar as she
was concerned. This was all done to
protect peoples morals and to "sus-
tain the sweetness of womanhood. !"
But women are wearing boomers

body invokes the law, and congress is
too busy to enact special measures to
permit it. During the war the gov
eminent provided trains and ships to
transport them to where civilization
was to be sunk or saved, and there
was no question about the sweetness
nor the courage and endurance of
womanhood in preventing debacle
that should overwhelm mankind.
There are good many things
awry about peoples thought and
morals, but the length of the skirt
and the sleeve and the depth of the
curve of apparel under a woman s
chin are not at all important. They
are matters to be accepted as we find
them, and not to be raving about.

be safe guess that they are acting
on the supposition that you would
feel that It was best to decline the
invitation If 1t were given.
It seems too bad that the guilty
man should make his escape after
the Pocatello crime, but by a wise
provision of the Creator he has been
given a memory and conscience and
he will go about suffering even tho
he escapes the courts and the gal
lows.

INNOCENT SUFFER ALONG
WITH THE GUILTY

The assassin who invited girl to
ride with him north of Pocatello last
week and then rushed her to a lonely
place and nearly killed her, has cast
a reproach upon every car owner,
made them hesitate to ask anyone
to accept ride, however much they
may wish or need it, and put every
girl to the necessity of treating all
car drivers as possible assassins.
If drivers ask pedestrians to ride
and it is declined, it will be only fair
to charge the refusal to the memory
of the crime near Pocatello last
week. If you are travelling afoot and
people do not ask you to ride, it will

Women had better look out. Girls

liable to be pinched in their home
town on account Of the way they dress
but if they read up regarding the
home laws and then go into another
town, they must needs wire the city
clerk first and see what are the main
points in the dress ordinance, the
same as auto drivers used to have
to do to comply with the traffic or
dinances Of strange towns.
Last week we mentioned the case
OF Muskeegan, Mich, where girls and
women can battle and play on the
beach If clad in bathing suit, but
II they cross the border of the beach
to buy weenies or something, they
are subject to arrest because bare
legs and arms are immoral on one
side of the street while on the other
side they are moral, provided it is
the beach side.
Now comes the town of Zion, ILL.,,
with a dress ordinance saying that
a woman must not wear sleeves
short enough to expose more than
the lower half of the forearm. She
must not expose to view any of the
skin about her neck excepting that
which is bounded as follows to wit:

BANKER OUTLINES
 POSSIBLE REFORMS
Charles G. Dawes of Chicago Addresses Commerce Chamber

Boston. Jan. 20.-A reform in tho business administration of the gov ernment by which President elect Harding would hold department ex- penditurcs in co-ordinated relation to the taxable resources of the nation was advocated hero today by Charles G. Dawes. a Chicago banker. His address at n luncheon given in his honor by the Boston chamber of com mcrce was considered as of special interest because of his mention as the possible choice for the secretary ship of tho treasury.
 Carrying out an analogy between cabinet officers and the administra- the vice-presidcnts of corporation. he said the presidents of the United States almost without exception had allowed their administrative vice presidents to run their particular de- pnrtments and to make estimates of the amount of money which should be appropriated to them entirely without presidential supervision in tho inter- est of the government as n whole.
 Referring directly to MT. Harding. Gen. Dawes continued:
 With the power of selection, he has also the power Of removal and do not think he will temporiZe for a minute with the old system so far as his power over his administrative vice -presldents-so to speak-can al- te' it.
 "Tn my Judgment 1t Is not ncces- aary. and 1t would not be best for the. country. if in connection with tho making of a budget law congress can surrender any of its present power 10 the executive. Congress is made responsible by the constitution for ap- propriations
 : The proposed reform is particular iy an administrative as distinguished from congressional reform. What congress properly demands when it aporopriates money. is that there should be n proper business or gnniZntion to oNpond it economically and what former presidents have failed to do is to 70 organize their business machine as to make this possible"
