MAKING BOLSHEvISTS
Anarchists and bolshevists, like the
populists of 80 years ago, are always
it has become a popular belief that
bo1shevism and whiskers go together.
Now a Moscow citizen suggests that
the BARRIERS are, in a measure, resoSn-
sible for the increase of bolshevism
in the United States because of hold
ing the price of shaves and haircuts
above the reach of people of ordinary
means in these days of declining
prices. The following letter ina been
received from a Moscow citizen:
"As you have had several good
write-ups in your paper on different
subjects l would like very much to
see you give one on the price of bar
Der work in Moscow. Don't you think
it is about time war prices on naircuts
and shaves were lowered. Give us
lower prices and let us shed our win
ter ~whiskers."
The thought is well worth consider
ing. When the prices of everything
else declines why should barber prices
be so high? Perhaps if the prices are
lowered we may see fewer whiskers
and less hair in Moscow.

This is the last week of the demo-
cratic administration in the United
States. An administration that has
had more good and more bad than
any administration in many years, is
about to end. The republicans come
into power with complete control of
every branch of government and that
party will be held strictly accountable
for any mistake made. The party is
fortunate in having a good man for
president and he has surrounded him
self with men of national or i%nterna-
tional prominence as men who ac-
complish things. Few administra-
tons have ever started under more
suspicious circumstances. Here's
hoping it continues to the ENC of the

The anti-cigarette law just passed
by the Idaho legislature will nos be
enforced. 1t will prove as much of
a farce as did the law of the same
kind passed in Washington many
years ago. 1t will not stop smoking
of cigarettes but it will put the brand
criminal on more Of Idaho's citi-
zens and create greater contempt for
laws and God knows they are held in
contempt by too many people now.
If all the fool bills introduced in the
Idaho legislature had become laws so
per cent of the male population of
the state would automatically become
criminals.
