BIantOn s Sin

II Last week the national House of Representatives cam,
within few votes Of expeing Representative Thomas
Blanton democrat of Texas for inserting the Congress

language Instead Of expulsion resolutions of censure

Inc public was much mysed as to what heinous crime

dlastlc action Congressman have been implicated in all
nds OF crooked DEALS baekened by corruption and
Dy scandal without creating ripple the placid surface

the objectionable sin.
The Congressional Record of October 90 contains the
speech by Representative Banton and the Objectionable
affidavit which made by employee of the government

coerce him into joining the typographical union and descri

Representative Banton has been disciplined because of his
sin in exposing and opposing the labor but the
incident has served to enghten the public upon actual

Onions are still on the increase.

five cents a pound, with a retail
increase to 315 pounds for 25

OF four pounds for rs cents is still

An offer Of 48 cents a dozen
was made this morning for fresh
ranch eggs, but was not general.
Some dealers state that plenty OF
eggs were offered at Al during the
latter part OF last week, and some
retained their former buying price
OF As cents, increasing to AZ to-
day. At the price OF 48 cents. eggs
have about reached their top price

WELL. DESERVED PRAISE

Ih" last issue of The Snake River
Sentinel carried the following article
regarding Earl W. Reader. the
popular cashier of the Stock Growers
Bank at Dixon, Wyoming.
The Republican fully endorses
everything that the Sentinel has
said regarding Mr.. Reader. knowing
from actual observation and expert
ence that Mr.. Reader is one of the
really big men Of the state.
h Sentinel article was as fol
lows:
f. W. Reader. Cashier of the
Stock Growers Bank at Dixon. re-
turned the first of the week from
Chicago where he went to consult
with the Stock Growers Finance Cor
pOratiOn much needed financial aid
for the ranchmen of Snake River.
He reports hat he has been success
full in his mission which will be well
com news to st~ockgrowers OF this
section. .
We have often heard the remark,
made. What would Snake River do
without Earl Reader" Most likely
there would be Someone else who
would be filing his shoes. But be
that as it may, today Mr.. Reader is
the nan to whom all Snake River
looks and depends upon to guide
their financial affairs and destinies.
When money shortages. which are
rare occurrences for this country.
descend upon the River it is Earl
h goes to the money marts of the
world and secures the aid that is
necessary for the enterprises and in
dustries of his littl evalley. And he
can always be depended upon to get
that aid II it is to be had.
There is no one on Snake River
who has the welfare and prosperity
of this community more to heart and
is doing more to make this the great
country that it is than E. W. Reader
and the people OF the Snake River
valley are indeed lucky to have such
a man among them who is eve ready
to help them in their difficulties and
takes pride In their successes.
