KEEPING NAMES
OUT OF THE NEWSPAPER

Every editor at one time or an
other is asked by some prominent
citizen to Keep my name out of the
paper
"You may print this, but don't
give me away or print my name. "
"If anything happen in our family,
don't mention it," Don't print my
name in your paper if l go visiting
or have visitors, for it's nobody's
business"
All these little petty things con-
front an editor, and if he takes them
seriously, he will wonder just at
what time this funny" person does
really want to see his name in print.
An Ohio man who got offended at
something, told one of his local
papers not to use his name again in
the paper. Some time later it again
offended. He sailed into the news
paper office with blood in his eye.
Didn't l. tell you," he yelled, mot
to use my name in your paper under
any circumstances? If you do,
there'll be trouble"
After he had departed, the man
ager issued an order that the mans
name must not be used
So when a bank directors meeting
was held and officers elected, the
name of the objector was stricken
out. SO in every other case of sim
liar nature.
Finally, the funeral of a distin-
guished citizen was held and the next
morning when the names of pail
bearers appeared, the name of the
complainant was conspicuous by it's
absence. About this time the latter
got wise"
He saw there We're two sides to
the case and he concluded it was
time he went around to the news
paper office and apalogized. And he
did.-Fourth Estate.

r. Byrd Trego,

Rialto, Calf, January 5, 1921.
Mr.. Byrd Trego,
Editor Idaho Republican.
Dear Sir: We landed in Calf
ornia December "a and as | have
been pretty busy have not found
time to write you until now.
1t has just recently rained, and of
course, the climate being ideal,
everything looked fine, and we have
had fine weather every day except
one, when the wind blew some.
Orange and lemon trees are loaded
with fruit and today we finished
picking navel oranges and lemons
from the ten acres, which belongs
to my son, the trees being only five
and half years old, did not yield
very heavy, but what fruit there was,
was very nice and will have some
Valencia oranges to pick later. The
sweet spuds had been partly dug
before he moved on the place and
received only a part of them, about
1400 pounds, he expects to plant a
good many soon as the season opens
for another crop, as he has consider
able room between trees. The soil
here is we'll adapted for them, and
in fact most any kind of vegetables
do well and can be raised in album
dance.
find the alfalfa will soon be ready
for the first cutting, and barley is
about six inches high, almost COM
pletely covering the ground.
Labor situation here is not very
encouraging for the present, but
prospects are that it will be better
soon, as there is something like 55,-
900 car loads of fruit to move from
lower California and half of them
will move thru San Bernardino. The
refrigerator companies are storing
lots Of cars here, so as to be ready
to hand, soon as ready to pick.
The price of lemons is low on &C
count of not being protected, but
congress is expected to remedy this
by placing duty on those which are
coming to the U. s. which will allow
fruit growers good margin of profit.
AS for the Japanese situation,
California is standing pat, and the

Sun reads California to Defy Japan,
Land Law to Stand as Voted by
People," This will be q big help
for this state in good many ways

By MARK A. SHIELDS

BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 6.-The elec-
ton Of Peter G. Johnston of Black
foot to the speakership in the lower
house is looked upon here as fine
tribute to man who has won and
held the friendship and respect of
men who have worked in the legis-
lature with him in years past. Mr..
Johnston is now dean of-the legisla-
ture by reason of his long years of
service in the lower house and altho
there is one or two other men serv-
ing in the legislature when the
BiackfOot man first came to Boise
as a representative back in 1909 he
has served more years than any other
member of either house.
Mr.. Johnston had the support of
the Republican state organization be-
hind his candidacy and thru the
efforts of his friends other men who
were candidates for the speakership
were induced to withdraw and allow
the honor to go to the man from
Bingham without a fight. Charles
d. Storey of Ada, one of the other
candidates, nominated Mr.. Johnston
for speaker, paying him a beautiful
tribute in the nominating speech.
This week has been spent by the
legislature in getting organized Not
many bills are reaching it yet, but
before Monday both houses will be
busily engaged on the legislative
grind and the hoppers will be full of
bills.
The senate passed it's first bill

of all legislatures copies of the COM
piled statutes and copies of the ses-
sion laws. 1t was passed by the
house under suspension of rules

Senator Witty of Bannock county
has introduced a bill in the senate
which extends the time in which
state taxes for 1920 may be paid

SER''On,,,S CONDITION
OF CUBAN AFFAIRS
BY THE UNITED
STATES NOW LOOMS AS A
POSSIBILITY.
Uncle Sam May Step in and
Straighten Out Matters Should the
Mission of General Crowder
Prove a Failure.

| Washington.--It is said that disclos
ures here of the serious condition OF
affairs in Cuba suggests strong pos
sibility of American Intervention In
the event of the failure of General
CrOwder's mission.
The United States has interviewed in
Cuba once under the Platt amendment
since the original occupation following
the Spanish war and it has been free
ly predicted that if we should be com.
PEELED to 60 in again we would 60 in
to stay.
The Cuban minister, DR.. Carlos Man
mel de Cespedes, was so startled by
the dispatch of General Crowder and
Il staff of military aides to Havana
aboard a battleship that he called at
The state department Tuesday, seeking
an explanation. He was apprehensive,
he said, that the Cuban people would
jump to the conclusion that interven-
ton was contemplated.
Acting Secretary of State Davis in
formed the minister that the purpose
of the president in dispatching Gen
eral Crowder to Cuba was amply set
forth in the White House statement,
and sought to impress him with the
necessity of the Cuban government
taking effective steps to remedy the
existing chaotic situation.
The trouble in Cuba may be set
forth under three heads:
Economic, slgnified by the shut
down of sugar cane mills and general
stagnation of industry.
Financial, caused by excessive sugar
crop speculation, resulting in the in
sOlvency of numerous banks and the
establishment of moratorium by the
government.
Political emanating from failure to
determine who has been elected
president, charges of election frauds
clouding the result.
Cuba appears to be suffering from a
sugar spree and the morning after.
With sugar selling at % cents in the
United States last year, Cuba was
rolling in wealth and sugar million
aires were made in a day. Then the
price of sugar slumped. the cane mills
closed and Cuba went broke.

! ture while the two houses were meet
ing in joint session.
The endorsement was put thru in
the form of a resolution. The mo-
ton to adopt it was seconded by
Senator Van Hoesen of Adams
county. Democratic floor leader in
the upper house. In the course OF
his talk Senator Van Hoesen termed
the governor "the greatest living
authority on reclamation" Senator
Van Hoesen's praise of the governor
was unrestricted and has attracted
some attention in political circles.
In closing his talk the senator from
Adams county recalled that Re-
publican legislature two years ago
had endorsed ex-governor James H.
Hawley, Democrat, for secretary of
the interior.
Both houses in the legislature are
experiencing some trouble with the
noises which vibrate thru the cham
bers. The lower house appointed a
committee Wednesday to confer with
a committee from the senate in an
effort to effect an improvement in
the acoustic properties of the two
chambers.
A bill dividing the Fourth Judicial
district which embraces Twin Falls,
Cassia, Jerome, Minidoka, Lincoln,
Gooding, Camas, Blaine and Elmore
counties will be introduced before
the legislature at an early date. 1t
is proposed to create the new district
and name two new district judges.
The Fourth District now has only
two judges. If the proposed bill be-
comes law the counties now served
by two judges will have four.
The demand for economy in the
legislature continues to grow. There
is a genuine desire on the part of
the majority of the members in both
houses for policy of retrenchment
in keeping with suggestions offered
by the governor in his message,
However, the retrenching must be
done in the state house, the legisla-
tors say. They appear to want the
educational institutions and the
charitable institutions to have what
money they need.
In his message the governor sug-
gested a building program extending
over period of six years for the
charitable institutions. In this he
meant that a new insane asylum
should be built at Blackfoot and adj
ditional buildings put up at Orifino,
where the north Idaho asylum is To-
Gated. 1t is expected that bill pro-
viding for new site for the asylum
at alackfoot will be introduced and
S Efficient bonds voted to put up the
first unit during the years 1922.
Senator Thomas of Bingham
county will be chairman of the COM
mittee on privileges and elections in
the senate and a member of the COM
mittees on highways. judiciary, state
affairs and rules. These are con-
sidered important committee APP
pointments.
The committee appointments will |
be announced Friday in the senate.
In the house the committee appoint |
ments may not be made public be- |
fore Monday, Speaker Johnston said |
Thursday.
1t is believed that John w. Shook |
Of Lemhi county will be chairman of |
