 To Christian Mothers

To the Christian Mothers: |,
 We have read your letter of last week addressed to us through the Lit tie River News in which you mention the violation of the Sabbath laws ev- cry Sunday by people hunting squir- rels and ducks in the bottoms and in which you ask Us to help stop it.
 Our order at it's last Konklave brought this matter up and voted unan- imously to condemn this practice on the part of the people and those of join in violating this law. We are with you and are ready to go to the officers and lend them our assistance and also to report the matter to tho Grand Jury The fish dynamiter and small mesh fisherman must go.
 Incidentally in this connection, let us use this opportunity to thank yo,. for your stand in this matter and to also state that the Klan at almost ev- cry meeting discusses freely the in fractions of the law generally. While discussing your letter, the Klan ex- pressed the belief that our Sheriff and his deputies were active in the en- forcement of the law and that they de- serve the commendation and support of every Klansman and of every other good citizen. But the Klan feels also that the good people of our county do not give the officers and the good cit izens generally strong enough sup port. Public. sentiment, after all, makes the law, and it is the strongest
 ment in law enforcement. Officers can not enforce the law without a healthy, active, Out-Gpoken backing from all the good citizenship Thla support is frequently lacking. Too often, when officers arrest a person, especially for misdemeanors, many weak-T,2ck citizens accuse them of getting coffee money" and in this way discourage the officer and en- courage crime.
 The klan thinks that what the coun- try needs is a fearless support of our Courageous citizens and officers in their efforts to enforce the law and to make and maintain a high standard of citizenship. If the good citizens will quit giving their moral and finan- cial support to that class of men who are always on the wrong side of moral questions and give a hearty, active backing to our courageous men and women, in and out of office We will at once solve the law enforcing oues- tion.
 Respectively,
 Bowles- Coulter Ku Klux Klan

POWER COUNTY BOOTLEGGERS
PIKERS COMPARED TO NEIGHBOR
Attorney Walter Anderson Says There
Are One Thousand of Them In
BannOck County Making
MOOnShine.

There are thousand bootleggers in
Banock County making moonshine far
superior to anything produced in the
vicinity of Horse Island, according to
the statement of attorney Walter An
derson who says he believes the above
to be the case.
Mr.. Anderson made the statement in
court yesterday afternoon, before the
jury that was trying McMahean for il
legal possession of liquor. Attorney
Anderson, counsel for McMahan, was
attempting to ridicule the idea that
Bannock County people would come
to Horse Island to buy whiskey. At
torney Cotant, prosecuting for the
state, answered that it was a matter
of common knowledge that Horse Is
land brew was sold outside the county
and that McMahan had been caught
with some of it in his possession.
In fairness to others and in justice
to Power County Mr.. Anderon should
be made to tell what he knows about
the liquor traffic in this county OF IL
Bannock at an inquisition. When al
attorney publicly addresses twelve
men who are weighing evidence unde,
oath and states that he has belief o
the existence of 1000 bootleggers il
hammock County and 500 in Powe
County and that the product of tn
former excells that of the latter it i
high time for local pride to asserts it
self What about it Mr.. Cotant?
