The CHICAGO PRESBYTERY EXPIJNCES FROM ITS
RECORDS CRITICISM OF THE ANTE-SALOON LEAGUE

During the fight in the Constitu-
tional Convention on the question Of
limiting representation from Chicago
in the Legislature, resolution was
passed by the Chicago Presbytery on
February 6 which was construed as an
attack upon the Anti-Saloon League.
Newspaper reports made II appear
that the resolution was passed unani-
mously and without opposition as a
spontaneous uprising OF the Presby-
terry when, as matter OF fact, it was
brought up late in the session after
many had gone and was passed by
vote of IA to IL.

League, voluntarily prepared resolu-
ton OF protest and petitioned the
Presbytery TO expungc from its rec
ords the action OF February g. Con-
sidcration of the petition was fixed as
a special order of the day for April 3.
The meeting on the 3rd was very
largely attended
The evidence was that the Presby-
terry, or rather the small remnant OF it
still in session on February g, had
taken action without previous consid-
Grafton and with no hearing at the
time on the merits OF the question.
BY practically unanimous rising vote
the action OF February was ordered
expunged from the records OF the
Presbytery.

QUIT WHINING AND GIVE

Is there anything more excru-
ciating than the talk with which
the haters OF Prohibition food
dinner tables? Night after
night, month after month, they
emit canned diatribes. No
sooner is your napkin unrolled
than the topic begins. Since
January, 1919. there has not
been new word said. people
drink now because it is forbid
den; they drink too much; boot
Logging hourishes; working
men, instead OF being drunk
every Monday, are loaded every
day; drug addicts increase;
homes are breweries; young
people learn contempt for law
Expand these ideas and serve.
Other topics arc dead. Society
has become nightmare.
This editorial is no argument
for Prohibition. 1t is wall
against boredom. These asses,
who now fill their empty heads
with the evils of Prohibition,
never made an effort 10 cure the
evils OF the saloon. High IL
ccnse was the nearest their
minds could reach. The Pro-
hibition wave rose to its incvi-
table power because our legis-
lators and our public were SUI
pine. While they slept. money
intended for shoes and educa-
ton of children was taken from
the wives OF the poor and wasted
in sodden drink. The saloon
became the center of political
corruption, OF gambling. OF
prostitution. 1t was for the
dresS-Suit or ruling class to
check these scourges. They
never stirred. After long suf-
fering popular wrath took ac-

BEAR HUNTERS LEAVE
FOR POINTS UNKNOWN

This is exactly the way the item
was handed to us, so we disclaim re
sponsibility if it isn't correct:
A bunch of bear hunters consisting
of Messrs. Seward, Whitney, Jim Tye
Claude Mast and four other rough
necks left Thursday morning fol
Somewhere in Idaho"
The party is reported to have in
their possession IL immense bear
traps and are taking along several
horses for bear bait and some sheep
to be used for food.
Nine dogs are also reported to be
attached to the party, so if any of
your CANNES are missing, don't be
alarmed-they will probably show up
as soon as the party gets back.
We are informed that the bear
hunters intended to go to Rocky Bar,
but bear tracks eight inches long
were reported to have been seen
there, so it was decided to hold the
bear hunt somewhere between Noun
tain Home and Grandview, presum-
ably at the reservoir.

FRUIT RAISERS
ARE NOW BUSY

Orchardists in and around Noun
tain Home have been and are now
busy taking care of bumper fruit
crop.
Blodgett & Hathaway report that
their fruit crop has been exceedingly
satisfactory this year, the fruit be-
ing of good quality and ripening in
great shape.
John w. Morton had one of the
finest crops of peaches ever grown
in this section, and the prices he OBJ
tained for them topped the market
VIII Gibson is this week busily
engaged in harvesting a fine crop Of
prunes, OF fine color and quality. He
is shipping $1,000 pounds of the
fruit, which is something new for
Mountain Home.
other growers report that this has
been an exceptional year for fruit
in this locality.
All of which is a fine argument for
the systematic spraying of fruit trees
in and around Mountain Home.

FROM THE HOME TOWN PAPER

Madisonville (Tenn.) Democrat:
Worth s. Lee, a son of the late Capt.
Lee, of Tellico Plains, was a recent
guest of his aged mother and sisters
at this place. For twenty years or
more he has been a resident of
Mountain Home, Idaho. We think it
superfuous to state that Mr.. Lee has
prospered financially since emigrat-
ing to that rugged, rocky, mountain
state-for intelligence, energy and
frugality are characteristics of the
Lee family, of which he is member.
Miss Maggie, one of his sisters, Wis
tied him in his distant home a few
months since. The removal of Worth
S. Lee from his native county and
state was a fell loss to them, but
gain to his adopted state of Idaho.

Strike Breakers Beaten

Apparently no change has taken
place in the strike situation at the
Ferry. The shopmen and other
striking organizations seem to hold
a very optimistic view of the ulti-
mate result of the strike. A clash
between strikers and two strike
breakers occurred Thursday evening
about 1880 just off the main street,
and resulted in one of the latter be-
ing knocked unconscious, requiring
the services of the railroad physician.
Such occurrences are greatly to be
lamented, and fail utterly to accom-
plish anything in favor of the strik-
ers and as matter of fact are great
ly deplored by all law-abiding citi-
zens, members af the shopcraft and
others who are out on strike.

twenty.
The table decorations were pink
and white asters, pink and white be-
ing the general color scheme.
After dinner games and music
were enjoyed by the guests. In the
guessing contest Miss Helen M. Scott
carried off the high honors.
In the bean bag contest, Miss Click
demonstrated her superiority over
the field and was awarded first prize.
In this game Miss Miller secured the

that she did not get it without a
struggle.

FIELD MAN FAILS
TO FIND WEEVIL
IN OUR ALFALFA
Elmore County Probably Is
Free From Pest.
TO LIFT QUARANTINE?
John d. Whelan Examines Many
Fields and Stacks Around the
City-Farmers Delighted

II all goes well, and we have no
reason to doubt that it will, the
ranchers of Elmore county will be
permitted to ship alfalfa hay into
Oregon and California.
At meeting of the hay growers
on Friday Of last week it was de-
cided to apply to the state commis-
sioner of agriculture for the lifting
of the quarantine restrictions on hay
shipped into Oregon. This request
was made and on Tuesday of this
week John d. Whelan, field man for
the department, came to Mountain
Home for the purpose OF inspecting
the various alfalfa fields and stacks
in this vicinity.
Mr.. Whelan was taken to almost
every alfalfa tract in the neighbor-
hood Of Mountain Home, and after
making a thorough test, informed
the editor of The Republican that
he failed to find any evidence what
ever of the presence OF the alfalfa
weevil
Mr.. Whelan will so report to the
commissioner of agriculture, who
will in turn request the removal of
the quarantine. regulations in Ore
gon applying to alfalfa hay shipped
into the state.
1t therefore seems quite probable
that the alfalfa growers of Mountain
Home and vicinity will be enabled
to take advantage Of the good mar
ket for alfalfa which now obtains in
Oregon and California, and inasmuch
as they have fine crop this year,
II will prove of great benefit to them.
The price of alfalfa hay on the
Portland market at the present time
is $21 per ton. Counting off a haul
ing charge of SO and freight of So
per ton, this would net the growers
SO ton, not bad price by any
means.
Mr.. Whelan will probably make
another inspection of the alfalfa
fields next June, when if any weevil
are present their existence can be
readily determined.
This is the only county in the
state OF Idaho which is now free
from the weevil pest, and our grow
ers are all very proud of this dis

view Of this fact, upon motion duly.

three was appointed to confer with

ture, relative to securing the proper
certificate in an effort to ship hay

In Oregon, Washington and Califor-
mia, where great shortage of hay
exists, and good quality of hay is
said to be bringing $2e to $2s per

Sonth Side Cafe Moves

The South Side Cafe is to move
across the track to the Gorby store
building, just west of the theatre on
Idaho avenue and almost opposite
the new location of the depot. The
room is now being prepared and the
necessary fixtures installed. This is
a new brick building erected nearly
a Year ago which has been vacant
most of the time, and it will un-
doubtedly be an excellent location
for the cafe.
