THE life of a pioneer philanthropist.

is told in a recent issue of the
New York Sun, an anniversary edition.
This biography is of local interest in
that the story told is that of the life
and work of John w. Farmer, who was
the father of f. w. Farmer, state
manager of the Court of Honor. and a
resident of Great Falls. A copy of
the Sun, which is a facsimile of the
issue of Sept. Ia, 1888, and has other
facsimiles from issues up to the year
1918, was recently received by Mr..
Farmer. On the front page of the
paper is a photograph of his father
under the caption, John w. Farmer.

Enright Indignant
Meanwhile, Commissioner Enright is
awfully indignant because a federal at
torncy wants to know what became
of IS out of 100 cases of Scotch which
the police seized on a motor boat. The
100 cases were to have been held as
proof against the rum runners. But
sometime between the moment when
the police boat noscd alongside the
Bookkeeping motorboat and the moment
when the proof was turned over to
federal authorities. an even 30 cases
of excellent Scotch just up and van
ished. 1t is all very mysterious and
Enright is considerably vexed over the
fact that someone said maybe his cops
knew more about it than they were
letting on to know.
Enright intimates that his policemen
are too busy to take a chance or a
drink. At any rate, his merry men are
mighty busy at this moment arresting
motorists who have neglected to equip
themselves with warning cards" You
must carry this official card. which
bears a picture of yourself, and which
bristles with all sorts of official adages.
comments and resolutions. Every time
a traffic officer warns you about this
and that. he notes the fact on your
card and altogether, the thing adds to
the completely and %vexation OF life in

New York, Aug. 12.-Of curse the
weather is awfully hot with daily
thundershowers, but it is extacly the
sort of weather in which the white
grub thrives. This is fortunate, for a
goodly portion of New Iork's popu-
lace is engaged these days in stealing
up on the white grub. bouncing on its
neck and conveying 1t IN triumph to
the duck billed platypus from Au-
s~tralia.
Let it not he supposed that the popu.
lace does this from either love or
snort or Of the rare bird -fiSh-anlmal
waiting hungrily at the Bronx zoo.
The populacc has gone into the white
grub hunt with all the enthusiasm
which an offer of $50 for 200 srubs
is calculated to arouse. But what
would you-platy must live. And
this Australian ~critter is the only one
of it's kind in all America, so when
George W. Platypus began to ulk
because Of his grubless diet, the vol
unteer corps of grub catchers was
hastily organized.
Zieqfieid's Deer Run Away
You've got to hand it to nature,
haven't you?-both animal and human:
Not only does the platypus have a bill
like n duck and fur like a beaver and
eggs like a hen, but il also can tell at
a glance the salient points OF difference
between a white grub and a gray one,
or one tinged a deep cream. Mercen-
ary grub catchers who seek TO slip a
brown caterpillar or a handful or cap
sules into the platypus diet are mere
iy wasting their time.
While the ordinary citizen has been
chasing grub over moor and farm, the
motoreycle police OF this and adjoining
towns have been hunting the Iiegteld

THE GREATEST HOLSTERS

INDIANA has been reckoning up

came from other states and passed
most of their lives in Indiana. We
rather expected to find the name of
Carl Riddick among the great ones,
especially as his friend, Will Hays,
gains mention on this roll of fame,
but we were disappointed. Here
are the big twenty-five as named

CIVIL WAR IN IRELAND

wal oh q toA Sc S\0lC ll0S
~ been raging in the south of Ire
land for weeks, accompanied by
great destruction of property, though
the loss of life is not heavy, if the
cable news that comes from Ireland
is reliable. The border war in the
north of Ireland seems to have died
down for the present, perhaps ow-
ing to the presence of British troops
in Ulster, or because the republican
army is busy fighting the Free state
government in the south. At any
rate, we have heard very little of
fighting on the Ulster frontier of
late.
From such dispatches as come
to this country, and it is we'll to re-
member that for the most part they
come through the Irish Free state
government censorship, it would
appear that gradually that govern
ment is driving the De Valera
forces into a corner. The latter in
the latest dispatches are said to
have been driven out of Cork, which
is the last principal city of Ireland
held by the De Valera forces. 1t
seems to be the policy of the De
Valera partisans to destroy all the
property they ear before they retire
from any city they obtain a foot
hold in. In the case Of Cork it is
said that the main business portion
of the city is in ruins and both dyna-
mite and fire contributed to the
devastation. The loss is put at
two million pounds or ten million
dollars. The total losses of o
erty due to this civil war will fall
like a black cloud on the future of
the Irish people. They are making
themselves poor at a rapid rate.
The Free state of ireland was
Endorsed at the recent Irish election
IN no uncertain terms. 1t meets
with the majority approval. The
so-called republicans under De Val
era and other radicals have yet to
learn the fundamental truth Of all
democratic government, and that is
submission to the will of the ma
Jority as expressed at the ballot
box. When they appeal to arms
against this decision they appeal to
anarchy.
AS we have said before, such
news as We get from Ireland comes
through Dublin and Free state cen
sorship for the most part, and for
that reason may be taken with some
degree of reserve, but there is no
doubt that great turmoil and loss
of life and property is a part of the
experience of the population in the
south of Ireland where this civil
war is raging. One of the most
disturbing features of the news is
that it appears that the defeated
republicans in many cases have
taken to the mountains and are
threatening a long campaign of
guerrilla warfare, such as kept Mex
leo in a turmoil for many years.
Such warfare as a rule soon degen-
crates into banditry, and it is a
difficult matter to wipe it out.
Ireland needs peace. The world
needs peace. Let US hope they may
both enjoy it soon.

That Idaho taxes have increased
from an average of $5.a2 per capita in
1914 TO $l6.94 at the close Of the fiscal
year. 1920, Ia theatartling announce
ment contained in bulletin issued in
Washington. The report shows that
the expenses Of operating the govern
ment of Idaho for the year 1920 were
$7,36l 1888, or $16.94 per capita. The
expense for 1917 was $2,S23,i15, on.
sos per capita; and for 1914 the total
was $2,000,69i, on $5.42 per capita
The increase Of 200 per cent from 1914
to 1920 is one of the causes of dis
content and encouragement among
the farmers, who have protested at al
most every farm meeting held in re-
cent months. because of the high taxes
in Idaho.
