FIRE AT
FERDINAND
COTTONWOOD CALLED ON
TO HELPS MEN GO TO
ASSIST NEIGHBORS.

Fire at Ferdinand, Wednesday
morning, destroyed property
valued at approximately $500C
before it was brought under con-
troll and for a time threatened
the entire town of Ferdinand.
The fire broke out in the hay
loft of the Red Bird Livery barn
which was filled with hay and
this fuel famed by a high wind
for a time threatened the entire
south side of the street. Fort
unately the wind shifted its oir-
ection after burning the Nez-
perce Telephone office and the
w. L. Lathrop barber shop.
Cottonwood was called on for
assistance by Ferdinand and III
less than Is minutes more than
25 citizens departed in cars for
the neighboring town with about
300 feet of hose. The fire was
brought under control by the
shifting of the wind.
Some record runs were made
between Cottonwood and Ferdin-
and on that day by the Cotton
wood fire fighters, the newly
graveled road furnishing an ex-
cellent road bed for speeding.
The livery barn was insured
for $1,000 but the contents and
hay, owned by Tom Hayden, was
an entire loss to the owner. Mr.,
Lathrop, the barber, also failed
to have any insurance on his
property.
Ferdinand for a short time
after the fire was without tele-
phone and electric lights, the
fire doing considerable damage
to the two companies lines.

Some of the provisions of the

always thought that if any one

BORAH DEFENDS
CONSTITUTION
SAY SHE FAVORS 1ST AM.
ENDMENT AS WELL AS
THE 18TH

United States Senator William
E. Borah, Of Idaho made an ad-
dress before the Citizenship Con-
ference in Washington, D. c.
Monday that has to do with the
constitution of the United States
government. Senator Borah is q
believer of the document from
beginning to end not for the en-
forcement of one amendment
and the breaking Of another.
Wealthy Americans who vio-
late the 18th amendment and
"reds" who denounce constitu-
tional provisions designed to pro-
tect property, Senator Borah de-
clared, "are both travelling the
road of lawlessness, sowing the
seeds of destruction and under
mining the whole fabric of law
and order" '"The bottled and
noisy rendezvous Of lawiessness,
of cynical defiance to the 18th
amendment" he declared, sis
among those of social standing.
of large property interests and IN
the wealthier home. Without
their patronage, their protection
and their example, the bootleg
ger would be easily within the
control of the law.
"The red sits in his darkly
lighted room around his poorly
laden table and denounces those
provisions of the constitution
placed there to protect property.
The white sits in his brilliantly
lighted room about his richly
laden table and defies or de-
nounces the provision of the con-
stitution placed there in the be-
lief it would protect the home" "
Declaring that the prohibition
amendment is "the storm center
now of the constitution" Senator
Borah continued:
'It is in the constitution after
years of agitation and discus
sion after 33 states had already
adopted statewide prohibition
laws, after long debates in the
congress, after consideration by
the state legislators and after
ratification by 46 states of the
union. Surely no one can candid.
| ly claim that this amendment Is
in the constitution by accident OF
as result of undue haste.
"There is a peculiar and vicf
Gus doctrine which has come to
have recognition in this country
to which / must refer. 1t wa!
said during the late war that a!
war was declared the constitu
tion Of the United States was II
sense, or in some respects
suspended and that the congress
could pass any law it saw fit t,
pass. This is a strange doctrine
. But it was seriously advocated
by learned and able men, accept
ed by legislators and executive
J departments. For myself, l re
: pudiate it once and for all. N,
such dangerous and un-Ameri
can doctrine should be accepte'
by the people of this country
There is only one way you cal
