DUTY TO ADVERTISE
FACTS TO PUBLIC.

Sometimes small executives, in
their zeal for notoriety, do more
harm than they could ever over
come. One case has recently come
to light in Connecticut, where an
ambitious mayor complained to the
state utilities commission because
the power companies, railroads, tele-
phone and other utilities advertised.
He set up that such expenses con-
stituted an unnecessary charge and
should be eliminated.
The state commission found the
advertising cost was, inconsequential
as affecting rates, but it went far

alone knows that he is being in
fiuenced by prejudices, passion or
personal considerations in casting
his vote. She may not be able to
swerve him from his purpose but
she can at least exercise her own
right to vote from motives of high
est patriotism.
The reluctance felt at creating
political division in the household,
is but relic of outworn traditions,
when the son became a Republican
or Democrat, or a Baptist or Presby-
terrain, for no other reason than that
his father was one before him."
With advancement this ceased to be
sufficient argument to Justify the
situation. Sons and daughters up
on reaching the age when thought
and reason dominated their actions,
selected their own political parties
and embraced their own religious
faith. And thus we have fathers
voting one ticket and sons voting
another, and withal harmony pre-
vailing in the home. We find men,
bers of the same family with differ
emit religious views and the relation
ship of the family remains undis-
turbed. Neighbors hold to oppos-
ing views of both religion and poll
tics and still dwell together in
brotherly love-" There is no rea-
son on earth why any wife should
hesitate to give expression to her in
dividual convictions upon political
matters on the theory that her vote
if cast for opposing candidates or
principles would merely kill her
vote"

DUTY OF PATRIOTIC
CITIZENS TO VOTE.

The United States is today the
greatest nation in the world and ii
is the duty of every patriotic citizen
to do their part to keep it so by cast
ing their ballot intelligently Novem-
Der 4, it's standards of living are the
highest and the opportunities it af-
ford are the greatest.
Do not take it for garnted that
your vote will not be needed for If
others hold that thought there would
be greater opportunity for those who
would tear down the government the
fathers established to accomplish
their purpose.
You are not only voting for the
children and their chances when
they grow up but by voting for what
is best and decent in government
you can help them as well as better
your own condition.
OF course if the weather is not
good on election day it may be more
comfortable to sit near coy fire
and ignore your duty to country,
state, home and family but would it
not be better to get your feet wet
one day than to be in hot water for
the next four years. Business gone,
low wages, poor prices and bread
lines, no work and soup kitchens
and all the suffering that comes to
struggling humanity in periods of
general unemployment. 1t is not
only a question of what is best for
your country but also what is best
for you.

SPLITTING UP THE
FAMILY VOTE.

In the matter of exercising the
comparatively recently acquired
right Of voting, it not infrequently
occurs that the wife finds her opin-
ions upon policies or candidates di-
rectly opposed to those of her hus-
band and there follows a sense of re-
luctance on the part of the wife to
nullify and render of no effect the
vote of her husband by casting her
ballot for opposing candidates or
measures. This viewpoint, how
ever meritorious from some angles,
is not justified by analysis of the
situation.
When the right to vote was grant
ed to women by constitutional
amendment it was a definite recog-
milton of her individual capability to
exercise that right intelligently. 1t
was authorized upon the theory that
the women voters would act in
dependently, periodically and intel
ligently in performing their part in
the affairs of government, unin-
fuenced and uncontrolled by the
views or actions of any other per-
son. Otherwise the practical result
of the woman's suffrage amendment
would have been simply to double
the number of votes in the elections
by giving each married man double
representation. This of course
would have been a ridiculous and
purposeless piece of legislation.
Where the political views of the
husband are based upon other than
the highest concept of what is best
for the public welfare and the inter
ests of the nation and state, and this
fact is known to the wife, then it
becomes more than ever her duty to
cast her own vote to Offset the effect
of that of her husband. She, of all
people, is in position to Judge the
motives back Of the political affilia-
lions of her husband, and often she

G. C. STULL HEARD FROM

George C. Stull, pastor at Black
foot from 1887 until about 1892, Is
located at Ocean Grove, New Jersey,
and is lieutenant colonel in the
army. Mr.. Stull went to the Philip
pines in 1898, and has had rich
and varied career. In letter writ
ten to the Wright family recently,
he remarked that a fine folding
chair that was presented to him at
Blackfoot was stolen from him
while he was stationed in Florida
and he was trying to find another
one like it. Mrs. Stull and her sis
ter, Miss Jenny Mcconnell, were
with him, and their son, Harold, was
in Arizona.

he may not be deprived OF them
even by the will of the majority
Those rights are set forth and pro-
tected in the constitution in what IL
termed the Bills of Rights. That
principle of forever holding in
violable those rights is the most
precious of our possessions as free
people and the proposal to take from
the supreme court its power to de-
fend these rights is proposal to
destroy them.
In a clear statement of the danger
involved in tampering with the auth
ority of the United States supreme
court, the Liberty" magazine edit
orally points out some of the rights
of the individual citizens that might
be destroyed by action of legislative
bodies over the decisions of the
court if the LaFollette proposal is
adopted.
What, it asks, would happen if
congress or the legislature of some
state should pass a law declaring
some UNCONVENTIONAL church to be
the official church of the United
States and that no citizen may nold
to any other religious belief?
That law, as we all know, would
be declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court of the nation or by
the supreme court of the state in
which the law was passed.
What would happen if congress or
one of the state legislatures should
pass a law providing that no one
should criticize any public official;
or that no newspaper or book should
be published without the consent of
a government official or committee
of congress or the legislatures or
that citizens should not be permitted
to assemble, however peacefully, to
petition for a redress of any griev-
ance?
Such law would be declared I'M
constitutional by the supreme court
of the nation or by the supreme
court of the state in which it was
passed.
What would happen if congress or
a state legislature should pass law
declaring that no person charged
with a crime should have the right
to trial by a jury of his fellow citi-
zens, or that he should have no right
to counsel?
That. law would also be declared
unconstitutional by the courts and
SO would a law providing that a
property may be taken for
a public use without just compensa-
ton established in an impartial pro-
ceeding, or a law fixing an excessive
sum as bail or apply cruel or I'M
usual punishment.
But, there are political leaders |
who profess to be friends of human |
liberty and progress, who propose to
deprive the supreme court of the
power to declare such laws uncon-
provided congress pass
IS them again after they have been
declared unconstitutional by the
court.
1t is argued that congress will al
ways respect these rights of the in
lividual asserted in our constitution.
Experience refutes this argument.
hat is why the founders of this re-
'ublic gave the protection of our
ivil rights to a separate and co-or-
Innate branch of government The
purpose of the founders was to pro-
ect the individual in the enjoyment
t his rights as against any agency
f government, whether executive or
legislative, for they knew from ex-
erience that a parliament or legis-
alive body could and would Cypress
S we'll as monarch or other execu-
i've. And subsequent experience
roved the founders were right.

PRAISES FAIRNESS OF
BINGHAM COUNTY BOARD.

Commencing the spirit of fairness
and generosity shown by the board
of commissioners of Bingham county
in rendering the splendid fair
grounds and buildings at Blackfoot
for the free use of the Southeastern
Idaho fair, Senator M. B. Yeaman,
of the Idaho Falls Times-Register,
one of the most ardent boosters in
the valley for the proposed fair,
says editorially of the project:
Southeastern Idaho, particularly
the upper Snake river valley, will
have a place where an agricultural
fair and livestock show will be held,
and an opportunity presented, not
only to give an opportunity to the
people of the valley to exhibit their
products, but will attract others in
terested, and whom it is hoped, will
interest this section Of Idaho and its
resources.
The plan as outlined is wholesome
and fair. Imposes no burden on
any individual or community and
shares the expense and benefits to be
derived.
The Times-Register was the first
to advocate this plan, which it is to
be hoped will be carried to sue
cessful conclusion.
1t is time for the people of south
eastern Idaho to be and stand for
southeastern Idaho, and all of it's
people and interests. Too long
have we permitted community rival
ry and jealousy to keep us apart.
The district fair held at Blackfoot
can be made just as profitable to
Idaho Falls, Pocatello and all other
communities as to Blackfoot, and
petty feelings must not be allowed
or permitted to interfere.
1t is a fair, generous offer on the

Which road, citizens of Idaho?
The old road that has carried the
nation and state in safety and pros
perity?
Or the new road as yet unproven

by LaFollette and Samuels and Nc
Kaig, chiefs of the forces of discon-

Or shall you be led by Coolidge

forces of order, and progress and
prosperity?
1t is the solemn duty of/every citi-
zen of Idaho, at this hour when we
sind at the parting of the ways, to
pause and give serious thought to
the question, (Which road shall I

The man who has a home, who
has family, who has business

COTTON RALLIES THEN DECLINES Private Report Estimates Crop At 13,0O0,000
 Bales

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.--After opening lower today the cotton market rallied on covering and trade buying, but after advancing from 23.01 to 23.35c for Jan uary, weakened under a renewal of real izing and southern selling. January broke to 2297c in the late trading and closed at that figure, the general mar ket closing steady at net declines of % to 40 points.
 The opening was to 26 points lower In response to relatively easy Liverpool cables and a private report estimating the crop at 100000 bales. There wAs some southern selling here, but initial offerings were readily absorbed by cov- ering or trade buying and the market firmed up on reports that ocean freight engagements pointed to large November exports from the southwest and the forecast for 8 cold wave in the western belt.
 Another private crop report pointing to a yield of IF, ,263 900 bales, with al- lowance for estimated abandonment of 4.6 per cent in acreage, probably con- tributed to the midday rally. After selling up to 23.21c for December and 23.62c for March, however, the market became very quiet and prices broke sharply in the late trading under liq- uidation and southern selling. Decem- Der reacted to 22.S0c and March to 23.23c and the market closed at about the lowest prices of the day.
 Except for the trade buying reported on the opening decline and the southern selling noted toward the close, business was quiet and attributed largely to evening-up accounts in preparation for the government crop report on Satur- day.
 Private crop reports issued during the last few days have>estimated the yield at figures ranging all the way from about 100000 to a little over 13,000,- GOO bales and appear to have promoted uncertainty as to the probable official showing.
 Exports today were 16,567 bales, mak> ing 2,192,295 so far this season.

NEW ORLEANs COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 6.-The cot ton market was comparatively narrow today with trading mainly confined to some hedge selling and evening up for the government reports Saturday. There was no definite trend to prices until near the close when they declined on an estimate of 9,s21 ,000 bales for total ginnings to November l. All months made lows for the day, the most ac- tive showing net losses of 21 to g points.
 Although Liverpool was fully as good as due the market here opened to 12 points down but later rallied on pros- poets for unsettled and colder weather in the western belt.
 The market was quiet during the most of the morning and during early after noon, but weakened in the late trad ing on the large estimate of ginnings, all months making new lows with Jan uary down to 22.S6c, or 35 points be- low the high point of the day. The close was at the lowest, showing net losses for the day of q to 27 points.
 The dominating influence was an esti- mate of 13,000,000 bales issued by a well known authority and this was in some measure responsible for the early de- cline. About the middle of the morn ing a well known Texas house issued an estimate of 12,263, 900 bales allowing Texas only 4,151 ,000 bales. This helped to sustain the market until an esti- mate of the crop by a Memphis author ity of 12,97S,000 and ginnings to No- vember of 9,831 ,000 broke the market in the late afternoon. Exports for the day totaled 1e.667 bales.

IRON TRADE REVIEW

CLEVELAND, Ohio. Nov. 6.-Iron
 Trade Review today says: A broad
 buying movement in pig iron through
 the first qua&ter of 1925 has gained mo- mentum during the week. Furnace com panies with headquarters in Cleveland
 sold fully 45,000 tons in the week and have inquiry pending totalling 50,000 to 100, 900 tons, including 10000 to 50,000 tons for the American Radiator company. At New York 50,000 tons is pending. Greater confidence in the future has been marked by the heavier volume of buying which mas spread into virtually
 all lines of iron and steel the past week.
 A large fraction of this tonnage was placed before election day, signifying the general faith that was entertained as to a satisfactory outcome. A num- Der of orders for steel and other metal products placed some days previously and made contingent upon the result of the election also have been released. Accompanying the enlarged volume of new orders and inquiry has been a perceptable hardening of prices both in finished steel and pig iron. Pressure for tonnage on Chicago mills where the re- cent buying has been, greatest, Is more insistent. In steel bars limiting of ton mage by producers is necessary because some buyers have been attempting to overspecify their contracts. Bar book ingS in. October by some Chicago mills were the largest in two years The full order books have stiffened up all Chi cago steel prices and in plates, shapes and bars a $2 per ton advance has be- come effective. Pittsburg mills now are holding steel bars and shapes at a minimum of 200c, Pittsburg, and leading valley and eastern plants are dong simi- larly. At Chicago proposals for total of 60,o00 tons of structural steel for spring delivery are about to bG closed. | Total awards reported for the week were 27,681 tons. The railroads are keeping up their place as the markets leading buyer. In the week the Missouri Pacific bought 30,O00 tons of rails and the Nickel Plate has authorized 10000 tons. The stiffening tendency of prices has not yet reached all parts of the market and Iron Trade Review com posite of 14 leading iron and steel prod ucts this week is again a shade lower, or $3S.56. However, 1t has fallen only Il cents in the past month. With the con- servative power again in power, British industry has taken on a fresh impetus. ! Buying of iron and steel is reviving. October showed the. largest gain in pig iron production since the upward turn was made in August. Its total was g. 461 ,444 tons, an increase of 4O7,S27 tons over September and on an average daily basis, 9,454 tons, compared with 6S,- 454 tons the preceding month, or a gain of 16 per ent. Since July production has expanded 38 per cent but still Is 29 per cent below the record mark of the year in March. The number of furnaces ac- tive at the end of October was 1S2, a gain of over the corresponding date in September.
