A local discussion questions licensing versus banning houses of ill fame under past and present administrations. The piece argues for open licenses or total removal of restrictions, critiquing punitive shutdowns and urging women to press for equal morality standards for men and women, with calls for improved sex education at home.
A city election sees two tickets labeled Whisky and Church. The piece argues both sides use scare tactics to mislead decent voters, noting candidates on both tickets are husbands wives and parents concerned for family morals, while political art exaggerates vice.
D W Ross reports Secretary of the Interior approved the Payette Boise project and $1 300 000 is set aside to begin work. Reservoirs in Deer Flat country will be first for water conservation and the entire project will be carried out as rapidly as possible with full department plans to follow.
Community boosters insist Caldwell is morally exemplary while denouncing a rival slate as corrupt. An editorial rebuts a virulent smear campaign that likens local voters to a fallen Utah world, branding the whisky ticket a “Whisky Whore house” and urging residents to reject the slander as untrue.
An old English chronicle notes 13th century royalty sleeping on straw sacks while Londoners in Elizabethan times used boards as beds and rushes strewn in royal rooms. Henry VI drank wine at rising, and tea coffee and chocolate were unknown. Sugar was scarce, sold only in drug stores at a price.
A long-winded town column questions a ministerial figure over a baseless tale about the town marshal and a game of cards with money on the table. The piece condemns the spread of false rumors in elections, praises the Rev Clemens for honesty yet urges caution, and ends with praise for Idaho's U S representatives Heyburn French and Senator Dubois. The report notes local miners in Emmett finding rich gold ore at Canyon Canal dam.
