The piece argues that sentiment for banning liquor rises across the nation and urges Idaho Republicans to push for prohibition.

An editorial contrasts Caldwell News and Capital News on the issue of bossism.

The Capital News draws fire as a liar by the critic while praising the Filer Independent as a promising Republican paper. The Malad Telegram earns mixed marks for its old guard stance yet is called bright and well edited. The critic wishes both papers success but questions the Capital News credibility.
The Capital News laments its ignorance of the Tribune and its scoundrel associations. It argues the News has long joined in such schemes and would be a credible judge of scoundrels if not for past ties. The piece hints at mutual fault in reporting ethics.
