By a vote of 48 to 16 the house of representatives of the Seven- teenth session of the Idaho legis- lature passed the bill repealing the license and bond feature of the tobacco law enacted at the 1921 session of the legislature. It was introduced as house bill No. 12. This is the second measure to Wimer, Cottonwood; H. J. Hal-!be passed this session the first ' i | urday evening supplied. He said the state rea- lized more than $82,000 from the sale of licenses last year. In other words the only ques- tion.seems to be revenue and a portion of the legislators are un- decided as to where and how it can be raised. Tobacco today is one of the highest taxed articles on the market and used to any extent. Some called the old law class legislation, especially the state tax imposed upon the deal- ers. A hot fight is looked for in the senate over the measure. Senator Jones of Idaho county we understand will vote to repeal this unjust legislation. TWO BIG GAMES.

On RECEIVED DOLE FROM ENEMY Irish Irregulars Stopped In the Mid- die of Fighting to Draw Their Unemployment Pay. For several years the unemployed in Ireland, as in Britain, have been receiving a government dole weekly, relates Niall Ronan in the Outlook. The provisional government has con- tinued this. Despite the difficulties of distributing it during the recent trouble, it was very anxious that it should not be stopped, lest any ex- euse should be given for looting. One of the district offices was there- fore opened—not more than 25 yards from Moran’s hotel, an {irregular stronghold, now destroyed. After sev- eral hundred men had quietly entered, undismayed by the rifle fire from the national and rebel forces outside, and signed for and received their money, seven republicans came calmly across from the hotel, showed that they were entitled to payment, were paid, and returned to their duties as enemy sol- diers of the government whose money lay in their pockets. GEMS OF THOUGHT Hell is full of good meanings and wishings.—Herbert, No woman is educated who ts not equal to the successful management of a family.—Belnap. We are as near to heaven as we are far from self, and far from the love of a sinful world.—Rutherford. You may depend upon it that he is a good man whose intimate friends are all good, and whose enemies are de- eldedly bad. Few things are impracticable in themselves; and it is for want of ap- plication, rather than of means, that men fail of success.—Rochefoucauld. It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing while we are thoroughly allve. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger after them. —George Elict. TRUTHS The truth most required is the truth least lked. A little commendation goes a long, long way. The greatest wretchedness 1s to be guilty without repentance, When you obey your superior you instruct your inferior in obedience, The greatest wisdom fs to leave un- sald the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
