Who has not heard, tit somo tlmu or another of cases whoro when n -rich man commits n wrong, of papers that did not print tho story oven though It became n mutter of pub lic record through his nrrcst and arraignment for his crlmo. Such cases nro rarer tlmu most people think, but tho. very act that onco In u whllo somo nowBpapor Is dere lict In Its Ideals of Justice brings all nouspnpors Into suspicion of "plnytiig favorites" nnd thus mak ing a travesty of Justice; for It Is acknowledged that most pooplo re gret loss thu punishment of minor courts than they do tho publicity ANNOUNCEMENT nocTon j, c. woodward, OCULIST, WOODWARD IIUILDINO, PAYETTE, IDAHO desires to announce that ho will bo at his offlco overy af ternoon for tho purposo of PIT TING OLASSES.

To bo fair and Just Is tho Ideal which ovory honest newspaper mnn holds boforo himself ulwus. Itecoutly tho Argus was called upon to toll tho Btory of an os- enpado of a group of Ontario boys. for whom naught but tho kindliest of personal feeling was over enter tained. Their experience nnd np- pcarauco heforo tho court was Just ono of thoso things which nearly overy day come beforo an editor. In fairness to tho public thcro wus no reason why tin exception bIioiiU bo mndo In their caso, nnd none was mndo. A relatlvo of ono ot tho boys se verely conBUrcd tho Argus for hav ing printed tho Btory, declaring: "Why did you print that when tho town Is full of boot-leggers nnd joii don't print tbolr names.?" Tho answer. Is obvious. Tho boot loggers have not been arrcstod nnd enterod pleas of guilty, bo that tho Argus can print their names. When over thoy do, they will bo printed, uu thoy always luivo been In tho Argus. Tho Argus at this tlmo would taku advantage of tho misunder standing that exists with somo as to the position of this pnpor on such mnttors. No matter who It may bo. rich or poor, Influential or not, Hint porson who by his nets becomes sub ject to tho penalties ot tho laws of tho laud need not ask protection from this publication. Wo nro not playing favorites. Thilo is anothor vlow of tho pro litem which the caso of those boys presents, and Hint Is tho offect of publicity upon them nnd others llkn thorn who would, "pull off a Pflrty" now and than. They know, most ot them, Just iih overy mnn who was onco u hoy knows that they can "explain" to their parents nnd get away with it. At least thoy can do this most of tho tlmo. And ovory tlmo they do got uwny with an "ex planation," nnd don't get caught, they nro encouraged to "pull oft nti othor party." It becomes a gamo with somo fellows Is npt to becomo a gamo with most boys. When thoy find that thoy hnvp to pay tlio pen nlty when thoy learn that they cannot, nn ono of thu boyn In this enso tried, bluff tho newspaper In to protecting them then, porhnps, thoy will think twlco beforo thoy stago another performance. If tlio boys of Ontario, or an other town and our boys nro no better and no worso ttian the boys ot other towns thought that ttioy could bluff their parents, tho of ficers nnd tlio nowspnpers-s-lt would bo a mighty short tlmo boforo thoy would do Just us they please nil tho tlmo. In that they would bo but following tho natural physical laws ot tinman unturo. Publicity that follows derelictions Is hut ono of tho menus which society bus for restraint upon thoso who luivo not yet achloved self control. It is tho nld of parent, of tho school au thorities, of tho police officials. When fairly administered ns tho Argus hns purposed always so to ad minister It wo bellovo It Is ono ot tho most potent of powers tor tho general good. In this conception of tho duty ot n nowspaper to the community, wo bellovo and know, from tho commonts that luivo been mndo to us by othors than tho par ents ot somo of tho boys concorncd; wo hnvo tho support of tho com munity; nnd were their own sons not Invohed; wu entertain tha.be-' Hot wo would hnvo tho support of these. llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!lli:llllllllllllll!ll!llli E3 CHEAPER LIVING THAT'S what we are making .possible for you.

Milked in a clean,, well von tilated stable; passed thru aerators in n sani tary millc room, which is scrubbed so often thru tho day that no dust can possibly survive; bat tled from a tank into which it passes thru many thicknesses of sterilo strainers; it is no wonder children and sick pooplo drink it when thev will drink no othor. And thoso aerators milk passed thru thorn is nearly as much bettor as a mountain stream which is purified bv oxposuro to the air, is bettor than a sluggish river. This is ono reason why we claim our milk is better. Watch for othors. Phone 205-J You May As Well Have The Best P. S. Only a few more customers needed.
