That organization has, herefore found it necessary to come out at this time in support of the Eighteenth Amendment. To the, extent that Dr. Butler and those who agree with him limit their contentions to argument in favor of repeal or modification or liberalization of citilimitations, no zen can offer an objection. That sort of argument is natural and expected in a democracy. But in spite of the little sentence that Dr.' Butler tucked away in his speech in which he said that he wras like Abraham Lincoln in that he himself would obey the law, the chief note of his, speech is to encourage disregard for the law', with .the implication, only slightly veiled, that its eventual repeal may be brought fair-mind- ed about by nullification.. He becomes the spokesman of those who are a menance to democratic government, for his thesis is the thesis of anarchy. This Committee of One thousand is not in any way identifin ed with the League. We observe however,. that Dr. Butler speaks of the strangle hold of the League on Congress Anti-Saloo- and legislatures and the sinister influences of the", hired lobbyists and paid propagandists of that organization. This Dr. Butler deplores. These words might really influence someone, if it were not known that the liquor interests were engaged in debauching public life in this country for 25 to 50 years the Eighteenth Amendment became effective and that it wras this very corruption, more perhaps than the evils of intemperance, that caused the American people to rise and drive out the saloon.

We have never been able to se how fail-u- r for any reason to enforce one law should be seized upon hs an excuse for failure to enforce or observe another law. The process of selection among laws as to what laws shall, and what laws shall not, be enforced is a dangerous business and tepds to anarchy. President Butler says that the prohibition law ought not to have been passed, that no liberal fgan submit to it in siim4 lence and that it is unmoral, moral and degrading. If he thinks it is all this it is no wonder that he does not lift his voice in support of enforcement. He expressly states' that the law cannot be .enforce'd. When the time comes, if ever that a majority of the American people think this law cannot be enforced, then it will be repealed and ought to be. But the American people will be slow to confess to the world that Mr. Lloyd George has called the greasest moral experiment in history has failed, and it will take more than verdict on the eve of a presidential campaign of President Butler and his followers, who have always been opposed to the law, to bring the American Government to its knees.

' The first mercantile institution in the settlement was a small p store in charge of Wm Garr and was located on one of the Garr lots just east of the Whitney Residence near the old log house in which John Garr lived the last years of his life. The stoi'e ws sold to John Titcomb and he moved it near the present home of Mrs. Elsa Olson. Geo. Yeates and his son, Fredeick Yeates also opened, up a small store where the present store building of John Johnson is located. Geo. Yeates called Grandpa Yeates also operated a cider mill west of the store building and made cider and vingar that was advertised all over the valley. He had a particular way of aging his cider that made it a delicious drink and at the same time had aU the necessary authority in it. On holidays, especially, the cider mill cellar was quite a gathering place and the cause of many lively times in the settlement. Mr. Fredrick Yeates conducted the store in Connection with the postoffice for many years. Two blocks south, Mrs. Annie P. Anderson Jessop also conducted a small store for a number of years.

FRANKLIN For a number of reasons Franklin has an interesting history. It was the first permament settlement in Idaho although at the time it was thought to be a part of the territory of Utah. Being the farthest settlement north of those in the valley for several years and on the direct Indian trail through the valley, ti had a number of thrilling experiences. As an introduction to the account of the early history of franklin, it is appropriate to mention a number of the first discoverers of Idaho. Much of the following information is taken from the historical account, of Franklin compiled in 1910 by Mr. S. P. Morgan, for the Idaho . Celebration. -' . ' The name Idaho is generally supposed to be a corruption of an Indian word meang The Gem of the Mountains; some claim that it means in Indian tongue, Shining Mountain, but the terms are closely syonymous. The poet Miller claims that the honor, of naming Idaho belongs toJoaquin Colonel Craig and dates from 1861. Another writer claims that the word Idaho is not a Nez Pcrcc word and says, The mountain that Joaquin Miller speaks of may be named with somewhat similar appelation, but most the whole stoiy grows out of the fertile imagination of the likely poet. Idaho Springs, Colorado, were known long before Idaho Territory was orgamded. Colorado should have been named Idaho. was the name first placed in the bill which created Colorado It and after, . Semi-Centenni- al f-- -- , ' e , men. co-o- f 130 J Dramatics was an important feature in the social life of the people. The Calico Troupe was organized with Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Humphreys as leaders and Thomas Jessop, Edward Jessop Mrs. Lillie Titcomb, John King and Eliza King were among the principal performers. Mr. Humphreys, who was short in stature and often called Daddy Humphreys' possessed considerable musical ability and had charge of the choir and all the musical productions which added so much to the social life of the people. Joseph Hovey remained as bishop jbut a short time when he moved to Salt Lake City and, was succeeded by Geo. O. Pitkin. Mr. Pitki'fi acted as bishop for more than thirty years and for a brief period was acting president of the Cache Valley Stake. Through his frank, outspoken manner, humorous expressions, practical jokes, and contact with the people, he became well known in the valley. He always stood for progress and worked energetically for public improvements. He was a type of those sturdy pioneers whose word was as good as their bond. As a young man he was strong and athletic as well as fearless and 'was always a champion for the weak. In crossing the plains as a teamster to help the poor emigrants to get to Utah, he had many occasions to come to the defense of weaker men and boys who w'ere being imposed upon and abused by others or some bully. P. S. The following corrections and additions should be noted : The name of John Riggs and wife should be added to the list of the early settlers of Millville. Mr. Riggs Charles Cummings and Joseph G. Hovey were also teamsters who went to Missouri and other eastern points to help the poor emigrants get to Utah. Mr. Charles Cummings w'as also a member of the Mormon Battalion and carried a banner. This banner is now in the possession of Mr. Geo. Cummings of Millville and prized very highly asa relic.

The mill built in J859. i -1 1 X Richard vJessop, Alfred .Humphreys, Wm Neaves and several others joined the Order for a short time. Millville organized its militia in compliance with the request from Apostle E. T. Benson and Peter Maughan. Mr. John King was captain and helped to train the men and take them for the encampent of the valley militar on the Church Farm and other drill grounds. Mr. Franklin Weaver had charge of the minute system. spoils laws.1 the'ariti-opiat- e History of Cache Valley The settlers, at Millville encountered very little Indian troubles, although one of the camping placessof the Indians was near the settlement on the Blacksmith Fork river, and many visited the town to get something to eat. The houses of the settlers were built close together but not in the usual fort formation. However, it was necessary to build a large public corral where the. cattle and horses were guarded at different, times. People at Providence and Logan had herd grounds west of Millville, so they cooperated in building the corral and all the cattle and horses were placed in it at nights. " Aside from the attempt of the Campbells and other early settlers at Providence to get irrigation water in connection with the ditch made to bring the water to the Edwards saw mill, the first irrigation water was taken from the large spring east of the settlement, later known as the Garr Spring. There was not Sufficient water so the'settlers were glad to cooperate writh the people of, Providence and built the present canals that extend and details differ 'Mom him1 on the Eigh- from Cambridge to the, Commit' j teenth Amendment. !
