In signing the bill admitting Idaho to

President has disappointed number
of people in that state who had hoped
that the new state would take up her

The reason, for his action was an inter
esting one. The President, it seems.
found that the law ordained that a
new star should be placed upon the
American flag for each new state on the
Fourth of July succeeding its admission
to the Union. The President left it TO
Mr. Dubois, the delegate from Idaho, to
decide whether to have the ill signed
at once and get the star, or to leave the
