The Idaho Senator wiil Not BE q Can
didate for ResEleetfou


BoisE CRY. Oct. Ex-senator George d.
Shoup. who has been regarded as a candi-
date for reelection. writes to a friend in
this city as follows:
In my opinion the time has come when
should advise you that | will not be
candidate for reelection. Ii is my infen-
ton to retire from public life at the
expiration OF my present term of
office. Uutil then it shall be my aim
to prove TO our people that ] fully appre-
ciate the great obligation | attn under to
them for the confidence they have reposed
in me, and il shall be my effort to con-
unue to serve them faithfully during the
remainder of the present congress"
This leaves Gov Mcconnell aud Con-
gresham Sweet as the only Republican
candidates so far as now known.
Too Much Religion Injuring n College,
TACOMA, Oct. 13-ESpecial. M. r..
Hatch. protector of the vashon college,
stated today while in the city that re-
Egious difference had forced ore of the
brightest students at that institution to
leave. Miss Manning, the student in ques-
ton. is Catholic. and as one of the rules of
the college provides that all students must
attend some religious service on Sunday
and there being no Catholic services on the
island for her 10 attend, she communicated
With her pastor about the matter Her
pastor thought it very narrow minded
in Principal A. C.. Jones of
Vashon college to compel her, Catholic,
70 attend Protestant services while attend
ing the school. He could not consent to
her attending such. Protestant services,
and accordingly she had to leave. II was
deemed strange that Miss Manning should
have gone 10 a nominally Protestant
college to finish her education. and it was
learned upon inquiry that she had fully
considered the matter and had decided
that il she had gone to denominationai
school half Of her time would have been
taken up IN religious observances, and at
her age Miss Manning decided she could
not spare so much time frem her ednca-
tional work. She has been at the Vashon
college three months, and is of age. Mr..
Hatch says:
"Principal Jones Informed Miss Man
ming that her pastor would be welcomed at
the college TO preach. say once a month,
provided he did not make his sermon de-
nominationai No preacher Is allowed to
make his sermon denominationai at the
college, and therefore all are welcome.
Principal Jones decided to make this case
an exception would lead to other excep-
tions, and finally the rule would be of no
value in securing the attendance of stu
dents at some religious service on the Sab
bath"
l.. E. Sampson. who has the welfare of
the college at heart, suggests that IL might
be vi to modify the rule in question so
that il would provide that all students
must attend some sort OF religious service
on Sunday unless excused in writing by
their parents or guardians. He believes
most parents would want 20 have their
children present az some religious service,
and would not excuse them. except in ex-
cep,ional cases. perhaps such as Miss Man
Mugs. There are now nineiy-three
students at the college, which is self-sas-
tanning.
