than are now in the state all told.
We believe it is wrong for any state
to allow its citizens to band them
selves together and 90 begging their
way on railroads and through other
states to Washington to avail them
selves of constitutional right 1t Is
plain to all of us that whatever bene-
fits might be obtained by and through
the efforts of this living, moving pc
tition would be as advantageous to
the people who stayed at home as to
those who made the journey The
object is Gas General Kelly said to
get petition before the general gov
eminent that they cannot pigeon-hole.
We believe our representatives in the
House and Senate have done all that
men could do for their constituents
1t is evident now that they need help,
and will this people assist them?
That is the question
The Badger "Mr, President, |
look on this army business as a grand
move, insofar as it will incite or
arouse to action people who would
under other circumstances be apa-
thetic and inclined to procrastinate-
Ga voices stop the Badger, he is using
too many big words). If the gentle.
man will not interrupt | will endeavor
to give him intrinsic value Qaughter)
-procrastinate until it would be too
late to do anything. | believe with
my Idaho friend, the Silverite, that
united action is necessary. If five
hundred good, honest citizens 90 to
Washington in the interest of Idaho,
and for the benefit of the people of
the state, the people ought to bear
the expense, which, under judicous
management, may not exceed fifty
cents apiece. For my part | am will
ling to give five dollars and stay al
home or 90 in the ranks and sacrifice
my time. But in any event, Idaho
ought to send her five hundred there
like gentlemen determined and un-
compromising. The preamble and
resolutions your club have adopted
do not think can be surpassed. Idaho
can set an example for California
Oregon and other states. Instead O.
sending out tramp armies, stealing
trains and begging their way, sent
honest, determined men, properly fec
and cared for There is a great rev
olutionary storm brewing and it il
imperative that some people, at some
place and in the right time, do til,
right thing. There is great popuIa
uprising, evidenced most particular,
by the hospitality with which tn,
armies on the march have been treat
ed in every state and city. If th
masses were not in sympathy witt
this move the armies would be hoote,
and Kissed. "
A Knickerbocker arose and sug
gested that before our army moves W
all go to the cemetery and dress u
the mounds and put a fence around
The president: "No; there is III
need of a fence for a graveyard. Th
dead wont try to get out and the liv
ones will stay out as long as the
/, can.
Considerable colloquy and merrl
ment was brought out on ''intrinsic.
A member made the statement.

criticism on the word intrinsic, a
, used by one of our members. Th
criticism is made by Mr. Fletcher
who claims to be member of til

The Tennesseean jumped up an

solemnly declare that a member {
this Club must keep his nose clea

and this man got his nose in where

nose is crooked or out of joint. L,
