TO TEACH PHOTOGRAPHY.
4 College For That Purpose just Opened
In Illinois.

Effingham, Ills, recently witnessed
the opening of a college devoted exclu-
sively TO the training Of pupils in the
science and art Of photography. The col
lege is the first real college Of the kind
established III the United States. Efiing-
ham can therefore lay claim to a uniqne
distinction. That other institutions of a
similar character Will rapidly follow
there can be little doubt, when the ar
tistic and scientific point to which pho
Biography is advancing day by day is
borne in mind.
There is constantly q call for good
operators, as a glance at technical jour
mails will tell. Since there is a lack of
competent operators, the college Will be
welcomed by the leaders Of the art, pro-
vided it carries out its declarations. And
this would seem to be its purpose.
The college is delightfully."- situated.
The reception room. demonstration, op-
Grating and study rooms occupy q space
OF 5000 square feet and are fitted
throughout with all photographic req
uisites. There is i we'll selected library
Of standard works and photography and
kindred subjects, which VIII be Access

The West as a rule was settled
by the picked sons of the East.
They came West poor. From
the placers, the ribbed hills and
the desert they have managed
to keep flowing into the business
arteries of the East stream of
treasure which has amounted to
$40, 900, 900 in gold and silver
annually for As years. They
have created and equipped eight
states. The treasure they have
sent East has transformed all
the Eastern states. They have
never asked aught of the East,
except our countrymen there
would recognize as money what
civilization has recognized for
four thousand years. They have
asked this, not so much on their
own account as for the men of
the East themselves. That is,
they have never asked for any
thing that would not be of as
much more advantage to the East
as to the West, as what the East
produces. In return we are ad-
vertised from Maine to Texas as
would-be thieves. Is it strange
that patriotism is growing o lit
tie cold in the West and that
there are men who sometimes
wish the West could be set off
into a Republic by itself, where
1t would be permitted to make it's
own laws and to use the gifts
without restraint

If they do no wish it, then it
should be voted down. In the
first place the election on this
question should be submitted to
women alone and men not allow
ed to vote; but as this cannot be
done, we are hoping that a gen
eral movement will be started to
ascertain the sentiment entire of
Idaho women and let the cleo
ton next year go accordingly.
And to the end of letting the
voters know the wishes of those
to be affected by the law, if en-
acted, it is the duty of women to
make known their sentiments.
The MESSENGER is anxious to
become one of the mediums for
the expression of those senti-
menss. Therefore we ask every
lady In the county if she desires
to cast her ballot and enter
politics equally with men, to cut
out the following ballot, sign her
name and send the same to the
MESSENGER:
