Fast Forging Forward.

Idaho is one of the best watered
states in America. People are moving
there because hot winds and destrac-
tive storms are unknown and because
its matehless climate generates physi-
cal and mental vigor and guarantees
good health. Idaho has rapidly grown
in popularity during the past five years
and settlers III its irrigated valleys have
met with more than ordinary success.
This fact has induced a large influx Of
eastern capital in the state with the re-
suit that its growth has been rapid.
If you have in mind a change for the
general improvement of your condition
in life, or if you are seeking o climate
beneficial to health, Idahotwill meet
these requirements The easiest in
fact the only direct route to points in
idaho is via the Union Pacific. This
road runs two trains daily from Omaha
and two trains daily from Chicago and
Kansas City to all points in Idaho,
Montana and the great northwest For

Public Employment Offices.

Thirteen states have established free
employment bureaus, and, according
to the Massachusetts bureau of statis-
tics, they have been uniformly sue
cessful. Many foreign countries MAIN
tain such offices, and they appear to
have been as successful there as here.
The proposition to establish such a
bureau in Massachusetts is before the
people of that state. After investiga-
ting what has been accomplished else
where the chief of the bureau of sta
tistics, Mr.. Charles F. Pidgin, advises
his own state as follows: -
AS the state has not made and prob-
ably will not make appropriations for
the employment on public works of the
unemployed, it would seem to be good
public policy to assist them to obtain
work by establishing free employment Of
fees, if this would prevent them from
becoming objects Of charity. ys~f~E
1T is, urged against public employ
ment offices that they are social
istie manifestation, and that the bust
ness of getting employment for the
unemployed IS as much a private bust
ness as selling groceries. The employ
ment agent sells jobs On the other
hand, municipalities spend large sums
of money in charity. If it is pernissiA
BILE to relieve the want that follows
failure to obtain work, is it not per-
MISSILE for the state to go to some ex-
pense to obtain the employment that
will prevent want? -
Mr.. Pidgin foresees that private en-
ployment agencies will oppose a pub
lie employment office law. He also
fears that the newspapers will oppose
the law for fear that it will cut into
their help wanted and employ
ment offered advertisements. There
is not much likelihood that the news
papers would have sufficient selfish
interest to oppose such a law. It is
doubtful whether a public employ
ment office would deprive them Of any
advertising patronage.
The only public employment office
in Minnesota is the one at Duluth. and
it seems to have been very successful.
In the first year Of it's operation it OBJ
tanned employment for 5,175 persons.
One reason why public employ
ment office may be desirable is that
private agencies are often conducted
by INSCRIPTIONS men who, by excess
i've charges and fraudulent practices,
impose a heavy burden on men whose
earning capacity is not large.

NEWS OF THE BOOK WORLD
Three Stories by ToIstoy, Written for the
Benefit Of the kishInef Sufferers-Tol-
stoy's Philosophy in a NutshelI-A Book
on The Safety Of Theaters-Two Books
Of Importance Announced.

Some club for intellectual improvement
might find means of entertainment and
profit in propounding the following three
questions to it's members and then dis
cussing the answers:
| First-What is the best time? Second
Who are the most important people?
Third-What thing should be done first?
| If the plan should be adopted the rule
should be made that those who have read
Tolstoys Three Questions in Esarhad-
don are not eligible. Tolstoy's tale is of a
| king who sought answers to these ques-
tons, not getting any that were satisfac-
| tory until he came upon a hermit who
| gave him an object lesson to point his
triple moral. which follows:
| (NGt to be read by members of
women's clubs.)
! Remember then: There is only one
I time that is important-now. 1t is the
| most important time, because it is the
only time when we have any power. The
most necessary man is he with whom you
are, for no man knows whether he will
ever have dealings with any one else. And
the most important affair is, to do him
good. because for that purpose alone was
man sent into this life
| Tolstoy has come near putting his whole
philosophy into that one paragraph. What
is not emphasized in Three Questions
! is brought out clearly in the other two
allegories in the little volume. SO that if
one seeks a view of Tolstey's attitude to-
ward life,, a tirst-hand view in condensed
form, he needs go no farther. The three
tales have been contributed by Tostoy
for the benefit of the Jews left destitute
! by the recent massac ores at Kishinef and
Gomel, in Russia. The present book is
the authorized English translation and
American edition, all the profits of which
go to the Kishinef fund.
! In the Introduction is quoted q letter
from the count which tells very bluntly
what he regards as the cause Of the Kisll-
inef horror thus:
1.-The Kishinef crime is merely a di-
rect consequence of the propaganda OF
lies and violence carried on with such
Intensity and such insistence by the Rus
| sian government
