Plan to Raise $4,000 Meets With Approval.
Large Gathering IS Present and Much
Enthusiasm Is Manifested.

The plan to raise s. COO for public play
grounds by July received big impetus
last night at meeting of the play
grounds committee, directors of play
grounds and volunteers. A large gath

Fairgrounds, spoke especially of the ap-
peal which is being made to the pupils
of public schools and their parents He
urged all those present to emphasize the
Importance of school collections among
their friends
John 3. Sleman. treasurer Of the COM

subscriptions for the public Fairgrounds
need feel that he was a beggar in need
Of any apology. but rather that he was

only kind of an investment which will

Mrs. Eugenia w. Weller discussed the
value Of the playground as she had seen

four years in the lives of little children

"We think this is q good move"
The foregoing line is catching
our eye so frequently in Idaho
republican papers we we're led to
further investigate, and learned
that it referred to the following:
From an exchange we learned
that Senator Stewart has intro
duced bill into the senate increas-
ing the salary Of the president Of
the United States from $50, 900 to
S1OO,000 per annum, that of vice.
president and the speaker OF the
house from IS, to $4,000 per
annum and the salaries of the sem
ators, representatives and delegates
from So, 900 to $40, 900.
The same journal thought it was
a good move to raise state salaries
s25, 600 per term-and the people
of the state thought it was a good
move, and endorsed it by re-elect-
ing those who made the raise. 1t
is possible the idea of national
raise was suggested by the eager
ness with which men who "can
hardly pay their taxes" rushed to
the ballot box to endorse the $780,
600 raise in state salaries. Poor
people all over the nation will no
doubt think the president needs
a raise and express their sentiments
on that with the same generous
spirit as upon the Idaho precedent.
To tell the truth, there is no better
method to cure ourselves of becom-
ing arrogant or acquiring the super
cilious air of wealth than to attach
such royal perquisites to high Office
that the common run Of US will be
in no danger of being burdened
with any surplus over living ex-
penses. Kings, Cars and Emper-
ors get much more than the $780,
600 which it is proposed to pay the
president-and they don't have to
wait for congressional action either
but just tax it out of the people
by monarchist power. -Weiser Sig

Says the Philadelphia Record:
"It is a distressing indication Of
the venality Of our politics that in
a single year three members OF
what we are used to call the most
august legislative body in the world
should have become defendants in
criminal proceedings on the charges
of having made merchandise Of
their positions and influence. One
of them has been exonerated by a
Senatorial committee of inquiry,
another has appealed from the
judgment aud sentence delivered,
while the third has just been called
to answer an indictment. But
senators, like Caesars wife, ought
to be above suspicion; and that
cannot be said of anybody whose
conduct is questionable enough to
become the basis of a criminal in.

Readers of "The Smart Set" have
learned to look upon tho complete
novel that appears in each issue Of
that magazine as the biggest event
OF the month III fiction; but even
the most enthcsiassic reader will
be happily surprised by the story
of the February number. Beyond
doubt 1.-THE Eavesdroppers," by
Arthur Stringer, will prove one Of
the sensations of the year. The
story deals with the careers of two
daring criminals "a man and q
woman-whose astonishing adven-
lures the reader follows W b
breathless interest. From the YER y
opening sentence the tale becomes
one Of rapid and exciting incident,
and, moreover, it is written with
that literary distinction which al
ways characterizes Mr.. Stringer's
work. Different as "The Eaves-
troopers" is from such fiction az
I'm the Bishops Carriage and
"Rafiies," it combines all the in
terest Of those stories with a move:
ment and intensity entirely its own.
1t is notable achievement for the
author, and will prove a notable
novelette, in The Smart Set'e long
list OF successful stories.

The air is full Of peace congresses
these days, and as most everybody
likes to talk when given q good
chance, no particular harm is being
done. Under present conditions,
with millions upon millions Of dol.
lars that are being spent upon the
armies and navies of the world,
peace talk is simply idle. 1t misses
the root Of the whole question.
Every nation that can raise the
necessary money to maintain a fair
sized army and navy has chip
upon it's shoulder, and boasts Of
the fact. Germany is going at it
headlong with her war; parading
emperor, and England periodically
gets into a fever Of excitement for
fear one Of her many enemies will
blow her little island into the sea,
and she orders host of battleships.
If the world insists upon q big
army or big navy to ENSURE
peace' and for protection, tn e
United States must not only join
the procession, but take the lead
as far as an efficient navy is con-
cerned. The necessity for such a
course, however, is to be greatly
deplored. Let US not talk peace,
then. 1t would perhaps be more
expedient and effective for Presi.
dent Roosevelt to suggest to Eng
land, Germany, France, Russia
and Japan that an agreement be
entered into between the nations
not to build during the next twenty
or thirty years any new ships of
war or to increase the number of
men in the army of each nation.
What the civilized world ought to
stop is this headlong waste OF vast
sums for great armies and navies,
which, in the east, will leave the
nations of the world in practically
the same relative positions that
the occupy today. II this money
could be used for some practical
purpose. what a wonderful impetus
could be given to art, science and
literature, and to those external
improvements which are one of the
chief factors in making a nation
great and prosperous. - Pacific
