You remember the story OF Virginius.
He aud his little band had resisted
Roman tyranny until at last they were
taken captive. Nirginius was captured.
His beautiful daughter was to be taken
away by the Romans and he asked one
last request of his Roman captors. He
asked that he might be permitted. be- |
tween the limos OF Romans 10 bid his |
beautiful daughter goodbye. The re-
quest was granted. Virginius came for |
ward and met his daughter. He pressed |
her 10 his heart and kissed her temple.
Iie drew a dagger from beneath his bod
ce and stabbed her TO the heart. He
hen turned upon his captors and said;

KNOW THY COUNTRY.
Precept That Every Citizen shou1d
Take to Heart.

Take to Heart.
Juvenal said, "This precept descends
from heayen-know myself" To this
we add-know thy country. Know its
area, its population, its products, ma
tive and exclusive, agricultural and
mineral. Know its present output and
its possibilities. Know its states, Its
territories and large cities and what
they are severally noted for. Know
its geography and Typography. its con-
stitution, principles and history, Its
literature, its art and its sciences, its
philosophy, discoveries and inventions
Know its relation to other nations,
both political and financial Know its
possessions = Alaska, Hawaii, Porto,
Rico and the Philippines-thelr history
severally, the customs and languages
of their people and the sources of their
wealth. Many men know these things
nowand love their country and are serv-
iceable TO their fellow citizens In pro-
portion to their knowledge. 1t costs
labor and the sacrifice of so called
pleasure TO acquire this knowledge, but
to the genuinely manly man, whose
LIES purpose is TO make the utmost OF
his abilities and opportunities and who
in one way and another is developing
his country's hidden treasures and i'm
parting his own practical enthusiasm
TO other lives, there are a relish and
delight in the search for knowledge
that compensate thousandfold.

Direct Primary.
I wish 10 say word with regard TO
the plank IN the Republican platform
which declares in favor of the direct
primary. In my Judgment this is a long
step IN the right direction. There was
a time when secret system of voting on
election day was not known to the
Americas people. There was a time. and
some OF you will remember 1t well. when |
the candidates names were printed on
the ticlSets--were printed on slips of pa
per OF one color and sometimes OF an
otntr--Ani the MEMBER OF tne party Us 4
they went TO vote placed these ballots
In tho ballot box. There was time
when the voters names were called and
zach voter called out the names of the
men for whom he wished to vote. These
systems OF election opened the door for
fraud and corruption. Bosses sprang up.
Men were bought and the boss stood by
he ballot box and watched the voter
whom he had bought deliver the goods"
'ten sometimes were afraid to vote for
be man OF their choice for fear OF los
ng their positions. All this was wrong

Now about the Pocatello convention.
They say that this convention was also
dominated by tho Mormon church and I
am sure the statement. II possible. can
be more easily demonstrated to be. false
than as regards the convention OF two
years ago. The vote upon the candi-
dates for superintendent OF public In
struetion and mine inspector. and for
this last place there were three candl-
dates was very close and l shall not
mention tAe vote on these offices In this
comparison. The conventions vote on
the other candidates and upon the ques-
ton OF instructins for United States
senator. tho vote was so decisive that
had the vote or the Mormcns In that con-
vention been subtractod from the vote
OF tho candidates that were nominated
and added to tho vote OF the candidates
that were defeated. the same ticket
would stiil be placed before tho Repub-
Leans OF Idaho as the one that is before
them today. And yet cur opponents say
that the Mormons did the whole thing

would be no legislative body, no execu-
tive body and no judiciary save the legis-
lative, executive and judiciary of every

seven years. At the end Of that time
IL was agreed that the daughter OF the

the house and they scarcely had Nor
mon In that entire region Does this
look like Mormon domination? In 1900,
who carried the state? Why. the Demo
cratic party, but tho Republican party
again made gains. They gained In the
GENTLE counties and they gained In the
Mormon counties. The difference in
their gain in both OF those classes of

DEWITT SAYS EASTERN
FACULTIES ARE LIBERAL

Chicago, Feb. 17.-John r. De Witt, the fam.
GUS guard on the championship Princeton tigers
Of two years ago, has been in Chicago this week,
the guest of his college friend, Clyde g. Stew
ship baseball team in 1908. De Witt has no
fear that the present football agitation Will
drive the game out of Princeton He Is positive
that the game will be played next year, altllo
he does not believe that the notifications in the
rules as suggested by the national football rules
committee viii be adopted.
He believes that football as played today
does need some reforming. THE new rules that
will tend to eliminate all rough tactics should
be adopted without question he said The
one, according to De Witt, will affect the game
as played In the east more than the game as
played in the west, as the east is prone
to follow the mass play style of game, while
the west plays more open one. ~
The big athlete, who now weighs over 24O
pounds, does not look seriously on the attitude
Of Columbia as taken in the football matter.
The New York school never figures seriously in
the football situation III the cast, and the
pension of the game there will not affect the
game as the great college game Of the east"
said De Witt. - ..
De Witt is much interested In the new game
proposed by Head Coach Bill Reid Of Harvard,
and says many features in the game are COM
mendable. AS De Witt explains Reid's new
game. it will be combination of the game
played by New Zealanders and Of our college
game. The features Of the game adopted FROM
the New Zeala9ders' game will have to do with
the clever manipulation Of the ball by double,
triple and quadruple passes, which are bound
to make the play open and spectacular.
There IS not the same agitation against foot
ball in the east by college faculties De Witt
| finds in tie west. While he is fearful that
Harvard may suspend for year, he does mo-
tions outside Of Columbia will take this position
regarding the game. .4.

FITZ.O'BRIEN FIGHT -.
PICTURES ARE COMING

There are many people who object to boxing
fights. Yet, even among these, there are many
to think that the champion of champions,
"Old Bob" Fitzsimmons, finally went down to
defeat at the hands Of a young man. who was
comparatively novice in ring generalship. ~
1t Is not so long since the memorable Fitz-
Fitzsimmons, but in which the money went
that lanky Bob to the scratch with over
wonderful set expression Of savagery that has
often whipped his opponent before blow was
struck, the young Irishman- who was his OPP
ponent was in no way dazed or ratified by the
aspect, but went right at it from the start.
1t was rafting go, lasting thirteen rounds,
before Bob finally gave up, by sinking to the
floor between rounds. It is the only occasion
known where the knockout came collapse
from a sheer beating, and it makes it SO in
teresting that that particular point in the
films is watched very closely. The film is said
to DO the very best one ever secured Of a
fight, is not tiresome to look at because it
does not flicker like SO many fight films, but
moves smoothly. Every minute Of the contest
was fight, and the film will therefore remain
perhaps for many years as the best one that
has been reproduced -. - =. .>s SfEA
The thirteen rounds Of the best boxing ever
shown on a canvas will be given at every per.
Torrance at the Dewey theater during the en-.
gagement Of the Miss New York, Jr., com.
pany, which is owned by Mort Singer, former
manager of the Dewey in this city.
