IDAHO SUMMER SCHOOLS.
Three Principal Schools for the Gem
State This Year.

Summer schools and institutes are
to be held in three sections of Idaho
this summer-the southeastern
southwestern and northern, says the
Boise Statesman. Pocatello and Boise
will be the places where the teachers
from the first two districts will con-
gregate for their summer drill. while
the northern city has not been defi-
nitely settled. 1t will likely be held
Lewiston or at the university at Mos
cow.
These district summer schools are
indorsed in very cordial manner by
Miss May l.. Scott, the state superin
tendent of public instruction, who
urges the teachers of the state,
whether in the city or country schools.
to take advantage of the opportunity
to secure benefit from them and to
acquire knowledge that will help to
raise the standard of school work in
the state.
The summer school and teachers
institute to be held at Pocatello will
be held at the Academy of Idaho in
that city, the sessions beginning July
2 and continuing until August 22.
The term in Boise will begin about the
middle Of July, and will continue for
six weeks. The sessions will be held
at the high school building.
The law provides that each county
shall appropriate funds for summer
institute purposes and the joint in
stitute thus planned offers infinitely
greater possibilities than merely To-
cal institute.

ASSUMES GRAVE PROPORTIONS.
Anti-Greek Movement in Roumanis
Spreading.


Sofia, Bulgaria, Aug 1.-THE anti
Greek movement in Roumania and
especially in Bulgaria is daily assum-
ing greater proportions and threatens
TO become a serious danger to peace
The Bulgarian government, it appears
will be forced to take exceptional
measures to terminate the disturb
ances, which are due to the anti-Greek
feeling with which the entire popula-
zion of the principality is imbued-
The cause OF this feeling is the his
torical competition between Greece
and Bulgaria for domination in the
Balkans, which was recently reawak
ened and stimulated by their rivalry
In Macedonia-rivalry which it is al
legged has been artificially encouraged
by the Turkish authorities-and par
ticularly by the atrocities of the Greek
bands. 1t is asserted that the patrk-
archal church at Constantinople has
acted as an accomplice of these hands,
with the object Of forcing the peace
full population of Bulgaria to join the
patriarchal church auh that the pro-
paganda has been carried out in Bull
garia by the organs of the patriarchaI
church, which openly raised subscrip-
lions for the benefit of the Greek
patriotic societies, and also sought to
tnfiame the Bulgarian national spirit

{ Congressional Fight First.

81 As you are aware the election will
be held in November next. In politics
as well as in other matters it is best
not to cross a stream until you come
to it. The first stream to cross is in
November next and it is necessary
that we should be successful in cross
ing it before we attempt to get over
the river in 1908. II in November the
Republican party shall again be
clothed with the power in the national
congress and the first session of the
Sixtieth congress can succeed in max
ing approxima tely as good a record as
was made by the first session Of the
Ffty-ninth congress, which has just
come to a close, coupled with the addi-
ton of wise administration by the
chief executive and the impartial en-
forcement of the laws, the party will
deserve and, in my Judgment, viii re-
ceive the approval Of the people in
1908. 1t is too early to determine the
personnel of the national ticket for
the presidential election. !
So far as the Republican party is
concerned it will no doubt, in conven-
ton assembled. perform that duty
wisely when the time comes and who
ever is chosen for leadership will
surely receive the hearty. support of
those who believe in the policies of
the Republican party, Of which am a
humble member. These policies are
vital for the best interests and vel
fare Of all the people. No man would
refuse the nomination at the hands of
a great party for the highest office in
the republic, but such nomination Is
not to be had for the seeking

Of terrorism which the fighting organ

clared Immediately after parliament
was dissolved seems now to have be-

empire the telegraph brings the same
story Of attacks on police officials of

revolutionists are especially active.
There is a veritable reign of terror
from the Vistula to the German from

sination were reported for the day
The resumption Of terroristic activ-
ity on large scale renders the task
Of the government more difficult and
darkens the prospects of the present
ministry in accomplishing anything in
the direction of an amelioration Of the
situation. While for the moment the
campaign of the terrorists is bound to
increase the revulsion of the more
conservative public opinion against
the wild excuses of the extremists it
is at the same time certain to force
the government to redouble the meas
