School News and Notes.

"There is no task Of the teacher
that can surpass in importance the
work Of forming right tastes OF

not SO much difference what child

they learn they will forget; what
they love they will keep. Ifchild-
rem do not learn to use and .ap-
preciate good books while at school
they will hardly ever learn after

amount to much. The school has
to do with the child and youth. but

blessing but an evil one a curse"

FRENCH AGAINST UNIONS

II Burton l.. French succeeds in
succeeding himself as Idaho's re-
preventative in the lower house OF
congress it will not be with the
assistance of the labor organizations
Of the state.
Mr.. French has consistently and
continually turned down every re-
anest made by the labor organiza-
tions of Idaho and stood solidly
with the Maine congressman in his
opposition to the legislation de-
manded by Samuel Gompers, presl-
dent of the national labor body.
The following from the Moscow
Star Mirror, indicates that the little
Idaho congressman not only OPP
poses organized labor, but actually
encourages and employees scabs:
"Report is prevalent in labor
circles of Idaho that the labor or
carnations of the state are prepar-
ing to oppose the denomination OF
Congressman B. l.. French. Mr..
French's newspaper here in Moscow
runs a "rat' Office, an offense that
is not to be over looked by these
organizations"
The typographical unions OF
Idaho, who are the most interested
parties. should take this matter up

they exist as charged in the above,

LICENSE BOOZERS.

Oregon is introducing the most
novel liquor law Of them all. Its
basis is publicity. Many men
drink and don't care who knows it,
others particularly young men or
men in positions Of trust who have
the drink habit, try to conceal it.
In Oregon before a man may buy
liquor at any place where it is Sold
he must take out license which
costs him IS year. Unless he has
this document the bartender will
under no conditions serve him a
drink. Also, every six months the
names of those to whom licenses
have been issued are printed in
the papers, 80 that the bartenders
and all others interested may know
just who are the drinkers in the
community. Severe penalties await
any who fail to observe this
statute.
There are some advantages Il
this law and also points that shouls
be criticised. If list Of all VIII,
use liquor should be published
without previous warning thu
average community would be som'
what startled. 1t might be foun'
that Brother Jones, who has OPP
posed the saloons and polio,
advocating a common sense liquo
law, kept a little "corn juice" il
the cellar for "medical purposes. ;
Why should a man who buys liquo
have his name Haunted aroun,
every six months any more thai
the man who takes his dope in tn
way of patent nOstrnms?
