The HAYWOOD vHaolcT.

The news flashed over the wires last
evening at 6 O'Clock from Boise that
the Jury returned verdict that Hay
wod is not guilty" The result Is not
surprising for under the Idaho Jaw
circumstantiai evidence must be very
clear to convict. No one can but say
the defendant had an impartial trial.
Il Is to be regretted. however, that
man or party OF men should he
charged and tried for such a hideous
crime In this great free country OF
ours where every man should be ac-
corded the privilege of going and com
ing and work where he pleases with
out being In danger of his life. Though
the loss OF life has been great and
hundreds OF thousands of dollars spent
the result will be beneficial to or
ganized labor and employers and that
peace and prosperity Will follow and
continue for many years to come. The
verdict has been rendered and for the
welfare of all concerned The Herald
shares the belief with the masses that
the past should be dropped and In the
future to sit down on the agitator
quick and hard and n good feeling
will grow and exist between work
man and emloyer.

JUNIOR ENTERTAINMENT.
CreditabIe Debate on Public Owner
ship by High School Juniors.

The members of the Junior class of
the High School presented very
creditable entertainment at the Ar
mory on Tuesday euening. AS was
stated by Chairman Harold Stone at
the opening, the entertainment was
as near as possible like an ordinary
literary society program given reg
ularly by the High School pupils. How
ever, an evenings entertainment well
worth hearing was afforded, and we
suggest that hereafter the s:Junior
Entertainment" be made regular
annual event.
The debate was on the subject, Gre
solved, that the cities of the United
States should own and operate their
public utilities The affirmative was
supported by Albert Stone, John ST.
verts and Florence Perkins, and the
negative by Adess Green, Joyce Ber-
kin and Oliver Hagerman. The ar
guments on each side were evidently
the result of considerable study, and
were presented in an earnest and con-
vincing manner. All the debaters
spoke without manuscript, and even
essayed some effective extempore
speaking. The judges award was to
the negative. Following the debate,
a quartet composed of Miss Slawson,
Miss Ortman, Tom Harris and Arthur
Clark rendered cloves Old Song" in
very pleasing manner. Miss Sara
Baker sang "Answer," being accom-
panied on the violin by Mrs. Lee and
on the piano by Mrs. ingalls,. This
was one of the most pleasing parts on
the program, both on account of Miss
Bakers beautiful voice, and the ex-
cellent Accomplishments.
An instrumental trio by Josie Eddy,
Ruth Pushor and Francis Schields was
well received, as was also the rendi-
ton of s'For All Eternity" by Tom
Harris.
Clarence Randall made short and
interesting speech on high school
athletics, and especially urged that a
good gymnasium be provided for the
school. ~
The entertainment was closed by
the rendition of ''Old Black Joe" by
the mixed quartet. In this selection,
Arthur Clark, who has an excellent
bass voice, sang the bass part in an
especially commendable manner.

has made her home with her son
Knute, either on the farm Or here in

stiania, Mrs. Tangness, of Traverse

Anderson, came to this country with

Bird.

devoted woman, and tho she had pas
sed to full measure of the allotted life,
vet she is mourned by those who were
closest to her and her memory will be
cherished.
