Delegates at Large May or May Not
 Be Instructed For Taft.

Boston, April 10.-Republican party leaders and party workers, nearly all delegates to the state convention. which will select four delegates at large to the national convention. came here in unusually large numbers to discuss preconvention questions. For the first time in years the full details of the convention programme had not been worked out on the eve of the proceedings.
 The presiding officer had been select cd fin the person of Postmaster Gen eral George Von L. Meyer. The diff ferent committees had been agreed gpon. The recent elimination of one of the five candidates for the delega- tion to Chicago had left the conven- ton likely to be in the nature of a ratification meeting for the remaining four. But the question of whether these four should go 10 Chicago pledg. ed to vote for Secretary Taft or for any one else was undecided at late hour.
 The ticket of delegates to the nation al convention. consisting of Senators Henry Cabot Lodge and W. Murray Crane. former Secretary of the Navy John D. Long and sidney o. Bigney. showed no indication of being broken. It is understood that Senator Lodge and Mir. Bigney favor Secretary Taft for the presidential nominee. Senator Crane and former Secretary Long have been noncommittaI on this question.

BLACK HAND AGAIN.
Father Rigney of Seymour Not Wor.
 ried by Threatening Letter.

Seymour, April 10.-The Rev NJ F. Rigney. pastor of St Augustine's church, is the recipient of threaten ing communication, which purported to be a Black Hand letter. Father Rigney was asked if the report that such letter had been received by him was correct. and he affirmed it although just what the letter con. tained was not made public.
 The letter was turned over to the authorities. It informed Father Rig. ney that his days were numbered but the text of the letter was nOI made public. It was signed by "a member of the Black Hand" and was ornamented with a drawing ot skull and CrOssbOnes. It warned hin that he must expect no clemency. ana that his time had come.
 Father Rigney said in reference tC receiving the letter that his emotion. were not unmixed with amusement but that the use of mails for sucf purposes was a privilege which any crank might assume. He said that he also felt some pained surprise that he should be made the recipient oI any communication of such a nature particularly as he had always exert ed his influence to teach obedience to law and the maintenance of gOOt order. with obedience to the con stituted authorities.
 While Father Rignsy is not wor ried over the threat made agains him and is maintaining no bOdy guard. he said that inasmuch as h, was for law and order he had turned the letter over to the proper authOTi ties and will see that the matter i. thoroughly investigated. The lettei was mailed at the local post office.

WRITER'S CONTEST

A new leader has appeared in the
writer's contest. Mrs. M. L. Haines
of Aberdeen, Idaho, having played a
master hand in November and out
stripped the others by the largest
plurality yet recorded.
Several others are running nearly
an even race among themselves, and
nobody has reason to be discouraged,
for it is understood that the public
is having its own fun now, and the
contestants are prepared for any
kind of joke. If by any slip of cir
cumstances the winning candidate
should be unable to take the trip to
the Seattle exposition and up the
Alaskan coast next June and July, the
person standing second in the race
would be called upon to carry the
passports, and If that person hap
pened to be engaged in breaking a
team OF mules or some less hazard
GUS enterprise and unwilling to be in
terrupted to ike midsummer trip to
western shores and the northland, the
third one in the race would be in

The pastor of the Second Reformed
Church in Jersey City gave out an in
teresting story of what he considered
the efficiency of prayer. A woman of
seventy-five became desperately sick
about one month before the last elec-
ton and there seemede little hope
that she would live long enough to
find out who was elected president.
AS she was greatly interested in the
outcome of the election, she asked
the members of her family to join her
in prayer, that she may live long
enough to see Mr.. Taft elected. Her
prayer was granted. She actually
lived until the Friday after the elec-
ton. The story is quite touching but
without irreverence, one cannot help
wondering whether her prayer would
have been granted had she asked to
live until Bryan was elected. If 1t
had, what a long life the devout old
woman would have before her.

Denatured alcohol will receive an
other needed government boost. "
Despite it's freedom from taxes the
past year, official reports say that
not one new industrial still was set
up in the United States, while
American production was only 7,OO0,-
900 gallons, against Germanys 120,-
900, 900. To remedy this neglect of
what is abroad cheap fuel and
source of light and power the depart
ment of agriculture has equipped a
plant at Washington to test material
and processes, and organizations OF
farmers are being urged to take a
greater interest in the matter. With
an increased demand will come in
creased production, competition and
a lowering of price. That alcohol is
a success for lighting purposes has
been demonstrated beyond doubt
and as soon as the knowledge of this
is realized the use of it is sure to in
crease.

A POSSIBLE HOPE.
From Goodwin's Weekly.

lOllb 0OOu VAL y sSN~nAJs
Senator Aldrich was the real
father OF the currency bill last win
ter. Against the cool judgment of
strong financiers, he believed he had
solved the great problem for this
country. He spent the summer in
the old world studying the currency
systems of Great Britain and France
and Germany. 1t is said he has re-
turned q much wiser, II not sadder,
man. He has found that he was SIM
ply playing with the pebbles on the
shore Of finance and the great ocean
rolls beyond.
II that is true 1t is possible that a
currency bill will be prepared this
winter, and will be made to crystal
|lize into law which will cover the
|country's needs, and enable the tax
payer and the financier to look for
ward to day when this country will
be out of debt, and when the cur
rency will be founded on something
beside a promise to pay, which the
people of the country hive to keep the
interest of the debt paid upon.

calities where the pupils come from,
and this places the double expense
upon the taxpayers of conducting
many poorly-attended high schools all
over eastern Idho, and also teaching
them the same course with the addi-
tons of the business course, in the
cademy. The school should be main
tanned. and enlarged to meet the de-
mands Of the times, but the cirricu-
lum should be so modified that 1t will
supply a live need instead of dividing
the forces OF other schools and making
them ess effective.
The legislature should make a
thorough investigation Of this fea-
ure of the work.

TO ENLARGE THE ACADEMY.

The trustees of the Idaho academy
will ask the legislature for an APP
preparation of $4,000 for new build
ings at the coming session.
1t is a good sign to see educational
institutions charging, and If suffi-
cient changes could be made In the
curriculum to make it branch OF the
state university or convert 1t into a
trade school where those things could
be taught that are not already pro-
vided for in the high schools, 1t
would accomplish much good with
out entailing any loss or injury to
other schools.

Superintendent G. Cooley of Chi

technical high schools for girls.
These high schools If established, will
not only teach advanced courses in
sewing, cooking and general house
keeping, but will give instructions in
various trades that have become
available to women such as glove
making, decorating, stenography,
printing, etc. II girls must earn
living in the trades, by all means let
them go to their work with as much
skill as it is possible to give through
school training.

huge duck and skim off again
through space none the worse for

will be able to alight, on the rugged

age to mechanism or endangering
human life.
