Women Fight School Board.

The political equality league and
the Mothers club of Berkeley, Cal,
have Joined forces against the local
school board because of a recently
adopted rule forbidding the employ
ment of women as principals in
schools having an eighth grade. The
man who introduced the obnoxious
rule says that a man is necessary to
discipline the larger boys. The mem
bers of the two women's clubs differ
with him and point to hundreds of
schools throughout the west in which
women are serving successfully as
principals. The Berkeley women have
made personal Investigations to sus-
tain their contention and declare that
their town shall not be made an ex-
ception in discriminating against wo-
men.-Examiner (San Francisco.

account of the epoch making reign

manners and customs of that age.
The club welcomed Miss Ireland

ish Columbia, one of it's former men,
bers, as guests. At the conclusion of
the program tea was served.
The Chicago Woman's club held
the first of its Sunday afternoon open
door meetings last Sunday. This is
an innovation for woman's clubs to
hold a meeting to which the general
public is invited. Short addresses
and a musical program are to be the
features of the open door meetings.
The experiment is of interest to 9TH
er clubs which contemplate the same
procedure if it proves to be the sue

Although the meeting will not be
until Tuesday, the members of the
Mothers circle of this district are
greatly interested in preparations for
their annual convention, which will
be held at Nampa on the 18th. A
number of women have signified
their intention of attending from this
city and the meeting promises not
only to be large one, but one of
vital interest.
Mrs. Butterfield, president of the
state federation writes: 1--WE hope to
have a statewide movement for Nav
day, making it municipal house
cleaning day, particularly in towns
with federated club, with the club
furnishing the enthusiasm and part
OF the energy. The idea came to me
from Idaho Falls, where they did
perfectly incredible things. At the
experience meeting a most beautiful
ly gowned woman rose and told about
driving through the alleys on tours
OF inspection, and through the energy
OF these club women they awakened
the citizens to sense of duty in this
line of work" Mrs. Butterfield fur

Idaho Falls.

The regular meeting of the vii
lage Improvement Society on Satur-
day was taken up with the business
made necessary by the society's in
corporation.
The officers were careful that all
should be done in a legal manner
and no mistakes be made in this
very import ANT matter.

1t was necessary to conduct affairs
as though an entirely new organiza.
ton was beginning its existence, SC
all officers were reelected. A board
Of directors was elected as follows:
Mesdames Campbell, Hit, Mill. Mil
ner and Platt.
A complete set of bylaws were
voted upon and our society is now a
full-fledged corporate body with
property it can lawfully hold. Judge
McCutcheon very kindly donated his
legal service.
The library committee gave a very
encouraging report though for some
time it was feared the room being
fitted up for library would be ruin
ed by the water from the canal
break. The walks surrounding the
church where the library basement
room is located were impossible for
time and the opening had to be
postponed. The opening will take
place Feb 18th, when a reception
and book shower will be given.
The ladies are justly proud of their
achievement in Transforming the
plain basement room into library
room of unusual artistic beauty.
Perhaps a description of the room
will suggest help for other club work
ers as it was done with very little
expense. The lower portion of the
side wall is covered with red burlap
(hand painted) while the upper part
is kalsomined colonial yellow; the
ceiling is cream.
The floor is painted medium oak |
and rugs spread.
The furniture is in mission finish.
The lumber was donated by local
yards. The book cases or shelves
were made, gratis, by Supt. Crandall,
Prof. Lawrence and Mr.. Colver. Two
,ables were made by Mr.. Colver and
Prof. Lawrence. The window hang
ngs are of cream scrim with red fig
Tres.
The wood work is painted black to
AIRY out the mission idea. ;
The thing that caps the climax,
nd shows the wonderful ingenuity
II the designers as well as the skill

chandelier, which hangs
rom the ceiling.
The wooden part which is finished {
lack consists of piece extending t
rom the center about 10 inches S
here two arms cross, the ends of !
nese arms are hung with heavy S
lack chains, and from each arm t
angs one of the square effect cross G

Colorado Women Protest.

The club women of Colorado are
} up In arms. For years there has beer
law in Colorado prohibiting womer
from working in factories and shops
more than eight hours a day, or more
than 4S hours week. Recently
this law has been declared unconsti-
tutional.
The women of Colorado are report
ed to be more stirred up over it
than anything that has happened
since they received the ballot. A
local paper published cartoon
showing the supreme court handing
thls decision to sadfaced laundry
girl, while behind her and holding
her hand looms up a tall, resolute
looking woman, labeled "Woman's
Clubs, saying to the court: This
un-American act of yours has done
more for the women wage Garner
than all the organization and legis-
latlon could have done in years" An
other paper reports a club woman
as saying of the Judge who handed
down the decision: ''Oh, Judge

ONLY ONE BEST
Honolulu People Give Credit Where
Credit is Due.

People of Honolulu who suffer with
sick kidneys and bad backs want a
kidney remedy that can be depended
upon. The best is Doan's Backache
Kidney Pills. a medicine for the kid
neys only, made from pure roots and
herbs, and the only one that is backed
by cures in Honolulu. Here's Honolulu
testimony:
H. S. Swinton, Honolulu, says: 81
was a long sufferer from backache,
having been afflicted with 1t for twelve
years. Taking this as a symptom of
kidney trouble, and seeing Doan's
Backache Kidney Pills advertised as
being good for complaints such as
mine, l procured some of them at the
Hollister Drug Co.'S store. 1 found
upon taking them that they were doing
me good, and was thereby encouraged
to keep on until now am cured of the
backache. The merits of Doan's Bach
ache Kidney Pills have been strikingly
shown in my case, and I recommend
them to other sufferers"
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all druggists and storekeepers
at so cents per box (six boxes for $3.50,

Totals .........211 80 A A GA .

The uninstructed delegations are
from Alabama, Delaware, Florida
Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts
Mississippi, Rhode Island, South Caro-.
lima, Hawaii and Porto Rico, having q
total of IS delegates, while there are
~ elected delegates over the seating OF
whom there will be contests.
In the above table all the delegates
from Virginia are given as instructed
for Mr.. Taft. All of the district con-
ventions did not SO instruct, but reso-
buttons were adopted to the effect that
in case the State convention voted in
structionS these district conventions
would regard that action as instruct
ing their delegates. The State eonven-
ton instructed for Taft, and in accord
ance with the district resolution the
district delegates are now considered
as having been instructed to vote the
same way. This gives Virginia's "a
votes to the Secretary, which is double
the number claimed by his managers
three months ago.
Mr.. Taft secured the Minnesota
delegates during the past week, all of
them having been instructed in the
strongest terms to vote for him with
the exception of those in the seventh
district, where his candidacy was en-
dorsed without direct instructions being
voted. The. Taft sentiment in Massa-
chusetts was abundantly exhibited dur
ing the past week, but in conformity
with the decision of the State conven-
tion no instructions were voted in any
of the districts.
There still remain several big fights
in the Southern States. In Texas there
is rather peculiar situation. The regu-
lar Republican organization has called
State and district conventions for May
Is, so as to conform to the rule an
nounced by the National Committee
that all delegates must be elected 30

THE WIDOWS SUIT IN EQUITY.

Ching Tam Shee, executrix of the
last will and testament of the late C.
Winam, by her solicitors, Wade War
rem Thayer and R. w. Breckons. has
brought suit for an injunction against
William A. Hall. She alleges that in
April, 1903, William a. Hall leased GER
tain property to her late husband for
a period of twenty-five years. April
II of this year Hall began suit in the
District Court for summary possession
of the property on the ground that GER
tain conditions of the lease had not been
fulfilled. Later, in spite of notice Of
appeal to the Circuit Court, he was put
in possession of the land.
The complainant alleges that the de-
PENDANT had waived whatever breaches
of conditions of the lease there may
have been; that he did not seek to en-
force them until after the death of c..
Winam; that the temporary admins
traitor of the estate had rendered him
the rent due; that the leasehold IS
practically the only property left by
the decedent; that if the exeeutrix IS
evicted from the property she will be
left destitute and homeless.
Therefore she prays that, Hall may
be enjoined from evicting her; that the
lease may be declared to be still IN
force, and that she NAV be put in pos
session of the property again.

tary's elevation to the Presidency. Un-
questionably certain of the rival can
didates are back of some of this work
1t may be Knox, Fairbanks, or Cannon
all of whom are known to be hopeful
still.
Anyone who goes out into the States
where conventions are being held Of
late soon becomes aware Of big press
propaganda for combating the roseate
reports which the Taft boomers began
sending out early. Two months ago
it seemed impossible to hold State or
Congressional district convention
without the hand of some Taft press
representative being seen. No matter
what the convention did, he twisted a
nice Taft story out of it, and away it
went to hundreds of newspapers. IT
is automatic that a denial never
catches up with a story, which fact NO
one knows better than a practical poll
tieian. For a while the Taft reporters
travelling hither and thither, with
ample funds for expenses, got away
with about everything. They bam-
boozled the country correspondents and
even fooled the big press associations
by their wiles.
Nowadays, some of the most reliable
correspondents, of long Washington
training. are out on the convention
trail, seeing to it that other reports are
available for newspapers. They are not
in the employ of newspapers, but in
the employ of some persons who are in
terested in other candidates than Taft.
Probably these writers would be quite
as ready to help their own favorites
along as the Taft writers have been tc
help their favorite. But the presence
of the rivals on the ground acts as q
check, and the reading public is get
ting fewer "fake" reports about who
carried conventions.
The other candidates are likewise
making very determined warfare in
other quarters, convinced that it is by
no means all over, and that the chance
of beating "Bill Taft" is still big
enough to be worth improving to the
utmost.
The total number of delegates now
elected is 54S, gain of &c during the
past week, and 81 more than a majority
of the convention. The following table
shows how these delegates stand ac-
cording to the action of the conven-
tions by which they were elected.
Those actually instructed by conven-
tions are given to the candidates the
instructions were voted for. In the
case of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin,
where the delegates were elected under
primary laws, the result is given as
though instructions had been voted.
There was no opposition to the Knox
delegates in Pennsylvania, and in
Wisconsin one Taft man was elected
out of the delegation of 90. The fol-
lowing is the impartial alignment of
the delegates at present:

direct to the people. Up to date
nothing has been done by the
National Government to improve
the public highways. T h i s
would be of far greater worth to
the country, to inland commerce,
to the entire people than any
other improvement on the long
list of needs and desires. To
bond the country for this pur-
pose ought to meet the approval
of all the people; it would be
wise to do so, but to bond it for
a few big developments where
but few comparatively enjoy the
benefits, is not evenhanded JUS
tice, not fair to the people and
ought to be condemned.
