Women Who Will Gamble.

The most difficult gambling to Keep
In check both in Singapore and Pc
nang is gambling among Straits-born
women of all classes from the high
est downward. Frequent complaints
are received from husbands whose
wives have lost heavily, and it is
known that there are five lotteries
opening more or less daily in Singa-
pore which are almost exclusively sup
ported by "nonias" Education may
possibly do omething to stop this vice
among the Straits-born ladies, but it
must be confessed that it's effect in
that direction on their husbands and
brothers is bnt emall.-Soutb China

Inundation of the Nile.

The valley of the Nile is inundated
regularly every year from the 18th Of
June to the 18th of September. When
the river subsidies it leaves a rich de-
post Of soil for six miles on each side
of the stream Sometimes the over
flow is excessive, but if the inundation
falls short failure of crops results. In
1929 the flood was so great as to
cause the loss of 10000 lives and the
destruction of much property.

Three Men In One.

A witty writer has observed with
much truth that every man is, in a
sense, three different men. In the
first place, he is the man he thinks
himself to be; in the second place, he
is the man other persons think him
to be; and, finally, he is the man that
he really is.

In another resolution, the Democratic committee
of the State committed itself and its party to the
policies and personality of William J. Bryan With
out question, the convention at Twin Falls will
second the endorsement of the committee and send

Mr.. Bryan will deeply appreciate the situation here
in Idaho for he is the exponent of principles that

A New Discovery.

In its discussion on things material and mma-
terial the Boise Statesman has finally fastened its
intellectual grasp upon machine, political machine
in fact upon two machines, state and
tiona1 and both democratic. The humor of the dis
covery causes one to bubble with hilarious exuber
anCe.
A machine in party that commands of the
spoils upon which machines are sustained and
of the rewards that bosses must distribute with
sparing hand, else they not bosses! The sug
geston destroys itself, for there are no phenom-
ena in potcs-no miracles in the modern dspen-
sation.
In the spoi1s1ess Democratic party an adviser may
arise and maintain himself and his counsels may
and not to cupidity and no machine was ever built
upon foundation composed of such fine grained
material For the machine is essentially gross and
worldly. It's substance is the common clay of
avarice for power or cash and where these rewards
are lacking there is nothing to sustain the throne
of the boss bear up his scepter.
If the Boise paper will readjust the lens of its
intellectual vision, it may be able to perceive the
real machine but its observation must necessarily
extend from within and not from without.
1t might be mentioned Illuminating example
that an important wheel in an effective party ma
chine is sometimes cast in the foundry of the print
ing department of the State and that 1ubricating
oil is often by-product of other departments.
If the illustration is suggestive, pardon is inn
pored. 1t requires either formula or surgical
operation to introduce an idea into an opaque I'M
derstanding.

slightly damaged b. the force Of the
explosion.
The cause of the sudden bursting
of the boiler is somewhat of a
mystery. Prevailing opinion Is that
the water was low resulting in a
strain on a faulty boiler and q blow
up.
This theory is secuted by many
trailroad men who knew Wetterman

Strange to relate the crew of the

did the tender of the first engine
suffer from the explosion to any
great extent. The battered boiler
was brought to the West Mound
