would like to wear the mantle of Will

that with the support of the west he

Mr.. Bremen received his legal educa-

The Socialist Vote in Europe.

One of the most significant phases of
the present shift and play of political
forces in Europe is the steady gain in
the socialistic vote, particularly on the
continent. In England every by-elec-
tion shows the important influence of
the socialistic labor factor in British
politics. The socialist electors hold the
balance of power in more than one dis
trict in greater London, although in
1.-THE municipal elections held on Novem-
ber, ! in Liverpool, Bradford, Coventry,
and several smaller cities, the socialistic
candidates were defeated. It is in the
parliaments of the continent, however,
that the present political strength of
socialism is most strikingly shown. At
the October election in several of the
German states there were notable so
cialistie victories-From "The Pro
gress of the World, - in the American

BELG1UM's KING NEAR TO DEATH
Leopold Was on Verge of Recovery but
Suffers Relapse.

Brussels, Belgium, Dec. 13.-King
Leopold who has been seriously i'll for
a fortnight, but who was believed to be
convalescent, suffered relapse. A bull
letin says:
"The rheumatic pains have disap-
peared, but the king is suffering from
a disquieting affection of the alb
domen." Supplementary information
indicates that the affection is obstruc-
ton of the intestines. There is pres
ent also some dropsy of the legs. Ply
sicians did not disguise from the king
the gravity of the situation, although
they do not regard it as desperate.
The king, who is in possession of all
his faculties, conferred with Baron
Gofinet, his private secretary, to whom
he gave few final instructions. The
baron, Prince Albert Leopold, heir pre-
sumptive, and Prince Albert and NJ.
Schollaert, the PREMIER did not leave
the bedside of his majesty today and
Princess Clementine, his third daughter,
is expected soon.

Rutt and Clark Winners.

New York.-Walter Rutt of Germany
and "Jack" Clark of Australia won the
annual six-day bicycle race at Madison
Square garden from an exhausted and
hopeless field. Their distance of 1850. 1
miles for 142 hours, which is rs miles
behind the record of 2737.1 miles, made
last year by Mcfarland and Moran,
gives no adequate idea of race which,
for broken records, broken precedents
and broken teams, has been the most
exciting ever seen at the gardens.
In the competitive mile exhibition
between the two winners that followed
the race proper Rutt defeated his part
ner, Clark, by six inches, although Clark
is rated the speediest short distance man
in the world, barring Frank Kramer,
the champion. The men divided first
money-$1, 6OO-between them.

Advance Rural Education.

The Importance of rural education in
our state can be realized when it is
remembered that "a per cent of our
population is rural. For some time past
President Black of the Lewiston Nor
nal of Idaho has recognized the fact
that it would be we'll if those who are
to teach in the rural schools received
special training for this important work.
In the past, in Idaho as everywhere,
the rural schools have been more or less
below the general standard-sometimes
because of poor equipment, but more
often because of poorly trained teachers
who had no thorough understanding nor
sympathy with the condition about
them.
Strange as it may seem there are but
two educational institutions in America
today that offer courses in rural science
with the distinct view of training teach
ers for rural schools-Macdonald college
in Canada and Lewiston normal in our
own state. 1t is Idaho that is now
pointing the way in this important
phase of education. Bulletins are soon to
be issued by the Lewiston normal on
various phases of rural school education
and may be obtained by addressing
President Black.

correct, that the list is fagrantly
swelled and padded solely for sensa-
