same retirement which He wishes His
disciples should practise. The priest
of God, while invested with powers that
we're not impaired to the angels, re-
mains human. The need Of personal
sanctification is then all-apparent. In
order to enable the priest to attain at
least slight degree of that perfection
which is the Masters, these six months
have been set apart in the life of the
priests of the Society of Mary. These
are months of blessing for the priest
and people alike, for the greater the
sanctity and knowledge of the pastor
the more fruitful will be his labors
among such as have been entrusted to
his fostering care.
At present the House of the Second
Novitiate, known os the Villa Mariana,
is situated at Moncalieri, in the Prov
ince of Turin, Italy. There at the foot
of the majestic Alps near the ancient
city of Turin, the one who for the past
four years has partaken of your joys
and your sorrows, will spend his six
months of retirement, beginning Sep
tember first.
Distance is as nothing to the mind of
man. Although far away from you in
body, shall be with you in mind,
especially at the Altar of God.
During my absence remember me in
your supplications and ask of the Giver
of all good gifts that He bestow His
blessings on His priest and sanctify
him for the sake of His people
Be steadfast in the faith and keep the
true Christian Spirit alive in your
households. 1t will be consolation
and joy for me to find on my return
into your midst, that the Masters
Grace has never been received in vain.

Official Visit Of Grand Chancellor.

The official visit of the Grand Chan
cellor, DR.. G. B. Shirley, of Weiser, Ida
no, to our district Monday, May 80, was
very pleasant aud instructive one.
He was met at the halfway station by
a committee who escorted him in a
private conveyance to our city where
he was received by a large delegation
from Silver City Lodge No. %
The object of his visit, ss is generally
understood, was to give information
concerning the progress made by the
order during the past year.
Immediately after the lodge was duly
opened that same evening, Chancellor
Commander. George Jeffery, introduced
the visitor as DIR. C. B. Shirley, Grand
Chancellor of the Grand Domain of
Idaho.
In his very interesting address to the
lodge, he spoke of the substantial gains
made by the order not only in number
of new lodges out also in the increased
membership of nearly all of them; he
also reviewed the general purposes and
workings of the order. He further
stated that he had visited all the lodges
in his domain except two and would
complete his round by the time Grand

Mr.. Smith came to Idaho about fif-

Mr. Smith belonged to a class of artists

A POPULAR MOVEMENT.


In this issue we publish the second
letter from Hon. Dow Dunning on the
subject of Direct Legislation. Mr..
Dunning has given this subject much
careful investigation, and being a deep
thinker and student of political econo-
my, his articles on this subject are of
unusual interest.
Mr.. Dnnning shows that the history
of the world proves conclusively that
as long as governments are controlled
by the popular will of the people, they
are free independent and prosperous;
but when the representatives of wealth
and great estates obtain control of the
law making bodies and make the gov
ernment of any country subversive to
special interests, that country soon be-
comes weakling among the nations of
the earth and looses its power as a ma
tion; its citizens are a discontented lot
for an equality of opportunity is i'm
possible under such conditions. That
this country is rapidly following in the
footsteps of other governments that
have lost their prestage and power and
have been overthrown, either by iu
ternal insurrection, or inyasion by the
more liberal and popular ruled nations,
can be plainly seen by any one who
gives this subject any careful and un-
biased investigation.
Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., of Ore
gon, in an address in the Senate of the
United States on May 5, 1910, on the
subjecl of Popular VS. Delegated Gov
ernment, tells how direct legislation is
working in the State Of Oregon. He
says in part:
Mr.. President, l reiterate that Ore
gon has evolved the best system of pop
ular government that exists in the
world today

ment.
The direct primary absolutely in-
sures popular selection of all candidates
and establishes the responsibility OF
the public servant to the electorate and
not to any political boss or special in
terest.
The initiative aud referendum is the
keystone of the arch of popular gov.
ernment, for by means of this the peo,
Pile may accomplish such other reforms
as they desire. The initiative develops
the electorate because it encourages
study of principles and policies of gov,
ernment, and affords the originator Of
new ideas in government an opportun
ity to secure popular Judgment upor

of his State deem the same worthy o.
submission to popular vote. The re

lature.

WHALE WAS TOWING THE DORY
Monster Caught In the Trawi Line While Engaged in Stealing the
 Captains Fish.

Capt. William O'Donnell of the fish Ing travis several miles of Race Point when his dory began to act strangely. says the Boston Herald The boat stood on its stern, then tilted by the head and started out to sea at tre- mendous speed. The captain was ex- periencing a new sensation, and it made him a trife anxious, because there was no clew to the mysterious power that was rapidly taking him oil soundings.
 With added momentum the dory forged away from the schooner. and its occupant. who admits he was scared, cast off the trawl and crouched in the stern of the boat so the bow would not be dragged under water. But the trawl caught, and two minutes aft CT the dory was flying through the waves at such a rate that water began to slop over the sides.
 The dory was rapidly leaving the schooner, when the tension on the line relaxed anG the dory presently stopped The captain hauled in the trawl and found the hook stripped of fish as re- suit of the speed at which they had been dragged through the water Near the end of the gear. however, was found the head of dead cod, its body having been bitten off. That is what makes Capt. O'Donnell believe a whale gave him the terrifying ride out Cape Cod way. He thinks the whale nipped the cod and some of the keen hooks scratched its head and sides and dug into the skin until the whale had lowed the dory long way seaward

ADKINS IS FOUND
 GUILTY OF MURDER

Perryville, April 20.-John Adkins was convicted of murder in the first degree here today The date for his execution will be set tomorrow morn ing. The trial of Willie Jones, who is accused of complicity in the mur- der of his father, will begin tomor- row morning.
 The defense today tried to establish the plea of self-defense, but the tes- timony evidently had little effect or the jury, which was out only about an hour. The verdict was brought in at 5:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon. Ad- kins heard the verdict and sentence without demonstration of any sort It is not known whether he will ap. peal or ask for new trial
 Adkins and Jones are charged with the murder of William Jones ST., who lived near here. Jones was assassin. ated recently while enroute home, anc then his body was robbed. The unusual feature of the tria was that one of the principal wit nesses against the defendants was Mrs. Rachael Jones, wife of the mur. dered man, brother of Adkins and the mother of the boys. The case was tried in the Perry circuit court before Judge Guy Fulk.

NEVER COLLECTED HIS FEE
Amateur Effort Of Young Lawyer Went Unrewarded, But Perhaps
 There's a Reason.

William Henry Marlatt went into the practice of the law before he was admitted to the bar. but the lawyers union has never objected to him on that account. It was In the summer of '92, after his graduation from the Yale law school and before he had been admitted to practice in this state, that he found man in jail in Laba- non, O.. who was playing checkers with his nose because of a conflict between himself and the statute re- lating to horse stealing. Marlatt dis covered some irregularity in the com mitment papers and started habeas corpus proceedings which set his man at liberty.
 They walked out of the courthouse into the street, where the man asked the young lawyer to state the amount of his fee, which information was fur nished him without delay. The man hadn't the money eith him. having been in jail. but he said he'd send it at once
 My best advice to you" said the lawyer, lis to hotfoot it out of town IS fast as ever you can before the sheriff gets after you with new set of papers"
 MI Marlatt," replied the man. "if God lets me live until Saturday night I'll see that you get that money" And he started down the street on a run
 They never arrested the fellow, but Marlatt is certain sure God didn't let him live, because he never sent the money. He just started off on a run and for all anybody knows he ran him self to death. However. MT Marlatt recalls his first experience at the bar with mingled emotions as he mentions the fee he earned but never got.- Cleveland Leader.

The patents are for "an apparatus for the transmission of pictures by wire. showing color and motion" The brothers could not obtain money in their own country to defray the ex. penses of preparing working models and procuring patents, but they were helped by Parison concern, which paid S0,000 francs for all the rights and has agreed to pay also eight per cent. on the earnings resulting from the invention.
