turn card and in case this comes back
to us we then send the regular league
booklet.
We hafe sent out fewer names this
year to the clubs in the league than
ever before. The explanation of this
is that we have expended less money
for advertising space and more in fol-
lowing up the names received. We
have sent out more small pieces of
literature this year, have written many
inquirers two or three letters instead
of one and in many little ways which
were considered effective have en-
deavored to hold the interest of the
man who had already written us in
stead of dropping him and going after
new one.

is not possible in days or a week S
time 10 convince the class of man we
want in Idaho that he should move out
here 1t requires months of patient
and searching thought on his part.
He is fixture in his community, likes
the place, likes his neighbors and
knows what he has to contend with
he has property which he must sell
before he can move, this may take a
year or even more; his habits OF
thought are leisurely, he is not accus-
toned to making up his mind on such
an important question without great
deal of thought He is not a letter
writer either, he probably did some
thing a bit unusual when he wrote us
for information and does not find il
necessary to let US know he has had
our book and is favorably impressed
with the country.
"These things, however, should moi
discourage us. If the tide of immigra'
ton into Idaho is to be maintained
we must persist, for our work is ed
ucational and we must continue tc
advertise and to send our pamphlets
to those who are interested enough tC
ask for them. This is so much seer
cast upon the water. The man wh'
receives the booklet will som" na'

Never Formally Released.

In connection with the bill recent
ly introduced in the House relating to
the transfer of insane persons it was
stated that Mildred Brewster had
once been released from the hospital
for the insane at Waterbury. AS a
matter of fact the woman was never
formally released.
The facts are that after a full hear

modified in accordance with the
statute and Miss Brewster was
placed in custody of a friend until
further order of the court. Upon
complaint of the friends husband

DEMOCRATS

gathered in the capital of Hoosierdou.
today to hold the State convention
Of the Democracy. With a Democrat
&c governor and a legislature that is
Democratic on joint ballot and vita
considerable dissatisfaction in the
Republican ranks, the political de-
scendants of Jefferson are confident
Of following up past triumphs with
a great victory, the sending of a
democrat to the United States Senate
&c succeed Albert J. Beveridge. Tho
mas Taggart, Democratic leader of
Indiana, is an aspiraat to the toga
now worn by the insurging Republi-
can.
The convention will begin this az
ternoon with district organization
meetings at the State House for the
selection of the members of the var
ious committees.
Immediately after these ~organiza-
tions meet h committees will meet
At the Denison Hotel and formulate
their report. Later in the evening,
perhaps at 7:3O or s O'Clock. the con
ventior will assemble il Tomlinson
Hail and hear the reports of the COM
nitteeS. The delegates from the va
rious counties were apportiOned
among the ninety-two counties on a
basis of one for every 200 votes cast
at the asst state election for Thos. R.
Marshall for Governor. This makes
1.747 delegates one of the largest
representations the Democratic State
convention has had for many years.
Today's transactions are prelimina-
~ To the real business of the con
ventioa, which is slated for tomorrow.
In forming a platform. particular at
tentioa will be paid to the tariff act
Of Payne and Aldrich. which will be
denounced in language picturesque
and fervid. There is great dissatis-
faction in Indiana with the tariff re
vision" and but for the fact that
Senator Beveridge worked valiantly
against the hill the Democrats might
look IpCn victory as already assured
As il is, many Democratic voters will
probably come to the support of Bev-
eridge because of mis- fight against
the "stapd-patters." AT that. the Re
publican situation is sufficiently mud
died at present to give the Democrats
ground for hope.
The leaders are divided as to plat
form policy in respect to the liquor
question Sore favor letting the
question severely alone, others want
the convention to declare for ward
and township local option. while still
otaars believe il would be good policy
to declare in favor of high license and

this time han to set aside one day
which nay be devoted to u moth
ers.
wish to call the attention of the good
people of Roswell to a custom which
has prevailed in many of the munich
p~alities, small and great, of setting
apart one day in acn year to pay
tribute to the noblest and best of
Gods creatures-our Mothers. tI

Is Your mother dead? Then you
should honor yourself and her mem
DRY by dismissing from your mind.
for one day, all other things and de
vote the time to service and work
That you know would gladden. aer
heart and fill her with joy if she were
with you.
Do you remember her many acts of
kindness and self-sacriice? Why
not repeat them as often as possible,
and especially, on a day set apart for
purpose? Is your mother living?
Then manifest your appreciation of
ner devotion to you by doing for one
day in the yea that which she is so
fond of doing every day.
There is no authority of law for is
suing this proclamation of setting
apart a day for the purpose, but |
suggest that Sunday. May s, 1910. be
observed by all the Churches OF the
city of RIOS well. as Mothers Day, and
as many as possible attend church OF
that day and wear a white ~carnation.
This suggestion is made because the
white carnation is especially appro-
pirate. Its whiteness stands for puri-
ty: its form, beauty: its fragrance,
love: its wide field Of growth. charity.
its lasting qualities. faitAfulness,-all

CARNEGIE
FOR PEACE

Washington, April 26.-UnFver1al
peace" declared Andrew Carnegie. lis
desired by all rulers and statesmen
of the earth But it's failure, the
magnate said he was persuaded, lies
in Ine fact. that these ruler and
statesmen know not each other we'll
Bv way OF opening his address at
the dedicatory exercises in the new
building OF the International Bureau
of American Republics, donated By
him, Mr.. Carnegie described himself
as one of the remaining members of
the first International conference of
the American Republics. and then
went on to draw a homely illustra-
ton.
Two men differ said ne. "ff
strangers, the probable result is strife
Two friends differ. The probable re-
suit is peaceful settlement by them
selves, or. falling in that, by arbitra-
lion Of friends, and the two friends
become dearer to one another than
before. That is because neither has
assumed To sit as Judge in his own
case. which violated the first princi-
pies of natural Justice. The greatest
crime which either man or nation can
commit is to insist upon doing that
which would consien the Judge on
the bench to infamy.
The crime of war is innerent,-it
gives victory not to the nation which
IS right. but To that which is strong
he declared with feeling.
THE most momentous declaration
ever made on this subject by the
caief of a nation .uaG that Of oar
President recently in New York. when
he proclaimed that all international
disputes should be settled by arbi-
~tration with no EXCEPTIONS: a court
of honor should decide whether any
dispute involved that phantom of ia
tions called honor, and the indepen-
dence of existing territorial limits of
nations would be of course sacred
and recognized as beyond dispute.
HE mas given us the true solution
Of peace against war and placed our
republic in the van; aad he is to
rank in history with the greatest
b~eEefactors of his race.
"One of the chief missions of this
palace should be, as their natural
home, to draw together the diplomats
and representative men OF all our re-
publics and enable them To know each
other and learn of the sterling vir-
tues of their colleagues, and espec-
ially of their earnest desire for the
prosperity of all their ~neighbors and
their anxious hope tnat peace shall
ever reign between them"
The possibility of Canada joining
the republics. with the approval of
England, Mr. Carnegie seemed to con
slider not remote. Canada he declar
ed, should not be excluded from the
cooperative work of the bureau. He
referred with emphasis to ner posi-
ton in the politics of the Western
Hemisphere. 1T may be questioned
whether this century is all Canada's,"
said Mr.. Carnegie, IF the bureau OF
American Republics continues to keep
the world advised of the progress of
