LECTURE CoURE
OPENS TUESDAY

The Caldwell Lecture Course nre-
sents the first number Tuesday even
ing, Dec. 20, at the Methodist church.
IN the person of The Strollers," one
OF the most popular musical numbers
III the entire west.
The announcement that the course
Will be held in the Methodist church
this season is sure to be received with
approval by the many patrons, as it
assures all safety and comfort as we'll
as perfect ventilation.
The opening number is no ordinary
attraction and the management is in
deed fortunate in securing this COM
pany OF real artists. During the past
season The Strollers were asked for
in many more places than there were
days in the year, and their popularity
is stedily increasing.
This did not just happen so. There
are sufficient reasons for it; and those
who have taken the pains to analyze
the personnel Of this quartet and catch
the rhythmic swing of its ensemble
work fully understand. Every man in
the world admres a real artist. But
when four men Of rare talent COM
blne in one company, the admiration
of the listener turns to enthusiasm.
That is why Stroller audiences clap
their hands.
1t is considered a mark of musical
excellence to be able to entertain
mixed audience, but The Strollers do
not halt here. In keeping with the
idea that is dominant in each of the
four men, they seek to inspire. Never
satisfied with ordinary achievements,
they have pushed toward the ideal.
The people are not tardy in generous
response to this. The result is mu
steal revival in every community visit
ed by The Strollers.
Their very, willingness to respond
to appreciation establishes friendly re-
lations with all The vivacity, CELEBRITY
and spirited movement of this COM
pany dispels all sense of WEAKNESS.
There is enough comedy in the pro-
gram to prevent ennui in the un-
schooled. Every effort is made not
only to meet but to exceed anticipa-
tons. This is why there are so many
calls for return engagements.
The Strollers are not musical pick
ups" They are musicians for life,
They court no other calling. To be
first in music is their one ambition.
This quality found them place on
the Redpath-Slayton lists and will
keep them there.
The matter of a place to hold the
course was left to the patrons and
the majority favored holding the
same at the Methodist church, and it
is so ordered. The only objection
urged against the selection of the
church building was that it might
prove too small to accommodate the
crowds. However, this is only another
reason why people should secure sea-
son tickets now and be assured OF
good seat for this and remaining num-
bers. The chart was opened at the
Saratoga Stationery store Wednesday
| afternoon.

TAX QUESTION
AGITATES PUBLIC

Just what the taxpayers and prop
erty owners of the county will ac-
complish in the way of getting tenn
porary relief this year The Tribune
is unable to say. They ask that they
be permitted to pay half the amount
by the first of January and the bal
ance by the first of July without be-
ing subject to penalty. Organizations
have been effected at Caldwell, Nam
pa, Payette, New Plymouth, Emmett,
Middleton and probably in many of
the smaller precincts. There is no
question that the people are fully
aroused to the seriousness of the
situation.
Unless relief is secured a great
many people will not be able to pay
their taxes in full where they might
be able to pay half the amount. If
this be true the county would prob
ably collect more tax money on the
first by permitting the half payment.
One result is going to come from the
agitation of the tax question, and that
is that the people will demand re-
vision of the revenue laws of the
state 1t may be that they will more
closely scrutinize public expenditures
in the future but we have little hope
of them doing that long. Full dis
cussion and agitation of the question
cannot help but do some permanent
good.

here. In announcing the term In
court Judge Dennison said:
THE newspapers had a report this

BRISTOL, Tenn, April 10.-There
is much interest in Southern Metho-
dist circles in East Tennessee over the
sensational charges made against
Mrs. E. E. Wiley, in charge Of the
orphanage at Greeneville, Tenn, and
the warrant against her charging the
mistreatment Of children, mismanage-
ment of the funds, etc. An investiga-

reported that the institution may sus-

1t is claimed that Mrs. Wiley's
treatment of the children intrnsted
to her care has not been what 1t
should have been, and she is on bond
charged with misconduct.
The charges are all the more SEN

lAFOLLEITE WANTS
A SECOND PROBE OF

ILLINOIS SENATOR'S ToGA Is
AGAIN MENAcED BY HIS
ASSOCIATES.
Fight WILL Be A WARM one
Material Testimony, He Says, Has
Been Found Since withdrawing"

Spent to Secure His Seat.

WASHINGTON, April Senator
LAFollette today introduced resolu'
ion providing for another investiga'
ton of Senator Lorimer's case. II
names of the committee on investi-
'ation Senators Works, of California;
Townsend, of Michigan; Paynter, OF
kentucky, Kern, of Indiana, and Pen
rose, of Ohio. No action was taken,
as Senator LaFollette intends to
speak on the resolution another day.
The resolution recalls the action Of
the Senate last session, when a move
failed to declare the seat of Senator
korimer vacant because of alleged
corruption of the Illinois legislature
which elected him. The resolution
recites
1T appears from the published re-
ports of the said proceedings of the
said Illinois State Senate committee
that witnesses who were not called
and sworn by the committee on this
Senate appointed to investigate said
charges have appeared before the
said committee of the Illinois State
Senate and upon being Intercepted
have given important material testi-
nony tending the prove that 100000
was corruptly spent Iadee ETAOIN
was corruptly expended to secure the
election of William Lorimer to the
United States Senate"
II Is expected the adoption of the
resolution will be opposed by Sena-
tors who voted for Senator Lortmer
hast session, and that an effort will be
made to have it referred to the COM
mittee on privileges and elections, of
which Senator Dilligham, of Vermont,
will be the new chairman. The Yer
mont Senator as member of the
committee, voted last session against
che resolution to unseat Senator Lor-
finer.
