Body In Flames.

To advertise his dive last night
which was to have taken place at 1880
o'clock, Warburton donned the coat of
inf1amable material and walked down
Main street distributing bills He had
cotton to Fifth as far as the confec-
tionery store when he attempted to
light his cigar and spark of the SUI
phorous stick flying into the tail of the
cotton garment, it blazed up and the
flames enveloped Warburton in an in
slant. The man struggled to get out
of the cotton clothing and Deputy
Marshal John Pearson and Others
nearby ran to the mans aid and tore
the clothing from him.

A good many newspapers
are complimenting California
for taking a forward step"
by amending its state consti-
tuition SO as to give women
the right to vote and by
adopting the initiative, refer
endum and recall, the latter
applying to the judiciary as
well as to all other elective
Offices. Instead of congratu-
lating the golden state, we
feel more like extending to
its people our deepest sym
pathy, for adopting SO many
/ of these twentieth century
fads." So far as giving the
women of that state the right
to vote is concerned, no harm
will result, neither will any
great amount of good grow
out of it. Unless the women
of California are different
from their sisters in the other
western states where equal
suffrage prevails, the politics
: of California will not be puri-
lied co any great extent. In
making this prediction we are
simply basing our statement
upon conditions as they exist
n other equal suffrage states
Today. Are any better men
elected to office in any of
hese states today than there
we're before equal suffrage
vas adopted? Take Salt Lake

There are two laws on the
statute books of Idaho, enact.
ed by the last legislature, that
should receive the attention
of the next legislature at it's
first days session. One is the
law compelling everybody
men and women, irrespective
of age-to pay poll tax; the
other is the law compelling
teachers to attend a joint in
stitute at Pocatello at this
time of year, or at any time
for that matter. It is a fool
proposition that was engraft-
ed into the compiled school
laws by a commission that
evidently did not stop to take
many things into considera
ton. Regardless of the com.
missions two years effort
their work was not presented
to the Legislature until a short
time before the session was
ready to adjourn, and many
things contained in the pres.
ent law would doubtless have

eminent of those cities than
there was before women we're
given the ballot? Are the
rights of women protected by
laws any better in the equal
suffrage states than they are
in the other states? A com
parison of the laws of Idaho
with those of New York shows
that in the latter state the
women have better protection
in almost every respect than
they do in Idaho. Now we
are not arguing against wo.
man suffrage, but are simply
stating plain, cold facts when
we say that the politics OF
Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and
Idaho have not been purified
TO any perceptible degree by
giving the women of these
states the right Of suffrage.
As regards to the adoption
of the initiative, referendum
and recall of officials, by the
people of California, we be-
lieve they have unconsciously
lIeaped troubles upon them
selves. The one great trouble
with the country today is the
frequency of our national anC
state elections, Had the re
publican house of representa-
lives which was chosen with
President Taft in 1908, beer
elected for four years, We
firmly believe that conditions
today would be far better thar
they are.
The recall movement. means
more elections, more expense

among the people. It is /

we want none of it, SO far al
we are concerned.

CONAN DOYLE AT HIS BEST.

The story telling world seems to
be unanimous IN the verdict that ST,
Arthur Conan Doy lie is at his best ir
his Sherlock Holmes stories. the
Chicago Record Herald is now in the
act of breaking another record by
printing in it's columns all the Sher-
lock Holmes stories written, both
short and long. Some it has publish
ed in the past, but many of the best
are still to come. 1t is the only paper
in Chicago now running Sherlock
Holmes stories.
The Record Herald has only recent
~ begun on the "Memoirs Of Sherlock
Holiness" a series of thirteen Of these
famous detective tales. The stories,
which have been appearing only on
Sundays, are now to run right along
through every day of the week until
completed. This series is to be fol.
lowed by w long Sherlock Holmes
seri ABA Study in Scarlet" ant
"The Sign of the Fonr." Many FER
sons are taking advantage of this
chance to read the worlds best dets c
tive stories.
Sherlock Holmes mas the honor Of
being the most widely known charac-
ter in fiction. The fascination of hi
adventures and Of his marvellous detec
tive powers is felt BY all classes Of
leaders. You can always find some Q
the best popular fiction of the day il
