Address Of Dr. E. G. HrSch of Chicago, Made During
his Visit to Tuskegee, with the Rosenwald Party.

The eloquent address of DIR. E.
G. Hirsch, who was member OF
the Rosenwald party that recently
visited Tuskegee Institute.
DR.. Hirsch's address follows
"Dr. Washington, Ladies and
Gentlemen:
Like Mr. Rosenwald, l am un-
der obligations to you. Our visit
here has been a veritable inspira-
ton. The great German poet,
Goethe, remarked somewhere that
what you desire in your younger
days, you generally attain only
when old age is upon you. l have
desired to see your institution from
the very day l heard OF its exls-
tence. In the meantime L have
grown old and what [ desired in
the younger days has come to me
in its rich fulness here when L am
standing at the threshold OF my
life's evening tide. Therefore, l
am personally under more obliga-
tions to you. You are solving a
problem. Most Of those in your
race believe that you are solving a
problem, that you are solving a
problem, that of your race alone
and for your alone. A narrow view
of this to take! You are solving
a problem of American life for all
of lis, and who knows but that you
are solving it for the world at the
same time?
1--WE have often in our churches
read the opening chaper of Gene
sis. and l dare say, if | may Judge
by the general attitude mentally
and morally of the world, we have
failed to understand its essential
message. That opening chapter
tells us that God made man in his
image and we have not understood
what that old Hebrew story may
have intended when it placed upon
men the crown of likeness with the
GREAT creator of the world. The
Cracks had stories about the gods,
bnt none of the Greek gods were
ever pictured as working. they
drank ambrosia, quaffed nectar; en-
oaqed in all sorts of intrigues and
committed acts that the better civil
lization of later years refuses to
mention in a society like this.
That was the occupation OF the
Greek gods and many OF our Amer
leans today are much like the
Greeks. Their ideal of life is to
drink and not always ambrosla at
that, to quaff, not always nectar
to engage in all sorts of intrigues,
and because they cannot carry on
that life without having money,

bel;evers in one God, and have be-

Organization Was Effected at
Meeting Tuesday Evening.
TO HAVE FINE DIAMOND
Enclosed with Board Fence--Seat-
ing Capacity of 1900.

At meeting Of business men and
base bali fans, held in the office of
Atty. Hattabaugh Tuesday evening,
a permanent organization was effected
to take charge of the ball club which
is to be organized very shortly. A
governing board consisting of Frank

NanDeventer, S. A. Foster, }. f.
Miller, Nj. r. Hattabaug and l.. A.
Wisener was selected
The tender of Frank VanDeventer
to donate the use of two acres of ground
in the south part Of the city for the
use Of team was accepted and esti-
mate on the cost of fencing the same,
laying out diamond and erecting a
grand stand and bleachers was given.
The cost Of getting the ground in
shape and giving to the city the best
fenced ground in the country will be
in the neighborhood of $500, the
small cost being due to the fact that
many have agreed to donate work.
The offer was accepted and contract
is being drawn up in accordance.
The proposed plans provided seat
ing capacity for 800 in the grand
stand and 500 in the bleachers. The
price of admission will be placed at a
very nominal figure, twenty-five cents
to any part of the ground. This,
with good games, should bring out au
excellent attendance.
The town of Winchester has raiseo
81, 800 for the support Of a team anc
there is no doubt that the proposition
of $500 contribution from Grange
vile as the only requirement to gel
the city in line on baseball matters
will be readily met. In few days
soliciting committee will call on yo,
and insist that you do your par
towards keeping up the ball team ano
thus preventing the complete death o
the town. Selfish interests SHOULD
prompt every man to contribute
even should there be no other incen
tive.
The following officers were elected
President, NJ. r. Hattabaugh; secre
tary, L. A. Wisener; treasurer
Frank McGrane; manager Of team

from the house, entered the senate
chamber and announced that the
house was ready to adjourn.
In the meantime President Sweetster
had been doing his best to hurry the
bills over from the house in order
that he might sign them before adj
journment. The journal of the last
day was approved and many other
details were disposed of. One senator
after another had taken his departure
until when the final gavel fell there
was but handful of senators, who
lived near by, in the chamber. Thus
ended the long and tiresome day that
began Saturday morning; thus was
brought to close the work of the
upper house of the eleveth session of
the Idaho legislature.
"Mr Speaker, | notice that Moni-
tor Time is going around the dial and
that we have reached the hour Of
11:55 p. m. As there is nothing
more for the members of the house of
of eleventh session to do, | move that
we adiouri sine die.
Thus spoke Peter G. johnson of
Bingham county at 4:20 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, it being really only
11:55 Saturday night as far as the
house was concerned. AS he made
this motion, which would put an end
to the session, there were but few
members in their seats. Scarcely a
score could be seen, but they cheered
and heartily too, as they heard the
motion put and listened to the speaker
strike the gavel declaring the session
closed.

WON
Hawley's Appointment of lnsur-
ance Commissioner Confirmed.
PRINCIPLE PUT ABOVE PARTY
Republicans Convinced Accusa-
tions Without Foundation.

Coming with great satisfaction to
the people Of Idaho county in particu-
lar and the citizens of North Idaho in
general was the news of the con6rment
by the senate Of Gov. Hawley's APP
pointee for insurance commissioner,
|. {. Hattabaugh, on last Friday.
There never has been any semblance
of doubt in the minds of the people
who were familiar with the true facts.
that if the senate was acting in good
faith and would go to the bottom Of
the charges preferred by one McCon-
nell of Moscow, Mr.. Hattabaugh
would be completely vindicated.
The Boise dispatch bearing on the
action Of the senate which lead to the
confirmation reads:
The senate staged another Of its
famous scenes this morning when It
confirmed the appointment of Isaac
G. Hattabaugh of Grangeville as
state insurance commissioner. The
ratification followed an eloquent ap-
peal by Senator w. H. Hornibrook
to save the good name of citizen of
Idaho from being dragged in the dust
and which was endorsed by Senators
Perry w. Mitchell, A. G. kerns and
A. L. Freehafer.
The anchor of republican caucus
failed to hold, with the result that
five members of the majority wing in-
dorsed Hattabaugh on the official
rollcall, which stood IA to 8. Two
of these, Senators Whitcomb and
Eckert, who stood by their caucus
agreement until they realized that
confirmation was certain, changed
their votes from no to yes and scored
the majority members for binding
them and then voting against the
agreement. Whitcomb in particular
did not hesitate to declare that he
had been deceived by his colleagues
and he named in particular Senator
st. Clair Of Bingham county, Eckert
changed his vote, stating that he was
III honor bound to stand by the eau
Gus agreement, but as others had bro
ken it before him he felt that he was
no longer tied. He is personal
friend of Hattabaugh.
There is bitterness in the republ-
can ranks today as the result of the
confirmation, although it was known
before the matter came up that Hat
tabaugh had enough votes to confirm.
Senator Page was the first republican
to vote for the confirmation
St. Clair created the most surpris,
when he voted to confirm. He eN
planned he was convinced Hattabauel
was an honest man. Whitcomb an,
Eckert voted in the negative, bu
I, quickly changed to the affirmative
and explained their motive

The modern mode of travel from
the "outside world to Grangeville,
has served, to transform this county
seat town from frontier village to
an up-to-date city of splendid appear
ance and of bright promise.
The regret Of this State today is
that its topography is such as to pre-
cludc, for the present, the splendid
citizenship of the south from acquaint-
ance and consequent association, with
the high grade men and women Of this
productive country.
1t is only fair to suggest, however,
tha, the modern mode of travel which
has SO recently supplanted the stage
coach OF this northern country, was
surrounded with more proportianate
difficulties than is the distance between
our capital, for instance, and the seat
of government Of this largest Of all
Idaho counties, extending from Mon
tana to Oregon and Boosting, in ad-
dition to its splendid landed areas,
of its Thunder Mountain, its Buffalo
Hump, and an assessed valuation for
the past year of quite four million
