How would / use an endowment of
100000 If that amount were left
to me for the express purpose OF
spending it for the benefit of human
ity?
!. First | would pay off the debt Of
$a5Cr of the Children's Home Find
ing Society, use $4,000 to improve
the grounds and get playground
apparatus, and would endow the So
ciety with $250,O0O. Then | would
find suitable site among the homes
of working people and build a low
large bungalow with much porch
room for a day nursery, spending
SIS, 900 on the building and grounds.
and endowing the society with $780,
900 as this society is largely self
supporting.
The feeble-minded should be as
signed 100000, knowing that if a
beginning were made the state would
come to the rescue and enlarge and
support such an institution.
One hundred thousand dollars
should be used to build home for
working girls in pleasant residence
district within easy walking distance
OF Main and Eighth streets. All the
rooms should be practically the same
size and furnished at the same cost,
and the price charged the girl should
be based upon her salary. The room
privileges and food should be the
same whether the girl paid SO or
l$S per week. An endowment Of
100000 should be made to help
maintain such home.
Seventy-nve thousand dollars
should be given to the ChautauQua
association to buy Riverside park and
make the first necessary improve
ments in that part to be used as a
camping ground.
Forty thousand dollars should be
used to buy a park site to present
to the city That our park system
might be begun. One hundred thou
sand dollars should be devoted to
enlarging the grounds about the
cramped city schools and making
them available for Fairgrounds.
Fifty thousand dollars should be
given to the good roads commission
for experimental road building about
Boise; $4,000 to the Associated
Charities to equip and maintain q
free dispensary and to be used in
the immediate relief of the sick poor.
The sum of $72,500 should be d.
vided between the two hospitals in
the proportion of the ratio Of the free
patients treated by each in the last
year.
| Last, but not least, the Humane
society should receive $4,000 to buy
and maintain farm within radius
OF 10 miles OF Boise to receive abus-
ed, worn-out or crippled animals. to
prosecute for cruelty, and to use Tor
the detection of those persons guilty
OF poisoning pet animals that they
may be known and treated with the
contempt due such an action.

OF 81. OOO. 900, 4 should sit and weep

SWAY DOWN SOUTH IN THE LAND
OF COTTON"

The South may we'll lay claim to the
title, Land of Cotton" There nearly,
fourteen million bales of cotton are pros
duced each year, out of a total world
crop of twenty million bales.
The production of cotton oil shows
up even more favorably.
The choicest cotton oil goes into the
manufacture of Cottolene, which has
won favor not only on its merits as
frying and shortening medium, but be-
cause Of its purity and wholesomeness.
Cottolene is as wholesome and sgen-
uine as the far-famed hospitality of the
Sunny South" y

EDGINGTON OPPOSES railroad
COMMISSION

Representative Geo. Edgington Is
opposed to creating the railroad
commission in Idaho, and has been
made the leader of the forces on the
floor of the house in that matter.
Perhaps in no other matter are
people so quick to accuse a public
man of acting from Interior motives
or from selfishness as when he takes
such a position in matters affecting
the railroads, but every man has the
right to his own beliefs. and those
who feel that everybody Is wrong
whose opinion does not agree with
theirs, should ask themselves the
question why do they themselves hold
the opinion they do?
There was a time when the editor
OF this paper thought that because
some very successful gentlemen talk
ed loudly for such commission, that
necessarily it must be the thing the
country needs, but since we have de-
voted some thought and study to the
matter, and have analysed carefully
to see why, so many OF us 90
not get along better in this
great agricultural district, since
we have gone into the subject
to see why farmers are poor
this year and just about as poor as
they were last year and Ave years
ago and ten years ago, the answer
that accounts for the gravest of our
conditions lies not in the freight we
pay but in the things we produce and
ship that ought to be fed right on
the farm and converted into products
that there is great demand
for at home, and which under
present conditions we ship in.
And If we got them shipped
in free of any freight charges,
and shipped all our hay and grain
out of the state free of charge, we
must still come to grief because the
policy is one that can lead only to
failure as surely as to attempt to
dam river and hold the water back.
When we get SO we can get the
good Of our farmers institutes, when
young men and young women have
enough sense to avail themselves OF
the free teaching done by the state
in winter, and brought to their very
doors, when both the business man
and the farmer and stockman get
together and determine that this
great rich agricultural country shall
no longer be run on the ruinous plans
of today and determine to infuse
rlans that will add the most and
quickest possible revenue and cut
on the greatest leaks, the matter OF
freight rates between home and the
state lire will be forgotten.
During the past year the State Uni
versity expended 100000 sending
lecturers about among us to teach us
the rudiments of success in getting
things to grow. and caring for cows
and hogs so that profits might accure
from our work. and while the lectures
were in progress. this writer went
about the streets asking men why
they did not attend the lectures. and
in most cases they knew about them
but just neglected to take any notice
OF them. When we asked the ladies
why they did not attend. they almost
invariably asked. Are there any la
dies there?"
One brave woman who was vel
dressed and looked as If she belonged
to PROSPEROUS home came in OF
time at every session and sat 1t out

Washington, March 2i-Taking advantage
of situation In the Senate in which they
assume they will hold the balance Of power,
the Republican insurgents have begun early
to outline their plans for the special session
of Congress. Beginning with the Republi-
can caucus. they will demand proportion
ate representation on the Senate commit
tees. When the organization Of the Senate
has been completed they will launch their
legislative programme. which includes the
direct election Of Senators and the bill for
permanent tariff commission and. proba-
bly,. approval of the constitutions of New
Mexico ana Arizona. An effopk is now be-

definitely announced that such an organiza-

there is much divergence Of opinion among
insurgents themselves There is no doubt,
however. that no effort is being spared to
attain this end.
