Marshall to Pay His Own Expenses.

Gov. Thomas X. Marshall said
that he had declined an offer of
four of his friends to make up
fund to meet the expense of his
personal campaign as Democratic
candidate for the Vice Presidency.
Instead, he said he had arranged
with a bank to borrow $4,000,
which, he estimated, would be
enough to pay for his speaking
tours and incidental items.
The men that offered to take
over my campaign expenses have
high political ideals, and l cannot
conceive that they would seek to
have the value of their money re-
turned in political favors," said the
Governor, but / never have been
under obligation to any person for
campaign funds and now is not the
time to begin. / have little avail
able cash, but | shall be amply
able to meet this loan."

MORE WIRELESS
OPERATORS NEEDED

The inestimable service which
the wireless rendered in the res
cue of the Titanic" survivors
is alone sufficient to immortalize
the name of Marconi: in the con-
fusion and excitement Of events
the daily press paid scant praise
to the great inventor, who al
ready has saved nearly 5000
lives. 1t is very apparent, how
ever, that the continued employ
ment of beardless youths in the
wireless station..of passenger lin
ers must cease. Positions in
volving so momentous response
bilities are not in the nature of
things fully realized by boys in
their teens. This is one of the
reforms. international conference
must secure, and should require
not only examination as to wire
less ability, but even more as to
fitness of operators. That the
mere sending or receiving OF
wireless is anything but difficult
is attested BY the thousands of
grammar and high-school boys
who are already operating for
pleasure. but the qualities of ma
ture Judgment and endurance
are a prime necessity. Morrow
er. a reasonable number of At
lantic steamers should, when
crossing. be required to maintain
unbroken attendance in the
spark house, not for their own
advantage, but to provide for the
receiving of distress messages
from other vessels.
If governments should now
impose upon ship stations condi-
tions which seem onerous to
steamship companies, the penal
ty is not undeserved. Hereafter
it must be impossible for even

GIRL DIES FROM EATING
POISONED CANDY

Boise, Ida, June "A. Lena
Speers. Is years old, lies dead al
the home of her brother .in-law,
H. b. Benson, six miles from
Rupert, as the result of poisoned
candy sent to her through the
mail.
Determined to locate the mail
err of the package and charge
him with the crime of murder,
special agents, under the direc-
ton of the postoffice department,
are following every possible clew
and are confident they will be
successful. They refuse to dis
cuss the evidence so far uncov-
cred. Postoffice Inspector Neal,
with headquarters here. has
charge of the case. A Bull man
and former sweetheart is sus-
pected.
Living on rural mail route,
Miss Speers went to the mail box
as was her custom and secured
the mail yesterday. She found
a package properly addressed to
her which the carrier had left,
and, opening it, found it was
candy. She ate most of the top
layer as she walked home. Hear
ing her on the back porch and
noticing something wrong, her
sister, Mrs. Benson, found her in /
commissions and at once gave the !
alarm.
Mr.. Benson went to Acqua
and, failing to get telephone |
connection with Rupert, sent
word by the train, but the young
woman was dead before the doc
tor arrived. Olive oil was given
to two of Mr.. Benson's children
who ate a part of the candy, and
no bad results were noticed. The
box contained Bull postmark,
and the writing resembled that
contained in letters the girl had
been getting. 1t is understood a
warrant will be issued for the
suspected man. The body will
be shipnsd to Lima Mont,
where the girls parents live,
for burial.

Since the above lines were

GREAT INTEREST IN
ANTIQUARIAN RESEARCH
United States Government Seek.
ing for knowledge of
Early Peoples.

Washington, June 26. Never
in the history of the world has
more interest been taken in an
tiquarian research than now.
Never have people of all class
es been more DESTROYS of probing
into the mysteries shrouding the
twilight Of human existence on
this earth.
Governments and individuals
are prying into the RECORDS that
have been left to US in stone, in
bronze, and marble, and in vari-
GUS other forms, perishable and
imperishable.
Science has learned to read
much that the past has left in
the form of records. Much re-
mains TO decipher. There are
mounds scattered over the great
Mississippi valley which consti-
tute in themselves, and in the
relics they cover, records of a
vanished race which may have
had a highly developed political
system with the initiative, the
referendum, and perhaps the re-
call Of decisions as well as the
recall Of medicine men.
ACTIVITY IN RESEARCH.
From the Arctic Circle to the
Southernmost tip of Patagonia
exist ruins and relics of prehis-
toric peoples. some of whom left
traces of as high culture as any
that can be found in the ancient
homes of culture in the old
world. In order to delve into the
mysteries Of these ancient civil
izations, the Government Of the
United States Is making appro-
priations every year so that its
scientific men may study the
progress of the ancient inhabi-
tants of this continent. and the
results of their study. and of the
researches Of hosts of other men
of science. will be told in a most |
graphic and enthralling way at
the San Diego Exposition, in
1915.
Prominent among the archaeo-
logical Investigations of the next |
few years will be those under
taken directly by the Exposition
itself under the direction Of the
famous government archaeolo-
gist. Prof. Edgar l.. Hewett,
who is now director of archaeo-
logical exhibits for the San Die
go fair. Col. ID. c. Collier. pres
ident of the Exposition, met
Prof. Hewett in Arizona, and
tho two struck up an enthusiast
tic friendship. The professor
was delighted with the plans of
the exposition. and since then he
has led an expedition for the ex-
position into Central America
where he uncovered ruins which
scientific men had long been de-
sirous of exploring, and which
tell a fascinating tale of culture
and refinement among people
who vanished from their cities
and temples thousands of years
ago. All of this will find a place
in the story of the Progress of
Man, which will be graphically
told ut the exposition.

REAL LIFE AND THE
COLLEGE GRADUATE

| WIltU Jilt Hleu vi tApSIltuCC ait
wisdom, selected by college fac
ulties to advise and condoIe will
their graduates, will tell thos,
young hopefuls what they are
going to be up against, wher
they enter upon real life. .
There is no more curious com.
ment upon modern education
than this. The persistence OF
the belief that the cloistral at
mosphere still enshrouds the col
lege; that the college student is
concerned, during his college
career, only with ideals and the
cries; that he is instructed by
impractical book-worms and re-
cluses; that "the world" is lying
in wait to do for him when he
comes out, all this can be ac-
counted for only upon the as
sumption that the belief is to
some extent true or that the
modern mind is almost hopeless
ly slow to adapt itself to changed
conditions. The strangest thing
Of all is that most of those who
hold to this belief seem to think
that these conditions are much
as they should be that the col
lege man should be trained to
some vague scholastic sort of ex-
istence while in college; should
be subjected to a regimen such
as on the whole to unfit him for
the life he must enter after leav-
ing college. so that he will be up
against it good and hard when
he enters real life" Indeed
the constant use Of the express
sion real life" must imply that
college life is unreal life. And
the no less constant intimation
that he will be up against the
real thing" when he gets out,
that he must learn the real bust
ness of living after leaving COL
lege.
In fact, much of what is said
on commencement platforms to |
college graduates is either the
severest sort of satire upon the
colleges; yelled insult to the in
telligence of college teachers and
students; or. if true. such truth
as should lead us to pity college
graduates as the most unfortun-
ate of mankind.
In any case conditions call inn
peratively for a reform of the
colleges, of the ideas of COM
mencement orators, or of the at
titude of the. public at large to-
ward the colleges and their grad
yates. Educational Review.
For the conditions complained !
Of. no one is to blame but the |
colleges themselves. They not |
only permit and encourage the
students to conceive the notion
that the college is the only place
which knowledge is to be had.
but the faculty and regents in
variably use their efforts to place
the college graduate in a class
by himself. or rather, in class
where none but college graduates
are permitted to enter.
Laws are urged which make
il virtually impossible for any
but the fellow with a sheepskin
to enjoy the blessings of free
dom. knowledge is no longer
the object which should be de-
sired. but rather the attendance
az college is the standard by
which educators" guage ones
qualifications.
The result is that when the
college graduate is turned loose
in the business world he finds
that common sense and not ego
tism is what is required. and if
he succeeds he must revise his
