ened to an astonishing breadth.
Without a word, he reached across
the back of the seat, and, Selling the
small boy under the arms, lifted him
and set him down on his fathers

Here's a seat, lady," he said.

"PESTIFEROUS INTERFERENCE"

| In opposing the bill creating a
child labor bureau, Senator Hepburn
| characterized the measure as "pesti-
| ferrous interference" and Senator
Borah in reply, referred to him as a
| combination in restraint of know
LEDGE" and said we ought to give the
children of the country as proper
protection as live stock.
1t looks to the Weiser Signal as
though the senior senator often takes
a negative position just to be opposed
to his colleague, but what he expects
to gain by it is hard to figure out No
Dor conditions in this country will for
moment contend that legislation of
some kind is not necessary. That all
remedial legislation is "pestiferous
interference" is understood by every
thinking person. To put a curb on
murder, horse stealing, dynamiting
and all other like crimes is ''pestifer-
GUS interference" but who will say
they should not stop. Big business has
been bowling because of the "pesti-
ferrous interference" with the Stan
dard Oil trust, the sugar trust, the
tobacco trust, the beef trust and other
combinations in restraint of trade, but
still the people encourage such inter
ference knowing full well that the
protection of their rights depends up
on the pestiferousness of the interior
ence and they applaud the most pes
tiferous of the interferers. Senator
Hepburn is an able man, and the Sig
nal would like to see him get in and
earn a little applause.

REV. LOWRY AT ASSEMBLY
Popular Evangelist Talks to Students
on Necessity of Aim in Life and
Importance of the Bible.

According to arrangements Mr..
| Lowry, the evangelist, addressed the
| assembly Wednesday morning. The
male quartet, composed of Messrs.
Morley, Boyd, Heard and Moody, be-
gan the services by rendering,
sang a solo entitled, Building Every
Day."
Rev. Lowry took the scriptural read
ing from the 18th chapter of Romans.
The theme of his address was very
general and was appreciated by the
students. He showed the Importance of
a definite aim in life and urged the stu
dents to follow an unattainable aim
rather than none at all. He said that
no one achieves success who is guided
by impulses; that, early in life, the
student should decide on questions of
temperance, morals and religion.
Mr. Lowry then spoke of the work
of the Bible in the life of a student.
He spoke of the Bible as the most
loved and hated book there is. He de-
clared that the Bible is always up-to-
date; no matter whether a woman
wears a hobble or a hoop skirt He
also spoke of the Bible as a scientific
work and said that the Bible was the
guide of Columbus.
Mr.. Lowry closed by urging the stu
dents to let the Bible take place in
their studies and to have definite
aim in life. His talk was earnest and |
we'll delivered and he employed many |
to verify his points.
The Y. M. G. A. hall was crowded |
and at the conclusion of his talk he |
was accorded appreciative applause.

THE LOWRY MEETINGS.

The value of daily paper in Mos

A thousand people attend these meet

thousand people read the best things
the revivalist has said each day In the
Daily Star-Mirror.
By the service the Star-Mirror gives
it's readers Mr. Lowry's audience is
more than doubled.
Each day the Star-Mirror prints the
cream of the evangelists sermon.
The excerpts are made by an ex-

and most striking portions of every

Moreover, there are people who read

suaded to go to the Tabernacle meet

others read them, become interested,
and do go.
1t is inconceivable that weekly
newspaper could render such serv-
ice to the people, of Moscow. The
weekly Star-Mirror, which gives its
readers more news than any other
weekly in Latah county could not do
it. No matter how conscientious the
effort, the weekly would be, and is,
limited by the consideration of space.
The Star-Mirror is justifiably glad
to be able to give the thousands of peo-
pie who attend the Tabernacle meet
ings a printed report of the sermon.
1t does so because the Lowry sermon |
is news, is good news, and, as is |

LITERARY AND DEBATE WORK
j. d. Davis, '13, Explains Status of
Forensic Work at the University.

The history of debate and oratory at
Idaho is very comprehensive as we'll
as significant. The turning of it's
pages reveals the entire history of the
school to surprising degree. In most
institutions members are inclined to
regard the student body organization
as the alpha and omega of all organ
lied activity No doubt a little re-
search some worth while facts. 1t will
at Idaho, at any rate.
The oldest student organization at
Idaho, the oldest literary society of
the state, was organized shortly after
the opening of the institution in the
fall of 1892. On account of there be-
ing no graduating class in the spring
of '93, this society conducted the
closing exercises, on which occasion
Dr.. w. w. Watkins presented the So
ciety with it's first charter This or
ganization was debating society with
lady as president In the following
fall, '93, another debate society was
organized, The Websterian, which was
first boys debating club. Girls
were excluded until 1895. With
scored" talent the society incorporated
more of the nature OF literary So
ciety, having dramatic scenes, music,
defamation and the like on it's pro-
grams.
Following the history of these two
societies we find that much honor for
great amount of high talent was de- |
geloped. The two societies continual |
y kept up a wholesome rivalry which |
stimulated great effort 1t was in these !!
days that such prizes as
The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1912-01-18

the Hepburn Twenty Dollar Cas1
Prize, Ridenbaugh Debate Prize, Voll-
mer Debate Prize, twenty-five dollars
cash, The Dury Cash Prize of twenty
five dollars, the Sweeny Debate Tro-
ply and others, were established
With the burning of the Cad" came
dark ages" for forensics The new
and inadequate quarters were, in addi-
ton to the general slump in spirit re-
sponsible for the natural death and
burial of these organizations which
dated back into the institutions
ancient history.
The year 10000 was marked only
by it's usual intercollegiate debates and
oratorical contests. There were no de-
bate societies. Only the trophy cups
and the charters Of the old Am
phyctious and Websterians remained.
The props organized and carried on
an Alphian Literary society which was
fitting afterlude to the catastrophe
of the tragedy.
The outlook frightened again with
the triumphal entry into our new
"Ad" building. In October 1909, a new
society was organized which was
named after one of Idaho's greatest
debaters, Victor Price Debaters" The
original purpose of this society was to
give training to male college students
along the lines of debate and pal LA
mentary procedure. The society has
been sailing ON both peaceful and
turbulent waters, just avoiding being
stranded once or twice. Now, however,
it is again on blue waters and under
good Roadway.
Oratory, partially controlled by these |
clubs has also had a chequered career
The only oratorical prize now offered |
is the one established by that earliest |
of Idaho forensic supporters, DR.. w.
Watkins. A contest is at present be-
ing planned for this traditional honor.
In general, the situation at Idaho is
very promising. Today instead of a
boys debating club" we have a de-
batting club that includes, literary
work, invites musical talent, enlists
orators, DISCLAIMERS, disputants and
'ven humorists. Besides this society
We have at least eleven student organ
cations whose aim is to develop talent
long lines of public speaking, pre-
iding at public functions and the like;
or example, a lecture before the
hemical club, or debate on methods
# tilling soils, in the agricultural
lub
Again the outlook at Idaho is es-
ecially bright because we need we !,
7ant, we expect, in fact we are prom :
sed man who can devote his time :
, public speaking and debate work
: coach plus an auditorium, neither of :
