PAINLESS PHOTOGRAPHY NOW

LONDON, Nov. 9. - Al last the age of painless photography.
 Instead of tanning your head against the prongs of giant tuning fork and fiercely commanding you to look pleasant, please, the truly up-to-date photographer gives you a comic magazine to read and while you read the photographer works.
 The process is called biofixing Instead of the one photograph illus trating one facial eXpression-more often than not the very one that the person photographed did not mean to wear-the biofiXer shows you an animated being similar to the animated figure on the screen of a bioscope.
 He takes, in fact, hundreds of photographs, which are placed in a small machine, and, on turning the handle, the person biofiXed sees himself as he really is - and not a motionless figure with a smile that nothing can remove.
 As permanent record, for fu- ture use, of people as they were, Say twenty years peioie' IL oiiouiu be of inestimable value. It should seal the doom of the inevitable pho tograph album, which shows father at 21 portrait which father con siders gross libel on him at that age.
 In place of this the visitor will be invited to see the head of the family playing a round of golf or making the speech of his life. Soon one will be able to biofix ones friends. for the syndicate is pre- pairing special camera. It takes ex. ctly twenty minutes to finish the whole process - developing, print ing and setting up in the small circular apparatus which makes the picture animate

A NEW THOUGHT.

The new girl had been but three weeks in the employ of an artistic family. but her time had evidently not been spent exclusively in study ing the domestic arts. As her mis- tress was giving her instructions as to the dinner she said:
 Marie, don't forget the potatoes. :"
 No, ma'am," was the reply: will you have 'em in their jackets or in the nood?"

DON'T ROCK THE BABY.
 SAY THE HIGHBROWS

CHICAGO. Rocking the cradle is responsible for many of the aches and ills of the infantile popu- lati n Of Chicago, according to the health department officials. who be gan today to attempt to do away with il.
 The sixty field nurses employed by the department in the summer to save the babies" have reported a great increase in the practice. in many cases selfrocking cradles be- ing used.
 The best cradle in the world is not good thing for a baby to rest in" said Dr. Caroline Hedger. in charge of the field nurses. The place fer a baby to rest in is in a cot or bed. It should never be lock ed. There is no more reason for tossing baby about in order to rest than there is for swinging about a grown up."

Republican candidate for Congress
who is visiting in Moscow today. The
Weiser Signal has the following to
of Mr. Shawhan:
aside from declaring in favor of the
reelection of Congressman French, the
Signal has not espoused the candidacy
of any other man, but we take pleas
ure in giving space to a statement from
Hon. B. P. Shawhan, which appears in
another column. Senator Shawhan is
a neighbor, his home being in Payette,
and Washington county people not
only have neighborly feeling for him,
but they like the course he has pur-
sued as a public official. In the SEN
ate, where he has served three terms,
he stood for the best in legislation, and
as Carey Act Commissioner he has
done much for the people of the state.
He is progressive and should he go
to congress will stand for the things
most demanded by the people of the
country. Should he get the nominal
ton it will be pleasure for the Signal
to support him"

Miss Florence Zumhoff, Moscow
girl, and graduate of the University
of Idaho, is a candidate for the office
of school superintendent in Shoshone
county. Miss Zumhoff grew to wom-
anhood in Moscow, and no word to her
discredit can be said against her For
years she has taught school. and by
practical experience and by college
training is unusually we'll fitted for the
position to which she aspires. Miss
Zumhoff did not, we are told, wan,
the nomination. But her Shoshone
county friends insisted, and filed her
name over her protest. For three
years Miss Zumhoff has been a te ,che
in Shoshone county, and that is how
it happens that she is now in politics
up there. Laying aside politics, and
this particular office should not be no
litical, the citizens Of Shoshone coun-
ty, with the best interest of their
schools in mind, will make no mis-
take if they take advantage of this
opportunity to place Miss Zumhoif at
the head of their county schools.

evidence of it lies in the fact that since
the Idaho Post, two weeks ago. openly
bolted Taft, the friends of Taft, at
least in south Idaho, have taken no
tice and are today quietly circulating
the report that Congressman French,
through the Idaho Post, his official
organ, is opposing Taft.
And the friends of President Taft
are not going to stand for it. They
are retaliating on Congressman
French They are passing the word
along, and there is being driven from
him support that he may need. 1t may
be but a few votes in each precinct;
a few hundred in each county, and
thousand or two in the state, but that
few may be just enough to defeat
Congressman French for the nonlina-
ton.
While Mr.. French makes bold to say
that he is a progressive, he has Tefus
ed to bolt the republican party and
the facts are that he is in no way re-
sponsible for anything said or done by
the Idaho Post, in which Mr. French
has no interest whatever, and the pol
icy of which Congressman French
ioes not dictate

TUESDAY, JULY %, 1912.
CONGRESSMAN FRENCH AND TAFT

Two weeks ago the Idaho Post came
out and bolted Taft. 1t had right to,
and no one has a right to complain
because even editors are supposed TO
have their rights. If Mr.. Fields be-
lieves, as he probably does, that Roose-
welt is right, and that Taft is wrong,
he has right to follow Roosevelt. He
has a right to join the third party, but
he should at least be fair enough to
discard his pretense of republicanism
But that is his bushes and the Star
Mirror has no desire to even attempt to
dictate
The purpose of mentioning this mat
ter was not with any thought of crit
icising Mr. Fields. We are too busy
with our own business to have care
what he does. But when it develops
that Congressman French, for whom
Mr.. Fields pretends to have so much
concern, is made to- suffer, it is time
for the friends of Burton L. French
to wake up and take notice.
And here is the trouble. There is
an impression throughout the state
that the Idaho Post is the mouthpiece
of Congressman French; that Mr..
French has an interest in the Idaho
Post, and that this paper, published in
Moscow, the home of Congressman
French, voices the sentiments OF Mr..
French. Now there can be no deny
ing the fact that this is true. And the

splendid lunches of grain and grasses
already. The farmers now have a
chance to help make this exhibit one

in the northwest by putting a little
time in selecting samples and deliver
ing them to the club. This kind Of
deal takes time and money, and in
order for the club to make a success
of it they will have to have the snp-
port of the farmer. For further in
formation along this line call on J F.

THB Democratic national conven-
ton Of 1912 returns to the city
where the FIRST national conven-
tion of that party assembled
eighty years ago. Up to and includ-
ing 1924 presidential nominations were
made by committees OF congress. In
that year the system was attacked,
and between that and 1923 various
conventions were held in different parts
Of the country. but no Democratic ma
tional convention, properly speaking,
was assembled till 1882. That year
one gathered at Baltimore and nomi-
mated President Andrew Jackson for a
second term.
The convention which named Martin
Van Buren as Jacksons successor also
met In Baltimore, but was year
ahead Of time, being held In 1885. The
four succeeding national conventions
Of the party were likewise held In the
Maryland metropolis OF 1910 re-
nominating Van Buren,. that Of 1874
naming James X. Polk. that Of 1S4S
selecting Lewis Cass and that Of 1852
choosing Franklin Pierce. Thus far
Baltimore as a Democratic convention
city was lucky, four Of the Eve candi-
dates named there having been elected
With 1859. however; the scepter and
the luck departed from Baltimore.
-Four years later Buchanan was noml-
mated at Cincinnati. In 1860 the Dem
ocratlc convention lrst met at Charles
ton and split into fragments, two OF
these afterward reassembllng In Balti-
more and naming two tickets. one
headed by Stephen A. Douglas and the
other by John c. Breckinrldge, A
third, fragment reconvened at Rich.

BIG ONES IN LIMELIGHT AT BALTIMORE

Of either Of the great parties Is one
never to be forgotten. 1t Is distinctive
" American. There Is nothing quite
like 1t in all the rest Of the world.
Here we make our rulers, who for
certain fixed period have more abso-
lutte power than any monarch unless 1t
be the czar of all the Russlas Here
we shape the policies that control con-
gress. Here we reorganize the parties
that rule the states.
The prevailing color scheme Of any
national convention Is made up Of the
red, white and blue. Flags and blnt'
ing are everywhere. The tone theme
is one Of patriotic music oratory and
enthusiasm. The contest between the
supporters Of the various candidates is
one of lung power That, of course, is
only the surface Of the fight, but 1t is
the surface that is seen by the specta-
tor. Down on the floor the delegates
are not doing so much cheering, but
are engaged in mighty struggle for
votes. But to the onloOker 1t is med
ley of color and of sound. The demon
stratlon when the different candidates
are named Is contest Of sheer human
endurance The partlsans cheer till
they are compelled to stop from phys
Ical exhaustion. Little flags are waved
by thousands of hands. Cheers go up
in a volume Of sound that browns the
band and merges the Individual voices
into one continuous roar,
Cheering by the Hour.
Now and then will come lull when
the band can be heard family on some
patriotic air, First one voice and then
another will take 1t up until the entire
vast assemblage Is singing At the
end the cheers burst forth once more
in mightier volume than at first. Min
utes pass, and the uproar continues.
ImprOvised sessions Of delegates march
about the floor Everything that can
make a noise is brought into requsi-
tlon, but the human voice dominates
all the rest. 1t howls. 1t yells, 1t let's
out Indian warwhoops, It trills, 1t yo-
dels, 1t hurrahs, after which 1t yells
some more. Some of these demonstra-
tlons have lasted an hour. Several Of
them have continued half an hour.
The scene in the various hotels is as
characteristic as that Of the convention
hall itself. Here the various candi-
dates and state delegations have their
headquarters, Here are held the eau
