TO run across the street in front of the
auto and before the driver of the car
could stop tho machine it was upon
the youngster.. Witnesses Of the. ac'
cident say Mcintyre was not to blame.
The latter called az the police station
last night but no charge was preferred
against him.

CITY AND COUNTRY.

II HE theory that the teaching in rural schools
i drives young men from the country to the
city is advanced by two members of the faculty
OF the Western Kentucky state normal school They
declare that the courses Of study pursued by the
country child are merely copy of those given chill
dren in the city without reference TO the different
environment and local needs of the pupils IN the
rural districts.
The Kentuckians say that teachers everywhere
have idealzed city life and unwittingly have been
potent factors in inducing young men and women
10 leave the farm and move to the city. They
think that rural life should be dealized. 1t is said
10 be different in Canada where as result OF the
teaching in the schools the average yield of wheat
has been increased five bushels to the acre during
the last FIVE years. The Kentuckians figure that
an enormous increase could be made in the wealth
Of their state if such teaching as that praotieed
in Canada we're pursued.
No doubt more could be done in the schools to
educate the Young as TO the real value of country
life. but the city offers bigger opportunities for
the restless energy and nervousness OF Young
America today or at least Young America thinks
if does. and the teaching of parents who urged
their children TO seek their fortunes IN city,
teaching that was followed for years cannot be
counteracted in short time

THE DUPONT INQUIRY.

CATION of the elections in Delaware as they affect
the right of Senator dupont to his seat
1t is gratifying to know that the chairman OF
the Republican State Committee and presumably
Senator dupont himself-as he has denounced the
charges OF Senator Reed as absolutely false
will court an investigation of all methods employ
ed during the campaign of 1910.
The general charge has been made by Mr.. Sauls-
bury that the methods of that campaign we're as bad
as those which he asserts we're employed during the
Addicks deys. The inquiry proposed by Senator
Reed should do much to clear the political atmos-
phere and the Republican leaders of the state
should prepare to have their side Of the matter

FRENCH LEAVES
WITHOUT GIVING
ANY STATEMENT
go
Declines to Commit Himself
Further on the Senator
ship Than in Interview
Previously Given.

CONGRESSMAN Burton L. French LETT
Boise last evening on his return to-
Moscow, from which place he will leave
this week for Washington to take up
his duties. Congressman French left
without giving the satisfaction to the
numerous candidates for United states
senator that they had hoped to receive
from his visit. 1t became known that
former Governor Gooding. former Gov
ernor Brady and Judge Ailshie were al
different times in consultation with
Representative French and 1t Is taken
for granted that each did his best TO
ascertain the intentions of Mr.. French
both as to their own candidacy and as
to his own possible candidacy for the
vacancy caused by the death OF Wei
don b. Hepburn.
From reports among the friends OF
the candidates they learned just about
as much from their interviews as they
knew before and that is that Con-
gressman French may or may not be
candidate for the position. In other
words, Mr. French has declined to
make a definite statement of his posi-
ton. The only authorized announce
p1ent made by him during his visit
was made to the Capital News. In
that statement he declared that he
would appreciate an election at the
hands of the legislature; that he Is
not inappreciable of the request OF
many friends that he become a candi-
date and that he is not insensible of
the duty imposed upon him to fulfill
the commission just given him by the
people in a flattering majority vote.
to serve the state another two years
as representative in congress On this
point, the only declaration secured
from Mr.. French was the following:
II could not be unappreciative OF
the honor of an election by the legis-
lature to this position, but at the
same time l am not unmindful of the
honor done me by the people Of the
state in my reelection as representa-
tive in congress cannot lightly
throw aside this commission just
given me almost before the commits
sion itself can be issued and l am not
prepared to do so, but on the other
hand, 1 cannot fail to appreciate the
request made to me by many friends
throughout the state that my name be
considered in connection with the SEN
atorship. On this latter question
prefer to make no statement thai
would be final at this time"
The one point upon which Repre-
sentative French was most emphatic
was that the election of this short tern
senator should in no manner be per.
mitted to embarrass or compromise the
pledge of the legislature to re-elec
Senator Borah for the full term of 81,
years.

JOHN PETERSON WILL
Be Sent TO ASYLUM

At last the officers have solved the
puzzle about what to do with old John
Peterson, who has travelled from the
probate court to the poor farm and
back again during the last few days.
Judge Dunbar yesterday held an ex-
animation and ordered the old man
committed to Blackfoot after both DR..
NJ H. Tallman, the county physician,
and DR.. Lyman had declared him in
sane.
Peterson was first arrested some time
ago on the charge of larceny and was
sent back to the poor farm because of
sympathy for his condition and the
fact that he thought he would be able
to get along all right If he We're given
a chance to get back to the farm. He
became dissatisfied with the conditions
there, however, and made his way back
to town.
Ed Evans, the superintendent. has
had some trouble with him and believes
that his mental condition is such that
he would not be safe at the farm After
the examination, the court decided tc
send him to Blackfoot.
Judge. Dunbar also committed George
Edward Peed to the asylum after the
physicians had examined him ant
declared him mentally unbalanced.
