SMITH EMINENTLY QUALIFIED

Hon. J. M. Sooup, of Boise, former
United States marshal of Alaska, in
commenting upon the candidacy OF
Addison 4. Smith for representative
in congress on the Republican ticket
said:
Il have known Addison T. Smith
intimately for fifteen years, and have
been with him great deal in Wash
ington during sessions of congress
while he was secretary to Senators
Shoup and Hepburn. l have called
with him at the White House or
Presidents Mckinley, Roosevelt and
Taft, to all OF whom he was well
known, and also on various cabinet
officers and the heads of bureaus. He
is one of the best posted men in the
country in regard to national affairs
and his wide acquaintance with
senators and representatives, as well
as with the legislative procedure and
departmental methods peculiarly
qualify him to represent the people.
He is an upright, honorable and court
eous gentleman, and one of the most
Industrious officials l have ever
known. Because he is so eminently
qualified to represent Idaho in con-
gress urged him to become can
didate for the nomination and sup
ported him i'll the primaries. In my
opinion he can do more for the state
and country during his first term
than stranger in Washington could
accomplish after several years of ser
vice, no matter how well qualified for
the place. know his views in re-
gard to national politics and although
am strong supporter of Colonel
,oosevelt, | have no hesitation in
supporting him for congress; being
.ully convinced that the people OF
IDAHO will find that no mistake has
been made in the wisdom of their
choice after he has had the oppor-
tunity of demonstrating what he can
accomplish as their representative.
The state is fortunate in having a
candidate for congress so well equip
ped for this important Office. '-Poca-

CORNERSTONE
Laid AT PAYE17E

Last Friday a party of 40 from the
Masonic lodge of this city, represent
atives of the Commercial club and
county candidates, journeyed to Pey-
cite to attend the street carnival and
assist in the services, attending the
laying of the cornerstone of the new
municipal building.
After short inspection of the fine
exhibits, horticultural, agricultural
and domestic, the visiting Masons
were entertained at luncheon by the
ladies of the Eastern Star.
200 strong, the men marched from
the Masonic hall to the splendid new
building, headed by the Payette band.
Deputy Grand Master Curtis Pike
presided over the impressive Masonic
ceremonies and Mr.. P. Monroe Smock
was the orator of the day. Mr.. Smock
was listened to with attention. He
briefly reviewed Payette's history and
then launched into the future in glow
ing style. A very excellent quartette
lent added pleasure to the exercises.
In the afternoon the county candi-
dates lined up against each other in a
game of ball on the new high school
grounds, Democrats and Republicans
fighting to death-or nearly. The
game was hotly contested throughout,
the big end of the score, however, be-
ing found in favor of the Republican
cohorts at the finish. Mr.. Cakes privat-
ely assured US that he played the star
game-fnally succeeded in convinc-
ing. After congratulating him we
were huttonholed by A. O. Christie
pher. Mr.. Christopher pointed out
the finer lines Of the game and coach
ed us until we saw our error in imag-
ming anyone played such fine game
- the county assessor. As we walked
away Judge Henry casually Joined US
and il few moments it became clear
that We had been decieved-Judge
Henry was the star performer. After

others were through with us, we de-
cided that we didn't know good
Game Of ball when we saw it, and
handed the laurels to Judge Harger.
Judge Harger wasn't in the game, but
1t he had been we are certain that he
would easily have overshadowed all
the other candidates--and can safely
defy anyone to prove differently.
u a number Of Masons from Nampa
and Boise were present, and all en-
joyed the excellent hospitality of the
citizens Of Payette. as we'll as the fine
exhibits. Among the school exhibits
was seen one from the new Community
school, which Prof. and Mrs. French
recently took in charge. In the exhib-
4 was a Wolf River apple measuring
IN inches in circumference and
weighing 1871 ounces.

OBSERVATIONS.

My remarks about women's fashion!
two weeks ago has caused some com
ment; and my attention has been cal.
led to take action by the Kansas Cit,
committee Of the Women's Christian
Union regargind the subject. They
say OF some hair worn on women's
heads that you can tell at once that
II was picked from a counter" they
condemn decollete gowns, and tight
ana short skirts. suggestive and vul-
gar" high heel shoes that main their
wearers for life" and rouged cheeks
that make their owners look like a
weak imitation of a circus clown"
and in general declared for modera-
ton in dress as in all things.
have also been shown an article
in the Sunday School Times for Sep
tember 4, in which Eugene c. Fos-
Ter, City Secretary for Boys in the
Detroit Y. M. c. A., writes regarding
The Girl Part of the Boy Problem"
and speaks in plain true language. He
claims, what is undobedly true, that
too many good women do not under
stand male nature; they are pure, mo-
est and serenely virtious, and sim
ply do not imagine one prominent
feature OF human nature reposing in
some. perhaps might say, many men.
ne says that man of considerable
knowledge of the world happened TO
speak of certain resort as "low" in
the presence of Circuit Court Judge.
when the latter replied, "You are
wrong: The women who go there, 60
with their husbands, and are the re-
spectacle matrons of the community.
You fail to make allowance for the
present immodesty in women's dress;
an inmodesty which causes me to be
ashamed to meet some of my most re-
spected women acquaintance on the
streets of our city"
"Unhappily the Judge was right, and
right here is the crux of the difficulty
II only immodest women and girls
dressed in vulgar fashion, the line
would be sharply drawn. But this
immodest dress prevails among all
classes. Those of us who give our
lives to boys find no harder task than
to help the boy in his battle to keep
pure.
Il do not write as a fashion critic: I
write as man who daily faces the
moral issues raised by these things.
But want to be specific. There are
prevailing styles of dress which are
Extensively immodest. Among these
are: the tight-ftting waist; the peek
a-boo" waist, in its really offensive
forms, "a common object OF jest, while
it goes on sowing seed for unhallowed
harvest); some styles of low-neck and
short sleeves which many girls affect;
many forms of tight-6tting skirts;
skirts Extensively short, certain types
of hosiery. The list might easily be
made longer; it is merely used by way
OF illustration"
Our noble women in various or
CARNATIONS are making a loud appeal
against the libertine among men, and
they are not saying too much or say
ing it too strongly; but from a some
what extensive knowledge of the
world. where have been obliged to
mingle with all classes, l am quite
sure Mr.. Foster has not spoken too
strongly or too soon on this delicate
but important subject.

CHINESE EXCLUSION.
LAW SAID TO BE WEAK

Chlnese exclusion law fails to ac-
complish it's avowed purposes has
been pointed out in the report of the
commissioner of the bureau Of i'm
migration for the fiscal year 1911,
which has just been male public. The
report states that the methods
adopted to violate the law were so
extensive and complicated as to
beggar description. 1t is stated that
one of the principal difficulties con-
sists of properly guarding the Cana
dian and Mexican BOUNDARIES. It
is claimed that unless the exclusion
law is: strengthened, the next decade
will witness the entering to the

Vancouver. The Times-Star lis. taxed

bank stock on hand and similar
! property that happens t0 be lying
around. Mr.: Taft owns quite a num-
Der of fine buildings, as we'll as 5eity
lots and stock in monopolistic fran
chise holding corporations. He pays
taxes on these buildings now and is
certainly not so stupid orr forgetful
i as to be unaware Of it. 1t the Van
couver method were in force In Gin
cinnati the Times-Star's machinery
and other personal property and all
improvements owned by Mr. Taft
would be exempt. There would be
higher taxes on Mr.. Taft's lots and
on the franchise of the monopolistic
corporations in which he is so heavy
stockholder. Mr.. Taft would find
considerable difference if Cincinnati
were to adopt 'Vancouver's methods
If Mr.. Taft actually believed that
cincinnati has as much single tax as
vancouver, he would naturally view
with indifference any possibility Of
Cincinnati adopting the Vancouver
system. The Times-Star would raise
no objection to the adoption of a
constitutional amendment that would
give Cincinnati the same freedom in
local affairs that Vancouver. enjoys
If the taxation clause Of the Ohio
Constitution should be changed suf-
ficlently to put into effect in every
city a literal copy Of Vancouver's
tax measure there would be no pro-
test from Mr.. Taft or his paper. But
Mr.. Taft and his newspaper writer's
know better. They will certainly be
put to test before many years.
Ohio is rapidly shelving the re-
dictionary plutocratic leaders who
have so long dominated it's politics in
the interest of predatory monopolies.

being showed aside by progressive Re-
publ1cans, just as the Harmons and
McLeans are by progressive Demo-
Gratis These progressives will see
that the cities of the State are given
at least as much freedom to manage
their local affairs as the cities of
Canada. That will make it possible
Tor Cincinnati to follow Vancouver's
example. When that time comes
there will be splendid opportunity

much single tax in Cincinnati in the
