LET US HAVE FAIR PLAY.

The Idaho Daily Statesman in it's columns this morn
ing has attempted to avoid the article published in it's
columns of the day before by statements which not
borne out by the undisclosed facts.
In publishing the Associated Press dispatch of De-
cember 10 the Statesman suppressed portion of it which
would have disclosed attitude the part of Theodore
Roosevelt consistent with his former utterances and it
this that the Capital News suppressed the
tire dispatch in the light of the law which the supreme
court has laid down. That criticisms of the court pending
cause which have for their purpose the influencing of
the in the matter pending which tend to impede
obstruct Justice which cast reflections upon the
duct of the court which attack them personally in their
character judges OF such court contempt of such
court.
There is criminal cause pending in the supreme court
OF the state OF Idaho, undetermined and in which three
citizens of the state of Idaho have been placed in jeopardy
of their freedom and of their property.
We charge the Statesman with deliberately and maic-
iousy attempting to influence the supreme court in
criminal cause pending before it
We charge the Statesman with premeditated attempt
to prejudice the rights of the defendants before the court
and that the said articles published in the Statesman in
face of the holding of the supreme court published
with the purpose of melting the resentment of said
them.
We charge the Statesman with reiterating and crcu
latng matters which, in pending cause, the supreme
court has already declared to be contempt of it's pre-
negatives and the dignity of its individual members.
We appeal to the and to the people of the state
OF Idaho for impartiality.

AIDING RURAL COMMUNITIES.

All the United States there be evident
general movement toward the beement of the farming
districts This has been promoted doubtless by the in
creased cost OF producing and distributing food products
which has emphasized the need for modern agrcu
tural systems, especially of education and finance
Early this fall the question of rural work was
taken up by the state board of public affairs at Madison
Wis The board cooperating with the university found
that practical instruction and training in agriculture
among the general wants In Indiana the scope of agr
cultural extension work by Purdue university is doing
much to eliminate poor farming and to improve what
accepted as satisfactory methods.

for development But the other and greater side of farm

city and the home.-when they heard
the news.
Were they delighted to hear that
this woman was going to give UP a
professional career for the greater pro-
fession of home making?
On the contrary. almost without ex-
ception they figuratively threw up
their hands in horror.
ITO think of her giving up that
splendid salary"
"And she had such fine prospects"
II would certainly have expected
more Of her"
Such were the comments that th4s
news brought forth.
Again in the matter Of race sui
eide! Surely you have noticed in your
own circle of acquaintances how often
the prospective grandmother is dis
turbed instead of pleased when her
daughter promises her another grand
child.
Theoretically the older generation
believed in large families; actually it
seems as If their own experience with
the hardships and broken health that
a baby every year or two meant, has
made them far more keen on small
families than their daughters. II the
truth were known, think we should
find that again and again it is the
mother Of the young married woman
who advises her most strongly against
immediate motherhood.
Perhaps after all there isn't such a
very wide gap between these two
generations of women, as some folks
would have us believe
Perhaps after all they are both just
human beings with human desires for
happiness and tendency to search
for 1t in whatever happens to be the
present path of least resistance

Peace on earth, good will towards

there are very few who have ever
realized all the Joy Of that message.
With the great desire to make pres

times OF the above and make this a

and its influence will be felt by all

equal to that Of thought and love. Try

@NE of the favorite themes Of
those backward philosophers
who seem to take delight in
nj thinking that the past was by
far better than the present,
and that the world is steadily running
down, Is to compare the young women
of today most unfavorably with their
mothers. One of the indictments
against the women of today is that SO
many Of them prefer a professional or
business life to marriage
Another Is that even when they do
marry they seldom have as large fam
lilies as their mothers.
Still another is their eagerness for
higher education and for interests
outside the home
Now as to whether all these things
are really bad, or as to whether they
are wholly the fault of those against
whom they are charged, am not GO
ing to argue. The point I want to
bring out Is this,-why should the
mothers be praised and the daughters
disparaged when in nine cases out Of
ten the older generation heartily ap-
proves Of the attitude of the new?
For 1t does. And in many cases
the mothers are even more strenuous
about 1t than their own daughters
A young professional woman who
has made a great success in her work
recently announced her engagement to
a young business man who is probably
making less money than she. She is
going to give up her work when they
are married. which will probably be
