Non-Partisan Question.

Banking reform has been delayed for
years. It has been our misfortune in
this country that problems relating to
banking and currency have been made
the foot ball Of party politics. The fight
for sound money was a bitter partisan
struggle. The fight was won because the
wage-earners and wage-payers of the
country, realizing the vital Importance of
squaring our money standard with that
Of the rest OF the world, stood together
for the gold standard. Now that we have
sound money, 1t is just as essential that
We have sound credit. / believe that we
can provide a sound credit system with
out letting the discussion get into partisan
politics. The nationwide discussion of
the need Of banking and currency reform
Is a most encouraging indication that the
people OF this country are more and more
coming to believe that legislation affect
ing business should be discussed in a
business-like way.
Certain basic principles must under
lie any plan for reforming our banking
and currency system The first principe
is cooperation. In the panic Of 1907
the 1900 banks al fought against each
other, each trying to save itself In the
storm This Is just the reverse Of what
they ought to do. Our banking system
should be SO regulated that in a time of
financial distress or industrial depression
all of the banks Of the country will unit
Tor the common SOOO. II Is therefore
proposed that the banks form a co-opera-
tive association. We need system
whereby a sound bank can always use
it's sound assets to provide itself with
currency. We should have an associa-
ton Of all the banks that will stand
ready at all times to rediscount for the
banks their good commercial paper
based on the legitimate day-to-day
business Of the country.
Idle Funds Drift to Wall Street.
One of the worst faults of our Amer
lean banking system is that we have
neglected to develop a market for COM
mercial paper. After every harvest q
great flood of money pours into the
banks and finds its way to New York
where now the final banking reserves
Of the nation are held. The New York
bankers must put this money at work
They must put it where it can be re-
called on short notice. when it is agair
needed by the rest of the country. The
only big call loan market New Yorl
bankers have for lending money Is thu

Fair Weather Banking System.

| We have q fair weather banking sys-
tenn. 1t works all right in good times.
but it breaks down just at the time when
it Is most needed-in a period of financial
distress. We need only go back to 1907
for striking example of the weakness
of our banking system. The country was
prosperous in that year; We had had, in
fact, nearly a decade Of the most wonder
full commercial prosperity ever seen in
the world. But in the course of few
days in the fall of that year the whole
commerce of the country was turned up
side down. with enormous losses to all
classes of people. and especially to the
millions of working people. because the
banking system broke down. It Is hui
initiating fact that this Is the only great
commercial nation In the world in which
such thing could happen. That panics
will continue to occur in this country so
long as we refuse to reform our banking
system is not to be questioned. The
older countries Of Europe have insured
themselves against money panics; we can
do the same.
The reform Of our panic-breeding bank
ing system is surely not a question that
should enter into party politics. The
question is now before Congress. It Is
the duty Of Congress to discuss this re-
form without passion and without preju-
dice, and 1t is the duty Of every patriotic
citizen to inform himself as to the merits
of the proposed legislation.

lanes Boone's Party.

One of the most enjoyable parties
of the season was given Wednesday
evening in honor of the coming OF
age of one of our popular young men,
James Boone.
The Boone home was converted into
typical college apartments. each
room having pennafts, and banners
of different colleges. For entertain
ment, the young people were each
given a tiny pennant of the college
they were to represent, which added
zest to the various field meets enter
ed into.
The dining room was decorated
very ittingly with the colors and
pennants Of the College of Idaho, the
table centerpiece being a beautiful
cyclamen. The place cards were
painted by Miss Rae Olmstead and
represented different stages in the
life history. of Mr.. Boone, much to
the merriment of the guests.
"A delicious four-course luncheon
was served after which round OF the
college songs were sung.
With the eception of Miss Fordyce
and Mr.. Mckee, MI. Price and Miss
Olmstead, the guests were classmates
of Mr.. Boone.

clared that in q dream the words
"Idaho's Ideal" had appeared to him.
They seemed euphonious and he
thought they could be used in connec-
ton with almost any of the products
Of Caldwell, especially the big red

with avidity after Mr.. Crihiths had
explained the meaning of the word
"euphonious" to the satisfaction Of
several of his admirers
Conventions to be Held Here.
Mr.. A. E. Cipson spoke of the COM
ing conventions of the State Dairy
Association and the State Swine
Breeders Association, which are to
be held here January End, 3rd, and
9TH, and asked that the club make ar
rangements to assist in properly en-
tertaining the visitors that will flock
to the city. T. S. Jackson was ap-
pointed a committee of one to perfect
arrangements for meeting place and
entertainment.
Stock Yard improvements.
Mr.. Crifhths brought up the matter
OF the installation of railroad scales
in the stock yards. It appears that
some time ago scales were procured
and brought to the city but for some
reason they have never been placed
in position at the yards. This brought
up the need of we'll for the yards.
At present there is no water at the
yards and stock has to 60 for one and
two days without water, which mill
tates against feeding. It was suggest
ed that the railroad would remedy
this 1t the matter was brought to their
attention.
Caldwell is rapidly growing in i'm
portance as feeding point and the
facilities of the present yards have
become seriously cramped. In addi-
ton to this, in the future Caldwell will
figure largely as a wholesale horse
market. The secretary was instruct
ed to take these matters up with the
Short Line at once.
The members of the club were
urged to get as many citizens to meet
the excursion party on the Interurban
today at 1880. and make their short
stay enjoyable.
The next meeting being the one at
which the annual election of officers
takes place, all were asked to be pre-
sent and help take care of the smokes
and feed.

The first cause coming to the at

women was decided at Twin Falls
this week In the probate court. The
case was that against Mrs. f. Botes

Mr.. A. ]. Vanguard. The verdict
returned was guilty a. charged"
According to the evidence as pub
lished In the Twin Falls newspapers,
Mrs. Botes struck the complaining
witness with a heavy six-shooter.
Mr.. Vanguard had leased the Botes
house from Mrs. Botes. When he
went to the place for the purpose of
making preparations to move in he
was ordered to leave the premises.
He refused to do this with the re-
suit that the attack was made. The
jurors were prominent society wo-
men of Twin Falls. and their YER
dict seems to have met with the
approval Of the public generally.
It IL stated that the experiment was
such a success that the authorities
there are thinking of using women

Washington, March 23.-Rev. W. H.
Greever, Of Columbia, S. c., editor of
the Lutheran Visitor, has not aban-
doned hope of finding his wife, Mrs.
Roberta Greever, who disappeared
from this city six weeks ago. The
minister was here tonight on his way
to Shenandoah Junction, West Va,
where his wife is reported to have
been seen ten days after she disap-
peared.
Information received by him was
that a/woman answering the descrip-
ton of Mrs. Greever boarded train
at Shenandoah Junction February 27.
She is reported to have told the ticket
agent that she had been visiting
friends near the railroad junction and
that she was going to Cleveland, Ohio.
A brother of Mrs. Greever went to
Cleveland, but was unable to locate
her. Several times since his wife left
her nurse here On February II, her
husband has Travelled long distances
following clues but all have proved
futile. He still believes he will find
her alive.

MAINE MARTYRS SLEEP.
Remains of Sixty-Seven Sailors Laid
to Rest in ArIingtOn-Taft Speaks
Their Virtues.

Washington, March 23.-Under
dripping skies the last of the heroes
of the battleship Maine were laid to
rest today in the nations sacred spot,
Arlington cemetery. Thirty-four cas-
kets were inferred. These, however,
contained the bones of 81 victims of
the explosion IA years ago in Habana
harbor, the identity of whom could not
be discovered. The capital of the
nation today shed ali worldly care and
work and joined in honoring their
memory.
President Taft and his cabinet, both
houses of congress and all the other
officials of the government set aside
the day as one in which to do homage
to the dead. Although the rain began
to fall early in the afternoon, Presi-
dent Taft and his encourage made
their way to the cemetery and remain
ed, bareheaded, in the downpour until
the last coffin had been lowered. The
solemnity of the moment impressed
itself on every one.
Before the services at the graves a
solemn service was held at the south
front of the state, war and navy
building. This was attended by the
president and vice president, Chief
Justice White and his associates of
the supreme court, many members OF
congress and army and navy officers.

And, by Jove, he turned pale! Any
how, he looked deyilish queer as he
put his hands down on the table and
bent to whisper:
''Mr. Lightnut, sir" And the way
he dropped his voice and turned his
head to peer around into the corners
was just creepy! That's what, creepy!
This, with the glow from the green
lampshade on his pale face as he
leaned across the table-oh, it was
something ghastly-awful, you know!
It got on my nerves, and I could feel
the hair slowly rising on each side OF
my part. He bent close, whispering
behind lis hand, and knew he had
