several out of town guests also being
persent among whom were Mrs R.

THAT PAINTING CONTRACT

Last week we drew attention to the
fact that a Nampa man had received
the contract for painting the court
house at price that appeared to be
in excess of other bidders. This week
one Of the commissioners took jaunt
in his auto carrying the painter around
to visit the bridges Of the county. The
commissioners have had some discus
sion regarding the painting OF the
bridges and it would perhaps be a
good idea for the people to closely ex-
anime into painting contracts-pres-
ent and future.
The Tribune is informed that the
paint used on the roof of the court
house is coal tar product, whereas
mineral ground in pure linseed oil is
specified. The Tribune is not fully
informed regarding the contract but
will endeavor to have full particulars
next week.

F. M. Roseman and two elder sons
were visitors at the Junction city last
Tuesday While there they attended
the local dairy meeting under the au-
spices of the Nampa Cooperative
Creamery Co. On the return trip a
stop was made at the Hubert Hol-
stein-Friesian stock farm on the out
skirts of that thriving town. Mr.. HUI
bert is milking herd of twenty Hob
stems, most Of which are pure bred.
The average number of pounds Of
milk per day for each COW will run
between so and so pounds, while the
pound for seven days. A large barn
with commodious hay now, concrete
floors, cutters. feeding throughs, feed
ways and individual stanchion stalls,
twin silos, each of 100 ton capacity,
concrete watering tanks, power pump
and milk house, with 100 pound cream
separator, bottling machine and bot
tie washer, completes the equipment
for the proper operation of one OF
the best dairies in the state of Idaho
All machinery is run by gas or cleo

cling amount of luscious Strawberries
and thick cream were produced. Al
late hour the company broke up
voting the affair jolly success.
How about that neighborhood so
cial. The powers that be should be-
gin to consider the feasibility of sucf
gathering. Probably strawberrie:
and cream would taste good to all o.

WORKING UNDER DIFFICULT
TIES

The Tribune has been working I'M
der difficulties during the extensive
remodeling of its plant and building.
It was found necessary on account
of increased work to extend the build
ing back 100 feet. A new roof spotted
here and there with the latest i'm
proved skylights insures the best pos
sible light that the Tribune quality
may be maintained in all work.
A Miehle press has been installed
and other machinery is on the way.
All this has been going on while The
Tribune force pursued the uneven
tenor of their way. The result is that
we are somewhat disorganized and
have to beg our readres to bear yet
q while with US.

ATHLETICS IN SCHOOLS

A South Dakota exchange notes
that at the coming close of its local
high school year, medals will be pre-
scented for success in athletics. While
this is an idea that may seem eccen-
trio to the older educators, it repre-
sents growing tendency to recog-
nize athletics as a part of high school
work.
1t OF course remains absurd that in
the colleges a substitute player on a
foot bali team gets about as much
newspaper space. as the valedictorian
of his class. Still the fact remains
that in the secondary schools where
athletics are closely regulated, they
have an exceedingly benhcial effect.
The boy who can keep his temper
when the umpire calls ball a strike,
who can play for his team score rath-
er than his own batting average. has
acquired self control and a capacity
for cooperative effort that may be
worth quite as much as a familiarity
with the battles of Julius Caesar.

THE OBSERVATORY

The more attention is directed to
the work of the last legislature of our
state the stranger it seems that a body
which had its quota of lawyers could
have allowed SO much loose legisla-
ton. l should have supposed that
some lawyer would have read each
bill; not any one person each bill; but
each bill by some lawyer, and | should
have supposed that each important bill
would have been read by some one
with an ambition to make record, or
from conscientious desire to be
thorough in legislation. There was a
great deal of slip-shod action by the
law making body. Witness the &C
ton in Withholding an appropriation
for the salary of the immigration
Commissioner, which the courts
quickly showed could not prevent his
drawing salary as he was an elected
officer; and then the educational bill
one of the most important ever passed
by an Idaho legislature; and yet it had
almost no discussion and was allowed
to go through providing for a state
commissioner of education, when the
constitution requires the election OF q
state superintendent, which Office is
now filled by as able woman as car
be found, if any one may judge by the
testimonials as to her ability which
hear from educators both within anc
| without the state. And now l hear
the new board of education is laborins

cation under the caption New ldano
Legislation" he says editorially:
"The legislature of Idaho has passed
most far-reaching educational bill.
It creates a state board of education
with almost limitless powers, and
looks like a politically focused board.
Presumably they know what they are
doing in Idaho. but to an outsider
who has watched educational legisla-
ton for many years the bill to have a
lot of jokers in it. In any state in the
Middle West or the East such bill
would be liable to be supemely mis-
chievous. but we have too much faith
in the school men of Idaho and too
much confidence in their legislative
influence to think it possible that the
bill could have been passed If It is to
be used, as it may well be used, for in
terminable mischief. 1t appears to
play into the hands of skilful mischief
makers, political and otherwise at
every turn But we refuse to believe
that it will be allowed to do the harm
it provides for. Time alone can tell.
1t will be closely watched by educa-
tional leaders, and if it is allowed to
do a fractional part of the harm it
makes possible Idaho will have .
worse disaster in 1918 than tornado
or food ever brought to state. Let's
hope that Idaho has not been buncoed
by any one. We cannot, we will not
believe that she has been, but it has
most suspicious look, and the working
thereof should be carefully watched
by all friends of education in Idaho.
A governor appointed board with
limitless power, any members OF
which may be removed for political or
personal reasons at any time by
two thirds vote of the state senate,
has surely more possibility of evil
than has ever been provided for in any
other state"
Idaho's schools and their manage
ment have had an enviable reputation
in the nation and it is devoutly hoped
that the new departure will not mar
the work.
The Balkan war was so swift, and
the success of the allies SO great and
then the peace settlement SO long
drawn out, that the vast and far

signing of the peace May 80, the Turk

no one. But now the question arises
what will the "unspeakable Turk" do
to the long suffering Armenian? There
is much searching of heart by that
race. If the Christian nations could
treat the Turk as our country have the
red men-make a reservation some
where in Asia and confine the Otto
man there, the on-looking world

UphoIds Red FLAG.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
CHICAGO, July 19.-Socialists at
national headquarters declared to-
night they do not regard the action of
the United States navy enlisted men
in mobbing the socialist headquarters
at Seattle, as an expression of hos
tility against them. George Skoops,
spokesman said: THE sailors were
simply engaged in naval repisal. They
avenged their comrades but in so do
ing they made mistake and attacked
our headquarters. Socialists have no
enmity for soldiers and sailors. They
recognize the men of the army and
navy are working men and the aim of
the social movement is to improve the
conditions of all workers. Many sol
diers and sailors are socialists. But the
red flag of socialism has as much
right to fly alongside the American
flag as has the green flag Of Ireland.
No one ever heard of sailors attacking
an Irish club or German club for dis
playing their flag"
