Children's Features.

Our Chautauqua ought to provide
entertainment for the youngsters. Our
Chautauqua this summer will have
for one of the big features that IN
terest children, Harrell, the Boston
Magician. Boys and girls attending
the Chautauqua will want to get up
close on the front seat where they can
see the marvellous tricks which Mr.
Harrell performs and see if they can
discover how they are performed.
There are magicians and magicians,
but Harrel off Boston is noted the
country over as one of the best that
America has yet produced Not only
the common feats Of magic are per-
formed, but many new and wonderful
ones such as have never been seen in
the west before.
One point must be observed the
night that Harrell comes, that is, the
grown folks take the back seats and
let the little folks get in front, as
they can see over the younger peo-
pies heads while the youngsters
can't see if the larger people are in
front of them.

Many Queens Instead of One.

CLEVELAND, May 24.-The city
fathers Of Cleveland today proved
themselves every whit as wise as old
King Solomon when that aged and
much be-wived worthy hit in the hap
by plan of deciding who was the
child's mother" by offering one half
to each plaintiff Cleveland today Gel
ebrated annual May day with folk
dancing, doll parades and the crown
ing of the "prettiest and lovliest girl"
as queen. At least there was one
"prettiest and lovliest" crowned last
year. There was lot of jealousy
and remarks of ugly thing" shipper
ing cat" and the like about the
queen" chosen, by parents of elig
ible candidates for that coveted job.
This year, according to plan, there
were queens" and not queen" sell
ected. Every little girl, no matter how
red headed or freckled, who entered
as candidate for queen was crown
ed-and everyone was happy.

SATURDAY, MAY "a, 1918.
AN EPIDEMIC OF VIOLENCE.

A wave of crime appears to be
sweeping over the country. Murder
and suicide, suicide and murder. The
divorced husband shoots his wife. =
The mother kills her children and
herself" Lover kills his finance
So it goes column after column until
one wonders what is the matter with
the world
We would be glad to lay it on to the
unrestricted immigration, but there is
nothing to such contention. The
Japs and Chinese are mainly peace
able and an occasional tong war is
all we see of the yellow peril along
that line. Nor is it the people from
southern Europe. For every unpro-
nouncable southern European name in
the criminal calendar, we balance up
with Smith, Palmer or a Johnson.
Race appears to have little to do with
it.
1t used to be said that publicity
was one great cause Of crime and that

That the direct primary has come
to stay was never better evidenced
than it will be in New York next
week. Theodore Roosevelt, William
R. Hearst and Governor Sulzer will
speak from the same platform in ia
vor Of it. 1t is their purpose to
awaken the people to the need of fore
ing their lawmakers to support the
direct primary bill which will be in
troduced in the special session just
called by the governor. Roosevelt,
Sluzer, Hearst! That is a queer COM
bination, but to us here in Idaho who
are accustomed to the primary and
believe in it, the queerest thing is
that all this eNertion should be ne
cessary.

Oscillation between crowned head,

Oscillation between crowned heads
seems to be quite the rule When the
kaiser, the car and King George met
at Berlin Thursday there was a great
kissing bee. If these tender demon
strations mean friendship and peace
for the nations over which they rule,
the world will rejoice that ''the gen
,eral European war" of which we have
heard so much, is eliminated. On the
other hand, if they are merely play
ing at friendship, and are ready to
fly at each others Threats, then there
must be a Judas or so among them.

MUSICAL ELEPHANTS
Elephants Play Horns and Do Other
Funny Stunts.

Yankee Robinson's Musical ele-
plants, which have been playing the
big vaudeville houses during the past
winter, are making a tremendous hit.
Tehe elephants are of more than ordi-
nary size, in fact, the largest per-
forming elephants in the country, and
they go through their daily routine
amazingly.
In addition to the herd which the
circus carries, it has on exhibition the
greatest beast that ever walked the
face Of earth-Kongo, mighty
elephant from imported to this
country for tour of the circus this
season. Will show at Moscow Tues
day, June 8.

Rosalie Jones and her army having
played Albany, New York, Washington

tour of the one-night stands for the

If newspapers would stop publishing
the full details there would be less Of
it. But the newspapers do not fill in
all the gruesome details as they once
did. Often a half dozen lines tells
the story of tragedy that once would
have filled columns. Publicity may
have a share of blame for inducing
crime, but the real cause lies deeper
In part, the increase in crime or
violence may be laid at the door of
our national haste and nervous ten
sion. The average American has a
passion for work, for accomplish
ments Hence the mad speed with
which we go rushing across the con-
tinent Hence the dreadful speed
ing up" systems in the factories, with
it's heavy toll of life and suffering.
A man or woman works until physic-
al strength is exhausted and the !
nerves are strung to the highest ten
sion. Then comes the opposition, the
cross-current, and, snap the tension
breaks and crime is committed.
For years philosophers have been
telling us Yankees that we live too t
fast, but we have not needed. Some
way we simply cannot stop in our
rush for accomplishments. We ac-
knowledge that we work too fast, at
a too high tension but we do not
slow down. 1t is much harder to get
out of the habit of rush work than
to acquire it.
One reason for the increase of Grim
inality may be noted 1t is the growth
of irreligion among our people. Sta
tistics notwithstanding we are not a
nation. Unlike our
we have little sense of
responsibility to Higher power, and
whatever scientists and advanced
thinkers may tell us, there is nothing ]
truer than the old saying, "The fear
IF the Lord is the beginning Of wis

Dr. John H. Address, who comes to

They are getting together a fleet of

lions they have been operating play
house boats on the Mississippi? The.
idea is an innovation in the effete East
at any rate, and it is predicted that it
will be a huge success. The mana
gers who are equipping the boats plan
to start them out with vaudeville bills.
They will ply up and down the Hud-
son and perhaps go out on the Sound
putting on shows every night and al
lowing dancing before and after the
performance.

will come further in toward the white

STAGE GOSSIP, PLAYS
MANAGERS AND ACTORS
BY Beau Rialto.


written for the United Press.)
NEW YORK, May 24-The summer
season is upon u.s. Unlike the rest
of the world, the scar and yellowed
! leaf comes upon the old Rialto in the
late spring, when all the rest of nature
is in full bloom, Already the sign has
been put up on some of the most sue
cessful presentations of the late sea-
son. Some of the productions will re-
open again in the fall, when the thea
tire goers come back to town, while
others have been consigned to the
limbo which is the bourne from which
no mediocre play returns.
Indicative of the season, the years
successes may be numbered on the
fingers of a one-handed switchman
The season of 1912-1913 was disas-
trous. Surely. They all are to hear
the managers tell it. But the season
just closing was an exceptionally bad
one. There are now playing on the
Great White Way less than half
dozen of the shows that began early
in the season. Among them are
"Fanny's First Play" .'The Lady and
the Slipper with Elsie Janis, Mont
gomery and Stone, and Belasco's
ssxy
Little Devil" The Rialto this past |
season was strewn with dry bones as
never before in recent years, in any |
year, as a matter of fact, save those of |
financial stringency and panic The
reason largely is a dual one; the in
crease in number of theatres and the
dearth of new plays that are good.
During the late lamented period there
were few plays produced that had
within them anything of merit.
1t may be remarked in passing that
by some coincidence, strange or other
wise, most of the plays that got by
we're those dealing with children and
he juvenile. Snow Wh1te, put on
~ Winthrop Ames; William A.
3rady's Little Women, "The Poor
little Rich Girl, 2 and "The Good Lit
lie Devil" were among the plays that
asted any time, which had to do with (
he doings of children. {
Altogether, the dramatic season on
leaves only two conclu- G
ions to be drawn, that there are few {
God plays being written by the mod S
rms of both America and abroad, and d
hat section on either side Of Broad
ray between Forty-second street and
'orty-ninth street is becoming too
