There is a great disturbance now
in the kinds and prices of fuel and
power made from petroleum. In the
last ten years great strides have been
made with oil burners, and now
when oil burner engines are being
made and installed at a rate never
before known for any engines, new
applications of gasoline for power
takes so much petroleum for the
manufacture of gasoline, that there
is great shortage in the supply of
crude oil for the oil burners and a
shortage in the supply of gasoline
because of the increased demand for
it for power purposes.
The only hopeful feature of the
situation is that a new fluid known
as benzol has been applied as sub
stitute for gasoline, and tests indi
cate that it can be used in automo
biles without any change being made
in the mechanism. 1t Is abi-pro

BRADY ELECTED o. s. SENATOR

Jas. H. Brady of Pocatello was
elected last Friday to the United

about ten days and Judge ]. F. ALL

The Bingham county representa-
tives voted for Ailshie until 1t APP
peared impossible for him to sue
coed when P. g. Johnston gave his
support to Brady on the request OF
a number of representative citizens
and the county Republican commit
tee at home. Mr.. Dickinson de-
clined to yield to the same request
and in the final ballot that elected
Brady, he passed nthe roll call and
voted after all the others votes had
been recorded. Brady had 43 vot-
es, two more than the required mai
ority, and Mr.. Dickinson made a
short speech denouncing Brady and
then said, "In order to express my
supreme contempt for the combina-
tion and the means by which this re-
suit has been brought about, cast
my vote for W. c. Courtney, the
colored janitor Of the house"

things looked very favorable until
the matter came up in Methodist
conference and some of the big men
of that organization raised the liq-
uor question. 1t was conceded that
Boise was Wet and that the pop
ulation of the entire county was re-
sponsible for it. Then great
storm swept over the conference so to
speak and Boise never had the big
Methodist University quite SO close
again as it was the hour before this
was mentioned.
The town of Gooding became a
candidate for the place, and raised
an endowment of about a quarter of

not all go to church. people do not
all read the newspapers, those who
do read them will not read all there
is in them. Persons of all ages may
attend church and read the papers,
and there are certain ages during
which this class of matter should
not be brought to the childs atten-
ton. Of all subjects that must be
taught, this is the most difficult and
is the most difficult to adapt to the
age of the person to be taught.
There is a psychological reason
why the pulpit and the press cannot
do the educating. People like to re-
ceive what they want when they want
it, That is to say, if a person wants
to worship, he goes to a place of
worship if he wants legal advice he
goes to lawyer lat the time he
wants it; if a man is about to be
sued and somebody goes to him to
teach him sex hygiene. he resents it.
If he goes to church and is taught
this subject for an hour he will be
likely to resent it because it carries
with it something of the suggestion
that perhaps he is especially in need
of that information that day. If it is
presented to him in the newspaper
the same principle applies, except
that he has chance to pass it by
though he may not want his child
to read it just at that age or that
particular section of the subject.
The old saying that these subjects
should be taught in their places and
that these places are not of pub
lie nature, is still true, though there
is hope that it may be systematized
and that classes may be made up
whose ages are adapted to the chap
ter to be presented, and in this pri-
vate, quasi-public manner drive out
the blot of ignorance that has
wrecked so many millions of the
best young men and young women of
the world

A present day historian says, Of
printing; Without it, the Revival of
Learning must have languished, and
the Reformation could hardly have
become fact in history. It's in
strument. the Press, is fifty chosen
as the symbol of the new era of intel
|ligence and freedom which it ushered
in"
But of what generic value was the
revival of learning when that learn
ing was to be confined to few
musty monasteries, and the secretar-
les of feudal lords? ...
The name of the instrument was
transferred to its product and, to-
day, by the Press is meant those pub
locations that are the vanguard of
the army of intelligence and free
dom, an army that is battling for a
nearest approach to truth, broader
understanding Of right, and a uni
versatility of justice that shall enable
each worlds inhabitant to realize
finally, that all others are his breth-
rem. That day Is coming, yes, it is
nearly here. ..,.
The Press has large family Of
favorite children, but the nearest
and dearest, the sweetest and cutest,
the pride of its fulness of years, is
the Schools. Whether it be in
times of plenteous peace with its en-
ervating influences, or when grim
visaged war holds the nations in de-
grading grasp, or when a panic's pen
ury is visited upon all manner of
men, the Press is in the forefront
directing the public eye, ear and
heart to its priceless possession, the
schools.
The child that gives its mother
the greatest concern, the one she
most labors for, she most loves. So
with the Press. For the Schools Of
the land it has thought and contriv-
ed. For their parents and support 1t
has labored in and out of season. For
their greater usefulness the schools
acknowledge no other factor approach
ing the Press.

A NEW LAW ABOUT PRINTING

1t is reported that bill has been
or will be introduced in the legis-
lature requiring that county COM
missioners' proceedings be printed in
pamphlet form instead of in the
newspapers, and that the legal rate
for notices required by law to be
published in newspapers shall be cut
in two in the middle
We do not know who is the author
of the bill, but if he has an eye to
the good of the service and the mat
ter of economy he will find the plan
impractical. The one provision is
as impractical as the other
is harsh on the press. 1t
is a case of the pendulum swinging
to another extreme. No man or
men with practical ideas of the
printing business would start out to
secure either efficient publicity or
economy on either of these items,
and when the legislature of Idaho
gets to where it is sincere in its eX-
preston that it wants to economic
in the public printing, it will listen
to suggestions from newspaper meI
and find the way cleared to an ex
tent which they have apparently moi
yet thought of. Three times in thu
last two years when members of the
press have made suggestions for the
improvement of the service and a
less expense they have been giver
deaf ear. The only times they hav,
been heard was when they suggested
additional service at fixed cost, ant

the idea that the editors never sug

THE CASE OF DICKINSON

1t is generally conceded that Mr..
Dickinson carried his opposition to
Brady too far when he made the
scathing speech against him after
Brady had been elected and the an
nouncement of the ballot was about
to be made, and all agree that it
was an unwarranted act to vote for
the colored man. Anything he could
do after the contest was over and
the senator elected could not recall
the defeat of the anti-Brady men,
and it is rule of all contests to
yield gracefully as soon as one is alb
solutely beaten.
Eye witnesses of the scene say
that there was less of reproach to be
gathered in witnessing it than to
have been elsewhere and heard the
simple fact that man had stood out
ana FOLoQ LOT nlSSeF. lie HIS
sing of Dickinson's vote was offset
by his friends end sympathizers who
applauded him. The applause of
Dickinson's attitude is said by some
to have been greater than that which
followed the announcement OF
Brady's election.
1t was generally supposed al
Blackfoot that Mr.. Dickinson's action
in this instance had destroyed his
usefulness in the legislature. but
later observations do not seem tt
bear out that conclusion.

clique to manipulate to the advanta-
&c of few pets or local grafters.
And no kicks at the change but the
aforementioned pets and grafters.
Beyond this the editor is often an
observer and philosopher of prac-
tical turn, and it Is not rare to see
schemes of improvement set on foot
among the schools as the result of
his conference and suggestions to
wise teachers. There is never
movement of the kind that the pa
per man is not ready to herald to the
world for all it is worth. thou
sand little things they do that time
and space forbid mentioning, but
one will suffice, that of a publisher
who furnished proof copies of his
paper to students of composition
class that they might have real lex
ercises to be corrected" Any pay
in that? Not money in hand, but
the spirit manifested endears the
Press to the pupils cements their
common interests; promotes harmony
in the community; and quickens the
appreciation of each for all.
There is never forward step by
teachers and school officials but the
Press is there holding aloft the ban
ner of progr. SIS, encouraging and sus-
tanning those who have taken that
step.
The liberality of our state legisla-
lures, in educational matters the ap-
parently high levies in school dis
tricts. the ever increasing wages paid
competent teachers, and the resulting
high tide in all Idaho school inter-
ests are due, in their major part,
to the CONSTANT insistent, persistent
and consistent demands of the wide
awake Press of Idaho.
The consciousness of duty well
done is it's chief reward. No mer-
chant paying his monthly stipend for
advertising, gets one-tenth the men,
ton of himself and his business as do
the teachers and their schools whose
yearly patronage brings TO the print
er less revenue than the merchants
single month. ,
Harmony is the chief strength Of
aggregate bodies. When Idaho faces
her future with all her citizens united
each recognizing the place, and worth
of the other. from his excellency, the
Governor, to the humblest citizen Of
the most remote community, an in
dividual often offering to the state
but little except his good will and
poll tax, then, and not until then, will
all of us recognize that the mightiest
factors in bringing about such a mil
lenium are those two that have here
to fore worked together so valiantly
continuously, and harmoniously, each
appreciative of the other, the Press
and the Schools

possibly first when it comes to the
enthusiasms and scholastic vigor of
it's students. Its proprietors are mil
lionaires. It's graduates hold all
kinds of prominent positions from U.
s. Senator down. Its influence is
felt in every state of the nation. And
yet, that institution is less than for
ty years old and has never had dol
lar of endowment or outside aid.
What has given such phenomenal
success? Let it's president answer.
Here it is: "Our success comes chief
ly from the two major causes: LIST,
we maintain courses of study meet
ing the demands of all real students
attending, and End. we have contin-
uously and literally patronized the
advertising columns of the newspa-
| pers of the land"
But we are not obliged to go as
far away as VALPARAISO, Indiana for
all that may be said along this line.
What would be the condition of our
beloved State University, the Normals
at Lewiston and Albion, and the Po-
catello Academy. if wise heads had
not recognized that they would be
wasting energy without the co-opera-
ton of the Press of Idaho?
While that Indiana institution had
to buy its space from start to finish,
these Idaho institutions have had
free access to the columns of every
journal Of the state for much ad-
vertising matter
The Idaho Newspaper man Is a
systematic booster from the very
first day he breathes the invigorating
ozone of this Switzerland Of Ameri-
ca. Mr.. President, it is my belief
that If you could make an Idaho quill
driver dead drunk, store him in a
boneyard to sober up, and there he
should dream that he had slept
thousands of years to awaken with
the Resurrection, then when he cast
his eyes upon his osseous surround
ings, he would shout. GLORY Halle
lujah! 1t is the Resurrection Morn,
and an Idaho man is the first to heed
the blast of Gabriel's trumpet"
But the Idaho Press does not con-
fine its efforts educational to the free
publication of newsy notes from the
State institutions. The home coun-
ty and town are dear to the editor,
and he never loses an opportunity to
aid their schools, from an elaborate
write-up of High School Commence
ment down to the doings OF far off
country districts whose teachers are
encouraged to furnish notes from
their schools and neighborhoods, and
in those notes no worthy cause ever
fails to get its mention.
And, as the rural schools and com
munities read their own record they
glance at that of others. A laudab-
BILE ambition to excel is generated.
: Higher and higher it rises until we
see it to-day, pre-eminent, the Idaho
schools having become the glory of
the state and the envy of others many
times older. The rural reader sees
in the paper what the districts mon
: ey has gone for, and sees it when he
) has time to study it all over and
comment thoughtfully thereupon. If
he sees expenses that are not legiti-
mate, his remedy is at hand. Through
