Judge Kirkland l. Perky, Of
Boise, appointed to the U. S. SEN
ate by Gov. Hawley following the
death of SenatorHeyburn, when in
terviewed in Washington before
taking his departure for home
after the election of Senator
James H. Brady to take his place
said among other things:
II want to say right here that
Senator Borah today is as influ-
entail among the democrats Of the
senate as any member of that
body, whe re no partisan question
is at issue, and his influence is as
great on the other side of the
party aisle. l was impressed when
l came here with the high regard
in which senator's of both parties
hold Senator Borah, and was par
ticularly astonished to find him
so highly lauded by senator's OF
my party. Today Senator Borah
is mighty influence in the SEN
ate; he is destined to become still
more powerful, and / do not hest
tate to say that at the present
moment be ranks among the first
five members of the entire senate.
He is strong, both because Of his
ability and because OF his person
al popularity, and the fearless
ness with which he engages the
big men Of the senate in debate
has won him support. recognize
now what factor Senator Bor-
ah has become in congress, and
he has earned his position, for he
is a profound student OF public
questions, a diligent and tireless
worker and man whose words
command respectful hearing and
consideration"

OLIVE BRANCH EXTENDED
AND RECEIVED.

IT seems that the more levelhead-
ed men of the two elements of the
republican party in this state are
disposed to make concessions to
each other and come together on
common ground upon the basis of
the greatest good to the greatest
number. This spirit was evidenced
at the Lincoln Day Banquet which
was held in Boise, last week, at
which republicans from all parts
of the state met and exchanged
views as to the future course of
the party and especially toward
the harmonizing of its two fac
tons. If this disposition continues
which is not improbable, the party
will be rejuvenated and continue
in supremacy in this state. But
it is certain that this cannot be
accomplished without magnan-
unity and a spirit of liberality be-
ins freely displayed by both ele-
ments involved.
This. Lincoln Day meeting was
The Grangeville globe. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho) 1907-1922, 1913-02-20
inaugurated in the state Of Idaho
by Charles L. Hoffman at the time

inaugurated in the state Of Idaho
by Charles L. Hoffman at the time
he was chairman of the republican
state central committee and has
met with favor by all republicans
regardless of their differing and
peculiar views on men and issues.
Such an annual meeting where the
name of Lincoln, the founder Of
the republican party and the great
benefactor of the human race was
the rallying slogan, could but have
"a harmonizing effect and those in
attendance at the Boise meeting
seemed to have partaken Of and
been inspired by the spirit which
dominated the great emancipa-
tor.
In inaugurating the custom of
observing this natal day, Mr.. Heit'
man did no little service for his
party. And as the years go by,
the political wisdom which actual
ed him in the move, will become
more apparent as it's power to pre-
serve an undivided house is de-
monstrated. We have not always
agreed with Mr.. Hoffman but in
him we recognize party leader of
political wisdom who has been un-
selfish in his devotion to his party
for long years and a citizen whose
guiding hand has been recognized
in the direction of the state gov
eminent, the perpetuity of his
party and the general welfare OF
the state.

UTAH TO THE FRONT.

Our neighbOring state, Utah, is
taking advance positions along a
number of lines. She has worked
out system of road building all
over the state that has been found
by experience to work well. At
the good roads meeting held in
Logan last summer this law and
its working were explained by
state officials and the results were
shown in and around Logan. 1t
meets the hearty approval of the
people. Here in Idaho on the
road question we simply are pre-
serving the status quo. which
means that we are making time.
Good road activity in Utah should
have the effect of stirring up the
people who live just across the
line to an imitation of the good
work.
Then the legislature of Utah
has recently passed a mothers pen
sion bill, granting $40 month to
mothers having one child to sup
port by their labor and 81 a
month additional for each addi-
tional child, so that a mother with
three children left to be supported
by her labor would give her an
income of 1924 a month, a nice
little sum with which a woman of
average judgment and manage
ment, supplemented by what work
she can do at home or abroad dur
ing a part of the day, could sup
port her children well.
In some of the counties of Idaho
the commissioners are granting
certain sum per week to mothers
who are compelled to support thei
children left dependent upon then
from one cause or another, 81
that they can stay at home ant
care for them. 1t is found tina
this works much better than t.
take the children from the mothel
and place them in homes provided
for destitute children. Such &C
ton is a step in the right direc
ton, but a general state pension
to mothers modelled after the Uta
law is well worth consideration.
In the matter of public schools
and especially High schools, Uta
, is making a creditable record. 1
many of the smaller towns larg
and well equipped High school
have been built in the last tw
years and high class of teacher
are laying the foundations fc
higher education.
Utah has a number of music;
, composers, who have published r
. Gently songs and other compos
, tons that are attracting wide a
: tentiOn.

A SHOCK FROM OUR
Z sA SCHOOLS. ssi&

There are some charges in the
journal of Education" which
are apparently backed by statis-
tics, which if made known to the
public relative to our boosted ed
ucational facilities, should greatly
shock that public. "The average
wage of public school teachers in
Is Of the 48 states" says this
journal, amounts to less than 81
day, and in only five states is
it more than So day"
What kind of service may we
expect from teachers who are
worth no more than that? But
that is not all. "Throughout the
southern states" continues this
journal, thousands of rural
teachers earn less than $3.50 per
year. In one New England state
hundreds of teachers earn less
than Sc per week"
Ii the quotation had not come
from an educational journal, we
should have been disposed to- quar-
rel about the statement that these
teachers earn no more than is
indicated to be paid, but perhaps
the journal is right. Any teacher
who teaches ,one year after another
for less than Sc week or for less
than $3.50 per year, probably
earns" no more than is paid, bu'
we are constrained to the belief
that many even poorly paid teach
ers earn ''far more than they are
paid.
Zone southern state rents it's
convicts to contractors at little
more than $500 annually, while it
pays its public school teachers
Slightly over $500. A woman can
earn more washing dishes in many
of our large cities than teaching
school in most rural communities.
The farmer loves his children more
than his live stock, but in most Of
our states feeding hogs and milk
ing cows pays better than teaching
children.
These are pretty harsh things
to say just as we are all begin
ming to feel "chesty" over the re-
cord we have been making in
school affairs, and they tend to
let us down with a very notice
able thump from the exalted po-
sition to which our pride has ele-
waited us.
1t may help us some here in
Idaho to know that our state
stands fourteenth in the list of
states of the union in the amount
paid teachers annually, the Ida
no annual payroll being $549 as
against the 1913 per annum paid
by California, which stands first
Still there is not much to boast
about for Idaho when we think
of what the lowest paid teachers
must get when the average of the
highest paid superintendent anc
the lowest paid teachers is but that
: amount, which is considerably less
3 than So per day at that. Nortl
Carolina is the forty-eighth state
paying but an average of 5000 pc
year. Of our neighboring states
Washington stands sixth paying
an average of 1892; Montana sew
enth with an average of $645
Utah tenth with 1892; Wyoming
twenty-fourth with $439; Oregon
seventeenth with $516,and Nevad
twenty-first with $40.
This same journal contains thi
sentence which may be taken a
text for many lectures an
very much thought upon the par
Of all classes:
Gas a nation. the United Sta
es has a shorter school day,
shorter school week, and a short
school year than any other highl
civilized country in the world. "
Is that to our credit. or is it t
our discredit?

A CARD OF THANKS.

We feel that words are made.
uuate to the occasion and
language too feeble to express
our gratitude and thanks to our
friends and neighbors who raj
lied 10 our assistance and so
cheerfully responded to tighten
our gloom and dependency,
when our boy lay stricken with
burns and sore Affections incur
ed by a fatal "a ilroad disaster.
We know that all that kind
hands could do and skill could
accomplish, was administered
in spirit that made a lasting
impression; but the monster
was memorable and we yield to
the decree of natures wrath, but
have an abiding faith in Him who
doeth all things we'll and promises
a final resurrection and happy
reunion. The young men of the
community and Mason's associ-
ates were especially attentive
and their constant presence and
resourceful minds made an i'm
preston that will never be effac-
ed so long as grateful hearts can
appreciate the charm of devo
ton and fraternal spirit Of
brotherhood. Such kindness as
our friends bestowed and their
constant response to our deep
Affections lessened the distress
and gloom thus imposed, and
makes US feel Thy will be done"
in a more contrite spirit.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. n. Kelly and
family.

MOST PRODUCTIVE Gas
WELL IN CADDO
field BROUGHT IN
1t Has q Daily Capacity OF Between
$4,000, 900 and So 900 Cubic
Feet, and Opens New Strata
in Undeyeloped Ter
tory.

The largest gas well in the
Caddo field, and perhaps the
largest inthe world, was brought
in Monday. The well is located
on the property of the Rogers
Oil and Gas Company, near Lew
is, La, and has a tested capacity
of between seventy-tive million
and eighty million cubic feet
daily. Perhaps the best feature
of the new we'll is that it devel-
ops an entirely new strata of gas
in a hitherto undeveloped terri
tory.
News Of the bringing in of the
new we'll was brought to Shreve-
port last night by Mr.. X. w.
Brown, of Brown Bros, drillers,
which firm is interested in the
Rogers Company. Mr.. Brown,
who is one of the most expert
enced drillers in this section,
reports that the we'll is the larg
est in the Caddo field. 1t has a
rock pressure Of twelve hundred
pounds to the square inch, and
was found at between 200 and
$500 feet.
The we'll is on the northern
edge Of section 10, and is in the
heart of the company's tract of
| 2, 26O acres, extending 3 4 miles
along the Kansas City Southern,
between Oil City on the south
and Vivian on the north. The
bringing in Of this we'll opens up
immense possibilities for this
territory.
The gas from the new well
has been turned into the mains
of the arkansas Natural Gas
Company; and is, consequently,
already commercial product

uiate points between Shreveport

There is general rejoicing
among those interested in bring
ing in this productive well, for it

ton to what itself gives, with
