.Ro1ph Keeps w ord
] Attends Reunion
of Orphans

Mayor Rolph side stepped a luncheon
to the secretary of war yesterday to
attend reunion of more than 100 de-
pendent boys and girls at st. Boniface's
church in Golden Gate avenue.
The boys-79 of them-were from the
'Albertinum at Ukiah. coming to San
Francisco by special train yesterday
morning to meet their sisters from st.
Mary's convent, at Mission San Jose,
and the Roman Catholic orphan asy-
Ium at Mount ST. Joseph.
The first reunion Of this kind was
held last summer. At that time Mayor
Rolph met the youngsters and told
this year. So. yesterday, the mayor
forgot about bond issues and police
women and the like, sent note of ex-
PLANTATION to the Chamber of Commerce.
which was acting as host to Secretary
Garrison, and at the last minute left
the city hall and was hustled over to
the church to keep his promise Of a
year ago.
And, yesterday, the mayor agreed to
be with the children again next sum-
mer and in 1915, too, at which time he
position in large touring cars and to
act as their personal guide to the
greatest show that man has ever held.
TALKS AND SHAKES HANDS
Only once did the mayor think about
the bond issue during the time he
was with the children. This was dur
ing short talk in which Mr.. Rolph
referred to himself as s''taxeater' .
After telling the boys and girls how
glad he was to see them, the mayor
went back to the days he was in
school and told of his efforts at making
impressive recitations. Then the
mayor left the stage of the church
auditorium and shook hands with each
OF the children.
The boys from Ukiah came on a train
provided by William n Rolph, the
mayors brother. The girls from the
other institutions came to the city ear
lier in the day. Then the reunion
began. One little boy hadn't seen his
sister In two years and he didn't know
her. He didn't think there was any
thing unusual in that, but being for
gotten by her brother-well, the little
sister just went or into corner and
cried. Mrs. Annie Andrews Of 302
Brazil street, a widow, met her eight
children at the reunion. 1t was the

first time they had all been together
in more than six years.
One little boy came down with the
crowd yesterday, but he didn't go back
last night because his mother said she
would try again to make little home
for him. And there was one little
golden haired girl who said goodby to
her playmates and went away clinging
to her fathers hand. The parent was
shaved and neatly dressed. He's a
different man than a year ago." said
Judge Frank Murasky.
At noon lunch was served by the
women Of the parish. There was plenty
of ice cream and cake and pie and
everything else that youngsters like.
Soon after / o'clock, when the mayor
arrived, the children filed into the au-
ditorium and a chorus of boys sang
and there were recitations. Five Do
minican sisters had charge OF the boys.
Father Sebastian Bremen accompany
ing them.
- At 3 o'clock the brothers and sisters
began saying goodby for another year,
and then the little reunion was ended
The boys went north and the little girls
to the south and the southeast to look
forward to similar event some time
next summer.

ACTION FOR MILLIONS
RAISES GRAVE QUESTION
Is Girl OF IS Old Enough to Understand
What Is Good for Her, to Be
Legally Determined

NEW YORK, July 31.--Is a girl of
16 old enough to understand what is
best for her?
Around this question will center the
legal fight begun by Miss Florence
Louise Brandt for share in the mill
lions left by William Ziegler, the mil
lionaire baking powder manufacturer.
According to the answer filed today
to her suit Miss Brandt alleged she
was too young to know what was good
for her when she consented in 1902 to
have. her adoption by Mr.. Ziegler an
nulled She was then 16.
Her brother, William Ziegler Jr,,
whose adoption was not annulled and
who inherited the bulk OF the fortune,
contents himself in hts answer with a
brief denial of this and of one other al
legation of her bill.

BRITISH NATION
REF USES TO TAKE
PART IN BIG FAIR
Unofficial Advices Say Ques-
ton of Canal Tolls Lies at
Bottom Of Objections
Made

LONDON, July 31.-Great Britain has
decided against participation in the
Panama Pacific exposition in San Fran
cisco in 1915.
Notification of this determination of
the British government was conveyed
officially to Washington early this
week, the dispatch merely stating that
Great Britain was not in position
to participate. No reasons were given.
Both the British foreign office and
Walter Hines Page, the United States
ambassador here decline to discuss the
matter or to reveal the cause of this
some time back that the nation had de-
cided in principle to take part in the
great fair.
1t has been suggested for some time,
however, that the dispute in regard to
the Panama canal tolls might possibly
lead to this result and the present noti-
fication of nonparticipation is attrib-
uted to that cause
OPPOSITION IN GERMANY
The long delay in action on the invi-
tation, extended year ago, has been the
cause of deep. concern to the manage
ment of the. exposition, particularly as
+OppOSltlOn iidQ iAhCW icC 0C-
ve1oped in Germany, where certain OF
the great trade associations, such as
those representing the steel and iron
manufacturers, have formally requested
the German government to decline the
invitation
: In an unofficial way, it is said that
dissatisfaction on the part of the great
commercial nations with certain fea-
lures Of the pending tarif bill, which
they felt bore badly on their trade, was
the reason for the attitude of covert
hostility toward the San Francisco fair.
But. as the senate finance committee
has amended the tariff bill in man
ner thought to make 1t unobjection-
able to those nations, it was fully ex-
pected that they would see their way
clear to accept the Invitation.
CANAL TOLLS MAY BE REASON
In the case. Of Great Britain, how
ever, though the original cablegram of
Ambassador Page giving notice OF the
declination has now been supplemented
by mail report dealing with the sub
ject more fully, it is not yet positively
known what basis Of objection now re-
mains.
1t is thought by officials, however,
that the underlying objection is based
on the view of the ihcongruity OF Brit
ish participation In an event designed
to celebrate the opening of the Pan
anna canal, while there is dispute as
to its free use.

THE STATESMAN ANNUAL.

The Annual Review of The States.
man is the most creditable edition OF
a newspaper ever attempted in this
section of the country. It takes six
sections. embodying 82 pages. to tell
all that The Statesman has to say
about Idaho, especially the south
western portion thereof. And it is
all told we'll, in an interesting and con-
vincing manner that leaves a good
taste in the mouth, as we'll as an ap-
petite for more.
When one considers the immense
territory that The Statesman has to
cover, sparsely populated, apprecia-
ton of the paper is inevitable. As a
newspaper. The Statesman is one of
the best in the Northwest; and its
Annual Review is the best edition
ever gotten out by the paper.

upon a good work we'll

McDougall Each of these met con-
Quoted his Office and the affairs of
state honestly and with great ability.
The county officers assume charge
next Monday. At the last election
the people of the county made a great
many changes. They elected an en-
tirely new board of county commits
sioners; new superintendent of
schools; new sheriff; probate judge
and promoted Judge Henry from the
probate court to the position of
county attorney. Very wisely they
retained Assessor Christopher and
Treasurer Monk. The new Sheriff is
Mr.. Frank Breshears, who has SER
we'd in that capacity before; the new
superintendent of schools is Miss Z.
Fay Fowler, Democrat, but other
wise a most estimable and accomplish
ed young lady. The new probate
judge is attorney D. D. Harger, a
prominent member of the Canyon
County bar. All of the new county
officers have expressed as determined
to put forth their best efforts to CIV
ing the people of the county the best
most economical and most efficient
administration in the history of the
county. Commissioners-elect Par
fridge, Mitchell and Blair, have ex-
pressly agreed to devote their time
and talents in promoting strict eco
nomy. While we believe that Cover
nor Haines will set the pace in eco
nomy, as he promises to do, he has
some apt pupils in Canyon county,
who will give him run for his money.
When it comes to keeping ahead of
The new Canyon county officials he
will have to get up pretty early in the
morning. The day Of economy is
lere and it is to be practised from
Governor down to coroner.
The outgoing administration in this
ounty can look back upon two years
II successful administration. The
lifferent Offices were conducted in \
tightly efficient manner. There has
'een very little criticism during the
asst two years. 1t can be truthfully
aid, that in great many respects,

wo years has been the best we have
yer had.

ernor will give them better and a
broader view of the affairs of state
than any other document with which
we are acquainted. Another COM
mendable feature. of the message is
that it points out particular evils and
shows definite way of overcoming
them. In the matter of economy, for
instance, Governor Haines shows ex-
actly where extravaganza is practised
and how to overcome it. His sugges.
tions are clear cut, and there is no
reason why the message should not
be of great help to the legislature. In
one particular Governor Haines
shows his sound common sense very
clearly. He calls attention to the fact
that the laws in general of Idaho are
in no immediate need of revision or
amendment. He urges the legisla-
ture to >con6ne its attention to few
important bills; see that they are
properly drawn to accomplish the pur-
pose in view; intelligently worded that
all may understand them and let i.
go at that. However, the reader
should procure copy of the message
in its entirety. A careful reading will
prove highly interesting to every citi-
zen of the state.

1NAUGURAr1NG GOVERNORS.

In about three-fourths of the states
governors take the oath of Office early
in the present month of January. Gold
lace glitters, colonies of militia loot:
very proud and step very high, form
liable promises are sworn to, and once
again the machinery of politics grinds
on.
1t takes bigger man to make a
good governor that it did a few years
ago. Not merely is there more bust
ness to do. but the scope of public
enterprises is steadily increasing.
If the old time public official gave
the people an honest administration
If the bookkeeping was straight and
no money stolen, the people did not
call for very much more.
To-day, the people look to public
officials for constructive work along
new lines. They want better schools.
closer supervision of public service
corporations, development of agricul-
ture. A governor cannot meet these
demands by consulting with his sub
ordinates as to new methods of hand
ling official red tape. He must sur
round himself with competent special
SITS in all lines of human activity. and
translate their theories into laws that
Will work in the hands of common
men.

concerned, Dr.. J. w. Cue, as presi-
dent of the Commercial club, has had

DR.. Cue couldn'e keep the secret of
the wonders of the city. AS booster
OF Caldwell, her people, institutions,
and possibilities, DR.. Cue has but
few equals and no superiors.
But he positively declines to stand

men have been mentioned as possible
candidates for the position, so far as
we know. These are H. w. Dorman.

are all good men. Mr.. Dorman is
one OF the most consistent boosters
the city has ever known. Mr.. LYON

and gives place to no man as a firm
believer in the great destiny of Cald-
well. Mr.. Boyes is one of the best

OF Canyon county that one of their
representatives in the legislature
should be elected speaker of the

that the high intelligence of the peo-

command respect in any gathering.

county is strong. R. w. Cakes, A. +.

CITY, to whom public Office is a
sacred trust. We do not know that
Speaker French is any better or more
capable than any other member from
Canyon county, but laying aside the
Canyon county members, he is the
best in the legislature.
Speaker French served in the legis-
lature several years ago and at that
time was one of the leaders. The ex-
perience gained at that time will be
OF great use to him and to the house.
AS the saying is he knows the ropes
and will be able to expedite the trans
action of business. We offer our con.

The state officers are men of good
Judgment and high character. We
understand that the members of the
present legislature are far above the
average in intelligence, integrity and
character. Men of such standing, in
spired by wholesome ambition to
give the state clean administration
should not fail. Many of the state
ofhcers have already served in the
ofhces to which they have been elect
ed. Such are known and they mus,
nave done their duty or they would
not have been reelected. Among
these serving their second term are
Secretary Clifford, Treasurer Allen,
superintendent of Schools, Miss
Shepherd, Mine Inspector Bell
and we almost might include
attorney General Peterson as
ne has been identified with
the Offices for four years. The
new men are Governor Haines and
Auditor Huston. The Office of gov
