The Sad World.
The has risen, but his rays
Are dull and cold and cheerless
The worlds world of yesterdays
Where men once hoped and women's praise
Was guerdon for the fearless;
The stupid only turn to gaze
From eyes that still fearless.
The breezes blow through hedges where
Nests may be lightly swinging;
The joyousness that once was there
Has been supplanted by despair;
Where gladness once was ringing
There is dismal note Of care
In every songster's singing.
The rose is dropping on the vine
Its petals fall unheeded
Fond eyes that once looked into mine
Have ceased to let read the sign
For which / fondly pleaded
Another's won her, with the fine
Inheritance / needed.

CURRENT COMMENT
Campaign Against Cancer.

Physicians and laymen who propose the for
nation of a national organization to make a
night against cancer need no argument to win
general favor for their plan, the mere fact
that more than $4,000 persons die OF that dread
disease annually in this country.
There is no known cure" says DR. Cleveland
except surgery, applied in the earlier stages"
Consequently the people must be taught to
recognize incipient cancer and to seek the sur
geon's aid promptly when 1t Is discovered.
The new organization. it is understood, will
follow the lines of the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of tuberculosis,
through whose activities more than 400, 900 lives
have been saved in ten years.
The campaign of education will include the
publication of articles in newspapers and maya
zines, distribution of pamphlets. special instruc-
ton in training schools for nurses and lectures
before women's cluhs.-Boston Globe

New Picture Show.

Meridian has a new motion pict-
ure theatre that it should be
justly proud of. The New Merid-
ian Theatre, which was built by
Mr.. Geo. F. Lewis, has now been
taken over by other parties and
will be managed by Mr.. il. .Busey
and Mr.. G. E. Halliday, of Boise,
with Mr.. Fred Nusbaum as local
agent. Two shows are given
nightly, beginning at 8 o'clock.
and four full reels are shown at
each show which will last slightly
over one hour. This theatre will
show pictures that are shown in
all the large cities, and is fully
equal to and as nice as almost any
show house in Idaho. The people
OF Meridian should give their pat
ronage to this theatre as it will be
a good advertisement to the town
and will possibly be the stepping
stone to other investments in ouI
town in the near future. We are
informed by the new management
that this theatre will only show
motion pictures during the sum-
mer months but they expect to put
in vaudeville circuit little later
on. Pictures are changed three
times weekly on Mondays, Wed
nssdays and Fridays.
The management wish to inform
the creditors of the sformer pro,
moter, Geo. Lewis. that they will
meet all bills incurred in the es
tablishment of the theatre.

The Only Safe Course.

There is a supreme court justice in
New York city who is locally noted for
his severity. IL he can prevent it no
guilty man shall escape, and in his
court very few of them do.
Last fall a man was on trial before
him for forgery. The prosecution, SO
1t seemed to most OF the spectators,
failed to make out very good case,
Nevertheless the jury came in with a
verdict Of guilty
Later the foreman OF the jury was
talking about the case with friend
who had heard some of the testimony
1--WE weren't certain that we ought
to convict either" said the foreman
in explanation. '.but after listening &c

ALLOWANCES FOR
FESTIVAL CARVED
Executive Committee Keeps
Within Sum Raised For
Big Event.

At meeting OF the Fall Festival
committee today the appropriations
committee made its report. showing
that the money asked for by the va
rious committee chairmen had been
materially reduced. The appropria-
tons committee in making its report
stated that ii was absolutely neces-
sary to cut the appropriation OF every
committee to the lowest possible
amount, as the money asked for had
exceeded the amount pledged by about
81 500 AS il stands now, there is a
surplus of $3.50, which will all be used
before the close of the festival
Each committee has proposed TO
keep within the amount appropriated
and it is believed that a few OF the
committees will show a surplus after
all bills are met.
From the plans that have been
adopted it is believed by the commit
! tees that the festival will be bigger
and better than before with the same
amount of money expended.
The chairman of the finance com
mittee reported that the total sub
scriptions todate amounted to ST.
| 100, and of this amount over $4,000
/ has been collected in cash up to the
present time.
The committee approved the festiva
! band plan of l.. B. Nusbaum, chair
man of the music committee, and ap
propriated $500 to be used in the or
ganiZation of a large band of loca
players. 1t is planned to divide the
band into three sections to be used
in the parades.
| The amusement committee reported
that it had written to Wilbur Wright
at Dayton, O., to see if he would come
to Richmond during the Festival ant
supervise the flight of one of his air
ships. The committee believes thai
as he and his brother were at one
time residents of Richmond, he will
be willing to come and take part il
the program. The amusement com
mittee also has a number of letters
from aviation companies offering theil
services during the festival. The
best price offer yet is $500 for one
days flight, and the committee feel!
that it would not be justified in pay
ing that price.

READY FOR STRIKE.
Most of the Local Trainmen Would
Obey a Strike Order.

Practically all the trainmen con-
cerned by the threatened strike who
are employed on divisions running in
to Richmond are prepared to walk out
"There will be few of the old pas
senger men," said John Bymaster, OF
the local Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, "who would stick to their
jobs, but the majority of the mem
bers of the brotherhood will strike if
the order is given.
For that reason it can not be esti'
mated how many men will be out on
the strike. There are 1913 members in
the Richmond brotherhood, and that
does not include those at Cincinnati
where another brotherhood is located
