NEW ORGANIZATION OF
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The following is the outline of the
| plan for the reorganization of the
Chamber of Commerce, drawn up by
M. E. Lewis in assisting the commit
tee for that purpose
The New Chamber of Commerce.
1t is the opinion of the Chamber of
Commerce as expressed at a large
meeting held recently at the Guild
hall that the present chamber should
e reorganized on a broader basis, with
a competent paid secretary who could
give the major portion of his time to
the work and have it financed on
basis commensurate with the object
in view to be accomplished. At later
meeting a committee of seven was ap-
pointed to organize, or outline, a new
plan of operation and see if the peo-
pie of Moscow would approve the plan
and get behind the financial end of
it so as to put it through In this con-
nection it might be we'll to briefly
sketch our situation, our resources,
what We hope to accomplish and the
best means to pursue to that end. In
the opinion of this committee these
questions should be considered both
for Latah county and for Moscow.
While we are building up the county
we are helping Moscow, and when we
aid Moscow we are also serving the
county.

A WeH-Deserved Honor.

The selection of former President
Taft as president of the American Bar
Association was an honor well de-
served by the man who all along has
reflected great credit to the profession
of law. On the other hand, the asso-
citation may consider itself fortunate in
having so influential a jurist at its
head. But most of ali it will give the
Bar Associations OF some of the
States a chance to become a powerful
agency for uplifting the standards and
of increasing the usefulness and dig
nifty of the profession by directing its
influence upon the selection of the ju-
dietary.
The subject selected for discussion
before the Bar Association convention
by Mr.. Taft was one upon which he
has always held very decided views,
and we believe that he took the side
of the argument that is maintained by
facts. Ii is hardly necessary to argue
again in these columns that an appoint
i've judiciary is safer and better than
an elective one. 1t is secure in its
tenure; II is independent in politics; it
is not using the influence of these posi-
tions to keep in touch with popular
desires which frequently point to shift
ing relations. This has been true in
the past, and is more likely to be still
more true in the future.
Mr.. Taft pointed out that, in States
where many of the elected Judges in
the past have had high rank, the intro
duction of nomination by direct pri-
maries has distinctly injured the char
acter Of the bench for learning, cour-
age, and ability.
The nomination and election of
judge are now to be the result Of his
own activity and fortuitous circum-
stances. That this will lower the
standards of judicial dignity and i'm
partiality must be obvious to any o1e
who understands imperfect human
nature.
OF course, the appointing power may
make mistakes. but they are not likely
to be so many or so serious as where
the personnel OF the bench IS left
largely to the initiative of those who
constitute it.

The ham sandwich is the great Ameri-
can substitute for food.
A ham sandwich consists of hinged
bun with a suspicion of ham between
halves Modern science has now made
it possible to slice ham so thin that one
pig can lister 5000 ham sandwiches.
When eaten, the ham is literally
sneared with mustard. Thus the eater
imagines that he could taste the ham II
it were not for the mustard and is per-
fectly happy. A new sandwich is now
being tested in which the ham is painted
on the inside Of the bun, and it is giving
very satisfactory results.
The ham sandwich is the mainstay of
the American traveller. 1t forms the
principal bill of fare at all railroad lunch
counters. A railroad lunch counter may
have hard boiled eggs and kiln dried
chicken legs and other delicacies, but
after the hungry traveller has looked
over the assortment he generally resorts
to the sandwich.
One ham sandwich will keep the ordi-
nary traveller from wanting any more
food for 100 miles. This brings down the
cost of travelling in a remarkable man.

Longevity.

Old age in this country is getting
to be a matter of habit, and with the
increase in medical knowledge and
skill in surgery that is being attained
we may soon hope to return to the
days of Methuselah. Mrs. Martha Ar
mold, of McAlester, Okla, a civilized
Choctaw Indian, is now 109 years old
and in the possession of all her facul-
ties. She cooks her own meals, does
her own washing. sews without glasses
and gets about as spryly as a young
woman.
Last year shc>1ost a daughter aged
eighty-seven years, has one daughter
now living aged sixty-six, and two
sons in business, aged, respectively,
fifty eight and fifty-one years. She Is
the granddaughter of Adam Lucas, who
wrote the Dancing Rabbit treaty"
the first treaty ever made between the
United States and the Indians, and is
a direct descendant of the Indians who
welcomed Columbus to this country in
1892. She has seen the progress from
the OK cart to the automobile and the
aeroplane, and from the war whoop
and the tin horn to the wireless teleg-
raphy.

Progressive Finland.

Only 40 per cent of the electors
voted in the elections to the Finnish
Diet. Nevertheless, the results show
no weakening, but rather a strength
ening of their determination to assert
their independence against Russian
autocracy. Ninety Socialists were
elected, thirty-eight "Old Firms"
twenty-nine Young Finns," twenty
five Swedes, and eighteen Agarians.
This is a gain to the Socialists of
four seats, and to the Young Firms of
one seat These two are the most ad-
vanced parties, who have taken the
lead in resisting Russian aggression.
Christian Socialists have been practi-
cally swept out of the Diet.
The number of women representa-
tives has been increased. In 1907 the
Firms first elected twenty-five women
members (out of eoo), but their num-
Der then steadily decreased, until two
years ago there were only fourteen
left. In the next Parliament there will
be twenty-one. The result of the cleo
ton will specially be felt in the COM
mittees where the Socialists will be
predominant.

The Deadly Grade Crossing.

Grade-crossing dangers, from which
the immediate vicinity of Washington
had been fortuitously immune for COM
paratively so long time as to be un-
mindful of a constant menace, were
set close before the eyes of the COM
munity by the horrible tragedy at
Humes Crossing yesterday.
The people OF the Capital had read
OF similar accidents in other parts OF
the country and sighed in pity, rather
than in sympathy. Not many of them
reflected that many such grade cross
ings as have uselessly brought death
in distant places exist within the ter
ritory covered by an hours casual ride
or drive.
There is not as much excuse for
grade crossing as there is for nom
fre-proof hotel or theater, for YES
sci not equipped with life-saving ap-
paratus. for anything, in fact. which
needlessly, for the sake of parsimony,
exposes humanity to danger of death
or injury.
The responsibility for grade cross
ings is shared equally by the public
and the railroads. The public's re-
sponsibility can be discharged by a de-
mand. which, if earnest, will be heed
ed, that the railroads. with whatever
assistance from the public as may be
equitable, shall abolish grade crossings.

Boom in English Marriage Rates.

With the continued boom in trade
the marriage rate in Great Britain at
last has begun to rise, indicating that the
eligible young men of the day are cast
ing off the reproach of being selfish
bachelors. In his quarterly return OF
marriages, births, and deaths, the Reg
lister General shows that the marriages
registered in England and Wales in
the first quarter of the current year
equaled an annual rate of I34 per
1000 This is "a per 1000 above the
average marriage rate in the ten pre-
ceding first quarters, and also SO per
1000 above the rate recorded in the
first quarter of 1912. The total num-
Der Of marriages in the three months
ended March last was 6o,S64, and the
totals of the corresponding quarters of
the preceding ten years were: 1903,
45,5S4; 1904, 44.o6S; 1905, 45,I73; 1906,
45,47S; 1907, 53.oI7; 1908, 47,54S; 1909,
45.oQ4; 1910, 56432; 1911, 44753, and
1912, 44,66I.
Though the total OF the March quar-
ter of this year is record in compari-
son with the above table, it is not a
record or>all quarters OF the year; the
quarter ending with September usually
has the most weddings and that quar-
ter of the last year gave the highest
total-S3,37S-of any quarter in the
last ten years. Births in the second
quarter of the year corresponded to
rate of 24.7 annually per 1000. This is
"A per 1000 below the average birth
rate of the ten preceding second quar-
ters, but o8 per 1000 above the rate
in the corresponding period in 1912.
The death rate in the second quarter
was 1872 per 1000, or 90 per 1000 be-
low the mean rate in ten preceding
second quarters.

Senator Weeks and the Currency Bill.

The resolution of Senator Weeks of
Massachusetts, to postpone currency
legislation until December, brings to a
climax the dissatisfaction with which
the prospect of personally conducted
banking legislation at the present ses-
sion is viewed by men who know
enough of banking to be able to ask
intelligent questions on the subject
Three days of testimony by the leading
bankers of the country have demon
strated the unpreparedness of the COM
mittee to deal with the subject, and
have made it obvious that no bill the
committee is likely to report at present
could command the confidence of the
country. Even the present hearing of
the committee are being given under
the protest of Senators like Bristow,
who pointed out that many Senators
were interested in tariff items that
were coming up in the Senate every
day, and that the committee could not
give proper attention to currency.
The bankers were growing more

pei the evolution of a simpler system Of
land transfer than is yet general.
Such, in brief, is the proposed relation
OF the Fletcher bill to the needs Of the
American farmer. 1t is not a rival TO
the Owen-Glass commercial banking bill;
1t occupies a distinct field OF its own.
Its vast Importance to all business en-
terprises is that it proposes to give a
banking or credit value to an asset
worth SIS, 900, ,OO0ONO. The bill is Senate
200, and should be studied by all inter-
ested in the restoration of the agricul-
ture OF the country and the promotion of
broader and more satisfactory rural
life. GRIDLEY BEDE.

pointed in their testimony as the ques-
tons of the committee were shot at
them. F. ]. Wade, president of the
Mercantile Trust Company, of St
Louis, said to Senator Hitchcock:
'You have taken 60 per cent of the
banking power of the country, but you
have failed to deal with the State
banks, which have built up the nation
through their operations in bonds, rail-
roads, real estate, agriculture, &C.,
which national banks cannot carry on"
1t is the impressive criticism of the
bankers that many of the national
banks will refuse to enter the pro-
posed system, while the State banks
will await the action of the national
banks, thus leaving the whole scheme
to fall down.
Senator Weeks summarized the sit
uation by giving his reasons for intro
ducing his resolution of postponement.
In the first place no emergency
exists requiring the passage of cur
rency bill that has not existed in equal
degree most of the time during the
last two years. The bankers are unani-
nous that no emergency exists. The
Aldrich-Vreeland law will remain in
force until July, 1914, or long after it
will be possible to pass the bill. If
the bill is reported in December it can
be easily disposed of. The Senators
will be in better physical condition
Besides, in December the Senate is
practically idle, waiting for business to
come over from the House, and the
bill can receive proper consideration.
The Chicago bankers conference, and
even the present hearings, have DEM
onstrated that radical changes must be
made in the bill.
A majority OF the committee is in
favor of giving extended hearings and
having before them representative
witnesses who can inform the commit
tee upon all points involved in the
proposed legislation. The inference is
plain that Senator Owen and the ad-
have lost control of the
committee for the time being, and that
the Senate is preparing to resist fur
ther pressure.
