They Like
Brady.
Primary Vote Constitutes
Splendid Endorsement of the
Junior Senator.

A striking evidence of the con-
hdence which the people ofIdaho
repose in senator Brady is shown
bv the vote given him at the re-
cent primary. The thinking peo-
pie realize that he has accomplish
ed much of practical benefit to
the state. and his record in Con
sress has been so acceptable to
them that thev will return him
this tall with an Overwhelming
majority.
This endorsement is more evi.
dent when it is remembered that
he had as his opponents three of
the most prominent citizens OF
the state. James F. Ailshie has
served as Supreme Justice OF Ida
ho for twelve years, Frank r.
Gooding has served as governor
of the state for four years, while
Burton l.. French has served sew
eral terms in Congress.
Receiving two votes to his near
est competitors one, there is
justification in the belief that the
people OF Idaho appreciate the
exceu~nt work of Senator Brady
has done in Washington for his
constituents, and they feel it is
we'll to follow in the footsteps
of the people of some OF the older
states-after placing a man in
the Senate. to permit him to re-
main there. They know that the
longer the service, the better will
be the Senator's committee as
signments-and that is where the
real work OF a Senator is done.
The people of the state general
ly realize that Senator Borah and
Senator Brady work in perfect
harmony, one a brilliant lawyer
and the other an excellent busi-
ness mana combination that
can surely get results.

Practical Morality

There is much comment of late
regarding morality of Americans
The American people are more
moral and law-abiding today
than at any previous time in his
tory. The great captains of in.
dustry and the average American
man and woman is more moral
than at any previous time. Much
OF this is undoubtedly due to a
higher criterion of business and
social morality; but beyond a
doubt, much of this greater SEN
sibility to higher standards OF
conduct is due to the American
public school system, which has
tor the last generation taken a
greater interest in morals and
manners as part of the training
given to the boys and girls.
While sectarionism and theolo.
gy are naturally eliminated from
the courses, morality is essentu
ally part of the course; and in
fact. character building IS the
fundamental purpose of all mod
ern education. This tendency is
today more pronounced than ev.
er before. The public schools in
stead of being hotbeds of a)tru.
ism and immortality as has been
claimed by some wrong minded
pessimists, are today the hope of
the republic; and not only of this
nation. but of the world.
Through our schools and their
training, we stand today as the
most enlIs shtened nation upon
the earth, and consequently the
most peaceful. The wars and
schisms OF the Old World can
have no place here, as our meth
DDS of thinking and doing are
different here; and our acts and
thoughts are the outgrowths of
a high moral sense, fostered and
trained by the public schools of
America.

The Attitude
of Turkey.

Turkey seems to the impartial
observer te be blaying a very
dangerous game OF diplomacy.
She seems to be favoring Germany
but fear to make a move, because
of the watchfulness of Italy and
the Balkan nations. The Rus
sian victories in Galicia seems al.
so to have had their effect. While
she has taken no hand as vet in
the conflict, It is not hard to pre-.
d ct that because of her unneut-
raj attitude that she will find
friends amongst the great powers
conspicuous by their absence if
she should get into diplomatic
difficulties after the present war
is over. We anticipate reprisals
upon Turkey by the Allies. AS
for her abrogation of treaties
and concessions with the United
States and with American con-
Germs, we trust that while the
government may be firm, yet
that we may not be drawn into
the war. Such result would be
much worse than letting the
matter 60 by default for the pre-.
sent to be settled definitely later
when war no longer sways the
world.
The Turkish minister has been
very indiscreet in his speeches
and utterances to the press; but
possibly not more so than some
of the belligerents, who in several
cases have gone beyond proper
bounds i'll striving to arouse par
tisanship in the United States.
AS our president has wisely said
it is tor us to be neutral in word
and deed. Whatever our previous
nationality may have been, we
are now Americans, and we
should regard the European i'm
broglio as being none of our
personal business; most certain
ly we should not display heated
partisanship.

Frost Prevention.

Frost Injuries fruit trees and
gardens frequently in southern
Idaho, and a discussion OF frost
prevention may be timely, as
much damage is done to some OF
our best crops. Our fall seasons
are usually so good for several
weeks alter our first killing frost
that If some means of preventing
the effects of this frost could be
contrived, that we would have d
much longer growing season, es-
pecially tor vegetables. Some
methods OF fighting frosts are ex-
plosives, smudges, and heating
devices.
Explosives have been used with
great success in Austria, France
and Italy i'll the grape regions.
Mortars were used to send explo
sives into the air, to prevent the
cold frosty air from settling.
Smudges are common method
of fighting frosts. The thick
black smoke where this has been
consistently followed in the mai
ority of cases has prevented frost
Fires i'll wire baskets, scattered
about the gardens and orchards
are efficient means OF keeping
back the frost.
Oil heaters of Il patented device
have done good work in Califor
MIA citrus orchards.

Advises Use OF
Lime.

Mr.. H. Nj. Camp, who is ack
nowledged as an expert on sol
conditions i'll statement issued
throuhg the Lime Service Bureau
of Washington, reminds us that
the worlds supply of potash is
obtained from Germany. and that
with this source of supply cut
of by the European war, that
there will inevitably follow a fa-
mine OF this material as soon as
present stocks are exhausted.
The price of potash has already
mounted skywards. AS potash
is a soil essential, the predicted
famine bids fair to be serious
matter to our agricultural inter-
ests. Mr. Camp says that lime,
in addition to valuable action IN
neutralizing the soil activity and
supplying the needed calcium for
plant growth, has the property
OF rendering soluble and availa-
bic to plant life the store of inert
potash III the soil, and he there.
fore concludes that by the appli-
cation of lime to the soil will re-
lease the potash.

Albion State
Normal.
Alumni Association Refute
the Arguments put forth by
Sissons for closing of Normal

We are in receipt of notable
little pamphlet issued by the AL
umni of the Albion State Normal
School. 1t gives a cIear-cut ex.
position of the stand of the Nor.
NAL students, former Normal
students; and of the people Of
Southern Idaho generally upon
the proposed new system of State
Board of Education, in which the
Albion Normal is to be abandon
ed. The little book clearly shows
that the most common argument
for abolishing the Normal for
reasons OF economy are in reality
tallacious, as the actual amount
saved would be so in6nitesimal
compared with the great advan-
tages now accruing to the State
from the Albion Nofmal in the
splendid young men and women
turned into the public schools OF
the state from the students Of the
Albion Normal School. The act
ual saving is too small to be
worthy OF notice.
In regard to accessibility, the
school is now but eight miles
from the nearest railroad point;
and in reality, this institution is
very much more accessible than
the state University or the Lew.
iston Normal for the people OF
Southern Idaho. Furthermore.
the Albion Normal is doing a
work in Southern Idaho which
cannot be done to advantage
under the new proposed system.

MEMPHIS FINALLY GAINS DECISION IN
 SERIES WITH BARONS
Birmingham Drop Series After Going Through Twelve With out Reversa-Crackers Are Here for Telling Series
 Hardgrove and Dent Are Slated to Pitch
By REUBEN A. LEWIS

THE concerted efforts of Buck
 OBrien and Ben Karr have
 x halted Birmingham's record spurt. After contesting 12 series with out suffering, the loss of a decision the Barons have been humbled in two out of three games by the lowly Tur- ties. The series with Memphis is the first that the Birmingham team has dropped since Atlanta took four out of five games in the eventful clashes beginning July 13.
 In the 12 preceding series, 10 have been won. while even breaks were secured in two sets of games. Fol lowing the loss to Atlanta, Nashville won and lost two games. Three se- ries were won by defeating Chatta- nooga, Memphis and Atlanta. Then the Mobile club evened up Follow ing the division of four games. the last seven series have accrued to Bir- mingham--New Orleans. Montgomery, Mobile, New Orleans, Montgomery Nashville and Chattanooga falling in order named.
 The Crackers are six and a half games behind the Barons. But withal, the Smithmen feel that they are not out of the running, for after the three battles in Birmingham. Atlanta re- turns home for 19 games. Thus the Crackers have 2 encounters on the schedule before the 1914 curtain falls. Six double headers are included among the 19 struggles.
 Birmingham and Atlanta are bat ting on nearly even terms Fifteen games have been played this season between the two rival clubs. Seven battles have fallen to the Barons, while Atlanta has won eight On Rick wood the Crackers have taken five and dropped four, while an even three- sthree break has occurred on the At- lanta field. However. Birmingham has registered 63 runs, against her oppo- nents' 60. The Barrons have registered 12l hits to 11s but have fielded more erratically. scoring P errors against Atlanta's 2.

Memphis, August 3O-tSpecial 1.-The Turtles put a crimp in the pennant as- pirations of the Barons by taking the first game of double header today and holding Molesworths crew to six inning tie in the second. As has frequently been the case with the baseball skirmishes on the Sabbath and especially when the Bar ons Were the Turtles opponents the game went to extra innings, Films club finally getting the verdict in the eleventh frame through singles by Allison Coyle and Mccormick.
 The Turtles took a two-run lead in the first inning and had the Barons on the defensive, but they made game but in- effectual struggle to win contest which had quite a bearing on the Southern league championship race Molesworth wedged himself into the game in the role of Colonel Pinch in the sixth frame and almost put the game on ice with timely single to centerfield and only Allison's accurate throw to the home plate, which extinguished Mcbride, kept the Barons from carrying off victory

grove. Hardgrove has not been espe- cially effective against Atlanta, but should hold the Smithmen well in check. Elliott Dent or Browning will likely pitch for Atlanta Preacher Perryman and Carl Thompson are ex- pected to pitch Tuesday and Wednes- day, respectively. Curley Brown the leader of the Barons, will serve dur ing the series.
 Atlanta's marvellous batsmen have fizzled out. Harry Holland. the third baseman, is the only Cracker slugging over the 300 mark. However, Tommy Long looms dangerously near the three century record. Outfielder Holden, purchased from the New York Amer jeans, has notified Atlanta that he will reach Birmingham in time to play this afternoon. He will operate in right field.
 When the Barons return, Second Packer Danny Clark will occupy place on the bench. He will not re- place any of the regulars. unless one of the mis injured. Clark has been recalled in order that he may profit by a few days observation of Class A baseball. It is thought that his only handicap Is lack of experience.
 Catcher Andreen, the recruit from the Central association. arrived at a timely moment in Memphis. George Schlei the veteran catcher, had finger injured in the first game and the rookie was forced to don his tog- gerry and catch the remaining innings. He also received the second game, with Jack Kimbell, another recruit, pitching. Allison was the only marks
 
 twice.
 The slump of the Lookouts fails a solution. Even before the loss of Man ager Harry Mccormick, the Chatta- nooga club vas losing game after game With Caveny in the struggle at shortstc. the team seems just as strong as at the outset. when the Lookouts proved dangerous contenders
