THE ER-SCHOLASTIC TRACK
MEET

We do not perhaps often think oil
mate branches of extension work for
the university, but they are certainly
potent factors in carrying the universe
ty spirit, ideals, and achievements to
many quarters of the state and result
every year in substantial increases in
the enrolment of students. AS an
evidence that the meets bring boys to
the university it may be pointed out
that almost every member of the pres
ent university track team was at some
time during his high school course an
athlete sent here to represent his
school in one or more of the field day
events in an interscholastic meet.
But the attractions of the university
draw not only the boys who have the
good fortune to come here in May to
take part in the meet but many of their
class mates at home, who, through
them, become interested in the uni
versity and familiar with it's work and
teachers. We are told that immediate
ly after the first interscholastic track
meet ever so many school houses here
and there in the state were decorated
for the first time with photographs of
the campus, the buildings, and, most
important to the boy, of the athletic
coaches, the athletes of the university,
and of all those concerned in promot-
ing the success of the meet. The uni
versity became, through the agency of
this capital scheme of annually bring
Ing representatives of many high
schools here in May, household word
where before it had been a myth.
The task of planning for the suitable
entertainment and accommodation of
all these fine young lads is herculean.
Those who have the management in
hand should be cordially assisted in
every way possible in order that no
hospitable and kindly thing may be
left undone for lack of some one to do
it, The opportunity of becoming ac-
quainted with the sort of young men
that Idaho is turning out of its high
schools is sufficient reward for any
pains to which we may put ourselves.

TOday's Birthday HOnOrs.

Juiana Wilhemna, princess of
Orange was born April 80, 1909. She
is the only child of Queen Wilhelmina
of the Netherlands and Prince Henry
of Mecklenburb-S chwerin. The little
princess is well beloved by her people,
for she is friendly and full of sun
chine, and with her royal mother is
frequently to be seen in the public
places of Holland bowling and smiling
to her subjects. The coming of the
princess was regarded as a great
by the patriotic people of the
and each birthday is
made fete day in her honor. She is
the heir apparent to the throne, but
will lose that right should the stork in
the future bring her baby brother.

EFFICIENCY.

A man for whose remarks and opin-
ions we have a good deal of respect
has been telling us some interesting
things about the details of admins
tration of the many schools in this and
other states, which it is his custom to
visit He says that the position we take
in regard to defining the duties of a
high school principal is in accord with
the universal practice of the well adj
ministered schools with which he is
acquainted When he wishes to adj
dress the high school student body,
secure statistics about enrolment, class
work, courses of study, and the record
of high school teachers, he does bus
mess, not with the city superintendent,
but with the principal of the high
school. Even when, either by accident
or design, he first takes up any high
school matter with a city superinten-
dent, that officer always refers him i'm
mediately to the high school principal
for the desired permission or informa-
ton, with the definite statement that
all affairs pertaining in any particular
or to any degree to the management
of the high school are totally out of
his province and are in the exclusive
field of the high school principal, who
may or may not later consult him on
the subject. By this means the respon-
sibility of properly administering a
high school is definitely and unmis-
takably fixed upon the man hired ex-
press1y to discharge those duties.
1t is difficult for man trained in
country chools and accustomed to the
of country schools to grasp
this simple but fundamental principle
of successful administration of city
schools. 1t is the constant temptation
of a man who has been professor"
of a country school 10 regard himself
as the one and only person to whom
every school matter should be referred. |
These provincial views work havoc in
city schools.
1t is the first aim of men versed in
scientific management and in the adj
of large and complicated
affairs 50 to organize their several de-

HOW THE STRIKE STARTED
Some Tales OF Events in the Mexican
War Zone.
By William G. Shepherd.


! VERA CRUZ, Apr. 30.-Why jim
Montague-that is not his real name

Monterey goes like this:
Yellow fever appeared in the city
and, of course, the first effort of the
doctors was to guard against Its
spread. They ordered champagne fol
those persons who were rich enough
to afford it to increase heart action
and thereby ward off chances of get
ting the disease. For the Mexican
poems were ordered small doses of
Stlychnine, and Montague, before his
miners went to work of mornings,
used to line them up in rows and have
the mine doctors give each man a
spoonful of strychnine solution.
Word got about among the Mexicans
that Montague was trying to poison
his miners. One of the Mexicans by
stealth get hold of the bottle of strych-
nine to see what it was A hundred

dog ate a piece of meat over which
the contents of full bottle had been
poured A moment later a hundred
Mexicans say Chiahuhua dog turn up
it's toes and died.
The strike began that night and it
took two weeks for Montague to prove
that he was not a wholesale "gringo"
poisoner.
Cheered German GunbOat.
When the old German warship
Economically nothing more than a
scout ship, now owing to her age
steamed into Vera Cruz harbor among
the Yankee gunhoats the other day,
many and many cheer of recognition
went up from some of the old Yankee
seadogs.
What are you cheering for?" an old
Yankee captain was asked
Reminds me of funny incident
he answered. when we were of
China during the Boxer trouble, we lay
for weeks, in the combined navy, wit Il
out anything to do. Finally the ad-
miral took it into his head that We
ought to lave practice. To our sur
prise, as our five ships steamed away, |
the German warships in the harr'r
swung around and followed us. &C |
where we would that day, we couldn't |
shake them. They hung on in long |
solid stubborn line.
The next day we were ordered out |
again and again the Germans, with |
stubborn persistence, followed us. new

After four days of this, We got mad and
the American officers sent over to the |
German ships note in which they |

The answer back to us, in person. They

grounds we do. We've been following

asked.

INTEREST GROWS IN Y. P. S
LEAGUE

Last Friday night the Everett Y, P.
S. league held their third meeting.
After a short business session the en-
tertainment committee took charge
and gave very good program,
The program, which was one of the
best, held so far, was followed by box
ing and games.
Nearly everybody present took part
in some of the games, and everybody
thoroughly enjoyed themselves,
About five or six visitors became
members, thereby swelling our ranks
to about fifty-five members.
Everything seems to be coming our
way and we will soon have one of the
best leagues in the state.

street. Subject, Tactics. The Social
list party Is formed for the express
purpose of educating the members of
the working class to their true posi-
tion In society in order to establish
the cooperative commonwealth. The
of the cooperative com
monwealth will be a revolution. In
other words, II will be a complete
change from one system OF society to
another How this change will be
brought about will depend on condi-
lions. Today we advocate peaceful
revolution by means of the ballot. II
we are compelled to take other meth
DDS we will do So The capitalist own
ership OF the means OF wealth produc-
ton is the only cause OF present day
evils. We are forced to accept the
masters terms in order to live.
Should we endeavor to take those
things necessary for our maintenance,
or try to use the means of production
for ourselves, the armed forces Of the
state would be used against us The
master class controls the fighting
forces They are enabled to use those
forces through their control of the
political machine-which they hold by
the votes of the class they rob. The
working class must capture the state
in order to abolish capitalist owner
ship. We must not tinker with the eff
fects of the present system or try to
reform it by helping the capitalist
class to run 1t. Government owner
ship under capitalist administration
can in no way benefit the workers
and the advocacy of such, can only
further delude the workers. Political
action is the action necessary for the
overthrowing of the rule of capital.
Any action taken to cut the chains
of slavery from the working class is
political action. Political action is
generally confounded with parliament
tarism, and were it not for this a lot
of squabbling would be cut out. In
dustrial unionists and Socialists test
their strength against the capitalist
class in order to get line on things.
Sometimes they use the strike and
sometimes the ballot. Sooner or later
one of these methods will result in
the overthrow of capital but in the
meantime a lot of pick an shovel
work will have to be done in order to
educate the workers to their true posi-
ton in society.
Next Sunday we review the subjects
treated during the past weeks Com
rades not having a clear understand
ing of these subjects are requested to
attend and any questions they wish
to have more light upon will be dis
cussed II. w, WATTS,

LOCAL MAIDEN ISSUES
OPEN LETTER TO VOTERS
RESULTS AS SHOWN At THE

From the secretary OF Local Maiden
comes a report of the town election
held recently. Previous to election
day the comrades addressed an open
letter to the voters. which we repro
duce below:
by Their Deeds You May Know
Them"
When the Socialist ticket was elect
ed two years ago It was with the
knowledge that the ordinances regulat-
ing saloons and pool halls and the
wiping out of the segregated district
would be enforced This was accom-
plished on December %, 1913, and
though we have been in the minority
we still have tried to enforce what
we had accomplished
Now, listen! On November 3, 1914,
you voted a dry majority OF sixty-four
in this town of Maiden. which meant
a vote against the saloon and all the
evils that go with IT,
Now. you Maiden voters, did you
mean 1t when you voted that way, or
were deceiving yourselves into think
ing your vote last November cover
the period from January /, 1915, to
January l, 1916, when the law takes
effect? If you are sincere and wish
the saloon to stay in their proper
places and the pool hall ordinances
enforced, then vote for the men that
have been tried and found true. Vote
for the record OF December %, 1919.
But, II you want a wide-open town
selling booze on Sunday, etc. In fact
dropping back to the same conditions
as prevailed three years ago, then vote
against the Socialist ticket and the
so-called purity squad"
We have no intention OF harrasslnf
the saloons and pool halls or any 9th
er business ~ long as they are con
Quoted in q legitimate manner, bu
will not stand for a violation OF tht

We have done more street work fol
