]. H. WISE
IS OUT FOR JUDGE
PROMINENT TWIN FALLS ATTOR
NEY PUT FORWARD AS SUIT
ABLE MAN FOR BENCH.

James H. Wise, Twin Falls lawyer,
was over this way on Wednesday and
returned home yesterday morning.
Mr.. Wise is the first of the candidates
for the judgeship in TIE fourth judicial
district to be announced. He was
groomed for the vacancy Of the bench
at the time the Judge Stockslager got
it by gubernatorial appointement.
That was when political calculations
jumped a cog with the election Of a
Democrat as Governor The lawyer
lost none of his popularity by that
miscarriage OF the plans Of his friends,
who have always considered him the
right sort Of judicial timber. Now
they are entering him for a commits
sion direct from the voters.
His friends include all sorts and
conditions Of mankind. He is a
mighty square man at that and has
opinions of his own and was never &C
cused OF being afraid TO express them.
Fer instance he is a staunoh republi-
can although reared in the democratic
atmosphere of the South. and a tenn
perance advocate through and through
as well although his environments
have been otherwise.
It has been largely his influence
that has made the Twin Falls country
about four to one for the maintenance
and enforcement Of the prohibition law
and the very Gibralter Of the temper
ance cause in Idaho. And yet he is
not a fnatic on the liquor question at
ALL at is bad business" he says, 'and
I stand for its suppression in county
units and state units and nation units
want nobody to misunderstood me on
this matter I am for the protection
Of the homes, the wives and children,
that liquor seeks to destroy. Ny po-
sition in this is not Inconsistent 1
hope, with the views of my party in
the matter Of protection in tariff laws
for the benefit of wage earners- 1t
strikes me the helpless ones need pro-
lection first" Mr.. Wise is a promi-
nent member of the Masonic frater-
nifty.
There are two judges to elect this
year from this district. Judge Wal
ters. who has worn the robes of the
exalted office for eight years, can have
another hominaiios If he zc dssires 3,

debating teams for the contest this
spring. Watch for announcements.
Delno McMahon has been absent
from school for the past two weeks,
due TO illness.
The Declamatory contest held Fri
day evening in the High School Au-
ditorium was a complete success. The
sum of thirty one dollars was taken
in, which covered the cost of medals
and other expenses. The winners of
the three medals were. James Hunter
first, Lenora Noble second, and Viora
Gwin third.
By the adoption of the Palmer writ
ing system, a wonderful amount of in
terest has been developed in penman-
ship. The Palmer system gives but
tons and certificates for a certain
amount of penmanship done by each
student Our students are enthusiast
tic over the work and deserve a great
deal of credit for the efforts they are
putting forth. Some of the most ad-
vanced students in penmanship are
working for certificates while the 9TH
ers, who just begun the Palmer sys-
tenn this year, are working for buttons.
The boys of the High School manual
training class are making a cabinet for
the physics apparatus.
Wednesday evening, Mrs. Bert Bow
Ter, who had charge of the declama-
tory contest, entertained the contes-
tants. A very pleasant evening was
enjoyed by all. Some say that James
almost lost his big gold medal that
night, that the less fortunate contes-

The Ccncordia debating club is anX-
iously awaiting the new high school
pennant, which is to be presented to
them by the rival society. This is the
result of a ticket selling contest be-
tween the two clubs. The winners
sold about double as many tickets for
the Declamatory contest as their oppo-
nents.
The typewriting department is the
the scene of great striving among the
students for the first place as a typist.
Miss Hulse gives a test at the end of
each week and each month, according
TO the rules Of the international type
writing association. All the printed
matter for these tests is furnished by
the association. The students write
under shields new matter for ten
minutes. The gross words are count
ed. For each error five words are de-
Quoted from total number of words.
The following are counted as errors:
Striking wrong letters, improper spac-
ing, omission of word, transpositiOn
Of words or letters, piling letters at
the end of line or elsewhere, failure
to commence line at starting point
deviation from copy in punctuation,
paragraphing, capitalizing, ETC., in
clined margin caused by improper
insertion of paper, etc, faulty use of
shift key. The number of letters null
tiplied by FIVE gives the penalty; this
subtracted from gross words gives net
words, and this divided by the time
gives words per minute. The rank of
last week was as follows: Charles
Gwin first, twenty-one words a min
ute: Lois Miller second, nineteen and
four-fifths words per minute, and Ma
omi Hansen third, nineteen and three
tenths words per minute. The highest
in rank of last months test was. Ma

per minute.

QUICKER TIME EAST AND WEST
Mails From the East now Arrive on

Q OQdSk tWCtlNy GOuf TlOAFo GGFitGTa
As a result of a speed war between
the Burlington-U U nion Pacifc-South-
ern Pacific combination and the Santa
Fe route, for mail contracts between
New York City and Pacific coast
points, mail from New York now
reaches the Pacific coast about twen-
ty-four hours ahead of the old sched-
ule and the Hartman line retains its
contract for carrying the fast mails.
Western cities are benefited by the
new schedule. This announcement
has been made by the officials of the
railway mail service and the postofice
officials.
The decision of the government to
route and through mails over the Har-
riman system between the Atlantic
seaboard and the Pacific coast. through
Chicago. Omaha and ogden. was made
after two weeks of trial service, which
was found to be such an improvement
that the service was ordered to be
made permanent.
Under the new arrangement practi-
cally all points west of the Missouri
river are benefited, especially Salt
Lake, Ogden, San Francisco and Port
land. New York aud eastern mails
now reach these cities nearly a full
day earlier than by the schedule
which has just been abandoned.
By the new arrangement San Fran

ceive TWO fast mails day instead Of
one as heretofore. Mail which former
