| The same Chautauqua program
which is now being presented in 20
California towns by the Ellison White
System is to be given in Boise July
to 8 inclusive, with the addition of
DR.. Gunsaulaus. The season opened
June at Auburn, Calf, and new
Chautauqua on the system has opened
every day since, as there are six run
ming at time, with a total of 60 in
California, Washington, Idaho and
Montana. Press reports from Au
burn, Lodi, Modesto, Fresno, MERGED
and others are unanimous in the YER
dict that the outlay of good things
this year is even better than that of
last, good as that was. The Dunbar
Ladies Singing Orchestra is captur-
ing popular fancy of Chautauqua au-
diences. The band and grand opera
company are drawing the largest au
diences, but every town reports that
the one big, bigger, biggest hit of all
is none other than DR.. Thomas f.
Green, in his world-famous lecture,
1.-The Burden of the Nations He
seems to have struck the popular
chord in this lecture, as he has never
done before In fact, it is doubtful
if any lecturer in generation has
succeeded so marvelously in opening
up a new world of ideas to his audi
ences as DIR. Green is doing on his
present tour.

Socialist

"We, the Socialist party of the stat
of Idaho, renew our allegiance to thu
international program of socialism.
Labor alone produces all wealth
We propose that laborers alone
should have all wealth.
"No man has an inherent right to
employ another and make profit of
his labor. We propose that he shall
have no such legal right.
"Our candidates when elected, shall
always and everywhere, until the pres
ent system is abolished, make this
question their guiding rule of conduct.
Will this proposed Legislation or ac-
ton advance the interests of the
working class and aid the workers in
their class struggle?' If it will, the
elected Socialist is strenuously for it;
if it will not, he is and shall be abb
opposed to it."

In Oregon, where they have been
tried out more often than elsewhere,
the initiative and referendum. it is
said, are falling into disfavor. Here
is an admission by the Portland Ore
CONAN: "We in Oregon know only too
well how some people sign petitions.
We know it TO our cost. The free and
easy method Of initiating and refer
ending bills has so numbered up our
ballots with all the freak ideas of ill
balanced minds that it is impossible
for the majority Of voters to form a
Judgment on all of them. Half of
the voters in disgust refuse to go to
the polls and, of the half who do go,
many refuse to vote on these ques-
tons. OF those who do vote, an in
creasing number vote mo- to be on the
safe side"
