FIippant Philosophy.

When some persons aspire high, they
never get any further than the height
of folly.
Two things are very difficult To
properly use leisure and money at the
same time.
Some persons save up frantically for
a "rainy day"-then some crook steals
their umbrella.
It's all very well to believe only one
half you hear. but be mighty careful
choosing which half.
It's strange, but man would rather
walk down the street with an animated
millinery store than with the most
sclnetillating product OF education.

STATE TREASURER ALLEN
GIVES A BIRTHDAY PARTY

Assessorse and county officials in
Boise were the guests OF State Treas
urer o. v. Allen at a roof garden
party given last night at the Owyhee
hotel. The event was In honor of the
state treasurer's birthday anniversary.
Yesterday afternoon when the state
board of equalization went into a late
session State Treasurer Allen found the
following message the assessors had
placed before him:
Honorable o. v. Allen: Many hap
py returns of the day. May you live
long and serve the people satisfactor-
lily in the future as you have in the
past and never go back in the G. o. p.
Yours, the assessors.
To return the compliment State
a blanket invitation to the assessors,
other county officials and their friends
to be his guests at a roof garden party
that night at the Owyhee. That all
of the county officials were present is
evident from their somewhat fatigued
appearance this morning. The state
treasurer, they declare, entertained
them in royal style.

ENGLAND WILL PERMIT
EXPECTATION OF CARS

London Aug. 19.-Robert P. Skin
ner, the American consul general at
London, today received a communica-
ton from Sir Edward Grey, the Brit
ish foreign secretary, saying that the
British government would permit the
expectation of American owned motor
cars on proper representations being
made to the customs authorities.
The government also is willing, the
foreign secretary said. to allow the re-
turn to the United States of American
bred horses and polo ponies, which are
not needed by the military. though the
question of the military fitness of the
animals must first be decided.
The Boy Scouts have been indispen-
sable to the American relief committee
as messengers and guides but the
broad scope of their usefulness was
proved today when a scout acted as
an Interpreter for Russian woman
who was unable to speak English.

PLAYERS
 ORDER A STRIKE

NEW YORK, July 21.-The Baseball Fraternity. composed of professional baseball players, have ordered all players in the major leagues to strike because of the suspension of Clarence O. Kraft, of the Newark club in the International League. Kraft had been transferred by the Newark club to the Nashville club of the Southern Association. The Nashville club fixed his salary at $13O a month less than it had been in the Newark club, and he refused to agree to the transfer, pre- ferring to hold the Newark club to it's contract with him in spite of the reservation of the right by the con. tracing club to transfer the player. The matter was referred to the Nation al Commission, which ordered Kraft to report to the Nashville club Kraft took the matter up with the Baseball Fraternity which yesterday agreed to stand by the player to the point of or dering q general strike.

WHITE PASS NOT OPPOSED
 TO AUTOMOBILE ROAD

The White Pass is not opposed to the building of an automobile wagon road from Skagway to Whltehorse, ac- cording to a statement made by Pres ident O. l.. Dickeson, of that company, to the Skagway Alaskan, Mir. Dicke' son says:
 "The w. P. & Y. R.. never have, are not now, and do not expect in the future to oppose or restrict in any way whatsoever the proposed construction of an automobile road from Skagway to Summit. Quite to the contrary while the Bracket wagon road cost the company approximately S1OO,OOO, we surrendered our rights, except to such portions as are occupied by the railway right of way. without any pro test. This should not in any way in- terfere with the construction of an au- tomobile road. We have also assisted the parties making tentative survey by giving them free access to our rec ords in respect to surveys"

WINDY ARM MINES
 MAY CHANGE HANDS

SKAGWAY, July 19.-If the expert investigation that is now going on of the mines in the mining district at the lower eastern side of Lake Ben nett and on the Little Windy Arm is of a favorabel nature the properties will be taken over by the Canadian Mining and Exploration Co.,, Ltd, in the next few months and unlimited capital furnished for their develop. ment.
 These mines have had considerable work done upon them already, being included in the properties exploited a few years ago by Col. J. H. Conrad with money furnished by Mckenzie & Mann, the great Canadian railroad builders.
 William Wallace Mein, consulting engineer, and Ralph Stokes, assistant consulting engineer, have been for several weeks making thorough and comprehensive examination of these mines for the above named company, and 1t will depend altogether upon their report whether the properties will be taken over or not.-Skagway Alaskan.

FRAME MOVEMENT IN
 STATE OF COLLAPSE

The practically complete collapse of the movement for a convention of the alleged organization of the Frame alleged Democrats at Valdez, July 30, next to the universal interest that is being taken in the Skagway Democrat ic convention, is the most marked po- litical development of the last few weeks. In spite of the publicity given the so-called Progressive Democratic convention" at Ketchikan, wherein delegates to the aforesaid Frame con. vention were elected, word comes from the First City that there was no representation outside of Ketchikan at that convention" that, so far as can be learned, no primary or caucus to select delegates to that "conyen- tion" was called or held in any pre- cinct in the First division except in Ketchikan, that Tess than a dozen" were present at the caucus there, and that those who were present were in session just -four" minutes.
 The same lack of interest in the al legged Frame organization that char acterlzes the First division is pre- vallent elsewhere in Aalska. So far as can be learned there are no sup porters at all for 1t in the Second or Fourth Divisions, and none outside of one or two precincts in the Third, and "very little there"
 Practically all of those who particl. pated in the Martin Harrais campaign of two years ago are actively working with the regular organization in all four of the Judicial divisions. At Fair. banks Martin Harrais, himself, R. F. Roth, E. w. Griffin, J. Fl. Caskey (whose paper, the Citizen, supported Harrais) and others of the Harrais faction are delegates to the Skagway convention, and working in harmony with other Fairbanks Democrats who supported Judge R. W. Jennings in that campaign.
 Representative N. J. Svinseth, who was nominated by the so-called Ret. chikan convention for Representative, is one of those who has signed the call for a primary at Wrangell to elect delegates to the Skagway convention.
 In fact, the evidence is that Dele gate James Wickersham would have no traffic with the Frame Progressive Democrats" and direct information has been received from him by friends in Juneau that he will not accept a nomination from them.

MIME. CAELLAUX
 TESTIFltS FOR SELF

PARIS, July 21.-The trial of, Rime. sHenrietta Caillaux, wlfes of former Minister of Finance Joseph Caillaux. began here yesterday. Mime. Caillaux made a sensational but strong witness in her own behalf Her defense is three fold, and includes brain storm" or emotional insanity, justiiable hon. iclde, and lack of purpose to kill and unnecessary death resulting from im' proper medical attention.
 Mime. Caillaux, describing the ag- onIes she suffered from the attacks on her husband by Gaston Calmette, ed itor of Figaro, In his newspaper, and the threatened attack upon her pri- vate life, said that she for three months mounted Calvary and suffered all the tortures of the crucified Christ. q feared for my husband, for my child for myself"; I feared for myself because ir parts of those letters were published my innermost secret would be displayed before the world; my wo- mans honor would stand stripped and naked"
 Mime. Caillaux said that she had not meant to kill Calmette when she called upon him; she meant to stop the publications against hereself. She said, further, that she did not mean to kill Calmette when she shot.
 Physicians will try to fortify the tes-. timony of Mme. Caillaux that she did not mean to kill Calmette by giving expert testimony that he would have lived had he had proper medical at- tention.

WASHINGTON.
