ADDRESS SENT TO SENATE
LONDON REPORTS ON THE AMERICAN AMBAS-
SADOR'S SPEECH WERE GARBLED.
HIS EXACT WORDS ARE GIVEN
Seems if He Handed Salve" to English With Ref
erence to Their Good Fortune on Building of
Panama Canal

WASHINGTON, Mar. 25.-In re-
sponse to Senator George Chamber
lain's resolution demanding the text
of Ambassador Pages speech in Lon
don, Secretary of State Bryan today
sent the speech to the senate. Re
garding the Monroe Doctrine the
speech said:
THE Monroe Doctrine meant this
when 1t was formulated: That the
United States would object to any
European government taking more
land in the new world. In those days
the only way a foreign government
could gain more land was literally to
take it. Now we have more refined
methods OF exploitation and there are
other ways to take it. This Is the only
protest the United States has ever
whispered. You WILL 1 am sure un-
derstand why the United States pre-
fers that no land in the new world
should be acquired in these subtle
ways" -
Regarding the canal Ambassador
Page said in part: But I will say it
adds to the pleasure of building the
canal that the great world will know |
you will profit by it. You will profit
most by 1t for you have the greatest
carrying trade"

received by Sheriff Brown from Mr.
Clifford:
ut is the earnest desire of the state
highway commission to secure a thor
ough registration of all motor vehicles
operating on the public highways of
this state.
From the decision of the supreme
court it appears that the legislature
had the right to exempt such property
from taxation. Consequently, if they
do not register, they are not paying
their just proportion of the tax which
IS raised for the purpose of laying and
highways across the
state.
The law unfortunately does not |

Therefore such counties have

"On this day a grateful nation will

desire to commemorate.
''tFhomas Jefferson was the greatest
constructive statesman whom the
world has ever known; the grandest
warrior that ever battled for human
liberty. He quarried from the noun
tain of eternal truth the four pillars,
upon which all popular government
must stand.

ence, he proclaimed the principles,
without which there cannot be "a gov
srnment of the people, by the people |
Ind for the people, 1t dismembered !!

reedom and equality; it gave us
character abroad and inspired resolu

After a long career of political tri-
mphs and political disasters, our

The Demonstration Trains.

Another feature of the extension
service which has been brought into
prominence by Professor Olin are the
annual demonstration trains in both
north and south Idaho and the farm
ers' movable schools and institutes.
Through this means thousands of peo-
pie have become acquainted with the
universitys work and havd gained
their first ideas, of scientific farm

the university's influence has been
carried by Professor Olin and his
associates into every county Of the

"BREAKING HOME TIES.-

king his last official visit to Moscow in

to me to cooperate with Dean Car

Professor Olin has in the short time

cen made. In three years time he
as made the various sub-stations al ,
lost nationally famous. Under his

LONDON, Mar. 25.-That the AS

For the administration surrender to
army officers who resigned rather
than fight the anti-homerulers, the

Seeley accepted the responsibility and
offered his resignation. The premier
refused it. This Is taken to intimate
that Asquith intended the ministry
