when he was called to the presidency
of w. S. c. in 1898.
Every Brick Laid Since he Came
The College, though vast in poten-
uallties, was short on actualities.
President Bryan at once set out to
raise the standard of scholarship, TO
erect new buildings, and build up
the student body, with the result that
W. 5. c. today has higher entrance
requirements than many great east
ern universities, has a splendid set
OF buildings, not one brick of which
was on the campus in 1898, and u
bona fide student body of 100. The
indomitable spirit OF President
Bryan has been throughout the
whole period the greatest single fac
tor in the attainment of it all.
With regard to the choice of
new president the actuality of which
is probably still many months ahead,
little can be said.
President Bryan, in chapel Tues
day reviewed before the student body
his reasons for resigning. He
stated that he had chosen this time
because the sky was cIoudless all
danger of the consolidation of CON
troll of the state institutions under
a single board of regents being over,
and that the new man should be in
office some length of time before the
fight for a tax levy in 1917.
The president then gave some in
teresting historical facts concerning
his connection with the institution,
to which he came as president in
1898, two years after its foundation.

Reasons for Resignation

The reasons for the president s
resignation are perhaps best set
forth in the words of his letter TO
the Board of Regents, which fol-
lows:

hitting labor have the satisfaction Of

student body, a good annual income

dowment. enjoying the confidence
and support of the citizens of this
commonwealth. So far as | can dis
cover, there is neither internal fric-
ton nor external danger to the insti-

such oment, when the sky is clear

looked forward to for release from
this, my life's work, for such mo-
ments do not come frequently in the
strenuous life of a college president.
Il have given you a year in
which to select my successor,
knowing that such task is delicate
and difficult one which requires de-
liberation both on your part and on
the part of those you would consider
for so responsible a position. This
will in particular permit persons
whom you might invite to do so to
visit the college next summer dur
ing the San Francisco Exposition
without undue cost to anyone.
II can not make this announce
ment without a profound sense OF
the deep obligation l owe to you and
your predecessors in office, to my
colleagues during these past years,
to my children the alumni of the
college, and to the citizens of this
commonwealth for the loyal and un-
swerving support l have received"

A few words concerning the re-
markable career OF President Bryan

He recalled the fact that once before
he had desired to resign, saying:

that time there was no compact as to

In my opinion it is desirable that
my successor be we'll acquainted with
the needs of the institution before
the struggle is resumed in 1917 for
an adequate levy in state taxation.
The mill tax from which we enjoy
the appropriation for maintenance of
the college was established to run

campaign must be waged to fix again

my successor must be acquainted

Judge has a judicial temperament,
that he is high minded, true to the

IT is a noteworthy fact that
every constitutional amend
ment proposed in Idaho since
statehood has been adopted,
and on every one of them a
very small vote was polled.
People do not pay enough
attention to such things.
In 1905 an amendment was
adopted limiting the state tax
levy to ten mills. Many Of
the people, who voted for
that amendment, did not
know what they were voting
for. They did not know that
they were empowering the
state board to place upon the
taxpayers additional burdens
whenever it SO pleased. This
was because they did not
know that prior to the adop-
ton of that amendment the
state tax limit, regulated by
the assessed valuation, was
only five mills. By voting to
raise the limit they voted to
increase their taxes whenever
those in power see fit to ask
tor more money. Are the
voters going to do it again?
A vote next Nov. 3 to in
crease the number of supreme
court judges from three to
five is vote to Increase state
taxes. The increase in the
number of judges is not
necessary and the amendment
should be voted down.

THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.

board. In considering this matter 1t
should be borne in mind that the
state land board has been in the
control OF the Republican party for a
great many years and that the oppo-
sition, are always trying to f1nd some.
thing out Of which to make political
capital, and their favorite sources of
attack are the state loans. Through
a wise Republican policy the state of
Idaho has now nearly 1000, 900 out
standing in farm loans at a rate of
interest of per cent. These loans
have been of inestimable value and
benefit TO the farmers of this state.
1t has enabled them to secure $3, 000,-
900 worth Of cheap money and it has
assisted them very materially in de-
veoping the farming resources of the
state.
Republican state boards Of land
commissioners have most remarka-
BILE record in regard to these leans.
The state has never lost single
dollar by reason of them. So care
fully have these loans been made and
so ample has been the security
accepted that the state has been re-
CURED to foreclose but a few of these
mortgages. After the mortgages
were forecosed the state was able to
resell the land at great profit and is
now more than $40, 900 ahead on such
transactions.
AS regularly as campaign year
rolls around, the Democratic party
and its allies come forward with an
alleged expose OF the mismanagement
in handling state funds. 1t will be
recalled that the Democratic cam
paign orators were particularly ag-
gressive along this line, but their
prophecies have proven false.
Here are some things that our
Democratic campaigners never tell
the people of the state:
l. That the Republican state land
board is assisting the farmers of this
state by leaning them nearly $780,
600 at per cent interest.
2. That these loans are earning
the state OF Idaho approximately
5000, 900 per year, which goes to the
support of our common schools and
public institutions.
3. That the state of Idaho has
never lost single dollar by reason of
these loans.
4. That in the few instances where
the state has been compelled to fore
close the land has been resold at
profit Of more than $4,000 to the
state of Idaho.
5. That there is 20 loaning COM
pany in the world hut that makes an
occasional bad loan, but the state of
Idaho, doing business of So, 900, OOc,
has not lost single dollar and on the
other hand is $4,000 to the good.

My earliest recollections were OF a
pretty, coy home in fair country
which had heard called England.
Our home was happy but for one
thing, we were only allowed to
worship one way and much discon-
tent was caused among the Puritans.
And then one day heard my father
tell my mother we we're going to
Holland.
Where Holland was did not
know, but l was eager for anything
which promised adventure. So
short time afterward, with many
friends we boarded ship and left
England. After long voyage we
landed in strange, new country,
where all was different from what we
we're used to. Here we lived until /
was nearly nineteen and went to
school.
But in this land different pro.
blem than religion troubled our
parents; they were afraid we young
people would become more like
Hollanders than they wished and SO
again we set sail and returned to
England, but we stayed there only
long enough to obtain a ship and
charter for land in the new country
far away called America. After
many sad farewells we left England
and after three long weary months
on stormy sea, driven out Of our
course by cruel winds, we sighted
land. How thankful and glad we
were that at last our voyage was
almost over! But still we were all
somewhat afraid Of what we should
see upon landing.
The next day we came near
enough to land in rowboats, but it
was with sinking hearts upon our
part, and looks Of mingled pity for
us and JOY for freedom on the faces
Of our men that we stepped upon
the shore Of a new land.
Nothing could be seen but trees
and ground and bushes covered with
snow. The day was gray and dreary
and it was already late afternoon, one
Of those November afternoons that
makes your mind as dark and dre:ary
as the day. Fires were quickly
kindled and the women and children
were made as comfortable as possible
while the men and boys began i'm
mediately to cut down the large
trees to make a shelter for us. But
that first night, the men guarding,
we lay under the stars, listening to
the murmur Of the trees and the
sound of the waves on the rocky
shore. AT night it seemed only
dream, this land SO utterly desolate,
but when morning came and we
must begin work, not in warm homes
but around fires on the snow, the
realism Of it was impressed upon us
all.
All day long the brave husbands
and fathers worked at cutting trees,
and by night we had three-sided
rooted shelter.
Thus things progressed for many
days. Every once in while the
savage red men attacked us but were
no match for the strong fearless
colonists, and after a while they
became friendly and bargained with
US for food.
We began to like this new land,
although it was cold and bleak, and
desolate, and, in the early spring,
when the Mayhower returned to
England, not one lett us to go with
them, although many, thru disease
and lonlin ess, had left us for a fairer
land that winter. FINS.

VARIATIONS I'M MUSIC.

Herman Epstein in his lecture recital
yesterday at the Misses Hebb's School.
talked on the variations Of music. He
declared that in many cases the grea
est thoughts OF some of the greatest
masters have been written in variation
form. Most of the variations date from
the time Of Haydn.
What tremendous possibilities there
are in variatio; s." said the speaker.
when we have built high structures it
seems strange that we could not have
conceived IL all at one time, but it takes
centuries 90 complete the construction.
Bach and Handel we're among the first
to experiment with new things Then
came Papa Haydn, as he is thus af-
tectionately regarded. Haydn was at
ease to compose as be would. lie con-
strictcd new forms without any pro-
found depths of feeling. Haydn was
the entertainer OF the court period and
lis style was very thin aud graceful
but not profound. II was pointed out
that the variations as we know them
date from Haydn a period of $50 years
or so ago.
The speaker took up Beethoven and
his variations. lie pointed ont that he
was more profound than Haydn and
shows more expression than repression.
