Saturday, School
Improvement Day.

On Saturday, November 21st,
a day has been set aside through
out the county by the County
Superintendent of Schools for a
day of Improvement on school
grounds.
The chief object of this move.
ment is to improve the grounds,
by leveling up and putting them
in better shape, and it is also de-
sired that swings jumping horses
and other athletic apparatus us
ually found in Fairgrounds in
the larger cities and which need
not be very expensive.
We believe this is good move
in the right direction and should
have the hearty support OF all,
as the school grounds has been
an eyesore to the town. and it
certainly needs this Improvement
and also the other amuse
for the children on the grounds.

Will Specialize on
Submarines.

Uncle Sam has been watching
European affairs, and one of the
earliest results will be the cons
truction OF what will probably
be the greatest submarine fleet a.
float. In the European struggle
some OF the most effective work
has been done by submarine YES
sells, and as result the Washing
ton government has adopted a
new type that will displace about
1900 tons, which means that it
will be about twice the size ofany
submarine af1oat. The aim is to
build a submarine OF high speed
with great defensive power that
will be able to keep up with the
American fleet and never lag be-
hind. Dreadnaughts are hard
things to get out OF Congress.
but submarines cost less, and in.
dications are that they will do
better work than the great mon-
ster fighters.

Teachers, Trustees
and Parents
Association.

On Tuesday evening at the
First Ward Church was held one
OF the most delightful meetings
Oakley has known for some time
when the Teachers, Trustees and
Psrents came together for bet
ter understanding upon school
problems. A spirit OF goodwill
and enthusiasm was manifested
throughout the entire program
and later in the basement there
was fun in every corner while the
picnic supper was served and the
violin and organ tuned up tor the
old fashioned dances in which
everybody could join. There was
probably not'a single person who
did not enjoy the eutire evening.
The first number on the prog
ram was just the right thing to
put the people into proper spirit,
being a solo by Miss Pearl
Critchheld. After prayer by Bi.
shop Haight, Mrs. Campbell
talked or visiting schools" and
Mr.. Tucker gave a very pointed
ten minute talk which made all
take greater interest than ever
before in using the school build
ing to greater advantage outside
school hours. Then followed a
discussion upon school grounds
led by Mr.. Chas. Haight and as
an outcome from this, plans were
Immediately completed to OBJ
serve "clean up day" by gather
ing force OF men with tools
tea ms and wagons at the school
grounds Saturday Nov 21, where
they will haul in dirt for filling
up low places, take out the weeds
aud stones and make two play
grounds, one tor the larger pupils
and one for the little ones. Ref.
reshments will be served by the
ladies who will include hot
drinks of barley coffee and cocoa
Every man IS invited to come and

After these arrangements had

Futility Of
Militantcy.

Military enthusiasts are loud
in their praises of arma ments and
conscriptions, but we trust that
the sound common sense of the
American people will always put
down militancy. Militancy has
been the curse of Europe. 1t has
not prevented war with it's con-
sequent horrors; in fact, it has
been the cause OF it. Vast arma-
ments and military establish.
ments are the seeds OF perpetual
menace to peace.
The greatest friend OF interna-
tional peace is disarmament.
The present war has been under
taken by England and France to
check Prussian Militantism, and
we sincerely hope that this banal
war will not have the effect OF
inoculating the Allies with the
germ OF still greater armaments.
Herbert Spencer, the greatest
exponent Of evolution, in his
great work on Sociology declares
that the industrial stage OF socl.
ETY. is the highest type Of civiiza,
tion yet developed. The Anglo
Saxon nations because of this to-
day represent the highest type of
culture. 1t would be a step
back ward for these nations to
assume militant system after
outgrOw wing it. The German
Empire secured the impetus for
Its system from the Franco Ger
man war. The system has been
the curse of the continent If this
war accomplishes nothing more
than toexpel the Prusslan system
from the earth, then it will not
have been fought in vain, Ger.
rnany's greatest enemy is her ar
my and its officers. They claim
to be fighting for their Father
land. They are not doing so
They are fighting to perpetuate
the military caste and the sys-
tenn. 1t would be against Germ
any'S best interests for her to
win this war. Germany's future
will be along industriallines, and
she cannot advance further under
the incubus of Kaiserism and its
twin partner, militarism.

Another Single
Term Advocate.

Ex- President William Howard
TAFT has delivered speech since
the election, in which he advoca-
ted a single seven year term for
the President ofthe United States
MIR. TAFT declares that the last
year of a Presidents four-year
term is burdened with thoughts
of Il second term, and therefore
in order to relieve his mind and
allay all doubts among the peo-
pie he believes that it would be
wise to make the term OF the Pre-.
sident seven years and have him
Ineligible for reelection.

Suffrage and
Prohibition.

The result of the contest for
wc4nan suffrage and prohibition
III number OF states, directs at
tention to the two ISSUES. Sew.
eral million people having shown
enthusiastic interest in these two
questions, il naturally appears
to the uninitiated that there
ought to be no question about
Congress considering the subjects
But the same influences against
which the country revolted and
called "cannonism" are still
maintaining so thorough a stran-
gle hold on Congress and its
rules that it is impossible to get
these matters before Congress.
Fer several months during the
present year it was possible for
the House Committee on Rules,
composed of eleven members, to
prevent this issue from coming
before Congress.
This same committee OF eleven
can defeat the will OF the entire
House OF Representatives at the
coming session if they desire to
do SO. I he voters in the differ
ent districts may think it an easy
mattertor their brilliant repre-
sentatives tc present any partic
ular matrer oilegislation, but the
rules are mightier than the Con-
gress. 1t is very much Of Ques
tion whether the prohibitionists
or the suffragists will be able to
secure consideration for their bills
before the adjournment Of the
third session ofthe 63rd Congress

This applies particularly to the
examination Of ands applied for

This increase iii grazing capacity
is made possible because of the

Thanksgiving
Day
Proclamation
BY The Governor of Idaho.

AS the years roll by, Divine
Providence bestows abundant
favors upon the American Nat.
ion. The year 1914 has been no
exception. When we coutemp-
late the condition of the nations
OF the Earth, no people have been
SO blessed and so favored as have
the people OF the United States of
America. Our people have been
better ted, better clothed, better
housed and better paid for their
labor than the people ofany 9TH
er nation in the world; our harv-
ests have been abundant; we have
made progress in material things
education and moral uplift; we
are at peace with the world and
in happy contrast with other
great nations where carnage, de-
struction and desolation is the
rule. The horrors of the war
now in progress in other lands
cannot adequately be described,
and it is sufficient cause for
thanksgiving and prayer that
our land is spared this wanton
waste of life and treasure, bring
ing poverty and sorrow to mill
ions of homes. America "The
Land of the Free and the Home
OF the Brave" is a land to be es-
peciaDly appreciated at this time.
Idaho, the Gem OF the Mount
aims, has partaken OF her full
share of the blessings of ourcom,
mon country.

| M, Haines, Governor Of tn.
State of Idaho, do hereby joir
with the President of the United
States in designating and setting
apart

and l call upon our people to
cease from all labor on that day
and congregate at their houses
of worship, or assemble at pub.
lie meeting places. or gather a.
round the family alter and Offer
to Almighty God their most
heartfelt thanks for the blessings
that are ours, and their most
fervent prayer for the perpetuity Y
OF the conditions that make such
blessings possible-thanks that
ours is a land where every citizen
is protected in life, liberty and in
the pursuit of happiness, PRAYERS
that as nation we may ever be
guided by the inspirat tions OF the
Fathers of the RepubIic-thanks
that our Country is at peace with
