JEFFERsON's BANQUET
At MOSCOW, IDAHO

If Jefferson could have returned
from the pale realm of shade he
would have been more than pleased
with the celebration of his birthday
last Monday evening at Moscow.
More than that-he could have seen
his boyish looking picture con-
spicuously hung upon the wall and
could have heard the enlogies pro-
nounced upon his character and his
works, he would have become as
enthusiastic as the large crowd that
has assembled to do his memory
honor. Could he have partaken of
the me u. from soup to coffee he
would have filled his pockets before
returning to his shadowy existence.
He would have had nothing but
praise to offer the Latah County
Democratic Central Committee
under whose auspices that splendid
banquet was held.
The ladies were every where and
yet so inconspicuous. The menu,
was served by the ticking of the
clock, without flaw or a break and
its palatebleness was indicated by
the rapid disappearance of the
ch oice edibles. Not only in the
culinary art did they excel but theil
representative on the program, Mrs
Richard Burke, fully demonstrated
that "Vote for Woman was clear
" in accord with the fitness O
things.
Hon. F. L. Moore presided a

i the whole story. Hon. James Il
Hawley, ex-governor of Idaho

LENGTH OF THE WAR
 AND SOME OTHERS
-.-

How long will the war last?
 It's a fool question of course be- cause there is no certain answer, But when there is an unanswerable ques- ton 1t Is the custom to look up preee' dents.
 The two most recent Central Euro pean" wars were settled in an amaz- ingly short time. In 1866 Prussia and Austria went at each others throats over the juicy Schleswig-Holstein bone to which neither of them, by the way, had any right. That war lasted only seven weeks, and It ended in Prussia giving Austria a terrible and humilating beating.
 France and Sardinia also gave Aus trla crushing defeat in 1S59-in war in which the general fighting last ed less than month. This list does not include Italy's earlier and feebler struggles for liberty, against Aus tria, as in 1S4S-49, etc.
 In July, 1870, France and Prussia went to war. The general fighting in that war lasted barely a month. Of course, the siege of Paris and other maneuvers dragged on much longer. But the actual clash in the field be- gan early in August and ended early in September
 The Russo-Turkish war, six years afterward, was longer by q year or more. but the Turco-Greek war in the sos was matter of one swift campaign. The Russo-Jap war was also comparatively brief.
 In our own history here is-roughly the duration of the important wars: Revolutionary war. eight years; war of 1872, two years and eight months; Mexican war, two years and eleven weeks; civil war, four years; Spanish war, seven and half months (with the bulk of the fighting done in two and half)
 All but one of the foregoing were duels between two nations. The last general European war was the Grim can, when England. France, Turkey, and Sardinia combined against Rus. sia. from 1854 to 1856. The war con tinued for about two years and result. ed in sound thrashing for Russia,
 Before that the Napoleonic wars in termittenly brought every nation in Europe to the battlefield These wars continued with breaks of long or short duration, for more than twenty years, and ended at Waterloo, when the Eng lish, the Prussians, the Dutch and other allies overthrow Napoleon. Rus. sia and England. by the way, were Germany's staunchest friends then.
 Nearly two centuries before that a German quarrel spread until 1t involv' ed almost every nation on earth and is known to history as the Thirty Years War"
 So. with a very few exceptions, we see that the more modern the war the shorter it is apt to be, especially when only Central Europe is involved. For example Gin actual fighting): Austro. Prussian war of 1866, seven weeks; {; Franco-Prussia war of 1870, a month, the present war-?-Detroit News.

ATHLETICS GET GOOD
 SoUTHPAW PITCHER

It looks as if the Athletics have the coming left.hander of the country in Raymond Bressler, who was with the Harrisburg Tristate League team last year. When Mack signed Bressler it caused some comment, for while he was a promising youth, Tristate League sharps believed that there were several other pitchers in the cir cult who look better than Bressler.
 But Mack makes few mistakes when it comes to selecting players. He saw ability in the southpaw that was ob- scured to less gifted eyes, and the re- suit vindicated his judgment.
 It is not generally known that Bress. Ter is a protege of Plank's. The Get tysburg man took him in charge last fall and ever since then has been teaching him the fine points of the southpaw's art.

The NewNYorkS StEess, engp 3hosayoS' Republican paper otQtahalhg'Q Q5aO tts6, en notice of the attehft Do qa9Re Ye9l6 new tarlft law responsible for4lf63d% icieney in the revenues of the govef9- ment, which 1t repudiates. The Press says;
 Nothing could be more unfair than to attribute the present collapse of Treasury receipts to the tarif law, and nothing could be more foolish than to inject a tariff argument into any spe- clal measure aimed to provide more revenue In the emergency which has grown out of the war in Europe. Any, body with the very least gumption knows that, since the war struck di- rectly and almost entirely at the reye- nue produced from tariff duties. the bigger the proportion of receipts from such tariff duties had been the worse the revenues would nave been hurt Our old tarifr revenues, therefore, would have been more severely cut by the war than these. The internal rev enue duties. for the most part, are stlll left, the income tax revenues are still left; 1t is only the tariff revenues that are gone. If there hadn't been
 anything but tariff revenues there wouldn't have been anything at all left. The big thing used to be the tar if revenues.

If the ships to carry the traffic can be put into service obviously we shall be doing all selling and no buying; SO that if the foreign markets are open to us and if we have the ships to get into them, we not only shall save our favorable balance of foreign trade, af- ter 1t seemed utterly lost to us un- der the new tariff, but again pile 1t high in our favor.
 "Thus 1t is, from every point of view, that the tariff of last month goes off the boards as an argument for any party or any faction and must stay off the boards as long as the war lasts. For, while all the nations of Europe are at one another's throats, instead of raising and manufacturing products to sell to us, along with the rest of the world, the tariff, which was designed and put into operation to let the products of those nations into the United States, doesn't mean and can't mean what 1t did mean only a few days ago."

COLLINS FALLS BACK
 TO HIS OLD BERTH,
Sians a Two Year Contract With Red Sox, Receiving Bonus and Large Salary.

Hot Springs, Ark, March 12.-Ray Collins has signed a Boston Red So& contract for two years, and that means that the Vermont lad will pitch some great ball for Boston the coming sea son.
 The Federal league made great effort to secure ColliNs as he was the only Red Sox not under contract.
 Collins was offered q contract for three years at S5,000 a year and bo- nus in cash of S7,500, making S22,5Oe for three years. This was tempting offer, and Collins took it under advise ment. He was booked for Brooklyn with the Ward brothers. Seventy five hundred in cash was a lot of money, but he refused to commit himself until he saw President Lannin. Collins call ed on President Lannin and the two talked 1t over for an hour, Collins glV- ing his conversation with President Gilmore.
 Manager Carrisan was called in, and after the contract was made out to the satisfaction of Collins he signed 1t, with Bill Carrigan as the witness.
 Collins said that he wanted to play in Boston, but at the same time he was eating for his interests. He says he was never in better shape to do his best work.

RITCHIE RETAINS HIS TITLE
Outboxed Wolgast in 10 Round Battle-Forced His Op- ponent Take the Count of Four in Seventh Round Fighting Fiercely When Final Gong Rang.

Milwaukee, Wis, March 12.-Willie Ritchie, lightweight champion of the world earned a shade over Ad Vol gast. former champion, in their ten round bout here tonight.
 The champion outboxed the Michigan boy in five rounds and in the seventh had Wolgast backing away from his punches. Wolgast sank to one knee when Ritchie landed a shower of blows on his stomach and took the count of four. He later rushed at the cham pion, but Ritchie danced away from him.
 Twice during the bout Wolgast was warned by Referee Stout for his rough work in the clinches. In the eighth and ninth rounds Ritchie clearly out boxed the former champion.
 When the champion and the eX- champion came to the center of the ring for the first round they wasted little time in Sparring for openings once and found the champion willing to meet him at that game. Wolgast secured a shade the better of the first round, playing largely for Ritchie's body
 The champions left jab was much in evidence, but Ad covered well. Ritchie increased the pace in the sec ond, which was his round, and had the Michigan boys mouth bleeding at the close when he landed a right swing
  left to the face. Wolgast broke ground. The third was even, with Ritchie sending swift short jabS to Ads face and the former champion playing for the body.
 Wolgast Takes Fourth and Fifth.
 Wolgast, crowding to close quarters, had the better of the fourth and fifth rounds. Ritchie's jabs and hooks to the head did not stop him. and he landed several hard rights and lefts to the Californians body, varied with an occasional jab to the face. Ritchie, however, had the sixth round by a good margin. Wolgast missed several hard swings and the champion smOth- cred his rival with fusillade of snap py punches to the head, ending the round with stinging right swing to Ads nose.
 Wolgast Sent to the Floor.
 Ritchie checked Wolgasts rush in the seventh with a hard left, ter rife right swing to the face and left to the solar plexus which sent Vol gast down for the count of four. He slowed Wolgast with swings in an eff fort to put him out.
 Ritchie also took the eighth, open ing with the usual left jabs and jolting Wolgast with a hard right and left to the ribs.
 RItchIe Strong at the FInish.
 Ritchie continued to hold the lead in the ninth. His blows were the cleaner and he landed oftener than Wolgast, who was warned for rough work in the clinches. Wolgast made a desperate effort in the tenth and held the champion even on points, but his blows seemed to lack steam. Ritchie staggered him with @ right uppercut.
 Wolgast rushed at Ritchie at the opening of the tenth and sent his right and left to Ritchie's face and body, but the coast boy did not give ground and met Wolgast with right and left jabs to the jaw. Both boys were fighting fiercely when the bell rang.

JIMMY CLA5BY WILL
 MEET BILLY MURRAY. Match Will. Take Place At CoIma,
 April 3.

Jimmy Clabby and Billy Murray, the new middleweight phenomenon from Sacramento, Cal. have been matched and will meet at Colma, April 3.
 This should be a good, hot fight. Clabby is a much better fighter than when he boxed in New York. He is bigger, stronger, more clever and more ambitious. He calls himself middle weight champion of the world and is very proud of the title. So Clabby will do his best. This makes it a good, try out for the middleweight. If he can get away with a clever. experienced fighter like Jimmy Clabby he's a won der, and no mistake. In that event it'll be hard to find any one who can stop his march to the championship. The only thing that might give Mur- ray pause after that is a, glance at the fake record Eddie McGoorty had on the backs of his cards down in Australia. One look at that ought to scare him out of a years growth.
