A MIRACLE OF EGGS"

What the late j p. Morgan referred to as eggs" were never
more thoroughly "scranbled' than in the Cae of the New Haven

not only concede the practcabiity of n mscrambing but will
willingly and heartily go about the work.
What was impossible to high finance thus again becomes possible.
More. opinion is pretty general that the eggs mscrambed
will be sounder and less spotted than they are in the mixture, and
to II impossible will be added the miraculous. 1t is still a time to
marVei ut the things We imagine ire not as vain as they WERE.
There will yet remain the fact that the cooks who did the

IDAHO'S NEXT GOVERNOR.
M. E. Lewis says: estate taxes
are only one-eighth Of the whole tax
bill. can save the state approx
mately $500, 600 over the cost Of the
last biennial period by careful bust
ness methods. This will be only
one-fortieth of the whole tax bill.
The balance belongs to the counties,
cities, roads and schools Those
who know M. E. Lewis know that
this man can do all that he sclaims
and more in the running of this state.
Go look up his record as regent of the
Idaho State University.
The Legislature voted large sum
Of money to rebuild the structure
that burned. Lewis was president
of the board of regents. Bids were
called for, and it was evident that
there was something wrong. The
bids were all too high, the board
thought. They were above the esti-
mates of the architects. Lewis sug-
gested that the board reject all the
bids, which was done, and instead of
advertising for new bids on the en-
tire job Mr.. Lewis had the board ask
for bids on various divisions of the
job separately, as, for example, brick
work, plumbing, etc., giving the lit
tlesfellows an opportunity, and when
the new bids were opened thousands
of dollars were saved to the state.
More than this, it has been said that
this is the only building ever erect
ed by the taxpayers Of the state
where the contractors have really
delivered the goods.
Here is an illustration of how, I'M
der the business management of
Mr.. Lewis, the contractors delivered
the goods to the last penny. The
massive foundations were ready for
the steel girders on which was to rest
the great building. Mr.. Lewis was
looking after the work, having been
delegated by the board to do this.
At the main entrance to the building
is a great tower. To support this a
massive foundation had been laid,
and on this to hold this tower were to
rest great steel girders. 1t was Mr..
Lewis habit to make frequent trips
to the university and personally in
spect the work. As the workmen
were swinging the steel into place
Lewis noticed something was wrong.
He went to the blue prints and COM
pared them with the work, to discover
that one of the great foundation piers
was some foot or more out of place
The contractors were attempting to
lay the girder accordingly, and pass
over the mistake to the everlasting
detriment and danger to the building.
Lewis ordered the men to stop, and
served notice there and then that the
contractors must follow the plans and
do the work according to specifica-
tions. It cost one thousand dollars
to rectify this error, but it was done,
and the state got dollar Of service
for every dollar it invested in that
structure.
II the people of Idaho want this
kind Of man for governor let them
see that M. E. Lewis is nominated
and elected. He has gone over the
state expenditures carefully, and
when he says he can manage the |
state at a saving of half million
dollars a year he means it, and will |
make good. 1t is up to the voters to
choose between Lewis and Governor
Haines, who has talked and talked
and done little to reduce taxes by
cutting down expenses.

MAJOR Mo1oN's OPTIMISM.

Hampton Institute Official Emphasizes
Cooperation festwesn the Races.
Commenting on the conditions which
confront the colored people in all sec
tions Of the country in their efforts to
make progress. Major Robert R. Motion
Of the Hampton (va) institute says:
Even the casual observer must see
that there IL growing q spirit Of real
cooperation and sympathy between
the two races in the south. and that
never before has there been a more
earnest and sincere effort on the part
Of both races for mutual help and CO.
operation.
There is a growing and genuinely
honest disposition on the part of the
colored people everywhere to seek the
cooperation OF white people In every
movement for the common good Of the
race. There is an increasingly strong
feeling on the part of laborers and
mechanics for unity and cooperation
with similar groups Of white artisans
composed Of whites. and the unions are
seeing more and more the necessity
for a closer union of the various class
es Of skilled workers. and this feeling
Will continue to grow as men become
better trained. better educated and
better Christians.
I'm educational matters also there is
4 growing sympathy and spirit of CO.
operation between the races. The Ne
gro is calling on school officials for
fair and equitable distribution of
school funds. He is asking for better
schools. longer terms. better pay for
teachers and better equipment. In
many cases the Negroes out of their
own earnings are buying land for the
schools. often putting up the school
houses.
Sometimes they supplement the pay
of the teacher. this generally being
done with the advice and approval Of
the local school officials. who are max
ing appropriations for school purposes
with liberality such as was never
before witnessed"

her forefathers, and none but the old.
est inhabitants could recall the times
when the family consisted Of Judge
Joel Semple, his wife Elizabeth and
their children. Richard, Penelope and
Martha. The son was bitter disap-
pointment to the judge. because he re-
fused to study law and succeed his
father in that honorable profession.
Nature had endowed him with talent
for reproducing her beauties, and he
worshiped before the shrine of Apollo
in preference to that of the wise Ath.
enc. As result he quarreled with the
judge and departed for Europe. For
several years he communicated with
Penelope, but finally his letters ceased
to arrive.
The gentle mother succumbed to an
attack OF pneumonia and was followed
a year later by her younger daughter.
Shortly afterward the judge was dis.
apoplexy, and Penelope was left to face
life alone In the large white house. She
exerted every effort to locate her
brother. only to experience failure.
In the days when there were many
branches to the family tree it was the
custom for the Semples to assemble at
the home OF the judge for Thanksgtv.
ing Since the death Of her parents
Miss Penelope continued to throw open
the hospitable doors Of the white house
for THANKSGIVING celebration.
For the twentieth time she waited in
happy anticipation the arrival Of the
advance guest Her eyes swept with

decanters and the dustless mahogany
furniture ready for the morrow's feast
The knocker summoned her to the
door. and throwing 1t open. Penelope
greeted her cousin and his wife. From
that time on until late evening the
SempIes continued to gather about the
hearthstone Of the white house. The
evening was happily spent. the younger
generation dancing. while their elders
exchanged "reminiscences. and at mid
night they retired to await the dawn
of Thanksgiving day.
Dinner time came In due season next
day. Miss Penelope seated her guests.

this may be due to the character and
habits of some Of the Negro people
themselves in just the same way that
bad living conditions among the whites
are often due to shiftlessness. But there
is no question in the minds of those
who have studied Negro housing that
a large proportion of these people de-

that where conditions are approximate
