The desire for the combination Of
ton n music-was shown In the
classic Greek so-callcd drama and
later In the Roman imitation Of the
Greek drama.
However. there was no union OF
these three forms OF art which when
combined make up an opera. until the
beginning OF the sixteenth century.
There were before this time quite a
number OF dramas with incidental
music, folksongs and Gregorian
chants worked up in strict counter
point which was the only artistic
composition at that time and totally
unfit for scenic uses.

During this time the reigning SOW

the Italian model.

CANYON COUNTY CITIZENS
ASK CHANGE IN HIGHWAY.

Prominent citizens of Canyon coun-
ty appeared before the state highway
commission at Boise Friday last ask
ing that the route of the state high
way from Caldwell to New Plymouth
be changed in a few details. The ORR
ginal route was from this city direct to
New Plymouth The new route
will go from Caldwell to Notus thence
in New York until several days after
north to New Plymouth.
This line would bring the state
highway within eight miles of Parma,
as contrasted to 20-mile distance Of
the original servey. Contenders in
less expenditure of public funds would
behalf of this route also claim that a
be needed to put in the roads of their
preferred route in passable shape.
State and County Unite.
The visiting delegation left the con-
ference feeling that they had made a
favorable impression with their argu-
ments on the state and county COM
miSsioners.
The proposed new route was trav-
eled and inspected by the state engi-
neers, accompanied by the Canyon
County surveyor, Fred H. Mcconnell,
Thursday, and it is anticipated that
the state officials will make public
their selection of the official route be-
tween Caldwell and New Plymouth
before Sunday.
The link is the last to be located in
the continental highway crossing
southern Idaho.

NEW ALLIES OF EUROPE
ARE ENEMIES OF OLD

(From New York Evening Worldly
Fate has done bit of ironic work
in picking sides" in Europe's present
war. Nations now allied are former
bitter enemies; and nations at variance
are old-time friends. For example:
Take the lineup. Germany and
Austria against England, France and
Russia, etc. Germany and Austria,
less that fifty years ago, were deadly
enemies. The Austrian Prussian war
of 1886 left behind it a good healthy
mutual hatred that endured for many
years. So much that Austria planned
to help France against Germany in
1870.
Many French English Wars.
On the other side, France and En-
gland, now fighting shoulder to shout
der, were mortal enemies for nearly
800 years. The list of French-En-
glish wars is far too long to set down
here. Each country was the other S
dangerous and most hated rival.
England's rulers for a century and
half have been of German ancestry.
King George l of England could not
speak English, but conversed entirely
in German. The present English
King is the German Kaisers first cou-
sin, even as the Gar and the Kaiser
are connected by marriage.
East VS.. West.
England and Russia have more than
once groweled hercely at each other
over Eastern supremacy A few years
ago it would have been hard to find
an English army officer who did not
expect that sooner no later his coun-
try must fight Russia. England and
France both attacked and threshed
Russia, by the way, in l854-l856, al
the Crimea. Austria at that time
hirted with both factions, siding al
last against Russia and reaping some
of the spoils of victory.
These Shifting Scenes"
So there you have the situation
France and Russia and England have
all three repeatedly been at furious
enmity with one another. Austria
and Germany are hereditary foes. YET
these former enemies have become
sworn brothers-at-arms, and the for
mer friends have become equally ar
dent enemies. A European war II
years hence would possible see ar
entirely new shifting on both sides o
the game. No foreign nations ha!
ever remained the steadfast friend o
any other,

that the data they had gathered

Robertson standing on the northeast

ON STARK LOSS FOR MYERS

have this day received 5000 from
the Equitable Life Assurance Society
of New York through their agent A.
l. Myers of Caldwell, Idaho, to pay
my husbands death claim of $5OOO
Just before his application was made
my husband was employed in the Re-
clamation Service in Deer Flat. About
ninety hours after the application was
made he was killed by a fall while
working on the Arrow Rock Dan. At
that time his application had merely
reached the Boise Office of this COM
pany Notwithstanding the fact that
my husbands application did mot
reach the home Office of the company
in New York until several days after
he had died this company promptly
paid the loss in full the same day the
policy was issued 1t seems to me
that this company is good enough for
anyone.

THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE
SHOWS ITS HAND.

Following its time honored custom
w. ]. Herwig has shown his hand at
the eleventh hour. Notwithstanding
the fact that the candidates of all
parties have been before the people
for thirty days or more, the Anti-Sa-
loon League waited until the last
minute before saying word thus
giving those to whom the legue is
opposed no opportunity to defend
themselves. This action is cowardly
and contemplate. No citizen of
Idaho with a spark of manhood will
pay any attention to the instructions
of this man Herwig. The people OF
Idaho are competent to select their
candidates without instruction from
Herwig.
To show the unfairness of the
League take the case of Mr.. Ed
Hayes, candidate for state senator
The League could say nothing against
Mr.. Hayes. He has lived in Canyon
county for thirty years and is one oil
the best known and most highly res
pected citizens of the county. The
League simply boosts Mr.. Kirkpatrick
and attempts to leave the impression
that Mr.. Hayes is all that Mr.. Kirk
patrick is not. The entire action i:
cowardly and contemplate. 1t i:
practically the same with the othel
endorsements of the League. They
cannot accuse those to whom they
are opposed openly but resort to in
ferential aspersion and groundles
imputation. Every citizen of tn,
county should resent the action of tn
League which if permitted to exercis
the power of instruction of elector
will soon become real menace ii
this state.
The Tribune has no fight on tn
candidates endorsed by the Leagu
provided they are innocent of com
plicity in the action. There is, how
ever, but one way of showing you
contempt for Herwig and his ilk an
that is by ignoring his instruction:
We have used the word instruction
several times. We use it because "ir
structions" is the word used by Her
wig.
Do you need instruction." fror
