Idaho Senator
For President !?
Boom Launched At Washington.---Re-
piled To President.

In Republican political circles at
Washington 1t is the opinion that
the speech Of Senator Borah Of Idaho
in reply to President Wilson's Indian
apolis address, formally launched the
senator's boom for the republican
presidential nomination in 1916.
Senator Borah was chosen by 20 other
republican senators to answer the
president and was given an ovation
at the conclusion Of his speech.
AS an evidence OF its appreciation
OF Senator Borahs speech the Repuh
lican national committee has ordered
several million copies printed for
immediate circulation.
President Wilson's Jackson day
address was delivered at Indianapolis
Jan. s, and constituted vigorous
defense of bis policies and an appeal
to all democrats to stand firm and
invite the independent voters to Join
them. He attacked the republican
party. He SAID the republicans were
"self-styled friends of business" and
that the party has not had new
idea In 80 years. He declared that
about one third of the republican
party is progressive, and two-thirds
! Of the democratic party is progressive.
He characterized talk of business
! depression as estate of mind" In
the course of his speech the president
hinted that he would be a candidate
In 1916.
Borah's speech was delivered In the
senate Jan. ID, and was general
attack on the administration, with
particular reference to the presidents
warning to "men who should dare tC
break the solidarity of the Democrat
&c team for any purpose or from any
motive" The Idaho senator de-
noupced this statement, comparing
it with "the sole central principle
upon which any corrupt politica
machine was ever organized or put
into existence" He declared 1t wa
like 'the orders issued by Murphy t
his satellites in Tammany hall Il
follow the dictates of the captalI
regardless of the dictates OF con
science or judgment" He defended
the constructive legislation of th
republican party, such as the anti
trust law, interstate commerce
parcel post, postal savings, pure food
and direct election OF senators, an,
compared republican prosperity wit
what he termed ''failure of th
democratic policies" +"

Social Needs imperative.

The average country boy and girl
have very little opportunity for real
enjoyment, and have, as rule, a
vague conception of the meaning of
pleasure and recreation. 1t is to fill
this void in the lives of country youth
that the rural church has risen to
the necessity of providing entertain
ment, as we'll as instruction, to it's
membership among the young. The
children and young people of the
church should meet when religion is
not even mentioned. 1t has been
| found safest for them to meet fire.
| quently under the direction and care
of the church To send them into the
world with no social training exposes
| them to grave perils and to try to
keep them out of the world with no
social privileges is sheer folly. There
is a social nature to both old and
young, but the social requirements OF
the young are imperative. The church
must provide directly or indirectly
some modern equivalent for the husk
ing bee, the quilting bee and the sing
ing schools Of the old days. In one
way or another the social instincts
of our young people must have oppor
tunity for expression, which may
take the form of clubs, parties, pic
MICS or other forms of amusement
One thing is certain, and that is that
the church cannot take away the
dance, the card party and the theatre
unless it can offer in its place a sat
isfying substitute in the form of more
pleasing recreation.

Washington, D. C.-Quezon And
His Race. e.-Commissioner QueZon of
the Philippine Islands suggests that
his people be permitted to vote upon
the question of separation from the
United States, and he frankly states
it as his opinion that the Filipinos
desire to continue under the protec-
tlon of the United States, though he
positively declams in favor Of self
government. Perhaps Mr.. Quezon is
afraid of the japanese domination,
and it has been suggested that he
wants to take home an issue for his
people to vote upon, so that he and
his fellow politicians who control the
situation may be perpetuated. At
each session Of congress Quezon
makes a speech, and he hammers well
at the Queens English, considering
the fact that he was formerly one of
the insurrectionists.
Uncle Sam'll Get You A job
Some of the cabinet officials at Wash
ington have arrived at the conclusion
that in America there is job for
everybody and they have picked out
the postmasters as the goats. Every
man who wants job is supposed to
tell the man at the general delivery
window. The department of labor is
the real instigator of the plan, but
has been obliged to fall back on the
postotfice and agricultural depart
ments to help it In the execution OF
the work, as its own force Is small
and rather insufficient. Students OF
the problem do not bank much on the
new plan.

BeneWah County
Bill Is Passed
No Opposition. Many Measures Pending
In Legislature

county out OF the southern part of
Kootenai was passed by the house
of representatives at Boise last
Friday by unanimous vote. 1t
was passed by the senate the fol-
lowing day by vote of 80 to one.
BY reason of desire to fairly |
represent those OF his constituents
who were against county division,
Representative Edelblute of Koot-
enai made the only show of oPpo-
sition to the organization of
Benewah county. He succeeded
in delaying action until copies of
the bill could be sent to precincts
known to be unfavorable to the
plan and thus give them time to
present their views. The
final vote in the house was unani-
nous.
In the senate considerable dis
cussion and explaining was
indulged in when the Benewah
county bill came up for passage.
Several senators asserted that it
had been their intention to vote
against any county division which
had been voted down at an elec-
ton, but had decided otherwise on
an explanation from Senator
Frazier, who declared that the
opposition which developed during
election time had been eliminated
by placing several sections tribu-
tary to the old county within
Kootenai county. The original
division proposed to make these
sections part of Benewah.
The bill to organize Boundary
county Out of the northern part OF
Kootenai passed both houses at
the same time and by the same
vote.
The bill to organize Teton

CHURCH AS SOCIAL CENTER
A Broader Sphere for Relieion-New
Field for the Rural Church.
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union

Lecturer National Farmers Union
The social duty of the rural church
is as much a part of its obligations
as its spiritual side. In expressing its
social interest, the modern rural
church does not hesitate to claim that
it is expressing a true religious in
stinct and the old-time idea that the
social instincts should be starved
while the spiritual nature was over
fed with solid theological food, is fast
giving way to a broader interpreta-
ton of the functions Of true religion.
We take our place in the succession
of those who have sought to make the
world fit habitation for the children
of Wan when we seek to study and
understand the social duty of the
rural church. The true christian re-
ligion is essentially social-its tenets
of faith being love and brotherhood
and fellowship. While following after
righteousness, the church must chal-
lenge and seek to reform that social
order in which moral life is ex-
pressed. While cherishing ideals of
service, the rural church which. It
tains the fullest measure of success
is that which enriches as many lives
as it can touch, and in no way can
the church come in as close contact
with it's members as through the
avenue of social functions.
The country town and the rural
community need social center. The
church need offer no apology for it's
ambition to fill this need in the COM
Inunity, if an understanding of its
mission brings this purpose into clear
, consciousness. The structure of a
rural community is exceedingly COM
| plex; it contains many social groups,
each of which has it's own center, but
there are many localities which have
but one church and although such
a church cannot command the inter-
est of all the people, it is relieve
from the embarrassment of religiously
divided communities.

Universal Instinct for Play.

In providing for enjoyment the
church uses one of the greatest meth
DDS by which human society has de-
veloped. Association is never secure
until it is pleasurable; in play the in
stinctive aversion of one person for
another is overcome and the social
mood is fostered. Play is the chief
educational agency in rural commun-
tiles and in the play-day Of human
childhood social sympathy and social
habits are evolved AS individuals
come together in social gatherings,
their viewpoint is broadened. their
ideals are lifted and finally they con-
stitute a cultured and refined society.
1t is plain. therefore, that the
church which aims at perfected So
ciety must use in refined and ex-
alted way the essential factors in
social evolution and must avail itself
Of the universal instinct for play.
If the church surrounds itself with
social functions which appeal to the
young among its membership, it will
fill a large part OF the lamentable
gap in rural pleasures and will reap
the richest reward by promoting a
higher and better type of manhood
and womanhood.

CURIOUS F%ERRYBoATs.
Crossing the River at Simla 10 q
Comical Performance.

Crossing the River at Sinnia 10 q
comical Performance.
Perhaps the most curious ferryboat
to be found in the world is at Simia.
The river that flows to the northeast
of SUM, the chief town of the Simla
hill states, has few bridges, so, neces-
sity being the mother, of invention, a
novel method has been adopted.
The skin of a buffalo is inflated with
air and is placed, with the four feet
upward, TO float In the water. The
owner then throws himself over 1t and
the one or two passengers sit or lean
on the top of him. By means Of a
small paddle in his right hand and the
movement to and fro Of his legs in the
water the owner takes his passengers
across.
The Journey takes from three to Ave
minutes, and the modest sum of a pice
(one-half cent? is charged. 1t is only
by repeated crossings in a day that a
man can earn much, but SO many ma
tlves use this means Of going to and
from their villages that the trade is
not unremunerative.
Few things are more comical than
these mussacks, whether moving in
midstream or being carried back to the
village at night on the owners back.
They are, of course, very light and
are about two and a half yards long.
They seem to be safe, except In mon
soon weather. when heavy rain has
caused a rapid current, but at such a
time two mussacks are often linked
together, SO that, being heavier, they
can avoid the rocks.-London Strand
Magazine.
