the Wilson tariff" But Mr..
Perkins, by his plan to maintain
the Progressive party organiza-

however, is not saying much.

Chautauqua Talent.

The recent marvellous develop
ment of this movement has op-
ened a large field of opportunity
to talent" especially to musi-
clans. The salaries of musicians
on the chautauquas are equal to
that ordinarily paid to theatrical
talent, aside from the stars. The
minimum is said to be $50 week
and railroad expenses, while a
large proportion receive a much
higher salary.
approximately 1000 men are
annually employed as chautauqua
superintendents, electricians, pro-
perty men. head ushers and tick
ct sellers throughout the entire
country. Nearly 500 are employ
ed as advance men and more than
1000 as talent, The college boys
who comprise the tent crews re-
ceive from $17 to 500 a week,
their railroad fare and nightly
lodging. Review of Reviews.

Warns Against Typhoid.

Already a large number Of deaths
from typhoid fever have been re-
ported to the State Board of Health.
iiIeSt reports coming III SO early IN
dicate to what extent the disease
may be expected to rage when hot
weather and fly time are on in full
blast. As yet there has been prac-
ticaily no hot weather and conse-
quently not large number Of
deaths from the disease should be
expected as typhoid RACES most
when the weather is hottest and the
flies are thickest.
This large number Of deaths, how
ever, already reported should be a
special warning TO the unvaccinated
and those who are still toleIating
flies and fiy-infected food. They
should get vaccinated IS soon as
possible and see that their families
and their neighbors are yacoinated
Under such conditions as are likely
to exist this summer, no person nor
family can afford to run the risk
with typhoid.
Wherever the anti-typhoid vaccine
treatment has been given every per
son in any community, institution or
body Of people, typhoid fever has
there been stamped out. For IN
stance, there has not been a death
from typhoid fever in the army
since 1912. the year after anti-ty-
phoid vaccination was made compul-
sorry and every soldier was vaccin-
ated
What vaccination did for the army
it will do for the family, the neigh
borhood or the county. Vaccination
and cleaning up, tolerating 10 Htes
and breeding places for flies, nC
open back privies or other places o.
flth-will drive typhoid out Of any
community.
The State Board Of Health warn
especially against flies and oper
back privies and advises vaccination
as soon IS possible.

Clean Up---PfeVeni Fires.

Make this year clean year in
every way. Prevent the possibility
Of fire by entering earnestly into
the work Of fire prevention. Teach
the children the danger OF handling
matches. Keep gasoline or kero-
sene out Of the house. Place one or
more fire extinguiohers about the
house and barn and show the danger
to those whom you find to be care
less. Interest them in clean,
wasteless, trashless community. Do
this, and it will be more effective in
the prevention Of fires than all the
laws that can be enacted by any
LEGISLATURE or ordinances to that
end. A tidy housekeeper is the
+, worst enemy Of fire waste. This is
conceded by all insurance compa-
nies, and we appeal to you to be of
this class and help the Fire Marshal
Department in its work for fire pre-
yention, which is for you and your
neighbor's benefit. Will you?-

cans.
Governor Jarvis was active in
building up the industrial and social
fabric Of the state. He constantly
urged the legislature to enact better
school laws. He urged longer school
terms, better support for the univer-
sity and other state institutions. He
held the states interest in several
railroads in order that private capi-
tai might push them into out Of the
way sections Of the state, even call
ing special session Of the legisla-
ture to dispose Of one. He did eve
rything possible to bring the state
to a condition Of prosperity.
After retiring as governor. Jarvis
was appointed minister to Brazil by
President Cleveland. On his return
from this mission he resumed his
law practice at Greenville, n. c.,
| where he lived at the time Of his
| death.
Governor Jarvis participated as
counsel in q number Of noted cases
in this state. Among them was the
impeachment Of the supreme court
judges IN 1902, when he was council
for the defense. He also was noteC
as an orator and writer Of campaign
documents.

TURNS DOWN
THE GEM DISTRICT
State Will Not Pay its Assessment on
State Owned Lands.

A committee of Gem Irrigation Dis
trict farmers and officers of the dis
trict visited Boise Wednesday and in
tervicwed Governor Alexander in re-
gard to the assessment on state lands
in the district Governor Alexander
informed the committee that under no
circumstances would be approve Of
the state paying its just assessment.
Under Republican administrations
the assessments have Deen paid by the
state the same as by private individ-
ual land owners because the state was
proportionately benefited Lands that
are now appraised at $1,000 per acre
by the state appraisers would not be
worth SOC an acre without the irriga-
ton district and its irrigation works.
The settlers on the Gem feel that it
is no more than right that the state
stand its share of the expense. These
settlers will now have a taste of real,
genuine Democratic economy.

MONK FA|LSTOTURNOv
RECORDS OF OFFICE
TO SUCCESSOR

When Will Monk, ex-county treas
urer of Canyon county, turned the Of
fee over to his successor, Mrs. Sarah
Handy, he failed to turn over the
bank ledger and cancelled checks.
Saturday Mrs. Handy had occasion
to use the ledger and found that it was
missing. After asking Mr. Monk he
stated that he had taken the ledger
and cancelled checks home. Monday
Mrs. Handy made formal demand for
the return of the ledger and checks.
County Attorney Griffiths recognized
the fact that they were county pro-
perty and told Mr. Monk that he had
better return them. This had not
been done when last heard Of
1t is not thought that there is any
thing wrong with the Office but the
fact excites the gravest suspicious.
Either Mr.. Monk does not care to
have the book inspected by his sue
cessor or he is filled to the brim with
pure cussedness.
It is stated on the streets that be-
fore leaving his office he did a num-
Der of things for the purpose of caus-
ing his successor trouble and incon-
venience.
Yesterday aftern The Tribune was
unable to get into communication with
Prosecuting Attorney Grifiths and so
are unable to ascertain what steps
will be taken We think that Mr..
Monk will be compelled to produce
the ledger and cancelled checks.

SPOONING is FATAL
so MEN ARE ADVISED
Tragedies Result, says Lecturer at
Y. M. c. A.

"Spooning is violation of the finest
principles of chivalry. 1t is the break
ing down of the only protection af-
forded a woman-her modesty and
reserve. 1t is the first step in the
thousands of tragedies that occur
through this apparantely legitimate
amusement in our school and college
life"
In this way. Mr.. Max Exner, first
American physical director in China
and a member of the international
committee, warned men at the Port
land Y. M. c. A. in his lecture on "Ra-
tional Life"
mo man can afford to trifle with
his mental and moral life by falling
into the spooning habit continued
DR.. Exner There is no temptation
more fatal. 1t lowers the finest sen
timents to the lowest sensuous depth.
DR.. Exner spoke of the dance, in
sstng that it is legitimate only when
properly conducted.

STATE LEGISLATURE PASSES
PROHIBITION AMENDMENT
Only One Dissenting Vote Against
Prepared Amendment.

Both houses have passed the senate
resolution amending the state consti-
tuition to provide for statewide pro-
hibition
With Senator Whitcomb casting the
only vote against it, S. J. R. No. |,
by Hart, submitting prohibition
constitutional amendment to the peo-
pie, was adopted by the senate We'd
nesday after having been thoroughly
discussed in the committee of the
whole. The vote was 81 to |. SEN
ator Steel was absent. He has been
i'll in local hospital for several days.
When Chairman Mendenhall of the
committee of the whole reported that
it was the recommendation of the
committee that the bill pass. Senator
Hart moved that the rules be suspend
ed. Senator LEM voted against this
When the roll was called on the
final passage of the resolution, Sen
ator Bowman, Socialist, explained that
he wished to let the people of the
state have vote on this question
and, while in his opinion considerable
unnecessary litigation will be the re-
suit of the adoption of such an
amendment, it his desire to conform
to the will of the people. Senator
Bowman is the only legislator in both
houses who was not pledged to pro-
hibition by constitutional amendment.
Senator Frazier also explained his
vote. He asserted that while he is
from a wet county, Kootenai, he felt
that the people wanted vote on the
question, but would work as he sees
fit in the future. His attention was
called to the fact that Kootenai is
supposed to be dry.

ate, considerable opposition was
shown the resolution in the commit
tee of the whole. Several ultra-pro-
hibitionists declared that the pro-
posed amendment is not drastic

for the resolution to be in conformity
with their platforms, asserted that
the measure is entirely too strict.

the manufacture, keeping for sale,
and transportation for sale of intoxi-
eating liquors for beverage purposes
will be forever prohibited in this state
after May /, 1917.
This date for the suspension of the
liquor traffic was chosen, he said, be-
cause of desire to let those in the
liquor business have time to dispose
of their interests and as the fiscal
year of the various municipalities ends
May of each year, the suspension
of the traffic on that day will cause
no difficulty because of uneXpired sa-
