Germany Feels Friendly

lature last winter passed a law per-
mitting outside companies to deliver
power in the same field without GER
tificate from the utilities commission.
The Montana and the Thompson Falls
power companies took advantage of the
new law and built power lines to the
Idaho boundary to serve power to the
mines in the Washington Water Pow
er company's territory. The threaten
ed competition is said to be the cause
of the move to make the sweeping cut
in rates by the Washington people.

Address Was Instructive

"The judges address was bright
wholesome and instructive, and, in a
way, unique in that it avoided for an
! educational affair, abstruseness and
Donderosity and did not assume that
the young men and women were de-
void of common sense nor totally lack
ing in moral fibre. On the contrary,
| he recognized the former and appeal
ed to it, and he healthily cultivated
the field of personal conduct already
sown instead of scattering the seeds of
impossible standards in involved
rhetoric
TOO many speeches, like many laws,
leave little if anything to individual
Initiative or Intelligence, or what
might be termed horse sense"
Lauds the University
In the course of his address, the
contents of which were published in
the Statesman, appeared the following
excerpt referring to the university:
"In this connection let me suggest
that if you are going to college, make
it the University of Idaho. That
school is solving Idaho problems for
Idaho people. 1t is q fact that the
people who are today taking their
places at the head of the march OF
in our state are graduates OIL
our own chief educational institution.
For instance, in the rich Occur
d,Alene mining region, where many
people are employed because Of their
technical training, it would be hard
TO find a graduate of an eastern col
Lege, while you will find many posi-
lions OF responsibility and remunera-
ton held by U. of l. men. 1t is also
true that people do not make many
irm, dependable friends after they I
become active in business and profes-
,ional lsfa i 80. that the friends you /
xills feel roy may rely upon, and who
may rely. upon you, will be the friends i
,ou have made and will make during

SULLIVAN TO MAKE
A NOVEL CAMPAIGN
Heber Springs Cripple Will Use
Goat Team in Canvassing for
Political Position.

The next political campaign in
Arkansas will see something of a
novelty in the way of stumping
equippage, for Joe F. Sullivan, the
Heber Springs journalist, will be
among those touring the state to
ask the support of the voters. He
will. so far as practical use his
team of goats which have become
a familiar sight on the streets of
Heber Springs and Imboden.
Joe F. Sullivan is unique
character. He has been a cripple
from infancy, but instead of giving
way to his infirmity, he fought
back and managed to secure an ex-
cellent common school education.
He trained team of goats to pull
his wagon, and drove them about
tho streets of Imboden. Before he
was 21 years of age he had been
elected mayor of Imboden, taking
the oath of office just after he had
reached his majority. While max
ing the city a good mayor, Mr..
Sullivan devoted considerable of
his time to the study of journal
ism, and became the correspondent
of many papers. He next began
writing for magazines and finally
appeared his Cry of the Cripple" 3"
a book in defense of and appealing
for the cripple. 1t has been wide
ly circulated and attracted the
Russell Sage Foundation to the
youthful writer.
Mr.. Sullivan later moved to He
Der Springs where he has con-
tinued his writings, and recently
he was made associate editor of
the Van Lueven Browne magazine
of New York, his work being such
that he can carry it on in Heber
Springs.
His success in the mayoralty
race has induced Mr.. Sullivan to
offer for state office, and he will
visit every section between now
and the primaries He is reticent
about the office he will ask for.
but it is surmised that he will seek
to be either state auditor or secre-
tary of state. Mr.. Sullivan has
recently visited many portions of
the state, feeling the political pulse
and has been offered support bv
many of the leading citizens.

Confesses to Murder.

Devalls Bluff, June 3.-The man
taken in custody and locked up
Monday as James w. Wilson and
claiming to be wanted in Minneap-
oils for the murder of Alice Mat
thews in 1912, acknowledged yes
terday mornin, when questioned by
Marshal Russom, that his real
name was Alfred H. Driskol. From
advices received from the Officers
at Minneapolis it develops that this
man Driskol had been in a reform
school in 1911 or 1912, all OF
which he acknowledges, but the
balance of the story told the Off
Ger here Monday and as published
yesterday morning he clings to and
repeats with some accuracy. Mr..
Russom is still holding his man in
jail here waiting for definite an
swer from the Minnesota Officers
as tc whether they want him.
