The twenty-third annual catalog of
the University Of Idaho for 1914-15
carrying announcements for 1915-16
has just recently been turned out by
the plant of the Star Mirror and is
now available for general distribution
at the office Of the bursar Of the uni
versity. The new catalog contains
272 pages and cover, the largest cat
alog ever turned out for the university.
The volume is comprehensive and con-
tains much valuable information of in
terest to intending students. The
book contains general information
concerning the internal workings of
the university and section is devoted
to the courses in each of the colleges.
The catalog brings out the interest
ing fact that very large proportion
of the students at the university are
from southern Idaho. Ifs Idaho coun-
ty, Nez Perce and the northern part Of
Lemhi in north Idaho are included,
south Idaho furnishes fortyfive per
cent of the enrolment in regular col
lege work Ada county supplies 1871
per cent of the total enrolment and
Canyon county nearly ID per cent.
Nineteen and one-half per cent come
from other states. This shows that
the university is by no means local
to any one part Of the state. The
aim is to make the university serve
a wide field, and the distribution of,
its students indicates that it is sue
ceeding.
In the college of agriculture, there
are registered 78 regular fouryear
students, of which 36 are from south
Idaho, 33 from north Idaho and the
remainder from outside the state.
The school of practical agriculture has
an enrolment of "a. of which ~ are
from the northern part of the. state,
and "a from the south.
Moscow supplies more students to
The university than than other town.
Boise comes second with 81, Coeur
1'Alene 26. Pocatello, Twin Falls and
Payette each 10, and Nampa 8. Sew
sral other towns send four or more
students.

Want to See Idaho
Today matter of great Importance
to the state of Idaho developed through
this department. A large number OF
people who visit the Idaho exhibits
have bought tickets over other lines
are desirous, now that they have seen
the products Of the state, to have the
route changed so that they can visit
Idaho. Executive Commissioner Czizek,
has taken the matter up with the Ore
gon Short Line but finds that this
change cannot be made owing to
ruling of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Mr.. Czizek, however, is
of the opinion that, were the CONNER
cial bodies Of the different cities of
the state to take the matter up with
the Utilities Commission and have this
commission urge through proper rep
resentation, that the Oregon Short Line
might grant this change, it could be
done. Mr.. Czizek is very solicitious
about this matter and our commercial
bodies should act at once through the
various commercial clubs. Should this
be successful it will mean that hun
dreds OF prospective investors would
visit the state who otherwise couiC
not do SO.

BRYAN,S SECOND THEORY

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Former
Secretary W. J. Bryan today issued the
second installment of his statement
dealing with the "Causeless war;
s'This conflict has been described as a
'Causeless war but since none is bold
enough to blame overruling providence
it must find origin in the acts wherein
man alone is responsible" the state
ment said. Race, religion, and fam
lily, each with many wars to answer
for, can plead guilty for the present.
If l have correctly analyzed the situa-
ton, war is the result Of false phil
osophy and a fundamental principle
that Might makes right"
The Lusitania Prebe
LONDON, June 17.-Orders to stop
lowering the boats as the ship wasn't
going to sink were given by onicers
of the Lusitania after It was topedced,
according to testimony given today
during the inquiry being conducted
here. Captain Turner denied that he
told passengers to leave the lifeboats
after they had taken their places. Mrs.
Rossitor, a survivor, testified that she
heard Captain Turner give such an
order. A passenger named Barker tes-a
tilted that member of Captain Turn
er's staff shouted from the bridge
through n1egaphone: "Stop lowering
the boats. There is no danger. The
ship isn't going to sink"

MIR. VAIL ON SUCCESS

From the Providence Journal
 Boys and young men will find in Theo dore N. Vail's remarks at the celebration of his seventieth birthday on Sunday some good suggestions as to getting ahead in their life work, whatever 1t may be.
 Mir. Vail dsposes of too prevalent belief that the beginner without influen- tial friends has no chance. Willingness to work and ability to do things well are the essential qualifications for sue, cess in any line of endeavor. "Favorit- ism and pulr' do not count; the young man must work steadily in order to re- ceive advancement and the rewards &C., companying it. Good places are left va- cant as the old men retire, and the de- velopment of the country goes ahead so rapidly that new positions are constantly created. MT. Vails assurance that there are more opportunities than ever before is well founded.
 The young man who realizes the frk portance of thoroughness in whatever A does Is bound to attract attention while the one who is content with 'just getting by has no chance of rising above medi- ocrty. There is nothing new in Mr. Vail's theory, but his way of presenting the old truth-that merit alone wins suc- cess-is so forcible that it can almost be considered an original contribution on the subject of working out ones own salva- tion

Merchants OnfimIatic

Conditions in northern Alabama are now showing decided improvement" re- marked Dan B. Williams, who travels for a Birmingham hardware concern.
 q have just returned from a trip through that section and am glad to say that I found the merchants every where feeling most optimistic. The farmers are undoubtedly in much bet ter shape than has been the case in sometime The cotton acreage of the state has been decreased and diversi- fication has become the watchword.
 Hogs, corn and wheat have become staple products with the farmers, and they can now feel secure no matter what may occur to the cotton crop. The prospects, however are that in many cases the production for the acreage planted will average well; and the merchants of the northern part of the state are confident if even an average price of F cents is secured for the staple that business conditions will be up to normal. It Is highly probable that the average price secured will be better than 71a cents."

A Demopolis Visitor

John c. Webb, Jr., of Demopolis, one
 of the most prosperous farmers and
 traders in Marehgo county. spent yester-
 day in Birmingham.
 We have had splendid crop year in
 our section." said MT. Webb. While late corn is needing rain. the greater part of
 the crop is made and the yield will be
 unusually large. We have harvested
 great alfalfa crops. I cut three clean crops, and the third cutting was as good as the first-free from weeds and from poor grass. The cotton around Margengo Is oking better than it promised some
 weeks ago, but it is needing a little rain now.
 AS for beef cattle, Marengo will give fine account of itself this year. Stock raising In Alabama is proving very profitable, especially where 1t Is con- ducted on business principles, and will add greatly to the wealth of the state. "The people in Demopolis and in all that part of Marengo are now agitating
 strongly for a new county to be named al fter Frank Lyons, who was one of our greatest citizens The proposed boundary would embrace portions of Marengo, Hale and Perry. Such county would cer- | tainly be a matter of convenience to a vast number of citizens"

Dog Versus Children

"You was only dog, yet I wish l was you"
 Thus might well the orphan quote from that old time poem, "The Dutch mans Soliloquy to His Dog" For re- cent events in Topeka, Kan, indicate that dog is fifty times as welcome in the home as an orphan child.
 It has been the custom for the superintendent of the Topeka orphans home to advertise for homes for the little ones, but it seems that such ad- vertising brought but little results. Commenting on this, Mrs. George An thony, president of the Topeka Home for Orphans, said:
 "We have ceased to advertise for homes for orphaned children. We tried it for awhile, but found it useless. I cannot understand why people will lavish affection upon dog when they might be doing something for human beings"
 A few days ago a small item ap- peared in Topeka paper announcing that there was Boston bull terrier in the city pound which anyone could have who would pay the tax.
 Fifty people made application for the dogl
 From which it would seem that a stray dog has just fifty times as good a chance to find home as has a lit tie, stray child.
 A bequest of 5000 was left to a cat, a few days ago by Mrs. Nellie Ross, wealthy Chicago woman. Mrs Madeline Astor is reputed to spenc g day for choice beefsteak for a pet dog.
 Fortunes upon pets, while little children go hungry and uncared for that is certainly an indictment upor civilization. Animals should be cared for, or put out of their misery, but il would seem that the cream and tn, beefsteaks should go to the babies ano to the growing boys and girls whom Providence has left friendless.
 Surely, "Inasmuch as ye did it mol unto the least of these," is a charge which may find that person who places dog above a child, without defense

The Big Wave

'Yes, the lumber business here has, like everything else, improved recently and the outlook for the remainder of the year is exceedingly bright" said R. M. Jenkins the well known lumber dealer.
 "A big wave of prosperity has struck the Birmingham district. It looks good to see so many pig iron furnaces in blast. The advance in the price of iron and the advance in the price of lumber came along about the same time and when these two interests are prospering it may be set down as almost a certainty that 1 nearly all other branches of trade are active.
 q believe that before we are we'll Into the fall all labor in the district will be | employed. The small as well as the large industries will be operating at something | like full capacity as a rule
 Some lines of business will be above normal, while others may not reach nor nal, but there will be high average. | We have been reading that prosperity was coming and now that we see it, people generally should feel in fine | spirits

Great Wave of Prosperity

Some months ago when far-seeing prophets of the business world began to forecast revival of industrial ac- tivity and wide improvement in gen. eral trade certain conservative leaders expressed doubts as to anything like a return to normal conditions while the European war lasted.
 But the optimists gave reasons for predicting an early coming of new era of prosperity era that would witness greater thrift than ever known in this country before.
 The end of the war is not in sight, but the prophets of good times in this broad land of ours have been vindi- cated. Prosperity has been prevailing in the north for sometime past, partly because of the immense volume of business growing directly out of war supply contracts; partly because of the record-breaking grain production and the high prices obtaining, and partly because of the successful op- eration of the federal reserve system. In times past the crop movement period always brought with it tight money" In August the stringency in the money market used to be so acute as to affect seriously commercial &C., tivities. But who hears of tight money today? The federal reserve bank law has brought the change.
 The prosperity wave has extended to almost every section of the United States and within the next few weeks there will be scarcely community, north or south, left out of the pros perity zone.
 The Birmingham district was head ed for a boom in June, and the boom is now here. The pay rolls have been increasing steadily and they will con- tinue to increase. The price of pig iron has recently advanced more than dollar a ton. A large tonnage was sold here a day or two ago at $11 on a No. 2 foundry basis and the price for next years delivery is quoted at $12.50. There is good profit in the pig metal at those figures. But the market is going higher
 The lumber trade, which had been extremely dull during the first half of the year, is again active, and the price has advanced $2 thousand. The coal operators are at last able to report improvement with bright outlook for the last half of the year. The railroads in Alabama are par ticipating and very largely, too, in the new prosperity.
 There will be work enough for everybody in and around Birmingham the rest of this year and the merchants who felt the depression of the months gone by will soon forget that they had ever heard of hard times.

Business and Presidential Politics

An era of good business was due, and past due, and we would have had some measure of prosperity, even if democratic politicians were not approved by the big Interests but one of the clements enter ing into the marked and safe improve ment is. in my opinion, the administra- tion's note of friendliness toward all legitimate business, no matter how big the corporation, which was recently sur sounded in Washington" said w. P Rogers of Pittsburg. Trust busting just for the sake of marrying large business concerns, is thing of the past. And it certainly helps.
 T was republican-progressiv in 1912 but it is more than likely that l will vote for MT. Wilson next time"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1915-08-08

In connection with a Montgomery dis patch in yesterdays Age-Herald the ex- pression was used that Mrs. Bessie O'Brien Hundley, the well known suf- frage leader, had said "the Biblical say Pg that all men are liars has been ex- emplified by committees action in ad- versing suffrage bill" Mrs. Hundley as- sures The Age-Herald that she not only never used such an expression, but fur ther. had no such thought The Age Herald regrets the embarrassment caused Mrs. Hundley by the publication and cheerfully apologizes for unintentionally attributing to her language which she did not use.

Another Good School Measure

The legislature has adopted several bills for the betterment of the public school system of the state, and one of the best of them was that which passed the house Friday, providing for a reorganization of the country school boards and changing the method of electing the county super intendents.
 It was a senate bill, but when it came up in the house it met with much opposition, although the majority in it's favor was decisive. Under the old law the county superintendent has been elected by the people, but under the new law that official will be se- lected by the county board of educa- ton. Another change is in the elec- tion of the members of the board. Heretofore they have been chosen by district trustees. Under the new act they will be elected by the people. The board will elect the county teach CTS on the recommendation of the superintendent, who, in every county, will be required to give his entire time to the school work.
 The opponents of the measure made point that the change in the man. ner of choosing the superintendent was undemocratic, but that contention was offset by the fact that the people, under the new bill, will elect the board, and these persons so chosen will, it is believed, be better able to choose a superintendent, requiring, as he does, special qualifications, than were the people. Prominent educators wbo have given the county system much thought, have been earnest ad- vocates of the change.
 The bill goes back to the senate with two unimportant amendments The first election of members of the board will be held in November, 1916 and at the same time the school tas amendment bill, which was adopted last winter, will be submitted to tho voters of the state for their ratifica tion.
 No matter how much disapprova some of the acts of this legislatur' may have caused all friends of educa ton gladly indorse the good, practica

The Meanest Thief

Sometimes the admission that these are degenerate days is almost wrung from the careful observer.
 Thieves there have always been, since the world was in its infancy. First, our savage forefathers proba- ply stole battleaxes, or cattle, or possi- ply even women but they fought for the prize in the open, fought as man to man, and acted on the principle that "to the victor belongs the prize." A low standard of morals? Certainly. But it at least involved the virtue of Straightforward action.
 Even the highwayman of the mid dle ages whose life depended upon the fleetness of his horse and the strength of his sword arm, may be invested with a glamor of romantic interest.
 But of all the despicable creatures that cucumber the earth the sneak thief is the most contemptible- certain of this despicable class in Chi cago have reached the acme of mean ness.
 While the victims of the Eastland disaster lay in their homes awaiting burial, sneak thieves, sad of face and dressed in mourning, stole into the homes in the guise of friends of the deceased. There they would kneel with the mourners or beside the shroudec bodies, and as often as opportunity presented, stole jewelry from the dead or from the distracted mourners.
 Even pictures and furniture were
