resident of Emmett. He was
born in West Stockholm, N. Y,
November IL, 1917. He received his
education in his native state. When 81
years old he travelled with Sands &
Woodburn's Caravan circus and took
up his residence at Monmouth, ILL.,.
Then followed eight years of service
as engineer on steamboats,, four years
on the Edward Shipper plying on the
Mississippi river and four years on the
Red Bird, running between New York
and New Orleans. He then went to
Kankakee, Ind, where he studied sur
veying and followed that profession
for 40 years. In 1887 he moved to
Gentry county, Mo-, where on Septem-
Der IL, 1912, he married Nancy Jane
Martin. He came to Idaho in 1884
and settled near Emmett. He was a |
veteran of the Civil war, serving six
months in Co. r, 9th Missouri in

ton of Emmett. His eldest son, Will I
liam, is 70 years of age and served
four years in the army during the

active and clear mind up to the time {
of his death. He possessed Won |
derful memory, and was a walking
encyclopedia on important events and I
dates from his boyhood days to the !
present year. His life had been an |
active anc useful one, and
was blessed with the respect and es- |
TEEN of his neighbors and acquaint- r
ances. The funeral services were in

the home, Rev. A. c. Lathrop spoke
briefly, and at the grave Richard Bar =

Without doubt, some of the most
sensational, thrilling, death-defyine
wild animal acts ever shown are pre-
sented by the Al G. Barnes Wild Ami
NAL Circus.
Over 400 educated wild and domestic
animals are used in giving the per-
Torrance of this show, the greatest
collection of trained animals ever as
sembled under one management.
SiXty-five sensational, amusing,
thrilling acts are presented at each
performance. The acts are given in
two divisions, the wild animal acts in
a large steel barred arena in the CEN
ter of the big tent and those of the
domestic animals in the regulation
sawdust rings at either side of the
arena.

More Pistol Law Proof.

Just as a fresh object lesson in the
need of new legislation, special in
quiry should be made, in investigat-
ing the murderous shooting affair last
night at the corner of 18th and B
streets, to ascertain where the man
who desperately wounded a woman,
a police officer and a civilian OBJ
tained his weapon and ammunition.
He appeared to have had plenty Of
cartridges, shooting many times at
his various targets. Under the pres
ent laws he could have armed himself

law which has been proposed several

for him in this jurisdiction to have
complied with certain restrictive re-

official for a permit to buy weapon
or cartridges, giving references as
to character and some proof as to

to both sides. This country is not re-
sponsible for the condition which
makes it impossible for Germany and
Austria to receive supplies bought
here. That is the fortune Of the war.
The United States cannot permit
German or Austrian agents to at
tempt to overcome the handicap
which that condition imposes by
carrying the war into this country
and by fires and explosions to seek to
cripple the industrial plants from
which the allies are now obtaining
munitions. In the broadest sense
these activities are a violation OF
American neutrality, and as such are
punishable under the federal statutes,
but so exceptional is the situation
that those statutes do not sufficiently
embrace all the present conditions,
and these crimes, which are in their
essence directed against the United
States, must be treated, until the
laws are amended, as state offenses.
1t is not to be doubted that the state
governments will vigorously prose-
cute the enforcement of the law with
in their own jurisdictions and admin
lister proper punishment to the in
cendiaries and their employers and

The Boy Scouts.

Washington's business men and
other citizens are being asked today,
and will continue to be asked tomor-
row and Wednesday, to contribute to
fund of 100000 which is needed to
finance the local Boy Scout organi-
zation for three years. If this fund
is supplied the organization will be
given a sufficient foundation virtual
ly to enable it to maintain itself.
Every dollar of the amount re-
quired should be forthcoming. Wash
ington could not make better in
vestment. The Boy Scout movement
has fully proved its value to the COM
munity in the training of young citi-
zens and should be supported, not
hesitatingly. but eagerly and enthu-
siastically with cash.
About 1900 boys are now in the
local Scout ranks. Washington is
big enough to have at least 5000 Boy
Scouts, and that number is now be-
ing striven for along with the 100000
three-year foundation. With 5000
boys in the ranks learning the prac-
teal, wholesome lessons that are
there taught. the city will be better
and richer than it now is.
Every precept of the Boy Scout
manual is good. Every exercise is

junction of Scoutdom. And the boys
obey it. They acquire the habit of
doing good. OF helpfulness and
thoughtfulness and kindliness.
Washington would be happier city
if every boy of eligible age wore the
khaki of the Scouts and did his "bit t"
daily and weekly. And the least that
Washington can do, while waiting
for the organization to grow to such
size, is to enable it to live without
constant anxiety as to the coming
OF funds for necessary expenses. Ten
thousand dollars a year means an
average OF less than 3 cents for each
person in the District, and about IS
cents for each male adult Consid-
ering the value rendered by the Scout
system to the whole people of the
District, this light contribution should
be gladly given.

comprehensive that the truth should
not be recognized fully both at the
District building and in Congress that
this city is utterly lacking in pro-
lection. If the opposition to the pro-
posed law comes exclusively from the
pistol trade interests the capital is
indeed suffering unde, a sad handi-
cap. Every reasonable consideration
points to the amendment of the
statutes in such way as to pre-
vent indiscriminate, irresponsible per-
sonal armament. Nothing is to be
gained by waiting and lives are Ger

that this question is postponed, and

Diphtheria.

A warning has been issued by the
health department of the District
that diphtheria is unusually preva-
lent here at this time, and it is Off
cially urged that the parents of the
city be alert in the detection of in
clpient cases of this disease. Only
physician can determine the pres
ence Of diphtheria, but if every case
of sore throat" is regarded as pos
sible diphtheretic infection and med
ical examination is Immediately had
much of the danger of disease spread
will be avoided. In its early stages
diphtheria presents symptoms which
are in general similar to those caused
by tonsilitis. and in this resemblance
lies one of the greatest dangers, for
parents of infected children are
prone to use ordinary home remedies
for the throat, such as gargles, which
do not reach the seat of the disease
and are in any case ineffective. The
main danger of diphtheria is that it
is communicable during the early
stage when it does not incapacitate
the patient, and consequently every
child who is in that stage of the
disease, and who is allowed to go to
school or to mingle elsewhere with
other children, is source of dam
ger to them. Especially is this true
in school, though this risk is now less
ened" by the establishment of bubble
fountains to replace the old drinking
cups, which were prolific germ
spreader. Diphtheria is not now
rated as highly dangerous disease,
as a result of the development of
serum treatment which has greatly
reduced the percentage of fatality,
but it is nevertheless so serious an
affection that every precaution
against it must be taken. 1t should
not be regarded by parents as one of
the necessary diseases that are ira
ditionally accepted as inevitable in
childhood. 1t can be eradicated if all
throat infections of whatever ma
ture are promptly called to the atten-
ton of medical men.

The Prosecution of Plotters.

ment that the state governments have
been requested to cooperate with

OF persons detected in plotting
against the property of American
citizens, in the hope of crippling es-
Adjustments that are filling war mu-
nitions orders, signifies that it is
realized at the Department OF JUS
tice that the federal statutes do not
adequately cover these crimes. Spe-
cifcally, the jurisdiction of the
United States is limited to crimes
that occur upon territory exclusive
ly under federal control This means
that in most cases of the so-called
bomb conspiracies and crimes the Of
fenses are punishable only under
state laws. There is no suggestion
OF conflict between federal and state
authorities. On the contrary, the an
nouncement by the Attorney General
indicates that there will be the full
est cooperation by the officers of
the United States with those of the
states in the pursuit and prosecution
of those accused of plotting to de-
stroy munitions plants and transport
facilities, and to cripple these indus
tries by the Withdrawal of workmen.
The United States has formally de-
clared in a note to the Austrian gov
