UNITED STATES TO BE PEACE
MAKER.
Hear DR.. Green at the Methods
Church April 10th, 1915.

DR.. Thomas E. Green last night
not only entertained, but aroused to
high pitch of enthusiasm large
audience at the Auditorium with his
exceptionally brilliant lecture on "The
Forces that Failed"
He took the condition of the Eu-
roPean nations at the beginning of the
war, showed that there had been a
wide scope of preparation for it and
went into what he believed were the
real causes of the conflict.
He gave a vivid word picture of the
war to date, showing himself familiar
with every detail of the terrific strug-
gle and declared that if the nations
in this struggle had stopped 80 days
to consider, the slaughter of many
innocents never would have taken
place. The United States will be the
factor to bring about a world peace,
the speaker believed.
DIR. Green is one of the nations
most able and erudite speakers. He
came to Butte under the auspices of
the Y. M. c. A., as a prominent fea-
ture of the Butte Lyceum Course
From Butte Miner. March 10, 1915.

When it comes to landing offices.
II would seem that the Democrats OF
Caldwell are small potatoes. When
1t was announced that Idaho was to
have Democratic governor they
started out to get the immigration
commissioner, the fish and game ward
en-, member of the utilities commits
sion, the state engineer, state veterin-
arian, state horticultural Inspector
and few other offices of minor i'm
portance. They finally landed a
trusteeship of the home for the feeble
minded and then the appropriation for
that institution was cut down to the
measly sum of $4,000, barely enough
to keep the buildings in repair

 The responses were sprinkled with vVittdcisns and funny stories but with out exception the class members tes- tifed to the many benefits derived from the course. In addition to the higher things gained from the course. such as the development of personal ity and will power and the substitu- ton of positive thinking for negative mental processes, almost without ex- ception the class members who spoke said that their increased efficiency had already been rewarded by increased earnings or advances in salary.
 Mir. Jennings has for seventeen weeks been devoting his full time to the work of instrueting salesmanship classes in New England. Before coming east MT. Jennings had already had considerable experiences both as a salesman and instructor of sales rnans11ip in western associations. He is a graduate of Drake university his personal interest in every one of his more than 250 students in his classes in Bridgeport, Hartford, New Britain. Springfield and Worcester.

his other relatives Asked by Attor- .ney F B. Steiber who appears for Mrs. Colgan if he considered CoIgaIl,s3 Commitment to the hospital for the insane Illegal Judge Coughlin replied:
 Both Judge Hobbs and Judge Ha1- len considered they had been impos- ed upon when they reviewed the ca ses against CoIgan. I say he was rail- roaded consider his condition is normal and that heYis able to attend to his own affairs .''
 When experts disagree who shall decide? Judge Miller may call a third a1ienist for an opinion as to. whether or not Colgan is able to man. age his own affairs. pr. A. R. Dief- endorf, instructor at Yale on the eff; fleets of mental diseases, told the court yesterday that in his opinion MT. CoIgan was not able to manage his own affairs and would not be for some time to come. pr. John e. Lynch of this city said he was convinced that if Colgan would not take intoxicating liquor he would be perfectly compe- tent to manage his own affairs.
 Both pr. Diefendorf and Dr. Lynch. testified to having seen. Colgan at St Vincent's S hospital on March 8, at that time Dr.. Diefendorf said Colgan was in delirium caused by alcoholism He said there was a condition of puss about the teeth to which he had called the attention of the hospital physi- clans and for which Colgan was then given treatment Dr. Diefendorf said he thought it would six or seven weeks before Colgan would sclear up.s' He said he did not believe that Colgan could totally abstain from strong drink for any length of time and that even if he did he thought CoIgan would not be competent to manage hissoWn affairs. Judge Banks proposed that Dr, Diefendorf' examine CoIgan in court and give the judge his opinion as to his present mental fitness. Attorney Steiber. objected and the examination was not made
 Dr. Lynch testified that in his judg- ment Colgan was able to transact his own affairs and would be able so long as he abstained from liquor. In reply to a question from Attorney Steiber he said he was not sure whether or not Colgan. could stop drinking. He be- lieved drinking alcoholic liquor was a habit, not 9 disease. He said he had known a. number of men who after having been hard drinkers for a long period had stopped and never drank again He considered their mental and physical condition had been improved by their abstinence
 Mrs. Colgan, who was the first wit ness to testify, declared that her son had considerable property and that she considered he was not capable of managing his own affairs She said ftllat since 1893 when he was discharged from the employ of the railroad that her son had worked but one year and a half and that he lost his last position because of his habit of drinking too heavily. She said it was her love for him and the fear that he would waste ] all his property and so become Q town

Among those who testified they did not consider Col gan able to manage his. own affairs were Ab<am ztf. a tobacco dealer, Dr. James L. Sullivan and Joseph Lavery. Robert J.
