RECORD ATTENDANCE EXPECTED
FOR THE SHCOOL YEAR OF
1915 AND 1916.
FOOTBALL GAME SATURDAY
Grangeville Will Play First Game of
Season With Nezperce--Many of
the Old Players in the Lineup.

The enrolment at the end of the
first week of school IN Grangeville this
year showed very satisfactory in
crease over last year and indicates that
the efficiency of the local school is be-
ginning to be more and more appre-
eiated on the outside. The number of
pupils who enrolled last week numbered
367 as compared with 342 of last year.
This is very substantial increase and
by no means marks the highest enroll
ment of the year. The increase has
been gradual and in 1913 there were
346 enrolled and in 1914 35S. Start
ing off with 367 this year indicates a
record attendance.
Ten of the gain ia enrolment of
pupils is in the high school. Outside
pupils always increase the efficiency of
the school for the reason that they
come here for work and expect to gain
the greatest benefit from their study
that the school affords. The pupils are
more interested in their work than usual
is the report of the instructors. The
increase in the numbers attending comes
as a surprise to some who have
thought the attendance was decreasing.
Grangeville affords the greatest pos
sibilities for high school education

Local Performers
Above all the local performers from
the Salmon river country should not be
forgotten and this section affords some
talent that can only make the Border
Days show success. A large delega-
tion are up from the Salmon and Snake
rivers helping to make show of merit
by helping in the direction and parti-
cipating in every event. They were
very much in evidence in the saddle
horse parade the first day. Bill Jones,
Monte Jarrett, Bob Gill, Roy Nevin,
Bill Rookie, Wallace .tarret and Bert
Decker are giving valuable assistance
in the parades and at the Border Days
grounds. Others including McSpedden,
Church, Collins and Dolf Smith are also
lending valuable assistance as both
helpers and participants in the events.
Every section of the county has its re-
presentatives here who are taking ex-
ceptional interest in the show.
The streets are fillel with happy
throng of people who are thoroughly en-
joying themselves: There is good order
and no trouble. The howery has been
filled with those who like dancing and
the picture show and other attractions
amuse and entertain. The Grangeville
Cowboy band under The direction of
Professor Morris is fur nishing splendid
music and plenty of it.
First Days Events.
Wednesdays program started off
with the saddle horse and livestock
parade and as this is the celebration
for the cowman and the cowgirl and
their mounts, the horse took precedence
and the autoes came last in the parade.

suit for the division of property of the
former marriage of the two, parties.
Summary of TERMS Work.
Court has been in session during this
term for period of about thirty days
but nevertheless large volume of bust
ness has been disposed of. The criminal
calendar was large and the trial of the
criminal cases took the greatest
amount of time. There were very few
civil jury eases to be heard at this
term, the majority not being at issue
and ready for trial. Two were tried,
these being the case of Davis Brothers
VS.. s. Bicklet, alias Samuel George, in
which verdict was awarded the defen-
dant; and in the other J. D. Hendren
VS.. Burt Cressler, constable of Tahoe
precinct, a verdict was awarded the
plaintiff.
The Criminal Calendar.
The criminal calendar was heavy
There were two acquittals, George
Robinson being freed of the charge of
assault with a deadly weapon, and John
huffman being cleared of the chrge of
cattle stealing. The latter case was a
hangover from the last term when the
of State vs. Peter Bies, Jack Gibson
and Dorsch, the defendant Jack Gibson
was taken up on a charge of jumping
his bail and was taFen before the court
and plead guilty, receiving fine OF
$500. The other defendants plead
guilty at the last term.

THE ARMENIAN ATROCITIES.
(Boston Record.)

The Armenian atrocities were first denied and are now justified" by the ingenious Count von Bernstorff. De- nials of the murderous campaign of the Turks is futile. So is the effort at justification. The simple truth is that the Turkish government, encour- aged by German support, feels secure in pursuing it's traditional policy of ,.fseacre and outrage upon people whose chief offense is not being Mos- lens. The Turkish program of atrocity '9d been discouraged by and since Gla6stone's courageous arraignment; Int with the accession of Kaiser Will helms moral and military support there came a recrudescence which has been accelerated under the war condi- lions and the alliance between Ger many and Turkey The sins of Abdul Uaujd did ont die with his elimina- ton For the present abominable course of the Turks against the Ar menian people responsibility rests upon Germany In no small degree And the United States timidly accepts the contention that the Turkish govern uent could endure no interference from outside with it's domestic affairs" For shame

GOETHALS' TASK.
Seattle P.-I.)

NSNaetA6 .-A/
 Gaillard cut, in the Panama canal, is to behave itself in the future. The master builder, Maj. Gen. George w. Goethals, intimates as much when he wthdraws his resignation as governor of the canal zone and hastens back to Lis work from his vacation.
 Nearly one hundred ships have been delayed by the recent stupendous slides of earth, and the emergency de- serves the attention of the man who &s overcome the greater problems of construction. Goethals knows his task nd he has the ability to meet 1t.
 The present problem of Panama arises from the insistence of a neigh boring hill to seek the canal bottom. I his has delayed commerce, made the passage of the waterway an adven-
 and prevented it's free use. Goe- thals has gone back to Panama to sackle this hill. Commerce will be heartcned by his return to work. It will know that at the earliest possible moment the canal will be freed from incubus and returned to the ser vice of the commerce of the world.

THE FUTURE OF MIR. TAFT

(NeW Haven Journal -Courier)
 Events appear to have reached point where a brother of Prof. Tart has felt called upon to state that the former president is not candidate for the presidency, and that, if ap- preached, he possesses the strength to resist capture. This is in keeping with what has been known by his friends of his private resolution.
 on the other hand, 1t is Prof. Tafts own fault that mention of his name l mat connection has been made from time to time. We warned him months ago that, if he did not cease talking sense, he would inevitably have to meet the issue in some form. Here he has been travelling about the coun- try, visiting organizations of a colle- giate, religious and fraternal character and actually considering in their pres ence policies of government and prac- tices of a free society in a sane man. neF. w udt pcudily iS tuCio AoI h hidi who insists upon talking common sense and disclosing no personal re- n t whatever over his failure to be re-elected to the office he held?
 There are a whole lot of us in this country who do not want William Howard Taft to return to the limita- tions and vexations of political life, not that we want withheld from him honors which he might enjoy, but that the country needs the more or les constant advice of a man who has had his political experience and es-. capped from it with unimpaired diges- ten Our retired public officials usually scold the life out of us and bore us to death with their rejected phlosophies.

ALL NEUTRALS CONCERNED.
Seattle P.-I.)


 In the position it has taken, both with the government of Germany and that of Great Britain, the United States Is not speaking alone for itself but for all the others neutral countries of the world. Any abandonment of the position which this country has as- sumed would be an abandonment not alone of American rights, but of the rights of all other countries now neu- tral or which may be neutral in fu- ture wars. It is an attitude which demands the supremacy of law above force
 These are points which are brought out in a lengthy editorial In the Niewe tourant, one of the leading journals of the Netherlands, which expresses its warm approval of the American attitude and of the latest-possibly .ast-American note to Germany on tn. subject.
 If the neutral nations of the world should abandon their present conten- tion that warning nations must at all times and under all circumstances re- frain from interference with the sov- -eign rights of neutrals. they sur lender the whole case of neutral rights and also the supremacy of the law above force. The Dutch paper does not hesitate to declare that If the Uni ed States and other neutrals abandon ne position which they have thus far saken they surrender practically all the rights which neutrals now have.
 The Netherlands. 1t believes, would lave to recognize as valid even the invasion of its territory, should Ger many assert that it is necessary to .ommit such an act in order to main- ain its existence Nor Is this as far etched as some may conceive. The waters of the open ocean are as neu- .ral, under the settled laws of nations, 8 is the territory of any neutral na- ion. An invasion of the rights of neu- erals on the open waters of the ocean, is identical in effect with the invasion neutral land territory. If one is permitted to pass without protest the other must be.

 There's the problem. It is not a wholesome situation. It offers one of the indictments against war. We sug- s,est no solution; we have seen no honorable solution suggested. We have cen mention of the possibility of tacit recognition of polygamy. We have seen mention of the possibility of the states standing sponsor for children porn out of wedlock We have seen mention of the possibility of assisted emigratio of women from Europe to other countries where the supply of men is larger.
