tablished Two Years Ago

Honored Social Function.
NO STEPS TAKEN
BY THE CITIZENS
Lapse Two Years Ago
Served to Apparently De-
stroy Interest in Biennial
Event Observed Since
Statehood.

History Is very likely to repeat itself
In the matter of an inaugural ball in
Idaho and there is about as much pros
pect of one being held with the inaug
uration of state officials in January,
1917, as there was when they were in
augurated two years ago. In other
words. there will be no inaugural ball
While Governor Alexander has not
openly so stated. it was gathered from
a conversation with him that he is no
more enthusiastic for an inaugural ball
now than when he was first elected
governor two years ago. There is a
possibility that a reception may be
held so that the state officials elect
may be given an opportunity to meet
many people, but even that is remote.
CUSTOM OF BOISE CITIZENS.
Up until two years ago it had been
the custom, since statehood, for the
citizens of Boise to arrange an inaug
ural ball for the newly elected state
officials and the members of the legis-
lature. Two years ago no steps We're
taken for an inaugural ball after the
governor expressed his dlsapproval
and this year the citizens usually in
charge of the affair made no move
whatever. interest in it having appar-
emily waned by unanimous consent.
BELIEVES 1T OUT OF PLACE.
When he was elected governor two
years ago, Governor Alexander took
the stand that with half the world at
war and Europe oVerrun with blood, in
augural balls We're out of place. 1t is
said ne has not changed his mind.
The governor also took the stand
that the people who elevated him to
the highest office within their gift are
not the ones who attend inaugural
ball.
NO SPECIAL SESSION.
Some time ago 1t was pointed out
that owing to the fact Jan. !, 1917 falls
on Monday state officials will be in
ausurated one week before the legis-
lature convenes, which is the first time
such "a peculiar situation has arisen
in Idaho Usually state officials and
members of the Legislature have been
inaugurated on the same day.
This in itself makes a hitch in the
program. 1t can only be overcome by
converting the new legislature in spe-
cial session on the same day the state
officials are inaugLrated, and that is
not likely, it is said. owing to the ex-
pense.

spoke on The Greatest Thing in the
Universe-Energy." He illustrated the
first part of his lecture by examples
of plant life. THE three greatest
things in education, or the trinity of
education,' are knowledge, ability to
apply knowledge in a definite way
and an alert imagination whose fruits
may benefit others he said. DIR.
Brannon laid great deal of stress
and emphasis on the study of science
as well as history and philosophy.
To know the truth that it may be
used, and to know the underlying
forces that tend to make success
full career are important factors in
life.
DIR. Brannon was listened to with a
great deal more attention than is usu-
ally accorded a speaker. The lecture
was thoroughly enjoyed by every one.

SUCCESS is DOUBTED.

Whether Lloyd George, whose action
led to the disruption of the coalition
government and resignation of As
quith, would have any greater sue
cess in forming ministry than Bonar
Law, is question which Is unan-
swered. Political writer's predict that
Asquith will be back at the head of
the government before many days.

MAY BE AN ELECTION.

There is much talk of the posi-
bilities of general election. Mr.. Bonar
Law would first form a cabinet. if he
takes office. as it is necessary that
the government be carried on. and
then appeal to the electors for a rati-
fication of his administration.
There is strong opposition, how
ever to any political campaign which
must necessarily avert the country's
energies from the war work while it
lasted, and the new government NAV
decide to go ahead with the approval
or the house of commons only and
not Of the voters.

night and there were some doubts
whether he will accept the heavy re-
sponsibility. If he declines, it is con-
sidered certain that the honor will
fall to David Lloyd George. The
continuation of the coalition cabinet
with some changes in it's membership
and the speeding up of the war man
agement will be the policy in either
event.
DAY OF EXCITEMENT.
The premier's decision to resign and
advise the king to summon Andrew
Bonar Law to form a cabinet was
taken after a day of extraordinary
political excitement and activity
There were constant comings and go
ings of the political leaders between
Downing street and the various gov
eminent departments. Mr.. Asquith
met several Unionist leaders in con-
sultation including Earl Curzon, Lord
Robert Cecil and the earl of Derby.
Noticeable absentees from this con-
ference were A. j. Balfour, who is i'll;
Andrew Bonar Law, j. Austen Cham
berlain and Walter Hume Long.
AUDIENCE WITH KING.
Later in the afternoon the premier
met his supporters, including Viscount
Grey Lewis Harcourt, Edwin S. Mon
tagu, the marquis of Crewe, Reginald
Mckenna, Walter Runciman, Lord
Buckma3ter, II. Samuel, Lord Reading
and Arthur Henderson. The meeting
lasted for more than an hour and 1t
is supposed that Mr.. Asquith ex-
planned that he was faced by almost
insuperable obstacles to the reconciI-
iation of the conflicting interests and
intended to tender his resignation. AL
most immediately the premier drove
to the palace and had an audience
with the king.
1t now is remarked that when Mr..
Asquith was asked in the house of
commons Monday If food dictator
had been ap- tinted. he replied sharp
ly:
