''We Stand To-day at the Crossroads of Racial Life
and DEATH" Writes Dr.. Stoddard, Who Says
This War Is Destroying the White Mans
Prestige in the Eyes ofthe COIOred Races.

cataclysmic conclusions OF course, in the end
awakened Asia must have gained substantial
emancipation from white tutelage; the sppli-
cation of new forces must sooner or later
modify any given situation. But had Europe's
strength remained intact it would have acted
as a powerful shock absorber, taking up and
distributing the various impacts. As a result
the coming modification OF the worlds race
equilibrium, though inevitable, would have
been so gradual that the process Of readjust-
ment would have been relatively unfelt; II
would have been conservative instead of rad
ical. Such violent breaches did occur
would have been localized and anything like
general race catsclysm probably would have
been impossible
BLOOD TIES FORGOTTEN.
But It was not to be- The heart of the
white world was divided against itself, and

that fatal day nearly two years haze passed,
yet the death graphic becomes steadily more
appalling and there is no end in sight. Each
month sees the white man bleeding whittier;
each month sees his boarded wealth melt
smaller; each month secs the colored world

OF course. we should not let our fears run

for the looming OF such a palpable imminent
menace might force our warning brothers to
compose their quarrel and stay the fratricidal

close Of this war as to fall an unresistng prey

Willard Huntington Wright, Nov-
eIiSt and Art Critic, Says the
Doctrine of the German Phi
I0S0pher Is Not q Vicious
or Ruthless K0jSorISm.

"Diametricallyr' Mr.. Wright answered with
emphasis "In many ways We are the most
cowardly Of all the nations. The moral by
pothesis. the puritanicai dictate, governs all
Of our decisions We subordinate practicable
ity and expediency, even common sense, to
moral senumentalism. We never ask our
selves is an act or law sensible, necessary
or advantageous? We never Investigate its

SENTIMENTAL SACRIFICE.
We can't conceive Of problem except as

way it is We have whole array OF moral

facts Of life to coincide with them. We sacri-

sess those qualities which We have decided are
proper and right they can be moulded into

This sophomore moral point Of view re-
veals an inherent weakness 900 our whole social
fabric. ] can't recall an important law that
has been passed during the last ten years that
isn't at bottom a moral law-that is, law
which is the result OF reasoning founded on
considerations other than the practical merits
of the case.
NOT TOO PROUD TO FIGHT.
Our present Administration has been little
more than a sentimental and religious debauch
Our Mexican policy rests entirely upon puri-
tsnical plattudes Wilson's entire at
titude-his cowardce, his assembling, his
petdfogging, his lack OF initiative, his unwill-
ingness to protect our national honor-is the
exact reverse of Nietzscheanism. Nietzsche
made plea Tor courage, self-respect, personal
and national honor, bravery, resoluteness, de-
termination and honesty. No Netzschean is
too proud 10 fight. He is too proud not to
fight when self-respect is at stake
But what about the American people as
whole?" I put in. Aren't you judging the
national spirit by handful of politicians"
Il don't believe So" answered Mr.. Wright

BUREAU OF ANIMAL
INDUSTRY TO STAY
Letter to Congressman Smith From
Secretary Houston Says 1t VIII Re-
main in State for Year.

A copy of a letter from Secretary
Houston to Congressman Smith, IN
the Bull Herald, relative to the
continuance of the bureau of animal
industry station in this state will an
swer many inquiries in regard to the
matter that have been asked by farm
ers in this vicinity. The letter quoted,
as a careful reading will reveal, does
not state that the bureau will continue
its work here, but simply states that
it will be continued in Idaho, intimat-
ing that changes may be made IN IT'S
operations. 1t was reported some time
ago that there was possibility that
the appropriation for such work might
be discontinued, and the Bull club be-
came very active in petitioning that
this not be done. AS matter Of TACT,
the appropriation has not yet been
made, but in view of the letter from
the department its passage in some
shape is regarded as assured. The
people of the west end are giving the
local business organization credit for
calling the attention of the department
to the matter The story, as pub
lished in the Herald, follows:
At the meeting of the Bull Bust
ness Mems association during Febru-
airy a resolution was passed and for
warded to the department of agricul-
ture at Washington, ID. c., and to con-
gressmen from Idaho to the effect that
the federal station for the control Of
hog cholera in southern Idaho be re-
tanned for the coming two years. The
resolution was passed by the Bull
Commercial club because the station
was about to be discontinued because
of lack of appropriation by congress.
The farmers of this part of Idaho real
ize that much good has come from the
government aid in preventing the
spread Of hog cholera.

AND WANTS LOVE

For the avowed purpose of correct
ing the impression which she believes
the public has formed of her, Theda
Bara, star of the William Fox pro-
duction, Destruction" and known to
millions as "the vampire woman OF the
silent stage" is about to launch
newspaper campaign the cost of which
will run into the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. Miss Bara takes ex-
l.ception to such phrases as 1.-The woman
with the most beautifully wicked face
in all the world" 1.-THE Ishmaelite or
femininity," 1.-THE torpedo of domes-
ITCHY" when linked with her name.
She denies their applicability in that
connection.
Even if it takes every penny OF
the money which have earned" says
Miss Bara, 81 am willing to spend 1t
if by so doing l can alter the public's
opinion of men. How would you like
to be called a vampire woman and
despised by all of your sex If you
were really and truly the exact oppo-
site of that type? At first l didn't
mind the appellation, but now l do
l mind it very much"

ment refreshing" and music for every
taste" the University of Idaho Glee
club will appear in Twin Falls on the

has been spoken of as exceptionally
fine.
Miss Evelyn Cox, soprano soloist,
possesses a charming bell-like voice,
which has a way of captivating audi
ences, and her stage presence, delight
fully graceful, is altogether pleasing.
The press comments she has received
have been flattering in the extreme.
A quartet of syncopating singers Is
also being featured. Some unusual
NEEDLES have been worked up for the
clubs southern trip and will be pre-
scented in addition to the latest rag
hits.
Perhaps the best of the clubs

without a dull moment, and the thor
oughly enjoyable" will undoubtedly be

TAKING THE Escape" written by
Paul Armstrong, as a basis, and
changing few of the minor and
none of the vital parts, d. c. Griffith,
the noted producer of the silent drama
in the film story of the book, has
achieved another triumph, and those
in the two large audiences which saw
the seven-reel production at the Or
pheum last evening unanimously add
ed their commentator to the praise
that has been bestowed upon the pic
ture, alike by the critics and laymen
1.-THE Escape" dealing with the sub
ject of sex hygiene and proper mating
in the marital relations, is a delicate
subject to handle, but Griffith hf~l
handled it in a remarkable way. 1t
required real genius to put "The Es-
cape" across" but Griffith has done
it, and the result is a wonderful les
son, full of vital truths and as an
influence for good cannot be too high
