NEW METHOD in
BABIES CONTEST
BABY WILL BE GIVEN CREDIT FOR
HIS DEVELOPMENT BEYOND
USUAL SIZE AND SCORE
Contests This Year to be for Educa.
ton of Mothers of the
Children

A radical and interesting departure
from the old method of grading babies
entered in the better babies contest
is announced for this year by Mrs
Burton l.. French who will have
charge of the contest at the Latah
County Fair this year. Under the
old method" Mrs French explained
today, "babies who showed a develop
ment equal to that of babies few
months older were reduced in score
because they didn't conform to the
regulation baby; whereas under the
new system which will be employed
in the scoring this year, babies show
ing advance development will be cred
tied favorably with their departure
from the usual average.
For the education of all mothers,
since the number of entries in the
contest is limited and some will not
get the benefit of expert examination
for their babies, the fair association is
making arrangements to show educa-
tional slides on the care of babies,
and this will probably be done before
the grandstand some evening during
the fair Valuable assistance is being
given the committee by the children's
bureau of the department of labor,
D. c., in this matter. The
bureau, through Miss Julia c. Lath-
rop, chief, has sent 200 government
bulletins on the care of babies, and
has offered so slides to be used in
the better babies educational cam
naign, which is really the feature of

Medals, score cards, and certificates
furnished by the Womans Home
arrived this week. Certif-
Gates will be. issued to all entrants.
Mrs. French is very enthusiastic
nd says she has the cooperation of
radically every woman in town in

When president of the United States
William Howard Taft was big enough
to appoint a man of an opposing politi-
cal faith as a member of the United
States supreme court bench; in fact, he
appointed two Democrats and elevated
another to the position of chief justice.
II would seem, therefore, if there is such
a thing as reciprocity and a sense Of
gratitude on the part of a Democratic
president that the choice of a successor
to Justice Lamar might fall on Citizen
William Howard Taft, man whose pre-
elections are decidedly in favor Of ju-
dicial position Of that sort and who has
had considerable experience in lower po-

Is Making Rear End Speeches
Today---Speaks Tonight at

On Board Hughes Special Train,
Salina, Kan, Sept. 1.-Once again Gov
ernor Hughes was "back on wheels"
today, speeding eastward in his cam
paign trip after four days of rest at
Estes Park. Those four days left their
imprint in the governors sunburned
face, smoothing out of the wrinkles
of tiredness that had appeared from
the exertions of the first three weeks of
his campaign, and were reflected in the
republican nominee IS splendid voice. DR..
N. f. Dittman, who has accompanied
the governor since leaving New York,
examined him today and declared him in
perfect physical condition-thereupon
the doctor decided the governor did not
need him any longer and left the party.
Today Hughes had fairly easy pro-
gram-rear end speeches at Hays, here,
Junction City and Lawrence, and set
speeches at Topeka and Kansas City
At the last named place, the nominee
will deliver his biggest speech of the
dav at night meeting.
The republican candidate found
Kansas leaders unanimous in their as
sertions that the Sunflower state would
be overwhelmingly republican. What
was more to his satisfaction. after ex
periences with factional differences
among progressive and regulars in Cali
fornia and Colorado, he found unity
among the two branches in Kansas.
"The progressives and regulars have
declared a truce, for the present cam
paign only, however," was the way
William Allen White of Emporia, form
er progressive leader, summed up tht
situation. "The two forces will joir
for the present-but when this election
is over there will be the same ole
division as to state offices.'

Chicago, Sept. l.-WhlIe congress is
preparing to rush legislation which is
believed will avert a railroad strike,
central western railroad executives to.
day indicated that they would carry
the fight against an eight hour law to
the supreme court of the United States.
Officials said such a bill might post.
pone a strike, but would not settle the
trouble.
That congressional legislation would
be resisted in the courts was indicated
by Hale Holden, president of the Bur
lington, chief spokesman for the west.
ern executives, and f. P. Ripley, pres.
ident of the Santa Fe.
"lt is my understanding that the
supreme court of the United States has
held recently in two cases that con.
gress has absolutely no power to fix
wages and that is what the Adamsor
bill amounts to, according to my under
standing,' said Holden.
Even if congress passes the bill
| that doesn't mean the railroads will
agree to it. / don't think they will,
said President Ripley. "The union.
might accept the bill and postpone the
strike or call it off, but that will moi
settle the matter.
1T would be up to the government
to sue the railroads to compel the pay
men of increase in wages, Then, o.
course. it would be matter for tho
courts.
81 can't see where action by con
gress on this basis would settle tn,
controversy. On the contrary, / don :
think it would" Ripley concluded.
Modification of embargoes by west
ern roads was looked for today. The
announcement by the Santa Fe tina
perishable freight, excepting livestock
would be accepted after Monday a
the owners risk, was taken to meal
that it looked for a postponement o
the strike.
Other trunk lines with headquarter
in Chicago have not yet issued simila
orders, but freight officials are ex
pecting them.
