WoMANHooD AT ITS BEST AND
AT IT'S WORST.

The following account written By
Sister Jerome, a sister OF Our Lady
of the Apostles, of Loango, French
Congo, enables us to see>what wom-
anhood owes to the religion OF Christ.
Between the Sisters on the one hand
and the degraded negresses on The
other, there is as much difference as
between earth and heaven; yet that
difference is merely the gulf which
separates r~egenerated from unre-
Generated humanity. without the
divine assistance writes the Sister,
the formation of Christian women
in this empire of satan would be an
utter impossibility; for these poor
creatures are everywhere treated as
slaves in this country, the most
savage and neglected in the universe.
Yet strange to say these very women
are the mistresses of the kingdom
of satSn and the devil rules them,
1 assure you, with a rod Of iron. Our
work among the girls fills him with
rage: fer he well knows if they who
are. the cause of SO many evils be-
come Christians his power is at an
end. He attacks us therefore in
every conceivable way.
The women ere the ~richesiof the
country, the current coin bf the
realm. They do the work of the men,
thus reversing the order of things.

CHRISTIANS LEARN TO PRAY
FOR DEAD.

Even after their conversion, it fire.
quently happens that the missionary
finds great difficulty in persuading
new Christians to give up their
pagan customs. Fathc3 keTkhoff
writes that, for the first time since
his arrival in Nagalama, fourteen
years ago, he offered Z requiem Mass
for a native at the request 81 an
other native.
He and the other missionaries have
preached time and time again on the
subject of remembering the dead by
praying for them and having Masses
offered for their souls, instead Of
honoring their memory By roasting
and dancing. Up to this time, how
ever, little notice has been taken OF
the good advice, and the feasting has
gone on as usual.
Father Kerkhoff, therefore, was
very happy when a Catholic native
came to him recently and said that,
as far as his family was concerned,
there was to be an end Of the old
custom, and that he wished to have

THE POLITICAL BOSS.

.0]l1

The political bosses do not like to be
called bosses. They prefer to pose as
I" leaders loyal party leaders-whose
duty it is to guide the dear people
in the way they should go. The polit-
zeal boss--no matter to what party he
belongs-should be stripped of his
power. Bosses are not confined to ma
tional and state politics. You can find
them in every district in every county
and in every city and village.
We would like to see different sys-
tenn in vogue, and we would like to see
it make the start right in this vicinity.
Why not let every voter make his own
decision when it comes to electing men
to public Office without advice or in
timldation from any sOurces Occa-
sionalIy good men slip into Office under
the boss system. In fact we have had
many such men in Office right in our own
midst, and will continue to have them;
but it is well to let the people make
their own selections without persuasion
or interference fron amy party bosses.
The day is not far distant when the
political bosses will be Just voters, as
the rest Of us have been for these many
years.
Speed the day ana push it along!-

BODY FOUND THROUGH DREAM

A dispatch from Libby, Wash, gives
an account of "A most peculiar psychic
phenomenon, through which the where
abouts of the body of Dallas A. Greene,
a l9-year-old boy who was murdered
about April "a, was discovered The
father of the boy, wealthy real estate
dealer of Spokane, several nights pre-
vions to the discovery of the body, had
a most. vivid dream in which was re-
vealed the manner in which his son had
been killed, and the location, which
had appeared as a deserted sheep camp.
Mr.. Greene Immediately set out for
Troy, WASH, and superintendent a
search, and when arriving at deserted
sheep ranch declared that that was the
spot he had seen in his dream. A short
search soon revealed the body of the
son, which had been hidden in a brush
heap. AS a result of the finding of
the body, J. G. Miller, cowboy and lum.

stating that Greene had left for Spo-
kane, turning the stock over to him
in payment of an old debt.

PREPAREDNESS MEASURE
NOW UP TO WILSON

Congress last Saturday completed its
part in the enactment OF the first of the
preparedness measures, the army reor-
yanization bill, and sent the measure up
to President Wilson for his signature.
The House approved, with only 20
dissenting votes, the conference report
of the army measure, which already had
been accepted by the Senate. 1t pro-
vides for regular army with peace
strength of more than 100000 men,
backed by a federalized national guard
of more than 100000, and carries many
reorganization features worked out by
the war department officials to make the
nations fighting arm more efficient.
The complete main elements of the
program of preparedness, on which the
administration plans to spend more than
wears. Congress still has to perfect and
increases, and the Notifications boil,
which includes provision for most OF
the equipment for the increased army.
Besides personnel increases, the meas
ure provides for government nitrate
manufacturing plant to cost not more
than $40, 900 900; for the establishment
of a system of military training camps
for civilians, paid out of the federal
treasury; for board to investigate the
advisability of establishing govern
ment munitions plant, and for vocation
al education in the army. Federaliza-
ton of the national guard would be ac.
complished through federal pay, and
through requirement making the
guardsmen subject to the orders OF the
President.

RAISES NEW, POINT OF LAW.

Sheriff Pfell. of Shoshone county, up
in northern Idaho, with his deputies
captured an automobile crossing the
State line of wet Montana into dry
Idaho, with two men and 80 gallons of
liquor, all of which was cOnfiscated, the
men arrested and the auto held.
One of the problems arising in con-
nection with the arrest, Says the Wal
lace Times is the disposition to be made
of the automobile. Under the laws of
the State it is altogether probable that
the machine may be classed as means
of importing and disposing of liquor,
and as such must be advertised and de-
strOyed. The car has been taken in
charge by Sheriff Pfell and will be held
until there is a court decision as to its
disposition.

IF WE KNEW.

Could We but draw back the curtain
That surround each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit,
Know what spur the action gives,
We would love each other better,
Often we would find it better
If We only understood.
If we knew the cares and trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain,
And the bitter disappointment
Understood the loss and gain
Would the grim external roughness
Seem, wonder, just the same!
Would we help where now We hinder;
Would we pity where we blame!
All! we judge each other harshly,
Knowing not life's hidden force;
Knowing not the fOunt of action
Is less turbid at its source;
Seeing not amid the evil
All the golden grains of good;
Oh, we'd love each other better
If We emily understood.

EMPEY ELECTED WATER
MASTER FOR SNAKE

John Empey, of Idaho Falls, presi-
ton association, was elected water
master for the upper Snake river at a
conference of representatives of water
users held in the office of the state en-
gineer on Saturday.
There We're present at the conference
d. w. Cole, manager of the Boise pro
ject, representing the United States
reclamation service; Mr.. ConkliMg, an
engineer of the reclamation service;
Mr.. StOutmeyer, counsel for the recla-
nation service; G. G. Baldwin, of the
geological survey department; w. o.
Taylor, secretary treasurer of the Twin
Falls Canal company; r. T.. Shepherd,
of the Twin Falls North Side Land &
Water. company, and +. II. Blossom, an
engineer of the American Falls Canal
company
Jackson Lake Problem.
The purpose of the meeting was to
discuss ways and means of handling
storage water from jackson Lake res
ervoir. The reservoir has a capacity of
100000 acre feet, of which the Twin
Falls North Side company is entitled to
305 900, the MinidOka project $4,000,
and the Twin Falls Canal company 95,.
900 acre feet.
The discussion began at 10 A. NJ, and
| was continued until late in the after
noon. 1t was harmonious throughout.
there being no division of opinion on
any point being raised.
John Empey will have charge of
| the water. Under him will be "a special
deputy from the State engineers of
flee and the necessary number of river
riders. There will also be hydrogra-
pher with headquarters at Idaho Falls.
A committee consisting of +. ii. Bios
som, Mr.. Conkling and f. A. Wilkic,
deputy State engineer was appointed
to determine the quantities that should
be allowed for return flow this season.
| Transmission Losses.
| Another committee, made up of j. G.
POrterfeld, Of Twin Falls, Mr.. Crandall
of the North Side Twin Falls, Mr.. Bios
som, of American Falls, Mr.. Baldwin,
of the geological survey, and repre-.
sentative of the State engineer, was
appointed to suggest plan for deter
mining the water transmission losses
in Snake rievr between the Jackson
lake reservoir and the Miller dam. This
committee will report to the water
users, submitting an estimate of the
cost of carrying out the plan to be
recommended. The task assigned to this
committee is extremely difficult and an
early report is not expected.
The problem Of handling storage
water on the upper Snake river is new
\ and it is possible that difficulties may
be encountered at the outset. The
abundance of water this year is likely
to make it easier to supply all users
and it is confidently believed that by
the time extreme care in distribution
is necessary, a system of handling the
storage water will have been devel.
oped which will prove satisfactory tn
all users. There is disposition on all
sides to be fair, which was fully dem
onstrated at Saturdays meeting.
