AUSTRIAN PREMIER
SHOT BY PUBLISHER
Count Karl Stuergkh Killed at Vien-
... ma While Dining; the Mo-
tive was Vengeance

Political differences led to the as
sassination of Count Stuergkh at
Vienna, October 81, by a radical So
cialist publisher. The count had
dined at a hotel with several friends,
and at the close of the meal DR..
Friedrich Adler, unknown to the
count, approached and fired three
shots at him, two of which hit him
in the head and threw him lifeless
into his chair. The head waiter and
one of the guests tried to disarm
Adler, but he jerked free and shot
the latter, Baron Aerenthal in the
foot. Adler then calmly announced
that he knew what he was doing and
would not resist arrest.
Shortly after his arrest DR.. Adler
declared that his reason for killing
Count Stuergkh was that he would
not convene parliament He is man
80 years old, and son of DR.. Victor
Adler, a reichstrat deputy and mild
socialist.

LADIES' LIBRARY STILL
RECEIVING CLASSIC SETS

The past two weeks have seen the
Current Event ladies' library grow
by the addition of several sets of
standard fiction, Thackaray, George
Elliot, Alexander Dumas, Victor
Hugo ana o. Henry. The donors
were Grandma" Holbrook, mother
to all the Blackfoot grown-up child
rem, and who has given reference
books generously before this last
gift; Mr.. Barrett, the plumber; Mr..
Estensen, of the Racket store; and
Mr.. Chamberlain, who has already
given largely to the library.
The library has become a white
elephant. The ladies developed it
with the idea the city would take 1t
off of their hands and maintain it.
They have it at a point where it is
a burden to keep up, and the council
seems about to say: What further
does Blackfoot need? We have a
competent library already"
The story telling committee has
it's hands full, and the children come
in force and fill the little library
rooms with their bright listening
faces The members of the commit
tee are Mrs. f. T. Dubois, Miss
Baron, Mrs. Henry Damn and Mrs.
Earnest Pearson. They are now pre-
pairing a Chrismastide program.

''MELTING POT" is A
TREAT ENTERTAINMENT

Israel Zangwill's great American
success The Melting Pot" played
at the High School auditorium, Sat
urday evening, by troupe of excep-
tional actors of the Redpath Lyceum
organization, presented to a Black
foot audience, generously sprinkled
with hilarious high school girls) an
other of those excellent dramatic
sensations that serve to keep up the
emotional connection between us and
the older settlements down east.
The actors themselves thought
we'll of their audience and remarked
about the quick appreciation that fol-
lowed every point Of the play. 1t
seemed strange the audience could
be brought to applaud with abandon,
alive with excitement one moment,
and the next break into running
laugh at a humorous pass. In fact
the play holds it's audience from start
to catastrophe.
The moral is, bury the past and
worship the future. America is
great crucible into which is poured
the millions of home seekers from all
the old countries of Europe. The
traditions and feuds of the fathers
must be left behind and all these
people live together here in peace,
and send on to their children the
heritage of a free education and a
clean sheet to write on. The hero
is a musical genius who breaches
these things and can not himself
practice them. He finally wins, con-
quers his scruples, a bit suddenly,
and the play is over. We are sorry
for the unfortunates who missed this
play.

FATAL SHOOTING in THE
LITTLE LOST RIVER VALLEY

John Baine, a man who has been
in the employ of Edd Ireland for sew
eral years, was found dead in the
hills of Little Lost valley, Tuesday
morning, October II, with bullet
hole thru his arm and as result
man, named Joe Towles who is en-
ployed by A. M. Myrup as shepherd
er is prisoner in the local Jail, be-
ing held on the charge of murder
Lawrence Busch, Mr.. Ireland's
camp tender, was the first to discover
the dead body. He had stopped at
the ranch the night before for sup
plies and reached camp about 10
o'clock Tuesday morning. When he
arrived at the camp he noticed the
sheep scattered over the hill side and
surmised that something was wrong
and went in search of the herder.
closely guarded by the faithful sheep
dog and the only way in which the
body could be moved was to lasso the
dog and take it away. AS soon as
the body was found Mr.. Busch went
at once to the William Rodgers
ranch where men were delegated to
watch the body until officers could
be communicated with. Justice of
the Peace T. G. Salt was informed
of the tragedy and left at once in
company with DR.. Fox to hold an in
quest and ascertain the cause of the
mans death.
There were no eye witnesses to the
shooting. Towles obtained horse
at the Myrup ranch and it is alleged
made the statement at the ranch
that he had to kill Baine in order
to save himself and left for Arco for
the purpose of giving himself up.
Constable Murray was advised of this
and kept look out for him and
found him about o'clock in a local
barber shop waiting for shave. He
was placed under arrest and is now
being held to await his preliminary
hearing on the twenty-sixth. The de-

DEMAND FOR WESTERN
GROWN SEED INCREASES

During the fall and winter months
of 1915, the pure seed department
of the agricultural extension division
at Boise, had requests for 20 car
loads of guaranteed "clean-produc-
ed" clover and alfalfa seed. These
requests came from five people, rep
resenting farmers organizations in
Minnesota, Illinois and Missouri. AL
tho there is large seed crop in the
middle west this year, the large seed
wholesalers find it necessary to pur-
chase western grown seed, Because
Of the high color of the western
grown seed, it is mixed with the in
ferior colored seed produced in the
section having a larger amount of
rain fall.
The pure seed department urges
the growers to send in representative
samples, weighing at least one-quart-
err of a pound, to be tested according
to the requirements of the state seed
law. At the same time, the amount
of seed for sal and the price desired
should be sent. By so doing, it may
be possible to make advantageous
sails. 1t must be borne in mind that
the requests are chiefly for car lots.
Communities raising such amounts
of clean seed can easily take advant-
age of these requests for car lots
of seed.
A representative of the seed de-
partment has been in the seed grow
ing sections of south Idaho, since
July. He has been urging the grow
ers to produce clean seed, rather than
to produce seed and clean it after
ward. This latter method has prov
en- very unsatisfactory.
AS a, rule the dry season of 1915
has been responsible for larger
yield of weed seeds, and the seed de-
partment is anxious to locate lots of
clean seed.

open until early in the spring, but al
ready he is arranging details.
He points to the success attained at
the Lava Hot Springs, Boise, Twin
Falls, Occur d'Alene, Idaho Falls,
Weiser and other places where the
municipalities keep sanitary inspec-
tors on their payrolls.
Chloride of lime in unstinted guam
titles and liberal use of powdered
borax will be his only ammunition.
He will organize small army of
deputies who will work under his di-
rection. Every town, hamlet and vii
lage will be visited as early as pos
sible in the spring and summer.
Village trustees and town officials
will be asked to join the crusade. If
they refuse, they will be sent to Jail.
The state law makes them respon-
sible for unsanitary conditions, says
Mr.. White.
So thoroly did the inspector clean
up the village of Lava Hot Springs
and the springs last summer that his
offer of 81 for every fly found in
the territory over which he had juris-
diction attracted wide attendtion. For
weeks no flies existed. When he left,
the people became careless, and it
was not until they were again fright
ened into cleaning by the new sup
at the springs that the
flies were driven out a second time.
Twin Falls is held up to the public
by the state sanitary inspector as an
of what town can do if the
people will work together. He says
the alleys there as as clean as the
streets land he proposes to make the
alleys in other towns of the state just
as clean.
Under the terms of the orders Mr..
White will issue, garbage cans are
to become as numerous as automo-

that the cans are used as often as

STAND WITH PRESIDENT
philadelphia Inquire

From the speech of President Will
son at the Gridiron Club dinner we
reprint a few brief extracts:
1.-THE point in national affairs never
lies along the lines of eXpediency. 1t
always rests in the field of principle -
"The United States was not founded
upon any principle of eXpediency; it
was founded upon a profound prin-
ciple of human liberty and of hu-
manity, and whenever it bases its
policy upon any other foundation than
those it builds on the sand and not
on the solid rock"
Justice has nothing to do with
expediency. Justice has nothing to
do with any temporary standard what
ever. 1t is rooted and grounded in
the fundamental instincts of hu-
manity."
America ought to keep out of this
war. She ought to keep out of this
war at the sacrifice of everything eX-
cept this single thing upon which her
character and history are founded
her sense of humanity and justice. If
she sacrifices that, she has ceased to
be- America; she has ceased to enter
tain and to love the traditions which
have made US proud to be Americans,
and when we go about seeking safety
at the expense of humanity, then
for one will believe that have always
been mistaken in what I have con-
ceived to be the spirit of American
history"
Upon the above platform The In
quirer stands side by side with the
President.

SAFETY ENTERTAINMENTS

TIME safety entertainments at the
Technical High School this
week, conducted by the State
Department of Labor and Industry
In cooperation with various Industries
of Harrisburg, provide both thrills and
useful lessons for those who delight
in motion pictures.
Several of the films to be shown
were used at the Panama-Paciflc Ex-
position and all of them combine
heart interest with hints for the pro-
lection of life, limb and property.
They are designed primarily for the
benefit of Industrial workers and
every seat in the big auditorium
should be filled at each of the per-
formances. The idea is new in this
State and it is to be hoped that the
Department of Labor will be sufii-
GENTLY encouraged by success here to
continue the entertainments in other
cities.

4 NEW FASHION CENTER
By Frederic J. Haskin
DARIs is no longer the exclusive |

DAR1S is no longer the exclusive
center of women's fashions. Her
supremacy has been definitely
challenged. At the annual style show
held in Constantinople this month the
styles displayed were from Berlin and
Vienna. The absence of the Partisan
models marks a victory for Germany
in her emancipation from French
fashions; it is the formal announce
ment of their popular defeat in Tur-
key. The Turkish woman, formerly
one of the most enthusiastic disciples
of Paris, has transferred her sartorial
allegiance. From now on Paris is
likely to meet competition all over the
world
While the American woman is still
loyal to Paris, she Is losing her awe
of the Partisan label. Her dawning
independence is evidenced by the fact
that many American buyers this sea-
son are patronizing the smaller shops.
They are refusing to wait a week or
ten days for card of admittance to
the larger showrooms and have
turned to the less formidable con-
Germs where there is often marked
talent. They arc looking for real
models, they assert-not trademarks.
Still this faint indication of re-
bellion does not disturb the sense of
established security which belongs to
the celebrated Partisan designer.
There have been rebellions before. At
the beginning of the war the Amer
leans decided to seize the opportunity
afforded to design their own fashions
yet the next steamer to France
brought an even greater number of
American buyers clamoring for admis-
sion cards. The entrance of Berlin
into the competition, however, is maxi
ing the French take notice. Berlin
is capable of extremely original ideas,
has its own form of art, and is u
rival to be reckoned with. More
over, Americans, who comprise the
largest percentage of the Partisan
clientele, may be lacking in creative
ability but they know art when they
see it, whether in Berlin or Paris.
All of which has served to bring
about certain notable changes in the
attitude of the French designer to-
ward American trade. The Credit
Francois, a Paris bank, has been ap-
pointde to act as an Intermediary be-
tween the buyers and the designers
houses, and to take care of the ship
ment of models. This bank is also en-
gagged in an effort to have the Am
erican tariff reduced on the importa-
tions of Partisan models. Many of
the large couture houses are abolish
ing their ruling for requiring admis-
sion cards, and everything possible is
being done to please American buy
ers. The French women, preoccupied
in their work of making supplies for
the hospitals, have spent little time
and money on their own wardrobes
but they have eXerted themselves
more than ever in creating fashions
and maintaining their monopoly. "All
for the foreigners" is their slogan.
No season has ever presented such
a diversity of styles. The Louis Mn
and XIV periods have furnished most

TOP SEASON Is ON

I'm a downtown street a boy spun
Va top yesterday. It was an old
fashioned wooden top of the
penny variety and he slammed it down
on the pavement nt to drive the plug
up through the center. We knew i'm
mediately that he was a real boy for
he threw his top overland" and he
had carefully trimmed off the knob
that top-makers think so necessary
and which your expert top-spinner alb
hors. Do you remember when you
counted your riches in tops and mar
bles and when the aristocracy of the
school yard was based on ability to
spin one and shoot the other?
Usually it was the poorest, most rag
ged lad in the class who held the title
and you would willingly have changed
your good clothes for his tatters for
the sake of taking his place in the
charmed circle of admirers that stood
wide-eyed about whenever he en-
gagged in a free exhibition of his skill
The boy with a thousand marbles and
countless tops was as envious as the
others-more so, indeed, for he was
learning the oft-times unpleasant but
always wholesome truth that men
base their estimate of a man not so
much on what man has as upon his
worth as an individual and his ability
to do things. Look about you. The
world pays but false homage to him
who is noted for his riches; it reserves
its admiration and it's rewards for the
chap who can spin the top and shoot
the marbles.

success of the plan is not an unrea-
sonable assumption.
There is disposition also to pro-
vide for training camps, like that at
Plattsburg, for those who do not care
to join the Guard, and there is no rea-
son to believe there will be any falling
off OF interest in this branch of train
ing. Friends Of the Continental Army
must relinquish their ambitions at
this time, pending a fair trial of the
plans Congress proposes to enact.

FEDERALIZING THE GUARD

T CAN call up spirits from the vastly
deep" Glendower remarks in
Shakespeare's King Henry w."
Replies Hotspur, "Why, so can I, or so
can any man; but will they come when
you do call for them?"
That is about the situation that the
Federal government finds itself with
respect to the National Guard. The
limitations are many. AS the law
stands the government can call out
the militia ito execute the laws of the
Union. to suppress instructions and
repel invasions," and for no other
purpose; nor can Congress compel
the members to enter the Federal SER
vice in case war breaks out Congress
can declare war, but under the con-
stitution the government is not given
the power to use the militia for the
purpose of carrying on such war
and the whole thing would rest upon
the willingness OF the National Guard
to answer the call to war voluntarily.
Here is where ex-Secretary Garrison's
plan would work out to its ultimate
conclusion and here is where his Con-
tinental Army plan would materialize
in definite action.
But Congress, having determined
that the Continental Army plan is not
feasible. the next thing that must be
done, If the whole army preparedness
program is not to go by the boards, is
the liberalization of the National
Guard The constitutional re~tric
tons cited herewith arc said by many
authorities to be mainly theoretical.
So, too. 1t is possible TO remove by
statute the other contentious that
State and national control OF the
Guard cannot be harmonized. Under

1t will be perfectly feasible to preserve
the State identities and combine all
the advantages of Federal standards
