ent crisis with Germany.
Since he became memb Der of the

gone about his work in quiet, unos-
tentatious way, and his appointment on
the Conference Committee is in recog-
milton of the thorough knowledge he

necessary to rush to the public prints,
even in the papers that are friendly to
him, 10 declare time and time again
that he was standing behind the Pres
dent, or that he was still a member of
the Democratic party.

STATE GENEALOGICAL
SOCIETY lobe FORMED

M. w. Wood, president OF the Idaho
Society. Sons of American Revolution
and Frank @. Ensign, secretary, have
issued a. cali for a meeting 20 be held
at the Boise Commercial club tomor-
row night when an Idaho State Gene
Illogical society will be formed. The
call says in part:
In the human race, the science and
laws of heredity have, as yet, been all
most entirely ignored, but the growing
interest in their ancestry by Ameri-
cans shows that they are awaking to
the value of such knowledge. That man
is the sum Of his ancestors, at birth, is
a truism given more recognition every
day, and to know who were the great
grandparents of ones great grandpar-
ents Ia now the lowest limit OF the am
bition of most people. And, knowing
this, they are not satisfied until they
know their ancestry as far back as
possible. verifying or disproVinK tho
family traditions which they have in
herited. The more you know of your
ancestry, the more fascination this
study affords. No one knows 1t all,
and but few know much Of II, but those
who know most Of it have realized this
study is not only fascinating but en-
nobling, like any other wisdom, and
that such knowledge helps 10 keep US
in the path" when we have learned
why we are what we are.
The acquisition Of such knowledge
is very much facilitated BY the accu-
mutations Of genealogical societies. and
Il is seriously proposed TO form an

comparatively large collection Of wen

that in order for it to pass there must
have been a change of beneficiary in
accordance with the provisions of the
insurance policy. It seems to me that
this is not true where, as in the pres
ent case. the policy provides that the
insurance shall be paid to the insured s
executors, administrators or assigns.
1t was unnecessary for Edward Lemp
to name another beneficiary unless he
chose to do so. The fact that he did
not do SO shows that he did not choose
to do So The point would be prop
erly raised If he had tried to change
the beneficiary but had not done it in
accordance With the provisions of the
policy.
The second contention is that the
insurance money must be specifically
referred to in the will in order to pass
by it. 1t seems to me that this holds
true whereby the terms OF the policy
or Of an express statute the insurance
goes to the wife. and where this result
may be changed by express request.
Such are not the facts in the case
do not see any reason for treating
the insurance money differently from
other personal property under the
statutes OF this state"
Discussing the will at length Judge
Mccarthy says among other things
Overrules Probate Court.
THE will says, I give, bequeath and
devise all of my estate of whatsoever
kind or nature and wherever situated.
The supreme court Of this state, In the
case OF Wilson versus Linder, is Ida,
446, holds that in constituting q will
everything within its four corners must
be considered in order to determine the
intent Of the testator. Applying that
rule to the present case, considering
the entire will and the surrounding
circumstances, 1t seems to me that it
was the evident intention OF the tenta-
tor to leave everything he had to his
brothers. A man may dispose Of all
of his property thinking of it in a COL
lective way without adverting specifi-
cally to each portion of it either in
writing or even mentally. / am salts
fled that he meant to include every
thing, that the language OF the be-
queathing portion of the win is broad
enough to include everything and that
the insurance money passes to the
brothers.
In case of doubt, the rule that a
construction which win prevent partial
intestacy should be favored is entitled
