Humanness in Shakespeare's
Writings Theme of Rev. Or.
Earle Whitley.
''PE0PLE OF THE EARTH"
HIS MAIN CHARACTERS
w. A. Wilbur. Dean of G. W. u,
Also Speaker at Exercises in
Memory of Bard Of Avon.

Shakespeare was pre-eminentiy
human and this in large measure un-
derlies the immortality of his work.
in the opinion OF Rev. DIR. Earle will
fey, pastor of the Vermont Avenue
Christian Church. who was one of the
principal speakers last night at the
Shakespeare tercentenary exercises
held in Memorial Continental Hall un-
der the auspices of George Washington
University.
DR.. Wilfey compared the bard Of
Avons productions with the great
Greek dramas. pointing out that the
| characters in the latter for the most
part were gods or superhumans. where
! as Shakespeare's characters were peo-
pie of the earth. He declared that this
humanness is best reflected in his great
est characters. and it is in these. he as
serted, that we find the touch of the
masters hand, telling his own story.
| The speaker quoted several passages
showing the humanness of the poet.
| taking his selections principally from
the lines of Lady Macbeth"

Woods Workers
On Strike
BOVILL POLE WORKERS ALSO GO OUT
POtlatCh Lumber Company Loses $50 Men
Thrty-F0ur at BOviI Stop Work

A report has reached this city
that about $50 men working for
the Potlatch Lumber company in
the woods in the vicinity of BO-
will struck last week. The re-
port did not state what the de-
mands of the men were but they
are supposed to be higher wages
and shorter hours.
At about the same time thirty
four men working in the pole
yard at Bovin also struck. These
men were peeling poles by the
piece and asked for a twenty per
cent increase in prices paid. The
role company did not feel that it
could afford the raise and quit
work indefinitely.
1t is stated that the men who
quit work are members of the I.
W. w. and that organization is
back of the strike. The organ
ization has had men through that
section soliciting membership
and It is stated that they have the
woods workers in that section
we'll organized. Some fears have
been expressed by operators in
this section that the strike might
spread to this locality but MEM
bers Of the organization at the
headquarters in this city dis
claim all knowledge Of any inten-
ton to call a strike at the present
time.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
WILL MEET THURSDAY

The board of county commits
sioners will hold meeting COM
mencing Thursday morning for
the purpose of equalizing the
assessment of personal property.
Several other matters of impOr-
tance are expected to come before
them at this time. Among other
things which they will take up is
the question of providing quar- e
ters for the prosecuting attorney
and the probate judge.
These officers have had their
offices outside of the court house
for the past term but the COM
missiOners are talking strongly
of preparing Offices in the court
house for them. Two reasons
advanced for this change are the
convenience of the public in hav-
ing all of the offices together anC
the saving of the amount paid f0l
rent of the outside Offices. a

Jan. 8 after the legislature is
sworn in, a public reception will
be held in the rotunda of the
state capitol building to which
the public is cordially invited.
There will be no inaugural ball

split Inauguration is made neces-
sary because for the first time in
the history of the state the leg
islature does not convene on the
same day as state officials are

LIBERAL APPROPRIATION
FOR GOOD ROADS

That the coming session of the
legislature will make a liberal
appropriation for the use of the
state highway commission to
build good roads over the state is
the opinion of Representative
elect Ernest Anderson of Canyon
county, who was minority leader
in the last house. Speaking of
the matter he said:
"All forecasts appear to be that
if the United States can remain
at peace, we will, during the next
few years experience a most wOn-
derful era of Industrial and COM
mercial activity, and with it will
come a widespread development
of state and national highways.
Idaho, in common with neighbor-
ing stoates ought, and l believe
will do her full share in providing
means for the building and main
tenance of good roads. The last
session of congress appropriated
S85, 100000 for good roads, S1O,-
OOO,O 600 OF which will be expended
lin building roads in the forest re-
serves and in the national parks.
"The balance will be appor-
toned among the various states
and Idaho will receive as her
share nearly 100000. OF this
amount we will receive approx
mately 100000 in 1917 and 1920
600 in 1918, but in order that
these amounts shall be set aside
for the building of roads in the
state a similar amount must be
provided by the state. The leg
islature will be called upon tC
provide the necessary appropria-
tions to meet the federal require
ments. If we, as a state can, il
substance, secure for road de-
velopment a dollar from the fed
eral government for every dollar
we ourselves spend, it's a gooC
investment. Under the careful
, direction of the state highwa.
d commission there can be no doub
, about the iudicious expenditur
I Of these funds. Good road
mean higher farm values an.
= more business for our merchant
r. and commercial interests"

MINISTER SELLS
BENEWAH HOMESTEAD

The Rev. Bryant c.. Preston,
formerly pastor of the Plymouth
Congregational church, of SpO-
kane, who homesteaded a fine 100
acre tract of timber and agricul-
tural land in the Occur d'Alene
Indian Reservation about seven
miles west of this city, has sold
his place to David E. Reddekopp,
who owns a homestead within a
mile of the Preston place.
The consideration is reported
as $1,000, of which part was
cash. Mr.. Reddekopp expects to
cut part of the timber off this
winter, according to Mr.. Preston,
and to use the entire place for
grazing in connection with his
dairy enterprise. He was former
ly in the dairy business with his
father in Oregon and shipped
two carloads Of cattle to Tekoa
and drove them overland to his
homestead last spring. He con-
templates shipping in more next
April.
The Preston homestead was
improved with a six-rOOm house
hardwood floors, log outside anC
finished inside. The tract is
watered by springs, one of tn,
largest in that section being neal

pupils are charged ten cents per

FATE OF FORT MEADE

Deadwood Pioneer Times: Fort
Meade is again practically depopu-
lated, and there are those who believe
that if it is never again peopled by
the military it will be better for the
town of Sturgis, Meade county and
the Black HILLS generally, that is if
the government will abandon the post
and sell all the lands of the military
reservation to actual settlers. Set
tiers, they say, are worth more to
the country than soldiers. The post
has been an unsubstantial crutch for
many years, and if taken away, no
one will try to lean upon it. The
supplies for the post are awarded to
the lowest bidder and at rates so low
that there would be no profit to local
merchants or farmers even though
awarded contracts.

GETTING SHORT OF MEN

There are some facts relative to the
European war which even the censors
cannot suppress. Among them is the
growing scarcity of men. England
has exhausted her conscription of un-
married men and is now calling mar
fied men to the colors (this Is in ad-
dition to those who have volunteered).
The French classes of 1917 have gone
to the front meaning boys who are
Is years old. The German landstrum
is under arms and doing real trench
lighting.
The Austro Hungarian empire is in
the worst shape of all, Judging from
reports. It's last official call was for
men from so to 55,.inclusive.
Only Russia and the British
colonies appear to be capable of fur
nishing still larger quotas of young
and middle aged fighting men with
out absolutely draining their race
and paralyzing their Industrial and
commercial activities.

THEIR INHERITANCE

The babies of the warning nations
will receive the burden of the war
debts as their inheritance.
President Van Hise, of the Unlyer-
slty of Wisconsin, estimates the ma
tlonal debts of Great Britain, France,
and Germany at the end of 1915, Civ
ing the total as SO ,419 600, 900 for the
United Kingdom, S7,275, 900, 900 for
Germany, and S1o,314, 100000 for
France He points out that these
figures do not include the local debts
of these nations at the beginning of
the war.
No wonder the statesmen of Europe
are worrying about the increase in
infant mortality. The fewer babies.
the fewer workers it will take mil.
lions of men to pay off even the in
terest on the debts.
And the war is not yet done. What
the principal of this strange inherit
ance will amount to is too enormous
for understanding.
