BOILER ROOM NOISES
LULL BABY TO SLEEP
NEW MODE OF SERVICE FOR IN.
FAINT GUESTS IN pHiLA.
OELPHiA HOTEL.

Mr.. and Mrs. Jesus Gutierrez and
baby entered into the kindly protec-
ton of the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel,
in Philadelphia, without first advising
| the management that the accommOda-
| tons they sought would have to be of
somewhat different character than
usually supplied by any first class hos
telry.
; J. NJ. Frazier, manager of the Belle
vue- Stratford, has been called on at
various times to satisfy odd requests
for service, but young Gutierrez, if he
could speak, would have made demand
for what would seem we'll nigh impos-
Isible to do. He would demand a boiler
factory in his room.A
Mr. Gutierrez is the owner of very
large mines and smelling plants in
ICOpiapO. Chilli and like many other
fortunate people discovered his pos
sessions and through his own efforts
promoted them to where they are
recognized as among the largest in
South America.
Young Gutierrez has been accus-
toned only to the banging and clank-
ing of the boilers and smelters as we'll
as to the noise of the cars and shaft
elevators in the mines. To leave these
surroundings and go into world of
quietude was as disconcerting to the
young man as if you or should leave
our present surroundings for a noisy
life such as he was accustomed to.
Consequently, when the Gutierrez
family boarded a steamer at Valpa-
raise, Chilli, the baby became very an
noying because he would not or could
not sleep. After two days of this an
noyance, Mrs. Gutierrez became fran
tic and appealed to the captain of the
steamer for help. After day of deep
thought on the part of the captain
and his officers, they concluded to fix
up a room next to the boilers. Of
course it was very difficult to occupy
such room comfortably, but through /,
the use of many electric fans this was |
accomplished and baby was happy.
When they arrived at the Bellevue |
after landing at Philadel- |
phia, they encountered the same diff |!
Guilty. Mr. and Mrs Gutierrez both f!
being unaccustomed to the ways of |
American hotels, felt at loss to know
what to do to quiet the baby
Mr.. Frazier was appealed to, but |
could not give them accommodations
N the boiler room, because it would
be rather warm and very uncomfort-
able for the occupants.
Mr. Frazier called into conference
lis chief engineer. and it was decided
hat noise must be transported to the
,aby's room without annoying guests
n the adjoining chambers. This pre-
'ented very difficult problem.
But through an ingenious arrange
nent. Mr. Frazier and his chief engi-
leer made it possible to carry over
wires. noises emanating from the in
erior of the electrical motors en-
'loyed for making electrical current
or the Bellevue tratford
BY adjusting highly sensitized tele-
hone discs to the baby's crib in such
position that the noises would i'm
nediately be heard by the baby, the
ifficult problem was solved. The
ably rested and slept well. Mr.. and
drs. Gutierrez were too happy to be-
lin to express their thanks to Mr..
'razier, and serenity at the Bellevue

KING CAUCUS RULES IN
UNITED STATES SENATE

No political party ever found itself
in the plight of the democrats at this
time. Facing the effect of an accum-
ulation of administrative and legis-
lative bluders, with an array of brok-
en- pledges and neglected opportun-
tiles, the leaders are now striving
in desperation to produce some show
ing that will enable them to make
claims of having really served the
people. This has forced them to re-
sort to the rigid rule of the caucus
again. Monday the senators who
represent the sovereign" states were
lined up in the democratic caucus
and bound by an iron clad rule to
submit to the decision of the secret
conclave of the party. All pretense
of liberty is done away with under
the pressure of party expediency.
Whatever legislation is to be en-
acted will be determined upon and
shaped behind closed doors, and the
consideration of it in open session
will be farcical, so far as the major
ity party is concerned.
The administration party could
scarcely have given more emphatic
endorsement to the charges of in
capacity against it. The people well
know how to reward such inefficient
service.

THE NEW CROP

A high school lad on his first ex-
tended trip away from his home in
MarShalltown writes a letter home
that illustrates what a dry town does
for the growing youth. Speaking of
the towns along the Mississippi he
had visited he says: After living in
MarshalltOwn one of the things |
notice most in the difference between
Marshalltown and the towns with
saloons. The saloon town stinks. 1t
doesn't look clean. While Lacrosse
and the upper river cities seem to be
pretty good towns they lack the class
of Marshalltown and the dry towns in
Iowa" He doesn't think de'd like
to live in a saloon town.
Now it is doubtless true that the
lowan who insists on his regular
drinks has them. He can have his
own supply in his own cellar If he
knows the ropes and is safe" he can

haps to afford him the stimulant he
Graves; we shall probably have to let
the real soak and the determined
drinker go his own way; but it works
splendidly with the boys. They miss
the saloon influence and the saloon
temptation and the saloon atmosphere
They get so they look on the saloon
as a low place, a defilement. And
they estimate drinking as a liability.
If we can keep the legal and the
illicit saloons out of this state for a
few more years most of the citizens
we are breeding to vote soon will
have the same idea as the boy who
hasn't seen a saloon for five years
and is disguised with it when he does
see it. 1t shows in the new crop

RELIGION is FRIENDSHIP

Religion is friendship-friendship
first with the great Companion OF
whom Jesus told us, who is always
nearer to us than we are to ourselves,
and whose inspiration and help is the
greatest fact of human existence. To
be in harmony with his purpose, to
be open to his suggestions, to be in
conscious fellowship with Him-this
is religion on its Godward side. Then
turn MAYNARD, friendship sums it all
up. To be friends with everybody; ;
to fill every human relation with the
spirit of friendship; is there any
thing more than this that the wisest
and best of men can hope to do? II
the church would accept this truth
Religion is friendship-andb builds its
own life upon it, and make it central
and organic in all it's teachings,
should we not see a great revival of
religion.-Washingt GLADDEN..

WHY PAPER is HIGH

Congressman Mann has come to
the assistance of the newspaper boys
by starting an investigation of the
high cost of print paper. He should
come out along the Rainy and see
the stacks of spruce which have been
on hand at the paper mills for a
year-and-a-half, bought at ridicul-
ously low prices and in sufficient
quantity to preclude any extensive
raise in prices of print paper on &C
count of scarcity or cost of raw ma
terials, when it is considered that a
vast amount of work has also been
dispensed with by doing away with
the dyes and bleaches and labor of
whitening the product, to say moth
ing of the lack of proper calendar
ing of the sheets that are forced up
on the helpless publishers of the
country.

BELL TELEPHONE EMPLOYEES
TO RECEIVE SALARIES WHILE
ON DUTY WITH THE GUARD

Liberal provisions for the coming
twelve months are made by the Bell
Telephone System for its employees,
who have been called out for service
with the National Guard. Full pay

and the fraction of the month in
which the men are called to the col
ors. For the remaining nine months
salaries will continue in full force
less the amount received from the
government.
Upon the return from duty, en-
lployes will be given employment as
far as the needs of the telephone SER
vice will permit. At the end of twelve
months further consideration of these
provisions will be made.
The policy announced is as follows:
| Employees of the Bell System
who, on the 18th Of June, 1916, were
members of the National Guard or
Naval Militia, and who have been
called into service by orders issued
in accordance with the Proclamation
of the President of the United States
of that date, or who may be called
into service by similar order, will be
allowed full pay at the normal rate
in effect on that date in each case,
during absence in such service not to
exceed three full months and the
fraction of the month in which called

POPULAR TOM

There was a little boy-Tom-who
would give his last marble, run er-
rands all day and never grumble,
give the best place to somebody else,
no matter who, and felt so glad in
seeing other folks have a good time
that he forgot himself. Everybody
liked Tom. Grandmother smiled all
over when she saw him coming. Aunt
Luara, who was a busy woman, smil-
edat him, and said, Just in time,
Tom; run and" When mother or
Aunt Luara, the folks at home,
would miss him, one would say:
Where is Tom? / wish he were
only here" Tom was one of the I'M
selfish helpers. Are there any Toms
living at your house? Would you be
missed when away from home, as
Tom was?

REQUEST OF THE GOVERNOR.

Nampa Leader Herald:
Since it turns out that taxes are
higher in most taxing districts in
1915 than they were in 1914, Gov.
ernor Alexander is being called upon
from all sections of the state to ex-
plain Why he has not made good on
his promise to reduce taxes.
He answers by saying that he has
no control over county, city or school
taxes which make up 80 per cent of
all taxes paid, and should not be held
responsible for high taxes where he
has no control. This is obviously true
The governor is in no sense to blame
His fault lies in the fact that he
willfully and knowingly made false
statements about what he could and
would do to reduce taxes all along
the line if elected governor.
In his opening speech of the cam
paign he said at Star:
Now what is the matter with our
taxes? There is nothing else the
matter but the state of Idaho. There
is not dollar paid out by you men
and women but what paid out or
levied by te authority and in the
name OF the state of Idaho. Unless the
state government is good, all others
fail. There is no use to blame the
child, blame the parent.Do not blame
the counties and school districts, but
blame the parent of all, the state of
Idaho.
