REJECTS SCHEME
FOR ADVERTISING
Commercial Club Turns Down
Herald Proposition
MERCHANTS SAY MONEY BETTER
EXPENDED LOCALLY.
Large Crowd Views Motion Picture
Taking at ShOshOne Falls Wednes-
day Afternoon.

The Twin Falls Commercial club
and the Merchants association decided
yesterday morning after long consid-
GRAFTON, that they would not accept the
offer of the Chicago Herald to give
publicity to Twin Falls, for the consid-
GRAFTON of $4,000 TO pay for packing
and shipping only" as the Free Cure"
distributors say, and that a sound and
sensible campaign for advancement to-
ward developing of the Bruneau and
other tracts would do more for the
business interests of the city than the
expenditure of a large sum of money
on the movie crowds in the interest Of
a Chicago newspaper could possibly
DO.
Another argument brought forth
against the advertising proposition
was that this type of publicity would
not reach the class of settlers who
would be of value in advancing the
interests of this locality. AS all the
land at present is taken up there
is no room for the less substantial
farmer of the middle west
The plan as originally described by
Walter B. ROderick, advance man of
the paper, to the newspapers of this
city, involved the taking of pictures by
President NJ s. Beatty of the Amazon
Film company to be used in motion
pictures in 1000 towns and cities
through the middle west, and the des-
cription of the towns, cities and sur
rounding country by a special writer
For this service the newspaper was to
be repaid in subscriptions. The city
was also to have the privilege of plac-
ing an exhibit in a show in Chicago,
fully described in these columns at the
time. Mr.. Roderick added that Ward
ID. Williams representing the paper,
would further describe the matter on
his arrival, Tuesday, June 90 Mr. Will
liams did. He arrived with r. A. Smith
of Omaha, colonization and industrial
agent of the Union Pacific, and Presi-
dent Beatty, Tuesday afternoon and
laid the matter before the club, men
tioning the incidental feature of the
$4,000. The business men were skep-
tical. One man suggested that the
sort of immigrants that would come
were principally those who would add
to competition in business and on the
labor market rather than those who
would develop the agricultural re-
sources of the tract. Others objected
along the same line. 1t was decided
TO take the matter up with the Mer-
chants association, and Wednesday
morning another meeting was held at
which the proposition was definitely
rejected.
The vote taken, however, had to be

settled by the chairman, as those pres
ent were equally for and against the
proposition.
One of the largest stockholders in
the Chicago Herald is said to be Pres
ident Sears of the Sears-Roebuck COM
pany and it has been suggested that
the method is another manifestation of
his ability to get his business enter
prises before the public.
A large number of Twin Falls peo-
pie were present at Shoshone falls
yesterday afternoon to attend the mo-
ton picture taking by the Amazon
Picture Co. Pictures were taken of
the falls with its wonderful scenic
beauty as were also, pictures of the
Blue Lakes region.

big business made a great speech in
which he said that during the past
generation the government Of the great
state of New York had seldom resided
i'll Albany where the governor and leg
islature and higher courts met, but
for years had been at No. 40 Broad
way, the office of Thomas G. Plat.
Judge Wanamaker, however, contend
ed that the boss was not the ultimate
source of hidden government He
told an experience which he had when
prosecuting attorney in Ohio. A DEM
ocratic politician tried to buy fran
elise, without proper safeguard. MT.
Wanamaker discovered the facts and
was about to start prosecution lie
was a Republican. To his surprise
several eminent politicians and bust
nessmen, all Republicans, came and
threatened him with defeat If he in
sisted on prosecuting the offending
Democrat. They said that they own
ed both newspapers, both committees
and controlled the situation and that
y
OF the illegal franchise and he must
rot prosecute the Democratic politl-
clan. He insisted and won his fight,
hut it taught him, and his later expert
eDce confirmed him. in his conviction,
that the great interests were behind
the machine and owned them. Judge
Wanamaker paid high tribute to law
yers as whole for ability and hon
esty, and said that in the main the
men who gave biassed decisions were
not Intentionally dishonest. A man
who makes a practice of criminal law
becomes accustomed to looking at
things infinitely for the purpose of
finding flaws. He may be absolutely
honest and may become wealthy and
famous, but he is developing type of
mind that sees things from a limited
point of view. Elevate this man to the
bench and he is still the same man.
He interprets the law honestly as he
Interpreted it when in criminal prac-
tice. Similarly, man who spends his
life in the service of great predatory
interests, looks at the law only from
their point of view and when on the
bench sees things just as he saw them
ac lawyer. Against all this Judge
Wanamaker protested and insisted
that the people should take care to
discover the point of view of the can
didate for the judiciary no less than
tie candidate for the legislature.
He cited number of apparently alb
surd decisions given on technicalities
and to show that it was a matter of
mental bias and not of corruption
cited the case of the Missouri supreme
court which turned loose a penniless
thief, who was caught stealing two
shoes, because the indictment charged
tl.at he had stolen "a pair of shoes,
whereas, he had inadvertently stolen
two shoes for the same foot and this
did not, in the opinion of the court
constitute "a pair" The laws delay,
also came in for a sound scoring, the
speaker declaring that delayed justice
ceased to be justice. He said that the
Ohio supreme court had so amended
its procedure that it was able to get
to any case within two or three
months and get rid of it, instead OF
waiting for years.
! The address was roundly applauded

around. Woods had tried to sell 1t
to wholesalers in vain: they didn't

Norway.

Mail advices to the Associated Press
disclose the fact that Heliodorus, the
famous Mad Monk of Tsarutsin, Rus
STA, is now refugee in Christiania,
Norway. He was compelled to fee
from his native land because OF his
intimacy with Rasputin, another cele-
brated Russian monk. who Matched a
plot TO assassinate the car. Accord.
ing to the story told by Heliodorus, q
representative OF the Russian minister
of the interior, khvostoff, arrived in
Christiania late In January Of this
year with the proposal that Heliodorus
become party to conspiracy to assas-
sinate the emperor's mystic monk
khvostoff's envoy Is said to have
brought the information that Rasputin
was working for separate peace be-
tween Germany and Russia, and, being
bought by wealthy Jews, and secured
from the Jews great contracts on sup
plies for the army" 1t was also re-
ported that Rasputin had opposed
khvostoff and that the latter as well
as other members Of the cabinet were
like chessmen In the hands Of the
monk. Heliodorus, desiring to learn
the entire plot. posed as willing to en-
ter the conspiracy and signed a con-
tract to engage a band of murderers
for 60, 900 rubles. One Of the ladies-in-
waiting at the court was to be a party
to the conspiracy and give the signal
by telephone for Rasputin to come to
the court. An automobile was to be
in readiness for him to make an es-
cape as soon as he had seen that his
hired murderers had executed the plot,
1t was part Of the bargain. 1t is de-
clared by Heliodorus, that Minister
khvostoff would arrange after the
murder an amnesty so that Heliodorus
could return TO Russia. On February
l2 Heliodorus received telegram
from Petrograd saying that the 60. 600
rubles were deposited in a bank ready
to be paid as soon as the plot was car.

Monsen Mielde a leading Norwegian

Monsen Mjelde, leading Norwegian
journalist, has written a letter from
Sweden In which he declares that the
Swedish government Is determined to
maintain the strictest neutrality in the
great war. He says, In part: Most
people in all countries are strongly
for or against one or the other or the
belligerents. With the exception OF
the pro-German "activists' the mass
of the Swedish people may be said to
have no very pronounced sympathies
or antipathies toward the warning
groups. In fact, the Swedes do not
very much trust any Of the bell1ger'
ents. They have their ancient grudge
against Russia as well as their modern
distrust of Germany. The attitude or
Sweden, therefore, Is one or watcnrul-
ness toward both sides and the main
tenance of a strict neutrality. She
stops, for instance, the parcel post be-
tween England and Russia in retalia-
ton for the British search and partial
stoppage of the parcel post between
the United States and Sweden; and at
the same time she escorts by her war
ships the British mercantile steamers
through her territorial waters to pro-
tect them against German seizure or
torpedoing 1t is to be wondered at
that Sweden Is not more pro-German
than she is There Is to be considered
the fact that Sweden and all Scandi-
navia are geographically much nearer
to Germany than to Great Britain and
there Is the second and not the less
important fact that, while Germany
has done all In her power to develop
intellectual and mercantile intercourse
with Scandinavia, Great Britain has
done little or nothing Of the kind. A
Scandinavian scientific man Of any re-
pute or talent can easily have his es-
tific German journal and his ideas are
discussed in German scientific asso-
Citations as II he were their country
man. The same Is the case with Scan
dinavian novelists and playwrights.
Such authors as the Norwegian Born
son and Ibsen and the Swedish Strind-
berg, not to speak Of minor and mod
ern Scandinavian authors, are appre-
ciated in Germany, but are little known
otherwise than by name in Great Brit
ain, and translations OF their books
| have met with small success. The
British insular spirit has thus kept
away an intellectual influence which
has had q great regenerating effect in
Germany. This state of things has re-
acted upon Scandinavian intellectual
life, which In It's turn has taken too
| little interest in British science-ex-
cept when remade in Germany or
