State University and Politics
Standpoint Review

An effort is being made by certain
destructive political agencies in this
state, finding expression through the
capital News at Boise and echoed by
the subseryient Alexander press, TO
embarrass President Brannon of the
state university because forsooth Sec
rotary of State Barker in an interview
at Lewiston last fall predicted that in
case the state should be so unfortunate
as to reflect Alexander governor,
Brannon would retffe from the head of
the states chief educational institu-
ton. Because President Brannon did
not see fit either to deny nor affirm
the interview at the time the Boise
News, with characteristic unfairness,
attempts to base a claim that now
Alexander is rejected, President Bran
non should at once resign. President
Brannon will very likely sensibly hold
his own counsel at this time as he did
at the time the interview was printed.
Mr.. Barker may have been of the opin-
ion that in case Alexander, who during
all his administration and even before
he was governor two years ago took
and has taken querulous and hostile
latitude against the university, we're
reelected President Brannon, as a man
whose time is worth money and whose
opportunity can not be blasted by
cheap demagogues in politics, would,
out Of sincere respect for himself, find
a state for his services whose public
sentiment would not find expression in
the reelection of a man who has dem
his entire unbalance with educational
matters as Alexander has for the per-
iod he has been governor. On the 9TH
err hand President Brannon may feel
that his real duty in life is to weather
the storm and Idaho's small margined
expression of political idiosyncrasy by
remaining at his post and being one Of
the few men in the state who at the
present time has the opportunity of
being of real and lasting benefit. Let
Mr.. Barker take the odium CD of the
interview and let him do the explain
| ing If there is any to be done. Mr..
Barker has never posed as the mouth
piece of President Brannon. Mr.. Bar
ker certainly has the right of the av-
erage American to express an opinion
! if he so desires. The interview Is not
up to Pres. Brannon except rs busy
body politicians, already showing the
rabies of misdirected and mischievous
energy, put it UP to him.
In this same article from the Boise
News, reprinted in his paper by Edi-
tor and Postmaster Moore of "pernici-
Gus activity" fame. complaint is made
that the university should be "in poll
ties" Who in the name of God, has
done more to place the university in
politics than has the partisan minded
governor? When the state passed from
the old order of things by legislative
enactment and the old boards of the
several state educational institutions
were done away with and the state
board of education succeeded them
Governor Haines appointed to the first
board of education Evan Evans, w. S

There is growing up around the
Guggenheims legend that is about

are, says the Engineering and Mining
Journal Some Ferrero of the future

One G. C. Forbes. writing recently IN
Leslie's Weekly, recorded that mo
mountaineer no prospector knew more
hardships than the Guggenheim broth
ers went through. The Creator, they
soon discovered, had invariably de-
posited mineral wealth far from set
tied centers of civilization and had
surrounded it with obstacles which on
~ the pioneer and brave elected to en-
counter. Daniel Guggenheim, with
the other brothers, slept in tents OF
wagons amid wild surroundings as Of
ten as under roof" And then some
more slush. Daniel Guggenheim was
bold and far seeing financier and ex'
ploiter but he was not a pioneer OF
the type of Mackay and Hearst, anc
any such intimations are probably
quite nauseating to him.
Lace Maker Becomes Miner.
In the early sos, Meyer Guggenheim

at the instigation of fellow Phila

half interest in the A. Y. and Minnie
mine in California gulch at the Lead

says the Engineering and Mining
Journal These are necessary, espe-

we do not recall any 'Consolidateds'
that have been successful except some

The geography of some of these

real mine of that name, A recent flo

ELECTRIC LANTERNS.

The trainmen on the Northern ia

in use on some of the other roads 1of
some time, but it is only recently tha'

the same as the old oil lamps. The
dry battery is in the top of the lantern
and Is turned on and off by means o.

guaranteed to burn continuously ro'
70 hours and the majority have ooht

Dreadnaughts have won the greatest

Roosevelt, of the navy, Wednesday
told the House naval committee.
With enough dreadnaughts, he said,
the United States would win blood

Mr.. Roosevelt said, explaining that
the nation has great potential re-

BY keeping the foes fleet of the

AN INVITATION IS EXTENDED
TO LOCAL BOARD OF. TRADE
To Send Three Delegates to the
Immediate Action" conven-
ton of the Navy League.

WASHINGTON, March 29-The
immediate action" convention OF
the Navy League which Is to be held
April 1913, at the New Willard ho-
tel in Washington, today extended to
the board Of trade of Clarksburg, w.
Va, an invitation to participate in
Its deliberations and to send IN of
fetal representation OF three dele
gates. Credentials were enclosed for
that purpose.
In outlining its plan for the COM
ing convention, the Navy League in
sists that there are three matters
which require immediate attention IL
the fleet Is to be placed in a position
to meet an emergency at the earliest
possible moment. The first OF these
needs Is a national defense commits
sion that will coordinate all the
branches Of the government that
have to do with preparedness that
the whole nation may act upon the
basis Of a logical understanding OF
every element that enters into the
situation.
The second immediate need, the
Navy League holds, is q navy general
staff, which in the light of full
comprehension Of any emergency sit
uation, would have power to direct
the fleets activities.
The third point made by the Navy
League has as It's object overcoming
that state OF inaction which has ex-
listed for two years In the face of
world chaos and made no advance
whatever toward reaching a state OF
military readiness. 1t calls for inl-
mediate action, independent of cost
Limitations, upon the plan of the
general board. holding that this is a
logical step in advance Of a scientific
determination Of the needs of pre-
paredness.
The convention is to last four
days. eliminating in a banquet and
la trip to Annapolis. that the Naval
Academy may be viewed while at its
tasks. The invitation to be repre-
sented at this convention Is extend
ed to commercial bodies because tho
Navy League believes that the sound
judgment and wisdom Of the business
men of the nation should be heard In
all deliberations Of this sort. The
speaking program has been arranged
upon the basis of procuring for
speakers these solid men Of the
country whose views should be given
weight at this time of great emer-
gepcy. 1t is expected that this con-
vention will say the last word on
the subject on the very eve of nation
al defense legislation. and that les
deliberations are therefore of great
importance.

Nurse and Patient Marry.

A few short weeks ago, Guy JEFF
freys. a young man from Grafton.
went to the Cook hospital at Fair
mont, for treatment, and yesterday,
without awaiting for his dismissal or
ders he slyly slipped away with Q.
pretty nurse. Miss Mary Berry, who
had cared for him during his illness.
The couple came to Clarksburg.
where their marriage took place late
Wednesday.
The marriage of Miss Berry and
Mr.. Jeffreys Is the elimination OF a
pretty romance. They had never
seen one another until Mr.. Jetfreys
entered the hospital and the little
god OF love became quite busy, as
the gentle little nurse lowered over
her patient from day to day, admin
istering to his comforts.
Wednesday morning Miss Berry
left the hospital, saying that she did
not expect to return, and earlier in
the day Mr.. Jetfreys quietly took his
departure. The bride is a senior
nurse and would have been graduated
this coming summer. She is from
Heaters.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jeffreys left Clarks-
burg last night on a honeymoon TO
