Surely the great middle West which Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses Grant typified in the civil war, will now take the lead in the movement for genuine Americanism and for national preparedness, with out which Americanism would be an empty boast.''
 MT. Emerson announced that Tho mas A. Edison, who made the first political declaration of his career last week when he came out for Col. Roosevelt had accepted a posi- tion on the advisory committee Of the league, as has also A. R. Erskine, president of the Studebaker company of South Bend, Ind.

BLUE LAWS STAND
 FOR M. E. CHURCH
Cards, Dancing and Theaters Are
 Still FroWned Upon

Saratoga, May 16.-An attempt by l Chancellor James R. Day of syracuse University and other members of the
 Methodist General Conference to ellm- mate from the Church discipline the clause which prohibits church mem bers from playing cards, dancing and attending theater failed late yester- dav afternoon when the committee on the state of the church decided by 9, vote of 113 to 43 to recommend the retention of the rule.
 Notice was immediately given that the leaders for a freer 1nterpretatlon of the rule would shift their night to tba conference and submit minority report. It is probable that the dele gates will be requested to decide the question before the end of the week. Last week a subcommittee voted in favor of removing the paragraph.
 The conference debated all day over the question of the high cost of the episcopacy. When the committee on episcopacy reported yesterday it asked that seven new Bishops bo cho- sen, six of whom to work in this country and one at Seoul, Corea. An effort was immediately made to re- duce the number to five on the ground that the present occupants of the epis- copacy are not overburdener with work and that the members 0f the churches throughout Method!sm are protesting against the expense of maintaining the episcopal offices.
 Opponents of addition bishops were successful in getting the report recon1- mited, but failed to secure with it an order for reduction of the number of Bishops.

 from 10 a. m. until $50 last evening between the conference board of the trolleymen's unions of the state and Vice President John K. Punderford ot the Connecticut company, a draft of an agreement was framed which will be submitted to the various unions of the state for their approval CT disapprOval. The agreement, it is said, refers not only to wages and hours, but to all working conditions. It was rumored last night the com- pany has offered the men a com pro- mise of 30 cents an hour which would be in increase of two and a half cents over what they have now. The men have asked 35 cents as a flat rate
 At the conclusion of the meeting last night Alderman Hugh J. Cart land, who is chairman of the local trolleymens union, as we'll as vice president of the conference board, ,J said that he was not at liberty to say what the offer was that was made by the company or even state any of the other terms in the draft agreement until it had been submitted to the men. He said however, that the draft would be submitted to the local union here at meetings tomorrow evening at o'clock and on Thurs day morning at o'clock It is SUD- posed that the other members of the conference board will also place the matter before their locals with the same exnadifipn
 The session was attended by f"oen mem bers of the conference board hailing from all parts of the state where the company's lines run. Vice President Punderford, alone, repre- sented the company. On the part of the board, the principal spokesman was President R. J. Leahy of Derby All of the members of the board took part in the discussion at one time or another, and the talk was at times quite animated. It is impossible to say at this time in what manner the proposals will be received by the men.

called for next Monday evening.
Those present at the meeting were
enthusiastically for the bridge and

accompany the candidates of both par
ties to interest them in the PROPOSE

theaters of the city at once urging all
to vote for the bonds and a house to
house canvass of the city will be made.
All citizens are entitled to vote on
the proposition. Although women
have been voting on all other things
for many years, it was not until 1909
that they were declared by statute en-
titled to vote on bonds. This inhibi-
ton has now been removed and women
vote with the rest on this as on all
other matters.
In voting for the bonds, instead Of
making a cross opposite to the wort
"Yes," on the ballot, the voter mus

will endeavor to offset this by card:

The members of the association say
that they believe that when the people
understand the issue they will vot,

AMERICAN MAIL PROTEST
GETS RESULTS FROM ALLIES
Methods Used In Treatment Of Mails
On Neutral Ships Is Changed When
L. $. Protests.

WASHINGTON-Radical changes in
the treatment of mails on neutral
ships are promised in the reply of the
British and French governments to
the American protests against inter-
ference with mails. The changes,
while short of an abandonment of the
contention of the right to search for
information of value to an enemy, are
regarded by the allies as sufficient to
meet the wishes of the United States.
Otherwise the two notes which are
now under consideration at the state
department are devoted to an exten-
sive academic discussion of the whole
subject of the treatment Of mails in
time of war with voluminous quota
tions from the history of the American
civil war and of other wars up to date.

"SCRATCH NIHART"
SAYS ]. A. WATERS
''tvery Republican Loyal to
Country Must He Declares
REPTBLICAN REPRESENTATIVE
DETINES HIS POSITION.
Says Some Republican Lenders For
Selfish Purposes Are Supporting
Divisi0nist.

Declaring that certain Republican
| leaders for purely selfish purposes are
Nsupporting Fred Nihart, the Bull divi-
sionist, for the state legislature, ]. A.
Waters, who served in the last legis-
lature as a Republican and still be-
longs to that party, in an open letter
calls on all members of the Republican
party who are loyal to the county to
repudiate Mr. Nihart
The letter follows:
To the People of Twin Falls County:
l have been asked for my opinion
concerning the candidacy upon the Re-
publican ticket of a man who asks to
go to the legislature upon personal
platform declaring for the division of
the county.
Two years ago / was a member Of
the legislature and one of my associ-
ates was j. w. Faris, who also had
personal platform declaring for the di-
vision of the county. He made it plain
early in the days of the session that
this platform was his principal and
practically only one. This put him in
position to exchange support upon al
most any measure where his pet meas
ure, Buhl county division bill, could
be benefited, and gave him an advant-
age over the rest of us who felt that
we were representing the entire dis
txct, and were interested in other
Klings than county division. We soon
&realized, however, that, owing to the
Jealousy of the representatives of 9TH
\ er counties toward the growing power
of Twin Falls county, and the disposi-
ton to injury by dividing her, we had
a serious fight on our hands. Our en-
tire attention was soon taken up with
the county division fight, when we
should have been free to attend to
other matters of interest to our peo-
pie In spite of our efforts, however,
the bill providing for the division OF
the county was passed by the house.
and, notwithstanding the opposition
of our senator, was dangerously near
passage in the senate.
The Democrats, when Mr.. Faris was
\. running two years ago, advised anti
Xlivisionists to vote for him, upon the
Nea that no matter if a divisionist was
elected to the legislature, he would be
but one of three and could do no harm
The anti-divisionist Democrats took
the advice of the politicians and elect
ed Mr.. Faris. How nearly disastrous
20 the county was tnat actlon nave
attempted to point out.
l regret to note that now, when the
Republicans find themselves saddled
with a divisionist on the ticket, in the
person of Fred Nihart, some Republi-
can leaders, for purely selfish reasons
are advocating the same thing Let us
not make that mistake. We can sure
ly, from among the other five estim-
able gentlemen running for the legis-
lature, pick out three who will repre-
sent the entire county, instead Of the
city of Buhl, as Fred Nihart did when
he was in the legislature before ano
will do if elected again.
There is no better Republican II
Twin Falls county than 1, but this
year / must scratch my ticket" as
every Republican should do who is
layal to his county.
