Good Committee Work,

In response to telegram sent by the
recruiting committee of the Commercial
club for the Fort Douglass training
camp. in which the local committee
said it stood ready to assist in any way
in recruiting from this city to the Ida
no national guard, Herman H. Taylor,
acting governor of Idaho; p. H. Grow.
adiutant general, Idaho national guard,
and Captain w. b. Wallace, of Fort
Douglass, have wired the local commit
tee. commencing it upon its patriotic
and willing offer to aid the United
States in time of eventualities. The
two wires above Immediately affect the
Idaho situation.
BY vote of the last Congress pro.
vision was made whereby the regular
United States army would be increased
as the line of defense. Having been
federalzed, the nationrr guard of all
States becomes the second line of de-
Tense, and the citizen soldiers who ben
eft by the training, will constitute the
third line Of defense. At present the
first line of defense is in Mexico, the
second line is preparing to move to the
border, and the third line has not been
trained.
The local committee, consisting of d.
w. Church, f. 0. Elliott, T. j. Magin-
mis- and r. H. Paine, wishes to make it
clear that those who registered for the
training camp service at Fort Douglass
are no more likely to be called upon for
service after the training camp enlist
ment than at any other time, but if
called they will be trained men.-Po.

OF MOHAMMED
INCREASING IN NUMBERS

The course of the great European war
was supposed to have struck final
blow at Mohammedism. SO far as the
Turk or Mohammedism in Europe is
concerned, it is still believed that the
end Of the war will show it's removal
or at least it's extreme weakness. But
Mohammedism in the rest of the world
gives no sign of cessation. It is
the prevailing religion in Africa and
Asia. The determination of its people
causes it to advance. Every external
victory it has seems to lend new zeal
to its adherents and to send it forth
with new impulse. Without doubt
the successes Of the Turks in the cap.

THE TWO CHARLES.

Since Hughes and Fairbanks are the
men the &. 0. p. have chosen, all other
chaps might just as well not try to put
their nose in.
There's something magic in the
name. This fact is well admitted:
that 8 why the men with Charlie names
were peacefully submitted. They both
have ,beards, and that will help to get
them both elected. They won't depend
by just close shave to reach the goal
erected. They both are men of digni'
ty; their whiskers prove my writing;
they'd rule with firm and steady hand
by pathways ever lighting.
Now, Fairbanks has a marble top. g
place for flies to poster; but just the
same he knows the game and he is not
Jester. Now, Charlie Boys, hold uI
your heads and wait until November
and YOU may win; but running's S fun
