fency adjusts him there so that he will
not rattle around. Although this kills
the best that is man. and reduces
life to a monotonous machine process,
it increases cumulative production,
which is the end Enthusiastically
sought by American big business.
1t is as absurd to ask the American
working man to indorse military
plan which is expected to have such
results as it would be to ask the
American Federation of Labor to
draw in all its charters, disband, and
throw itself unreseredly on the mer-
cy of the employing classes. Ii uni
versal training is, besides being pre-
paration for national defense, a means
of discipline it will actually be weap-
on for weakening labor's bargaining
power, and destroying the labor or
CARNATIONS, and this will throw des-
potic power, not into the hands Of
small employers, but into those OF the
great interlocked employing corpora
tons. The United States Steel cor
poration has been a model for disci-
pine in industry. In the steel towns
people know what that means-the
spying, the censorship of opinion, the
men, the nauseating patronage.
The multitude of small and medium
sized business men who form the ma
jorities in the United States Chamber
of Commerce cannot be so far remov-
ed from popular ideals of democracy
as to desire national discipline on that
model.-San Francisc Bulletin.

BOISE is CALLING

There should be an end to the
pickering and petty quarrcling in
Boise. We believe every citizen real
ICES this-and all are ready to meet
upon common ground. In fact, there
must be unison of action. Boise must
now go forward through the push
and energy of her own people. There
is money enough, progressive spirit
enough and loyalty enough to place
Boise upon the map as one Of thA
very best towns in the United States.
Leadership is all that is necessary. A
single man of affairs could organize
a company to erect a wooden mill in
this city and the time is ripe for the
man to come to the front. With
sheepmen making money by the
thousands they should all back the
enterprise and aid in the upbuilding
of the city. There may be no more
room in Boise for men to engage in
any business of mere barter and
trade; there are doubtless enough of
these houses in all lines of business,
and it is necessary for the growth
and development of the city to Gre
ate industries that will give employ
ment to labor Every condition points
TO wooden mill as the most suitable
enterprise that could be undertaken
at the present time
Let some one with the confidence
of the community and with some fl
nancial resources him self step to the
front Boise is calling.

A PEOPLES JUDGE

The confirmation of the appoint
ment of Louis d. Brandies as mem
Der of the Supreme Court of the
United States marks a distinct ad-
vance in the progress of the judiciary
Of this country. 1t is a we'll known
truism that the courts are the last
bulwark of the old order; that is they
are slower to change than any other
human institution. The reason for
this is that they are necessarily guild
ed largely by precedents. When a
judge hears a case, if it can be shown
that earlier judges decided similar
cases in a certain way, the later Judge
will follow suit. For this reason, ju-
dicial interpretations OF the law fol-
low along given lines even after
changed conditions make the decis-
ions absolutely contrary to justice
The fellow servant law by which one
employe could not secure compensa-
ton for an injury received through the
carelessness of another presents a
case in point. This law might have
had some justification in aprimitive
society, but its injustice became APP
parent under the complex conditions
of present day society. 1t rested
scolely upon judicial Interpretation,
but it could not be changed through
such Interpretation. 1t required leg
islative action to make this judge
made law conform to the new indus
trial era.
Brandies is great lawyer-among
the greatest in the world-for the
reason that the endeavors at all times
to make the law conform to present
day conditions. 1t is pointed out that
in his 10000 word brief upon the
Oregon law limiting the hours which
women can work in given industries,
less than 300 words were devoted to
the law itself The whole OF the re-
mainder of this remarkable discussion
was devoted to existing conditions
the welfare of the race and the rights
of humanity. His view was sustained
by the Supreme Court, and it is doubt
full if any other argument would have
prevailed 1t is these views that make
Brandies a radical, but the radical of
today is the conservative of tomor-
row-he lives in the present but works
for posterity.
President Wilson deserves unstint-
ed praise for the elevation to the
bench Of this lawyer of the people.

A LIVE TOWN

An Eastern man meeting a West
ern man on the train was inquiring
of the Westerner what the principal
business of his town was.

ing is going on to keep up the town."
Manufacturing, why yes, we have

his whip is raised to strike. Coudal
interferes and buys the girl-Gubbins
following, as if half regretting, in
drunken prostation.
The men carry the girl to the studio
of Coudal and there draw lots for her
possession. She falls to Coudal.
Morning comes and finds Laura a
woman, hating Coudal and his kind.
She becomes his model, and from her
he models his greatest work, "Sapho."
Through this his fame spreads far
and wide-and fame brings him
friends.
One night, when the friends of Cou-
dal are toasting his success, Laura re-
turns to the tenement, her home. Her
father comes in and finds her looking
at the foulsome misery-laden room,
where the rats are creeping around
Turning upon him she flicks his whip
from him and, in a wild spirit of mad
ss,beats him from the room as in
the old days he had beaten her, she
going down into the saloon and there
being attacked by gunner, from
whom she is saved by Mccullough
George Macquarrie), a young gun
man. She is turning on her way back
to the studio of Coudal when McCul-
Tough, following her out, tells her that
man like he needs just such a wo-
man as she. Forcing her into taxi
he takes her with him to an old house
on Fifth Ave, where Laura innocently
brings harm to a family which later
in the story brings her unhappiness
and love. So the story continues, new
er permitting interest to wane and at
last bringing home forceful moral.

MAJESTIC, MONDAY AND TUESDAY

The new film drama "The Eternal
Sapho" in which William Fox again
presents Theda Bara as star. opens
with unusual dash and go. And it
holds the interest from the first reel
to the last in thrilling story which
begins in the underworld and ends in
what is called high society. The very
first scene has some action in it which
Immediately attracts and holds the au-
dience's attention.
The dawn was breaking over New
York as Coudal (Warner Oland), a
sculptor and some of his brother ar
lists were finishing their rounds of
New York cafes.
Laura Gubbins (Theda Bara), lit
tie product of the underworld, was
teasing hungry dog, taunting him,
when the lash of her half-drunken
father Crank Norcross) came full
upon her shoulders. He passes on to
the garnet where his wife lay dying.
Laura, in spirit of retaliation, beats
UP his horse with a stick and sends
him and cab galloping away.
Coudal and his friends come upon
the driverless cab and in drunken
good humor mount the cab and come
tearing down the streets. Gubbins,
from his window, threatens Laura
with his whip and comes tearing down
the stairs to her. She is terrified, and
hides in an old ash barrel as Coudal
and his friends come dashing through
the scene.
The father protests with Coudal,
who apologies, and turning, he sees
his daughter Laura creeping from the
lid of the ash barrel. One second and

just recently the local Commercial
Club, which is member of the United
States Chamber of Commerce, voted
in favor of universal military training,
although the Subcommittee to which
the question was referred, stood divid-
ed, labor's representative voting mega
tive. The vote was taken too late to
be counted and is not therefore includ-
ed in the totals named. In this. as in
many other things, the voice of labor
is submerged by the lusty cry of those
who would exploit labor at will.

not know that America stands higher

CANNING CLUB
STIRS INTEREST
ENTHUSIASM MARKS WORK Be.
ING DONE THIS YEAR-GooD RE
SUITS IN PROSPECT.

There are this year enrolled in the
boys corn club work in Crisp county
cooperating with nature on better
scale than is commonly practiced in
order to get better results.
These boys are mixing the labor
of their hands with the labor of their
heads. They are learning that farm
ing is q great, complicated, complex
business, requiring for the greatest
success the keenest thought and the
most diligent study.
In order to increase the efficiency
of this work County Agricultural
Agent Johnson has thought it wise and
has succeeded in measuring every
boys club acre. This gives the boy
a greater appreciation of his work
and gives him the required amount
of land, no more and no less. Many
OF these boys are growing high type
of prolific corn and will do field Sc
lection of their seed corn in order to
improve and keep the strain pure. 81
There will be given several nice ma
terial prizes for the completion Of their
club work. There are at present for
those who use pluck an "stickability
two or three scholarships TO the boys
short course at the state College Of
Agriculture, two nice pure-bred pigs
to be used in Pig Club next year
three or four farm implements and sey
eral dollars in money TO be divided ac
eording to merit.
But after all the mission of the boys
club work is not merely the making
of a hundred or more bushels OF corn
to the acre, but rather the instilla
ton of knowledge, ideas, and habits
of thought that will produce a better
farmer and a better citizen.
