is settled in advance that the plea of the
Toledo organization leaders against dis
cussion of this question will be ignored
while the nominee is in Ohio. After he
leaves the State on Wednesday it will be
the problem of the State Committee to
decide how much emphasis to place
upon the question during the remainder
of the canvass and how to meet the on
slaught of the Democrats. Whether they
like it or not, they must follow their
Presidential nominee. Funny, isn't it,
how the lust for jobs makes immense
political organizations jump through
hoops at the behest of the head of the
ticket. 1t was pointed out a week ago
that Hughes action has embarrassed
the head of the State ticket-Governo
Frank B. Willis-who, in March, in an
address to the members of the four
brotherhoods at Gallon, declared in fa-
vor of the eight-hour law, thus reaffirm-
ing sentiments expressed in letter
written in 1914. In addition there are
seven Republican Congressman, all can

ADJUSTMENTS
LYRIC THEATER.

The patrons of the Lyric Theatre will
again be waited on the wings of super
melodrama, when Oliver Morosco will
present Richard Walton Tully's delight
full story of the South Sea Islands, "The
Bird of Paradise" week of October 1.
This will be the fifth time in this city
and each year it seems to gain new
friends beside retaining its old admirers.
The story is familiar telling the tragic
love of Luana, for the young American
doctor whom she meets and marries and
then he falls under the spell of the trop-
les. He finally throws her aside, however,
and she gives him his freedom and saves
her people by offering herself as a hui
man sacrifice to the Goddess Pelee. The
other side of the story deals with the
reformation of drunken beach comber,
who is brought back to his proper sphere
in life, through the efforts of an Amer
ican girl and they find true happiness in
each others love. Other types, both
American and native, are also shown.
The part of Luana, has been played
by five young women, during the five
years the play has been on the road and
this season, Manager Morosco will in
troduce again a newcomer, Miss May
Buckley, whom he thinks will become as
famous as any of the other FIVE She
will be assisted by David Landau, in his
original character of the beach comber
Ethel Remey, as the American girl; For
rest Stanley, the weak-minded husband
of Luana; Wilson Taylor, the original
Inspector Burke of within the Law" "
as the gruff Yankee trader; Laura Ad-
ans, as the foster mother James Nell
son as the high priest; Mabel Emerson,
as an Hawaiian girl; James Applebee,
as the missionary; Fanny Yantis, as his
wife; John Gribner, as the Hawaiian
lover and the native Hawaiian singers
and players, whose weird music is one
of the features of the piece. There are
three acts and each is truthful setting
of the Islands, especially the last, show
ing the wonderful volcanic eruption of
Mount Kilauea. A popular-priced matt
nee will be given on Wednesday.

A. F. OF L. POWER DEFINED

Chicago.-The Journeymen Tailors'
Union is conducting referendum cleo
ton for officers, and the Tailor, its Of
fcial paper, says
"From reading the communications
published in the Tailor touching the
election of delegates to the convention
of the American Federation of Labor,
we are led to the conclusion that mis-
understanding exists in the minds of
the writers as to the scope and power
of the convention of the A. F. of l..
"ln the first place the writers over
look the fact that the American Fedora
ton is a voluntary organization, drawn
together by the realization of the ne
cessity of closer unity of the working
class, which would enable them to be
of mutual assistance to each other.
"This coming together of the different
groups composing the American Fedora
ton does not cause any one group to
lose it autonomy or its identification.
To do so would be at variance with the
original intentions of the people who of
their own free will come together with
others to secure their friendship and as
sistance in the hour of need.
"No organization would think of 60
ing into the A. +. of l.. knowing that
by so doing they would>be giving up the
right to manage their own business as
they saw fit. 1t is safe to predict nc
union will ever do so.
"There is quite an analogy between
the plan of organization of the United
States and the American Federation OF
Labor
"The national unions hold the rela-
tionship to the A. +. of L. that the
states hold to the national government
The locals composing the national hold
the same relationship to it that the diff
ferent counties hold to the state. The
United States can not make a law con-
trary to the agreement made at the time
the states formed federation. Neither
can the American Federation make a
law that would abridge the rights OF
any national"

EMPRESS.

Next weeks show at the Empress
Theater really speaks for itself as an
illustration of the p-to-the-minute,
healthy, high-class standard that has
made this theater so popular. 1t is a
remarkable comingling of newness, fun
genuine laugh storms, harmony and all
the elements of great" vaudeville. Six
headline acts will comprise this superb
entertainment.
First among them is the Paris Fash
ion Shop, which combines elegance, new
ness and melody. In it are graceful girls
gorgeously gowned, who demonstrate
the various modes of feminine attire in
various periods, and in addition they
are musical marvels and add interest to
this act with fun of delightful char
acter.
Another splendid number is Famous
Charley Sweet, who has been headlined
in nearly all the highest class theaters
in the land. This is his first appear
ance at the Empress and he will pre-
sent brand-new edition of his con-
vulsng and artistic comic harmonics.
Then there will be Fregol, marvel in
makeup and quick change, who gives
play with many characters, assuming
them all himself, and changing his cos
tunes so rapidly that audiences are
amazed at the extreme speed of the as
sumption of the various roles. Fregol
is genuinely wonderful and his act is a
series of pleasant surprises.
The Penn City Trio, three gingery
young fellows who mix humor with
their delightful singing, is still another
act that will be we'll received; and the
Gregorys, whose thoroughly enjoyable
Arkansas "rubes' is a revelation in rich
fun. will aid to make the show for next
week one of splendid proportions. The
Apollo Trio, whose studies in classic
bronzes are one of the standard acts in
vaudevilledom, will be the sixth act in
the series. And. of course, there will be
the comedy photo films.

EMPLOYERS PROMOTE THRIFT.

Chicago.-There is an effort going on
among employers in this city to encour-
aoe thrift among their employes-to get
them to save some of their money for
future investment and rainy days. One
way pursued to encourage thrift is to
take an employees bank book on pay day
and return it with such part of his pay
as he desires credited in it. This makes
a sure thing of his saving, and relieves
him of all trouble. 1t begets and con-
firms the habit of economy, and before
the employe knows it he has comfort
able sum in the bank.
Another way is for the company to
use the employees savings, through a
definite agreement, and pay him or 6
per cent, and thus use his savings in the
conduct of its business. Still another
way is for the company to add / or 2
per cent to the 3 per cent allowed at the
bank. This is an expense, of course.
upon the business, but it has been found
to pay. Other methods are adopted, and
they all benefit both employer and en-
ploye.
Most workers prefer to handle their
own savings.

Will Fight the 8-Hour Day
Republicans In Ohio to Follo Hughes Says the Enquirer

Quite large detachment of members
of Mr.. Hughes wellknown political
party, after reading in these omni-parti-
san columns of the forecast control of
the coming election by the labor vote
the man with $5 luncheon kit-arose,
gnashed their teeth, tore their boards
and rended their garments, saying ::
Behold, this unregenerate galoot is
preaching Democratic doctrine and
charging us nickel for it. Tell with
him !" But since then it has come to
pass that the Chairmen of the four large
railway brotherhoods, containing 10000
voters, have sent out bulletins advising
the members to vote for their friends"
The headquarters of one, the engineers,
is in Cleveland. There the Hughes or
gan is emitting terrifying yawps, de-
claring that the Democrats are now
getting their pay for passing the bill"
and making awful mean remarks about
the brotherhoods This is passing
strange, as it seems to limit political
gratitude only to those who are favored
by amendments to the tariff schedules or
to the banking statutes. If bunch of
smooth labor leaders pry off chunk of
paternal legislation they are batted
politicians who regard it as eminently
correct to permit a squad of polished
manufacturers to get away with few
millions by changing the figures in a
tariff bill. This aegis of liberty thinks
the whole dingbusted system is entirely
wrong, but if the corncrib door is open
and everybody wanting meal is robbing
it, why kick on the fellow in patches get
ting away with small sackful? But
what this friend of capital and labor
started out to say was that the statement
that labor would decide this election has
been justified by the weeks happenings.
From now until election day it will be
the task of the Republican leaders to
prevent, as far as possible, the desertion
of their cause by the workingmen, who
have hitherto been steadfast, and to gain
as manv votes as possible from members
of all the other parties who are alarmed
because of labor's great legislative coup.
At Dayton last Monday the plunge
was taken by them, following Hughes
address at the State opening meeting. 1t

NEW OFFICERS CHOSEN.

Springfield, Mass.-George H. Wrenn,
president of the Springfield Central La
Dor Union, and Martin T. Joyce, of the
Electrical Workers Union, Local 1Oa
of Boston, were unanimously elected
president and secretary-treasurer, re-
spectively, of the State branch of the
American Federation of Labor, which
held its annual convention in Spring
field.
The legislative committee was in
structed to present bill to the next
general court asking for the popular
election of judges as a means of pro-
tecting the health and happiness of work
ers, as it is claimed that judges have
practically nullihed laws passed for the
protection of laboring people.

Washington.-Hon. w. B. Wilson,

the mass meeting called by the local
Central Labor Union and at which Pres
ident Gompers was invited to reply to
Senator Sherman.
The cabinet official again proved he is
still "Bill' Wilson, and the same trade
unionist of old. He recounted his 30
years acquaintance with President Com
pers, and said his position in the pres
ent circumstances was like the old lady

fight She grabbed a broom, saying: Il
can't do much, but | can at least show

BY
BOARD MEMBERS
Minutes Of the Proceedings
When Coffin Claim Mat
ter Was Considered.

The minutes of the state land board
relating to the recent heated session of
that body with reference to the $3.50
fee claim of T. c. Coffin for legal SER
vices rendered in the foreclosure of
state loans, were transcribed late yes
terday and issued to the press for pub
lication. The minutes, taking up the
calm at the time Miss Berince Nc
Coy introduced resolution showing
that the claim of Coffin for this work
Is separate fro mhis $4,000 claim for
fees in the Allen bond foreclosure case,
follow:
Miss Mccoy offered the following
resolution:
Resolved, that 1t Is the sense OF
this board that the compensation al
lowed Mr.. T. c. Coffin in the fore
closure cases. and the votes recorded
by the state land board at that time,
are In no way connected with tine Allen
embezzlement case, and is not to be
considered In any such way. Vote
upon the resolution stood as follows:
Governor Alexander, no; Secretary Of
State Barker, yes; State Auditor Hus-
ton, yes; superintendent of Public In
StruCtlOn MISS Mccoy, yes.
Mr.. Barker then made the following
explanation in reference to the allow
ance of $3.50 by the state land board
from the 1 per cent funds to T. c.
Coffin for services rendered in fore
closure proceedings authorized by the
state land board, through the attorney
generals office: Il voted in favor Of
this motion not as q fee, but as COM
pensation in full for services in connec-
ton Herewith at the rate of $3.50 per
month for three months time"
1t was voted unanimously to allow
! this explanation to be spread upon the
minutes.
Mr.. Huston made the following
| statement: "In voting in favor of the
payment of the claim of T. c. Coffin
for services N institutlng foreclosure
proceedings on delinquent state loans,
did so with the understanding that
Mr.. Coffin was not employed as a reg
ular assistant in the attorney generals
office during that time"
| Miss Mccoy also desired that her
reasons for voting In favor of the pay
ment to T. c. Coffin become a part of
the minutes, stating: From the very
beginning of the foreclosure cases, I
had understood that the fee in such
cases was fixed by law and that 1t was
not the duty Of the state land board
or any other board to fix the compen-
sation for any such case. In voting for
the $3.50 allowed Mr.. Coffin. voted for
1t believing that it was the compen-
sation fixed by law for such cases. and
had understood from the beginning
that as the attorney general had ex-
planned to this board, his office had
neither the time nor sufficient funds
left in his appropriation to handle these
cases, that he was authorized, as the
agent of the board, to call in any out
side attorney to handle such cases,
such attorney to be paid from the 1
per cent fund of the state land board"

William w. Wallace, who for AZ years
has been connected with the auditing
office of the war department. Mr.. Wal
laces father, who died in 1879, was

EXHIBIT
At GEM STATE FAIR

Photography has grown to be of
such value as a conservator of summer
memories as to be an almost indis
pensable adjunct of the campers equip
ment. The days of travel are lived
over again in kodak pictures At the
fair the art department held several
fine collections of views taken here
and there from the ever beautiful
Payette lakes to the arid sagebrush
plains of the desert, each replete with
suggestions of interest or beauty. A
word more must be said of the work of
the younger artists. Some of the eff
forts of these beginners show an ar
tistic conception of the subjects in
hand which will grow into something
worth while as the years advance.
The work of the pupils of Mrs. Fl. p
Ashby, of the "Ashby School of Fine
Arts" has attracted much attention,
and the early work of Mrs. Ashby
which is hung below her salon work,
shows what this artist accomplished
at the age of 10 or IL. One of these
last mentioned pictures is a copy, Mrs
Ashby states, and the other two origi-
nal studies.

was at first to take. The other de-
velopment is that ex-senator Bever-
edge of Indiana will deliver one adj
dress in Idaho at Twin Falls, a strong
demand having come from the elect
ors in that section of the state to hear
him.
The work of placing speakers on the
stump in all parts of the state is
somewhat of a task. Plans are being
carefully worked out, however, so that
there will be no conflicting dates and
at the same time the entire state can
be covered. Congressman Robert NJ.
McCracken will begin speaking on
behalf of the national and state ticket
on Oct. 10 in his home county, Bing-
ham, and win spend five days there
making a speaking tour Later he will
spend two weeks In Nez Perez, Lewis
and Clearwater counties. Burton l..
French finds it impossible to make de-
finite arrangements to speak at any
place in the state owing to the serious
illness of his family. He will probably
not be able to speak in his home
county. Latah.
HAMER IN DEMAND.
The state committee is in receipt Of

parts of the state and is putting forth
every effort to meet the demand. Spe-
ciai requests have been made In Bear
