Declares Prof. Giddings of CO.
Iumbia as Shown by the
War in Europe.

WASHINGTON, May 27.--Professor
fl. Giddings. of Columbia University,
at the banquet of the League 10 En-
force Peace, first annual national
assemblage) last night said that the
European war has been and Is the
most tremendous stlmulous to self
examination, to resolution, and to de-
termined effort that has ever provoked
the moral energies and the intelll-
gence of man to fresh exertion.'
Prof Giddings' address entitled
How Social Progress Depends on the
Success OF the Platform OF the League
to Enforce Peace" in part follows:
"The civilized world has not lost It's
faith that moral progress is possible
but 1t will not again base It's hopes
upon the INFESTED belief that mankind
necessarily becomes better IL II be-
comes richer and more comfortable.
II will not again so appalling under
estimate the forces of evil that have
yet to be encountered and overcome.
Like the strong and forward-lookinE
Individual who has suffered defeat but
not destruction, II will now re-snrvey
Its task, take more careful stock OF
Its energies and its resources, and 20
forward in the full realization OF tho
magnitude OF the work in hand.
Lesson for Examination.
This prediction we are able 10
make because the evidence abounds
that our now disillusioned world Is
not discouraged world. He is a poor
observer who sees in the European
war only the most appalling waste OF
life and treasure that history records.
He Is not less poor observer who
sees in 1t only waste made worse by
dislllusion. 1t has been, and is, tho
most tremendous stimulous to SELF
examination, to resolution, and to de-
'ermlned effort that has ever provoked
the moral energies and the intellI-
gence OF man to fresh exertion.
1.-THE self examination will be thor
ough. 1t was the remorseless Nietsche
who proposed the revaluation of all
values. The reappralsement has be-
gun, and already we know that the
resulting scale OF values will not be
what Nietsche anticipated, and what
his disciples, the philosophers of
frlghtfulness, have strlven to establish
III LHe new appraisal tne rlRntfulneSS
of means will rank at last with tn Q
desirability of ends. OF all crlteria
that have from time to time been sug-
gested to discriminate civilization
from barbarlsm, recognition of the
moral quality of the means employed
to attain desired ends is the most GER
tain. And Of all the measures that
have been used to determine the ex-
tent OF moral progress In distinction
from material advancement, none is 50
precise as the amount OF behavior
which punctilliously regards the pro-
cedure by which individuals and gov
erntnents attempt to attain their pur-
poses. Tho masses OF men have been
slow to perceive these truths, always
clear to the few. The war has flashed
them on a screen upon which the eyes
Of the world are riveted. The maxim
that the end justiiies the means, and
the philosophy that might makes
right, are revealed in all their moral !
rlakedness as the ethics of barbarisrn.

COUNTY LEVY
IS Is MILLS
Commissioners We're Able To Reduce
Levy One Mill Over That
Of Last Year
GET $4,000 TIMBER SALE MONEY
Levies OF the School Districts OF the
County Are Approved

The county commissioners have
placed the county levy for the COM
ing year at Is mills which is one
mill less than last years levy.
Of this years levy is mills is for
the state; mills is for the cur
rent expense fund; 5 for bonds,
sinking fund and interest; % for
general road; rs for bridge and 2.75
for school.
This year the commissioners fig
ured that but little bridge work
would be required and accordingly
the levy for this purpose was cut
one-fourth of a mill. Last year
one-fourth of a mill was required for
the warrant redemption fund and
this year the county is on cash
basis and there will be no warrant
redemption fund. The state levy
amounts to two-tenths of a mill less
than last year and the other three
tenths of a mill was saved on the
general road appropriation, the COM
missioners figuring on receiving
from the forest reserve some $4,000,
the county's share from timber sales

democratic meeting held here last
night and attended by SO voters Of
Wardner, Kellogg and Wallace to
hear Clarence Van Deusen, candi-
date for state auditor, resulted in a
few pyrotechnics Toy on the pro-

candidate for the legislature, rose
and called Van Deusen a liar, using
the word three times, without any

The announcement came when Van
Deusen was speaking of a pamphlet
which he had caused to be printed
to exposed the shortcomings of O..

said that copies of the pamphlet

SUES FOR SADDLE AND GUN
Complicated Case Heard in Probate
Court Here Yesterday

The case of Greenway VS.. Homer
Dayton, involving the right to pos
session of a saddle and revolver, was
tried in probate court before Judge
O'Callaghan yesterday. Greenway
claimed to be the owner of the sad
die and that it had been stolen
from him about a year ago. Dayton
claimed to have purchased the saddle
about a month ago and introduced
considerable evidence to prove his
claim. The revolver came into the
case when Greenway attempted to
take the saddle from Dayton, Green
way claiming that Dayton grabbed
the revolver out of his (Greenway's)
pocket and Dayton claiming that he
took it away from Greenway to pro-
tect himself. Dayton also set up
counterclaim that Greenway had
offered a reward of $500 for the
return of the saddle.
The case went to the jury at 6 p.
M, and about eight o'clock the
jury reported that it had reached
verdict but would not report until
its fees were paid. Judge O'Cal-
laghan ordered them to report at
10 o'clock this morning.
Greenway is represented by E.
NJ. Flood and Dayton by Bottum
& Wilson.
Later-The jury finally found that
Greenway was the owner of the
saddle and gun but that Dayton was
not wrongfully in possession of the
same and that the costs should be
taxed to Greenway. The court then
ruled, over the objections by Day.
toms attorney, that the jury could
not tax costs and taxed them against
Dayton. An appeal on the question
of law will be taken to the district
court.

Residents Look Forward to Good
Business This Coming Season.
Considerable building is now going
on at Meadow Creek, a few miles
north of Boomers Ferry on the Spo-
kane international railway.
w. j. Moore is doing interior work
on his new eight-room hotel and
restaurant which he hopes to have
ready TO- business by the first of
October. Mr.. Moore is an old-timer
in this section but moved away a
few years ago to eastern states. He
has since decided that Idaho is good
enough for him.
B. F. Blair, who recently put in a
pool room and cigar store, has a
number of contracts for building
homes for new corners. He is now
finishing a building erected by P.
j. Danielson who plans to use it
for a meat market.
Boyd Spring, the postmaster and
general merchant of Meadow Creek,
has one of the neatest and best APP
pearing stores of the county. He
reports that business is good al
though Meadow Crek people were
disappointed recently when it was
heard that the Stack-Gibbs Lumber
company had gone broke. This COM
pany, few months ago, bought a
large quantity of white pine near
Meadow Creek which it planned to
log this fall and winter. The COM
pany spent over $4,000 surveying
line for a logging railway and
had arranged for extensive opera
tions.
The mill of the Meadow Greek
Lumber company is running full
time but is not able to keep up with
orders. The concern has work
ahead which will keep it running
all winter.

Enigma Soon Be Unravelled.

The newspaper enigma of the
probable. course of the Capital News
during the present campaign, will
soon be solved, if present indications
are to be taken into account. On
Friday last it was announced that
the control of the paper had gone
into the hands of f. H. Dewey of
of Nampa by reason of the pur-
chase of outstanding bonds and a
majority of the stock. Mr.. Dewey
is quote das saying that the paper
will support Hughes for president.
Just who will be in active charge
of its destinies will not be known
until a meeting of the board of di-
rectors is held the latter part of
this week.
The Capital News has been many
things in the past but never a re-
publican newspaper. When this is
brought about, if it is, the insti-
tuition can be said to have boxed
the political compass. 1t has been
wet and dry, populist, democratic,
progressive and Independent. AS
an afternoon paper it has welded
great influence among its readers
of all parties, and at this time
should prove as asset in a political
way to the republicans and, prop
erly handled in a financial way, to
the new proprietor.

in the city last week, talking of
the way in which the primary vote
was cast and abiding particularly
to the vote given Mr.. Davis in his
own county, where he received about
nine-tenths of the republican votes,
stated that this had been brought
about almost solely through the fact
that practically every man in Power
county was a personal friend of that
gentleman-and that at the Novem-
Der election it would be safe to
wager that he would receive not
only every republican vote but fully
half the democratic votes of the
county.
This attitude of the public mind,
the gentleman stated, had been
brought about through Mr.. Davis
constant course of helpfulness to
every honest endeavorer in the coun-
ty. He has taken on his shoulders
the troubles of other people and no
one has appealed to him in vain
for advice or assistance. The de-
votedness of his friends to his in
terests has become a proverb in that
section of the state. In the minds of
these people he is unbeatable.

ID. w. Davis to take stump.

D. w. Davis of American Falls,
whom the republicans have nomi-
mated for governor by giving him
40 per cent of the total vote cast,
will begin his campaign at once. 1t
is expected that during the remain
der of this week he will visit and
talk to the people in idaho, Adams,
Gem and Owyhee county. He will
follow this by a visit to the prin-
cipal points in Lemhi and Custer
county, and will Chen visit all the
counties of northern Idaho. During
this tour Mr.. Davis will make a
number of speeches, and will be
given an opportunity to meet the
farmer voters.
From this contact it is antici-
pated much additional strength will
come to his candidacy. Although
a business man Mr.. Davis is also
farmer of fine judgment. To him
more than to any other one man is
given the credit for having made
the dry farming section about Am
erican Falls, the greatest grain pro-
ducing region in the state, if one
is to judge from the amount of
grain yearly shipped from that point

ent plans Boomers Ferry Will have
