They have largely brought their edu-
cation with them-and, by the way,
the education does not always fit the
new environment; a process Of re-
education Is necessary for many Of the
newcomers. But from now on it is
going to be more and more necessary
for us to rear and train our own work
ers and citizens and fit them for just
the kind of work and life thai is open
to them here.
EDUCATION AT HOME.
1t Is quite right that some of our
young people should go to other states
for their education and we need not
wish or hope to stop this kind of exo-
dus entirely. But so far too many Of
our students go out of Idaho to college:
the schools OF our six nearest neigh
Dor states enroll 1854 students who re-
gister from Idaho; this is bad enough,
but we know quite well that a goodly
number must be added TO those who
go from Idaho but register from their
new residence, sometimes to avoid
payment of tuition. Then many go to
eastern states.
We do not need to boast that our
schools are the best in the world" in
the old bombastic style, nor even de-
sire to attain any such rank; but we
do want to make them the best for
Idaho and Idaho's young men and D
men, and this we may really hope to
attain. This is exactly the ambition
of the state board of education for
the university and the normal schools
and the Technical Institute at Poca-

little country schools, and massed in
big town schools; they are in fine new

are not so competent, They go to school
on cement sidewalks, and in school
wagons and on horseback and footing

foothold, or at least toe hold, in the
schools. Seldom does a school move

children something about their own

LABOR COMMISSIONER
 NEEDS MORE AUTHORITY
Commissioner Reports Difficulty in Enforcing Labor Laws Because
 Prosecutors Withhold Aid.

Little Rock, Jan. 3.-1n his annual report, Labor Commissioner J. c. Clary says on the subject of law en- fOrcement:
 Under the law creating the bu- reau of labor and statistics it is made the duty of the commissioner to re- port all violations to the prosecuting attorney and that he (prosecuting at torney) shall enter prosecutions. The attorney general has given the com missioner opinion that the commits sioner of labor has no further au- thority than to file information of the violations with the prosecuting attor ney. If this section of the law was so amended that the commissioner would be empowered to file informal ton before the justice of peace, with cut having to give bond for cost, we believe would be of great benefit in getting speedy enforcement of the labor laws. As it seems that the prosecuting attorneys are too busy with prosecuting what they deem of more importance to the state than to take up the prosecution of the labor laws. Therefore, we have drafted a bill covering the labor law enforce ment.
 ''The commissioner should be giv en more powers to investigate un- lawful combinations. He should be given the power to issue subpoenas, compelling corporations and others who transgress the rights of the peo- pie, to bring their books before the commissioner and with the few labor laws we have, we have not been able to obtain the results that we desire"

HIGH BASKETBALL
 TEAM PROMISING

That Pine Bluff High school will have a good basketball team this year is indicated by the interest manifest ed by the many candidates that are training at the Y, under the direction of Coach von Harten. About 20 can didates are daily going through some of the exercises, trying to get down to the required form
 Three old men will be back and from some promising second string men of last years squad, there will be lively race for the vacant posi- tions. Quinn, Mccain and Jones, Of inc old guard, are out. and they look good. With these three stars from last years team to work with, and the many lively youngsters to pick from Pine Bluff Hi should have a team to feel proud of.
 An organization is on foot, backed by the High school students, to boost the games and guarantee funds to pay the expenses of the season. With the spirit of the student body moving in the right direction, there is no reason why they should not be able to draft large list of supporters
 m the students.
 Several games have been arranged and Coach Bassett will soon an- nounce the schedule. Games will be played with Little Rock, Jonesboro, Crossett, Warren. Argenta, Stuttgart and several other schools. The basketeers want to go to the tourna- ment this year and want to have a strong team to represent Pine Bluff.

SAYS HOT WATER
 WASHES POISONS
 s FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water with phosphate In It,
 before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial fiddle, we must keep the liver washed clean, almost every morning. to pre- vent it's sponge like pores from dlogging with indigestible material sour bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted physician.
 If you get headaches, it's your liver If you catch cold easily, it's your liver If you wake up with 9 bad taste furred tongue, nasty breath or stom- ach becomes rancid, it's your liver. Sallow skin, muddy complexion watery eyes all denote liver uncleanli ness. Your liver is the most i'm portant, also the most abused and ne- glected organ of the body. Few know it's function or how to release the dammed-up body waste. bile and toxins. Most folks resort to violent calomel, which is a dangerous. sa vating chemical which can only be used occasionally because it accumu- lates in the tissues. also attacks the bones.
 Every man and woman, sick or we'll, should drink each morning be fore breakfast, a glass of hot water with teaspoonful of limestone phos phate in it, to wash from the liver and bowels the previods days indi- sestible materials, the poisons, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing. sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 Limestone phosphate does not re- strict the diet like oalomel, because it can not salivate, for i. is harmless and you can eat anything afterwards. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, and any pharmacist will sell you a quarter pound, which is sufficient for demonstration of how hot water and limestone phosphate cleans, stim- ulates and freshens the liver. keeping you feeling fit day in and day out.

WORKS ASSERTS
 PRESIDENT HAS USURPED POWER
Says Government Is Not of People, But Is Despotis1n
 of Worst Sort.

Washington, Jan. 4.-With an ar raignment of President Wilson's ad- ministration and what lie called "de- cadence" in American society and government, Senator Works of Call fornia. who retires March 4. delivered his valedictory speech in the senate today.
 He deplored the tendency to cen tralized, unchecked and unlimited pow Gn the part of the president, denounced profligad1 of wealth recommended that the idle rich be compelled by law to work, and urged the formation of new ProgresslVe party, to be known as the "LiberaP party.
 Senator Works declared that the usurpation of power by the president had amounted particularly to "a die tatorship.' Referring to executive pressure on the legislative depart ments. he said:
 of this kind of executive coercion is permitted and submitted to by con gress, then our government is no longer a government Of the people. It is not Democratic, it is not Republ1- clan. It is despotism worse than any known monarchy"
 The presidential insistence upon the passage of the Adamson act. he said. was "deplorable,' while recent confirmation on supreme court justice furnished shocking example of unWarranted influence"
 A recess for the day interrupted the speech. which Senator Works will conclude tomorrow.
