Sporting Comment

Every once in a while the Athletics
send a shiver through the other
American League teams. That's
when they play ball as they did sew
eral seasons ago. If they had some
first class pitchers there might be
another story to tell in regard to their
standing.
Wonder how that new ssfnd'' Of
McGraw's is going to act when he
gets into the game next season. His
name sounds good, it's Adac Swigler,
and his record at the University Of
Pennsylvania is fine. McGraw usu-
ally knows how to pick winners
There is nothing like optimism, and
the Boston fans have enough of it to
go around the country, giving every
body a big hunk. They are still con-
fident that the Braves will play a
prominent part In the flag race.
They'd better tell George Stallings to
start stocking the boilers and get un-
der way at once.
Some Of these ball players have an
awfully long memory. Take Sher-
wood Magee, for instance. Every
time he comes sto New York. he makes
an angry face at Umpire Quigley. He
simply can't get over a decision
Quigaey made some time last April
when the Braves were in the big city.
Before you know it. there'u b. an
other fistic encounter on the ball lot
between Kid" Magee and Young
Quigley.
The greatest pinch hitter. In the
world. Gen. John J. Pershing,. Is about
to step to the bat for the Allies. When
he gets in his wallop. watch the
Kaiser run home.
VIII Ray Caldwell. Yankee pitcher,
ever learn from experience? Here he
goes off again and breaks training
rules with the result that he is
soaked with another 500 fine. Hit
ting the high spots Is an expensive
pleasure for ball players In CaId-
wells case it is particularly aggravat-
ing for tnattention to training rules
cost that young man $4,000 in fines
last season. How is that for ex-
pensive batting? K
Joe Burman, the Chicago bantam
weight, has been one of the busiest
little boxers in the game and has de-
cided to take a long rest. Joe has
gone off to a farm and will lead the
simple life for a few months. He is
one Of the cleanest and best fighters
in the game today.

DR.. Talcott, Williams, head of the
school of Journalism, Columbia Uni

Attempts have been made to dis
tribute little bits of literature that
could be carried in the trenches but
it was found that men desired not
trivial things, but instead the big
things that appealed to the patriotism
of men, and above all they wanted
passages of the Bible.''

Newspaper Man in the Interior Tells
of the Wild Rush to Get Public

RTLAND-Freedom is a new and
wonderful thing to the Russians and
it's having strange effect upon them.
The Russians have an all consuming
interest in public affairs, declares }.
S. Schleuning in letter written his
brother Alexander Schleuning here.
John Schleuning is editor of the Peo-

Newspapers have sprung up every
where throughout Russia, the letter
declares. The Russians, formerly a
sleepy race. now are interested in
everything, the editor writes. The
average peasant will drive 100 miles
across a frozen plain to hear the sit
uation discussed.
The reaction against the old regime
is extreme Everything that hints of
the days of the monarchy meets public
disapproval.
Schleuning declared strong under

MOSCOW MAN FILES
VIGOROUS PROTEST
OBJECTS TO USE OF TRUST FUNDS
TO PAY GENERAL
EXPENSES

Robert Otness, for years recognized
as one of the leading Socialists of La
tab county, has filed Vigorous protest
against the use of school trust funds
for the payment of general state ex-
penses. The following from the Idaho
Daily Statesman of December 10 will
be of interest
Editor Statesman: Your paper of
Wednesday morning, the 9Th inst,
contains an article entitled State Al
most Fails to Pay" the closing para
graph of which is as follows: THE
last legislature so changed the law
that all expenses incurred at the penal
charitable and educational institutions
turn interest money derived from the
general school fund goes into the gen
eral fund, as does all other moneys
coming from different sources"
Permit me to direct your attention
to section 8, article g. of the consti-
tuition of Idaho, which provides as
follows The public school fund of
the state shall forever remain inviolate
and intact; the interest thereon only
shall be expended in the maintenance
of the schools of the state, and shall
be distributed among the several coun-
ties and school districts of the state
in such manner as may be prescribed
by law. No part of this fund, prin-
cipal or interest, shall ever be trans
ferred to any other fund, or used or
appropriated except as herein pro-
vided
Could the English language express |
more clearly the intent of the trainers
of the constitution in regard to the |
public school funds? Is there an in
tellect in Idaho, outside of the state |
institutions at Blackfoot and Orofino,
SO obtuse as to fail to understand that |
provision of the state constitution?
Yet in defiance of such provision
the interest on the school funds of the
state, the inheritance of the children,
is being used to pay the salaries of
children's money; we are even in
formed that a part of the funds paid
out for salaries is used to pay the s
fittings to a Democratic campaign
funds. Have we no longer regard
or honor? J
1t is said that history repeats it t
self Within the area of what con- F
'titutes the capitol grounds at Boise
history records that the supreme pen
llty was paid for disregard of law; it
S hoped that such a tragedy will never
gain appeal to an indignant people. .
)ffice holders must respect their oaths
f office; the constitution is sacred.

Wire Fence Saves Joy Riders

A party of eight young ladies and
gentlemen from Fullerton, while joy
riding about Fort Ransom last Sun
day had a very narrow escape from
death or serious injury.
They had proceeded part way up
the big hill back of Walkers store
when some one of the party sug-
gested that they go back. The young
lady chauffeur threw off the switch
intending to coast back down the
hill, but just as they were opposite
the Walker residence, the brakes for
some reason let go and the driver lost
control of the big Studebaker car.
backing it off the embankment. With
the rear wheels just over the edge
they lodged against a two-strand wire
fence, which was all that held them
from a hundred foot drop. 1t is a
wonder that the frail wires held the
heavy car but they did, and willing
hands soon helped them up onto the
road again with the assistance of a
strong block and tackle.
No one was hurt, except that the
ladies of the party suffered severe
shock. The only damage to the car
was few scratches from the fence

MoNANGo BOY WRITES
FROM ACROSS THE SEA

Mr.. and Mrs. Webb Hafey and FAM
lily are in receipt of letter from their
son and brother, Coy Hafey, who is
in the navy and is now located
somewhere in Scotland" Coy writes
that he had just been in Ireland and
while in that picturesque land he went
to the Blarney Castle and kissed the
Blarney stone. He says that he is
"real Irish" now. He stated he had
visited Cork several times and had
been in Dublin twice.
Coy is in the best of health and
enjoying the adventures his travels
daily bring forth. He requested his
parents to send him old magazines
when convenient.
He can lie reached by addressing
his mail to o. c. Hafey, U. S. s.
Nahma, in care of postmaster, New
York city, N. Y. The mail will be
forwarded to his proper address
across the sea. The letter addressed
aboard ship on August 4th arrived
Tuesday the 28th.
A letter recently received was writ
ten shortly after his arrival across the
pond. He stated that not Sub" was
sighted enroute and that the Ameri-
cans were somewhat disappointed fol
there was nothing out of the ordinary
to stir up excitement and relieve the
monotony of a trip across the water.
