biles reference was made 10 the large
advertisements which were carried IN

Mccumber Persistent.

Senator McCumber let's no opportu-
nifty escape to call attention TO the fact
that more consideration should be Civ
en- TO the submarine war than other
questions before congress. He has
made several speeches upon that line
and introduced good deal of evidence
to show that the submarine menace Is
one Of the greatest danger points to
this country and more particularly TO
Great Britain.
1t is quite possible, however, that
Senator McCumber may be right. But
1t Is unlikely. even II both the senate
and house should devote their entire
time TO such measures, that they would
get any further than or even as far as
scientific men and inventors who are
now working on that subject.

Guiomar Novaes, because of her
great ability, was sent by the Bra
lillian government to Paris where,
she was graduated from the conserva-
tory of music and won the highest
honors given by that institution. Now
that she is playing in New York,
though inspired by the great mu-
sicians of all nationalities, she is nat
urally more fond of the French mu-
sic and has done justice to her great
teacher Philips, whose barcarole she
has played with the greatest success
But the French music has been
brought into prominence by her in
New York, where she played many
masterpieces seldom heard there.
Guiomar Novaes is one of the many
musicians of Brazil but she, as the
others, has been unknown to the
world. Now it seems that the curtain
which separated these nations from
each other has parted and we are to
know more of each other, which will
be to the benefit of both nations.

HONOR AND LIFE

Life is "dirt cheap" these days.
In all the peace discussions, there
is made mention of recovered terri
tory. indemnities and what not, but
little is said about the vast slaughter
of human lives, except a bromide
reference to the name of humanity.
Diplomats microscopically scan notes
sent by other nations. Newspapers
comment upon the terminology OF the
notes and seek for hidden insults.
Much is said about honor. Finally,
diplomats, after weighing the notes
and deciding by some God-given dip
lomatic flare that their honor is not
vet avenged, send orders to Tommy
and Jean on the frontier to go out
and kill few Johanns and Fritzes so
that their honor may be saved.
And at home some mother, left with
out husband and son, curses the Ger
mans, while some German mother
gazes at brass Identification tag
which tells her that her son and hus-
band are dead, begs God to "strafe
England"
Then perhaps in five years, after
thousands of brass tags have been
sent home to German mothers as sub
stitutes for their loved ones, and
strip of landscape once known as
Elsass-Lothringen becomes again AL
sace-Lorraine, the diplomats will
again meet in private, again exchange
notes, weigh the notes in the scales
and perhaps decide that their honor
is once more intact.
Then wild joy will reign in the
hearts of some and mothers will be
grateful that Alsace-Lorraine will be
painted a different color on the map.
Wonderful,
What an all-embracing term this
honor is. Many men are killed, chill
dren starved, women violated, terri
tory stolen, all in the name of honor.
Cities are burned, fields are wrecked,
art destroyed-all to satisfy honor.
If the fight is draw, as it seems
that this may be, then both parties are
as they were and neither of them have
gained any honor. If it is decisive
win for one side, then the other has
suffered loss in honor.
Honor, what crimes are committed
in your name!

STATE PRESS OPINION
Begging for Support.

Independence. CMo.l Examiner:
The spectacle of the great Univer-
sity of Missouri on it's knees before
the appropriations committee of the
State Legislature, begging for suf-
ficient amount of money for operat-
ing expenses shames every Missou-
rian. 1t also puts the university at
the mercy of politicians and political
trades even to the extent of threaten
ing the positions of men who are CIV
ing their lives to the work of build
ing up a great school. This condi-
tion will be remedied if a new consti-
tuition is built for Missouri and this is
one of the big reasons for a new con-
stitution. The effort will be to pro-
vide ample support for the University
from revenues which are not at all de-
pendent on the action of the legisla-
ture.
Every Missourian who is loyal to
the University ought to bring to bear
on the legislature whatever pressure
he may be able to command to get
liberal treatment at this session. This
would at least let the members un-
derstand that the people will not tol-
crate a course which cripples their
great school.
In every legislative district the sup
porters of the University should make
it an issue with the candidates for
legislative nOsitions

for Only s1,s40,000
An appropriation Of $3.366,224 for
the University of Nebraska Is asked
in the biennial budget announced re-
Gently by Governor Morehead. This is
an increase of more than 5000, 1000
over the appropriation of two years
ago. The amount asked this year
does not include the special building
fund, which is appropriated by the
people of the state rather than by the
legislature.
The University Of Missouri, which
has practically the same number Of
students as has the University of Ne
braska, is asking the Missouri Legis-
lature for $1,340.000. The sum asked
by Missouri's highest educational in
stitution is about one-third the amount
usually received by the University Of
Nebraska.
The total appropriations made by
the Nebraska Legislature in 1915 were
$7,646,119, of which the University of
Nebraska received $3,164,873. The
University Of Missouri in 1915 received
from the Legislature $1.144.032. State
Auditor Gordon stated few days ago
that the revenue of Missouri for the
ensuing biennial period will be ap-
proximately $11.500,000.
The tax valuation of property in Ne
braska is given in the governors bud
get as $500.827,276. Missouri's total
taxable wealth in 1915, according to
the official manual, was $1,856, 1885, Jas,
which is more than three times that
of Nebraska.

GUIOMAR NOVAES

Possibly the readers have already
seen, in the newspapers of New York
and also in many magazines, articles
concerning the Brazilian pianist who
is playing now in New York, Miss
Guiomar Novaes. 1t is not surpris-
ing that at this time more things have
been heard Of that country because
war has turned her attention to the
United States.
Great men who have contributed to
civilization like Ruy Barbosa, one of
the greatest thinkers of our age, who
has been unknown to us, is now max
ing his appearance in the world
through his unquestionable ability as
a leader in international problems.
Ruy Barbosa, the greatest jurist of
Brazil, who can rank with the fore
most thinkers of the world has never
been in America but has been a law
yer in London and is man of re-
markable ability.
Guiomar Novaes, also a Brazilian, is
now in America and has delighted the
best audiences in this country with
her musical talent She is only
twenty-five years old but ranks with
the highest pianists of the world. All
the newspaper critics of New York
have praised the abilities of this
young Brazilian. Mr.. Finck, of the
New York Evening Post, says:
More inspired playing than that of
Guiomar Novaes has never been heard

SWIM PRESIDENT OF
THE NEW COUNCIL
Special Meeting Adopts Rules for Free
Water, Let SprinkIing Contract and
Sets Cleanup Day.

Pursuant to cali of Mayor f. F..
Bracken the city council met in special
session Saturday night, electing Coun-
Gilman Arthur L. Swim as president of
the council.
Rules governing free water were
adopted as follows: Free water will
not be supplied where canal water is
available and that free water will not
be guaranteed in view of the inadequ-
acy of parts of the present water sys-
tenn and the preference to be given
paying users.
The council voted to adopt a sys-
tenn of rotation between the east and
the west sides of Shoshone street. In
case of fire, it is provided under the
provisions of an ordinance previously
enacted, that all water shall be shut
off
The sprinkling contract for the year
was let to Bessire, & Robinson.
Tuesday, June 5, was selected as
Cleanup" day. Although under the
plan adopted by the previous admin
istration. cleaning up is a steady pro-
cess and the town is kept clean all
the time, yet a special day which will
brush up all the corners and make the
city indeed "Spotless Town" was deem
ed advisable.

WASHINGTON, May 15-President
Wilson today decided to apply the

ed of the dilatOry tactics that have
characterized that action of both the

is particularly displeased with the in

the endless reversals of attitude on
them after they have been injected.

A VISITORS TRIBUTE
Mr.. Longley:

Mr.. Longley:
/ want to thank you for the
invitation to be present at the
May Day Festival given by the
children of your public schools.
In my travels in different parts
of the country, north, south, east
and west, I have viewed many
exhibitions given by public
school children, but have never
witnessed more successful
and attractive fete than 1 saw
given by the children of Twin
Falls today. 1t was a wonder
full demonstration of perfect
drill, and showed not only this
but remarkable leadership and
skillful handling. The parti-
cular thing that struck me, if
one thing above the other may
be mentioned, was the artistic
conception and original ideas
exemplified throughout the en-
tire program. Those in charge
from the least to the greatest
should be congratulated for

but clock-like precision marked

shall go to my home town
with a vivid recollection of one
of the most pleasant entertain
ments I have ever seen, and
moreover, inspired by what your
teachers and children showed
me was possible in the develop
ment of child life when properly
taught and led.
Twin Falls need never fear for
the future with such jewels of
growing womanhoOd and young
manhood inspired by your mag
: nificent public school system.

The Twin Falls public schools are

being the case, anyone can see that
when all these teachers and pupils
combine their wits and their interest

is going to be doing, sure!
y Last Friday saw the elimination oi

accomplished is attested by the ap-
plause and commendation of the
thousands of spectators, most of whom
were patrons of the schools, as vel
as by the variety and beauty of the
costumes and the promptness and pre-
cision with which the entire program
was carried out.

new secretary will take up the matter
of starting a membership campaign.
Relative to the Bruneau, the club
has information to the effect that
there is a general sentiment in favor
of united action throughout southern
Idaho in favor of keeping the project
under the Carey act as it is felt that
the salvation of the country lies in ir-
rigation and its development would
be retarded by putting it back for dry
farming. President Hackman said
that he had been assured by Congress-
man Addison T. Smith that he was
heartily in favor of the clubs posi-

GREAT LINER ESCAPED
GRAVE IN THE WATERS
Submarine Sends Torpedo That Misses
BY Ten Feet-AnOther Ship Sunk
With Heay Loss of Life.

NEW YORK, May 15-A submarine
unsuccessfully tried to sink the White
Star liner Baltic with torpedoes, but
missed the ship by ten feet, accord
ing to travellers arriving here today.
1t was definitely learned today that
forty-six passengers and forty-four
members Of the crew of the British
liner AbOsse we're lost when the vessel
was summarized without warning off
Fastnet April "a. The Abosse was
unable to stop her engines after the
torpedo struck her and her hull
struck three lifeboats, smashing them
and crushing and drowning their oc-
cupants.
According to the story here, the
Abosse was steaming 800 miles south
of Fastnet on the night of April "a,
when about o'clock, the lookout saw
light ahead. Immediately afterwards
the torpedo struck. The submarine
was not sighted. The Abosse was
armed and fitted with wireless. The
admiralty patrol rescued the survivors
and landed them at Liverpool.
