railroad company to install similar
"stop" signs on roads approaching
more dangerous crossings. The act
would have made it a misdemeanor for
any person driving a motor vehicle
to fail to stop his machine completely
when approaching such a crossing,
and in case of accident by reason of
such failure to stop it became prima
facia evidence of carelessness on the
part of the driver.
The bill was objected to by mem
her of the Twin Falls delegation on
the grounds that it would relieve the
railroad company of the necessity of
maintaining automatic warning sig
nails at the more dangerous crossings
and that without such automatic
warning signals, people being accus
toned to use such crossings frequent
ly. would soon become negligent about
bringing their car to a complete stop,
and in case of accident they would
have no recourse on the railway com
pany. The bill was defeated, Barker
and Sims voting against it and Han
cen heing excused from voting Later
in the day the vote by which it was
defeated was recOnsidered upon as
surance being given by the author that
tire objections would he corrected. The
bin viii be amended to empower the

oscillation of automatic devices on GER

BOISE-Declaring the primary cleo
tiOn system in this state to be a fail
ure from the standpoint of expense
and from the standpoint of securing
an expression of the choice of the
voters of the state" Speaker Alfred,
from the floor of the house Monday
afternoon, vigorously scored the
present method of party nominations.
He placed the estimated total cost
per vote in the primary election in
Idaho at $255, and the lowest cost
per vote in the outlying districts of
the state at $3.50 while the cost of
each vote cast in one precinct in JEFF
fersOn county ran as high as twenty
dollars. The total vote cast in the
last primary was 44,006 the average
cost, $1.45( which amount was &C
tually spent by the committee for
election supplies, and expenses.
A postal primary election is the
plan Alfred advocates as a suitable
substitute for the present system
He explained that the bill he had in
troduced was the result of several
months investigation, and that it was
prepared in collaboration with sew
eral of the leading attorneys of the
state. 1t later had been submitted
TO many people in different sections
OF Idaho, he said and whatever de-
fects had been discovered were cor
rected. He believed that the meth
cd finally incorporated in his meas
ure fully safeguarded the safety OF
the ballot, as well as its secrecy.
If this act becomes a law it will
be the duty of the county auditor tC
supply every registered elector in the
county with a printed ballot and 9th
er necessary forms immediately after
the close of nominations. The cleo
tors may retain these ballots in their
homes for several days, giving theil

A Photo .Play-A Great Moral Lesson.
Episodes Are Thrilling.

Ashton Stevens, dramatic critic of the
Chicago Examiner. writes:
L am impressed with the art of this
picture as we'll as with its lesson. This
moving picture is able where the stage
has failed. to give US the drama without
brutality and the moral warning with
out dullness. There is no lure to the
light-minded in this story The thrill
of the episodes has its instant antidote
in the flashing back TO the vice sessions
of the vice commission, with the sub
jects of these sketches destitute of the
rouge and gay raiment telling their
stories without music and scenery, of
dissipation and adventure.
The play is virie. Interesting and
convincing. It's truth has not been
made an excuse for vulgarity, nor is
there any wallowirg IL indecency in the
tenderloin glimpses that are required 20

ignorance is the real culture in which
