TO SALUTE NEGRO OFFICERS.
South Puts Aside Racial Feeling
Honor Uniform not the Man.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, November Ii
Louisville, in which much of the spirit
of the old South still lives putting
aside racial feeling and personal preiu-
dice. has settled for itself, patriotical
ly and unreseryedly, the question of
the propriety Of white soldiers salut-
ing Negro officers. This question.
which came to the fore recently, was
on first thought answered negatively,
but later way was found to recon
ellie inherent convictions with military
regulations.
The solution reached was that an Of
ticcr should not be regarded as q per
sonalitv toward whom the salute was
directed. but that the military view
point which makes the salute homage
to the country's uniform and TO tire
things it tvpifcs should be accepted.
An exposition Of this Viewpoint was
voiced by Gen. John i. Castleman. 4
major OF the Army of the Confeder
acv, later colonel of "A Kentucky Ma
tional Guard regiment and brigadier
general OF volunteers who saw actr,
service III Porto Rico during the Span

SUPERVISOR TO BE
ENGAGED FOR BOYS
AND GIRLS CLUBS

Caldwell, March 17.-Through a de-
cision reached by the executive COM
mittee of the county farm bureau of
this county, which was held in this
city today, q supervisor will be en-
ployed to direct the work of the boys
and girls clubs of tho different COM
munities Of the county. Last year tho
work of the clubs was directed by
County Farm Agent w. Z. Mccall
and Miss u. Fay Fowler, county SUI
perintendent OF public instruction, but
in order to more strongly emphasize
the work and to give a still stronger
impetus to scientific agriculture which
has already made such a great prog
ress in the county the past several
years. c. Ben Ross, the president of
Mccall hold that q supervisor who has
highly specialized in the work can ac-
complish results justifying his en-
ployment.
Under the provisions of the Smith
Lever bill enacted into law by con-
gress some two years ago, e-half of
the expense of supervisor is met by
the national government and the other
half by the county.
Canyon county already enjoys the
distinction of having the largest county
bureau in the entire United States and
the movement just iraugurated gives it
the additional distinction of being the
first county in the state to place he
work of the boys and girls clubs
upon such a substantial basis.

Is an encouraging commentary upon

Horace G. Myers Very Low
as Result of Burns Sus-
tanned in the Sherman
House Fire.
GOODS TAKEN FROM
WRECKED BUILDING
Miss Jessie Myers, Daughter
of Man Suffocated, on Her
Way Home From Cali
fornia-Guests at House
Locate in Other Quarters.

The condition of Horace C. Myers,
whose effort to save his father from
the flames at the Sherman house Sat
urday morning resulted in his being
badly burned was reported serious at
m early hour this morning.
The main building of the Sherman
house at Seventh and jefferson, dam
aged to the extent of several thousand
dollars by fire and water Saturday
morning. stands practically deserted
Most of the furniture in the building
was moved out Saturday afternoon and
placed in a storehouse. 1t was feared
the furniture might be damaged to a
greater extent by the falling of plas-
tering which was soaked with water
and from which water continued to
drip late in the evening.
Mrs. Sherier, who had charge of the
house during the absence of Miss Jes-
sic Myers, who is spending the wint r
in California; worked from early morn
ing until late at night, overseeing the
removal of the furniture and looking
after the comfort of the guests in the
annex, most of whom have remained.
MISS MYERS RETURNING.
Word from Miss Myers was received
Saturday afternoon. She had left Los
Angeles for Boise at l o'clock, shortly
after receiving the telegram announC-
ing the death of her father, John My
ers and the serious condition of her
brother. Horace c. Myers. Miss Myers
had conducted the Sherman house for
q number of years. but this winter de-
cided to take vacation which she was
spending in the south.
The furnace in the house had just
been opened up by the janitor and
given good draft with more coal
when the fire broke out. SCOT on the
roof catching fire by sparks from the
chimney, it is probable, was the cause
of the blaze although it may have beer
defective electric wiring. Neither the
chief of the fire department nor the
building inspector is certain as to the
cause.
TOOK REFUGE IN STATE HOUSE
Most of those who fled from the
burning structure ran to the state
house, opposite, where they were given
shelter in the office of the secretary
of state, being admitted by the night
Waterman.
Last evening most of the guests and
those employed there had entirely re-
covered from the shock received early
In the morning when their lives were
endangered by the flames. Most o.
the guests had gotten out all of theil
personal belongings and moved tc
other quarters.
AS to whether or not the buildinl
would be repaired and re-opened NJ
one could say for certain, but the be.
lief is entertained that it will be and
that Miss Myers will look after tina
matter upon her return.

GOOD PROGRESS IN

ment Campaign Brings
Flattering Results, $25, 900
Being Secured in Caldwell.

Caldwell March 17.-As a result of
the College of Idaho endowment week
campaign which has been in progress
in this city the past week, an amount
in excess of 900 has been secured
in this city for the endowment fund of
a half million dollars which it Is pro-
posed to raise for that institution dur
ing the present year. OF the proposed
endowment fund. 100000 is to be raised
in this state and eastern Oregon, and
of this sum $4,000 is to be raised in
this city and it's tributary country. the
$4,000 which has just been raised being
q part of this sum. The remaining
$40O 900 is to be raised in the east.
Both the college faculty and the
business men OF the city are highly
elated over the success of the campaign
of the week. and 1t is freely predicted
that the endowment which is desired
will be secured during tho year.
PLEASED WITH RESULT.
In commenting upon the result Of the
weeks activities and the future outlook
of the college today. DIR. Chalfant, the
vice president of the college, said:
81 feel we'll satisfied that we shall
be able to raise the half million. It is
not the work of day or n week. but
out experience in this Caldwell cam
palgn makes It evident that the sple0
did life of "a crifice of DIR. Boone, the
honored president Of the college, has
left a deep impress upon the whole
community, and ! am confident that
there are many in Idaho who will show
their appreciation of the quarter CEN
fury service he and his institution have
rendered the state of Idaho by making
liberal subscriptions to adequately en-
dow the College of Idaho. Drawing its
students from nine states the college
is no longer of merely local interest
and constituency. It's graduates are
received into the best post graduate
universities and those who have been
thus received have without exception
made good.
"As to future growth we need not
worry except as that growth becomes
/ in itself burden for with the low tut
/ ton of this school a five dollar bill
must be laid down by someone beside
every dollar the student pays in tut
/ ton. The Caldwell business men and
/ women who have worked on the so
/ called Committee of Sixty are all
alive to the value of the college and
they are willing to share with the whole
state a part in the support and privi-
/ leges OF this college which is not the
/ College of Caldwell but the College of
Idaho, the oldest college OF the state.
The subscription of $4,000 toward the
100000 we are to raise in Idaho is a
/ fair start toward the goal we hope 10
reach. We cannot say Just when we
will get there. but you may quote nc
as saying with emphasis, we will get
there"
