HONORING DIR VETERANS

No more fitting tribute could be
paid by the state of Idaho to those
old veterans residing within its boun-
daries than to provide them with rail-
way transportation and funds for in
cidental expenses to enable such OF
them as are physically able to attend
the Memorial Reunion and Peace
Jubilee, October 10th, nth, 18th, and
18th, next at Vicksburg, Mississippi.
Nor could the state in any way do
itself more honor; for a state, like a
nation. is to be judged by the men
whom it honors.
These men, once youths or in the
years or early manhood, stood ready
to sacrifice everything to preserve
their country and to emancipate an
enslayed race. The nobility of the
cause in which these men enlisted will
never be e1celled. 1t is through them
through the comrades that went-tc
return no more, and through the COM
rades that time has taken since, that
this nation is what it is today. 1t was
these men who gave us the high ideals
to which our country has even since
been pledged and of which we are SC
justly proud.
This great nation can afford tc
grant them every courtesy, to honor
them in every way, and with the
healing influence of the passing years
to honor blue and gray alike.
With the laudable purpose in mind
we have suggested, Senator Athertor
introduced bill in the legislature ap-
propriating ten thousand dollars. The
senate committee on finance saw fit tC
report the bill unfavorably for rea-
sons thas we do not understand anC
with WHICH we would probably fail
to sympathize if we did understand
A similar bill has now been intro
duced in the house by a member OF
the Twin Falls delegation, carrying
an appropriation of five thousand dol
lars and restricting the application
of the act to those veterans who par
ticipated in the engagements in and
around Vicksburg.
1t would seem that Idaho might at
least go this far.

THE OCCASION OF THAT SUNDAY
SESSION

Republicans in the house Saturday
afternoon discovered that the steam
pressure was low in the Democratic
roller They forthwith proceeded to
start something. and nearly succeed
ed in indefinitely postponing a few OF
the pet measures of the Democrats.
During the afternoon members from
the Democratic side drifted out of the
legislative hall one by one on vari-
Gus errands until the Democratic ma
sjority of six had been reduced to zero
The Republicans Immediately started
to take charge of the situation, but
accomplished nothing more than Civ
ing the Democrats a good scare and
forcing a Sunday session. They had

Gratis had on the floor, including the

efforts throughout the world. Here gain high prices are the quickest cure for Arrangement arising from war or the submarine campaign.
 One feature of real encouragement was the last government crop report. It suggested crop of 3,124.000,000 bushels of corn, which almost equals the bumper crop of 1912. when the price was about soc, against nearly $2.0O now. This enormous increase in the money value of corn will be a powerful stimulus in the west. The wheat crop has also much improved in condition, indicating 22,00O,0OO bushels more than a month ago. The most sensational gain was in the potato crop, which promises 425, ,0O0,- 900 bushels, compared with 2sb,000,- 900 last year. All things considered the agricultural outlook is good. No serious shortages are in prospect, and high prices amply offset increased costs of production.

PalitiZ in Star NH.
 The Lenox A. c. of Meriden has ar- ranged a boxing card for it's next show to be held at Hanover Park on Thursday evening, July 19, that is un- occasionally one of the finest ever put forth for the entertainment of Nutmeg State fans. when Battling kunz of South Norwalk, lightweight champion of Connecticut, and Dave k O. Palitz of Hartford, will contest in the star bout of the evening, 12 rounds at 14O pounds. The boys have met once before. Palitz administer ing the sleep potion to the champion, but this was before Kunz had reached his present form. Fans from this city who watched the battler in action against Chic Brown of New Haven are confident that he will have no trouble in disposing of his Capitol city adversary.
 The sem-final bout is one that To- cal fans have been clamoring for since the night of July 4, when the contestants, Joe Rocco of Hartford and Mickey Doherty met in the same ring in a ten round battle that was sizzler. It will be rememb bered that

 Over in Waterbury the home of good boxers, fine boxing exhibitions and equally good fellows there's com ing along at present, youthful lad who gives promise of equalling the record of his brother in the American prize ring. Johnny Shugrue, who is slated to face Battling Greene of Hartford. The writer has the word of Joe Shugrue that his kid" brother has the earmarks of a champion and is at present as good as the boy who f1attened Benny Leonard. Johnny has made two starts in the ring. despite his fifteen years, the first breaking bad for him but his second mill in New Haven against young Mulligan with Honest Dave" Fitzgerald refe- rec ended with that official raising the right hand of Johnny indicating that he was the winner. The local boxing adherents will root to the man for the brother of one of the most popu- 1 lar boys who ever crawled through the ropes.
 The show will be held in the open, rain or shine, commencing at S:15 o'clock with no delays, permitting up- state fans plenty of opportunity of catching the 11:06 o'clock train. Dave Fitzgerald will be the judge of tho bouts with Hugh Rorty in his usual f skit of roaring the announcements.
