day, Prof. G. j. Brosman, sup |
erintendent of the Nampa pub |
lie schools delivered a lecture
in which he presented some |
hitherto unknown facts rela-
tive to Idaho history, says the |
Capital News. At the outset
Prof. Brosman made the point
that patriotism begins at home |
If the young people of Idaho
are to be taught patriotism, he
stated, the schools must teach
them to be loyal to their own
home, their own neighbors
their own school, and if they
show a fine loyalty within that
narrow circle, they can be later
counted on to be loyal to their
state and nation.
He declared that teaching
history in the past has been
based on unsound principles.
that it has been grounded on
the theory that young people
should be started with the stu
dy of Egypt or a remote group
of seaboard states, rather than
with the romantic and thrill
ing history Of our own state, he
added:
I'm the past we have insist
ed upon our pupils studying
about the Egyptian Nile, but
we have neglected to tell about
our Idaho Nile.
eve have insisted on theiI
describing the Assouan dam
but we have neglected to tell
them that we have three most
remarkable dams in the state
of Idaho.
1--WE have insisted on then
knowing the story of Pocahon.
tas but we have neglected tC
tell them the more fascinating
story of Sacajawea, whom Pro
fessor Hosmer declares to b.
one of the most remarkable In
dian women that ever lived.
1.-TWO illustrations Of this
lack of the right kind Of loyal
ty to our own state were givel

greatly to our credit, he said,
that fine biographical sketch
of Idaho's first builder should
have been produced by a citi-
zen of the far east.
The speaker next brought
out new facts with reference to
Wilson Price Hunt, OF Trenton,
New Jersey, who led the first
overland expedition through
Southern Idaho. He said that
no finer story of loyalty conld
be found anywhere than he
manifested to his chief, John
Jacob Astor. His life, after
leaving Idaho, was clearly brot
out showing that he was APP

Of st. Louis in 1892 by Presi- .

/ One of the incidents in the
address which commanded
the closest attention from the
students was the recital of the
extraordinary events of human
interest in the life of Captain
Bonneville, who spent three
years in Idaho. Mr.. Brosman
declared that no figure in A
nerican history with which he,
had knowledge was blest with
more influential friends than
Bonneville. It was Tom Paine
who brought Bonneville and
! his mother to this country to
, escape the terrors of the
French revolution. 1t was the
same Tom Paine that secured
his cadetship at West Point.

Paris, Aug. 30.-France proposes to
put the cost of the war on those best
able to bear it by taxing war profits
up to 80 per. cent.
Minister of Finance Thierry made
his announcement today in an inter-
view with the United Press, explain
ing Frances scheme of financing the
war. He added a special plea that
Americans aid France by purchasing
their luxuries from French factories
these industries yielding a large part
of Frances taxes. ~.-.-
I'VE in France are following very
closely the financial debates in Amer

preciate the difficulties and the new
problems before America-especially
the problems of taxation for war pur-
poses.
Effective legislation regarding the
latter has been difficult, particularly
in France, where there was no in
come tax before the war This lack
has made it necessary for US to estab-
lish the fixed revenue in before-the-
war periods in order to tax the excess.

Mrs. Walkley and Wellman c. Walk

sitous circumstances.
When Walkley steps on the scales
they balance at about 100 pounds but
he admitted to the officers that his
wife put it all over him when she met
him on the street in Kansas City.
Walkfey disappeared from his
home along in June and his wife To-
Gated him in Kansas City. She didn't
bother with warrant right then. In
stead she searched him out. She ad-
mits she handled him roughly but
excuses herself by declaring she sim
ply lost her temper.
According to the story she told
county officers she met her husband
on the street with another woman. a
woman named Vera, and she was so
1ncensed that she lost control of her
temper for a moment and landed on
Walkley-and she didn't overlook
Vera, either.
She walloped her big husband in
the nose, she said and made it bleed.
Then she extracted some attractive
locks from the scalp of Vera. That is
the story county officials had before
Walkley was arrested. But with his
arrest they had additiona. details to-
day They say that she lifted some of
Vera's tresses, hit Walkley N the nose,
slapped his mouth and knocked a
lighted cigar down his neck
She Admits Story.
That something of the kind hap
pened is fairly certain, for when Mrs
Walkley asked for warrant for her
husbands arrest, she wanted to know
of the county attorney If she had
prejudiced his case any by punching
her husbands face on a public street
in Kansas City. Robert Carver
couldn't see that such an act affected
the status of her case and the warrant
was issued.
When 1 saw him on the street with
that other woman" she said, "I just
couldn't stand it. 1 lost my temper"
Walkley admits she lost her temper.
The officers do not have the version
of the mysterious Vera.

FORESTS STILL BURN!
Valuable Timber Menaced From Two
Sides; Hundreds Fight Flames.

Missoula, Mont, Aug. 30.-Destruc-
tion of a stand of timber valued at
many thousand dollars is threatened
by a forest fire on the lower south
fork of the Flathead river today. Sew
eral crews of fire fighters have been
sent to the scene.
With fires raging in the district
about Deep creek, Doris creek and
Pioneer Ridge, this stand of timber is
menaced from two sides and several
hundred fire fighters are building
lines to keep the flames from spread-
ing. The forest endangered is among
the largest in the state and is estf-
mated by forest service men to be
most vaiuable owing to proximity to
the navigable F'lathead river and be-
cause of the large trees.

Well Known KanSan Was a
Power in Politics.
His Death Followed an Opera
ton at st. Joseph, Mo.
POWER FELT IN EVERY COUNTY
Won and Held for Years the
Just Title of S'BOss."
Early Settler and Participant
in History Making.

Cvrus Leland of Troy, for more
than a quarter Of a century, the DOM
inant power in Republican politics in
Kansas. died at 4:3O this morning in
Moves hospital, St. Joseph, Mo. His
death followed a second opera
ton and he had been in d dangerous
condition since Sunday. He had
been in the hospital three months.
He was 76 years old.
No man who has played the po-
Htical game in Kansas has been more
widely known or was more supreme
in his power than Leland. He won
and held for years the just title of
Boss and his power was felt in
every county and court house and
township and school district in Kan
as we'll as below. There were years
when Cy Leland talked in Washing
ton for Kansas and the middle west.
And in those years jealous politicians
and envious senators and congress-
men tried to undermine the Leland
power that held supreme.
Almost since the days when the
first pages of Kansas history were
written, Leland was a part of the
history making. He came to Kan
sas with his parents from Sauk coun-
ty, Wis, when he was II years old.
Almost before he could vote he was
out with the Union forces in the Civil
war. He won a captains commission
and he was in war as he was in pri-
vat, yate life-forceful, fearless and re-
Before he came home from the
war Leland was elected to a seat in
the state legislature. 1t was the
election of 1854, the second election
following statehood. Then Leland
came home to work and fight for the
laurels he won.
For 24-Year Period.
From 1873, there was a twenty
four year period when the dominant
power of Cyrus Leland was felt thru
out the state and often in the nation.
Those were the heydays of Leland
rule. He ruled fear1essly. but with a
justice that held him in exalted place
in his party.
During those twenty-four years Le-
land helped to plan and execute every
campaign policy in Kansas. Early in
the days of his supremacy, Leland was
elected chairman of the Republican
state committee. Those were trouble
some days in Kansas politics and Le-
within and without his party on scores
OF occasions.
In 1884 Leland went a step higher.
He was elevated from state chairman
to Republican national committeeman
That threw him in personal touch with
the big men of his party in the ma
ton. And during the sixteen years
Leland stayed in the ring as national
committeeman he directed some of the

Wilson VIII Take Newsprint
Paper for 2H Cents Pound.
Publishers Believe Order Opens
Way for Their Relief.

Washington, Aug. 3o.-In an order
which newspaper publishers declare
will serve as an important precedent,
President Wilson has fixed a. price of
two and one-half cents on news print
paper for use in publishing the gov
ernfnent's daily Official Bulletin.
The order fixing the price was is
sued by Secretary Baker at the presi-
dents directions under the national
defense act, which empowers the gov
ernment to commander supplies
needed for war purposes. 1t was di-
rected to the International Paper COM
pany which had declined to furnish
news print for the Bulletin at less
than three cents a pound.
Newspaper publishers who learned
of the order today expressed the hope
that it might open the way for cheap
er news print to news publishers gem
'erally. They called attention to state
ments by the president that the ad-
ministration's price policy will be one
that provides the same prices for the
public as for the government.

Report to President and He
viii Cast Deciding Vote.

Washington. Aug. 30.-The wheat
price fixing committee carried its de-
Hberations into the third day in an
effort to report an agreement on a
fair valuation for the 1917 crop. De-
cision on the question was expected
before the close of the days session.
The committees decision to submit
a report to President Wilson without
recommendation, was taken to indi-
cate that it had not been able to agree
wholly on a price and that the presi-
dent would in effect cast the deciding
vote.
Announcement will be made at the
White House after the president has
reviewed the recommendations and
approved a price.
