Senator Chamberlnln's speech,

"Who can measure the mighty

Board Hears Plea for Ordi-

Tho Board OF Aldermen held a pub
lie hearing this Afternoon on an ordi-
nance which provides that there shall
be bureau OF School Lunches at

tion FOR the purpose OF furnishing
lunches and such other meals as may

II is further provided in the ordi-

The idea of furnishing luncheons
to school children I'm this city was
conceived by The Evening World.
Miss Sophie Irene Loeb, who began
extensive investigations both in this
country and Europe a number Of
years ago, produced facts and figures
to show that tho penny lunch In this
city should not be reduced 20 the
plane Of philanthropy or charity.
Said Miss Loeb:

penny lunches should I've conducted

CURRENT COMMENT.

EVERYBODY remembers the old
lady in the story who was asked
how things were going in her church,
and who answered disconsolately
mot very well'--and then brighten
ing. but praise God. the Baptists
aren't doing any better" America be-
gan long time ago to outgrow the
spirit Of that afterthought; to the war
we owe thanks for the fact that we
are now about to outgrow it complete
ly. Under the impulse of the great
cause In which we are all united the
differences which previously divided
us have come to seem inconsequential
indeed. Good people Of every faith
and creed are learning the lesson of
liberation which the forces of evil
learned long ago--thst they work
most effectively when they work To-
gether The country will have
splendid demonstration of the unity
which war has helped to bring about
when the seven great War Work Ag-
encies open their united campaign for
funds November IL. OF these seven
organizations two are avowedly Prot |
estant--the Y. M. C. A. and the Y.
w. c. A. One is Catholic-the Ma
tional Catholic War Council, embrac-
ing the Knights Of Columbus. The
Jews are represented by the Jewish
Welfare Board, and the other three |
organizations, the Salvation Army, |

the War Camp Community Service.
have no specific utilization. The
amount Of money for which the Unit
ed War Work Campaign will ask in
November is si7o.500, 900, the largest
single gift ever asked from any people
at one time. Gem county's quota is
$4,000. That the public will respond
with the full amount and more is
certain in advance. Scarcely home
in America has failed to receive from
it's soldier or sailor representatives
evidence Of the value of the work the
seven great agencies are doing and
appeals for their continued
support The campaign will be a f.
nancal success.

What Kind of Congressman Does
Idaho Want?

Editorial from The Daily Star Mir.
ror, Moscow, Idaho, August %, 1918
Some weeks ago the Republican
state convention endorsed the record
in congress of Burton l.. French and
recently Mr. French has been nomi-
mated as a candidate before the state
primaries to be held on September 3.
He has no opposition within the Re-
publican party.
The question is pertinent, "What
kind OF congressman does Idaho
want ~ There are two kinds of men
who often succeed in being reelected
TO office. The one kind is the man
who is student, who is Industrious,
who is desperately in earnest ond who
keeps on the job" Not great deal
is heard of this man from day to day
and yet in his quiet way he gets re-
suits and he leaves an indelible stamp
on the work that he does that brands
ii as well done. The other kind is the
blusterer and buffer, the man who ne
elects his work that he may exploit
himself and keep in the limelight.
He may believe he is doing and go
ing to do tremendous things but
when you look back over his record,
It is one of promises unfulfilled, it
is empty.
Mr.. French belongs distinctively to
the former type. He is agreeable
enough to be in close touch with his
colleagues and earnest and straight
forward enough to have their
confidence. A leading member of the
house said OF him not long ago that
the key to his standing and success
in the house is that members don't
need to check up on what he says.
Mr.. French has so earnestly sup
ported the country in the war crisis
that there should be no question as
to his reelection. He has upheld the
hands of the president from the first.
Contrary to every pronounced public
sentiment he stood firmly for the Sc
lective draft measure, making one
Of the ablest arguments in its favor
on the floor of congress. The people |
who condemned, approve his course |
today His fight for the elimination /
Of the Communication feature of the
war risk insurance bill eliminated in
success and is one of the distinctively
great achievements of the congress.
His activity in pushing the prohibition
and the suffrage amendments through
he house was of vital Importance.
On the latter fight he was one of
steering committee of four members
n the house who did the heavy work.
He is member of the Indian affairs
one of the eight appro-
)riating committees of the house.
His committee handled appropriations
lggregating upwards to $11 100000
Turing the present congress. The
areful work of the committee saved
he government more than 81 200, 900;
areless work would have cost the gov
'rnment as much.
After all, we are glad Mr.. French is
Tot buffer and blusterer. We
ire glad he does not play to the gall
cries. We are glad that he is the
Iuiet, earnest worker that he is and
We are glad that in these trying times
Ie is one of the men who sits at the
ouncil table
