The pastor will preach at the morn
ing service on "The Church's Order
to Advance" Every member of the
church in the city is urged to be pres.
ent. In the evening there will be q
discussion of "Home Life" And we
would like to have an increaser con,
gregation at that service. Too many
church members are playing hockey
from the evening service. 1t is toe
much to expect a preacher to do his
best when confronted with an array
o fempty benches.
Some people are finding out now
that it does not pay to be nominal
Christian. The time has come fol
more than one in this town when a
man wants the recommendation of his
pastor. If he has not been faithful to
his church duties how does the min
lister know he will be faithful to other
duties? Better do your duty and
there will be no trouble about it.

trate of about 95 per cent purity

tailings of which, upon assay, have
been shown to be as low as a mere

therefore easily capable of making an

costs only a trifle over and above the
charges for crushing, and is applicable
to any degree of fineness of flake The

successful extraction of

Peculiar as it may seem, it is a fact
that the Liberty bond sales in the state
OF Wyoming We're increased by the
sum of $1,lO0,O00 directly because of
the fact that the state and the fed
eral government are disputng title
to Oil land. What is more it Is eX-
pected that before the suit is finally
settled the amount so invested in Lii
berty bonds will have reached the
enormous total of 100000.
1t came about this way: Prior to
1904, two S0-acre tracts, then classed
as purely agricultural land now in
the center Of the producing area of
the Grass creek oil field, were held by
the government. About the same time
a tract Of 100 acres in which title was
vested in the state was included in
"a forest reserve and under a lieu
agreement the state relinquished the
forest reserve tract and selected the
two S0-acres, legally known as the
north half of the northeast quarter
and the north half of the southeast
quarter of section 19-16-9S. The de-
rartment of the interior accepted title
to the states 100 acres in the forest

WHY BORAH IS OPPOSED
TO NATIONAL SUFFRAGE
SLNATOR REFUSES TO CHANGE
HIS VOTE AS A MATTER OF
POLITICAL ExPEDlENCY.

Senator Borah has once and for all.
finally and definitely" announced that
he will not vote for the submission OF
the woman's suffrage amendment to
the states. In letter to S. d. Taylor
chairman of the republican state CEN
trail committee. the senior senator
from Idaho says very plainly that he
will not surrender his convictions as
"a matter of political eXpediency, He
says:
Il have been an advocate of woman
suffrage for rs years and have spoken
for it in nearly every state of the
union where the issue has been up.
in no sense have changed my views
with reference to the expediency, the
justice and the wisdom of woman suf-
Ifrage. / am still an advocate of the
principle and shall continue to be so
long as I have anything to do with
public affairs until the question is fin
ally settled in this country. But
Rave also during all of this period, as
Sou hilOW, UeeIl Ill earliest anu open
advocate of the principle that this is
question which should be settled by
and through the action of the respect
! i've states. The question involves to
my mind vital principle of govern
ment. 1t is not alone the question
! that women should have the right to
vote, because in that | believe, but
cannot reach the conclusion that
the right to determine who shall vote
should be taken away from the states.
1t involves, to my mind, one of the
most serious problems which can be
presented. 1t is a question of chang
ing our whole framework of govern
ment because after the states have
been robbed of their right to pass up
Oil the question Of franchise there is
no longer any state. 1t is simply a
geographical expression. And you
cannot have a great federal union
without great and powerful common
wealths upon which the union may
rest
| u flfm IOnviCtiOn.
This has been my view during all
these years, not only of suffrage but
upon all matters wherein this principle
has been involved. I have made 1t
known to the women of the nation and
to the women of my state over and
over again. They know that it repre-
sents with me a conviction touching
the framework of government. Now,
the question which is put up to me Is,
shall surrender that conviction and
yield my view out of party or political
expediency. If do so, you know and
every man. woman and child in Idaho
will know that / am changing my vote
not because / have changed my mind,
but out of sheer political cowardice.

Urges
PROTECTING COTTON
FROM BAD WEATHER

one Of the most common subjects Of
reproach to the South is that it allows
unnecessary damage to be done TO a
large part Of its cotton after it is baled
and prepared for the market. There is
much basis for the criticism, as the
average man does not take the proper
protective measures and thus brings
a direct loss to himself, .
The Southern Products company, OF
Dallas, Texas, one of the largest hand
lers Of cotton In the South, has receht-
IN issued a circular letter to the trade
In Texas and oklahoma calling atten-
lion TO the situation, which this sea-
son is worse than usua because OF the
large amount OF cotton held on the
farms. The subject matter is so apro.
pos to other sections that II is printed
herewith. and merits a careful reading
by every man who is holding cotton
outside regular warehouses
The circular says:
Owing TO the lack of space in ships
and general restrictions on exports 70

cradle portion of the cotton crop Is
