A windfaII.

The origin OF "windfall." In the sense
OF good luck dates from the time of
william the Conqueror. 1t was then a
criminal offense TO cut timber In the
forests. Only such could be gathered
as the wind had blown down; hence,
heavy windstorm was hailed by the
peasants as so much good luck. and
from this comes the modern sppiica-
ton OF the expression.

LEAGUE MEMBERS ASK WHY
NORTH DAKOTA MEN SENT INTO
IDAHO

Nampa, Ida, July, LIST The row in
the camp of the Non partisan league
is still pending both in and out of
court. The farmer members who OBJ
jected to theSocialistic attitude of Sch
oltz and McKaig, heads of the organ
ization in Idaho, and to the anarchistic
utterances in their newspaper, the Of
fetal organ of the league, defending
Debs and mitigating the use of bombs,
also object to the importation from
North Dakota of Mr. Hall to run the.
leagues affairs. Several of them, rep
resenting quite body of farmers, have
signed a statement directed to the state
committee of the league as follows:
To the state committee of the Nom
partisan league of Idaho, Gentlemen
We, the undersigned members of the
Non partisan league, would like to
know:
First Why the state committee
holds no meetings. and seemingly
takes no interest in the welfare of the
organization?
Second Why, if this is. as we were
informed when we signed up with the
league, a democratic Organization
and if the league believes in the people
ruling, was it necessary to import
man from North Dakota to act as the
state manager without consulting the
members of the party?
Third DO you believe you are doing
your duty to your fellow members whea
you allow such high handed proceed
ingS, either with or without your con-
sent? Do you look upon the members
as merely dumb cattle that must go
wherever the leader says?
Fourth If you cannot act on this
board why not resign and let the peo-
pie select men who will take an inter

WHY THE CELEBRATION?
Egypt Has Big Demonstration on Re- ccipt of Word That Senate Gave Hearing to Delegates.

London, Sept. 3-Great enthusiastic demonstrations were held at Cairo and Alexandria on Saturday and Sun day in consequence of the receipt of a telegram declaring that the foreign relations committee of the United States senate had declared that Egypt should be independent, according to Cairo dispatch to the Daily Mail. It is said that Saide Pasha Zagloul, head of the Egyptian national deputa- ton in Paris, was the author of the telegram to Cairo.
 No action has been taken by the foreign relations committee of the senate regarding Egypt that would seem to warrant demonstrations in that country. The committee recent ly gave a hearing in which the claims of Egyptian nationalists were voiced but no further action has been taken by the committee.
