Borah Throws Light on His Wet
Vote.

Boise. Idaho, Nov. 15.-Under
attack because Of the manner in
which he supported the president
Of the United States in the veto
of the national prohibition act,
United States Senator w. E. Bor-
ah has, in a letter to S. P. Ather-
ton, of Twin Falls, made clear
why he took the stand he did and
his views on the action of congress
in continuing the wartime meas
ure known as the bone-dry law.
He holds that the law ceased to be
a wartime emergency and that 1t
"fell" when the real war was
over.
Because of Senator Borah s
vote in the senate against the pas
sage of the bill over the veto OF
the president, the state w. G. L
u. of Idaho, which was then IN
session in Boise, passed the fol.
lowing resolution Of rebuke:
Resolved that we extend tc
congress our appreciation Of their
action in regard to their loyal
stand for prohibitory Law enforce
ment, and also rebuke the senior
Idaho senator for his betrayal OF
his constituency.

This One a Surprise.

News Of the marriage Of John
w. Jorgens and Mrs. Rowena
Lang was first brought to their
friends here though the announce
ment of the issuance of marriage
license to them at Spokane in
yesterdays Spokesman-Review.
They had quietly betook them
selves to that city and were mar
ried Tuesday afternoon, quietly,
in the presence Of only the neces-
sary witnesses.
While recent symptoms had IN
dicated that such a step on the
part Of this twain was not I'M
probable, none of their friends
here had been appraised Of their
plans, and the news came as a
surprise to all.
The bride is the widow Of the
late VIM. Lang, and they were
engaged for several years IN
farming on their place southwest
of this city, until the influenza
epidemic of last year claimed him
as a victim. She has since made
her home in this city a greater
part Of the time.
The groom is well known live
stock dealer, and while he makes
his headquarters in Spokane,
much of his buying is done III this
community, where he formerly
resided with his brother, Ivan
Jorgens.
All wish them good luck in their
new estate.

/ perez has proven in every way I
be one of the best Chautauqu
towns in the banner Chautauqu,
state of the Union, the followin,
pithy article by Ray Andrews, il
the "Ellison1White Weekly New
Letter" of Nov. Is, will be very
interesting to our readers.
Zone doesn't need to journey
| far afield to make discoveries. Not
always, at least. Yesterday
made one close at home, on maps
that we of the office have almost
worn out from handling. Perhaps
lots of others have made the same
discovery, but / am going t.. jumu
in and record mine firse end
thereby claim the honor.
"Said discovery then is that
Idaho is the foremost state in tho
Union from Chautauqua stard-
point, population considered,
Iowa has long claimed the distinc-
ton, but the cold hard figures VIII
give the palm to Idaho and not
leave Iowa with tent pole u
lean up against in support of her
contention.
Consider Idaho! With a pop
ulation Of approximately 400, 1000,
she has about 80 Chautauquas. OF
this number rs are served by Eli
SON. White, about fifteen by COM
petitive bureau. This means one
Chautauqua for every $500 peo-
pie, an average not even ap-
preached by. Iowa, or the often
quoted Chautauqua states Of Kan
sas and Nebraska. Bringing the
statistics down to the number of
Chuatauquas in comparison tn the
number Of towns, the claim be-
comes even more convincing. Ida
no has 81 towns and cities Of over
1000. OF this number 10 have
Chautauquas. There are So towns
between 500 and 1000 and in this
class SO have assemblies. This
leaves balance of about 18 Chau-
tauquas which are being operated
in towns with less than 500 peo-
pie. All this in six short years,
while Iowa has been building up
its Chautauquas for quarter Of
q century.
"Along with these claims for
Idaho, we want to add another,
that probably a greater proper
ton of her Chautauquas are sue
cessful than that Of any other
commonwealth. There are few
poor assemblies in the entire Gem
State. Talent folks too are al
ways enthusiastic about Idaho au-
diences. They are alert, respon-
sive, enthusiastic.
II believe the reason back of
these good audiences, successful
assemblies and large number of
Chautauquas in proportion to
towns and population is not hard
to find. It is chiefly because Ida
ho is one of the most American
states in America. Except in the
districts of the north, the
state has few foreign colonies. 1t
is peopled by clean-living,
Americans. They have recogniz-
ed in the Chautauqua an institu-
ton fulfilling their entertainment
requirements and answering an
educational need in their COM
munities and they have adopted
it more completely than any other
state. -

Many little inventions are continu
ally being made. which, though per-
haps not vital to the wowk, facilitate
methods greatly. For example, a blue
print holder has been made and others
are being worked upon. Instead OF
the boys having the blue print on the
bench beside them and bending over
whenever reference to it is necessary,
the holder shows It to them at a
glance directly before them, with the
light full upon it, and no need Of
cropping about or STOPPING over to read
it.
The fourth department is the chem
istry department, in charge Of J.. Tat
ton. The chemistry course is one Of
the greatest essentials in his school
because of the great demand for lab
oratory assistants in this vicinity. That
is the work of his department-to
urn out first class laboratory assis-
tants. A boy getting his diploma from
this school has no difficulty obtaining
q position as an assistant anywhere
in this city, and although III school
does not claim to turn out finished
chemists, a boy who has taken the
chemistry course there, has every
rudiment for developing into a first
class chemist upon more concentrated
study.
CA NeuleSUdy anu ITAudy uiSHts
there are classes from the r. g. H.
Chemical Company who, though they
know the practical side of the work
come to Mr.. Tatton's class for the
theoretical end Of chemistry.
The boys have a six hour day, a
short part of which is allotted to the
physical training of the boy, the re-
mainder to the practical work. A
worthy aspect of the institution is the
extreme interest the boys take in their
work and the absence of disorder OF
any kind. Unconsciously, the boys, in
their interest in the work, have nc
time for play, despite the fact thai
strict discipline is never enforced.
