THE IDAHO REPUBLICAN

The very same merchants sell their
goods by telling people about them.
They know how to draw and hold the
interest Of customers. They are
statesmen, and an ad Is nothing more
nor less than o sales talk written
down. M -
F. It takes q command OF the prices,
qualities and demand of goods to
write advertising. Most merchants
have that command. To write an
ad is only to- sit down and write
out sales talk that is made dozen
or hundred times q day.
Where people get the sales talk
In the paper after supper they can
judge Of the goods and make up their
minds about buying while at leisure.
When they go to buy after studying
IN advertisement they do not have
to spend ten or twenty minutes get
ting the information from sales

No other man in American history
has exercised anything equal to the
personal influence over the people
that Theodore Roosevelt accom-
plished, and it was done by his ex-
ample moro than BY his utterances.
He made real many Of the American
expressions of ideals4 When one

he went west to Dakota and spent a
few years ranching. But they would
not let him hide In the oblivion Of
ordinary men. He was called back to
run against the Tammany nominee
for mayor Of New York, and defeated

Again he seemed buried. He made

Next he was called back to New
York to be president of the police
board. He cleaned up the corruption
Of the New York police department
and made many bitter enemies.
President Mckinley then summoned
him to Washington to be assistant

BOISE is NOT
JEALOUS

The absurd notion that the capital
of state is a competitor of other
cities in the state on the upgrade
of development has grown to such
proportions that the Boise CONNER
cial club has written a statement of
| its aims to Governor D. w. Davis.
The members have leard it said thru
out the state, they say that Boise,
Is jealous of the rise of other pros
porous communities.
1.-THE citizens of Boise" says the
letter, ARE generous, progressive
and ambitious. We believe that in
the maximum development of the re-
'lrces of this state lies the maxi
mum degree of prosperity and hap
mess for it's citizens; that no sue
cessful development can occur in
any part of the state, and this with
out regard to the particular resource
developed"
Such an attitude cannot be denied
credit, and it's sincerity should not
be questioned. There are small
ks in every community who are
taken for representative citizens by
mistake every now and again, and
commercial club such as Bosses,
with 700 members, seems the proper
agency to voice the community ideals
and principles.-F. G. X.

TEACHERS PRO-
FESSIONAL

Teachers in ancient Greece were
truly professional. They gathered
their pupils around them as musi-
clan must today, by personal attrac-
ton and by having something to
teach.
OF late centuries the teaching pro-
fession has had more of an amateur
ish nature. Teaching has been con-
sidered as work that any person
might do to fill in the time between
school days and life work, some
thing that required just so much
knowledge and little else. The
knowledge was measured by exam
nations.
BY means of awakening public
opinion and associations of educators
the work of teachers is being lifted
once more to that high plane of an
important profession, which is
more vital to nation than any other
profession. Education means health
to the body, equipment for life work
and good citizenship.
When teachers have graduated
into the truly professional class they
will spend their entire year in edu-
cational work, teaching part of the
year and improving themselves dur
ing the remainder of the twelve
months.-F. c. X.

When Wilbert Robinson, desperate
Iy in need of a seasoned first baseman,
plucked Honey from off the soapy
chutes that led to the minors, there

unearth first baseman who could ap-
proach the veteran Daubert.
Ask any fan today, however, what
he thinks of Honey and undoubtedly
he would tell you that the big Pole

One by one the great sluggers who
have blazed a trail of hits across the
baseball horizon for the last ten or
fifteen years are passing along.
Hitterss like Hans Wagner and Sam
Crawford, for instance, are few and
far between these days, but there are
still few of the veteran larrupers fac
ing major league pitchers today, and
one of the most picturesque of the lot
is Cactus" Cravath.
The "Old Cactus" has been playing
ball actively for sixteen years, and the
ravages OF time have long since begun
to show, for Cravath's legs today re-
fuse to carry him around the gardens
as they once did, and there are a few
sprinkles of silver on his temples.
Cravath 81 Years Old.
But although Cravath is thirty-seven
years of age-having celebrated his
thirty-seventh birthday last March-he
still ranks as a demon at the bat TAX
ing a toe hold and swinging from the
hip is just as natural to Cravath as it
ever was. And National League pitch
ers tell you that his eye has not been
dimmed to any extent by the suns of

MANY WOMEN HEAR
MRS. ASHER SPEAK
AT UNION SERVICE

Three successful meetings for
women were held yesterday aft
ernoon, one in each of the three
cities. by members Of the Sunday
party. Mrs. William Asher ad-
dressed the Rock Island meeting
at Broadway Presbyterian church,
the auditorium being filled with az
interested crowd. She took as her
theme living close to Christ, and
taking the passage OF scripture in
which the woman broke the ala
baster box and anointed the feet OF
Jesus as her text, drew from that
many lessons. She spoke of the
fact that Jesus did not rebuke the
woman for the act, and she added
that often peoples motives are
misjudged by the onlookers.
Preceding the service there was
a testimony meeting in which nu-
merous persons told of the benefit
that they are deriving from the
Sunday meetings. A short song
service was held with prayer and
Miss Notavena Steck and Mrs ].
r. Freeman sang a duet. Mrs.
Asher also sang a sacred number.
At the close OF the service Mrs
Asher asked that those who wish
ed to reconsecrate themselves to
Christ to come forward and a good
ly number responded to her inYi-
tatiOn.

to live with other people. how to
communicate with other people,
how to create something. how to
enjoy life, how to find ones best,
how to spill over into the life Of
the other fellow. how to live a hap
py home life and how to play.
