as his children thought, perioo
of insomnia and suffering. But he

SCHOOL NOTES.
(By VIM. A. Lustiel


Carpenters are busy putting
a floor in the gymnasium. AS
soon as it is completed, the boys
will turn out for regular basket
ball practice. We have some
good material and hope to show
our neighboring towns that the
Z. II. S. is still on the map. Mr..
Harmon will direct the team. A
girls basket ball team is being
organized with Miss Sully as
coach. Girls rules will be play

In the early days of the Re-
public, corporations had not
come into existance to any
great extent, income from in
dustrial earnings were small,
salaries were of small conse-
quence, inheritances were trans
mitted in the form of real estate
and personality, which seldom
included such items as stocks
and bonds. If you were going
to tax a man for the support of
the government, you had to lay
tax upon his property, for that
was all there was to tax"
The Public School is assuming
more and more of the response

but many parents are reluctant
to surrender to the School the
authority necessary to fulfil its
responsibility.

SUNLIGHT Not Good eermlolde.

Sunlight as a germlcide proves to be
less efficient and reliable-at least in
temperate reglons-than has been COM
monty supposed. In his experiments
in Algiers, NJ. de LarOquette has found
that only prolonged or direct expos
ure to sunlight destroys bacteria, and
that it's action is chiefly confined to
dry surfaces where the bacteria are
fully deslccated. Bacteria in liquids
are affected only by very intense light,
and this only at slight depth. White
light Is more effective than colored,
blue being slightly more powerful than
other colors. Bacteria are chiefly
killed by luminous rays and ultra-vio-
let rays have failed to show the bac-
terlcidal action so generally credited
them, the ultra-red also being inefti-
Client. At best, sunlight acts only at
the surface, while layers of fat or
muscle prevent even the slight ordi-
nary penetration.

FARMERS"

The Kamiah Progress of last
week had the following to say in
regard to the public sales that
have been held on the prairies
this year:
"The auction business in The
Progress (Kamiah) territory is
not very numerous this fall. We
read with envy the prairie pap
ers, each carrying a number of
auction ads every week and wish
sometimes that some of the bus1-
ness might float this way. But
our second thought is, that al
though we like all the work of
this class we can get, we are glad
in one way that the sales are
few-for auction sales invari-
ably are the result of discomfort
with a farmers present location
or the state of affairs in other
ways; he wants a change of
some sort and is pulling up to
leave for other fields"
While the above assertions
may prove true in some instan-
ces, most of the sales this year
on the prairie are due to farms
being sold for high prices and
not on account of any disconten-
ment on the part of the sellers.
There are mighty few men
who will not sell their personal
or real estate holdings if they
can procure their price. We
know of one particular instance
here where a very successful
young farm er was asked the
price of his land. He stated to
the writer that he did not want
to sell, but on being repeatedly
asked the price he held on his
quarter section he quoted the
price so high that he thought
there was a slight chance of sell
ing it. When he stated the
price he would take the deal was
closed in a very short time.
Others have quit farm
ing on account of land which
they had under lease being sold
while still others had to change
climate on account of some men,
Der of the family not being in
the best of health.
We are quite positive that
there are very few farmers, es-
pecially in this section of the
country leaving ON account of
diSeentenkment.

RIST, LEWISTON, IDAHO
A PLACE IN THE SUN.

Her "place in the sun" was all
that little Rosie Blair asked. But
Sir John Capel wished to deny
her even that. True, it was his
son who had betrayed the coun-
try girl, who knew less of evil
than did her city-bred sisters.
But that a scion of the proud
Capel family, superaristocrats,
should be obliged to give his
name to one who had loved not
wisely but too we'll was demand
ing far too much. The fault
lay entirely with Stuart Capel,
and admittedly restitution
should be made, but a goodly
sum of money he thought would
amply suffice.
Then why did the arrogant
old gentleman suddenly change
his mind less than twenty-four
hours later? Was it because he
saw the injustice of his conten-
ton? Or was it because per-
sonal suffering penetrated
through his coldly logical mind
until it reached his heart?
"a Place in the Sum-" will be
shown at the Orpheum Theatre

.BERKMAN AND GOLDMAN
REGARDED AS Menace
Lieut.. Sveshniko6 Regrets the
q, S. Would 1nfict "Undesir-
ables" on Russia.

It is a mistake for the United States
I to infiict on Russia Emma Goldman
and Alexander Berkman, according to
| Lieut.. Woldemar Sveshnikon OF the
Russian field artillery. and former tech
meal expert of the Russian high military
commission to the United States.
Lieut. Sveshnikoff. who fought during
| 1914 and 1915 against the Germans. ana
escaped last year from the bolsheviki.
said last night that Goldman and Berk-
man would be Gin their element" In Rus
STA. They would, he said, have Just the
opportunity they desire to inf1ame the
minds Of the Russian people against the
| United States, and disseminate their
anti-American propaganda.
Adds OIL to Flame.
docs the federal court think that the
persons undesirable and DANGEROUS to
the peace of the country will be deslr-
able in Russia?" asked Lieut.. Sveshni-
koff. "Or that the conditions in Russia
are so bad that they cannot be MADE
worse? This action is adding oil to the
flame. Goldman and Berkman and 9TH
ers are not Russian by religion or name.
neither by nationality. Their idea OF
socialism will never be approved by the
Russian people.
"As you have seen in the cable dis
patches from London, December 9.
Lenin is trying to force on the peas
ants his socialistic ideas. 1t may be
possible to enforce it in q reign of
terror, but it never will be lasting. In
Russia there is no possibility Of the
success Of socialism.
Expect Help From Q. 8.
Those friendly to the United States
anti-bolshevik army have been ex-
pecting from America help, such as
foodstuffs and ammunition, to carry
on their fight against the enemy-not
more enemies.
THE United States is, of course, in
terested in restoring order in Russia,
and sending new anarchists there
would not help. There are probably
better ways of disposing of such per-
sons, such as isolating them on is
lands in the middle Of the ocean. And
Russia would like to return her I'M
desirables. such as Trotsky and his
associates, back to New York. whence
they came"

Plunkett, who was chairman of the
Dublin convention, contributes to the
Irish Statesman "a message from Ire
land to America" in which he says:
I'VE are promised in a few days an
announcement of a bill to provide
self-government for Ireland. The
Irish people have had no part in franz
ing the government they are to work.
They have not the faintest notion of
what it is going to be. One minister
in the secret has publicly disclosed
that they would denounce it when it's
terms are known.
I'VE may therefore confidently as
sert that this at the best is merely
marking time, and at the worst is q
device of political opportunism in
lieu Of statesmanship."

st. Johns, N. F., April 12.-Major
Morgan, the British aviator who ar
rived here on board the steamer
Sachem from Liverpool, was today
speeding plans for flight across the
Atlantic in the Martinsyde plane which
he brought over with him. Morgan
hopes to make his start before the
larger Sopwith plane, with which
Harry Hawker plans to make the
flight, can again take the air
Major Morgan's theory is that his
smaller plane with it's narrower wing
srread will not require the same calm
weather necessary for Ha awker Hawk
er was prepared to make the flight yes
terday afternoon, but was prevented by
a stiff northwest wind and light snow
showers.
Keen interest was manifested to-
day in the contest to be the first TO
cross the Atlantic in an airplane
Until Morgan's arrival, Hawker and
Lieutenant Commander Grieve, his
navigator, had a clear field. But
Morgan's appearance and his appar-
ent readiness quickened the sporting
blood of all concerned. Morgan's pilot
