HOME ATMOS.
PHERE

A writer in the American Maya
line for October, who is also waiter
and consequently q Judge Of human
nature, says:
The statlier the place, the better
people behave-just transfer the
crowd from the snowy restaurant tc
the elegant dining room, and the
crowd will adapt itself. They will
not talk as loudly; they are not in.
clined to haggle with one another
or with the. bill-of-fare. It's the
atmosphere Of the place which az
fects them. Most people live up to
their surroundings"
II anybody should doubt all this
let him try to be comfortable and
feel unconcerned in the lobby of the
Hotel Utah wearing a pair Of over
alls and cowboy boots. Tho free to
all who wish to enter you will never
see an elegant hotel lobby frequented
by shabby or loud folks.
And plain as this moulding effect
of surroundings would seem, yet we
fear that but very few home makers
take advantage Of it in raising their
broods. No need for finery, no call
for expense-but just the tasteful
home whose every token is mark Of
affection and idealism puts the per-
manent mark of breeding upon all
who get, their beginning there

PENALTZING
YOURSELF

There is piece of verse quite gen.
orally liked which has message like
this: 1T isn't your town, it's you!"
The complaints of too many are
like those of a weak-chinned pater-
families, who is always asserting that
things are not run right" in his own
home. This happens at the supper
table, usually after something has
gone wrong. Before the occurrence
it is much harder to think of this.
because then it would be the man s
duty to see that things were run
rightly.
For every degree of difference be-
tween town and what it ought to
be most of the residents are to blame
1t is their town to make better or
neglect.
For every dollars worth of goods
or service secured somewhere else
the town suffers. Sometimes it is
the fault of the merchants for not
foreseeing the public needs. Some
times it is the public's fault for not
knowing what they could get at the
home stores. 1t is somebody's fault
who lives in the town. You are not

WE DO 1T PUR.
POSEIY

An amusing incident occurred al
the high school when Prof. j. A.
Langton said that those who had
read of Governor Davis address as
written up in The Idaho Republican
had clearer conception of what the
governor meant than those who sat
in the audience and heard him.
We meant 1t to be SO. We always
try to have it so. When a speaker
faces an audience and talks on many
points, he is apt to fall short of his
intentions and of his ideas as he had
them in mind beforehand, and it is a
reporters business to tell 1t in
smoother, better language if he can,
and to leave out if he can the less
important remarks or statements,
and thus make the published account
more forceful than the speakers
statements of it. We did that with
Prof. Langton's address, as with the
Others, and it is only fair to speaker
and to the public.
When we publish an Interview we
usually improve on the persons
language and if possible strengthen
lis ideas, for we take it that only in

RACE WAR BREAKS
OUT IN ARKANSAS
Nine Killed in Clash Be-
tween the Whites
and Negroes
ALLEGED PL OF

Helena.-Two white men and seven
negroes are known to be dead at
Elaine, near here, as result Of
clashes Wednesday between a posse
searching for the persons who Tues
day night from ambush fired upon and
killed w. d. Adkins, railroad special
agent. A third man and q number Of
negroes are known to have been
wounded.
The trouble began with the discov-
cry Tuesday night Of an alleged negro
plot to rise against the white resi-
dents Of the southern part Of Phillips
county when Deputy Pratt, with Ad-
kins and a negro trusty, were am
pushed opposite a negro church at
Hoop Spur, two miles north of Elaine,
while on their way to arrest members
of the Glen family, who were said to
be involved in a row among them
selves.
1t Is said that negroes Of the vicin-
ity have been holding secret meetings
at night and that unidentified white
mon have been circulating literature
among them.
When the situation in Helena be-
came intense, leading negroes were
called to meet with white citizens, and
conditions were discussed frankly.
with expressions of mutual confidence
and pledges to sustain order in this
city.
Street fighting has been in progress
in Elaine, however, where there are
seven negroes for every three white
men.
An engineer of the Missouri Pacific
railroad, who arrived in Helena We'd
nesday night, said he pulled steel
gondola loaded with women and chill
dren out Of Elaine, and that his
train was fired upon by negroes from
trees along the track. The white pris-
oner was brought TO this city late at
night with group of fifteen negroes,
who were placed in the county Jail.
The white man is alleged to have
been the leader Of the negroes who
fought the sheriff's posse throughout
the day. The Jail is under strong
guard.

Steel Strike Continues

New York.-With both sides deter
mined to break the apparent deadlock,
the steel works strike is now in its
second week, with no settlement in
sight. "
ga Employees Of labor are marshalling
their forces for determined effort
to reopen many mills and to increase
the output Of those which wearhered
the initial walkout.
Directors of the strike on the other
hand, are making every effort to rally
more workers to their colers and to
effect virtual paralysis of the In
dustry.
Victory for the striking steel work
ers was predicted Sunday by Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation Of Labor.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
AND SUGAR BEETS

Last winter when the sugar
factory had finished Its campaign and
there was very little employment for
1aborer3, the Mexican laborers and
their families in the sugar beet dis
tricts of Idaho were in distress, for
many of them had spent their wages
as they received them during the
summer and fall, and were destitute
as soon as the pay stopped.
The sugar company foresaw this,
and had made it a part of the con-
tract that part of their pay should be
withheld at each pay day during the
summer, but somebody informed the
Mexicans that there was a state law
by which laborer could compel
prompt payment of every cent due
for work, and the Mexicans made de-
mands and got all of their money
and most of them promptly
squandered it.
When winter came on anu they
\ were cold and hungry the company
did not feel like fathering them, and
it was put up to the county commits
sioners who in turn put it up to the
state, and the state put it up to the
department of immigration, and the
department of immigration put it up
to Ex-Governor Mcconnell, who was
commissioner of immigration, and he
came here and made a careful in
vestigation. Then he reported to the
department and the department
reached conclusion and passed an
order back down the line to the sugar
company to provide food and shelter
for the Mexicans and to repay the
county what it had expended to keep
them from dying while the matter
was under consideration.
The sugar company, out of good
ness of heart and respect for the law,
acted the part of father to the suf-

FIRTH AND

The growth of western communit-

ace. Some will advance more
quickly than others. In this compe-
ition Firth is on it's toes and making
Roadway that promises fine record.
A commercial club is an associa-
ton of business men who combine
their powers to accomplish improve
ments for the whole community.
7irth's commercial club is such an
association. Most of it's work is left
committees that function. The
work is divided and performed. Re-
suits follow.
Firth is about to win $50,
high school building by bond cleo
ton. AS many as fifteen dwellings
are in course of building in the vii
age. Business houses to cost more
han $4,000 are under way and
tanned.

drug store, doctor and good meat
market. 1t has these now.

FUEL PROB
LENS

1t begins to appear that coal will
re short this winter. Strikes are
multiplying and demand is increas-
ing. Local dealers are already be-
lind of their actual orders.
AS in the matter Of water, some
lines forethought may help. To
save fuel when there is yet plenty is
as beneficial as to save water in the
spring when foods are on.
Stove dealers are offering stoves
and furnaces these days on the
strength of their fuel saving qualit-
les. In assisting the dealer to find
customers for articles that make
good and improve homes the news
paper is really an agency working for
higher standard of living.
Judging by that notorious winter
three years ago it would seem that
l stove that saved ton of coal in a
winter would be worth a right fancy
rice.-F. G. K.

New Orleans. June 9.--A strong ten dency to advance was assumed by cot ton as soon as the market opened today. rrmor having it that some of the leading traders on the short side last week had covered and were going long. Rains in the belt, prospects of more to come and the large exports were features that made for a general demand so that late ir the session prices were 200 points higher than the close of last week.
 The weather map indicated scattered showers over the belt while the forecast promised more rain in portions of the western belt and generally over the eastern belt. With the interior sending in reports of the crop being alarmingly in the grass because of the shortage of labor, the moisture added to the confu- sion on the short side and led to pre- dictions of bullish crop returns from the government for the week ending to- morrow.
 Total exports from all United States ports today were 37,529 bales against none this day last year, bringing exports thus far this week up to 64,69S against none for the corresponding period last year. At the same time the prospects are for large clearances in the near future, both New Orleans and Galveston having large quantities cotton already on ship board
 Should the expected rains materialize there wjn be no holding the market down. It acted short today and there is prob ably more covering to come.
 The close was at the top. Shepard & GIuck

New York, June s.-Cotton prices con- tinued to harden as the session pro- gressed with shorts trying to cover in competition with sold out longs. replac- ing their cotton as result of renewed apprehension about the crop due to the character of the advices received from the eastern and central belts. The for egn demand for the actual was said by local spot people to be improving and Japanese interests are credited with hav- ing bought contracts today on a rather large scale. There is also said to be a good deal of cotton being shipped out to neutral countries on consignment all of
 which tends to lessen the burden of carrying cotton here. Exports today were 19,000, with several points to hear from
 It looks as if more covering remains to
 be done ar we are inclined to think that
 much of the cotton for sale around 30 cents was absorbed on the previous ad : vance, so that bulges will meet with less opposition unless a new high level is reached. Fluctuations, however, are
 sure to be wide in either direction and traders will do we'll to act with caution
 and not overlook good profits whatever i their market connection may be. Post & Flagg.

 New Orleans, June 9.-Foreign news over Sunday was inconclusive Paris lays emphasis on the perfect harmony and concord among the allies as to pro- ceedings with treaty problems. Reply to German counter proposals is expected Thursday with short term ultimatum for decision. Meanwhile minor conflicts among the newly liberated smaller coun- tries in southeastern Europe and the ir timation from Germany of a fall Of the present government is the opposing news.
 Weather was again the main influence in the market and prompted expansion of the covering movement which was started Saturday Opening unchanged to 10 up on a strong buying demand de- veloped which carried prices about cent higher inside of half an hour, De- tcber trading up to 2S35, December to 2s. s.o3. After such fast advance demand slowed up and realizing caused 30 to 40 points reaction
 southeastern points in Texas of heavy rains. This started another buying move ment which carried October to 29.10 shortly after the noon hour.
 New York reported buying on rain re- norts. The market reacted from 29.1O to 2s. for October but advanced to the limit of 200 points in the last hour, De- tober trading to 23.4
 Near market prospects depend entirely an what course weather development may take If the rain disturbance should threaten to involve the entire belt there would be further bullish excitement, but if it should move northward out of the helt. market would be liable to react.
