IDAHO LEGISLATURE
FAvORS SUFFRAGE
MEMORIAL APPROVED BY THE
HOUSE TAKES RAP At ACTION
OF SENATOR BoRAH.
Twelve Members Vote Against the
Resolution Because, They Declared,
1t Had Been Most unfor-
tunateIy Worded.

Boise.-over the protest of twelve
members, the house of representatives
on January 20 passed a memorial to
congress which, In effect, strikes at
those senators who have stood out
against passage of the Susan B. An
thony suffrage amendment, including
Senator Borah of Idaho. The memorial
asks these senators to vote for suf-
frage. The vote stood so to -, the
opposition holding they were In favor
OF woman suffrage, but claimed the
memorial to be most unfortunately
worded.
In championing the measure, Repre-
sentative Carrie Harper said she had
not intended to mention the name of
Senator Borah.
THE women of Idaho" she said, "are
very sorry that Senator Borah has
voted against suffrage. We are con-
tinuaIly asked by the national suffrage
organization, What is the matter with
the women of Idaho? Their senator
has turned them down.
1--WE feel justified in asking for
woman suffrage. Senator Borah was
sent to the senate to represent u.s."
While the house committee on
county lines and boundaries was rec
ommending passage of the Clark and
Caribou county division bill, the senate
passed the Clark county measure by
almost unanimous vote.
Both houses were presented with
copies of resolutions passed by. the
Idaho State federation Of Labor at.
lacking the Utah Power & Light COM
pany, which is seeking to gain control
of Bear lake so that power can be
generated in Utah, when, 1t is al

in the lake for irrigation purposes in

What Doctor Pierce Has
DOns for Humanity
BY DOCTOR GRIPS.

Il has always seemed - me that DR..
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, should be placed
near the top when list of Americas
great benefactors is written. He studied
and conquered human diseases to 8 de-
gree that few realize. Whenever he found
a remedy that overcama disease, he at
once announced it in the newspapers and
told where it could be bought al a small
price. He did not follow the usual custom
OF keeping the ingredients secret. 90 that
the rich only could afford to buy the
medicine, but openly printed the name of
each root and herb he used. And so today
the names of Or. Pierce and his medicines
are widely known, and they stand for bet

DRAW POISON THROUGH SKIN
Baltimore Physician Believes He Has
an Effective Cure for Rheuma-
tIsm In New Idea.

DIR. Fred Pridham Of Johns Hopkins
hospital in Baltimore has devised a
treatment for joint affections, such as
rheumatism, that is being used very
successfully at the military hospitals
where it has been introduced. He
uses a mineral, double nitro-peroxide,
which actually extracts the inflamma-
ton.
The salt is mixed with a starchy
substance which holds its action until
1t is placed on the skin over the dis
eased bone, from which 1t extracts the
impurities. the germs and their poi
sons
The material Is sprinkled on lint
or gauze and placed on the skin over
the diseased bone. When the doctor
removes the dressings. from six to
twelve hours later, there will be seen
bllsters on the skin. II there is no
infection the salt will not affect the
skin.

NOW IN SESSION
PREMIER cLEMENcEAU Is MADE
PERMANENT CHAIRMAN

President Wilson, President Poineare
and David Lloyd George Declare
Determination Of Nations to Come
to an. AmieabIe Understanding.

Parls.-The peace congress was for
mally opened on January Is in the
great Sale de la Paix. The congress

ceedings, which were confined to the

French premier, as permanent chair
man of the conference, an address of
welcome by the president Of the
French republic, Raymond Poincare,
and speeches by President Wilson, Pre-
mier Lloyd George and Baron Sonnino,

lasting friendship and the apparent
determination of the representatives of
the various nations to come to an am
icable understanding with respect to
the problems to be decided by the con-
ference.
When President Poincare spoke, the
entire assemble stood, and the fact
that, according to custom, no applause
greeted his utterance gave. greater sol
emnity to the scene.
cIemenceau Accepts Craftsmanship.
M. Clemenceau's acceptance of the
presidency of the congress was both
a feeling expression Of personal graft
tude and definite outline of the great
questions Immediately ahead. Three
Of these larger general subjects he de-
fined as responsibility for the war, re
sponsibiIity for crimes during the war,
and International labor legislation. The
league of nations, he declared, was at
the head of the program for the next
full session.
Referring to the authors of the war,
he said he had consulted two eminent
jurists on the penal responsibility of
the former German emperor, and each
delegate would receive a copy of that
report.
In all, seyenty-two seats were pro-
vided for the opening session Of the
peace conference. On the outer side
of the great horseshoe were arranged
the Japanese, the British and colonial
delegates and the seat of the fifth
British delegate. A chair for the fifth
American delegate also was reserved
Immediately to the right of the table
of honor.
Many Nations Seated.
The italian, Belgian, Brazilian, Gu
ban, Haitian, Peruvian, Portuguese,

guayan delegates sat in the order
named. Across at the left wing of the
table sat the Siamese. Rumanian, Pc
lish, Liberian, Hedjaz, Guatemalan.
Ecuadorean, Chinese and Bolivian dele
cations.
AS the delegations arrived they were
met by fanfares of trumpets and ac-
corded military honors by the troops.
President Wilson's arrival was the
signal for a demonstration from the
crowds. The president passed into the
antechamber, where NJ. Pichon, the
Preach foreign minister. awaited, and
conducted him to the council room.
President Wilson proposed Mr.. Glenn.
enceau for chairman of the peace con.
gress, being warmly seconded by Pre-
mier Lloyd George of England.

Boise.-Idaho is on the verge of
adopting an entirely new form Of state
government, parallel in many respects
TO that of the state of Illinois. The
state is face TO face with a radical

full of leaks which, ever since the state
was admitted into the Union, have re-
suited in the loss of hundreds of thogs-
ands Of dollars.
IL the present legislature takes
favorable view of this program, in the
next two years at least, the manage
