ADJUTANT BALDWIN TOLD OF
SALVATION ARMY ACTIVI-
TIES SUNDAY NIGHT

A very interesting and instructive
lecture was given Sunday evening at
the First Presbyterian church by Adj
juta1t Edward F. Baldwin of the Sal
walton Army, who is assisting in the
campaign in Latah county.
Mr.. Baldwin in his opening remarks
referred to our Creators service to
mankind and then he opened his lee
ture with an incident which happened
to General Booth, founder of this Sal
walton Army. He was once asked for
one word that would embrace all that
the Salvation Army stood for. He
thought for moment during which
time great many words came to
his mind. brothers, brotherhood, ETC.,
but knowing that the word brother
hood failed sometimes, and erasing
the letters .sb" and ''r" from the word
brothers he had others, which is the
basic principal of the Salvation Army.
Just a few instances to bring this
more clearly to your minds are these.
"A young girl who had saved up $500
of her own entered the Salvation
Army and stood on the street corners
in the snow and ice aiding the poor
and needy and all who would heed
her call, supplying the needs of the :,

Wnstrels as Popular as Good Circus

A good minstrel is like good
circus, it appeals to all classes. Tens
of thousands of people attend min
strel show who never think of attend
ing any other character of entertain
ment This is because they know
there is nothing to offend or en-
barrass them and they are at the
same time sure of a hearty laugh.
This season Harvey's Greater Min
strels uses its own scenery exclusive
ly, is has thirty-five people in the
first part, it boasts of the finest ward
robe ever worn by any minstrel or
ganization and claims to have the
best trained Creole Beauty Chorus on
the road

pert dancers, charming singers and
high class vaudeville and with Harveys

One Of the features of the vaude-
vile section of the program is the
work of Musical Kirk Among the
remarkable things he does while using
musical instruments Of his own make
and design is the trick of smoking,
singing and playing an instrument at
the same time. The stub of the cigar
is down in his throat out of sight
and the smoke pours forth from his
mouth as if from volcano, all the
time he is singing and playing a
banjo and dancing. In addition to
Kirk, who may be classed as the
musical comedian, the long list of

Strike Not Exnected

NEW YORK, Sept 1S,-Confidence
prevailed at the offices Of the United
States Steel corporation today that
the union workers would not be able
to muster enough recruits for the
walkout Monday to materially injure
production It Is believed the strik-
ers will number between ten and
twenty per cent of the organization 5
employees.
1t was pointed out that the great
est strength of the unions was in the
less important departments Of iron
production. Officials said there
would be few strikers among the
basic iron workers.
The walkout, they added, would be
confined largely to the foreign and
radical element among the employees,
and they expressed little concern at
the loss of these men, who will be
regarded as resigned" when they
fail to report Monday morning.

What Makes the People Tired.

New York Sun: Hon Elihu Root
said to the judicial section Of the
American Bar association:
"The real reason for criticism OF
the courts is not that the people
have lost faith in the courts and con
fidence in our judges. but that they
have come to where they want less
and less to be bound by law"
We do not believe, nor do we
think Mr.. Root believes, that the
people are weary Of the laws that
have been respected throughout the
centuries.
What makes the people tired is
the endless, footless mass Of statutes
most of them never needed, born only
to be forgotten or ignored.
The people are made tired by the
dull procession of commissions which
waste paper and ink and tho reports
of which fill dusty shelves, but nc
bellies or pockets.
The people are tired by, and Of
statesmen who invent substitutes for
human nature, for the Ten Com
mandments, for the common law and
for the law of supply and demand.
The principal offences OF today are
against the law of common sense.
They give the people an indescrib
able WEAKNESS.

Man Who Has Been Held for Shoot.

LOWREY ALSO Is HELD
CoIored Man Charged With Breaking
and Entering-Profiteer
Case Is lg-
nored.

Seven indictments were returned
by the grand jury which made its
report this afternoon in the district
court. An indictment was returned
against John Higham, charging him
with murder in the first degree.
Higham is in custody on the charge
of killing man named Hammond.
Robert Lowrey, also in custody, was
indicted on charge of breaking and
entering. He has been held for
breaking the glass in the Renaud
jeweiry store window. Other fndict-
ments returned are suppressed for
the present until those named in the
bills have been taken into custody.
OF the six cases ignored, one is
labelled an Investigation OF "proflteer-
ing and gambling" There was not
enough evidence to hold anyone in
this matter. Another ignored case is
that Of William Schneider and Ethel
l.. Schenk who were arrested on a
charge of adultery and had hearing
in a justice court month ago.
The grand jury's formal report to
the court is the following:
We have been in session three and
one half days; have examined forty
seven witnesses; have found seven in
dictments; have ignored six cases and
continued no cases.
We have inspected the Lee county
and city jails and find them to be in
as good condition as 1t Is possible to
keep them under the circumstances.
We have also visited the Lee County
Home and found everything in good
order, giving evidence Of capable and
efficient management. We recon-
mend that night Waterman be en-
ployed at the County Home.
They extend thanks to the court and
to the county officers for courteous
treatment given them.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-Presf
dent Wilson, in telegram made

against policemen unionizing with a
view to using PRESSURE to obtain
their demands.

presidents telegram today before a
senate committee which is considering
bill to withhold the pay of Washing
ton police who affiliate with the Amer

President Wilson said he wanted to
deal with the police in "the most just

against any association of police OF
any great city with view to bringing
''pressure' on the public that might
"endanger public peace or embarrass
