American Legion's decision at Min

"muffed its mission" when the chartel
convention ruled that this organiza

and shall not be used for the dissem

A BUNCLED TOR

All eyes arc focused right now or
the problem Of insuring Caldwell Z
Just enumeration for the 1920 census
Reports indicate that the work is pro
crossing slowly. Indeed If news from
other neighboring towns is reliable
everywhere there is much dissatisfac
ton regarding the methods employed
and the results likely to be obtained
On the whole, it seems that the i'm
mensc job is without proper direction
Even il thoroughly capable individual
enumcrators have been selected every
where, there seems to be no definitely
directing head. as there should be, to
take charge Of the work. particularly
in every municipality OF Caldwelrs

In general, we doubt If people real.
ize the importance of this work now

Only once in 10 years does the op-
portunity come for enumeration Cald-
wells population during the next 10
years will be based from year to year
on the rate Of increase shown during
the past 10 wears. This town has
grown, everybody knows that it is
growing and will continue to do so.
But there is nothing more disadvan-
tageous than to face the prospect of
10 years advertising that not only
does the town little good but is act
ually an injustice.
Everywhere strenuous efforts are
being made to assist the enumerators.
Cities, commercial organizations and
even school children are being invoked
to aid those officially selected to take
the census. Unless some such action
is taken, one can readily believe that
this enumeration left to its normal,
unassisted processes. would find act
ually less people in Idaho than were
counted here 10 years ago. This may
seem preposterous but it is fact. or
course. no one is going to permit
such thing to happen. 1t is ND to
Caldwell people individually and col
llectively to see that it doesn't happen
here.

have been submitted to that BODY
Facing an annual deficit of $4,000, 900.
QUO. it is essential that the govern

tions as they stand but to an Tdahoan.
II seems rather remarkable that real
use can be made of the millions even
now being consigned to watery
grave.
No legislative body in the world has
the power to hand out millions from
the treasury as has the United States
house of representatives. Certainly
there is no organization so profligate
in the abuse of the privilege of mis-
using moneys, Departments have
been in habit of asking for far more

to his ears and Claire insists upon
stopping off at the village to see him.
BY the time the train reaches the vii

the Miracle Man.
The stage is well set. The Frog,
dragging himself on the ground
makes a great show and asks to be
shown to the healer. Just then a
little crippled boy, whose parents had
refused to consult the patriarch, vol
unteers to show the Frog the way. I,
looks to the gang as if the jig were up,
because the natural query of the
crowd is, why wasn't the child cure
by the healer? When the crowd
reaches the healer's the old man
comes out Of the house. and as per
plan the Frog unwinds himself and
stands up straight. healthy man. But
the power of the healer begins to
work and the little crippled boy drops
his crutches and rams, and Claire King
steps out of the rolling-chair and
walks The miracle creates pro-
found impression not only upon the
visitors but upon the crooks them
selves. Burke. who is posing as a
rich man, makes a show of giving
the healer a check for $4,000. This
starts the ball rolling and Claire Kings

Heart Appealing and Intensely Dramatic is the Story
OF the Remarkable New ParamomtArtcraft Picture
THE MIRACLE MAN"

Tom Burke, Rose. the Frog and the
Dope are gang of clever crooks who
make their living by Fleeing the un-
wary Summers. Tom Burke is head
of the gang and directs their nefar-
ious operations One day he picks
up a newspaper and reads that a heal
er has made his appearance in GER
tain small town and is credited with
marvellous cures. Burke conceives
the idea of capitalizing the healer;
that is, create a demand for his SER
vices and keep all the money for him
self and his pals,
Burke motors out to the little vii
lage where the healer lives and, for his
purpose, becomes ill., The villagers
advise him to consult the healer He
does so, and under one pretext or an
other establishes his residence there
He sends for his pals and instructs
them in their parts-Rose is to play
the part OF a sweet, unsophisticated
girl and pose as the healer's nearest
relative, which is possible because the
healer can neither hear nor see: the
Frog is to pose as cripple and per
NIT himself to be healed so as to
create talk, and the Dope is to assist
in drumming up trade"
The Frog, contorted into mis-
shapen being. attracts attention on
the train, and he announces loudly
that he is on his way to see the heal
er, regarding whose wonderful pow
ers he has heard thrilling reports. The
passengers scott at the idea, but the
Frog insists the healer is genuine.

are Richard King, a millionaire and

have been verbally accused Of disloy-

Probably the action of the house OF
representatives in denying Victor
Berger a seat after he has been con-
victed OF hampering the war program
of the United States and his sentence
of 20 years to the federal penitentiary
formed the basis for the action. But
it was hasty and i'll timed There is
nothing in common between denying

denying those against whom any

Of the verbal accusations made against
them, the courts are open for action.
A man is innocent until proven guilty.
Persecution is the poorest weapon
as any IuuINdI organization OF
radicals. Deportation of ring leaders
is splendid and all those who can be
convicted should be sent to the peni-
Tertiary if they happen to be citizens
OF this country. But to do them an
obvious injustice without due process
OF law is only an effective means of
adding fuel to the fire.
Further evidence that the American
Legion is adhering to a high standard
of citizenship is evidenced BY the mes
sage sent broadcast by the American
ization commission of the American
Legion relative to the New York
episode. That message is as follows:
We look with disfavor on every
effort to overthrow the right of rep

ted delegates of the people the right
to sit in bodies to which they have
been elected unless they have been
shown legally disqualified.

The only one of the gang who has

takes his gun and vows to find King

Annual Friends Mission
Meeting To Be Held May
20: Deficit Is Reported

Decision to hold the annual meeting
Of the foreign mission board Of the
Five Years Meeting on May 10. in the
South Eighth street Friends church,
and the financial report of the past
year, consumed most of the time at
the meeting Wednesday of the execu-
tive committee Of the board, in the
central offices of Friends here.
The $155,000 budget of the past year
was not obtained, the report stated,
$3.50, 900 having been the total. Deficit
was avoided, however, by carrying for
ward q considerable balance from the
year before aud by putting of until
next year some mission station plans.
Through the Forward Movement
financial campaign it Is hoped that a
budget sufficiently large may be OBJ
tanned for the coming year. The For
ward Movement foreign mission allot-
ment is $3.50, 900, one-fourth Of the
192021 subscription fund.
Although the date of the foreign
mission board annual meeting had
been previously set for May 10, it was
deemed advisable to set it forward one
day on account of the triangular con-
ference of the National Women's Mis-
sionary societies in Kansas City, from
May 20 to %, which several members
of the board will attend.
