ONE STEP TOWARD ARMAMENT SANITY

The Borah rider to the naval appropriations
bill, which the senate adopted unanimously,
authorizes and requests the President to call
a conference Of the leading navy powers to
discuss the question of the Limitation OF naval
ornaments.
There seems to be little doubt that the House
will adopt the rider with slight IL any modif-
cations.
1t will then be up to President Harding to act
upon the authorization and request or not,
as he sees At.
He will not be bound to act for. under the con-
s~titution the President and not congress is
charged with the duty and responsibility of
initiating all activities of the government which
have to do with foreign relations.
But it is hardly conceivable that the Presi-
dent will not be very greatly Influenced by such
n unanimous expression of congressional opin-
ions.
Especially is this so, in view Of the fact that
the congressional action is undoubtedly a true
reflection of the sentiment of the country.
While 1t is easy to be over-enthusiastic as to
the probability Of quick results from the cru
SADIE to substitute sanity for insanity In the
armament competition, one must be hopelessly
pessimistic who does not view the senate vote
as an incident of great significance and preg-
nant with vast possibilities.

IDAHO pep BAND
TO BOISE GAME
YELL KING TURNER TO ORGANIZE
HIGH SCHOOLS INTO ROOT
ING SECTIONS.

| Southern Idaho high school stu
dents, from whom the university stu
dents expect goodly amount of root
ling at the Idaho-Wyoming Armistice
Day classic at Boise, will soon play
host to Yell King Ted Turner of Cald-
well and his court, namely the Varsity
Pep band Ted Turner, who leads
Idaho's rooters, will leave for south
Idaho with kit full of real Idaho
college yells and songs, which he will
teach to the high school student body
organizations in the towns visited by
the university party.
Last year. the Pep band was a real
innovation at the big football classic
and this year, augmented by several
more pieces the organization promises
to outdistance previous regulations.
Lynn Hersey of Lenore is director of
this years Pep band.
Turner, who is serving his second
year as rooter king, visited high
schools last year, teaching them Idaho
songs and yells and the effect was so
satisfactory that it was decided to re-
peat this. year, but on a much larger
scale Turner will appear before each
school in his official roofing regalia,
bearing the insignia OF his rank, and
his antics will be identical with those
executed while leading thousands of
frantic Idaho rooters crowded into
bleachers on the side of MacLean
field in Moscow, the home grounds of
Coach Kelley's silver and gold war
riors.
Special attention will be given to
coaching students in the vicinity of
Boise SO they may be organized into
roofing sections for the big game.
Yell King Turner will preside over
these sections, assisted by rooter
leaders selected from the various high
schools The university party plans
to leave shortly after the Idaho-Mon-
tana game Saturday.

COMMIT Wild MAN
TO STATE ASYLUM
aWILD MAN OF WOODS ADJUDG-
ED INSANE AT HEARING
TAKEN TO OROFINO

Bert Johnson, better known as the
wild man of the woods" and whose
real identity is unknown, was com
mitted to the Northern Idaho Sanital :
ium by Judge Adrian Nelson in pro-
bate court Tuesday afternoon. Judge
Nelson conducted an examination in
to the mans sanity and found him in
sane after an examination had been
made by DR.. John W. Stevenson
county physician.
The man who gave his name as
Bert Johnson, was arrested a week
ago by Sheriff John L. Woody and
Charles Summerfield, deputy sheriff,
at Randall Flats. At the time Of his
arrest he was heavily armed with an
old style Winchester rifle of a pow
erful calibre. He wore three tattered
shirts, one over the other, and two
pair of oyeralls, both of which were
in rags. F'or@ socks he wore gunny-
sacks, encased in white rubber boots.
For two weeks previous to his arrest
he had been hiding out i'll the woods
and had appeared only occasionally
to ask for food at farmhouses. No
one was harmed by the man but wo-
men and children were several times
frightened by him.
Latah county authorities have been
holding him in the county Jail on the
suspicion that he is a fugitive from
justice. No Information has been
CLEANED from the man himself and as
no word has been received from
authorities of other states the insaE-
ity investigation vas held and the
man adjudged insane. A travelling
guard from the Orofino institution is
expected Wednesday to take the man
to the sanitarium.
