Have a Heart, Professor

In one of our recent Western ex-
changes we notice that woman pro-
fessor says that THE movies are not
IN any sense form of amusement,
recreation or education, and that
folks follow the movie trail In much
the same way that a booze hound
used to follow the saloons. They
start in at one end of the row and
visit one after the other as long
as their money holds out; then go
home and get father to finance them
for another round, because, as the
honorable professor says, it is like
any form of intoxication, the movie
does not satisfy.
But we disagree with her on all
of the points. Intoxication, Ell? The
word has magic in it nowadays. The
fact that an intoxicant never salts
fies has not to our knowledge de-
tered even Its least ardent deyotees
III the past. There is no satisfaction
in satisfaction, anyway. Even old
Omar the tent-maker was wise to
that when he said, Heaven but the
vision of fulfilled desire" People
don't want to be satisfied this day
and age, but want to be tantilized.
Not educational? Evidently the
honorable madam professor and
Thomas A. are at odds on this point.
The wizard of the wizzlewazzle
juice has but recently delivered him.
self of the opinion that the text book
and the abacus must retire in fa-
vor of the skithering celluloid. The
movies, he says, are going to take
the shun out of education.
Not recreational? Tut, tut, Pro-
fessor. We know a man who wres-
ties with problems fit to split the
coco of an average thinker, and
when he gets begged down in the
slough of excogitation, he goes to
the movie show, and he lives where
the continuous puffawmance thrives,
and by the time the two-gun hero
has carpeted the landscape with
Mexican bandist, his mind Is func-
tioning like a twin six before To-
cal garage has laid hands on it. By
the time the hero and the beroin--
excuse plees- united in holy
wedlock, his mental machinery is
hitting like a Liberty motor, and
gleefully he hies him back to do
things to his hard boiled competi-
tors.
Recreational! Great HimmIel; it
has the late lamented j. Barleycorn
faded to a fozzle.

Education for Everyone

English people have been accns-
toned 10 regard education as a thing
which primarily benefits the person
who receives II. 1t has, therefore,
been considered that ii was the duty
of the parents of a child to see that
1t received a suitable education. If
they wished, and could afford it,
they gave 1t good one, thereby
procuring for 1t good chance in
life." If they were too poor or too
STUPID to do this, then so much the
worse for the child. But we have
come to see that there Is larger
aspect OF the question. 1t is also
SO much the worse for the nation
that a child should be left umadu-
Gated. 1t is to the advantage Of the
community as whole that educa-
tion should be as widely dispensed
and ais complete as possible, In the
days when education was matter
for the choice OF individual parents
the provision OF education was right
ly left to the charity of individual
members OF society. Luxuries In ed
ucation or education for social pres
tige still are SO left and quite right
ly. But as soon as the country be
gan to realize that the matter IN
the main was one of national i'm
portance, education at the cost OF the
state began to be provided and tt
be enforced on every child up to .
certain age.

CITY COUNCIL
CLOSE PARK ON
ALTURAS STREET.
Plans to Clean Up Sleeping
City, and Make It a Place
of Beauty Instead Of a
Place of Horror

Tuesday evening the city council
held its regular meeting. Owing TO
the absence of some members OF the
council and board, the important
business to come before the meeting
was held over until next Tuesday,
when a special meeting will be
called.
The matter of street lights came
up before the meeting, and it was
found that five lights In one part
of town and two in another had
been out during most Of the month.
THE council thought 1t advisable
to close the railroad park on Al
turas street, that has been used by
tourists, and they instructed the
street commissioner to nail up the
gate, shut off the water and put up
a sign directing all tourists TO the
City park, which has been provided
with accommodations for the trav-
elers, and is a better ad for the town
than the dusty railroad park on the
main street.
One of the most important items
of business was a discussion Of the
cemetery, which is an eyesore to the
public, and some arrangement should
be made in the way OF improve
ments, at least, to destroy the weeds
and make a pleasant-looking place
of the Sleeping City instead Of a
place OF horror that It Is. Discus
sions ON the subject were heard, but
nothing definite done; but it is to
be taken up at the special meeting
Tuesday 1t is UP to the citizens
who are interested in this move
ment to come to the council meet
ing and voice their opinions as to
an assessment for the maintenance
of the cemetery.
The fire department was repre-
SeuJeQ anu tue CIllel UOlu u SeVeIdl
places in town that needed the weeds
cleaned up and the buildings in
spector was instructed to notify the
people who have defective flues and
old buildings that are fire traps to
comply with the ordinances.
The question of taxes will be TAX
en- up at the special meeting.

Summer Picnics

Picnics are a good thing. They
are to the summer time what
Thanksgiving day is to the fall. They
bring us into the open spaces of
nature and free us from the cares,
worries and polite conventionalities
of an artificial world. picnics be-
speak a primitive stirring of the
blood, which sends us forth as it did
our ancestors when the land was
young, along the road that Gypsies
follow.
Of course, picnics have developed
until there are nearly as many va
rieties as there are makes of auto
mobiles. There Is the excursion that
includes the special picnic dinner,
set with silver and perforated paper
doilies, thernos bottles and folding
frying pans. 1t is the aristocrat of
picnics- There are special metal
containers for each kind of food.
ifhe bourgeois affair, on the other
hand, shows more of the home MAX
ing idea. Ordinary paper contain
ers hold the food article. The butter
goes into d jelly jar alongside the
salt cellar that has been in the fam
lily ever since the wedding. BY the
time the picnic grounds are reached,
the butter has crawled In alongside
the bananas, while it is not unusual
to detect the flavor of the salt cell
lar in the pickles, the chocolate cake
and the sliced meat.
Then there is the true vagabondia
picnic. You thrust some mathes in
to the old coat. or knapsack along
with some bread and bacon, a few
green onions and knife, and in is
minutes you are on the trail. True
nature lovers prefer this sort of a
summer day outing.
Picnics have become such an in
stitution in American life that even
business organizations find time to
lock their doors once a year and
cater to such sprees. 1t is a good
thing %They are grand affairs; pic
mics mean fun. They bring laughs,
they drive away sadness, they mark
dady's parole from the prison house
or artidcial manners and respecta-
bility.

Local Linguistic Battle


Local Linguistic Battle
The recent neighborhood quarrel
between two women over a business
transaction, the party of the first
part claiming that the party of the
second part did not have money COM
ing for wages as was stipulated, but
owed her (party Of the first paTt)
for goods alleged to have been taken
from the premises while she was in
charge, and for other minor offenses,
has not come to a finality. But the
party of the second part, who claims
to be such an efficient business wo-
man (as related by herself only)
deemed it wise and just that she be
paid, regardless of the missing ar
ticles, which were more than twice
the amount of wages demanded, and
regardless of the other offense
against said first party, and in de-
parting, after personal abuses, stated
that she would ''send collector TO
get it..
We hope to be ipardoned for enter
tanning an opinion in this connec-
tion, or for even passing Judgment
upon member of the fair sex, but
1t is our honest conclusion that
should this party, who truly should
wear a halo, succeeds in Iflim-flam-
ming any one into the job, I'VE are
convinced after being shown the
true state of affairs, will fold his
books and silently steal away.

of our local schools and a graduate
nurse At the outbreak of the war
she joined the navy as Red Cross
nurse, and was on duty at the naval
station at Mare Island.
This summer she went with some
other nurses for a vacation trip into
Alaska, and had an interesting ex-
perience. Some trouble went. wrong
with the engine, and the passengers
thought for some hours that the
steamer would sink. A'wireless call
was sent to Seattle for help, and the
life boats were all lowered, but the
trouble was finally repaired, and
they continued on. their trip with
out further annoyance. The new
governor of Alaska, Scott Bone, a
former newspaper man, was also a

visit with her relatives and friends
here and sister Lydia In Boise, be-
fore returning to her duties.
