Chief Justice Talft of the United
States supreme court, in an address
Thursday, said that in his opinion
the country had all the lawyers it
needs, and advocated requiring law
student to complete a full college
course before admitting him to the
bar. 1t does seem likely that the
country would get along about as we'll
if the people would make an effort
to deal with each other in such way
that the demand for the services of an
attorney, along some lines, might be
reduced.

Parents whose children are attend
ing the University of Idaho may rest
assured that every precaution is be-
ing used by the university authorities
to prevent an epidemic of the lagrippe
and that students, when taken sick,
are given the very best of care. So
far, both in the city and at the uni
versity, the cases have been mild, and
less numerous than in many sur
rounding communities.

The days when Ballinger, as secre-
tary of the interior, tried to turn over
the resources of Alaska to the Gug-

factors are recalled by the efforts of
Secretary Fall to cop the forest SER
vice and destroy its usefulness. If
we remember rightly Ballinger step

BACK THE UNIVERSITY AND AN
UNDIVIDED STATE.
Peter G. Johnson, of Blackfoot,
speaker of the house of representa-
tives and one of the most prominent
and influential citizens of the south
ern part of the state, was in Moscow
last week. Upon invitation of Presi-
dent Upham, Mr.. Johnson addressed
the students of the state university
and was subsequently the chief speak
er at meeting of the Moscow cham
Der of commerce He is one of those
interesting self-made and successful
men who was denied the opportunity
for education, but who in spite of this
handicap has grown wise in the school
of experience, achieved success in
business and prestige in the political
affairs of the state. Men of the type
of Mr.. Johnson know better than any |
one else the great value of education
both from the standpoint Of the indi-
vidual and of the state, and the talk
he gave the students was broad,
wholesome and inspiring, emphasiz-
ing loyalty to the university and to
the state In the course Of his address
to the students, Mr.. Johnson said.
."Back home preach the doctrine OF
the University of Idaho and the state
of Idaho. Build up this great insti-
tuition. There can be no more excel
lent place, no more excellent COM
munity where a university could be
than right here. There
are obstacles to overcome but you will ,
solve the geographical problems of /
his state Make this state into a )
commonwealth of happy

yencc. May you be successful, keep I
straight, | it the ball hard, work hard !

1t was evident in Mr.. Johnson's ad- Y
Iress to the students, and even more d

by with the proposal to create new G
tate out of the northern part of h
daho and eastern Washington. In its 9
eport of the latter address the Mos -
ow Star-Mirror says: N
Mr.. Johnson spoke of the excellent d
which Moscow, with its
hurches, afford and said that these /,
1ere things which the parents Of Y
respective students must always 7
now would be found in. the commun- >
y which is the home of the state
niversity. Distance, he said, was the
My handicap and this can be ever "
