Radio by Phonograph.

Idaho Falls EIks who had worked
for several hours Tuesday night to
tune up" a new radio phone without
success were startled when the instru-
ments suddenly broke out with the
words Of lecture on temperance, de-
Iiyered BY a female orator. Games
were forgotten while members floeked
around the instrument, still holding
their hands of pinochle or their bill
lizard cues, anxious to hear the new in
vention. A short time later it was
discovered that one of the members
had "hooked up" phonograph with
the horn of the -radiophone.

All the teams in the league take off
their hats to Umpire Jack Irving.
There is never suspicion of favorit-
ism in his decisions no matter how the
battle goes, and his rulings are prompt
and according to Hoyle. There is
nothing more disgusting or demoraliz-
ing to good baseball than for an UNI
pire to allow his prejudices to color
his decisions There is no honor in
winning a game through the dis
honesty of the umpire. Better defeat
with honor than victory by question
able decisions.

And speaking of umpires, the pres
ent system is wrong and creates dis
satisfaction. The Weiser game was
proof of that statement We know it
is poor sportmanship to blame the
umpire for defeat, but the partiaiity
of the Weiser umpire was so appar-
ent that even Weiser fans criticised
him. The only remedy is to bar home
officials from umpiring home games.

BANK DEPOSIT BOXES
RECOVERED IN CANAL

SPICELAND, Ind, Sept. 26.-The
last of the saftey deposit boxes and
the bonds contained in them, which
were stolen from the Spiceland bank
in 1919, were reposing in the Spice
land bank today after having been
recovered from the Meridian street
canal in indianapolis.
The bank officials were notified of
the drainage of the canal, and Charles
Haskell, cashier, visited the scene to
receive the boxes.
Boxes and contents we're in good
condition, but only $3.50 worth OF
bonds were recovered. Bonds amount
ing to $4,000 were in a box pulled
out by a fisherman year ago.
Some of the bonds obtained in the
robbery and in another in February,
1920, when $4,000 loot was taken,
were sold in Oklahoma, leading to the
arrest of two leaders of the gang who
are now serving sentences in Leaven-
worth.

HEAVY RAIN FALLS
IN CHINA TWO HOURS
AFTER PRAYER SAID
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-Ten thousand
Christian Chinese troops and thous-
ands of other Chinese, both Christian
and non-Christian, gathered in Honan
province in a monster open-air prayer
meeting for rain, according to repre-
sentatives of the Methodist Episcopal
church working in China
Continued droughts during the
spring and early summer in Honan
province aroused fears among the Chi
nese people of return of famine and
whole villages went on pilgrimages to
the temple of the rain god in Yu Tao
He Valley to pray for rain.
Major General Feng Yu Hsiang,
member of the Asbury Methodist Epis-
copal church of Picking and command
er of the Eleventh division of the Chi
nese army, sent out an invitation to all
Christians to meet with his troops in
prayer for rain
A grand review of the Eleventh di-
vision was held. The national anthem
was sung, and an address was given
and General Fend prayed that the sins
OF the Honan people be visited upon
his head and the punishment of
drought be lifted
1t happened that two hours after
the meeting closed a heavy rain fell,

would have to adopt in conforming to
my views.
Bismarck was not a foe to the Ia
boring classes-on that l wish to lay
stress, in view of what l have previ-
ously said. On the contrary! He was
far too great a statesman to mistake
the importance of the labor question to
the State. But he considered the
whole matter from the standpoint of
pure expediency for the State. The
State, he believed, should care for the
laborer, as much and in whatever man
ner it deemed proper; he would not
admit of any cooperation of the work
ers in this. Agitation and rebellion,
| he believed, should be severely sup
pressed; by force of arms, if necessa-
ry. Government protection on the one
hand, the mailed fist on the other
that was Bismarck's social policy.
| |, however, wished to win over the
soul of the German workingman, and
! fought zealously to attain this goal. |
was filled with the consciousness of a
plain duty and responsibility toward
my entire people-also therefore. to-
ward the laboring classes. What was
theirs by right and justice should be
come theirs, l thought: moreover, | be
lieved that this should be brought
about, wherever the will or power of
the employers ceased, by the lord of
the land and his Government, in so
far as justice or necessity demanded.
AS soon as / had recognized the ne
cessity for reforms, to some of which
the industrial elements would not con-
sent, l took up the cudgels for the Ia
boring classes, impelled by a sense of
justice.
| had studied history sufficiently to
guard myself against the delusion of
believing in the possibility of making
an entire people happy. l realized
clearly that it was impossible for one
human being to make a nation happy.
The truth is that the only nation which
is happy is the one that is contented,
or at least is willing to be contented
a willingness which implies a certain
degree of realization of what is pos
sible-a sense of the practical, in
short. Unfortunately, there is often
lack of this.
| was we'll aware that, in the I'M
bounded demands of he Socialist lead
ers, unjustified greed would be con-
stantly developed anew. But, for the
very reason that | wished to be able to
combat unjustified aspiration with a

way, it behooved me not to deny recog-
, milton and aid to justified aspirations

which were summoned Immediately
made reports on the situation as they
had found it.
Among these was one of my former
barrack comrades, belonging to the
Hussar Guard Regiment, Won Michaelis
by name, who was famous as wit He
rode, alone and unarmed, among the
striking crowds of workers, who-the
early Spring beng remarkably warm
were camped upon the hillsides, and
soon managed, by his confidence-in-
spring, jovial ways. to set up a harm
less intercourse with the strikers By
questioning them he obtained much
valuable information about the griev-
Ancestral and imaginary-of the
workers, as we'll as about their plans,
hopes and wishes for the future. He
soon won for himself general apprecia-
ton and affection among the workers
and handled them so well that COM
plete quiet reigned in his territory.
When /, on account of nervous and
worried kilograms from the big indus
trial leaders and officials received at
the office of the Imperial Chancellor,
inquired of Michaelis how the situation
stood, the following telegraphed ans
Wer came from him: Everything quiet
excepting the Government officials"
A mass of material was collected,
during the Spring and Summer, from
the announcements and reports re-
ce1Ved which showed clearly that all
was not well in industrial circles; that
many wish of the workers was JUS
titled and, to say the least, entitled
to sympathetic investigation both on
the part of the employers and the Off
Gals. The realization of this, which
was confirmed in me when | question
ed my former private teacher, Privy
Councillor DR.. Hintzpeter-a man par
ucularly. WelI-informed on social pho
nomena, especially those in his own
proYince-caused the resolve to ripen
IN me to summon the State Council, in
clude employers and employees in its
deliberations, and bring about. under
my personal direction, a thorough in
vestgation of the labor question ! de-
clded that in so doing guiding princi-
| pies and material were to be acquired
which would serve the Chancellor and
| the Prussian Government as a basis
for working out appropriate projects
! for new laws.

stuck to my ideas. adding in support
of them the maxim of Frederick the
Great: "Je yeux etre I'm Roi des
gueux." Il wish to be King of the
rabble.) l said that it was my duty to
take care of those Germans who were
used up by industry, to protect their
strength and better their chances of
existence.
Further Conflict With Chancellor
The predicted opposition from
Prince Bismarck was not long in COM
ing. There was much trouble and
fighting before l put through what |
wanted, owing to the fact that some of
the big industrial interests ranged
themselves on the side of the Chancel
lor. The State Council met, presided
over by me. At the opening session
