Following is the Armistice Day
proclamation by Governor c. c.
Moore, issued at Boise, Oct. 20:
"There are glorious days in the
memory of the people of all nations,
celebrated and held sacred to the
great achievements of illustrious
citizens. Such day is November
eleventh, considered by all as the
fitting day to celebrate the closing
of the last great war, which threat
ened the very fundamental princi-
Piles of civilization.
at behooves US, as loyal citi-
zens who wish to keep alive hero
ism for great causes and instill tie
patriotism of our forefathers In the
minds and lives of the present
generations, to set aside a day tor
the solemn contemplation OF ac-
complishments and sacrifices which
have made our nation and our
blessings possible. Thus we learn
that there are obligations as well
as privileges of government ano
that perpetuity of the common
wealth depends upon following
some of the basic truths as lalc
down by those who by great efforts
have made and preserved the
nation.

ments' experience during the war,
he gave figures to show that in
1917, under private management
there were I,732,876 employees in
railroad work and that in 1920
under government management
this number had been increased to
o,o22, 863 and the cost for wages
had jumped from $3.50, 900. 900
year in 1917 to 1861, 100000
ia 1920. Back under private mac.
agement in 1921 the railroads re-
duced their expenses for comPen-
sation to 81, 765, 900, 900 and the
number OF employees to 600, ,6i7.
Mr.. French declared that, as one
who has served on the appropria-
tions committee for nearly six
years. he had observed ip every
instance that where government
management was compared with
private management of any bus'-
ness, the cost of government man
agement was vastly higher. s
Under government ownership.
he declared the vast increase OF
expense would have to be met bv
increased passenger and ifcight
,,,es and the farmer would have
. to meet most Of the added burden
because OF the heavy weight OF
what he has to sell and buy and
because, unlike the merchant, nc
$ lis unable 10 pass the burden on to
, someone else. The farmer, he said,
would also feel an added burden IN
: 1.-The increase of taxes to make up
}for revenue lost by removal OF rail-
road property from the tax rolls, as
all government property is exempt
from taxation.
Mr.. French also condemned
Senator LaFollette's plan TO turn
lover TO congress the final decision
as 10 the constitutionality OF IT'S
laws, thus taking away all limita-
Etions on the power of congress to
tamper at will with the rights OF
the people as guaranteed IN the
constitution and protected by the
supreme court.

NEW YORK, Mar. 3.-Towards
the end, unhappy little Vallie Be
lasco Martin s life was just one re
lection slip after another. Her pitt
rclly amateurish literary efforts
were adjudged unfit for even the
poorest publications.
They baried her Saturday i'll
Woodlawn Cemetery, within sound
of the voice of the city that broke
her heart and even as = little fun
eral cortege bore the self-dtstroyed
body to rest, agents were bidding for
the book she wrote-of value now
for the morbid interest her pathet-
ic suicide evoked.
The story is Il commonplace of
Broadway. Vallie was girl whose
father was a leading citizen of Mil
waukee in 1915. The mother, who
followed to the lonely Woodlawn
grave today the body of her daugh-
ter, was prominent in society. ValHe
was a child prodigy. At II years
of age she wrote a play which was
produced at the Little Theatre in
Milwaukee. She had another claim
to fame rs the niece of the great
David Belasco.
And, so, when the father died and
finally finances proved hopelcssly
tangled, the talented Vallie came to
New York as SO many girls from
main street have done, to win fame
from Broadway.
Gets Part on Road
1t took Vallie four days 10
reach her distinguished uncle
David s ear, so many are the girls
that claim kinship to the producer.
The kindly Belasco saw to it that
the child had opportunity to appear
in musical comedy for time; in
Comstock and Best productions.
Here and on the road all went
well. Vallie s parts were small but
adequate, commensurate to her his
trionic abilities.
But the stage was not Vallie s
muse. For some reason, Nallie ycarn-

College Men Majority
on List; Robertson
Head Coach
By HENRY L. FARRELL
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Mar. 3. Some
promising college candidates fer the
Olympic team were uncovered III
the eastern indoor iAter-college
championships and the University
of Illinois games Saturday night.
Lawson Robertson, whose Univers
ity Of Pennsylvania team won the
eastern title and who is to be ap-
pointed head coach of the Olympic
team, said there was Il wealth of
material among the college men and
veDtured the opinion the team might
have a majority of college man on
lis list.
De Hart Hubbard, University of
Michigan negro broad jumper, who
is sure of a place on the Olympic
team, made a great jump of 81 feet,
inches in the Illionis games.
Brownell of Illinois qualified for
the pole vault when he cleared II
feet 10. 80 inches, and Brookins,
who holds the record for 220-yard
hurdles, made the time of is see
onds in the 75-yard hurdles.
COMPARISON or Time ana perform
ances in the two big meets seemed
to indicate that the west will make
a big bid for places on the team.
Place for Hills
The best mark made in the New
York games in the broad jump was
done by Rose of Pennsylvania, who
did % feet, 3 Is inches, and Moore
: of Penn State, regarded as The best
hurdler in the east, made 9 Ito in
the 70-yard hurdles.
Among the eastern athletes the
best performances were made by
Ralph Hills, the Princeton football
player and shot putter, Chest Bow.
man, Syracuse football player and
sprinter, Verns Booth, Johns Hop
kins, distance runner, and Schuyler
Enck, Penn State miller.
Hills, almost sure of place on
the Olympic team, made new rec
ord of As feet, 3-4 inches in the 16
pound shotput.
Bowman ran 70 yards in 2-10
seconds, which was not record time
but it was done in a manner 10 prove
that he is one of the promising
sprinters in the country.
Booth made a new record for the
two mile run by doing the distance
in 9:36. Enck won the mile and had
it all his own way.

Relentless Broadway Claims
Another Victim from Main ST.

ed for self-expression through writ
ing.
The tragedy is that the book she
struggled to write, should have been
burned with the few other belong
ings left when Vallie grew up. 1t
was hopelessly bad book.
Now hard faced, hawk nosed men
in Broadway offices are competing
for the privilege of producing it.
They offered Vallie not even encour
agement. To the heart broken moth
er who may have to sell to provide
for herself and a 15-year-old son,
they offer $1,000 for publication
rights, $500 for movie rights with
so per cent of all royalties.
