WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH IDA
HOO SHE'S ALL RIGHTl-IT'S
CBy Guy Flenner)

Nby Guy rlenhtIJ
The citizens of this state are
stockholders in the Idaho Corpora
ton, Unlimited, owning a big de-
partment store filled with choice
goods.
Every department is community
It's fine establishment, but it Is
weak in two essentials advertising
and craftsmanship.
Each department has been adyer-
Using wastefully instead of eo-or-
dinating with the whole concern.
Each has been spasmodically hand
ing out circulars to the trade that
have not produced much business be-
cause too eircumscribed, too selfish,
too much devoted to undermining
the other departments of the same
institution and, therefore, creating
suspicion of the entire establish
ment.
The sales efficiency has been be-
low normal, and the stockholders
have encouraged incompetency and
laxity by apathetic consideration Of
the subject.
Isn't that about the situation?
And if it is, who's to blame?
In the first place, we seem to
have spent too much time peddling
gloom instead of goods.
When the business of our COM
petitors slackened, those fellows did
not stand on the street corners and
tell what bum store community
it was. Not muchl They said It
was o. K, and then they made It
o. X.
They got busy and sold more
goods, through energetic, business
getting advertising and confidence
building craftsmanship. They didn't
tell the whole country they lived in
the only cemetery in existence hay-
ing street lights.
They secured for their business
fresh investment of capital by show
ing their resources, plus their pos
sibilities, plus their stock, not by
kicking capital in the face.
And then, too, they sang-and
they didn't sing "The Belly Ache
Blues"
So 4 se
The crux of our Idaho situation
is that we must become imbued with
an Idaho spirit and an Idaho vision
before any department in this Idaho
establishment can enjoy steady pro-
gress.
There can no more be continued
community growth in state that $
slipping back than there can be
steady state advancement in de-
pressed nation.
Our troubles as stockholders in
this great corporation are to a large
extent self made, just as they are in
our private affairs. We have the
goods world beating goods-in ag-
riculture, but the outside world is

not intelligently advised because
there is no one community that can
afford to conduct the kind of adj
vertihing campaign that will get re-
suits.
Each has been passing out expen-
siye pamphlets. that have produced
little or nothing, instead Of getting
into the national publicity field.
The business-like thing to do is to
Join in nationwide advertising
campaign advertising Idahol
That viii bring results. And re-
member that no one can be brought
to any Idaho community. and no new
capital until he or 1t first crosses
the Idaho line Until that happens
no community can get him or it;
and no community can get all of him
or it anyway. Bring lot of him
or 1t, or both, into Idaho and every
community gets its share.
Then we need more of intelligent
salesmanship and less of in-ane sulk-
ing; more of confidence and less of
carping; more OF "can" and less OF
cant"
Why should we not move into this
business Of selling Idaho with pride
and faith? Where In the known
world is there such body OF land
as in the Snake River Valley and its
tributary valleys, such as the Boise.
the Payette, the Weiser, the salmon,
and all the rest Of them. north and
south?
DISTINGUISHED experts who have
tested soils over the world have said
there is no such body OF land in the
world having the hame generous
supply of needed crop-making chem
zeal elements.
That's the reason for our wonder
full productiveness, for our superior
potatoes and celery and seeds and
livestock. for our record breaking
COWS, for our savory poultry-and
that's the reason large institutions
are coming in not primarily to
help u.s. but to help themselves. But,
Of course, they do help us immense
". And they have come thus late
because we did not posses the sales
manship to put the facts before
them. Most OF them hunted out the
truth themselves; some stumbled
upon it, like Kraft, the eastern
cheese man, who came to Idaho, not
to invest, but TO visit his old pastor
in Boise, when, incidentally, he
learned some things about our dairy
productiveness, our pastures and for
age He dug up the rest of it and
moved in.
Not only in agriculture, but in
mines, in timber, in livestock and in
other directions we have been poor
statesmen. And we have neglected
to tell about our goods such as
other states are Dragging about out
loud and in print-our financial in
situations, our transportation, our
telephone and power facilities, all
giving really remarkable service
in a state of small and broken popu-
lation-a big state service.
And we have not only failed to
sell, but have we not been disposed
at times OF stress and deception to
help undermine these great indus
trial and institutional departments
of this mammoth store and render
them semi-impoyerished and semi
impotent, II not more so2

MYSTICISM SEEN
AS Pure RELIGION
Dean Inge Calls 1t Independ-
ent of Time, Place, Nation
aIity or Creed.
By the Associated Press.

- by the Associated Press.
: NEW HAVEN. Conn. April o.
: Very Rev. William Ralph Inge, the
: gloomy dean of ST Paul's Cathe
dral London, continued his task OF
tracing the history of the Christian
religion in two lectures delivered al
the sixteenth convocation of the Yale
: Divinity School here yesterday.
: In speaking of mysticism Dear
1nge said:
Called Pure Religion.
Mysticism is religion in its purest
form-it is Independent of time, place
nationality and creed. In reading the
Writings of the great mystics we
might often be in doubt whether the
writer was a neoplatonist or member
of any other philosophical sect. Re
ligion is like those chemical elements
which are not found in any pure state
it is difficult to segregate them from
the alien substances which are al
ways mixed with them. But mys
ticism is pure religion. For this
reason the great churches have never
] been able to do without it, yet have
never been able to control it or sub
ordinate it to their aims. 1t has been
throughout a rival to every mo-
nopolist claim; a potential enemy to
all priestcraft."
Discusses Catholicism.
Catholicism was characterized by
the distinguished speaker as agrarian,
when, during his treatment of the
subject of feudalism, he touched on
the topic.
The town rather than the country
was the room for medieval thinkers.
who, in this respect, were less In
fuenced by feudalism than is often
! supposed" Dean Inge said. Modern
Catholicism, on the other hand, is
agrarian in it's sympathies and is
weak in the large cities of our day.
On the other hand, the traditional
! condemnation of usury, which goes
back to Aristotle. made Catholicism
unsympathetic to big business OF
every kind"

HUMAN[|KE TRAITS
! OF BIRDS DEPICTED
Harry C.. 0berhoIser Gives H.
Iustrated Lecture on Feath-
cred Family in District.

Humanlike traits of birds were de-
scribed by Harry c. Oberholser in an
illustrated address on Bird Life in
the District of Columbia" at a meet.
ing of the Columbia Historical So
ciety in the Cosmos Club last night.
Exhibiting pictures and describing
the cunning with which the long-bill
marsh wren builds it's nest, fastened
between marsh reeds, Mr.. Oberholser
described how the male bird of this
species resembles in more than one
way the males of the human families
with whom we come in contact each
day. Mr.. Oberholser told of the Won
derful construction of the nests built
by the mother bird for the raising
of the young, but added that the male
bird is not satisfied with this home,
but builds himself one or more bach
elor quarters.
Not Up to Standard.
And, like many a bachelors quar-.
ters, these are not nearly so we'll
built or equipped as the home nest,
but the male bird enjoys the freedom
of them, apparently, and spends much
of his time in them. The nest built
by the female of this species of bird
is complete in every way, said the
speaker, who explained that the in.
side of it is lined with the fur from
"cattail' weeds, which grow In
swampy land. However, the male
bird is perfectly satisfied to remain in
his bachelor quarters without the
comforts of his fur-lined home.

IN MEMORIAM
By VIM. H. Steward

Charles Stewart, son Of Henry and
Harriet Stewart, was born in Frank
fort, KY, May 28, 1869. He was con-
verted in his youth and was baptized
into the fellowship Of the First Baptist
Church by the late Rev. Robert Mar
tin. He attended the private school
taught by Miss Matte Anderson and
in 1881 came to Louisville, where he
entered what is now known as Sim
mons University Of which Rev. VIM.
J. Simmons was then president.
Like many Of the young men Of that
day, he had to work his way through
school and in that desire he found
service with the American Baptist as
collector and reporter. His taste for
journalism was in that way encouraged
and he subsequently had the courage
to approach the manager Of the
Courier-Journal on that subject and he
made such favorable impression that
he was engaged to furnish "Colored
Column" for that paper. He has main
tanned a connection with both Of their
papers from that time until his death.
Finishing the Normal Course at
Simmons University, he went to Chi
