] BORAH MAKES PLEA FOR STATE RIATS Ideho Senator Also Upholds Nationalism—Sees Force in Chinese Spirit. A vigorous plea for States' rights and nationalism was made by Senator Borah of Idaho in an address at the | annual banquet of the Idaho State Soclety at the Roosevelt Hotel last night. The Idaho Senator bitterly denounced “internationalism™ at the cost of national pride, and declared that “all the combined power of the West c: natlonalism out of China,"” About 200 members and guests at % tended the banquet, which celebrated 1daho's “Tetritorial day.” C. B. Jen- nings, president of the socfety, pre. | sided, and Albert 11. Connor was toast. master. In additlon to Senator Borah, Reprontative Addison H. Smith and Col. 2, G. Davis spoke briefly. | Need of Strength In States. Declaring that the family, the State &nd the Nation were the three domi- nating passions of the individual, Sen- ator Borah charged th:t the Federal Government had become great, “not by doing what a central government ought to do, but by doing what the States ought to do.” He warned that there can be no great central r v ' ernment without strong State govern ts. The Senator declared that the Roman empire became decadent be- cause Rome usurped the rights of the local governments, and added: “Only =0 long as we keep the distinction be- tween State and National Govern- ments can we preserve the funda- mental principles upon which this Nation was organized.” Of Federal control of education, Senator Borah declared he would never agree “to put our educational institutio: in the strait-jacket of a bureau at Washington." Senator Borah asserted his belief that the organizers of the Govern- ment of the United States “reached a noint beyond which the human mind can never go.” He praised an inter- nationalism of friendship and co- operation, but declared that “‘that which destroys national pride and breaks down the demarcation be- tween nations is not only futility but conspiracy against civilization itselt.” China's New Spirit. Speaking of China, he sald that 400,000,000 have just awakened to a new spirit of nationalism, and “all the combined power of the West can't shoot that nationalism out of them. We must make peace with it,” he declared, “and we ought to know that without shedding blood. Once the na- tlonalistic spirit arises it never can be eradicated.” Small nations have the same rights s great powers, Senator Borah said, and one of the principles of govern- ment should be to let them realize their own spirit of nationalism. The Utah State Soclety Glee Club, i+ under the direction of Prof. Edward * P. Donovan of Georgetown University, sang several selections between the addresses. Miss Lydia Daines was the agcompanist. Ned Davis, young son of Col. Davis, played two selections on the piano. Dancing followed the dinner. The committee in charge of the banquet consisted of Wallace Mec- Bride, chairman; Cora Rubin, W. ) Johanessen and Lloyd Lehrbas.

Commonwealth Attorney Farr said last night that he was convinced rob- bery was the motive for the murder and assaults. While the murder and assaults are said to have occurred shortly after noon on Friday, the tragedy was not discovered until 4 o'clock in the after- noon, when a relative of Mrs, Ridge- way came to the house on an errand.

The battleships Oklahoma and Nevada will leave with 1,200 mid- shipmen from the Naval Academy on June 3 for a tour of more than 10,000 miles to the Pacific Coast, via the Panama Canal.
