It is wonderful how much fun you
can get out of your shortcomings If you
only form a club to overcome them.
There was the Don't Gossip club I be-
longed to during the last Lenten season.
1t was connected with the Lenten sew
ing circle, and my dear, I'm blessed if
we didn't clothe a poor child from head
to toe out OF the proceeds. Only twen-
ty-five cent fines. too mind youl There
were some to be sure. who said it wasn't
fair to work the Don't Gossip club dur
ing the sewing circle sessions. as no
one ever heard OF even two women
sewing together without talking scan
dal, and when 1t came to {. dozen, why
it was like catching fish in a net from
a fish preserve.
But that was one reason why the
whole thing was such a success, prob
ably. They are going to have it again
this year, but don't think I'll join. I
lost too much money!
If there is anything which makes me
suspicious Of girls attractions it is
when she boasts Of them herself The
girl who tells you about her conquests

~ IRIS, old women, everybody Is

Really this is question worth
thinking about seriously, both on psy-
biological and physiological grounds.
it is probably true, as Prentice Null

D. declared his yOuthfulness and
throughout acted up to his declaration
it was plain to all that he was a mid

The two cases I have mentioned are
those of men, observe, not women.

TABLET TO FRANCES

A tablet has been erected to the mem
ory of Frances E. Willard in the quaint
old parish church of Horsmonden, Eng
land, the birthplace OF her ancestor, ST.
mon Willard, who in 1884 founded Con
cord, n. H. Miss Willard on her last
visit to England put up a tablet to ST.
mon Willard in this old church, and last
summer a distant cousin Of hers placed
a memorial tablet to Miss Willard un-
der the first one. It says that "she ac-

Every honest democrat is at heart an
American citizen; every good republi-
can is first an American and then a
partisan. AS democrats and republi-
cans we have a right and may honestly
differ as to which policy will best serve
the demands Of all the people and
which course will bring to our county,
our state, and our nation the greatest
degree Of prosperity. But nothing in
the teachings Of democracy, nothing
in the principles of republicanism'
nothing in the public utterances Of the
great party leaders, be they members
Of either party, will justify men in
turning their backs upon principle that
they may assist in placing in public
office a chronic Office seeker. And
the News is proud that today all over
Latah county we have found democrats
who are asserting their manhood and
doing all in their power to assist the
republicans in bringing to defeat John
M. Thompson, the Office seeker. We

an honorable citizen, and good, old
fashioned democrat, and the Moscow
Journal certainly will not question him.
Or ask Wash Wolheter, Chas. Oderlin,
James Cant, or any one Of the respon-
sible farmers and heavy taxpayers Of
the Berry neighborhood who were pres
ent and listened to the argument. If
the reformers wiped the earth with
Messrs. Truitt, Mullaley, and Orcutt
they should not have allowed their
tempers to get away with them to the
extent that they were anxious to settle
the question with their fists. And if
the republicans got licked" in the

can present leave the school house

are proud because it is good to know
that the great mass Of men, be their
politics what they may, are imbued
with something higher and nobler than
an insane, sordid, selfish desire to hold
public Office at any cost. 1t does US
good because if is good to know, by
precept and example, that our fellow
men, be they Of another political faith,
are not unmindful Of the duty they, as
citizens, owe their county and their
state. 1t does US good because it
teaches US to be optimists, and be-
cause it builds up and increases our
faith in the good sense, the honor, the
honesty, and in the patriotism of our
fellowmen. It teaches US to think less
of party and more OF citizenship, and
makes US know that we can trust the
good, sober, sensible citizenship Of
Latah county to settle forever the hopes
and political aspirations OF John M.
Thompson and every other man whose
only desire is to get into public office.

within their power to bring about the
election Of this great republican leader
and no friend CT Mr.. Borah should be
deceived. A vote for the republican
ticket is voc for Mr.. Borah and
vote for the citizens nominees is not.
Make no mistake. Mr.. Borah GER
tainly understands the English Ian
guage and meant exactly what he said
when he said: Il want the republi-
can ticket in Latah county elected
from top to bottom" And if you are
with and for Mr.. Borah and wish to see
him represent Idaho in the United
States senate then believe him. Re-
member that Mr.. Borah is running on
the republican ticket and on no other
ticket. It makes no difference what
the fusion crowd claim. we give you
Mr.. Borah's own words and urge the
voters to make no mistake.

The News again urges the voters to
stand solidly for W. E. Borah for the
position Of Idaho's next United States
Senator. And if he is defeated in
Latah county next Tuesday the blame
will rest on the heads of republicans
who, that they might get a public
Office, either for themselves or their
friends, voted against the nominees on
republican ticket. If Borah, the law
yer, the orator, the statesman, goes
down to defeat in this campaign let H.
c. Shaver, w. D. Smith, A. B. Towne,
w. R. Trull, and every other republi-
can identified with the so-called reform
movement answer to Mr.. Borah for
their folly. If you are friend Of w.
E. Borah and desire to cast your vote
for him make no mistake. The re-
publican nominees stand pledged, if
elected, to use all honorable means

The News warns the voters to be-
ware Of campaign lies sprung by the
Independents at the last moment. 1t
is alleged that scheme is now on foot
to make serious and sensational charges
against the republican county officials,
possibly the morning Of the election,
and at a time when it will be impossible
for the voters to verify the truth of the
charges. The News desires to warn
the people and suggest that they take
no stock in stuff Of this character.
Why? Simply because if The opposi-
ton were in possession of facts OF
knew Of anything that would bear in
