with Moscow merchants, or would it be
the proper thing to accept higher bid
and purchase from an outside concern
In the matter of spending city
funds for printing the city council
has sent the laundry out of town, and
purchased its bacon from an outside
factory How? Because, after letting
the contract to the highest bidder, the
actual setting of the type has been
done out of Moscow. Not a type of
the city ordinances were set in Mos
COW, and the money that is spent for
printers wages to do the work will
be spent in another town. Moscow
merchants, who must pay large pro-
portion of the cost, can never get one
penny of this money for Spokane or
Lewiston printers dc not trade with
Moscow merchants, or buy meat from
a Moscow butcher They do not rent
home or pay taxes in Moscow.
The Star-NIirror sets it's type in
Moscow 1t employs printers who live
here and who spend their wages in
Moscow And yet, in the face of the
lowest bid for paving ordinances the
city council gave the work to higher
bidder who, for lack of facilities to do |
the work in Moscow, had it done out
of town by printers who live out o.
town and who spend their wages out of
town.
And this is the ay to encourage
industry in Moscow. This is the way

Says Teddy Buys Support.

| WASHINGTON, April 20.-Directol
Mckinley of the national Taft bureau
today issued a statement calling at
tention to the alleged use of money
in the Roosevelt campaign.
1.-THE lavish expenditure of money in
this campaign by the hackers of for
mer President Theodore Roosevelt
says the statement, has led to the
questions being raised:
Were the victories of Roosevelt in
Pennsylvania and Oklahoma due to a
great popular demand for his re-
nomination, or to the use of money!
Further Mr.. Mckinley says:
I'm no preconvention campaign in
been used in such large sums, amount
ing, in view OF the general verdict of
the country with respect to certain
expenditures by senators of the Uni
rupticn, as has been expended by the
hackers of Colonel Theodore Rocse-
velt"
Mr. Mckinley declares that the
Roosevelt forces spent large sums in
Oklahoma; that they distributed $780,
600 in Allegheny county, Pa, including
Pittsburg. by issuing 10000 pieces of
scrip" in S. denomination to mes
sergers"; that the total Roosevelt ex-
penditures in Pennsylvania were be-
-ween $250,000 and 100000; that in
New York county alone 100000 was
spent in an endeavor to influence the |
and that efforts were made |
o buy out" precinct captains in New
York.
In this connection said the Nc
<inley statement, ''one district cap
ain in New York did sell out to the
roosevelt managers, plainly showing
hat Mr.. Roosevelt was not the can
idate in answer to great popular
emand,' but the beneficiary of bag
f good, hard dollars"

WHO GETS THE MONEY?

Suppose the city of Moscow should
have need of 5000 worth of laundry
work and the city council should de-
eide to let it to the lowest bidder. G.
B. Green, to the credit of Moscow has
equipped a plant capable of turning
out, with home labor, every detail OF
laundry requirements. But suppose
the city accept the bid of an agent of
a Lewiston or Spokane laundry, aud
the work, paid for by the citizens of
Moscow, is done out of Moscow. How
much benefit does Moscow get? Where
do the laboring men or girls living out
of Moscow spend their wages? With
Moscow merchants? Not a cent. All
that Moscow gets out of the 5000 srent
by the city for laundry would be the
ten or twenty per cent commission re-
tanned by the local agent. And sup
pose, for example, that as matter of
fact, the bid of c. B. Green were real
ly the lowest, and yet the city council
would, upon the word of the Spokane
agent, who assured the council that
two from four leave one, accept the |
higher bid and send the work out Of |
town What would you thing OF it?
Suppose the city of Moscow have |
need of 5000 worth of ham, bacon and
lard Would it be business to buy
from local people, who manufacture
the goods in Moscow with labor tia,
ives here and spends the money here

BOOST LATAH COUNTY.

No country on earth has so much
need of legitimate boosting as Latah
county. Why? Because there is no
place in the world where there is so
much undeveloped business. We have
as good apple land as there is on
earth and yet are content to sit around
and do nothing while the eastern land
seeker passes us by and invests his
in no better land for which he
pays five to twenty times the price
of our apple land. Who is to blame?

SURELY HARD MAN TO PLEASE
Managing Editor Would Not Be Satisfied.

An artist was drawing a cartoon wherein the flag of our nation played large part. He drew the flag, first time, with five stars in the blue field and took 1t to the managing editor, who promptly let out yelp.
 "Wadye think this country is," said the managing editor, "a trust?"
 ''What's the trouble?" asked the art ist.
 Trouble" beloved the managing editor. "why, we need more stars, stars, starsl"
 So the artist brought the picture back and this time he had IF stars in it by actual count.
 The managing editor felt his head and choked slightly.
 What do you think you're draw. ing?" he asked at last.
 You're the hardest man to please I ever met in my life," said the artist indignantly; first it's too few and then it's too many. How many stars do you want, anyway"

'DEAD' VETERAN NO
 LONGER A CORPSE
Uncle Sam Finally Recognizes That Ravenna Soldier Is Still
 Very Much Alive.
FIGHTS FOR PENSION
Although His Name Is Inscribed In the Roll of the Dead on Public Monuments, He ls Quite
 Lively.

Ravenna, O.-Uncle Sam has just declared John Bergin, Civil war vet eran, not a corpse.
 Bergin's name is inscribed on the Cuyahoga county soldiers and sailors monument and on the one at Bedford as among the dead. Bergin makes special trips to Cleveland and Bed ford just for the satisfaction of look ing at it.
 Berlin lives on his farm of 52 acres northwest of Ravenna. He Is na- tive of Ireland and came to this coun- try with his parents. Patrick Bergin and wife, who landed from an emil grant boat at New Orleans TO years ago.
 When the war of the rebellion start ed he came to Ravenna, where he en- listed in the Seventh O. V. l., rom which he received an honorable dis charge because of disability In 1S62. He re-enlisted the next year in the 104th o. V. l., and at the battle Of Ringold was left for dead on the field of battle His death was reported to his regiment by his sergeant, and was go entered on it's rolls.
 The next day, however, those who came on the field to bury the dead found him still breathing and he was taken to a hospital where, after long ciently to return to his home in Franklin, Portage county, Ohio.
 The fact of his resurrection" was never reported to his regiment, and his name was, therefore, included with those who gave their lives for their country In official records he was dead and buried, and to clinch the case, his name was engraved on the

A Reform Fable.

Behold, a Certain man was a Re- former.
 He was always Telling people how Nice 1t would be for Them if they Were like him.
 And he told a Young man who was Smoking large and Vigorous pipe:
 If it were not for your Habit of smoking you could have Owned that large building Across the street."
 Hal Hal" said the young man with the Pipe.
 Then he said 1t Again.
 Then he pointed to the Large sign on the Building, which read:
 SMOKING TOBACCO FACTORY.
 q inherited that Factory last week. My father Owned it until he Died.r
 That was All the young man said.

On Roll of Dead.

soldiers and sailors monuments in Cleveland and Bedford, on both of which shafts 1t may still be read.
 The bullet which killed" the in- trepid Irish-American, who, by the way, says he Is ready to march under the stars and stripes again should oc- casion require, struck him on the base of the jaw, portion of which was carried away. The bullet also cut off a section of his tongue, by reason of which there Is a pronounced impeachment in his speech.
 Bergin's troubles began when he applied for a pension in the course of aftei years. For he was dead, you know and dead men do not draw pen sions from Uncle Sam's coffers If he knows himself, and he thought he did in this instance. The scent of an other attempted pension fraud came to the sensitive nostrils of the depart ment, and the sleuths were set to work. Bergin told his story, once, twice and a hundred times with no variation, although subjected to all of the tests ever put to "pretender to the throne" But because the sinewy soldier refused to stay under the sod where the roll of his regiment had placed him, and where his home was recorded by the sculptors who carved his name on the monuments, Uncle Sam was at length convinced and sat isfied to transfer it from his book of dead to that of the living. The pa triot for whom friends had mourned was thus legally raised from the dead and is now receiving 8 pension of $17.50 per month.
 Bergin Is an interesting character and Is full of the proverbial Irish wit, which dances and sparkles in his clear Celtic eye and trembles on his tongue, crippled though 1t be from the rebel bullet.
 In relating the story of his suffer- ings on the battlefield he said that he regained consciousness during the night for a short time, long enough for him partially to stanch the flow of blood by the use of grass and leaves which he managed to pluck with his hands. He then relapsed into uncon- sciousness, but was still this side of Jordan when found the next day. Since that time he has been the live Hest corpse tha ever came out of old Ireland
 Bergin is widower and has two married daughters, Mrs M. A. Myers, who lives at the homestead, and an- other married daughter in Paines- vile. with whom he Is now visiting.

So they labored, stroke on stroke; Stroke on stroke the axes rang Until through the mighty oak
 Swept tremor as a pang; Swept a tremor though it still Held its kingly head full high, Dominating yet the hill
 Where it seemed to touch the sky And the wind came signing on, Touching one by one its leaves, Touched them all and then was gone As q gentle friend that grieves; And the birds came flying in, Silently, on frightened wings And sped out, as they had been Warned from out the heart of things And the oak tree seemed to sigh As a patient old man does When his time is come to die Signing for each day that was. Then the oak tree seemed to say Words that quivered through the wood And the great trees far away Answered that they understood: Brothers of the centuries,
 Listen; listen to my call I that dared the gale to seize Me in hate-I am to fall. I that shook the wind in wrath When it battled with my form, that gave no inch of path
 To the army of the storm q must die-not as of old
 Trees met death, when centuries Into misty ages rolled
 And took tribute of the trees I that woke with leaves of green For well-nigh thousand springs; I that famed with wondrous sheen In the colors autumn filings "I must die, as kings must die Stricken by traitors hand; Brothers Of the sod and sky,
 Tell me that you understandn' Then the great trees far away Murmured in a swift reply That swept through the heart of day To the great oak that should die. And the men who slew the oak Laughed the while; they laughed and
 sang So they labored, stroke on stroke; Stroke on stroke the axes rang And the oak tree groaned and fell,
 
 Shall the trees return the blows? Who can say, and who can tell? He that made them all-He knows.
