a good deal of ignorance of the sec

following figures:

B $4,000 $4,000

In this case B, G and D represent
similar ideas and principles, and their

the first choice will win at the finish.

HONEST NEWS SERVICE.

There are times in which the Star
Mirror, if it's business warranted it,
might present in more detail, facts
that come to it in outline, in the
course of our telegraph service. But
this paper could not, regardless Of
what press service it took, or how
many words of that service it paid for,
present any more essential facts of
the days news than it now does.
The experience of our readers who
have compared the Star-Mirror with any
other paper reaching Moscow, is that
this paper offers the news, complete
in every essential, just as it happens.
The same experience shows that the
same facts are offered next day, in a.
wilderness of words, by the other
competing papers.
Short, and to the point-that is the
Star Mirror
But greater than this fact is the
other fact that the Star-Mirror, in pre-
senting it's readers with the United
Press telegraph service, offers tele-
graph service that cannot be bought.
Other papers, depending upon an
other, and less progressive news serv-

Too Many Cats Cause Divorce.

that when DR.. Campbell was at the
point of death in a hospital at Mon
rovia, Cal, it was through the Star
Mirror that his relatives here had the
first authentic information of his con-
dition.
And while it gives so great atten-
ton to detail, it also maintains fear
less attitude, necessary to fair news
paper, which enables it to give the
news on national questions, and in
the conflict whether between party
and party, individual and individual,
or between capital and labor.
Fairness is the essence of real value
in news service.
The Star-Mirror uses the United
Press telegraph service because it
knuckles to no power on earth but
the one illimitable power of Truth.

The trouble with our politics is, not
our system of government, but with
the citizenship of the state and the
nation. There is too much indiffer-
ence; too many who take no interest
in politics, turning this important bust
ness over to the professional office
seeker. 1t is the duty of every good
citizen to devote as much of his time
to politics as is necessary to insure
good government-the kind of govern
ment he likes and advocates. Eternal
vigilance is the price of good gov
eminent, just as surely as it is the
price of liberty. The worst curst is
blind partisanship; the cure is en-
lightened citizenship. We want less
of party and more Of patriotism.

WIDOW CHANGED MIND;
POET LOST COIN TOO

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 22-Heart
broken by the manner in which, hi
said, beautiful young widow residing
near the university had first raised his
hopes and then, by coldly jilting him
had cast his soul down into the depths
of despair A. NJ. Graves, seeker after
jovial $500 bride, has left Minneap-
oils for his farm near Penturen, Mimi
still most unwilling celibate. His
total expenses while counting half a
dozen Minneapolis women, including
expenditures for dinners, theatres and
refreshments, he said, were just 35
cents. Thus does the Penturen wooer
make a bid for the first prize in the
economical Romeo class.
Here are more important sentences
which the young widow wrote in the
letter that blighted Graves hopes and
caused plans for an immediate return
to Penturen:
You are jumping at conclusions. !"

Mrs. Graves"

And she wrote that after she had
given me every reason to believe she
was head over heels in love with me-"
commented Graves patheticaly as he
exhibited the letter. A tear stole down
the tanned cheek of the self-styled
farmer, traveller, educator, poet and
friend of Theodore Roosevelt.
The widow, Graves said first wrote
him several days ago when the fact
was published that he was looking for
a bride with $500 to pay off the mort
gage on his farm and become a step
mother for his 6-year-old daughter.
He showed this first letter:
Il have heard of you and believe
| would like to meet you," wrote the
widow Then followed detailed in
for reaching her residence
Graves said he went out and paid the
widow most pleasant call, remain
ing until after II D. m. and paying
ardent court. When he left, he said,
there was every reason to believe his
suit had been successful AS he under
stood it, there was a tacit under
standing that the lady was to become

For the past two weeks the roads have
been almost impossible, and at time
when butter, milk, and potatoes are

farmer who has milks to sell can't
bring it to the city without loss, be-
cause of the roads, while the people of
Moscow can't get enough milk for
their needs If there ever was a prac-
teal demonstration of the need of
good roads the people of this vicinity
have it now.

Money spent for permanent better
ments by the business man is not
money wasted; money spent by the
farmer for better improvements on the
farm is not wasted. What de we
think of the man who, with means and
ability to improve his land, is content
to live in a shack, and to get along
with an old stable? If it is the best
the farmer can do no criticism is justi-
fable If the merchant is doing his
best; if his store is as good as he can
make it, there is no room for crlt1-
cism. If we give wife and children the
best home within our means, we are
doing our best; if we educate the chill
dren as best we can, and raise them
to good and honorable manhood and
womanhood, credit to the state and
the nation, we have a right to feel
a sense of pride in the part we have
played in the world. But no man or
woman can find excuse for anything
less than the best that is in them. AS
with the individual so with town and
city and county and state and nation.

RICH WOMAN STARVES;

With more than $4,000 in high-grade
securities in her home, which she own
ed herself, not to mention nearly 49,
500 in cash and supply of food of
such exaggerated proportions as to
suggest preparations for siege, Miss
Elizabeth Armstrong, an eccentric
woman Of II years, died for lack of
food, clothing and habitable home.
Not since the famous blizzard of
1898 had Miss Armstrong left her
premises in Elm street, West Spring
field, until last week a physician and
an ambulance called to take her to
sanitarium. She had been found
in a semi-conscious condition by
neighbors, who reported her straits
to the authorities.

The arrival Of the physicians arous-

fought with such determination, the

which he administered alone prevented
her from injuring herself.

effects of the chloroform and improve
