Owner Cranks Car With
Clutch in at South River.
specidl to tn. EgENING NEWS.


South River, Sept. 6:-Cranking
an auto with the clutch in almost
caused a disastrous accident yester-
day afternoon in Main street.
Michael Morrlsey. the good nat
ured proprietor of the East Bruins
wick Hotel, took a short spin after
dinner in his touring car and on his
return stopped in front of the hotel.
He forgot to throw out the clutch.
Later in the afternoon Mr.. Morrisey
decided to take another ride and
when he turned the crank, the
clutch being in, the car started full
speed across Main street, striking a
large rut. The front wheels were
turned and in a moment 1t was on
the other side of the street. The
machine zig-zagged its way to the
corner of Main and Ferry streets,
where it struck a delivery wagon
driven by Louis Cohen. Neither the
wagon nor the driver were injured.
The machine then ran upon the
sidewalk and was about to crash
into the large plate glass windows
of Greenfield's dry goods store as
Mr.. Morrisey, who had been chas-
ing the machine, jumped pom the
running board and applied the
brakes. The auto was not damaged.

The Church and Amusements.

At a meeting of members of st
| Marks church Monday evening it wal
decided to withhold from publication
the sermon Sunday evening by Rev
Jonathan Watson on the Church anG
Amusements," and the Star-Mirror is
unable to give it's readers this able
discourse by one who takes issue with
some of the things said by Rev. Lowry
Rev. Watson read the 9Th chapter OF
Deut., and Roman IA. He based his
sermon on the latter chapter, and fol-
lowed closely the line of thought in
This chapter Rev. Watson took the
ground that it is impossible to lay
down any fast and hard rule. He said
that If the dance or the theatre or
cards were injurious either to oneself
or were a stumbling block to another
then it was wrong to indulge. If the
dance aroused either .mprt per
thoughts or passions it were sin for
such person to indulge. He said that
he could not see the difference be-
tween two pieces of pasteboard, one
Of which might happen to have dia-
mOnd on it, and the other the word
Finch" Personally, he said he
played cards sometimes with his
friends, and would dance if he knew
how. That he did these things for
the amusement they gave him, and
did them only when it were proper and
right and beneficial for him to have
amusement. That every person must
settle the qeusti0n of amusement for
themselves, and that this question
must be settled between the individual
and his God and should be settled on
Bonded knees by prayer. If there were
any doubt in the mind of an individual
as to the right or wrong of an act it
were sin to do it. If the conscience
could not approve then let it alone,
Pleasure is Gods premium on
healthy exercise" said Rev. Watson.
Again he said: Pleasure must not
be purchased at the cost of human
degradation. Further on he said:
Pleasure must not interfere with
duty"
Rev. Watson said that the dance had
always been a source of pleasure and
for all races and all peo-
oles, and cited number of dances that
,e considered proper and beneficial.
The folk-dances were of this class

A LIBEL ON GOD.

One of these days the lodges will
wake up and put a stop to the Gus
tom of holding God responsible for
deaths, many of them, that He is no
way responsible for. Aside from old
age death is usually the result of a
violation, somewhere of natural law.
Typhoid fever is the penalty for filth;
SO is it true of most diseases. Con-
sumptiOn is the penalty man pays for
a violation of the Creators pure food
law All the rottenness of venerial
disease is Natures protest against vio-
lated law of the Creator. From a
filthy drain, or because of poor
plumbing, illness and death follow
cent person, the blame is charged to
God We say: Whereas, our Heaven
ly Father, in His infinite mercy, has
seen fit to remove" ETC., and the whole
thing is cowardly insult. It's often
a lie.
Justify, if you can, the usual lodge
mother leaves her helpless babes. Or,
where the father is lost to his family.
Almost without exception God has
nothing to do with it. Here a man
starts out, driving a wild horse and the
lines snap. In the mixup somebody
is killed. A new line or a little re-
pair on an old one-a little patch on
weak spot-would have prevented
the accident and saved human life to
the end Of its appointed time, which is
old age. And yet we forget human !
negligence and carelessness and de-
liberate violation of natural laws, and |
our own ignorance and charge it up
to God.
The secret orders may will express
their sorrow in fitting resolutions, but
let them "cut out" the usual where
as, it has pleased God, in His infinite
mercy" It's libel about SO times out
Of every 100 times it's published.

THE DEADLY PARALLEL

Old as the hills is the game of the
crook who, yelling "catch the thief"
distracts the crowd while he picks
the pockets of the unsuspecting. It's
a fine old game. 1t has served those
in the past who have worked graft
while posing as the only Simon pure
article of genuine honesty; it h $
served, and is serving, the demagogue
and the would-be reformer who, anx
ious to wax fat at public expense,
poses as the peoples friend, bowling
calamity and working up sentiment
against honest industry and legitimate
business. The Idaho Post has lately
blcssomed into a political Moses, and,
enters the arena as the peoples cham
pion against official graft and dis
honesty. The very thought of >r-
porauon crucifying the dear "pepul"
on "cross of gold" or more plainly
speaking, robbing the taxpayers, is the
occasion for continual round of
editorial slush and senseless rot. And
yet, in the same issue, the Post fur
nishes the most convincing proof of |
its sincere love for the taxpayers of |
Latah county, and shows its ideas OF |
common honesty. And this in a paper !
that is opposed to graft; in the same
issue that it warns the taxpayers
against the wiles of corporation lobby
lists, and bowls because of fear that
some corporation will escape taxation.
The taxpayers of Latah count,
through the board of county
gave the Idaho Post
! two-year contract to publish the
proceedings at three
cents a line. To the average tax
payer this is an innocent looking con-

tract Nobody would ever dream that
the would-be leader of the reform
forces" in Latah county, that the foe
of corporations and the champion of
the dear ''pepul' could or would while
sweating blood for fear corporations
would escape taxation, be quietly re-
lieving the confiding taxpayer of his
good money. Let the taxpayers judge.
In the last official publication of the
county commissioners proceedings
there appeared the list of jurors for
the coming term of the district court.
The Star Mirror published this official
list and set it in the ordinary way,
and it made just 80 lines. The Idaho
Post, paid three cents per line out of
the public funds, by the taxpayers of
Latah county, published the same iden-
teal list, from the same identical copy,
auditor, and by padding or stretching,
or whatever best describes the process
that results in relieving the taxpayers
of their surplus cash, made IT'S lines.
At three cents a line, if the list were
set in the ordinary way, which is the |
honest way, it would have made only |
30 lines, and cost the taxpayers $2.70.
By questionable work. the Post makes
he same matter cover 175 lines, and I

will cost the Taxpayers, if the board
