Sentimental Reaction.

Moonlight on the rippling wave:
Sunshine in the sky;
Blossoms lingering stout and bray'
And birds that gayly fly.
Even charms like yours must fade
AS the fields grow brown
Hear the family serenade.
Take me back to town..
Old and young all feel the thrill
Pulsing through each VEN
AS they hear the whistle shrill
From a distant train.
Put the fishing line away,
Get the store clothes" down.
Vacation is no more, they say,
Than exile from the town.

The proposition of paving our streets

this matter under consideration is now
well known throughout the north vest.
The eyes of the whole country are up
on us. People in other towns are
saying that Moscow is progressive and
is getting to be a fine little city, and
we even find citizens of other towns
admitting that they would like to live
in Moscow. And suppose when the
matter of paving is presented, we vote
it down? A nice impression it will
give. What will the outside world
think of orr people? What will we
think of ourselves? A community that
is satisfied with streets that are a
disgrace to any town, will make a
sorry showing beside towns like Col
fax where the people are really pro-
gressive 1t will look nice to the out
side world to read: Moscow citizens
are opposed TO paved streets" BY

We could not. And more than inter

BEHEAD CHICKENS

chickens with their heads cut off will
replace the customary instruction OF
witnesses, Hold up your right hand, .
followed by the usual, do you solemn
ly swear=?" and a few mumbled
words from the clerk of the court.
Under the laws Of Oregon, where
person is sworn who believes in any
other than the Christian religion, he
may be sworn according to the peculiar
ceremonies Of his religion, if there be
any such"
The provision of the Oregon code,
ly if ever been put into effect. In the
present instance, however, the district
attorneys office states that counsel for
the state intends to insist that the
Chinese witnesses in giving oath do it
according to their own customs. 1t
is stated that in China when witness
is sworn an executioner cuts the head
off a fowl, the significance being that
the witness invites like fate should
he deviate from the truth
The murder of which the defendants
are accused is that of the Chinese
whose body was found in trunk in
the Seattle depot in January last.

THE COAL STRIKE.

Coal mining is one of the hardest,
dirtiest, and most dangerous Of our
American industries. There can be no
question, also, that it is underpaid.
One who has been raised in a coal mi
ming district has seen from almost the
primary grades, his fellows in school
drop out and take their places beside
their fathers in the great task of ma
king a living, for the coal miners, who
are a sturdy people, have big families,
and many mouths to feed. One has
seen a father and son, the boy, say II,
knock out $50 for two weeks work.
Good wage that But not so good,
when one understands, that the ia
Their and son were given a place in the
mine where that could be done, for
no other reason than that they were
always in debt to the company store.
Such work was not steady, remember,
and if the miner undertook to be thrift
ty and save, he found himself suddenly
put into a room, where, in the mar
the barest living was impossible.
This was after the state laws of
Iowa had abolished script" payments
Nor did the coal company own the
dents and it's superintendent did, and
the pit bosses" were given their
"rake-off' in a deal that enriched the
officials and kept the miners poor
So the boys went to work early in
life Some of the. left the third and
fourth grades to be ''trapper boys"
and open the bulk-heads by which the
mines air is regulated, before the cars
of coal. They grew up in the pit,
worked in the CRIME ana wet, and I'M
educated, followed in the calling of
their fathers.
Yet out of this life, by sheer force
of their birthright of character, have
risen two of the greatest figures in the
modern labor world: John Mitchell,
former president of the mine-w workers,
and John P White, now the head of
that organization, and the man whose
executive force will determine the
success of the miners demands for |
an eight-hour day and living wage |
Neither Mitchell nor White had a
common school education, but both |
possessed that ability and force of
character that is born to lead Mitchell
is the better known, perhaps the more
polished but John P. White is a man
of rugged, sterling honesty, force of
purpose, and great executive ability.
Under his management the Iowa coal
miners between 1900 and 1906 accum-
ulated defense fund of 100000 and
during his presidency of the Iowa
unions, there was no trouble, no
strikes.
Under such a leader men do not Is

CALL THE BLUFF.

The law compels the publication
every year of the financial condition
of every school district in the county
Last year an effort was made, and ev-
en- threats were sent out, to compel the
publication of these official notices in
the official county paper There
is nothing in the law giving the official
county paper a monopoly on this work,
for it may be legally published in any
paper in the county. Every newspaper
in Latah county should take notice of
this fact and see that their respective
districts are not again bamboozled in
to sending local business, that belongs
to the local printer, to the county seat.

ALL WORLDS EVANGELISTS
COULDN'T SAVE GOTHAM

NEW YORK, Mar. 30.-"If every
great evangelist in the world came to
New York and camped upon Manhat-
tan, the whole lot of them could not
evangelize this town. They don't get
to the men,"
This was the statement of Fred 3.
Smith, leader of the Men and Religion
this:
This are scandalized nation to
the ends of the earth. There is no
corner of the world where the low
standard of morals of the men OF the
American nation are not known and
commented upon"
Smith and the men who have enlist
ed under his MISUNDERSTANDING men
into closer touch with religion-have
encountered numerous difficulties.
Smith says they started to reach their
goal in manner somewhat like that
followed by evangelists. 1t didn't get
results. Men would not take religion
when they could taste it, so he and his
followers began trying to interest
them through publicity and obtaining
their attention through suppers that
filled them comfortably and opened
their minds to accept religious teach
ing-a sort of capsuled spiritual meet
ing.
I'VE give them a decent good time

are doing, and first thing you know Mr.

And that's what we've been trying
to do and with considerable success"
continued Mr.. Smith. You have been
noticing a great deal more news about
religious movements during the last
few weeks than ever before. 1t is
resulting from making religion an in

are looking for from that publicity is

NEW YORK, Mar. 30.-Newspapers
generally were both highly praised and
severely criticised by three speakers
at the regular meeting of the Council
! OF Jewish Women. The influence OF
newspapers on children was being dis
cpssed, and Joseph T. Williams of the
Charities Organization society, who
has been studying juvenile delinquen-
cy for more than year, gave some
examples of newspaper treatment OF
the subject from clippings he had
brought with him.
He considered the heroic" treat
ment of the boy thief a very bad thing,
and the "non-heroic" treatment unjust
to the child, as it branded him a GRIM
iEal before the law actually recognized
him as one. Then Mrs. Clarence E.
Meleney spoke of the influence of the
newspaper in the home, contending
that there the press appeared in a
much better light.
Il hold to the old view of the fam
ily," said Mrs. Meleney, and consider
it a part of the fathers duty to know
the news that is in the morning pa
per and to discuss it intelligently with
the children. The attitude the parents
take toward the paper will determine
very largely it's effect on the children.
They should come to think OF it as a
purveyor Of things they ought to
know.
q think the press ought really to be
commended for the great amount of

SYSTEM HELPED THEM.

If the ideas of some peewee muck
raking editors and wculd-be politicians
had been made the policy of the gov
ernment fifty years ago, and con-
sistently followed, this country would
today be a bowling wilderness. The
right to dispose of land would have
Teen denied the citizens, and thereby
the right to acquire land could not
have been. Some of those who are
loudest in their denunciation of pres
ent day conditions and the system"
would never have had the opportunity
to acquire the three or four hundred
acres of Palouse soil they now own.
Hundreds of others would never have
had their Opportunity to get start.

The Star Mirror dishes are worth
$14 at any store in the country And
they are worth that money. But to
make it an object for people to pay
III. their subscriptions in advance they
are, upon the payment of 81 in addi-
ton to the price of the paper, given a
set of dishes. Add 81 to the price of
tho paper and you have the cost of
the daily one year with a set of dishes.
In other words, you get the paper a

about the value of the dishes alone.
