there is nothing man is as jealous
of as his moods.
Of course, if he should deign to
share them with you all well and
good, but l am going to tell Mollie to
be very chary of saying What is the
matter, DEAR" when she sees frown
on her husbands face. 1t is like shak-
ing a red rag at bull to ask this
question of Dick and it took me years
to learn it.
Advice about another thing, which
one sees so often exploited in the
Woman's magazines and the wOman's
pages of the newspapers, should be
suppressed. And that is that wife
should always greet her husband with
a smile, when. he comes home tired
from business, and try to interest him
in something outside the daily grind.
This sounded perfectly splendid be-
fore l was married, but like many
other of those wonderful things that
are advised women by old maids or
epicure creatures of alleged male per-
suasion it does not work out.
Whats on your mind that you
should have that Cheshire cat GRIM"

grouchy mood. And 1 answered like

Religion For a Cloak

1t is disreputable scondrel who
will attempt to use the Catholic or
any other church as cloak to cover
up crooked conduct. The church that
permits it will suffer for its folly.
An effort is being made to embroil
Orofino in a religious row. The
gang are now trying to make it APP
pear that all who have opposed the
appointment of p. H. Blake for post
master at 0rofao we done so
through prejudice for the Catholic
church, and because Mr.. Blake is a
Catholic. Which is untrue, and the
Clearwater Republican challenges
anyone to produce an iota Of evidence
to justify such a position. The Re-
publican denies that there is any
special prejudice in Orofino among
the citizens against the Catholic
church. We deny that the fact that
Mr.. Blake was Catholic had any
thing whatever to do with the citizens
generally, and if the question of re-
ligiOn was ever raised we have
never heard of it.
At Orofino as in many other places
are some who have no use for Catho-
lies or the Catholic church, but to ac-
cuse an entire community of anti
Catholic tendencies because there are
some who hold such views, is unjust,
unfair, and out of place. When
men, covered with moral slime, dis
credited in community because of
their own misdeeds, use the church as
a cloak to shield themselves, and
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1915-03-26

when their own disreputable conduct
brings them public scorn, losing them
public respect and confidence, it is an
outrage for such men to cloth them
selves with the garb of church and
howl that the people of Orofino are
fighting them because they are men,
bers of the Catholic church. 1t is a
lie.
The people opposed the appointment
of Mr.. Blake because they said he
was addicted to the excessive use of
Intoxicating liquors; that he did not
have the confidence of the patrons of
the office, and was therefore not a
proper person to hold the position of
post master. What had this to do
with Mr.. Blake's religion?
The Clearwater Republican bears
no malice towards Catholics or any
other denomination. We regret the
attempt on the part of the gang that
has misruled, and desire to continue
to misrule Clearwater county, to
drag the citizens of Orofino into a
bitter church fight that has no founda
tion in fact in the hearts Of a great
majority of the people. 1t is an out
rage that should not be tolerated for
one moment.
If man is bootlegger; if man
is boozer, a scoundrel, crook, a
CRATER, gangster, shyster, the
people Of Orofino have no use for such
one, whether they belong to the
Methodist, the Baptist, the Christian,
or the Catholic church, and it would
be no credit to any religious body to
