FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1916.

The swift and merciless killing,
after a secret trial, of the mad
men who led the Dublin revolu-
ton was strictly within military
precedent; but so was the shoot
ing of Miss Cavell. Disinterested
observers in this country will not
fail to compare the rigid sever
ity of the treatment of the poor
school master Pearse and his fol-
lowing of dreamers and striplings
with the amiable tolerance shown
two years ago to the politicians
and generals who were ready to
offer armed resistance to the en-
forcement of an act of Parlia-
ment which met with their dis
approval. The rebel leader that
day, Sir Edward Carson is one of
the most influential men in Eng
lish public life. He selects cab
met men and threatens ministers
while the rebel leader of today is
shot within a few hours of his
surrender and his body thrown
Into the quicklime. Of course it
is no business of our people how
Britain deals with her domestic
problems. But there can be no
doubt that the execution has
created a sensation amounting to
disgust in this country. It has
distinctly modified public SYM
patty with Great Britain. The
world will listen inattentativeIy
from now on to English protests
against the summary shooting of
spies in Belgium and the mass
acre of students at Louvain, acts
for which the Germans could
plead a greater degree of mill
tary necessity than existed for
killing these Missionaries. We
pity Mr.. Redmond. His position
as leader of the Nationalist was
difficult even before this occur
ence. Now it must be almost
impossible. Golfers.

Many towns in eastern WASH

Many towns in eastern Wash
ington and Northern Idaho are
putting in street paving at a cost
of from $1.2O to to $1.35 per
square yard and of a grade
that is said to be very satisfao-
tory. Why cannot Cottonwood
investigate these pavements and
take similar action. And it might
be we'll at the same time to get
estimates on sewer work and, if
possible, bond for both paving
and sewering at the same time.
These two improvement would
do more to establish the perman-
encY of the town than anything
we know of and both are worthy
of careful investigation and con-
sideration.

Now that work has started m

Now that work has started on
the building for the creamery
and its operation is only a matter
of time steps should be taken to
provide some method of purchas-
ing a carload or two of high
quality dairy cows for distribu-
ton and sale among the farmers
of this section. Every man on a
wood ranch on Craig mountain
could handle a few good cows
and become steady patron of
the creamery if given a chance
to get the cows, and this ques-
ton should be solved for him and
others who may desire to secure
more good cows than they are
now in position to purchase.

Today the sweet girl and boy
graduates are walking among
the clouds, but they will come to
earth next week with a dull thud
when mother tells Susie to get
up and cook breakfast and father
gives John a going over for fail
ing to feed and water the pigs
and chickens. Such is life.

It is not always the one who
talks the loudest that proves the
best booster or community build
er, but at that the fellow who
talks much and does some work
is of more real value to his COM
munity than one who says little
and does nothing.

The weather we have been
having this week is quite enough
to cause one to believe this is
rapidly becoming a country of
two seasons winter and August.

Michigan had grown tired Of standpat

United States senate.
Townsend owed his election to progress

all that could have been desired and il
was because of that record that the people
chose him for a seat in the upper house,
where Townsend proceeded 10 forget all

If Burrows deserved defeat at Town
sends hands for his failure to have kept
pace with sentiment and progress at

primaries of August % for the very same
reason.
Townsend as senator has been a sore
disappointment to those who hailed the
popular nomination of United States SEN

this office closer to the people.
His representation has been mostly of
