July, 1916. Seven hundred vessels.

each, were built in New England be-

were growing rich as merchants sent

Great Britain with cargoes OF Goldfish.

Yet for several genera lions to come

There were few rich men in America

STATE SENATOR GRANT
AGAINST COUNTY DIVISION

Elk River, October 9th. 1916,
Clearwater Republican, Orofno, Idaho
My opponents are circulating the
report over Clearwater county, that |
am in favor of county division, even
going so far as to state that am be-
ing financed by people in favor of
county division. | wish to publically
state that am using my own money,
and furthermore that am absolutely
opposed to any county division that
may effect Clearwater County, and
am satisfied that if Mr. LaForest and
myself are elected, it will be impos-
sible for any person or persons to get
county division measure thru the
next Legislature effecting this county.
The people of Elk River are the
only ones that are really distant from
the County seat. and feel that the
taxpayers over the county are willing
that we should have roads next year
that are at least passable in the sum-
mer time, and the building of the
new road from the mouth of Elk
Creek to Elk River will give US a
chance to get to the county seat with
out being obliged to go into the State
of Washington. With these improve
ments there ought not be a single tax
payer in Elk River who would favor
county division.
Yours Truly,

Killing the Goose.


Today the worst foes of American
workingmen are of their own house,
hold. They are the men who have
persuaded the workers in certain
trades in New York to go on SYM
pathetic strike. The whole future of
organized workingmen is bound up
with the future of American industry.
Expanding industry means high wages
and prosperity. Decadent industry
means redundant labor supply, with
stationary or falling wages and dis
tress and want on the margin of the
industrial field. If American work.
men are to prosper. more and more of
society's savings must be invested in
shops and machinery. And they will
be SO invested in proportion as such
investment looks safe to investors.
The sympathetic strike means just
this to the manufacturer that he
can not insure the loyalty and fidelity
OF his workmen to him by his owr
loyalty and fidelity to them.-St'
Louis Republic.

SERMON FOR MEN BY
REV. j. c. SMOTRERS

The text for Rev. Smothers' SER
mon to men Sunday evening was Dan.
1:s but Daniel purposed in his
heart that he would not defile him
SELF Rev. Smothers said GER
tain minister was unexpectedly call
ed to preach to the prisoners in state
peniteniary and when he came before
them he said, II do not know, men,
why | am here. ! do not know what

children, were taught by their moth
ers that little prayer Now | lay me

noise in the crowd and man with a
ball and chain cried out That's me !!
thst's me - The speaker went on to
say taht men are forgetting God, for
getting their Christian training and
Christian parents and neglecting
their Christian duties and forsaking
the church by absenting themselves
from the church and Withholding their
support. Once they superintendent the
Sunday school before they came West
to make money; once they were in
their place in the choir every Sabbath

of God to serve him and bless human

school teaching them the way of life
and molding character and fixing the
destiny of those over whom God had
appointed them. Once they found
their way to the morning service Of

posed in his heart that he would live
as clean life and as devoted life
in Babylon as he did in Jerusalem.
Daniel would not sacrifice his religi-
Gus principles for popularity or be-
cause he would seem odd or be ridi-
culed for his stand. The speaker
mentioned Joseph as another young
man away from home subjected to
temptation which has caused many
a man to fall, but Joseph ran out of
the house and cried out to his tempter,
"How can | do this awful sin and sin
against God?' Shadrach Meshac h
and Abenego were away from home
but they had enough manhood and
Christian integrity not to go with the
higher ups. True, they were cast in
the fiery furnace but God went thru
with them and they were unframed.
God never will allow man to go thru
a furnace of persecution or insult and
ostracism alone, and if God is on the
side of man he is more than can be
against him.
The speaker then went on to speak
of the double standard society had set
up and declared it was false and
not Biblical; that whatever is wrong
for young woman to do is wrong for
her brother, the young man, and while
society condemns and ostracises the
woman who sins, and soon forgets the
sins of the man, the man, in Gods
sight, regains character no sooner
than woman. He then went on to
advise young men be homes, keep
good company, to study their Bibles.
He told of young man he knew who
promised his sweetheart he would
give up bad habit, but he was dis
honest with her, she found it out and
he lost the girl he intended to make
his wife, and also lost his job and the
chance of learning trade.
He spoke of the two lawyers who
staked their money, one wagering
that he could repeat the Lord s prayer,
the other betting five dollars he could
mt. When all was ready the mar
began "Now lay me down to sleep
ETC., and the other lawyer turned to
the man holding the money and said,
well, he does know it. Give him
the money" The speaker deploreo
the neglect of the Bible. He de.

An American would put a bunch OF
cherry blossoms into a vase, upright;
Japanese would place the branch in

occupy in growing.
The Japanese idea of flower ar

of them punched together.
