is held. The story is read, critized
and turned over to the Editor for
his criticism. He polishes up the
editorial if needed and off it goes
to the press. A policy of this
paper is interesting-no comment
on any event is made until as
hours after it has occurred This
rule has only been broken on two
occasions. Even the recent speech
of President Wilson before Con-
gress did not bring the opinion of
this paper until two days follow
ing.
Interesting too, is the fact that
the business department has no
representative at these executive
meetings.
So the newspapers of our big
cities are not all hastily put to-
gether with no idea of policy for
good.

Reports from the New Castle
County Office in Purnell Hall show
the work in this county to be pro-
crossing splendidly. The Board
under the direction of Mr.. Wright,
hopes to register the CONSUMPTION
list in rural New Castle without
any cost to the Federal govern
ment, and to date this idea has
been carried out. Members of the
BOARD are devoting their entire
time to the work They have spent
three days in touring the county
in search of registrars who will be
acceptable and will serve without
pay. The board names the entire
registration board in each election
district, but after picking a chief
registrar, he is consulted as to as
sistants, and if acceptable to the
board they are named.
In all but few hundreds all
the registrars have been selected
The entire list will probably be
completed and announced by
Thursday. The headquarters for

open from 9 o'clock in the morn

CONSUMPTION will be gladly answer
ed. Professors George A. Koeber
Z. H. Srager and NJ. V. G. Smith
have'volunteered to remain in the
office to answer questions.
Every chief registrar who has
been appointed to date has agreed
to report to the headquarters in
Newark for instructions at any
time specified by the board, and all
have volunteered their services.
One of the largest American flags
in use in the State has been placed
in front of Purnell Hall to call at
tention to the headquarters. Plans
are now being worked out to get
workmen registered with the least
possible trouble. All manufacture
ing plants in Newark have agreed
to let off their workmen who are
within the CONSUMPTION age, few
at a time during the entire day.
This will be of great assistance to
the board.

ever suspended all relations with

Something for Orofino to Think About.

The Republican submits a propo-
sition for the business men of Orofino
to consider. We want to tell the
business men of our town that they
are not beginning to do the square
thing by their local papers in the
way of support. We picked up a
paper from town not far from Oro-
fino and looked it over yesterday. 1t
carries about three and half times
as much local advertising as does the
Clearwater Republican; it gets bet
ter rate than Orofino business men are
willing to pay, and yet it actually
sets no more type, and does no more
boosting for its town and its commun-
ity than does the Clearwater Republi-
can. If the Clearwater Republican
gave Orofino the kind of paper the
towns support justified Orofino would
have reason to feel ashamed of it's
local paper. And there is no reason
why the Republican. or any other
local paper, should give the town a
better local paper than the town is
willing to pay for. Orotino ought to
carry at least twice as much advertis-
ing in its local papers as it does, and
do it cheerfully. 1t owes that much
to itself.

statute making military training for
boys and young men compulsory in all
our higher graded schools. the Agri-

The High School students that have
already been trained are a living
proof of the efficacy of the training
for civil as we'll as military life.

when should that day come, the great
est need will be for officers to train
the raw army that would have to be
called to the colors
All the higher schools on the coast
should be preparing their students
with that thought in mind. The only
way to ward off war sometimes, is
to be ready to meet it.

description is highly poetical. In
Egypt the mines for gold were worked
by groups of convicts and captives

broken by fire, after which picks and
chisels were used. The miners were

That Peck Bridge.

i nat feCk DriuRe.
Elk River Sentinel: A man at
Peck writes an indignant letter to the
Orotino Republican insisting that
Clearwater county join in building a
bridge across the Clearwater river at
that place. The cost, by the way,
is estimated at about $50, OCO. He
dilates upon the enormous traffic to be
served, but does not show in what way
Clearwater county or it's people would
be benefited.
Probab y the most satisfactory solu-
ton of the difficulty Peck has in get
ting from town, which is in Nez Perez
county, to the Northern Pacific sta
ton, which is in this county. would
be for the Peck people to build toll
bridge. If the traffic is anything
like that described by the indig ant
Peckite referred to it could be oper-
ated at a profit on rates its users
could easily afford to pay.
Aro.her good method would be to
anre x both ends of the bridge and the
railway stat on, together with the
two or three sections of canyon sur
rounding the station, to Nez Perez
county and let the community fry
tremendously in it's own fat.
Peck, Peck Station and the people
of Peck are as remote and unknown to
the people of Clearwater county as
are the people of Timbuctoo or Brit
ish Ntr.h Borneo. No Clearwater
man wishes them any harm and equal
~ no Clearwater man has part or lot
in their profits or losses, their bridges
or stations or wheat crops, their auto
mobiles or roads or oxen or asses or
anything which is within their gates.
