BEWARE OF THE SENSATION MONGER

1t is unfortunate that sensation mongers cannot be
completely suppressed at least for the period of the
war. Censorship along this line would be really worth
while.
Last week story was sent broadcast the coun-
try to the effect that the council of defense of the
state of Washington had appealed Utah $4,000 to
assist in stamping bootleggng at Camp Lewis
This serious that Governor Lister of Wash
ingon felt it telegraph Governor Bam-
berger of Utah branding the report false. In his
message Governor Lister said
Il regret that your state council of defense
has placed itself in the position if press dispatches
quote its members correctly, of giving publicity to
statement false in every particular and write
to say that believe retracton ought to be made
by your council of Defense and given just as much
publicity in the newspapers the false
statement issued by that body"
Friends and relatives of the at Camp Lewis
especially glad to know that everything possible
is being done to stamp out vice and intemperance in
and around the camp They will indorse every legti-
mate that end But it is little criminal
to harrow up their feelings with canards this
referred above and the Governor of Washington will
be commended far and wide for his prompt action in
the matter

They bore down heavily upon Injuries
Pleasure riding in automobiles, for
example, soon became bad form; any
who persisted in it were presently
reached for by the long arm of the
government. In this country automo-
bile owners have been requested to
give up driving for pleasure, in order
to save gasoline. Is there any evil
dence that they are complying? No
one could think so who saw the end

But if there is not such saving vol

Soldier MOrtals

The mayor of Seattle has been con
WINGED, apparently, that moral condi

provement. He has been led to this
conviction, evidently, by the threat OF
General Greene to prohibit all soldiers
at Camp Lewis from visiting Mayor
ellis town. That would be a calamity
from Seattle's point of view.
So indeed 1t would be calamity
from the point of view of any city To-
Gated near an cantonment. Portland is
not spotless town, and it is promised
by Mayor Baker that something will
be done here. It must be done.
Bat how much can be done if the

of home and the teachings of parents,
in search of entertainment, and pc
culiarly susceptible to the allurements

everywhere How many invitations,
open or covert, to engage in a flirta-
tious adventure has such a young
man in the course of day or night in

any city?

The health and morals of the Amer

but to his country. The best way to

A Phenomenal Season

Picking green string beans and GU
cumbers in October is something I'M
usual for the Genesee country, but
that is what gardeners have been do
ing for the past few weeks. The rain
coming after the dry season started
everything to growing again and
green vegetables were had from the
same vines for the second time for the
season. Another unusual sight on
the ranches is that of harvesting and
seeding being done at the same time.
The wheat has begun to green up in
many of the fields and the hills pre-
sent an unusually beautiful land

THE CIRCULATION CONTEST

The Star-Mirror circulation contest was completed
O'Clock Saturday evening Elsewhere in this issue
the paper will be found the result of the voting.
1t was with considerable hesitancy that the pub
Usher entered into contract to put this contest
There widespread feeling that all such contests
crooked; that they are utilized medium for
gambling and trickery and that honest effort has
of a reward
Unfortunately there is foundation this feeling
but is not justified in all because the honesty
of the contest is dependent in very large
the honesty and strength of character of the contest
manager At all TIMES he is conversan with the rel
atve standing of the several contestants 1t is within
his power in the closing hours of the contest to tp
off, the relative standing for consideration thus
enable the contestant with the greatest amount of cash
to win the larger prize Or he is in position to play
contestant against another and in this way obtain
from them large amounts for subscriptions that
not legitimate
The outcome of The Star-Mirror contest just closed
is sufficient testimonial to the honesty and integrity
of character of Mr. and Mrs R. S. Coe who conducted
the contest without further word from the publisher
The young lady who won the grand prize did so by
hard, sustained work from the beginning of
test the close The other contestants worked faith
fully and hard but they handicapped by entering
late by other pressing duties by being discouraged
by stories to the effect that newspaper contests
dishonest, and that avortes carry
off the valuable prizes
The main objects Of the publisher have been
tanned in the contest just closed The circulation of
both the daily and the weekly StarNIirror has been
terially increased and extended, thus making them
much more valuable to the community positive forces
in all legitimate progressive moves and at the
time more valuable to the merchants of the
ity advertising mediums.
To the contestants, the contest manager and to the
public the publisher extends sincere thanks for their
hearty cooperation in contributing to the success of
the contest
