COwardiy Business.

There is family living in Orofino
with three sons enlisted and one al
ready in the Navy. The father is i'll,
and confined in the sanitarium. The
mother, Mrs. Kate McEvers, lives in
Glenwood, our suburb, with her small
children, proud that her sons are
ready to serve their country. Uncle
Sam, when young man enlists in the
NAVY, sends the family a beautiful
card, about 8xl0 inches, stating a
member of the family is serving his
country. and Mrs. McEvers put her
card in her front window near the
street. The sight of the card evil
IDENTIFY grated the tender sensibilities
of some of Hofstede's deciples for
under cover of darkness rock was
hurled thru the wiz dow. A brave
act, but the cur dare not let the cit
liens of Orofno know his identity.
A more cowardly thing could not be
imagined, and the fellow who did it
would strike a baby or rob cripple.
But there is no danger of this fellow
fighting for his country. He is too
deficient in manhood to fight for any,
thing.

Two More SIackers Brought In.

Ingwald Berg and King Mooers,
two of Hofstede's misguided vic
Tins, who h d out and refused to reg
lister, were arrested Tuesday at the
Berg homestead and brought in by
Deputy Sheriff Jewell They are now
out on bonds. This leaves Charley
Gleason the only remaining Stacker
not yet arrested, and it is only mat
ter of time until he will be appre-
hended. There is general regret over
the failure of these young men, who
have always borne good regulations,
to obey the laws of their country, and
their misstep can be traced, we are
sure, to the influence of Hofstede,
John Dunlap and Mrs. Mooers, three
leaders in the. conspiracy to violate
the law. The young men have been
badly advised, and their advisers
ought to be made to bear the respon-
sibility for the boys who are facing
the penitentiary because of the in
fuence Of their elders.

Thad DANES Not Drowned.

The report to the effect that Thad
Daniels was drowned in the North
Fork this week is without foundation.
Thad came down from the Little
North Fork the first of the week,
starting on a small raft in company
with friend. About Dent they be.
came nervous because of the dangerous
condition of the river, and when his
parner stopped at Dent, Mr.. Daniels
took the road and hoofed it in to Oro-
fino, arriving here about Monday
evening. Bill Johnson says he
heard the report and talked to Mr..
Daniels about it before he returned to
the North Fork country Wednesday
morning. Mr.. Daniels got a horse
from the Gleasons and left Orofino
Wednesday of this week, and would
not get to the mouth of the Little
North Fork before yesterday, while
the report of his drowning was sent
to Spokane not later than Thursday
There is nothing to the report, we are
happy to assure the readers of the
Republican.

Chautauqua and War.

Chautauqua could not come at a
better time. We need something be-
sides WAR, and nothing is better
fitted to relieve the public mind of
this awful tension and bring us back
to our normal selves. By all means
go and enjoy the Chautauqua. 1t is a
fine mental, moral and social tonic
that community needs. Get sea-
son ticket and be happy.
Think of hearing lecture by Gov
ernor Carlson of Colorado for a trife
more than ten cents Do you realize
that such lecture would cost you a
dollar, and no town the size of Oro-
fino can get attractions of this char
acter except thru the cooperative plan
of the Chautauqua. Consider, then,
an attraction like the Military Band,
a big, first class musical organization,
coming to little village our size.
Except we cooperate thru Chautau-
qua it would be an irridescent dream,
and yet they are coming and on the
season ticket plan it costs bit,
twelve and half cents, to hear the
band. Think of hearing % different
entertainments for ST. so! But why
waste space? Get your season ticket
and take in Chautauqua. Cant afford
it! You can't afford to miss it. Get
on your glad rags and come to Chau-
tauqua.
