THE TOURNAMENT A SOCIAL
FACTOR

Coach Edmundson is to be commend
ed for the inauguration of basket
ball tournament for north Idaho, and
the success of the first one which
closed this afternoon makes certain
the Frightening of many more ath-
1etic seasons with similar events.
. The bringing together of the high
school athletes of this section for an
annual contest is to be another fac
tor in welding north Idaho into a
harmonious social whole, and prom
ises to take up an angle of the prob
lem that might have otherwise been
overlooked.
The event will be hereafter looked
forward to with pleasant and eager
anticipation by not only the competing
teams and the student bodies but by
the older people as well.

To the Editor of the Star-Mirror:
The hand bills entitled, "The Re-
vival" which were distributed this
morning are disgrace to the city of
Moscow and an insult to many Chris
tian people of this and other towns.
If the kind Of gospel is being preached
at the Baptist church that prompts
the issuing of such bulletins as the one
referred to, then it is the opinion of
the writer that those people who stay
away will. be the better off. Some of
my most sincere friends here in Mos
cow and in other places are Christian
Scientists and Unitarians, and are
just as good Christians and as desir-
able citizens as any member of any
other faith. I resent most bitterly
the CHASING Of these people in the
same category with the adulterer, Sc
Queer, unclean, murderer, etc. 1t is
an insult to them to be so classed and
an insult to me to have such liter
ature left at my door.
My idea of Christianity does not
prompt the attack of one creed upon
another. LET him that is without
sin cast the first stone" Under those
conditions the first stone will not be
cast by the writer of such contempt
ible sheet as the one handed out this
morning.

FRENCH AGAIN REPULSE

All the important infantry fighting
last night in the western war theatre

where attacks by the Germans In the
Aisne and Champagne sectors, as we'll

by General Petain's troops.
There is promise of a speedy re-

Our progress toward the quarters of

John Hafner was orderly of the bar

Romance of Mail
Route Results in
Autumn Wedding

Emil Steen, a veteran mail carrier,
was not delivering mail Wednesday.
Employees at the postoffice were sur
prised Wednesday morning by the an
nouncement Of the wedding of Steen
and Mrs. Florence Nessmith, an agent
for an insurance company. The two
were married by Rev. H. S. James at
the United Brethren parsonage Tues
day evening at 1880 o'clock. The we'd
ding marked the elimination of a ro-
nance that began some time ago when
Steen became acquainted with Mrs.
Nessmith through delivering mail to
her.
Steen is one Of the oldest carriers in
the Richmondpost office and is widely
known. This is his second marriage.
His bride had been married three
times.
