Another telegram came. We had
to pull out chunk to make room for
the new story.
1t was 945 when we finally got the
matter in hand, and the forms on the

A TINE TO BE CONSERVATIVE

The notice served upon this country
by Germany that unrestricted subma-
rine warfare would be resumed, and
the results that may grow out of such
resumption, may call for great re-
straint upon the part of all the citizens
of this county. A very large part of
the people of this county are German
born or of German ancestry. Many
of them have been In this country but
a few years Their sympathies are
all with Germany and they ardently
and honestly believe that Germany
was forced into the war to preserve
her national life, and fighting not only
her own battle. but the battle of hui
mainly. Right or wrong, these people
are sincere They are bound to Ger
many by ties of blood. and their SYM
pathies are a natural result of condi-
tons.
We have another large element of
population which is just as honest and
sincere in its beliefs that Germany
is the aggressor, and precipitated the
war for the purpose of extending her
territorial possessions. They are
bound to the Allies by ties of blood,
and their sources of information are
ally sources. They could not be differ
ept than they are.
With such conditions prefailing,
there is great danger of individual and
community friction which will serve
no good purpose The situation calls
for personal privileges of those with
whom we may disagree. No end will
be attained by discussions between
radical members of either element, and
much that is harmful to the peace of
the community may come from such
discussions. !
it is a good time to remember that
freedom of speech and belief is guar
anteed in this country. Also that your
rights are equal to but no greater than
those of any other citizen. Each citizen |
is entitled to his own opinions. but the |
same principle which cOnfers this right
upon him imposes the obligation upon
him to respect the rights of those who
may ont agree with him-American

OUR HIGHWAY PROBLEM.
An Ohio Idea In Construction of-Per-
manent Country Roads.

An Ohio Idea In Construction of-Per-
manent Country Roads.
The economic reaction of automobile
development is obviously in better
| roads, says the Wall Street Journal.
But the tremendous waste of funds,
long in progress through unsound high
way engineering or through lack of en-
cheering advice tends to perpetuate
nance and relatively little proportion
ately in the way of permanent results.
Standardized methods of road con-
struction and a standard system of
classifying highways are needed. No
system of classifying highways is bet
ter than that of traffic density. 1t is
should be instituted by state highway
officials to determine the present main
routes of travel. Just as in railroad
evolution, density of traffic determines
the amount of investment, so highways
should be classified on the basis of
density of traffic into trunk lines, main
lines and feeders.
In railroading a light traffic is han
died by a single line of track with
switches; main line traffic is handled
by double tracks. Trunk lines handling
heavy traffic are sometimes four track
ed. six tracked and even eight tracked.
The solution reached i'll the con-
struction of permanent country roads
around Cleveland is instructive. 1t is
similar to the solution followed in rail-
way evolution. The right of way for
the highway lies between two fences
sixty feet, more or less, apart. Econ
omy is obtained by building the per-
manent highway one-half as wide,
leaving the balance of the dirt road
for the present as before.
In rairoading it is an axiom that
the capacity of a single track of rail
way with sufficient switches and uni
form speed of trains Is practically I'M
limited. In Cuyahoga county, o., hun
dreds of miles of permanent country |
roads of narrow widths are being |
built, using a special type of brick |
which is produced cheaply in that To-
cality for the surface, set upon cement |
Future generations may |
widen these country auto tracks If
they so desire. but they will act more
wisely if they invest the money in an
equal number of miles of new narrow
roads of permanent construction to act
rs feeders.
A twelve foot permanent road Is
Dassable summer and winter for the
harvest loads. The dirt road lies to
me side of the new trackway just as
before. The country needs thousands
IF miles of narrow roads of permanent
intersecting as feeders
With the wider main lines and truck
ines. Such feeders need not be wider
han twelve feet. The advantages are
lain. Not only are such roads pass
lble summer. fall. winter and spring
or the harvest loads. but they are
llso permanent
And. above all. they are a state and
undertaking and not sub
ect for federal endowment.

WE ARE GLAD TO EXPLAIN.

COLONEL CHILDERS is bowling
about yesterdays little affair
and claims we attempted to assas-
sinate him.
While we have lived here too long
for any solid business man to be-
PLANTATION is perhaps due to all par
ties.
The Cause.
The coloneFs wife is poetess.
That is, she has copied poetry from
standard poets and brought it to us
as original, and it has been pub
lished as such in the Kicker
On several occasions we have sus-
pected that all was not right, but
we are kind hearted and willing to
give a poetess a show.
Yesterday morning she brought in
a poem entitled 1.-The Old Oaken
Bucket" We thought we'd heard it
somewhere, but she assured us that
it was strictly original
She hadn't been gone half an hour
when our literary editor, who also
thought he had heard of such q
poem, found that our suspicious
were correct. The poetess had sto-
len the whole thing.
The Effect.
The colonel happened TO be pass
ing by, and we called him in and
broke the news as gently as posi-
BILE.
He flew mad in a moment and at
temped to draw on us.
1t turned out, however, that he
had left his gun at home, and we
held him up against the wall and
slit his right ear and let him go.
That is the whole story.

At 1920 the first ten copies of the
extra were sold.
At 1920 we started the press again
and the business office never made a
sound.
At II o'clock the business office fig
ured the profit at $500, and at noon
the press was started third time and
ground out a dollar and six bits with
hardly any effort at ALL
Of course, as profit is figured, that
wasn't much money, but the Star

people appreciated it. That was the

SUNRISE EDITION
POOR OLD DADDY.

ONE of the funniest things that
~ ever happened in this town was
pulled off in good shape Tuesday
afternoon.
On Monday we got a key of red
ink from Chicago, being the first
thing of the sort ever seen in this
town or, for that matter, in this
part of the state.
His jealousy.
Our esteemed contemporary down
the street has had great many
things to bear from us, and the red
ink was the last straw.
He sent us word that he was 60
ing to shoot US on sight, but we'd
forgotten about it when we start
ed for the postoffice at 3 o'clock.
AS we passed Santa F'e alley we
heard a pistol go off, followed by
several successive reports, but as
there was nothing unusual in a fu-
SHADE of that sort we kept on.
1t was not until we had entered
the postoffice that Colonel Irwin
came running in to inform us that
we had been shot at.
\.
His Humiliation.
1t seems our esteemed contempo-
rary ambushed us at the alley and
fired his first shot.
Then he followed on and plugged
away five times more without us sus-
pecting it, and finding he could not
accomplish anything he sat down
on a barrel and cried like boy.
When we understood the case we
went back and offered to stand
against the wall and let him pop
away for half a day, but he went
off in g. petulant spirit without even
thanking us.
Poor old daddy! NJ. QUAD.

After more than forty years
of solitary confinement in a
veritable dungeon in the Massa-
chusetts State Prison, Jesse Ii.
Pomeroy has been granted the
meagre privileges extended to
other cOnvicts. When but a
mere boy Pomeroy was sent to
prison for life for a series of
heinous crimes, and during all
his confinement he was as
signed to a lonely cell, where
he never saw another human
being other than his keepers.
His long term in the prison has
reduced him to an aged and in
firm man, but withal he hopes
that some day he will be granted
a full pardon. The accompany
ing sketches show the unfortu-
nate convict in his cell and 60
ing to his new freedom.

GETTING OUT AN EXTRA
Some Inside Dope on The Star-AIirr-
or's Saturday Morning War Extra

The StarMirrOr management wishes
to thank the people of Moscow for the
support given the war extra Saturday
morning. At best publication of extras
in a town this size is not a profitable
venture; but it is the purpose of the
Star-Mirro to furnish the news to it's
patrons while it is news and as COM

is given as it was Saturday this is
possible

publishing business, realize the high
speed at which a mediums sized shop

publish an extra
At o'clock Saturday morning the
force gathered as usual and began the
regular routine. At $40 the first
United Press dispatch announcing the
break with Germany was received.
A few minutes later the editorial de-
partment oiled up it's typewriter, the
manufacturing department began to
hunt for some large letters and the
business office took out it's long pen
Gil and began to figure the cost.
By the time the second paragraph of
the telegram was written in the edi
torial office, the linotyper had set the
first paragraph, and the clock struck

Then gradually she got on her

new mother heard another mothers
plea and answered it.
That was all two or three weeks
ago. The little chap went to his new
home, but things did1ltfft. He was

he was a sissy and he cried every
