A WORTHY JUDGE

While friends are attending to his
campaign for reelection to the Su-
preme bench, Judge Wallace Mount is
devoting what time he can spare from
his duties on the Supreme bench to
the work of gathering historical data
concerning soldiers and sailors from
the state for the Parents Association
Of American Soldiers and Sailors from
Washington.
Parents of all Washington soldiers
and sailors are eligible to member
ship in the association, one of the
purposes of which is to compile a
complete historical record of The SOL
liers and sailors from this state !;
covering all interesting points in con-
nection with their service from the
time of their enlistment to the time
of their discharge. Promotions, heroic
acts, decorations for bravery, wounds
and other data will be recorded 81
that complete personal record OF
the services Of Washington's fighters
may be preserved as a part of the
states historical records.
Because Judge Mount has two sons
who enlisted at the call Of war, he
has been active in the Organization
and work of the Parents Association
serving both as trustee and as
! chairman of the historical coramittee
in which work he is now engaged
Letters have been sent to ali mem

FAITH IN AMERICA

The following is an extract from a
letter recently received from Lieut..
Frank M. Dallam, Jr., who is still at
the artillery school at Saumer,
France, recovering from the effects
OF an operation for appendicitis, but
expecting at any time to be assigned
to duty with some field artillery regi-
ment:
be electrifying to all Americans, and
| am sure the country never was so
| Thoroughly united in one big pur-
pose as It Is now. For the first time
We, who have had every faith in our
country and countrymen. can begin
to appreciate how tremendous are our
resources in material and how splen-
did is the spirit of our people. Our
country is great in sense different
from that IN which the world hereto
fore has measured greatness. 1t is
great In its love of liberty and JUS
tice, and it's determination to see lib
erty triumph and justice established.
This war has brought about a spiritu-
al awakening in America and a spir-
itual regeneration throughout the
world. The war itself lis terribly
evil thing, made more hellish than
other wars by the savage brutality
OF the Huns. but out of this evil a
great good will flow The good can
! already hn understood. Already
America has been made to discover
itself, its true ideals and it's capacity
for putting them into effect, while
every country has been made to see
that the old order of selfish rivalries
based on narrow materialistic con-
siderations cannot continue if man.
kind Is to be freed from the dread and
horror of recurring strife. The world
is paying the price of generations of
unChristian conduct, but the price is
not too high if after this war the ma
tions and their people learn to live
more as Christ taught and less as
satan tempts."

SERIOUS ACCIDENT

Hector, the eleven-year-old son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. c. W. Smith, met with
a shocking accident last Thursday
afternoon, by the explosion of a giant
powder cap. The accident occurred
short distance south of town. Young
Smith found the cap where his father
had been doing some mining work on
the bluff just west of twon. 1t seems
that he touched lighted match to
the cap while holding it in his hand.
The explosion that followed inflicted
wounds in score of places, and tore
the clothing almost OF him. Two
young companions with Smith hast
ened to town and notified DR.. Lewis
who started at once to the scene OF
the accident. On the way he met Mrs.
Getsey bringing the wounded boy
into town, and that lady had done all
in her power to staunch the flow OF
blood, an artery having been cut and
the hemorrhage had been very great.
The boy was rushed to the hospital
for treatment Upon examination the
doctor found that the patient had been
cut in many places in the legs. body
and face. The first joint of the thumb
and forefinger of the right hand had
been blown to shreds and had to be
amputated. He found that pieces of
the metal had entered the eye, but
believes the sight will not be destroy
ed. None of the wounds were OF such
nature as to be dangerous, although
It was feared for time on account
of the shock and loss of blood the lad
might succumb to his injuries. At last
accounts young Smith was steadily
improving.

ORGANIZE FOR CAMPAIGN

Under leadership Of the bishop of
Spokane, the Right Rev. A. F. Schin-
ner, the Catholics of the 16 counties
in eastern Washington, comprising
his diocese, will be thoroughly organ
lied for the campaign to raise our
portion of the $17O,500,O0O asked Of
the nation for united war work which
begins November II and continues to
November 49,
Forty-six priests in the diocese are
honorary chairmen of the drives
among the Catholic population In
their localities and from the pulpits
of SO churches appeals will be heard
for generous contributions to the war
and welfare work n the cantonments
seas.
At least 500 workers will be re-
cruited from these churches in the
Spokane diocese to solicit funds for
the organizations recognized by the
national government. These workers
will be instructed that upon their
diligence and responsiveness depends
in part the continued efficiency over
seas of the Y. M. C. A., Young Wom-
ems Christian association, of the Ma
tional Catholic War Council (Knights
of Columbus), of the Jewish Welfare
board, the War Camp Community
service, the American Library asso-
citation and the Salvation Army.
These Catholic workers will be
drafted by the united war work cam
paign committees.
1t is well for the contributor to
realize that the work is not sectarian.
that of every SIT contributed through
the efforts of the workers, Catholic,
Protestant or Jew, $40 goes to the
Y. M. c. A., SO to the National Catho-
lie War Council, and amounts in pro-
portion to their needs to the other
activities. The drive made through
the medium of the Catholic popula-
ton, under the direction of Bishop
Schinner, is purely nonsectarian in It's
purpose, is ultra-American and pa
triotic.
In every diocese a cabinet, with the
bishop as president, has formed to
further this great work. Bishop
Schinner has named T. A. f. Lally as
Diocesan chairman, and the Rev. w.
w. Fitzgerald diocesan secretary. The

raised In the world. Is $1,705 900, just
one-hundreth Of the amount the ma
tion is asked to subscribe This sum
has been apportioned equitably to the
various cities and Counties of the
state and every citizen will be asked
to subscribe his individual share to
give to the soldiers those little COM
forts and thoughtful attentions which
cannot be furnished by the army or

Every dollar will go toward fur
| nishing the soldier and sailor with
home comforts, books to read, con-
fections, tobacco and other articles
necessary to his comfort and pleas
ure. A contented soldier makes a
real fighting man. The morale of the
American soldier is the highest in the
orld. That is because he realizes
that the people are sack of him to a
man. He has the evidence of this in
the work OF the seven great welfare
