DO YOUR CHILDREN ATTEND

Attendance In the Orofno Sunday
schools liz not up TO standard. Many
children and most of the adults OF
Or0fino are getting careless. con-
dition Of which the town cannot be
very proud. Parents may not belong
to church but they are interested In
the moral being of their children.
and the Sunday school Is the one in
stitution that fills this place In the
community life. Only the good,

can II but help the child and make
1t a better. happier being? Is your
hoy running the street or is he in
Sunday school? Is your child be-
taught about Christ and his moral
philosophy. or are you permitting 1t

what will your boy OF your girl say
when they have grown up and look

A Four Minuate Patriotic Speech
(By Foreign Born Patriot.)


We are at war-do not forget
The die is cast. the stake il set.
And we are out to win It,
1t In the duty now OF all
In patriotic line to fall.
And stay there every minute.
We are in earnest-don't forget;
This Is no picnic; we cannot let
This thing itself take care Of.
This greater, nobler Freedoms fight
For human happiness and right
We all must have a share of.
The call is clear to me and you
To do our best to see 1t through
To successful ending.
1t means that we must hand in hand
United. firmly. stubborn stand
While giving. going, sending.
1t is noble Dame Democracy
Against Herr Aristocracy
Her daring sons now leading
To final victory DER the tops
And Williams bullets cannot stop
That army from succeeding.
List! Kaiser Bill, if still alive
Take my advice and stop this drive
Which naught but failure spells;
Take Hindenburg and Bernstorff, go,
With BEARDED Tirpitzs. none too slow
To Hades heated cells.

A QUESTION OF MOTIVE.

1t is all matter of motive. A
thing may be treason or not. ac-
cording to the motive behind the |
act or word. Gum Shoe Bill Stone
calls Roosevelt traitor for criti-
cising the administration. And they
are sending some to jail for talking
disrespectfully of Wilson. Now, how
are we to determine what is i'm
proper and what is legitimate crit
icism? To our way of thinking ii
is all matter Of motive. 1t is all
a matter of whether one is patriotic
and criticises because of an honest
desire to correct abuses and help
the country, or criticises because of
q desire to injure or destroy the
government. Roosevelt nrst offered
his life in behalf of his country; he
has tried repeatedly to go to France
as a soldier; he has several sons at
the front. He would give his life
freely and gladly to his country.
He is a patriot, II America has any
man worthy this title. He Is
statesman, and burns with shame
when he sees his country led to
sure and certain destruction. which
was the truth when Mr.. Wilson was
facing war and defeat, yet talked
like child Of Peace at any
Price," TOO Proud to Fight" and
capped the climax by serenely. with
Germany already destroying our
ships and numbering our people.
boasting of He Kept Us Out or
War" Roosevelt had the statesman
ship and the courage to point out
the safe, sane course. and the only
course that any nation could have
travelled and hope to avoid this
war-preparedness. And who will
say that lack of preparedness didn't
invite war? Who can say now that
instead of keeping rs out of war
Mr.. Wilson really got us into war?
And in the face of facts, which of
these men-Wilson or Roosevelt--is
the real statesman. which the man

The best argument in the world
for universal military training is
found in the physical, moral and
mental condition and attitude of our
boys after short stay at Camp
Lewis. 1t has done wonders, If we
may judge by the young men them
selves. And they told us that mill
tary training demoralizes and ruins
boys. Compare the condition OF the
boys you have seen, before and after
a few months training, and you
have all the argument you ought to
require. Compulsory military train
ing must become law in the Unit
ed States. And 1t is the greatest
school of patriotism in the world.

Why tolerate the 1. w. W.? In
the raids conducted by the govern
ment last fall it was positively es-
tablished that the l. w. w. had de-
stroyed most of the threshers in the
Palouse country. In the files at the
headquarters in Chicago was found
the record of many of these fires in
Whitman county, Wash, harvest
fields. That the I. w. w. is guilty
there can be no doubt. Then why
tolerate it? Why permit it to oper-
ate openly and defantly in Spo-
kane? Why permit this criminal
gang to have its headquarters in
Spokane from which vantage poht
to carry on open warfare against
the rest Of the Northwest? Spokane
has become the breeding ground for
sedition, treason and disloyalty; for
crime and lawlessness; for open war
on Northern Idaho farmers, lumber
men, and others. And if Spokane
will not stop this why not put Spo-
kane on the blacklist and boycott
it? If the business men of the out
side territory, upon which Spokane
lives, will unite in boycotting Spo-
kane until it cleans house, it will
clean out that bunch in quick order.

Preserving Flower.

A method of preserving the natu-
raj cOlOrs Of flowers consists In dust
ing salicylic acid on the plants as they
lie in the press and removing 1t with
brush when the flowers are quite
dry. Red colors In particular are well
preserved by this agent. Another meth
cd of applying the same preservative
Is to use a solution Of one part Of
salicylic in fourteen Of alcohol by
means of blOtting-paper or cotton
wool soaked in it and placed above and
below the flowers. Powdered boracit
acid yields nearly rs good results.

GOOD AND BAD GOVERNMENT

terests of the people, and treat their

county was in the clutches of a

deceived the people shamefully, and
traded county offices like a bunch of
travelling gypsies swapping horses.

cratic county chairman, one Patrick
