A mirror which magnifies at any dis

been perfected by an Erie (Pa.) manu-

CHAPTER Vii-ContInued.

Mr.. Starr on Thursday morning had
taken the early eastbound train to
Burlington. He attended the evange-
list1c services at the tabernacle In the
afternoon and evening. and then went
to bed at the hotel. He slept late the
next morning. When he finally ap-
peared the clerk came at once from
behind the desk to speak to him. Two
or three other guests. who had been
loungtng about, drew near.
We've Just been reading about your
girls, SIR" said the clerk respectfully.
TITS a pretty nervy little bunch! You
must be proud Of them!"
my girlsr" calculated Mr.. Starr.
Haven't you seen the morning pa
peri You're Mr.. Starr. the Methodist
minister at Mount Mark. aren't your
II am! But what has happened to
my girls7 Ii anything wrong1 Give
me the paperl"
Five minutes later Mr.. Starr and his
suitcase were In a taucab speeding
toward Union station, and within eight
minutes he was en- route for Mount
Mark-white In the face. shaky In the
knees, but tremendously proud In
spirit.
Arriving at Mount Mark. he was In
crowd Of station loungers. The name
OF Prudence was upon every tongue,
and her father heard 1t with satisfac-
ton. In the parsonage he found at
least two-thirds Of the Ladies' Aid so
ciety. the trustees and the Sunday
school superintendent, along with a
miscellaneous assortment Of ordinary
members. mixed up with Presbyterians.
Baptists and few unclasslfied outsid-
ers. And Prudence was the center Of
attraction.
She was telling the whole story"
for perhaps the fifteenth time that
morning. but she broke of when her
father hurried In and flung her arms
about him. "Oh, papa" she cried,
''they mustn't praise me. l had no
idea there was burglar In the house
when ran down the stairs, and hon.
estly can't see that much credit Is
due me-"
But Mount Mark did not take 1t SO
calmly. And as for the Methodist
church-well, the Presbyterian people
used to say there was mo living with
those Methodists, since the girls caught
a burglar In the parsonage" OF course
1t was important. from the Methodist
point of view. Pictures of the par
sonage and the church were in all the
papers for miles around and at their
very next meeting the trustees decided
to get the piano the Sunday school had
been needing for the last hundred
yearsi
When the FIVE hundred dollars A.
rived from Chicago. Prudence felt that
personally she had no real right to the
money. 1--WE must divide it, she in
sisted. "for I didn't earn 1t bit more
than any Of the others. But 1t is
perfectly glorious to have Ave hundred
dollars, isn't III DID you ever have
i've hundred dollars before7 Just take
It, father. and use 1t for whatever we
need. It's family money"
Neither the younger girls nor their
father would consent to this. But
when Prudence pleaded with them eur
nestly, they decided to divide 1t.
Il will deposit two hundred and fifty
dollars for the four younger ones.' he
said, land that will leave you as
much"
So 1t was settled. and Prudence was
a happy girl when she saw 1t safely
put away In the bank.

TO HELL WITH BLOODY
BILLS AMERICAN ARMY.

The people of the nation are get
ting down to the fact that we are at
war; that a nation at war has no
business monkeying with pacifists,
Germans, traitors. conspirators,
etc, and are taking in hand those
whose conduct is out of harmony
with the nation. Tar and feathers
riding on rails, and public Hearings
are being administered with good
effect. 1t is often too dow and dlf.
ficult to reach these people with civ
il law. And the courts move too
slow at time like this. We are at
war and those who are warning on
us. whether in a German uniform or
civilian clothes on American soil,
should be suppressed, by law, If pos
sible, but suppressed by mob force if
necessary. For the meanest cur, the
worst enemy, is the skunk in the
brush pile waiting to rob the hen
coop after the owner goes to bed,
These vipers are warning against us
and far more dangerous than they
could ever be in Hun uniform in
the Prussian army. Why should we
here in the United States be so con-
siderate and tender lest we offend
Kaiser Bill's bushwhackers and sym
pathizers here incur midst? To hell
with them, body and breeches!

SMOKE EN- OUT!

Disloyalty has no place in this
country. There is no room for the
men and women who are too proud
to fight, or who are too cowardly
to defend themselves. There is TO
room for those who, in the name Of
religion, claim exemption from mili-
tary duty, and slack in everything
from food conservation to the par
chase of bonds. If people are not
for democracy and liberty they are
for the Kaiser and the Huns and
autocracy. And there is no place in
the United States for this class. In
every community let the loyal peo-
pie smoke out these German allies,
tfor that is exactly what they
are), and let them be exposed to
public scorn and contempt. The
time has come to demand that every
soul within this nation declare in
no uncertain terms where they
stand.

CLEARWATER COUNTY LOST
TEIED AND TRUE MAN.

Frank Shreve, who has been an
employee of Clearwater county for
many years as deputy auditor, and
who is held in high esteem by the
people of this county, regardless of
politicts, rendered his resignation as
deputy auditor Saturday and left
Sunday morning for Wallace, in
Shoshone county, where he has a
fine position. The Clearwater coun-
ty board were anxious to keep Mr..
Shreve, and raised his salary but
after due consideration he decided
to move to Shoshone county. We
know of no finer compliment that
can be paid a man than to say he is
absolutely on the square, and it is
without fiattery that we say this of
Frank Shreve. He is a democrat in
politict. but served as clerk of the
republican county board for over
three years. and is held in high es-
TEEN by our County Commissioners
and the other republican county Off
cials, who have come to know that
Mr.. Shreve is every inch man,
honest, sincere. clean and free from
hypocracy and cant We are sure
that Clearwater county can ill af-
ford to lose Mr.. Shreve, but since
he has decided to go, and has left
for a new field, we rejoice that his
worth has brought him merited re-
ward in increased pay Mr.. Shreve
leaves a host of warm friends in this
county, who will join in wishing
him well. His family will Join him
later, and Orofino will lose one of
its best families.

AMERICAN PEOPLE MUST

The Republican wants to empha-

limited at the location OF the man
who spoke disloyally of Liberty
Bonds. and told the Chairman to
go where the climate is as hot as
Lewiston in August AS a matter
of fact we could never get Mr. Ho-
que to tell us who the individual
was, and found out only from street
rumor. which may or may not be
correct. The Republican did say, in
commenting on the case, that we
were of the opinion the man was
not 'disloyal, but spoke more from
personal dislike for Mr.. Hogue. We
are glad to know the man is not a
Stacker; that he has invested in one
or more bonds; that he is loyal and
true to the United States, and will
support Uncle Sam. But let the Re-

THREE LICENSED DOGS
IN VILLAGE OF OROFINO

A few days ago the Republican
editor paid the village dog tax on
the family guardian, one Rover"
OF male gender, and at that time
the village records gave only three
licensed dogs, with a score, possibly
many more. within the town limits,
and subject to the license tax. We
are not going to make any criti-
cism farther than to say that we are
not willing to go on being the town
goat, while others are permitted to
go on year after year ignoring this
license. The records show that
Councilman Fred Luttropp, Chas.
Halle, our laundryman. and P. L..
Orcutt, are the only ones to pay a
dog license, with the town full of
dogs. 1t does not make for good
government nor for community har-
mony to impose tax on one and
let others escape, and unless all pay
none should pay. Unles all dogs in
Orofino are licensed, none should be,
and the license collected from the
few refunded and the ordinance re-
pealed.

THE LOCAL MERCHANT AND
HIS HOME PAPER.

Here is the one big fact about
the local newspaper that many fail
to give any consideration. but
which is very important one and
should not be overlooked. 1t is the
morale. or fighting spirit: the feel
ing that its work is worth while
and appreciated by town. II bus
mess men think they have no inter
est in their home paper; that 1t Is
none of their business whether the
paper is optomistic or pessimistic; /;
a booster or kno. ker, they make n
serious mistake. The local paper
must know that it has the support
of the town; that the business men
are cooperating with it, or it will
not do satisfactory work for the
town. This is a plain, cold fact,
and worth remembering. For it is.
at best. a hard. steady grind on the
part of home paper to keep up
steam, talk hopefully all the time,
and spread optomism. 1t takes q
lot of courage and faith and energy
to keep everlastingly at 1t, and
boost for all that town hopes for.
Let the town discourage this spirit
and its newspapers are Of no further
use to the community. And 1t is
the towns own fault II that hap
pens. Meet the local editor hcli

it or not.

DUNKARD PREACHERS ARE
CHARGED WITH DISLOYALTY.

For some weeks there has been
reports from the Teakean country to
the effect that there was consider
able dislOyalty among the Dunkard
colony there. Charges OF open dis
loyalty have been made against the
Dunkard preachers, Rev. Harp and
Rev. Halderud. 1t is charged, ac-
cording to report, that the disloyal-
ty has manifest itself in the school
by the Dunkards refusing to board
or lodge the teachers, the reason be-
ing that the teachers are patriotic
and working to inspire a spirit of
loyalty in the children, which is re-
sented by some, or most of the
Dunkards.
1t is rumored that the loyal citi-
zens have stood about all they can
and have decided the machinery in
motion that will expose and punish
all who are guilty. The Dunkard
preachers have been cited to appear
in Orotino tomorrow, Saturday, be-
fore the County Council of Defense
for examination, and a number of
witnesses have been cited to appear
and testify.
From man who has resided in
NhC lCdhCdH hCl6hDOIhDou, anu "
is well acquainted with the Dunkard
people. we learn that some of these
Dunkards are of German extraction
who came to the United States be-
cause here they were free to wor-
ship as their conscience dictated.
But it seems that the German is
stronger than their sense of graft
tude; that they are absolutely de-
void of patriotism and loyalty. and
have been preaching disloyalty in
their church.
1t is with sadnes that the Repub-
can records these reports, for we
have had better opinion of these
people. We gave them credit for
being among our best citizens, and
1t is with feeling of pity that we
give publicity to such rumors. i.

ELLISON-WHITE TESTIFY
TO VALUE OF ADVERTISING.
Chautauaua People Saw it Does Paw
To Advertise,

Last week we published an edi-
torial TO the effect that the Repub-
lican would no longer donate adver-
tising to the Chautauqua, or any
other concern, for the plain reason
that publicity is commodity of
value and the only thing newspa-
per has to sell. Today we received
the following letter from the ELL
son-White people:
Portland, Ore, March 2S, 1918
Clearwater Republican Your edi-
torial in reference to free advertis-
mg has just come to our attention
We naturally regret very much that
this has been published and feel
sure that you would not have print
ed it had you understood the con-
tract of the Orofino committee with
us.
On some of our circuits we pay
all expenses, including liberal ap-
preparations to the newspapers and
take all receipts. On the Coast Six
circuit, our contracts provide for the
local committee to pay all expenses
and they receive IS per cent of the
single admissions. The contract
specially states, that the party of
the second part agrees to advertise
literally in county papers" We are
sorry you did not understand this
before. You can confirm it by see
Ing the contract which Is undoubt-
edly in the hands of either Miss
Anderson or DR.. Britain.
1t is positively against our policy
to ask papers for free publicity. On
contracts such as you have at Oro-
fino. it is simply our province to
furnish an abundance OF material
for use. If the Orofino committee
does not make you an appropriation,
we certainly have no desire to for
ward material to you, because we
realize it would be wasted, but we
feel that they will make an appro-
priation if you present the matter
in the right way. In our estimation

body is going to pay for it. We
