dividuals. In my humble Judgment a
few bearing this simple legend: "All
is not gold that is yellow" will tell the
whole story.
A great deal has been said in print,
in public utterances and in private
conversation about the menace of the
!. w. w. and of the proper contempt
of law abiding citizens for that or
ganization. The least that can be
said is that the man who will not do
his whole duty in the suppression of
crime is no more fit to be citizen
share in its privileges and benefits
than is the criminal himself

SPOKANE'S SHAME

Spokane's Chamber of Commerce assures the Latah
County Protective association that it is in hearty
pathy with the efforts of the Latah association to
clean up this county and drive out the l. w. W. and
such lawless element That sounds very nice. But
factions speak louder than words" and the people
would like to action along the lines men
toned by the secretary of the Spokane Chamber of
Commerce.
A short time member of the I. w. w. died in
Spokane His funeral made the occasion for dem
onstration. The SpokesmanReview told of it in detail
Four hundred members of this organization whose
leaders are awaiting trial for treason, murder,
spiracy and almost crime mentioned in the Grim
inal CODE marched through the Spokane
red flags flying

loyal American enlisted from the navy of

members and urged them Idle for associations
principles" if need be.
We believe that Spokane is the only city in the north
west where this would have been permitted Spokane
claims to be leader in all that is patriotic and the
city made splendid record in the Red Cross Liberty
loan and all other patriotic drives that funeral with
its 400 w. w. members marching with red flags is
dark blot on the fair of Spokane and the blot
must be erased before people the confidence and
pride in Spokane they before this regretable oc-
currence.
We that no I. w. w. red flag parade would
be permitted in Moscow any of the towns of
hern Idaho eastern Washington except Spokane and
an explanation of why it allowed in Spokane is
due the friends and admirers of that splendid city.

HANDLING GRAIN IN BULK

The farmers of Moscow and vicinity are to be con-
graduated their decision to build elevator
and handle their grain in bulk. The scarcity sacks,
the high prices asked for them and the uncertainty
getting them at price furnish sufficient
preparing to handle the wheat crop of 1918 without
the use of sacks The unreasonable price demanded
for grain sacks would make their prohibitive it
not for the unusual high price that expected
for grain. There is why sacks so high,
except the that dealers believe they can
get these high prices get part of the high
price the farmer will get for his wheat.
That an elevator, properly conducted, be made
to pay is certain Many such elevators paying
good dividends in addition the savings sacks. A
farmer Cofax who is farming rented land, re-
which he stated that he had put elevator
for less than what his sack bill have been
year. He is is quoted as saying:
Il cut my crop of 100 which yielded 1000 bu-
shells, and put it in the elevator total 1885,
1 used IL head of my horses and cut the grain
with Idaho National combined harvester. 1t cost
$25 to load the entire 1000 bushels cars,
after cleaning it it through the elevator, and
got more than enough screenings pay for the
of handling and saved the freight the screenings
Had used sacks for the 1000 bushels my bill
would have been $780, $40 than the total cost
of cutting hreshng putting the elevator and load
ing the cars

BURGLARIZING RUSSIA

Germany has taken the role ofburgar and has added
robbery the other long list of crimes govern
ment has committed. After Russia had quit fighting
and demobilized her armies the Germans have again
declared upon defenseess and unarmed nation
and has sent army to "conquor" the unresisng
territory.
In today's associated press dispatches appears an
official" despatch from Berlin stating that Germany
has captured 1853 and between 1000 and 5000
motor cars from the Russians" e
This is plain burglary, entering the home after the

pleted this morning when c. e. Tennis
traded property in Moscow and Lataf
county to B. c. Rowe, Of Eugene, Ore.
for property in the Willamette valley
deal being $4,000.
By the trade Mr.. Rowe gets Mr.
Tennis residence property in Moscow,
the Crystal garage and the barn, and
near Eugene, Ore, on the famous Nc
Kenzie highway. The farm is one Of
the best improved in that section Of
Oregon.
Mr.. Rowe, who was formerly a resi-
dent of Latah county and also lived
number of years at Palouse, will re-
turn to Moscow and make his nome
here after school closes at Eugene.
Mr.. Tennis expects to move to the
farm as soon as he can get his bust
ness affairs settled here
This deal, one of the largest closed
in Moscow in many months, is the
direct result of a classified advertise
ment in The Star-Mirror, costing 81.
A. B. McIntire, real estate agent, ad
vertised the property of Mr.. Rowe in
this paper and Mr.. Tennis saw the
advertisement the first time it ap-
peared, called on Mr.. McIntire, and
after some correspondence and inspec-

of the Idaho National Guards, it has
been my privilege to act upon COM
. mittee in connection with other mem
bers for the PURPOSE of soliciting cit
liens to join such organization.
At the time of this writing there
has been reported the names of rs
representative citizens, who have sign

leading business institutions have
been approached by various mem
bers of the committee and
have met with refusal to join,
which refusal was based solely upon
the ground that their business was

given this matter any thought what

Leaving out of the consideration the
fact that man who will dodge his
patriotic duty on account of business
reasons is probably more to be con-
demned as a Stacker than the man
who hesitates from personal fear, we
are confronted with the fact that the
more business a man has the more
he requires protection, and therefore,
the more is he Obliged to protect
The purpose of the organization of
this company is for the protection OF |

ribute to his material welfare
