Today. June ID, is flag day. Be
sure to let cold Glory" float.

There is always a grist in the DO
liticaI mill of the Mortified News.
Just now it is trying to grind out
public sentiment in favor of Dewey
T. Hanley for auditor of accounts, to
Dust Ben Gates. The only implied
reason the News has to offer for this
change is that Auditor Gates is not
diplomatic enough in administering
the office. Just when this office was
put in the diplomatic service is not
made public, nor has it ever been
claimed that diplomacy, other than
common sense, fairness and that
courtesy characteristic of successful
business dealings, was called for in
the work of state auditor. Mr..
Gates has surely met all these re-
quirements with an ability that has
protected the states interest and
fairness to all dealing with his office.
Benjamin Gates has made good in
the office of state auditor and should
be reelected.

If there ever was a time in the his
tory of our country and state when
the office should seek the man it is
today. There must be elections to
keep the wheels of government going
but only time enough should be
given to this TO call the best men to
service, men of known patriotism,
ability and integrity. 1t is stated
that Frederick 6. Fleetwood is not
candidate for secretary of state, and
the Herald believes Mr.. Fleetwood
does not seek the Office. However,
no one can point to the present sec
rotary and say he ever refused to
serve his state when she called, and
today the call is great. We believe
Mr.. Fleetwood will serve the state
in his present capacity if the people
call him. The question OF the hour
is to keep the government working
at its highest efficiency, and the cleo
ton of Mr.. Fleetwood would be a
guarantee that the office of secretary
of state will be kept up to this high
standard.

There is urgent call for the cleo
ton of the best men as members of
coming state legislature. Members
who fully understand the Importance
of the matters to be acted upon and
able to help in enacting such laws as
the great needs of the hour call for.
There should be no dallying, no play
ing to the galleries, for we are in the
midst of a great world war the issues
of which will shape the future of
our national, state and home life.
Great questions are before us as a
state and nation and the call for
Vermont's best effort reaches out to
every department of state work and
especially is this needed in the COM
ing legislature. Among those who
have been mentioned as candidates
for state senator are the names of
Harry B. Amey, Kyle T. Brown and
J. S. Sweeney, all good men and
alive to the needs of the hour. Out
OF these three Mr., Amey seems to
be the IMAM of the hour" as best
fitting into the call for service. He
has a large experience in legislative
work and in revising and formulat
ing laws. He is an eloquent pleader
quick to act and man of excellent
Judgment. He is energetic-a rea
live wire-and withal fully under
stands the serious conditions tina
confront us and the need of uniteC
service keyed to the highest point o
efficiency. Such would be the ser
vice Essex County would give tn
legislature with Harry B. Amey 81
b state senator.

gerated iconoclasm, believing that God
was independent of forms, historic or
sacramento. The speaker traced the
development of strong, practical and
stern Scotch character under the in
fluence of -Presbyterianism and ac-
knowledges the debt-which all the
world owed to Calvin, Knox and their
descendants today.
Dealing with the Baptist church he
showed the Importance of their wit
ness to the spirituality of the church
as a corrective to the merely institu-
tional and historic view of it. He
sketched the origin of Methodism and
claimed that had the enthusiasm ar
oused by Wesley been generously re-
sponded to by the old church the great
bodies of the Methodists and Episco-
pal churches would have been one
great church today. The Episcopal
church needed today and always, the
wishes of Methodism to the expert
mental and personal side of religion.
In conclusion Mr.. Bridge touched
upon the vital question of reunion,

"HEC" EDMUNOSON
WRITES OF TEXAS
FORMER COACH OF UNIVERSITY
OF IDAHO TELLS OF WORK
IN NEW FIELD

The Star-Mirror is in receipt of the
following letter from 'Hec" Edmundson,
former coach at the University of Idaho,
which will be read with interest by his
many friends here. He writes:
College Station, Texas, Sept. rs, 1918.
"Star- Mirror, Moscow, Idaho.
1--WE find that living conditions are
much different than in the Northwest.
Vegetables are to be secured here at this
time of the year only in the canned form,
and there is little variety from which to
select. Many people from the east are
apt to make disparaging remarks about
| the frail construction of the houses in
Moscow We find that the homes in
Moscow are rather substantial structures
as compared with the most of the dwell
| ings here. However, this condition is
not so bad on the campus where the
homes for faculty members are built and
owned by the college We have a very
nice five-room bungalow, owned by the
athletic association.
There are two thousand soldiers here
taking special training Among them is
an Idaho boy and | will say that he is
as conspicuous here as he was at Idaho
with his six feet seven and one-eighth
inches of linear measure.
"Slim' Swanstrom Hlias 'Cleopatria'J J,
is here in the signal corps | was quite
surprised the other day to hear: Hello
there, 'Hec' Edmundson,' from a ia
miliar voice. Then turned to see Swan
strom, who has filled out to the extent
of about twenty pounds.
"Ath1etics are taking prominent part
in the S. A. T. c. program here. We
have sixty-one candidates out for foot
| ball The war department has advised
that only long trips from the campus are
to be discouraged. Dorset Graces is

tackle at Idaho in my senior year, so, of
course, we feel rather we'll acquainted.
Last year the foot ball team scored 20

"The Unavoidable Christ.

"Show me your handwriting and it
will reveal your innermost life," said
Reverend Dean Hamilton at the Bap-
fist church last night to congre-
cation intent upon what was being
said. Mr.. Hamilton was speaking
about "The Unavoidable Christ from
the words in John 2O:26. He said in
part, "The doors being secured from
within, reveal the inner condition of
their hearts. Your house within and
without reveals you. The way you.
wear your shoes and your hat tells
the one who knows, what you are.
To BE is more important than what
you SAY or DO. Christ did not break
down or unlock doors. He reaches
men without changing their environ
ment. You do not grow into the
Kingdom but you grow in it. Usually
the emphasis on social service is
placed in the wrong place. Security
and peace depends where Christ is.
Is He shut up with you or is He
shut up. Lastly no barriers will keep
Him out. Better face Him here than
be compelled to bear sins damnation
at the last. To submit to Him in
trust saves the soul. Not until then

urging that the churches needed each
other, that the contribution Of each
must be appreciated by all until
final comprehension should be arrived
at.
The church vestfy met in the af-
ternoon and laif plans for building
up the musical services of the church.
The financial report showed the
church to be in better condition
than ever before in it's history. The
prospective income for the financial
year fell only $11O short of the bud
get of expenses. 1t was hoped that
some subscribers would follow the ex-
ample of others and raise their
pledges to meet this amount
Arrangements were made for the
formation of a student class to be
conducted by Prof. H. T. Lewis and
Dean F. A. Thompson. The Rector
will conduct study circle on Sun
days from to 8 p. m.
The Sunday school will give rally
party on Saturday at p. m.

9 At the Episcopal Church.

The Rector gave a very frank anal
ysis of the weakness of the Episcopal
church. He showed how liable it was
to be slavish to the past, to develop
into "bundle of habits" The very
principle of Recommendation for which
it stood may degenerate into a type
of idolatry. It was, he agreed, in
protest against these dangers that
other great churches had arisen.
Presbyterianism under the inspiration
of John Knox had made a magnifi-
Gent contribution to human develop
ment; it had emphasized the inviolate
pawn of the Divine will; it had rep
resented healthy, tho at times exag-
