Resolutions Passed by His Sunday
School at FairmoRt.

Whereas, on February 28th, 1918,
the message came to US that Geo. E.
Galloway, one of our town boys. had
given his life for US the day before,
somewhere in France;
Whereas, this young man in the
prime of manhood, so willingly offer
ed his services in the defense of his
country;
Whereas, by this noble deed he
showed himself to be no slacke- and
that he valued the defense of cur
country and our homes to be worth
more than life, and while his friends,
associates, classmates and loved ones
will miss him and it is with regret
when we think that we will not see
his genial face any more, but we are
all proud to have known such z noble
spirit and to have the honor to call
him our friend:
Therefore, be it resolved, that we
bow in humble submission to the Will

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Please allow me space in your val
ued columns to add my endorsement
to your recent editorial in which you
suggest "that there be no pickering"
this tirIe within our own ranks. Our
country is now engaged in the great
est conflict known to history. Great
issues are involved which must be set
tied and this country in which we live
yea even this whole world. be made
safe for Democracy: and. as Senator
Cough expressed it. "this is time for
men to be Americans. not politicians. y
The chain is never stronger than its
weakest link, therefore it behooves us
to select our best and strongest men
from township up to Congressional.
We all regret that Providence. in
whose hands we all are and which
makes no mistakes, has made it i'm.
possible for Senator Cough to again
be our Senator. His record is an open
book whose pages all NAV peruse with
pride. He did much for his people
which was for their good: he prevent.
ed much legislation which would have
been detrimental to them. He it was
who was author Of the absentee voter

IDAHo's NEW BISHOP

1t is an interesting story, that of the
rise of Bishop Daniel L. German, re-
Gently appointed by the Pope as bishop
of the diocese of Idaho. Bishop Cor
man, who, as Monsignor German, has
been president of Dubuque college, Du-
buque, Ia, for a number of years, sue
ceeds the late Bishop Glorieux of Ida
no, but will not go to Boise until in
May.
Born in a reed cottage at Wyoming,
Ia, of parents who had settled there
from Ireland, the present bishop as a
boy attended school in his native vii
lage and later became country school
master. He afterward went to Dubu-
que, and studied for the priesthood. He
attended ST. Francis seminary at Mil
waukee and was ordained priest in
1898. His first parish was at State
Center, Ia, and in 1894, because of his
success in this parish he was trans
ferred to the diocesan college at Du-
buque as one of its professors. In 1904,
Father German became president of
the college.
His appointment as bishop Of Idaho,
places Father Borman at the head of a
dioces having a Catholic population of
$4,000 persons, ministered by fifty
priests. He is the second bishop of
Idaho, the diocese being comparative
ly young. 1t was created in 1898 by
Pope Leo XIII.

POOL HALL CLOSING

Governor Alexander has declared that
he is about to issue an order closing
all pool halls and card rooms in Idaho
during business hours. - That is, the
pool halls and card rooms are to be
closed during the ordinary hours of
work, but are to be allowed to remain
open at night
Under the present state law, they are
required to close on Sunday and, Of
course, under the statute, the pool halls
could not open for business on Sun
day, even though they were closed dur
ing the week
The governor s aim in contemplating
the closing of pool halls and card rooms
is to force idlers frequenting such
places to work, it being felt that their
labor is needed by the country at the
present time, when vast numbers of
young men have been taken from their
regular avocations to become soldiers
and sailors.
Governor Alexander, no doubt has
been advised that he has the power
to close, by proclamation, pool halls and
card rooms. Otherwise he would not
make an announcement of such plans
The order, if it comes, will by many be
pronounced drastic. OF course, if it
is enforced, it will have the effect of
closing pool halls and card rooms, and
in that way would work much hard
ship on the proprietOrs of these places,
for they have invested heavily therein.
the order will have its intend
ed effect, it is impossible to predict If
it drives loafers and oilers to jobs ON
farms at producing foodstuffs, probably
the hardship it viii work on the pool
hall and card room proprietors viii
be overlooked But if the loafers
are merely driven to the streets by the
closing of the pool halls, the spirit
Of the order will not be complied with
governor announces that,
if the idlers do not 60 to work, more
drastic measures will be taken.
The governor is expected to call upon
he sheriffs, county commissioners, may
,rs and village boards of trustees to
AIRY out the order.

DEATHS OF AvIAToRS

The percentage of deaths lately at
U. S. aviation camps is pronounced by
the war department as small, when COM
pared with the extent to which flying
is now being carried on by student
aviators in the United States.
While five deaths were reported due
TO accidents to airplanes at Fort
Worth, Tex, in week, and that camp
has had ffty-one accidental deaths
among airmen, since the camp was es-
tablished, the percentage of fatalities
must be considered low when it is ex-
planned that in the American signal
corps training camps flights tOtaling
100000 miles, or more than four times
the circumference of the earth, are
made daily. Besides, student aviators
are making numerous flights by them
selves, and it stands to reason that
there will be heavier rate of fatal
ties among student aviators than among
experienced flyers
VI the dccluelIdl uedJnS 10 dlIHeH
reported from Texas training camps,
since their establishment, fifty-one have
been at Fort Worth, seven at Houston,
three at San Antonio, two at Wichita
Falls and one each at Dallas and Waco.
Perhaps the most notable death was
that of Capt. Vernon Castle, famous
dancer and member of the Royal Fly
ing corps, of Great Britain. Captain
Castle met his death at Fort Worth
last Friday when, as he attempted to
avoid a collision with another machine
in the air, the engine of his craft died
and the plane plunged to earth. A
student companion Of Captain Castle
was uninjured.
The death of Dudley A. Loomis of
Moscow, at Texas aviation camp, re-
Gently, also was due to an accident.
So long as flying continues, there will
be accidents to airplanes, and deaths
Of aviators. When reports of numer-
ous fatalities are received, it should be
borne in mind that every effort is exert
I'd to reduce these accidents to mini
mum. and if the number of deaths OF

OUR HEROIC DEAD

Idaho county within period of lit
tie more than a week, lost two of her
men in the service of their country.
William /. Droogs of Mount Idaho per.
ished with the sinking of the trans
port Tuscania, and John Earl McPher-
son died of disease, while in the nav,,.
The deaths of Droogs and Mcpherson
make three Idaho county men in uni
form who have lost their lives since
the outbreak of war between the United
States and Germany. Frank Vaughn.
member of Company E, died last
summer while the company was sta
toned at Garfield, Utah.
Droogs is the first man to die in
acton. He was killed by the Germans
while enroute across the sea, and his
name will 90 down in the annals of
Idaho county as the first Idaho county
man to perish in warfare with the
Huns.
Mcpherson and Vaughn also died for
their country, though they did not sue
cumb on the battlefield, and they are
deserving of as much honor as the man
who perishes in actual warfare.
1t is exceedingly fitting that memoir
ial services should be held in Grange
vile for our heroic dead.
