Printing statesmen who travel for
mail-order printing firms have a
smooth way OF deeciving their GUS
toms. When soliciting job printing
they inform a prospective customer
that a certain job of printing can't be
handled by the country newspaper
shop. The fact of the matter is, there
is nothing in the printing line, from
ledger sheets to calling cards, that
cannot be handled by the local print
shop. If special ruling is required
the home shop can send it away and
have it lone as cheaply as the mail
order printing firm can do it, and still
make a profit. There is no accession
to send anything in the printing line
away from home.-Kendrick Gazette.

The celebration of the anniversary
of the establishment of soviet rule IN
Russia was nipped in the bud last
night by the activities of government
agents at New York and Chicago. A
lot of Russians who have been hiding
in this country and trying to over
throw this government and establish
a soviet government in its place, are
to have their ishgratified to some
extent. They want a soviet govern
ment and are to have one--in Russia,
to which country they are to be de-
ported. Another case of the mountain
refusing to go to Mohamet so Mo-
hamet will be sent to the mountain.

This is more than a strike. 1t is an
attempt to hold up the people of the
United States by offering them the
choice between enormously higher
prices for coal on n hand and in
tolerable suffering from old and in
calcuable loss from paralysis OF m
dustry and transportation by rail and
sea on the other hand. In essence it
is a blockade, such as one nation puts
into effect against another in a war
to the death. 1t is a breach of faith
toward the employer and an act of
war against the nation. When the
president says it is unlawful" he
uses the mildest term which can ac-
curately describe it.-Oregonian.

In about eight months from now the
two great parties will be holding their
national conventions and each will
nominate a candidate for president of
the United States. So far 1t is an open
field in both parties, and no one can
hazard a guess as to h either party
will nominate. The coming years will
hold problems which will demand the
best brains of the nation to solve sat-
isfactorily, and it is to be hoped that
the qualifications of the man will
count more than political buncombe
when it comes to selecting the candi-
dates who will contest for election in
1920.-Palouse Republic.

John Nisbet, Latah %county's prose-
attorney, and Sheriff Woody
deserve credit for the able manner in
which they have handled the Woodress
burglary case. They dug up Wood
ress' record showing him a confirmed t
criminal with four prison terms 20 '
discredit. Quietly and without any {
flourish of trumpets the able sheriff :
and able prosecuting attorney have f
gone about their work and have ac-
much in curbinb lawless- N
in Latah county. They are 10 be J
commended for their splendid work /,
in this as in many other cases. S

A strike which is opposed by the y
United States government and has
public sentiment against it is doomed tt
failure. We predict that the 400, s
100 coal miners who have left their y
obs at the beginning of winter, when N
coal famine would mean mysary N
nd perhaps death, will find them c.
elves the sufferers from their action y,
'efore the winter is over. Their mo- m
i've has been one of selfishness and il
welfare of a hundred million peo- u
lie has been entirely lost sight of by
hem.-Palouse Republic. =.
