HIGH SCHOOL STOCK
JUDGES TO LEWISTON
TEAM, WITH COACH MATHEWS,
HAD PLEASANT TIME AT THE
BIG STOCK SHOW

The stock judging team of the Mos
COW High school did some excellent
work in the student contest at the
Lewiston Stock show. The boys and
their coach, Prof. Matthews, report a
very interesting and instructive trip.
The object of these student contests in
judging live stock is to get the boys
familiar with our best types Of live
stock and have them acquire some
ability in choosing the best individu
aus of each type.
The team consisted of the following
boys: Murtha K Cline, George Clark,
David Burch, Edgar Spencer and Ray
mond Lundquist. These boys gave a
good account of themselves in the
judging contest and won fourth place
for the team with total score of
1876 points. Throughout a large
part of the contest it appeared that
the boys might win first place for the
team but along toward the last they
ran up against some unprecedented
and unlocked for bad luck which
might happen to team only once in
fifty times. The bad luck referred
to was in the extremely low percent
age made in placing class of sheep.
Taken all together the trip was a
very instructive one for the boys, and
that this was their first
experience in judging contests they
made a remarkable showing.

RAY M'kh|G TAKES
THE WITNESS STAND
PLAINTIFF In ee5o, 900 LIBEL SUIT
WITNESS IN HIS OWN BE- !.
HALF IN BOISE

BOISE.-With Ray McKaig on the
stand, interest has increased in the
$4,000 libel suit Of the Non-partisan
league field Secretary against F. r..
Gooding and the Statesman Printing
company. Thursdays. examination
brought out the fact that the plaintiff
intends to seek equal amounts Of dam
ages from the Statesman Printing
company and from the defendant
Gooding, intending to prove malice in
each case. The chief testimony given
by the witness bearing directly upon
the advertisement, the basis of the
libel suit, wassin connection with his
talk with Kate Richard O'Hare, rad
ical socialist, convicted of making
disloyal statements. When asked to
explain the reason for visiting her
and introducing himself, McKaig
up and said: "I'l1 tell
you why, Mr.. Bissell. I was formerly
a minister, and there was a woman
there alone, and I thought it
was but Christian act to go up and
say what did. I felt sorry for her,
and I acted upon the impulse as any
Christian man would do" A moment
later the witness added "You would
do the same, Mr.. Bissell."
When asked concerning his CONVEX
sation with Mrs O'Hara, the witness
testified that he merely inquired if
she was guilty, told her that if Mr..
Massey of Boise knew he was there,
he would send her his regards. |
McKaig testified he knew but little
the O'Hare woman; did
lot know she had written the social
st platform denouncing the war, or
hat she headed the radical wing of the |
socialist party; but that he did know
he socialist platform was anti-war
md that Arthur Leseur, an attorney /
or the bipartisan league, publicly
the platform.

MOSCOW HAS BUT 555
RED CROSS MEMBERS
DRIVE FOB MEMBERSHIP RENEW
AL ENDED TUESDAY NIGHT
WITH A LOW TOTAL

only 555 Moscow men and women
renewed their membership in "the
Greatest Mother in the World dur
Ing" the renewal campaign which end
ed Tuesday night. The final work
was done by Mrs. c. S. Clarke and
Mrs. G. D. Hodge who conducted q
booth at the American Legion dance
at Eggan's hall where they took 25
renewals. Jack Williamson and Cor
( don Staples, who worked on the
streets Tuesday afternoon, got 10
renewals and the campaign ended with
total of three fives, 555 members in
Moscow.
This is certainly a disappointing to-
tai for MOSCOW. 1t was thought the
people would respond to the call from
this organization which did so much
1or the soldiers and is doing so much
All the time for suffering humanity.
II will not have the town canvassed
and beg people to contribute to the
Red Cross. They know what it is
what 1T has done and that every dollar
given will be wisely spent for some
worthy cause and I feel sure the peo-
pie Will not have to be solicited to
renew their membership in this or
ganization," said H. H. Simpson, coun-
ty chairman at the beginning of the
campaign. Mr.. Simpsons estimate of
the gratitude of the people seems to
have been placed little high.
G. b. Green, one of Moscow's most |
liberal, patriotic and enterprising cit
liens, took seven memberships for his
family of seven and said: ct will re-
new the membership for the entire
family as long as I live. 1t is a pleas
ure to give to the Red Cross"
Much credit is due to the women
who took charge of the booths every
afternoon, at the pOatoffice and every
forenoon, but Saturday at the uni
versity. They gave their time and
their efforts to get the renewals it
was thought Moscow ought to give.
Much credit is also due to Mrs. J. H.
FOrney, that worthy woman who has
never been found wanting when it
came to any public service. Mrs.
Forney undertook to produce women
70 take charge of the booths and she
succeeded in getting splendid work for
sach shift. No fault can be found
With those in charge Of the work,
rom Mr.. Simpson, county chairman,
1own to the messengers, for all did
heir duty. The trouble is that too
many people feel as one man express I
I'd it: "I feel that I had done my full
luty durinea-the war and that I have
,iven enough"

Attack on Philadelphia Judges
Leads to Wide InveStiga-

Seditionists.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 5l.--Shrap-
mel shells, loaded with nitroglycern
Or 7. n. T., were exploded late last
night at the homes OF three men
prominent in public lie. There was
considerable destruction of prop
erty, but no one was killed.
Revenge against the judicial and
police authorities for enforcing the
law against sedition and the display
Of the red flag OF anarchy in this
city, the police officials said, fur
ulshed the motive. 49,
The houses attacked were those of
Justice Revert Won Moschzisker of
the Pennsylvania supreme court;
Ernest T. Trigg, president of the
Philadelphia Chamber of Com.
merce, and William B. Mills, acting
superintendent of police. Eight
houses adjoining these residences
were damaged by the explosions
The three homes are in widely
separated sections of the city. The
authorities believe the Trigg bomb
was intended for the home of Mu
niclpal Court Judge German, who
resides next door.
The entire police force of the
city is working on the case, but the
officials absolutely refuse to tell
what clues they have, if any. All

At the scene of the explosion the
police picked up circulars which
contained the def of the bomb
throwers. The heading read: TO
the exploiters, the judges, police
men, the priests, the soldiers" This
was followed by 200 words of a
harangue on the rights OF the peo-
Pile
Justice Won Moschzisker today ex-
pressed the belief that his home
was attacked simply because he is
the highest court officer in Phila-
delphia. "
This bombing outrage, to my
mind" said the justice, SIS simply
the work of misguided, hysterical
persons affected by conditions of
the times. | do not believe there
was any personal animosity in the
attack on my house. SO far as I can
recall, there has been no case :
fore me i'll which a decision would
have affected any of the class OF
persons who apparently directed
these efforts at frightfulness.
Since the outbreak of the war
Justice Won Moschisker has been &C
tive in securing relief for the dis
tressed people of Poland. Early to-
day Mayor Smith and Superinten-
d Mt of Police Mills visited the
home of the justice. They found
the entire front wrecked, and the
drawing room with all its furniture
in ruins. Windows in every house
i'll the block were shattered.
Due to Bolshevism.
Superintendent Mills said today:
There is is no doubt these out
RACES are due to a combination OF
bolshevism and the Industrial
Workers of the World because OF
the activity shown by the police
and the courts enforcing the laws
against sedition during the war.
