Moscow people must throw open
their homes for the entertainment of
visitors to the city on June A and 5,
the OCCASION of the convention of
northern Idaho commercial bodies.
There will be many more visitors here
than the hotels can accommodate.
We cannot have hotels large enough
to accommodate the largest crowds
that come to Moscow, for such hotels
would not pay. Consequently the cit
liens must help out the hotels dur
ing rushes like we expect next We'd
nesday and Thursday. We will have
a large number of the most progress
sive citizens of the northern part of
Idaho with us on those two days and
we want them to carry away good
Impression of Moscow.

{ In less than As hours the world
will know whether the war is over
or a new war has begun. Germany
will answer the peace demands OF the
allies before one O'Clock Thursday.
German Statesmen" say they will
reject the peace terms. Then look
for prompt and decisive action which
will teach Germany what she missed
by not signing reasonable peace terms
when she had a chance. We may
expect things to occur in rapid success
sion after one o'clock Thursday if
the Germans persist in refusing to
accept the best terms they will ever
get.
The action of the commissioners
of Moscow highway district No. in
placing all of the road work in this
district under the personal supervis-
ion of Engineer Monahan is a step
in the right direction. 1t means a
uniformity of road work not had in
I.atah county heretofore Few if any,
counties in Idaho are as deficient
in gcad road work as Latah county
and it will need some radical changes
to place this county where it belongs
in this important matter.

Are the Moscow veterans Of the
great war going to accept the invita-
ton of Lewiston to take part In the |
exercises of Memorial Day there? !
We would, of course, like to have these
grand young men with us, but Lewis
ton offers to send several times as
many men here on July 3, A and as
Moscow sends to Lewiston Friday,
SO it looks like good business to send
a big delegation to Lewiston.

Sheriff Woody is to be asked to
send deputy sheriff to the woods
northeast of Moscow next Sunday to
make arrests of those who persist in
destroying property of those having
cabins in the timber and of the farm
ers in that section. Complaint has
been made by those who have suffered
from these depredations and arrests
will follow the next act of this kind,
It is announced.
Does any one know any good and
yufficient reason why the grounds
# the library building are neglected
Is they are? This is supposed to
70 public place for the enjoyment
# the people of Moscow, but it takest
lway much of the enjoyment to see
he weeds and dandelions taking the
avn which is being sadly neglected.
Whose business is it to take care of
his matter? {
1t is enough to make the thirsty
+ Latah county "tear their hair in
niger" when they learn that 800
uarts of perfectly good "moonshine"
iuuor was discovered by the officers l
instead of by them. And to think t
hat this is to be destroyed, just at I
he beginning Of the greatest "drouth" t
he United States has ever known, q
!, enough to increase the torment.
