People come along and insist that
the government should fix the price
of bread, regulate the wages of coal
miners and the profits of coal op-
orators, centrol the distribution of
this or that commodity and perform
many other functions heretofore be-
lieved to rest solely within the right
of the individual, but with loud ac-
claim and some denunciation they
object to any law which interferes

MOsCOW'S SECOND
TEAM BEATS POTLATCH
HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR TEAM PUT
CRIMP IN POTLATCH RIGHT,
BY SCORE 1870.

The Moscow H. S. second team
journeyed to Potlatch last Saturday
and upheld the reputation of the
school by defeating the Potlatch H. S
first team to the tune of 13 to 0. This
is the second teams first game and
they certainly showed themselves to
be worthy wearers of the Crimson
and White. The old fight was there,
and from all indications the first team
of next year will bejust as hard hit
ting a team as our present warriors.
"A great deal of credit for the show
ing made by the team is due to the
work of Harold Corfielison and Orrin
Smith, two Moscow graduates who
have been helping Coach Baker to
whip the second team into shape. The
second team can now give the first
team good run for their money.
Next Saturday the most important
game of the season will be played in
Spokane when NJ H. s. meets the fast
North Central team Of that city. This
game will give Moscow a chance to
prove that she is the equal or su-
perior of anything that Spokane can
produce. If Moscow can defeat North
Central and North Central can in turn
1efeat Lewis and Clark, it will tie the
three teams up as far as percentage
IS concerned
This would be a splendid opportu-
lity for the people Of Moscow to show
heir interest in the High School team
~ making their fall trip to Spokane
IN this date and AupppHt the team at
he game. Anyone who saw the Mos
ow L.1ands G. game will say that the
.ane; alone will be worth the trip Z

one of the most moving chapters of the

since the one that centered upon Cecil
