others, Mrs. Wisner recalled being in

OLD STARS WANTED

One of the real disasters of news
paper history in Clio was the des-
truction of the office files of The Clio
Star, published for so many years
by our worthy brother. T. W. Smith
son. They contained the best modern
history of this section that could be
written and their loss can never be
wholly replaced. But in order to pre-
serve as many of them as possible,
The Messenger would be glad if those
who have copies would give them to
us and in return for this we will
agree to bind them and have them
convenient for reference by anyone
who may wish to look them over.

have sent these out, not so much as
bills of account, as reminders. We
find that other people are much like
ourselves and that they forget these
little matters. If it should chance
that we are in error as to payment
of any of these items we shall be
very glad to correct the same. These
accounts accumulate on our books
until they become so numerous as to
be confusing and we are desirious of
clearing them away Those who wish
may send stamps to settle these ac-

are not doubtful as to the respon-

ceive these statements. We merely
want to keep our work cleaned up.

Getting Ahead.

While the College of Idaho team
narrowly lost its first real athletic
venture to Whitman last Saturday, in
many ways it was notable victory
for the local team. Football is the
king of college sports and the College
of Idaho can no longer be snubbed
and overlooked by other Idaho, Ore
gon and Washington colleges.
Athletically, Caldwell is definitely on
the map. Not only that, but the col
lcge has been given substantial boost
from an advertising Standpoint. AS a
result of Saturdays game, thousands
of people in southern Idaho have, to-
day definitely impressed upon their
minds the fact that Caldwell is the
home of the College of Idaho and
that the College of Idaho is an insti-
tuition of vigor..
Caldwell and the College of Idaho
have every right to be proud Of the
college football team, and the football
team should be proud of its snappy
coach. Anse Cornell

Hurrah for Nugent.

When John Nugent appealed to
President Wilson for an embargo
against Canadian wheat. he not only
admitted the logic and accuracy of the
stand taken by Frank Gooding but he
knocked from under his sensational
props.
Nugent is Democrat He advo-
Gates free trade. And yet, recogniz-
ing the plight of Idaho farmers as a
campaign one Of its few remaining
result of the influx of foreign made
goods. he wants an embargo Save
Idaho wheat growers by keeping out
Canadian grain, Mr.. Nugent says:
But why stop with an embargo?
Why not make that protection per-
manent? Why not apply it to wool
and corn and beef? In short, why not
a tariff?
Nugent. too. is wiggling and wob-
bling. He wants an embargo on Can
adam wheat, to save his face and to
send him back to the senate. Once
there. he will be attuned with the free
trade policy of the Democratic party.
Vote for something more than just
temporary expedient-as embargoes
always are-by vtoing for Frank
Gooding, a tariff that protects and
prosperity for the Idaho farmer.
A man can be nonpartisan only at
home. When he goes to Washington
he must enter the caucas of party,

majority selects chairman. and ma
jority members OF each committee,
the minority deciding who among
them shall act as the minority men,
bers of the committee A nonpartisan
in the United States senate is like a |
man without country. He belongs
nowhere.
Nugent won't be able to support
even an embargo after he is lined up
by Democrats at Washington, should
he be elected.

lust a Mob.

kecentlysa Boise man was driven
off the stage by an angry crowd in
Caldwell. And the man who started
the miniature riot was awarded by be.
ing given gold watch! Not only
that but the sheriff of Canyon county
through the press, is lauding the act
praising the man who advocated mob
rule in Canyon county and got away
with it! s
To bring Robert McCracken here
and to have him give straight OUT
and out Republican political speech
when a new theatre was purportedly
being dedicated was wrong. 1t has
no defense. Particularly is this true
since those who paid to enter the
building had no idea that such fea
ture was to be on the program.
But to run the visitor off the stage
and then to have the sheriff of Canyon
county, whose duty ii is TO preserve
the peace and dignity Of the com
munity, to openly applaud such an
act Of mob violence, is far worse.
For this there can be no excuse.
From his expressions on the matter
through every paper that would pub
lish the propaganda, the sheriff must
believe it requires no explanation, no
apology. But there are others who
think differently.
Perhaps Mr.. Froman has deceived
himself because it happened to be one
of his relatives who headed the mob
and who was rewarded with gold
watch.

A Square Deal.

When you buy from big city store
and don't happen to get what you feel
is square deal you withdraw your
trade, and find later that it isn't a
drop in the bucket. Thousands OF
others who know nothing about your
experience on trading there, anil
Others come into the city and give tina,
store their business.
But it is different with merchants
in towns like Caldwell. They can't
afford to have dissatisfied customers.
Their territory is limited, and il thew
lose very many customers they are
paving the way to financial failure.
That is why you are sure of a SQUARE
deal when you trade with your home
merchant He knows he has to de-
pend upon your trade, along with the
trade OF people you know personally,
so he doesn't pass up any seeming
complaint you may have with a snap
OF the finger He knows he must
have the patronage and good viii of
the people right around him or he is
gone. He knows new customers are
not pouring into the store every day.
IT is the old ones upon whom he
must lean for his support.
There are thousand and one other
reasons why you are safer when YOU
trade at home, but can you think Of a
better one than this-the assurance
that you are going to get a squar.
deal! Talk about the big city mer-
chant doesn't hurt him, for your talk
