COMMENDS THE STAR MIRROR
Fir United States senator our peo-
pie must choose between John F..
Nugent and Frank R. Gooding. The
latter is man who has done much
for the state, has waged its battles
for better government. is a pushing,
constructive man whose courage and
honesty is unquestioned Against
him is man who has accomplished
but little for himself. the state or
the nation, either as senator or be-
fore-Boise Statesman.
Hon. John F. Nugent, United States
senator from this state, was renomi-
mated by the democrats by acclima-
ton. The democrats could do moth
ing else Senator Nugent has been
an honor to the party and has done
his duty well. The party had no more
able man than he. Whether he will
be elected depends upon the attitude
of the people of Idaho in November.
He is opposed by q giant and a man
of wonderful vote-getting power. The
race between Nugent and Gooding
will be one worth watching. No mat
ter who wins Idaho will have strong
man in the upper house of congress.
Moscow Star Mirror.
The Boise Statesman and The
Moscow Star-Mirror are both repub-
lican papers. The Statesman being
of the old type that can see no good
in anything that is democratic, while
the Moscow Star Mirror is more con-
sentative and fair and gives credit
where credit is due, regardless Of
party affiliation Papers of the
Statesman brand carry little weight
in community as they are invariably
referred to as the "hide bound" and
are considered more or less of a joke
that is as far as their political opin-
ions are concerned. The day is now
at hand when people demand at least
fair play, this applies to newspapers
as we'll as individuals-Co Cottonwood
Chronicle.
Moscow has been splendidly enter
tanning the Columbia River Confer
ence and the delegates leave with a
feeling of warm friendship for Mos
COW citizens and the community in
general. 1t has been big task but
has been we'll done. If we can get
away with the coming teachers insti-
tute as well as we have with the con-
fernce Moscow will have accomplish
ed much and will have secured some
advantageous advertising, for none can
do more in the way Of advertising our
advantages from religious and eda-
cati6nal standpoint than the Method
list ministers and the teachers Of the
Inland Empire schools.

Moscow schools opened today and
the attendance is gratifying. Over
coming what seemed almost insur-
difficulties Superintendent
Shank has secured splendid corps
of teachers and school opens under
the most suspicious circumstances.
But the teachers and the superinten-
dent cannot make a success of our
scheel unless they have the co-opera-
tion and support of the parents and
the pupils. Parents have a greater
duty than paying taxes to keep up
The schools. They must not let their
interest stop at that.
Ms1psw is to be congratulated up
N having the Rev. H. 0. Perry re-
uryed to the passionate of the Metho-
list church for another year. One
# the biggest churches in Spokane
lsked for him and the change would
ave been much to the advantage Of
Rev. Mr.. Perry, but he is loyal to the .
work that he has started here and is
Wiling to remain and complete it.
We congratulate the Methodists and .
he city upon having this strong man
etuHned for another year
