NO NEW STATE FOR US.

Disappointed politicians and Others
of north idaho, smarting under tn,
seeming domination of the capita
crowd" at Boise, have started a move
ment to create new state out Of the
panhandle of Idaho and a section OF
eastern Washington with, of course
Spokane as the capital
The thing is impractical and impos-
sible. To create such a new state re-
quires the consent of the legislatures
of Idaho and Washington and the
consent of congress. The consent of
none of these could be gained. Con-
gress will never consent to give the
west, of which the east is already
jealous, two more senator's
But if all these obstacles could be
overcome and the new state be form
ed, would we not be jumping out of
the frying pan into the fire" by trad
ing Boise for Spokane? When we re-
member that Spokane has about twice
as many voters as Boise has popu-
lation; that Spokane city has great
er population than the entire pan
handle of Idaho; and when we look
back over the political history of
Spokane it seems that there is moth
ing to be desired IN this proposed
change.
If we think a handful of socalled |
politicians in Boise can control the |
politics of Idaho against the best in
terests of this part of the state, what |
must we think of Spokane as the po-
'itical center of 2 new state? Spo-
kane politicians can give the Boise
bunch "cards and spades and let them
deaf and then skin them in the po-
lit1cal game. Spokane with its more
than 100000 population and close to
Al, coo voters would absolutely con-
troll the new state AMI it would no. be
in the interest of the panhandle
either Be sure of that. When we hear
Idaho citizens grumbling about the
Idaho bunch and wanting to trade them
for the Spokane bunch we feel very
much like the little Moscow GIRL
whose mother probably is not the
sweetest tempered woman in the
world
The little girl was asked about her :
,eacher and if the teacher is cross.
She replied: mo, q don't think she's
ross. Lots of the kids say she is, but
told some of them I just wish you
lad to live with real cross woman
md you'd know that our teacher aint
ross If north Idaho citizens had Il
o deal politically with Spokane poll q
icians for few years they would d
ealize that the Boise bunch "aint ID

branch of the society of america for
Americans with the request that this
paper "butt into" it's fight. The re-
quest, or suggestion follows:
You have no doubt read in the
Spokane paper that upon the acknowl-
edgement of Mr.. Attenborough, of
Garfield, Washington, you have in
your midst a Methodist minister who,
although 20 years among you, is not
an American citizen. Please use your
patriotic energy to relieve your city of
such aliens, especially in such po-
sition in the church."
We decline to be made cats paw"
for the society of America for Ameri-
cans or to engage in their fight. We
are not trying to run the Methodist
church or any other church We are
tyring to publish a newspaper. We
are not trying to mould, but to record
public opinion and public events. We
have a business of our own and that
business is to publish a newspaper |
that will be a credit to and a champ |
ion of Moscow and Latah county and |
Idaho. If the Methodist church de-
sires to have an alien to manage it's
affairs in the Moscow district that is
the affairs of the church and none of
ours. There are too many people now
engaged in trying to run other peo-
Pies business and we refuse to mix
n other peoples affairs.

When the chairman of the inspec-
ton board announced the closing Of
the polls, Ainsworth, who stood just
within the rail, was conscious of
quick thrill Of anxiety and doubt. His
reason told him that his plurality of a
year before was an earnest of success,
but his instinct warned him of fail
ure. He relit his cigar and leaned
against the railing with studied care
lessness. He wished to keep his face
expressionless during the count. Dr.
rectly opposite him stood the Tam
many captain. and he knew that the
Tanmany inspectors were watching
him as they prepared their tally
sheets. He could suppress any sign
Of exultation If he won: he meant to
steel himself against visible disap-
pOintment II ne lost. For him the re-
suit In thIs one district would tell the
story OF the election.
The room was tense with excite
.nent as the formalities prescribed by
law were complied with.
The candidate watched the opening
Of the final ballot listlessly. He knew
that he was beaten.
At the club house he pushed his way
through the crowd. 1T Is all over"
he said.

walls, some by telephone, some in per.

The light tone and the Jest were for

AT THE CHURCHES YESTERDAY

Tn obedience to the proclamation Of Governor McRae naming yesterday as Law and Order" day, the churches of Prescott observed the same in the manner indicated by the governor, and in all places of worship the pastors preached of the benefits and blessings of law and order, pointing out the ne cessity of proper enforcement to the end that the city and county may be cleansed of the evils abroad in the land.
 At this time, when the spirit of un- rest hoyers over the world-when the whispering voice of the agitator in- stills malice in the heart of his nearer when the speed of living has ad- vanced to the highest pinnacle of care lessness, no more appropriate subjects could be discussed than the themes so ably treated by the ministers of our city on yesterday
 Law and order represents the foun- datiOn of country's greatness if then, we would have our community blessed. and the story of our happy triumph flashed to other fields of christian en- deavor. 1t becomes our duty first and foremost to enforce the law and pre- serve the order in our own good town and county,
 This, our officers have shown vii lingnesS and eagerneSs to de, and back ed by citizenship in accord with all movements for the betterment and up lift of the community. we look forward to better and brighter day for Pres colt and Nevada county.
