The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1922-08-07

Mathilde Mccormick is now in Paris
but her Swiss riding master is no
with her. That part Of the popula-
ton which is particularly interested
in the 17-year-old kid and her Swiss
friend of mature years, are waiting
with bated breath for news of their
meeting.
A pioneer local attorney, who has
practiced in Judge Steele's court for
many years, calls the attention OF
The Star-Mirror to the remarkable
record Of the veteran jurist. He
states that Judge Steele has been re-
versed fewer times by the supreme
court than any judge in the state Of
justiffes the people of the second jul
dicial district in continuing him on
the bench without question.
Stories of the millions of dollars
worth of timber now being destroyed
by forest fires, should be warning
enough to anyone going into the for
ests to use the greatest care not to
start fire. While everything is be-
ing done to conserve Idaho's great
timber resources, which mean SO
much for generations yet to come,
there is heavy loss each year, and
this year, with it's dry weather, is i
especially bad. Carlessness which
results in a forest fire is criminal
carelessness and is inexcusable.

A statement given out from the Of
fices of the national council of he
Episcopal church. shows a horizontal
increase in the salaries of Episcopal
during the past two years,
ranging from 10 to SO per cent. Even
At that married clergymen are receiv-
ing only from $500 to $4,000, includ-
ing sometimes a rectory. What ap-
plies to the Episcopal church prob
ably applies to most Of the other
church organizations, so it is easy to
De seen that the clergy is not over
paid. Thousands of minister's have
)een freed to kee ptheir families and
the appearance of prosperity
IN less han $4,000 per year during the
period of high prices, with no POSSIBLE !
v of increasing their income. No one :
Who does not have great cause at ]
leart and who is not given to making 6
acrifices, would be able to live on the I
income of the average minister.
