doesn't care, that the injunction is a

A poor man, for few dollars, can
obtain protection for his property
against rich man or powerful cor
poration. Congress. will have to
abolish the Supreme Court before it
can abolish the injunction. e
If we were congressman we would
certainly work for law to abolish
child labor, and we would certainly
refuse to help pass any law to estab-
llish compulsory labor. The constitu-
ton of the United States already
forbids compulsory labor-except for
breaking the law. We rather think
that a sales tax would be beneficial
to the entire country. 1t might be
best to raise all our, revenues that
way-that is, if it was wisely admin
istered. 1t would be just to all, rich
and poor, do away with horde of
Office holders and reduce many intri-
cate economic problems to the simple
question of supply and demand. There
fore, there is little probability of it's
being adopted.
IL organized labor would take. close
notice, it would see that the country
| is steadily going further and further
into federal education, and that the
average laboring man who owns. no
real estate, and consequently pays
few taxes, obtains the principal
benefit from it. The farmer who owns
lands and buildings must pay heavily
| for the education of his children-the
man in town living in a rented house
pays nothing but his poll tax, and
education, not only federal but state,
county and municipal, reaches his
children before it does those of the
man out in the country.
The questions about the army and
navy, shipyards, etc., mean but one
thing, and that is that in case of an
other war union labor expects to stay
in highly paid jobs, while non-union
labor goes to fight the enemy.a
What's the use of union labor ask
ing about Newberry, as long as it has
Connors, or of profteers as long as
it has extortion and overwhelming
graft in it's building trades? The
world is full of meanness and union
labor has it's proportion, and the
strong desire to put its proportion
above all other proportions.
It's the Stars opinion that some
demagogue drew up the list of ques-
tions to congressman, and that we'll
informed and sensible union men will
disapprove of them.

DEMOCRATIC DOLLARS

That little lonesome dollar we spoke
of in our last did not go long without
company. Saturday evening we met
a lady voter, and she said she had
been brought up in a republican town
and it had everlastingly made dem
ocrat of her. We asked her what her
name was and she said it was Mrs.
Cash and gave US dollar bill for her
visiting card. Soon after, we met
Harry Borland, who settenup, and as
he fished dime out of his pocket to
pay for the dopes, he also unlocked a
dollar bill, which he said he had
thought of giving every time he didn't
see US for the last month.
Now, if lady brought up in a re-
publican town can give democratic
dollar, some of you ladies who had
the good luck to be brought up in a
democratic town should show your
appreciation of that great happiness.
We have twenty-five men to only two
good women on our list, which makes
us fear that the men have either more
patriotism or more dollars than the
women. Howsomedever, we will guar
antee that our two contributing lady
citizens are 100 per cent patriotic
and we should like to receive assur-
ance that there are more like them.
AS for the he-cits that are going to
come in on this hand, we venture to
remind them that the eleventh hour
has now been cut down to thirty
seven minutes and thirty ticks.

Mr.. M. NJ. Little, the shoe merchant,
has Bible that will delight any an
tiquary or printer to look at. The
inscription on it's first page says,
printed and sold by Isaac Collins,
Trenton, MDCXIII." The Trenton is
Trenton, N. j., and the date 1893. The
Bible is therefore 129 years old. Col
Inns. was evidently a master printer,
this Bible, tho much used, being in
better condition than many we have
seen a tenth of its age. Six or seven
of the last chapters of Revelations are
torn off; otherwise the Bible is al
most as good as new. The print is
excellent. 1t was printed from new
type, and the paper much better than
that ordinarily used for book printing
now. One thing. only makes it diff
cult to read, and that is the long let
ter S, in those days shaped like an
f with the cross left off. S was then
a long double curve, and might have
remained so if printers had not been
bothered by the lower end constantly
breaking off, so they cramped it up
into its present form. The Bible was
first the property of Thomas Turk,
who wrote in it, Thomas Turk, his
Bible, Dec. 13, 1896" The Bible was
given Mr.. Little by beloved friend,
now gone on before, and he values it
most highly.

Mayor John W. Martin of Jack
sonville says there is much less
disorder and crime in his city
now than there was when it had open
saloons. He moreover says that he
thinks that if Jacksonville now had
open saloons, in addition to reckless
auto drivers, it's condition would be
worse than it ever has been. Mayor
Martin stands up for his town. He
admits that it has it's failings, but
claims that it is more orderly and
law-abiding than the average city OF
its size. A strong confirmation OF
his assertion is found in the fact
that tho the population of Jackson.
vile has increased greatly in the last
few years, it has a smaller police
force than in 1915.

Mrs. J. p. Milton of Hazelhurst,
Ga, formerly Miss Penny Nix of near
Kendricka writes that lady near her
new home was so impressed with the
beauty Of the name tOcala" that she
bestowed it upon her little daughter.
This is the second girl that we have
heard of being given the name-the
first being a member of an Ocala
family. We cannot help wondering
that more Ocala parents do not name
their daughters after their home city
"Ocala" is pretty name and very
unusual. The Star would advise any
Ocala family expecting daughter to
take this fact into consideration.

with Mayor Martin because beggar
was seen plying his trade in full view
of the mayors Office Saturday. We
daresay Mr.. Martin, if he had seen
that fakir, would have rushed out and
grabbed him by the collar and hauled
him to the hoosgow. But just at that
time Mayor Martin was a hundred
miles away, up here in Ocala, having
a pleasant visit with his Marion
county friends. For goodness sake,
does the mayor of Jacksonville have
to work every day? Ocala lets hers
take little trip every once in awhile.

Plastic Magnesite Plant
Building at Valley

That the magnesite industry of the
southern part of Stevens county will
soon become an extensive one is evil
denced by the successful results of
experiments which have been carried
on for several years at Valley by
the American Mineral Production Co.
At the laboratory in Valley the
manufacture of plastic magnesite for
building purposes has been the sub
ject of constant experimentation,
and visitors have been amazed at
the beauty of the colorings which
have been shown in plastic magne-
site for flooring, tiling, bathroom
lining, etc.
Magnesite is absolutely fireproof,
and the ground magnesite is laid in
plastic form by the addition of acid.
The result is a hard fireproof and
waterproof surface, which can be
made in any color. 1t will withstand
the shrinkage or expansion of floors

The Hard Cider Club
Makes Strong Appeal

The Hard Cider Club of Colville is
the latest organization for Stevens
county 1t is now a permanent or
ganization and the recruiting for
members is meeting with the hearty
approval of the organizers. All the
brethren seem very anxious to get
on the club roster. Quite a number
have already joined and nothing def
mite can be related yet, as they
seem to be operating under very
strict rules to keep the main actions
Of the club quiet until most of the
apples in the country can be corner
ed. 1t was learned, however, that a
lot of the new emembers raised a
kick on being bound to make such
little use of the cider for internal
use, as they figured that their shoes
could go unpublished, hair needed no
shampoo, and guns are as general
thing laid up until hunting season,
and many breezy arguments ensued
to down the idea of such uses.
1t is an assured fact that the Col
vile Hard Cider Club is now under
way, and it is thought that auxiliary
clubs will be fast formed at nearby
towns, as many have been heard
from, and the future prospects look
h,.iarbf

C0LvILLE TEAM
WINS IN DEBATE
Second Victory in the S.ries
Among the East SIDE
High Schools

The second debate in /the series
between east side high 4 schools OF
the state gave Colville/i second vic
tory last week Friday night. Col
vile upheld the affirmative against
Walla Walla on the sales A>x ques-
ton, and has thus secured a victory
on each side of the question, having
won from Spokane on the negative
at the previous debate.
Colville's team was the same as
before, comprising Howard Casey,
Marcelle Bunge and Enos Rice. The
judges of the debate were Pref. H.
C. Blair of Spokane, Prof. George
Craig of Cheney and Prof. McMahan
of Deer Park.
Walla Walla debaters were Virgil
Baker, John Thomas and Maynard
Baldwin, coached by Prof. Russell
Blakenslig.
The Colville team was coached by
Miss Marjorie Heaton. Howard
Casey was i'll with tonsilitis for two
days before the debate, and it was
not expected that he would be able
to take part, hence substitutes were
ready, but he took his part under
difficulties and spent the next day
in bed.
On the same evening in Spokane,
Yakima high school defeated Lewis
and Clark, this making three VIC
tories for Yakima. At the present
standing, the five debating teams
have not debated an equal number OF
times. Yakima has won three times,
Colville twice. Spokane and Walla
Walla have each lost twice, and
Wenatchee lost once.
On March Colville will go to
Wenatchee, and on March 10 to
Yakima. Colville will support the
negative at both places.
The real value of such debates
lies not in securing decisions, but in
securing valuable practice in de-
batting against strange opponents, in
unaccustomed surroundings, and be-
fore impartial judges. Colville's
debaters represent the smallest city
and the smallest high school en-
gagged in the series; and the results
thus far give plenty of evidence of
the character of instruction which
the Colville' high school is giving its
students in the forensic art. The
best wishes of Stevens county will
go with the Colville boys to their
final debates, for they are already
winners regardless of the outcome of
the final ones.

BACHELORS CLUB

Colville Bachelors Club has not
been organized, but interest is being
shown by the bachelors around
town, and a decided interest has been
shown by quite a number of the Col
vile girls. 1t is evident that they
would like to see such an organiza-
tion take place and it is now up to
the bachelors to get busy. One fatal
mistake made by some clubs has
been the failure to let the married
men in the club 1t has been found
that they should not be barred, as
they prove worthy advisers of the
poor fellows who have not been for
tunate to be divinely blessed.
There seem to be quite humber
of the brethren who think it will
make them eligible for marriage right
away. This is a mistake, as the
main object Of the club is to fit the
worthy bachelors for their life of
martyrdom. There is enough interest
being shown that the organization
ought to be a certainty soon.

WILL ENFORCE
INITIATIVE LAW
Signers Must Be Careful to
Observe Rules of
Procedure

Signing initiative petitions is likely
to become as restricted a pastime
as signing promissory notes.
This is the open season for initia-
tive petitions, and there will soon be
lots of them in circulation. But
those who sign them should heed the
advice of the secretary of state, who
has announced that all violators of
the law in regard to signing will be
punished.
Prosecuting Attorney o. w. Noble
has been informed that he will be
given the list of names of violators
of the law, and that he must enforce
the laws penalty.
The law provides that a person, in
order to lawfully sign an initiative
petition, must be legal voter,
registered voter, and that he must
not sign any kind of Il petition more
than once. If there are several
copies Of the petition being circulat-
ed in the same vicinity he must
watch that he does not sign more
than one of them.
The law compels the secretary of
state to canvass the names on petit
tions, and to supply prosecuting at
toneys with the names of such per-
sons who are liable to prosecution
After the 1920 referendum petitions
had been checked in Olympia, a list
of more than 100000 names of il
legal signers had to be compiled and
sent to prosecuting attorneys. 1t
cost about $4,000, or Is cents a
name to check and reject these un-
lawful names, and several hundred
dollars more to tell the county at
torneys about them.
The initiative law simply means
voting by petition, and of course re-
quires the voter to be legal voter.
People who are not legal voters,
duly registered, are thus placing
themselves in the position of illegal
voting by signing an initiative, re-
ferendum or recall petition, and this
constitutes a misdemeanor under the
election laws of the state.

Commissioners Plan
to Sell County Farm

Hearing on the proposition to sell
the county poor farm and personal
property of the farm will be held by
the commissioners today. The value
of the poor farm realty is estimated
anywhere between $2500 and $500,
and the personal property is worth
only a few hundred dollars. The
cost of maintaining patients at the
county farm is about $35 a person
per month, the contract for food and
care being $40 per month each, and
overhead expenses of clothing, eX-
tras and upkeep of farm bring the
total up to about $35. The COM
missioners have Investigated the
proposition carefully and are con-
vinced that saving can be made
bv proper management, and have
plans IN hand to do it.
Contrary to some suppositions, the
commissioners have no intention OF
moving the headquarters of county
patients from Colville. The county
owns land east of the city, with
water right, where a home can
some day be built if necessary. At
present there is a possibility that
contract system of care of patients
will prove cheaper than the system
in vogue for so many years, and
this would do away with constant
upkeep of the buildings at the old
county farm. By putting the pres
ent holdings on the tax rolls; and
entering upon contracts for care Of
patients, it is believed that q ma
terial present saving can be made,
and the proceeds of the sale will be
in the county treasury.
Patients now at the county farm
are Merle Crane, w. H. Collins, Fred
Stoltz, Swan johnson, Frank M.
Pierce, II. T. Wynd, VIM. Fossberg,
Alfred H. Brickell, Peter Coli, E. S.
Serog, Frank Junger, Glen Churchill,

Report of Cow Testing
Work During January

The dairy class of the Colville
high school, under the supervision
of Prof. f. C. Durdle of the Smith
Hughes department, tested 20 cows
during January with the following
results.
The list gives the cows name,
owner, pounds butterfat for the
month, and percentage of average
test. The Harris cows are Holstein,
the Kohlstedt and Myers cows are
