WE WELCOME THEM AND HONOR
THEM

WE WELCOME 1f1EM AMI HUMID
THEM
The Star-Mirror, in behalf of the
citizens of Moscow and the Universe
ty Of Idaho, extends a cordial vel
come to the pioneers who will assem-
BILE here tomorrow for the first annual
pioneers reunion at the University OF
Idaho. The thought of calling these
early day residents together at the
states great educational institution
was happy one. They will not only
have an opportunity to mingle to-
gether for few hours and recall in
cidents of the states earliest days
but they will have an opportunity to
see the progress that has been made
by the university and to get an idea,
those who seldom visit the university,
of the great work that is being accom-
plished, and to come in touch with the
verile student life in a way which they
cannot help but enjoy.
On the other hand, the faculty and
students of the university and the peo-
pie of Moscow will have an oppor-
tunity to greet many of the men who
have for years been honored residents
of the state. The burdens which fell
upon the shoulders of these men will
never fall upon the shoulders of the
younger generations. Idaho is no
ho, .d-
ships must be endured by the settler,
but rather, largely through the eff
forts and influence of the men who
are Moscow's guests now, and others
of their generation, many of whom
have passed over the last border, has
developed into one Of the VESTS pro-
gressive states, with its citizens enjoy
ing all that life offers to the residents
OF any state in the union.
The University of Idaho and the
City of Moscow may well stop for a
few hours to honor these pioneers
We only wish that more of them might
have lived to see their cherished Ida
no and its young institutions flourish
and grow, and to realize that much is
due to the solid foundation laid by
them in the years that have gone.

THE WOMAN IN THE SHADOW
A woman kills man and is en-
Enthusiastically acquitted by a suscepti-
BILE jury. Another woman, the widow
of the victim, is left penniless and
helpless. The jury never thought of
that result. Still another widow, also
made SO by the shooting of her hus-
enger," kills herself in despair, be-
lieving, in the light of the verdict in
the first case, that justice is not to be 1
looked for where woman is defend
ant. The jury never thought of that,
either, as logical possibility and
sequel to their finding. In fact, it
may be doubted whether they thought
of anything or were capable of think
ing in the real sense of the word. They
just sat there and gazed tearfully at
the picturesque prisoner and let their
hypnotized minds sozzle in tepid
bath of slushy sentimentality The
words of the suicide indict them: "All
she will have to d dis plead temper
airy insanity and the jury will free
her. Juries believe anything so long
as it isn't in their own families"
Perhaps it is possible to secure ~
males to try female slayer who will

present system. The average man is

nan in the foreground to consider the
innocent woman in the background of
