The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1922-09-06

The board of trustees of Independ-
ent School District No. 5. is made
up of substantial, straight thinking
and straight acting men, who work
tremendously together and give their
support to Superintendent Soulen in

up to a high standard. The reelec-
ton of a member of the board, and
the choice of another well known and
capable man to succeed retiring
member, practically without opposi-
ton, insures a continuance of this
safe and satisfactory management of
the districts affairs.

Notwithstanding the fact that we
are having some cool weather, there
is no particular reason to don your

A writer remarks that the ladder
of life is full of splinters, but we
do not realize until we begin to slide

The consistency of legislators is
shown in loud and long protests
against bureaucracy, followed by the
of bills to create new
An eastern exchange remarks:
There are nearly 100000 miles of =,
railroad track in the United States,
with veins of coal varying in thickness,
some in thickly settled communities,
some in mountain districts. Why
should the state legislatures under the
suise Of "humanitarianism," pass
avs which Lewis says will prevent
any coal being mined in Illinois or {
indiana until he gives the word? 1t
S time for the great majority of the
people to demand their rights. They
iced no more government bureaus ,
covering the entire country. They :
want no compromises with those who {

licable to less submissiveness to
iompers, Jewell and Lewis and more
consideration of 100000 people"

The farmers of the country are con- a
their bit toward the restor- e
ton of normalcy. The farmer has s.

me and there are no rules and regu IL
tions pertaining to the conditions p'
lder which they labor.
