The Palouse country dirt roads are
getting in condition now for the road

The Occur d'Alene American gives
the Palouse country credit with fur
nishing the dust for the two recent
dust storms. We're not guilty and |

There is considerable fear expressed
that some day the white man will
lose his supremacy-will be crowded
off the earth by the swarming mil
lions of Asiatics. The ST. Louis Star
does not see the yellow menace, but
rather sees the danger in white de-
generation and says as long as Ameri-
cans and Europeans maintain their
past record for moral and intellectu-
al leadership, their destiny is secure
The danger lies in the tendency to-
ward an easy life, and toward dissipa-
ton.

cause she had invested her savings in
the worthless stock of the L. r. Steel
corporations. There should be some
positive means of preventing the sale
of worthless stocks to the American

that they are perfectly capable of
looking out for themselves but not in
frequently find that they have been
duped by some smooth-talking indivi-
dual and have in their strong box, in
the place of some good government {
securities, or a bank book some 6
worthless paper. Then there is a
class of Americans, many of them I
but also considerable sprink- !,
ling of men, who know but little of !
business and Of values, but who have +
implicit faith in human nature and | Z
take the word of any bunco steerer t
who happens along 1t would not be q
carrying paternalism too far for the :
government to protect these people
rom scoundrels who deliberately lie :.
hem out Of their savings. +
