There is an old say- ing, “No news_is good news.” Let a man be ‘converted ata church service and there is not much of a stir, but let a resi- dent be convicted of some crime and the news leaps by word of mouth from one end of the com- munity to the other. How thoughtlessly unkind we sometimes are when neighbors of ours suffer misfortune. Trou- bles are bound to come to us all fn some shape or form and what we say about our friends and acquaintances today may apply to us tomorrow. News is no respector of persons. We are prone to consider the ways of others not our ways when we should we watching our own step. What folks say of one another sometimes hurts more than anything they could have done. News, either or bad, grows and becomes ex- aggerated and distorted with peddling. When the news is good it makes no material ditf- ference how it is exaggerated or distorted—it can never do anyone any positive harm. But bad news given wings, may bring sorrow and ruin uppn peo- ple who certainly are not deserv- ing of a punishment beyond the penalty of their mistake. ARAL tation | ot Us More charity for others will mean more charity for ounselves and we will gradually come to take a keener delight in report- ing something good or some per- son than something bad. Good is constructive, bad is destruc- tive. Just before you are about to let out a ‘bit of “bad news” stop and think a moment. See if you can’t think of something good to say in place of it. The chances are ten to one that you ean and that you will.—Asotin Sentinel. BOTH DID NOBLY. About two months ago an es- caped convict from the Califor- nia state penitentiary enticed a young girl from the city of Spo- kane to take an automobile ride with him into the country after winning her utmost confidence. The party motored towards Col- fax and on their way the escap- ed convict made desperate ef- forts to assault the girl. The girl, in her effort to defend herself preferred death to being assault- ed and jumped from the auto- mobile while the brute was driv- ing the car at 40 miles an hour. An officer than attempted to ar- rest the man for violating the traffic regulations and after placing him under arrest the upholder of the law was shot thru the lung. Both the girl and the officer recovered and the case received much publicity throughout the northwest but we are sorry to say that in only one or two cases was the girl’s name mentioned. The officer did only what was his sworn duty and for which he was being pai As for the girl, she de- fended her honor and name, in itself the greatest victory she should ever care to win, Both did nobly, but in your own heart for whom do you have the warm- est spot? WARNING Twelye months ago scores of persons of both sexes and -all ages who greeted with enthu- siasm open weather and the pleasures of the road were not on hand six months later to re- call their enjoyment. Careless- ness cut them off before their natural time had elapsed. If all who operate automobiles would resolve at the opening of the season to obey the law of the land and the dictates of con- science which demand care for one’s own life and limb as well as care for the lives and limbs of others, the end of the season would find an ‘appreciably dim- labor ing at least this part of the world safe for democracy. Considerable agitation has been heard within the last few weeks regarding the completion of the North and South highway thru the Cottonwood district to what is known as the twin houses. The distance is ap- proximately two miles and does not come under the present con- struction work. Ninety-five per cent of the business men are in favor of the highway board com- pleting this link as are also a large number of farmers. If the work could be completed this summer the Cottonwood district would have the distinc- tion of having the North and South highway completed thru its entire district. There are three distinct advantages of completing the work at~ this time: | First—It could be con- structed by the contractors now at work in the district and at probably the same price. Se- cond—No right-of-way would have to be bought and as the grade is practically standard very little expense would be en- tailed in putting the road in con- dition to receive the rocks. Third—lIt would give the district a graveled road from one end to the other. If you are in favor of the road being completed talk about it to your commissioners and boost for it. pe _? The city of Grangeville, thru good| its commercial club is making a desperate fight to have the South Fork road project reopen- ed whichwas declared abandoned some few weeks ago by the For- est Reserve under whose direc- tion the road was built. More than $200,000 was spent-on this project, $50,000 of which was raised by the Grangeville high- way district and if we are to be- lieve reports a real smart amount of this money was squandered. Win or lose one must at least admire. them for their fighting spirit and here’s hoping that the public at least inished list of mortality and mutilations. A man cannot by thought, however concentrated, hy add an inch to his stature, but | will thoughtful will learn where some of the money was spent. Senator Borah has taken up his residence in Idaho for the summer. Welcome senator. But no doubt it is the cause for much worry for some of the would-be- politicians who are doing their best to place Senator Borah on the political scrap heap. The convention system might accom- plish this fate but remember the voters still have the last say. Camas Prairie has the ear marks of having the largest crop this fall.in many years.
