Entered t the post office at Milford as second class mail matter I I POINTERS "He kept us out of" the White House. Resolved that crow isn't nearly so good as rooster. Wasn't the second Lyceum Course entertainment entertain-ment worth the money? "What's in a name?" And yet, the name of the Mexican murdered the other morning was Finis. In 1912 California was three weeks in the Democratic De-mocratic column before it got right, will history repeat? re-peat? o Carranza says he wants only one term as president presi-dent of Mexico. Seems as though we'd heard that before, some place. The Allies have repulsed the Germans at Dra-gosavele. Dra-gosavele. They will probably next attack Etaoin or Durjuborskypqtby. The starch trust has been ordered dissolved as a punishment for "unfair methods of competition." Pretty stiff sentence. The present county school board is working together to-gether nicely, and is accomplishinv good results. Why not let "well enough alone" and re-elect 'em. If the business people of Milford would get all advertising and job copy in early, they'll get better results, as we then can use more time on the work. Princess Alice,the big elephant of Liberty Park, Salt Lake, ran amuck this week, broke down fences, ran across lots and took to the mountains. Since the election one can hardly blame her. The president has received congratulations from several foreign nations, on his evident reelec-tion,but reelec-tion,but the names of the monarchs will not be given giv-en out until after the Republicans concede Democratic Demo-cratic victory. That's right. Better be sure about it first. One of the most discourteous acts of the British Brit-ish that has been recorded in the big war, is the capture cap-ture of the Dutchmen's breakfast the other morning, morn-ing, just as "first call" was sounded. Nations may kill and maim in war, but when they resort to stealing steal-ing the very pancakes out of the mouths of their enemies, it is going a little too far. n : HAIL TO THE CHIEFTAN The News is in receipt of the first copy of the Piute Chiertan it has yet seen and has put he "big chief" on its mailing list. The Chieftan is published in Marysville, Utah, by Andrew Jensen and appears to be a live wire. We salute you, Brother Jensen. o DID WE WIN? The state board of health of Utah is holding a "Clean Town" contest. Agents have been sent far and wide to visit towns and communities in search for the ideal "Spotless Town," and the decision of the judges will be announced Monday. Did you know Milford had been visited? Sure thing. Only one little unimportant detail may keep Milford from winning the prize, - - she neglected to clean up. o WHY NOT? If "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" then the Beaver County News should feel immensely immense-ly flattered. In the Washington County News, November 2, appears the account of the lecture given in St. George, by Hon. Nels Darling, which article, as a whole is almost a complete "rehash" of the account of the Milford lecture by the same gentleman a few weeks ago, published in the Beaver County News. ; In fact, the greater portion of the article in question is a verbatim copy, word for word, line for line, of our account of the local lecture by Mr. Darling. Dar-ling. This appears to be a good idea, Where a lecturer is to repeat his talks in many towns within a certain radius, why not let the newspaper frst in line write the account and pass it on to the others, in order to save wear on brain cells? The s-ond entertainment of the Lyceum course will be written up this week. Watch for it, Brother Wallis. GIVE 'EM THE LIMIT When two steamer loads of I. W. W. members "open shop" principle in Everett, they expected the striking shingle weavers to break down the "open shop" principle in Eferett, they expected trouble in landing. They said so before they started start-ed and they were armed for trouble. When the sheriff and his deputies attempted to prevent the landing of the mob as being a menace to the peace and good order of the town, that official and six other oth-er men were shot and killed. When a burglar enters a house, armed with a gun, he expects to use the gun if cornered. He is, therefore, a potential murderer. mur-derer. These I. W. W. rowdies were expecting to kill somebody if their plans, were thwarted, and they did. Seventy of the thugs are now being held for trial, on a charge of "unlawful assembly." No matter mat-ter how heavy the penalty the law provides for this offence, the outlaws may thank their lucky stars that the real crime which they committed was not charged against them. Even as it is, give 'em the limit. Those who have no respect for law should be taught that respect in an effective manner. o UNFORTUNATELY PREMATURE As will be noticed elsewhere in this edition, an organization has been effected locally, by which a public reading room is to be opened and a debating club maintained. This is a good idea and a laudable effort on -the part of the promoters for the public good, but it is a little unfortunate that, instead of making a separate organization of the matter, the same idea was not included in a community club, thus doing away with a multiplicity of organizations. The community club is the real way to go about the solving of common community problems, and could just as well as not include the ideas and scope of the club just formed. The News has advocated, ad-vocated, and does yet, the formation of a community club as the only sensible and systematic method of covering all the needs of the community under one organization. Let's have such a club and endeavor to have the organization just effected, most excellent and beneficial bene-ficial in itself, merge its existance into the larger and broader plan of community welfare. The News thoroughly believes in the public library li-brary and debating club idea and will assist it all it can, but is considerably disappointed that the, larger plans, by which all would be more generally benefitted, bene-fitted, were lost sight of in the action just taken. . o WILL THE PEOPLE HELP? Under the present 7 o'clock closing system in force among most of the local stores, clerks and proprietors have little time for social recreation or self improvement. It means that they must be late at evening entertainments en-tertainments which begin at a reasonably early hour' or miss them altogether. But if conditions are bad under a 7 o'clock closing clos-ing system, what would they be under a 9 o'clock closing arrangement? Would not such an agreement agree-ment among the stores kill the social life of the younger people and quench every spark of community commun-ity spirit? Undoubtedly. But is there a probability of a 9 o'clock closing agreement by the merchants? There is, at least, grave danger of such a thing coming to pass. As it is now, most of the stores close at 7 o'clock, but some do not. Those who remain open until the late hour to accomodae their customers, should have relief. re-lief. The stores are the servants of the people and so long as the people find it necessary to visit the stores after 7 o'clock p. m., so long will proprietors and clerks have to sacrifice hours of rest and recreation recre-ation rightfully their own. If the public would arrange ar-range its affairs so that it would be unnecessary for any store, outside, possibly of the drug stores, to remain open after 7 p. m., danger of the adoption of a 9 o'clock closing hour would be averted. But as it is now with some stores remaining open after 7 p. m., there is, naturally dissatisfaction on the part of those stores which have adopted the early closing clos-ing hour and have gotten their customers used to such an arrangement. There .is more danger of a return to late closing hours than can be elaborated upon at this time. It is for the public to say whether they wish the social life of the town endangered and an injustice done to clerks and proprietors bv a. 9 o'clock or later closing hour every night in the week, or whether they think that all commercial trading can be accomplished by 7 p. m. The News will gladly welcome discusv'on of the subject and publish any opinions received. : i i ! $ R. II. lMTCHFORTH, GEORGK JEFFERSOX, ! T President. Vice President. A K. H. STREET. J Cashier.
