FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT.

The Press is fearless in exposing
wrong methods in politics and among
public officials. In giving the peo-
pie information regarding the unfit
ness Of Bartlett Sinclair tor the ap-
pointment to a position as deputy
county attorney We mentioned his al
Legged crooked Philippine record.
Sinclair and his political associates
and supporters conceived the idea
that it would be shrewd political
move To have rs arrested on the
charge Of criminal libel. The matter
was fully discussed and two or three
days before the arrest County Attor-
ney Wbitla informed persns in this
city that the arrest was to be mad e.
Sheriff Donst came TO Ceour d'Alene
with the warrant and took particular
pains TO show it to a number of
people before serving the same. In
Rathdrum the matter was kept pro-
found secret. AL Filson, Of the North
Idaho News was to have been arrested
the following day, but the matter was
reconsidered when II became known
that our arrest had resulted in a big
revolt in the county, and at Occur a.
Alene In particular. Instead of ben.
citing the republican ticket, IL
caused many republicans to announce
thai machine methods In the manipu,
lation Of the county Offices were bad
enough, but when the ring resorted
70 such schemes as arresting those OPP
posed to its methods il was too much.
Many declared they would vote the
straight democratic ticket, which Is
composed Of clean men fighting for
the best interests Of the people.
On account Of the uncertain posi-.
gticn o. the republican machine ticket
ON county division, high taxes, ring
rule and the disreputable attacks Of
Sinclair and his henchmen, we pre-
dict that the democratic ticket will
have from 400 70 400 majority in
Occur d'Alene alone. This predie-
tion Il based on the fact that the
leading republicans among business
men and citizens are supporting the
democratic ticket ON principle and
for honest government.
