COUNTY PRINTING.

The Moscow Journal and the indie
pendents are bowling that the republi-
cans are grating on county printing.
The News brands the charges as false
and defy the reformers to produce the
facts. Let US seel A year ago a re-
publican board, working for the interest
OF Latah county tax payers, compelled
w. D. Smith, the editor OF the Moscow
Mirror, now secretary OF the Reform
forces, to let go his graft on the county
printing in Latah county. A republi-
can board, accused of being grafters,
said to Mr.. Smith: You must take
your hand out of the public treasury.
This printing will hereafter be let to
the lowest bidder. What was the re-
sult3 Smith had been getting three
cents line for commissioners proceed
ings and eight cents line for every
line Of the quarterly and annual reports
of your county auditor and county treas
urer. But by virture OF the action OF a
republican county board, Messrs. An
derson, Pickering and Lamb, Reformer
Smith lost his graft and the people will
have been saved more than $1,000 dur
ing the year 1906. Is there any won
der Mr.. Smith is sore and is out fight
ing the republican party7 And is
there any reason for surprise when the
Moscow Journal bowls over county
printing that it cannot get at fat
price? Be not deceived. The re-
publican record on county printing will
bear the closest possible investigation
and we invite w. d. Smith or the Jour
nal outfit 10 talk about county printing
just as much as they please7 But
with their record for graft back Of
them, these angels Of purity had better
keep quiet.

deserving of support. Miss Dryden is
poo, honest, ambitious young woman
who is now employed as teacher in
the Lewiston public schools. She is
helping to support widowed mother
and by dire necessity is compelled to
stick to her position in Lewiston in
stead Of spending her time campaign
ing Latah county voters. BIT this fact
will not loose her a single vote among
the republicans Of this county. But
Miss Dryden was not nominated be-
cause she needed the office. The re-
publican party placed her upon then
ticket for the reason that she possesses
every qualification required to fill the
position creditably. She is graduate
OF the state University. and has had
practical work in both country and
city schools. She holds first grade
certificate and if elected will serve the
people creditably. Nor is there any
member of the Dryden family who, il
Miss Catherine is elected, will accom-
pany her and work off life insurance in
an old line company.

gate to the republican county conven-
ton in Moscow. Mr.. Austin says;
Now then just few words as to this
great boss machine, that Colonel Shaw
er has so much to say about. That is
quite a fabrication. The delegates
that went from here, to man know
nothing about anything Of the kind.
Not one of the 10 was ever approached
with any thing Of the kind. We voted
as we pleased and paid our own bills
and it is true we could not all be suit
ed with the choice OF the majority ol
that convention. Yet the people who
were there, the majority at least will
vote the ticket as it is. "A few chron-
ic soreheads that have the reputation
OF being first one thing and then an
other flom Socialists to Democrats and
then squeeze themselves back into the
Republican ranks and tumble out be-
cause they could not get following
enough to get nominated for some Of
fee, have joined in what is termed an
independent ticket.
Il will say without fear Of success
full contradiction that there is not q
man on that ticket but what has sacri-
feed every iota ofRepublican principle:
that he ever had, if he had any, and
there is not a true republican in Latat
county but what will bear me out il
this assertion. They may fool them
selves, but over here they will not foo
the voters very badly" J. D. Austin

CALLS LAMB A THIEF.

A. B. Towne, and every other re-
former" who is before the people in
this campaign, is making great many
charges Of very serious nature. They
are accusing Miss Moerder of being a
thief, and alleging that Auditor Ram
stedt is stealing public funds. They
declare that the public records are not
properly kept and Mr.. Towne even
goes so far as to declare, by implica-
ton and insinuation, that Commissioner
Ed. Lamb is party to monstrous
graft and is thief. Mr.. Towne says
the public records are being juggled,
and that the people should allow such
men as w. D. Smith, Col. Shaver, Dad
Barton, A. B. Towne, Frank Johnson,
Barley Bill, w. r. Trull, ad inhnitum,
to get into the court house and clean
out the thieves" But when pressed
for something besides his personal
opinion Mr.. Towne, at the Berry de-
bate, could not produce an iota OF any
thing resembling evidence. He said
Auditor Ramsted was stealing public
funds yet he could not cite single
instance nor point to single page in
the official records where such grave
charges could be verified. He was
defed to produce evidence and his
only reply was funny story" He
was asked for facts that would be adj
missable in a court Of justice and he
replied with more accusations based
upon nothing more substantial than
what A. B. Towne thought. He re-
sorted to falsehood, he appealed to
prejudice, he ignored facts, and by his
own admissions proved himself to be
capable of work beneath the notice Of
decent men.

DON'T TELL IT ALL.

w. R. Trull and other reform" ora
tors Cd are making sport of the claim
Of the republicans to the effect that
Latah county is out of debt and taxes
lower than any time in the history of
the county. They admit the levy is
lower but claim the republicans are
now collecting some hundred thousand
dollars year against about seventy
thousand dollars collected by their pre-
decessors. And then Mr.. Trull and
his fellow orators swell up and look
wise, expecting the voters to take the
bait. So far as the opposition go they
are correct but why do they not act
fairly and honestly in this matter? Why
not treat the people with some con-
sideration for the truth? What the tax
payers want are facts and all the facts.
Why does not Mr.. Trull and Mr.. Towne
and Windy" Smith and their col
leagues tell the people that it costs
more money to run Latah county to-
day than it did eight years ago7 Why
do they not tell the voters that during
the past eight years the republican
party has not only paid all the running
expenses of the county but have act
ually paid off over 100000 of indebt-
edness7 Why do they not say that
Latah county is for the first time in
the histor, of the county, OUT OF
DEBIT Why do they not tell the
people that Latah county has the low
est tax levy Of any county in Idaho?
Instead of being ashamed of the record
of the past eight years the republican
party points with pride to their
achievements and promise, if retained
in power, to still further reduce taxes.

Mrs. A. B. Towne is going over the
county asking the members of the
lodges to which her husband belongs
to help her get elected. This may be
legitimate but The News is unable to
see what right any lodge has to allow
Mrs. Towne to drag it into politics
and particularly to oppose a Door,
but worthy young lady like Miss Cath
crime Dryden. If there is a lodge in
Latah county that so far forgets itself
as to be party to work Of this kind
and permits Mrs. A. B. Towne to use
it for her political advancement such a
ledge is going beyond the point where
it has any right to go. The lodge
that will contribute in any way to the
defeat Of girl like Miss Dryden ought
to loose its charter.

WHO ARE THEY.

The News asks the people of Latah
county to forget for a moment their
partisanship and to look the situation
squarely in the face. Look at the men
who are posing before you as reformers
and who are to have control of county
affrirs if the Citizens Reform ticket is
successful. There i, Col. Barton, a
republican who fed at the pie counter
for years and who became a bolter the
moment he lost his job. His record
is known to the people of Latah county
and If the tax payers are not now salts
fed and desire to have such old ring
STEERS as Dad Barton run Latah county
all that is necessary is to vote the Cit
liens Reform ticket. If your not sat-
isfied to have your county printing
done by public bid with a saving Of
some thousand dollars per year vote
the citizens Reform ticket and once
more place w. D. Smith and Col.
Shaver where they can wax fat at the
expense of the taxpayers. You say
there is no danger and that these men
can be trusted2 If so you are ignor-
ant Of the record and ought to investi-
gate the case. Go over the entire list
OF men who are back of the reform
movement, look up their record and
judge from what they have done in the
past what you may expect Of them in
the future.

WHO DID IT?

w. D. Smith, A. B. Towne, Col.
Barton, w. R. Trull, and all the other
reformed" republicans who are out
working for the Citizens ticket are de-
voting lot of time to prove that Ass
SCISSOR Vaughn is an incompetent Off
cial and that his assessment of property
has been extremely unjust. The News
has not examined the records and is
not prepared to say whether or not the
charges of the opposition are true.
But suppose all they say is correct.
Why is that an excuse for voting
against Miss Pauline Moerder? What
in the world has Auditor Ramstedt to
do with the record Of Assessor Vaughn?
AS well hold Attorney Stillenger or
Judge Steele responsible. But if these
great republican "reformers" are stat
ing the truth and the record shows
Mr.. Vaughn to be incompetent who is
responsible? If anyone it is these
very reformers" for which of them
opposed either the nomination or
election of Assessor Vaughn? w. D..
Smith was very prominent figure in
the convention that nominated Mr..
Vaughn by reclamation and the files of
the Moscow Mirror, edited by w. D.
Smith during the last campaign will
show that w. D. Smith did all he

could to bring about the election of
the man whose record he now con-
dennis. And the same thing is true
Of every one Of the republican boilers
who is now condemning the public
record of Assessor Vauhgn. And if all
they say is true these "reformers" are
as much responsible as is the editor of
the Troy News. If Assessor Vaughn
has not given the county a fair assess
ment no one condemns the fact more
severely than does every republican in
Latah county. More than that the re-
publican party is not now asking the
voters to support Mr.. Vaughn. We
are running James Gemmill, a man
who has had four years practical ex-
perience in field work and who is
highly endorsed by both democrats
ane republicans throughout that portion
of Latah county where he has served
as deputy assessor.

Chris Hagen, who is running against
Barley Bill for commissioner of the
First district, was in Troy Wednesday.
He was confident Of election and well
pleased over the support he is receiv-
ing from life long democrats through
out the county. The News believes
Mr.. Hagen will defeat VIM. Leasure
by something like 1900 majority,
which, while certainly complimentary
to Mr.. Hagen, will show what the peo-
pie Of Latah county really think of a
man like Barley Bill Leasure. The
average voter is not favorably impressed
with a man who will cry equal taxa
tom and at the same time avoid the
payment of dollar OF taxes on some
fifty thousand dollars of wealth. Leas-
ure, the tax dodger, will get his dues
this time.

Jones, good morning. What has hap
pened? oh. l am just making an early
call. You've been having a nice lit
tie dispute with the gas company and
for once, thank God. the company has
lost. Now, don't try to talk. Just take
this medicine and rest quietly.
JONES'" continued the physician.
you have shown unusual GOODNESS and
judgment in the matter. Moving he
bed to the window was a fine idea. 1t
required considerable courage. too, to
come up here through n gas filled house
even If it We're your own wife and child
in peril. i wonder you don't feel the
effects of it more than you seem to
do
but DOCTOR exclaimed Jones. I
didn't open the windows; L didn't move
the bed. And the house was practic-
ally free from gas when 1 entered. L
can't understand it at ALL
That's certainly strange. Is there
no one else in the house? Where is the
girl?'
Thanks Unknown Benefactor.
II looked into her room. She isn't
there. She always spends Wednesday
nights at her own home"
Perhaps she didn't. Perhaps she's
somewhere below, unconscious or
dead. We'd better investigate"
There are windows open below" the
doctor continued, as they descended the
stairs together. There's a strong cur
rent of air passing through the house.
A fine thing. but all the more mystic
rious."
They found the windows raised in the
dining room, but no girl anywhere.
Look here, DIR. Roberts," cried Jones,
the sideboard is open and the silver
is cone"
THAT looks bad. Possibly your wife
put it in some other place. But, no.
Tbora hoc boon n h11rylar hara This
window has been forced. h latch is
broken and there are marks of a tool
here. Could he burglar have turned ON
the gas to murder the occupants of the
house,"
But why open the windows? And
how came the bed to be moved?"
True, Jones, that theory is unten-
able. But it's evident a burglar has
been in the house. Either he turned
on the gas or he foundi it escaping. The
circumstances make the first PROPOSE
ton ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Then there is but one explanation.

wife and baby. 1t. was he, not 1, who

German cooperative Stores.

Consul General Richard Guenther re-
ports from Frankfort that the annual
meeting of the association of German
cooperative stores was recently held
Mt Stettin, and that representatives of
similar national organizations were in
attendance as guests from Belgium.
Holland. England. Denmark, Austria
and switzerland.
The discussions and reports at this
convention were very instructive. The
system of forming associations for sup
plying the members With articles of
food, household goods, and other ar
ticles of use, thus dispensing with mid
dlemen, agents, and retail storekeepers,
all of whom derive a profit at The ex-
pense of the consumer, is highly devel-
oped in Germany, Great Britain, Den

crue to the benefit of the members)
were 1000, 900 n $4,000 900 marks, re-
s~pectively, for the years mentioned.
Many of these various retail cooper

chasing companies which supply them
at original cost; they are thereby en-
abled to secure lowest wholesale prices.

stores, %disposing of 100000, 900 marks
worth of goods per annum, the prin-
cipal one alone selling to the amount
of $1,000, 900 marks.
At this convention it was proposed to
