cause, rather than the effect, would
come into practice. A tiny. inside, hid

and gives strength to the stomach. A
branch also goes to the heart, and one
to the kidneys. When these "inside

The islander understands that the
county auditor accuses this paper of
having misrepresented him in two ref
erences which it has made to his re.
GENTLY published report. He is mis-
taken. The language and the figures
Of his report have been exactly quoted.
If they convey to the public wrong
impression it is he who is RESPONSE BILE
for it and not the editor of this paper.
He simply did not make his publish
ed report sufficiently explicit as to
items Of expenditure to give to the
taxpayers of the county the complete
information to which they are en-
titled. As stated in the islander last
week had he followed the custom of
his predecessors and itemized his re-
port more fully cit might have been
readily apparent to the taxpayers that
no items we're included under the
head of ''incidentals' that were not
perfectly legitimate and proper.

Dy the ne6O OF the lnOep0nO0DC
ticket and his associates in the effort
to disrupt the Republican party and
humiliate the most prominent Repub-
lican IN the county and one of the most
prominent in the state.
Nor did the 'most disgraceful and
insulting parade and celebration ever
known in the state'' originate with
the saloons. The key note of it was
sounded by the present prosecuting
attorney in speech at West Sound on
the 23rd of October in which he liken
ed the Republican organization in
this county to "band wagon" and
the "Deacon's One Hoss Shay
with the paint gone and many spokes
broken and of which he contemptuous-
ly represented "Old Mac'' to be the
driver. 'sWhen Old Mac goes down
the line every knee will bow,'' said
this favorite of many church people
and the W. G. T. u. and the very
men who of all men in the county had
for years been under the greatest obi
CATION to "Old Mac" we're loudest in
their applause. And who fixed up the
rickety red wagon used in the eds
graceful and insulting PARADE which
the anonymous Seattle circular charges
to the saloon keepers? 1t was done in
the barn of one of the county's leading
merchants and taxpayers. and
the principal beneficiaries of Hon.
Johu S. McMillin's political support
in former years we're among the ap-
parently most delighted spectators who
watched the creaking progress of the
"red wagon" up and down the street.
The liquor dealers who we're in bust
ness here when the ''independent man
hood of San Juan county, was thus
asserting itself were very bitter in
their opposition to the Islander and
its editor and soon after the close OF
the campaign they stopped their sub.
scriptions to the paper and have never
renewed them. The editor feels that
their we'll known attitude toward him
should exempt him from any charge
of partiality in their behalf in thus
reviewing the darkest chapter in the
county's political history and in ex.
pressing the opinion that it is unfair
to attempt to saddle upon them the
responsibility for an exhibition OF per.
sonal and political ingratitude on the
part of half dozen men, that is with.
out parallel in county politics.
