A REPORT comes from Caur d

A REPORT comes from Cpur d.
Alene that a tract "worth as
much as all the county realty in
Rathdrum" has been selected
there to be donated free to the
county for a court house site in
the event that the county seat
is removed to that city. This
is the merest subterfuge to in
fiuence the unwary voter.
Three years ago when Ceur d.
Alene thought it had the county
seat by legislation there was no
thought OF giving the county a
free site. On the other hand they
asked about three prices for the
sites they offered for sale to the
county. Occur d'Alene did not
need votes then; now it does, and
il it can get votes by promises
OF a free site the promise can be
repudiated after the election.
Let the doner of the "free site"
place a deed in escrow for the
county pending the result OF the
election. Let no voter be de-
ceived by smooth promises.

The Game Of Wildcat 10 q jolly One
With Trick In II.
In the game of wildcat but one
person should know the secret. If
there are others they should pre-
tend ignorance, so as not to spoil
the game. This person announces
that he will first give each member
of the company the name of some
animal and that afterward, when
one of the names given is called,
the player having received it must
do whatever he is told. Then the
names are given to each in whis-
per, with the strict injunction to
keep it secret till the proper time.
Instead Of receiving separate names
everybody has been given the one
word "Wildcat."
Then the leader, taking his stand
at the door (the narrower the bet
teri, says: "Now, all ready. The
first animal whose name l call must
get to the opposite side of the next
room before do or pay a forfeit y
Then, calling7"Wildcat," he rushes
through the door, with. of course,
the whole company in hot pursuit,
all realizing when too late that they
have been sold.

In order to revive the tagging
hopes OF C9ur d'Alene, Mr.. Mon
tandon OF st. Maries has told
them that the average citizen OF
his town does not have much
faith in any agreement between
st. Maries and Rathdrum, and
that seven-tenths OF the voters
Of the former will favor Cnur d.
Alene for the county seat. His
representation has had the de.
sired effect apparently and Ceur
d'Alene is pleased at his efforts
in their behalf. But what does
Mr.. Montandon's argument
amount to? He entirely over
looks the true phase Of the
county seat question as it affects
st. Maries. 1t is not whether or
not Rathdrum can reciprocate
to st. Maries in the future for
the latter's support at this time,
but what effect the removal OF
the county seat to CGur d'Alene
will have on st. Maries' future
prospects OF getting a county
seat, that should be considered
by the loyal citizens DIST. Maries.

The JOURNAL says C9ur a.
Alene has raised $4,000 to ex-
pend in it's effort to secure the
removal of the county seat.
This is a large sum and anyone
who gives the subject any
thought must realize that such
a sum cannot be spent honestly
in any campaign in this county
and the raising OF that amount
and heralding the fact over the
county is an insult to the integ-
rity OF the voters.

Of Intoxicating liquor is not under
cover of the licenses issued by mu-
nicipal authorities. He states that
the railways pay the United States
government a tax, but the internal
revenue tax is levied for revenue
only, and its payment cannot be
construed as in any way regulat-
ing nor legalizing the traffic, SO the
payment of this tax does not au-
thorize the sale on trains, if it is
otherwise unlawful.

Peterson, lis that the sale is un-
lawful, and that chapter 16 of the

The Montevideo Leader suggests
D. H. Evans Of Tracy as good DEM
ocratic congressional timber and
urges him to contest the election
with Mr.. Volstead. Mr.. Evans is
a Bryan democrat and was active
in the attempt to deprive Gov.
johnson of the state at Denver. It
rather looks as though all this was
too fresh in the minds of the
voters to make Mr.. Evans a very
desirable candidate on the ticket.
MIR. Volstead may have opposi-
tion two years hence but it will not
come from Mr.. Evans or the DEM
ocratic party.-Ortonville Herald
Star.
No one who knows Dave Evans
will question his honesty or SINGER
ity in whatever course he takes in
politics and the Johnson men think
no less of him because he was loyal
to his convictions in supporting
the great Nebraska Commoner.
Mr.. Evans is a good campaigner
and can tell in forcible and intelli-
gent language the reason for the
faith that is in him. If he should
conclude to run for congress Mr..
Volstead would know he had fight
on his hands from the opening to
the close of the campaign. Martin

The Sentinel represents exactly
the position of the friends of John
son in this matter. There is no
bitterness against the men who
honestly believed that Bryan ought
to be nominated, and no one who
knows. Evans will ever doubt that
he was sincere in his advocacy of
Bryan, nor did he do it in such
manner as to cause any sore feel
ings, the way Jim Manahan and a
few men of his stripe did. Mr..
Evans is as we'll qualified to repre-
sent the people as any man in the
district, and the Tribune hopes that
he will make the race.

Enthusiastic For Home County


Minneapolis, July IS, 1908.
Editor Tribune::--
A few days ago a noted German
educator landed upon American
shores to study the American edu-
cational system.
Arriving at famous college of
learning in the East, he asked the
most prominent member of it's fac
ulty where to 60 and find the best
results IN our system of education.
This man answered.: ''You need
not look for it in New York nor on
this side of the Mississippi. You
might stop a while at Michigan but
pass on as rapidly as you can to
Minnesota, stay there and carefully
investigate and examine, and after
that you will have little or nothing
left to observe in our states.''
We ought to feel proud of such
a compliment from the "cultured
East" as a people of this North Star
state, but as a people of this county
we ought to feel prouder still of
knowing that our county made the
best showing in the recent state ex-
aminations. It speaks we'll for our
schools, their management and in
tructors, as we'll as the intelligence
and progress of our people,.
AS | travel thru different parts of
our state, it is gratifying to hear
of the many nice compliments given
our county as being clean, intelli-
gent and industrious. And especi-
ally we'll does it sound as one hears
the remarks passed upon other COM
munities of our commonwealth who
have not yet risen to very high
conception of true progress.
The fame of the remark that
"our sheriff spends his time plant
ing flowers in the courthouse yard, "
seems to have spread thruout the
state. Let us therefore keep our
record good and strengthen it if we
can.
Yours truly,
Victor Knutson.
