The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1910-02-19

At the last election the voters of this state evil
IDENTIFY thought they could put up with the repub-
lican party for another term. Now they find they
are putting up for it.
A food expert announces that 20 cents day is
sufficient to spend for food for one person. The
republican administration, with the assistance
of the favored trusts, could afford to pay this man
good salary for instilling his idea into the minds
of the working people;
The new Spokane paper, the Inland Herald an
nounces that it is strictly republican paper Even
at that, it is good one, and the Spokane repub-
licans are banking considerably on it's influence in
the coming campaign, for it is not an 'insurgent''
or rebel or an agitator, or a republican sheet
with democratic background Of course the
Statesman-Index of this city says that most of
the people of the Inland Empire feel that this
paper is not needed in Spokane any more than
cart needs three Wheels" which is only another
evidence that real, genuine, honest republican
paper is feared by the gentleman who wants to
get out of Colville. A genuine democrat is not
afraid OF, and genuine republican welcomes,
genuine republican paper anywhere, but half
way man with halfway measures and long legs to
straddle fences does not look kindly upon paper
which advocates one set of principles and sticks to
them.
Here's what Murphy says in the Northport Re-
publican. We hate to publish it, but do so on
request from President Taft: 'And A. E. Veatch
former editor of the Covle Reveille and supporter
of democratic principles says he is candidate for
congress on the republican ticket. Wouldn't this
be considered one of the greatest jokes of the
son by the funny papers? No wonder such an
able statesman as Uncle Joe is frowned upon by a
class of egotistical nonentties short brains, but
overloaded with gall. The insurgents are indeed
beginning to show their true colors. In the main
they are composed of the rif-raf of the democratic
party, ousted from that organization because of
disoyalty, and now by every means in their
power doing their best to currupt and create dis
satisfied feeling in the republican ranks"
In speaking of the Veatch congressional candi-
dacy, Editor Ives Of the Humdinger says there is
no doubt but that Veatch will run like the very
devil-if he sees Heifner or Beggs anywhere.
T. Roosevelt hunter, whose presence has been
conveniently absent while my policies were being
carried out by his fat friend, announces that he de-
sires only simple reception when he returns to
this country He is thoughtful to let this be known
in advance so that there will time for sufficiently
elaborate preparations to make it simple
The state railway commission has adopted rule
regarding railroad crossings of highways. Steam
or electric lines asking permission to cross must
at their own expense so grade the county road to
give level grades at all grade crossings for 20 feet
each side of the center line of the track and that
the grade of the highway approaching the cross
ing shall be graded to not exceed five per cent,
unless greater grade now exists on the country
road in that immediate vicinity.
It is facetiously announced that this ruling will
be enforced. Various points in Stevens county
will remain in doubt as to the railroad commission
enforcing anything which the railroads do not
want enforced. 1t will be remembered that long
time ago this commission visited this county, 1t
gave its orders, and smoothly rode away-in
special train under the direct supervision of the
