The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1911-09-30

QeLnOcraClc congress, ana CnoreDy hangs Cale VI
woe for republicanism in this country, tale that
will be fully told at the next presidential and con-
gressional election by the people of this country in
their votes.
Canada claims that the agreement is more favor
able to America than to Canada and that for that
reason she turned it down.
On the other hand the bitter fight which was
waged in our congress against reciprocity this
spring by republicans was upon the claimed basis
that reciprocity was harmful to the United States.
Somebody lied that's all.
The solid democratic party favored reciprocity
because it would be starter in tearing down the
tariff wall built up by years of republican effort to
favor certain manufacturing interests which in
turn contributed to republican campaigns.
Some few stand -patters and some of the insur-
gents favored it also but the greater part of these
two factions managed to make the fight so warm
and to stir up so much discussion that some of our
people really to believe that the bill would be
against their interests while the Canadian side
other arguments were used to make the bill appear
against Canadian interests. And all the time the
only interests affected at all by the bill were the
interests" of Wall street under the protection of
the republican party.
Through no fault of the democrats, this bill has
now been lost by Canada's refusal to accept it,
and Wall street is happy. 1t is said that much
American money was spent in Canada to help
defeat the bill on that side after had been passed
on this Who spent it? Well, you can guess. It
wasn't our United States democrats of that you
are certain.
In view of the facts which have at last all come
to light, the people of the United States can now
which party is friendly to the great mass of the
American people, and you can rest assured that
| 90 10 a. ,boo Of
Importance comes before congress, the congress
will have been weeded out thoroughly of its present
rank growth of Wall street representatives, and
bill can be passed without fight lasting six mon
tbs, leaving no chance for the intrigue which has
at last killed this important measure.
Have you ever noticed that the Colvile Examiner
is the only paper in Stevens county which devotes
any editorial space to national or party politics
throughout the year. but that when election time
rolls around the other papers wake up and loudly
support the republican tickets regardless of men
or policies?
The Examiner sometimes wonders if the other
papers in the county really have any politics. If
store doesn't advertise you don't expect it to carry
much of line of goods
Now it may be that the trend of political affairs
makes it dangerous for supposedly republican
paper to say anything about the actions of its party
and in that case the papers may be excusable.
Or then it may be that the papers are about to
turn to the democratic side, whose success
at the next presidential election seems quite mmi-
nent.
Or then, again. it may be that republicanism in
this county is purely for the purpose of putting
certain men into county office for the monetary
gain which results to the certain few who manage
to incumber the offices year after year.
Philippe Vignoli, professor in rflessionaterorgica
and inventor of machine ito see around the
world, "who was acquitted by jury in the Spokane
county superior court on the charge of defrauding
Antonio Scarpelli of So, 800, the amount advanced
to perfect the apparatus, declares that America
will not have the opportunity of seeing his contr
vance in operation He has decided to give the
honor to Italy, for which country he will leave in
few days. Vignoli's defense was that the rifless-
ionario is based on correct mechanical theories and
he had several experts testify in his behalf. He
said also that the machine would have been COM
peted and in successful operation had not Scarpeli
interfered with the work by causing his arrest in
| Los Angeles.
Vignoli represented he had an invention in mind
whereby he would be enabled to see around the
world, adding that when the device was perfected
he would have no difficulty whatever in meeting
face to face as it were his relatives in Italy at any
| time of the day or night.
| Vignol claims that mountains, skyscrapers, ram
parts of STEEL waves of the and all the obscurng
| phenomena of the elements must give way to the
powerful lenses and ingenious contrivances as
easily as the plate glass Of show window affords
| light to the structure.
