sentative republicans to work for
his nomination and for the de-
feat of the fat president who has
vetoed the progressive legisla-
ton of the last two years, killed
the tariff reductions, and looked
only to the interests of his
friends in Wall street.
The action of the Stevens
county republicans presages a
growing determination to cut
away from the controlled" can
didates in the republican party.
Roosevelt may not be very much
better than Taft in some ways,
but Roosevelt did not veto any
farmers free implement bill,
or the reduced wool tariff, and
therefore the farmers and COM
mon people like Roosevelt better
than Taft.
The Stevens county republi-
cans are entitled to credit for
their stand against Taft and his
Wall street game. No matter
who is made president, the pub
lie must be taught to think and
act for their own interests, and
the history of the last three
years shows both our republicans
and our democrats that Taft is
not the man for this nations
best interests.
Purely as a political maneuver,
the Roosevelt Club has taken a
wise step. Roosevelt, if nomi-
mated, would stand a chance Of
election. Taft will not, for the
common people can't afford to
have him represent the corpora
tions in the presidential chair.
It seems likely that Wilson or
Clark will be the democratic
nominee. If Taft is nominated,
the democratic nominee will be
elected without much doubt, for
the anti-Taft people in both
parties are serious and honest in
their distrust of him, and can
not therefore be expected to vote
for him.
Most of the republican candi-
dates for county office have join
ed the Roosevelt Club, signifying
that they are against Taft in his
fight for corporate control. If
they maintain that position and
refuse to support Taft even
though he be nominated, their
attitude will have the respect of
the residents of the county. If,
however, they should switch
back to Taft if he is nominated,
it will show that they are but
the same old ring, seeking to be
with the winner regardless of
principle.
It will pay to watch which way
things 90.

That Colville and Stevens coun-

national conditions and national
perils is evidenced by the action
of a number Of the leading re-
publicans of the county in orga-
nizing a Roosevelt club in Col
vile, with membership of
about $50 to date.
The time has been when re-
publicans would rally around any
old thing in the shape of politi-
cal candidate, but times are
changing. The three years of
the Taft administration, his
many broken promises, and the
bad business conditions which
are getting worse, have awaken
ed many republicans to a reali-
zation of the incapability of Taft
to govern anything, or to lead
anything, much less to be the
leader of a great party.

A conference of negro bishops
and ministers, claimed to repre-
sent 400, 900 negro voters, gave
out the statement this week that
Roosevelt is the friend of the
negro race. The statement is
addressed to negro voters and
urges them to do all they can to
aid Colonel Roosevelt's nomina-
ton, and do all you can to COM
pas the defeat of William How
ard Taft, who thinks that 10,-
OO0,0 900 negroes should accept his
appointment of an assistant at
torney general and a collector of
customs as panacea for his de-
grading southern policy"
IF these negro bishops and
ministers are correct in their
signed statement that the color
ed voters will not support Mr..
Taft, E" said Senator Dixon in a
statement, it means the certain
loss of the Is electoral votes
in Indiana, 20 in Illinois, 18 in
Missouri, 3 in Delaware, 8 in
West Virginia, "a in Ohio, 10 in
Kansas and 8 in Maryland. With
the elimination of these lis elec-
toral votes the nomination of
Taft would mean political sui
cide."
No, the Examiner has not for
gotten the railroad rate question,
nor been bought off, nor lost
interest in securing justice for
Stevens county. 1t is simply
awaiting the appearance of the
traffic manager of the Great
Northern railway to see if the
discrimination may be removed
without taking the matter to the
court of appeals-or to the high
est court of appeals, the people.
M. J. Costello, traffic manager
for the northwest, announces his
intention of taking up the matter
with the writer, and since Stew
ems county people have stood by
and allowed the Great Northern
to rob them for years, it may not
be wise to hurry too much at the
critical point.
A point of interest to the pub
lie might be that the many re-
publican papers of the county are
not saying a word about the rate
reduction, but leaving it entirely
for the one lone democratic
paper of the county. This must
be a year for expected campaign
funds from some railroad or
other = to let the powers that
be, remain the powers that be in
this state.

Of all the great republican and
independent papers of the coun-
try, there is only one that is
openly and aggressively support
ing the candidacy of Col. Roose-
welt, and that is the Cleveland
Leader. Even the Chicago Tri-
bune, although anti-Taft, has
not come out squarely for the
Colonel. The Cleveland Leader
is owned by Dan Hanna, son Of
the late Mark Hanna. Not long
ago President Taft, through his
department of justice, secured
the indictment of Mr.. Hanna for
violation Of the interstate COM
merce law. Here we have the
tie that binds the Cleveland
Leader to Col. Roosevelt.

During his seven and one-half
years in the White House, where
is the selfish, grasping trust that
Roosevelt ever busted? Where
is the lawless combine he ever
dissolved? Where is the tariff
schedule he ever lowered or rec
commended should be lowered?
Where is the one action that he
ever took to reduce the high cost
of living, or where is one single
action that stands out conspic-
uously as an achievement of his
administration? Instead of striv-
ing to gain the things that would
benefit his people he called men
liars, judges jackasess and gave
us reformed spelling. .-Daven-

Socialism and the socialist
party are fast drifting apart, and
the public should not forget that
the good points in the socialist

by the bad behavior of discon-

Socialistic principles are fast

socialist party, as a political

ability to portray it's good princi-
Piles or any good intentions to

This nation has nothing to fear

THOUGHT SPHERES.

The most potent influence in the
shaping of ones life is what some
philosophers call "atmosphere"-
Influence of association and environ
ment.
Atmosphere" in this sense, is a
condition of thought. Thought
makes it what it is, and thought
alone can change it.
If other people have the power to
create an atmosphere that influences
you, why cannot you create one for
yourself?
You can, for we all have that DOW
er. Few fully realize it.
You can, if you will, create an at
mosphere in which you move that
will compel others to feel it. Some
times you do it unconsciously and
move in a thought sphere which re-
pels, or harms those with whom you
come in contact.
Cultivate the thought sphere which
develops and brings out the highest
and best in yourself and let that at
mosphere permeate those about you.
In doing this your environment
and conditions will soon be bent to
your touch.
Those who best recognize this
power of well-directed thought sue
ceed best. Failure comes from doubt
and fear and discouragement. Sue
cess comes from confidence and
courage.
Thought creates either atmos-
phere.

The Home Circle
Thoughts from the Editorial Pen
"Love Thy Enemies"

1t appears to be considered the
duty of newspapers to boost and
keep on boosting for the town and
its business men, its institutions,
schools, churches, theatres, ETC., but
how often do the residents OF town
or community let themselves be
heard boosting for the local paper?
A local paper should boost for its
town and its business men. 1t is it's
editors duty, because the paper de-
rives at least IS per cent of its sup
port from home people of which it
is part. 1t is the duty of every
man, woman and child within the
city limits to stand stalwarts to their
town and say good word and do
good act whenever an opportunity
presents itself, and in this a news
paper should ever be founo IN the
front ranks with such a oand of town
boosters. AS has been said, a news
paper gets much of its support from
the town and the community and
thus in return owes its support to the
town, but what can be said of the
printer may be said of the grocer,
the butcher, the dry goods man, the
tailor, the miller and any other who
may come to mind. You owe a debt
of gratitude to your fellow merchant
for being here, for what would the
place amount to with only one busi-
ness house? What would there be
here to attract people and induce
them to build comfortable homes,
pay taxes for town improvements,
etc? On the other hand, people
from the country realize that the
town is a great boon to them and
adds greatly to the price of their
products and to the land on which
the product was grown, whether
their stock is consumed here or
shipped to other places.
The merchant has much of his
stock shipped in yet a great portion
of his trade is in that which he has
purchased at home from the farmer
or the villager thus deriving the pa
tronage of everyone. The farmer
gives his patronage to the merchant
and the merchant to the farmer.
Each is enabled to make profit ana
all is serene.
Yet there are merchants who will
not patronize each other, who will
send away for their printing, hard
ware, groceries, furniture, harness,
drugs, etc. Some even use safety
razors rather than patronize' the bar
ber, will walk or go by train rather
than give the local liveryman his fee,
and will ship in potatoes, cabbages,
onions, apples, ETC., rather than buy
from the local gardeners and farm
ers. This is not all, though, for the
merchant complains that the farmer
buys goods in some large city and
will not spend the cash he has earned
here with local people. It's a sad
condition of affairs with cure hard
to find One merchant states that
the trouble is an easy one to over
come if all will unite in a deter
mined effort to make their country
ideal; cooperate in good roads work
and ever boost and work for one an
other. Let us one and all make it
resolve to help our neighbor, ad-
vertise our country, boost our town,
build new roads and, in fact, CO.
operate in every manner possible.
If we will but love our enemies
they will soon cease to be such and

Matrimony is always a subject of
great interest and Importance for
the single. Several young men of
the section seem to be all worked
up on this matter. They are maxi
ing goo goo eyes at the girls, even
in church; and the pomade they use
on their hair would be enough to
grease bandwagon. They are ex-
tremely anxious, so we are told, to
get married for better or for worse.
That's the point. 1t will be one or
the other, and all the silly goo goo
ing and the brainless plastering of
the hair cannot change it.
We do not advocate a continuous
honeymoon. That is all tomfoolery,
and the sooner our young folks see
that either before or after the we'd
ding, the better it will be for their
future domestic welfare.
The welded union should be
among other advantages for the pro-
viding of pleasant home, where the
husband loves to spend his leisure
hours and the wife finds pleasure to
work. In order to provide such a
haven of contentment more is need
ed than sentimental cares and rich
father-in-law. What is needed is
common sense in both parties, and a
lot of that.
But some young men are fools and
imagine that the foolishness of calf
love makes a paradise within any
four walls. They become bewitched
with some giddy butterfly of society
and marry her. Then expect her to
go home, wash off the powder and
rouge from her face, and fry a beef
steak, mend his socks and sew on
his buttons. Most living representa-
tions of fashion plates don't like
household duties and they prefer
reading love story. Be wise.
The good book says that a man
who does not care for or look after
the welfare of his family lis worse
than an infidel." This may be ap-
piled with equal force to the man
who takes no interest in the town
in which he lives, for in a very real
sense the town is his home, which
he shares with the other people liv-
ing in it. Therefore to speak ad-
versely of ones town, to say no
word in its favor, to habitually 90

That paragraph is refreshing and
departs squarely from the rule of
past party performances. Neverthe-
less, bearing as it does the stamp of
the peerless leader and the approval
of Mr. Wilson, we are bound to ac-
cept it as sincere.
And herein lies our trouble. If
the solution of the trust problem is
of paramount concern, and the meth
DDS proposed by the democratic plat
form, though sincere, are impracti-
cable, we are bound to look else
where for the proper solution. and
are justified in accepting this only
as an alternative when nothing bet
ter is found
To us laws that make it impossi-
BILE for private monopolies to exist
in the United States" is not a proper
solution of the problem. You can
not maintain competition by law
We believe that combinations. mo-
nopolies and trusts. under our pres
ent commercial development, are
generally beneficial, because through
them the cost of production is low
cred, and because great volume un-
der one general management can be
more equitably and economically
distributed than less under many,
heads.
The trouble lies, not in the exist
ence of trusts and monopolies, but
in their ability to arbitrarily fix
prices of raw materials, manufac-
tured products and distribution, with
regard only to eXhorbitant private
gains instead of economical and
equitable public service.
The point is rightly to distribute
the benefits without sacrificing them.
The need is for master with pow
er to regulate trust operations, nor
can the trusts successfully. serve
two or four masters. The solution
lies in adequate government regula-
ton. This, we think, can be best ac-
complished by a federal statute-a
coercive statute-forcing every cor
poration engaged in interstate bust
ness to take out charter under it.
This statute would be formed with
the view of compelling equity be-
tween the corporation and the peo-
pie and the corporation would be re-
quired to submit to federal regula-'
ton. If it failed to abide by gov
ernment rules it would forfeit it's
right to do business and cease to
exist.
That method would conflict with
the doctrine of states rights and
could hardly be accomplished with
out violating the democratic plat
form.
AS between Taft and his policies
and Wilson and the democratic plat
form the Tidings would not hesitate
to support Wilson. But, there is
another proposed solution to be con-
sidered, A third party is in course
of formation. When it has spoken
we can better Judge which party Of
fers the best methods by which the
desired aoal can be reached. Which
ever party does that, according to
our way of thinking, for we hope to
be guided by judgment, not preju-
dice, will receive the support of the
Tidings in the coming national cam
paign.

Penbina, N. D., oct. 2s.-A farmer
living near town was making a de-

He thought he placed his pocket book

of the bank but as he opened it he

He naturally supposed that some one
of these picked up the book. But OF
