free trade doctrine or tariff for reve-
nue. only.
For 60 years the affairs of this gov
eminent have been partly in the con-
troll of the republican party, with the
exception of two years, 1S93-95, when
the democratic party was in full con-
troll. 1t is true that during the last
half century we have had two demo-
cratic administrations, from 1885
to 1889. and from 1893 to 1897, and
while the republicans had one branch
of congress, they could not hold in
check the plans of Mr. Cleveland, who
secured legislation which ruined the
prosperity of the country.
With the wonderful prosperity OF
the people and the wonderful develop
ment of the resources of the country
under republican rule, why should we
incur the risk of making a change
when heretofore every time change
has been made hard times and scar
city of money and a scarcity of en-
ployment for the wage-earner has al
ways resulted.
The democrats were successful in
1893-94 in passing a free trade tariff
bill the Wilson-Gorman bill, which
brought ruination upon the country
by stopping the wheels of industrial
progress, and resulted in an era of
hard times which has not been equal
ed in its entire history.
Hundreds of factories were forced to
shut down; hundreds of thousands of
men were thrown out of employment
and their wives and children forced to
suffer for food and clothing. The con-
ditions of family life were changed.

A LITTLE TAX FACT.

| The full cash valuation plan as i'm
| Hawley has resulted this year in an
increase on patented land of 1899
per cent,
The average assessed value per acre
after equalization in 1910 was $6.55:
in 1911 it was $1S.SSs per acre, an in
crease of $12.23; for 1912 it is much
higher All those things are a matter
Of record in the office of the state aud
itor.
The total number of acres of pat
ented land in 1910 was 1,46S,638, and
109 On the same number of acres in
1911 a total tax OF $l,6SS,9SS was paid
or an increase of 1884, 653, with an ad-
ditonal tax of sos, 2s4. The per cent
of increase for this year has gone
vastly higher, and figures are now
being prepared and will be certified.
Altogether the increase in taxation
of all classes of property this year has
been over $SS,000,O00. If the state and
conditions had grown in the same pro-
portion with the taxation some reason
might be given for this extraordinary
and eXorbitant valuation, but there
is no other reason than that Hawley
revised an Anticipated tax law and
forced it upon the people with no con-
sideration whatever for just or rea-
sonable levy.
Do we want any more of Hawley
and high valuation?

FACTS COUNT.

From the report received of the
meeting held at Post Falls last We'd
nesday night, which was addressed by
Addison T. Smith, republican nominee
for congress. and o. " Allen. repuhli-
can nominee for state treasurer, ii
appears that the republicans are work
ing enthusiastically and concartedly,
and that the campaigning which is in
progress in that county has inspired
the republicans with determination
to win.
Smith is very clearly showing up the
great danger of the free trade policy
with which the country is menaced
and is very convincingly emphasizing
the Importance of the reelection of
President Taft and the entire rapubl-
can state ticket.

perpetuation OF the protective tariff
system and comparing present condi-
lions with those under Cleveland's adj
ministration at the Post Falls meeting,

In this campaign, as in many that

so years this country has made such
wonderful progress in manufacturing
and the development of our natural re-
sources, adheres to the great doc

cratic party stubbornly supports the

Difference Between Their Life
and Ours.

Some eighteen centuries ago life sud
denly ceased in the streets OF Pompeii.
Many of the inhabitants escaped from
the showers of ashes and stones which
Vesuvius dropped upon the doomed
city, but they left behind them hun
dreds of things which illustrate the
familiar saying, There is nothing new
under the sun
Those old Pompeiians were very
modern. They had folding doors and
hotwater urns; they put gratings to
their windows and made rookeries In
their gardens.
Their children had toys like ours
bears, lions, pigs, cats, dogs, made OF
clay, and sometimes serving as pitch
ers, also. People wrote on walls and
cut their names on seats, Just as we
do now. They kept birds in cages.
They gave tokens at the doors of
their places of entertainment-the
people of the gallery had pigeons
made Of a sort of terra-cotta.
They put lamps inside the hollow
eyes of the masks that adorned their
fountains. They even made grottoes
of shells-vulgarity itself is ancient.
They ate sausages and hung up
strings of onions. They had stands
for public vehicles, and the school
master used a birch on the ounces.
They put stepping stones across the
roads, that the dainty young patrician
gentleman and the pursy old senators
might not soil their gilded sandals.
1t was never cold enough for their
pipes to burst, but they turned their
water on and off with taps, and their
cook shops had marble counters.
They clapped their offenders into
the stocks; two gladiators were there
for eighteen hundred years.
When their crockery broke they
riveted 1t. At Herculaneum there is
huge wine jar half buried In the
earth. 1t had been badly broken, but
1t was so neatly mended, with Its
many rivets, that 1t no doubt held
wine as well as ever. Those rivets
have lasted more. than 1900 years

The love of man for the dog is onl,

who is brother to his fellowman, In

human love, can never close his heart
to the mute appeal of the dearest of
the dumb animals. Our society. as II
grows finer and more sane, does not
love the dog less, though part OF II
loves him, often, less wisely. The fad
ism which fawns on the dog. and
causes him to displaee affections
which have higher place, has no con.
sideration here. 1t is the honest, sin.
cere, appropriate relation between the
human and the canine, that affection
brought down to us from cru6sr age
when the dog was really guide and
guardian, as he is now, when occasion
arises, which deserves and must hold
our earnest admiration.
The dog In his place is a member Of
the social order not yet to be dis
