Lincoln County times. (Jerome, Idaho) 1911-1919, 1912-11-07

The above lines tell in a brief way
the result Of probably the most
notable election ever held in this &
country within the memory OF the
average voter. From the appear
,nee Of the third national party
in the field, the situation at once
became complicated, and the out
come could not dciinatcly bee for
easte hy the best of politicians.
The appearance OF Roosevelt IN the
field at once brought CONSERVATION
to the republican ranks, and the |
result in some states j. Of such "a
nature A. to warrant this feeling of
unrest Oh the part of the rcpub-
lcan- A. to whether the advent
Of the new party had the effect OF
changing the general results Is
another question for the politicians
10 solve. 1t would seem that the
people of the country were ready
for change, democrats n well A.
republicans being ready to follow
any new leader with progressive
ideas, and the large following which
contributed its support to the third
party movement is something Pile
nominal considering the causes
which brought it about and the
short space Of time for organization.
80 almost unanimous was the
election Of Woodrow Wilson that
before 1000 o'clock p. m. II Wa
generally conceded that he had
carried enough states to insure hin
a majority in the electoral college
and in less than an hour later boil
Taft and Roosevelt tclcgraphc'
their congratulations to the newly
elected president.
Mr.. Wilson has carried NOR
states than has been won 10y an,
previous candidate for many years
which are enumerated as follows:
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, ,Cal
liornia, Colorado, Connecticut, Della
ware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana
Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine
Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnie
sofa, Mississippi. Missouri, Nor
'ana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Je'
sey, New Mexico, New York, Mort
Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, okl'
homa, Rhode Island, South Care
lina, Tennessee, Texas, Virgins
West Virginia, Wisconsin.
These are sufficient to give hlm
most decided majority of the ele
toral college. The results in Il
various states will give ample oppo
unity for study on the part oi u
politician, and while Roosevelt ca
rles Illinois by an ovcrwhelmrl
majority, the democrats elect Dun
'or governor by large majority.
VI course the Taft element

ol their chosen leader, and wheth
this be true or not, it is safe TO $

TO ENFORCE HEAL TIL LAW
Efforts Of Authorities to Place City
in Sanitary And Slightly
Condition.

The police are now engaged IN III
speeding the city and, as far as pos
sible, to eliminate any unsanitary or
unsightly accumulations. 1t should
be apparent to all residents that they
should vie with the authorities in this
work. and not only aid in placing the
city in a proper condition before the
advent of tor,id weather but in keep
ing it so.
While the law is clear against the
throwing of Stops, filth, ETC., into the
streets or alleys, it is equally so ag-
ainst the casting of trash into the
same. A resident of the new north
western section Of the city was before
the oPlice Court this morning to an
swer the charge of placing trash in
an alev, and fine of five dollars was
imposed.
The above should be hint to all
who are inclined to disregard the laws
of the city. Many violations of the
ordinance are acts of thoughtless
children, who pull debris from yards
into streets or alleys. Others almost
invariably cast banana and orange
rinds into streets, generally on pave
ments, for pedestrians to step on. Par
ents should endeavor to educate their
children in cleanliness and tidi-
ness. A large percentage of the peo-
pie of the city have manifested inter-
est in all movements toward keep
ing the city clean. 1t is hoped their
spirit will eventually animate all.

OF STATE AND
PARISH TAXES.

III the Courier, published i'll HOu-
ma, praish of Terrebonne, in an art
icle headed a Few Facts the Voters
Should Know is the bold if not
startling declaration:
"A vote for John 7. Michel means
vote for segregation OF State and
parish taxes"
The Courier is one of the radical
exponents of Michelism, Regularism
and Bossism.
Under this system of taxation,
says the Courier, recommended by
the State Tax Commission and en-
dorsed by John /. Michel, the State
would obtain its revenue only from
such sources as are OF statewide
character, which ii would relieve of
local taxation: and the parishes
would obtain their revenues from
such property as is strictly local in
character, such as lands and prop
erty not Of statewide character.
All such local property will be eX-
empt from state taxes
This is great scheme, which, if
ii We're not serious, would seem to
be ridiculous, and therefore every
sensible individual regardless of his
political inclination should realize
the conditions that would arise if
such schemes were effective.
Though Candidate Michel has been
reticent and has reserved his views
on the question of segregation, some
Of the newspapers which are urging
his nomination and his followers
have been active iii proclaiming this
pernicious doctrine. For instance,
the assertion is ventured that at
least a great number of the Michel
men in Shreveport are segregation
lists. Ii is this class who favor and
would insist on the separation of the
parish from the city, in order to Sc
cure the return Of the saloon to
Shreveport.
In segregation, III WhateNerj gulse
presented, there is lurking apefll In
the complications of contentious
which presage trouble limitless, but
''Wssiireh Wirfeeh may be avoided by defeating
the advocates Of segreation, be it
Michel or the asgrants to the Legis-
Iature.
The citizens, the people of the
State, the Democrats who vote and
stand for good government, must lay
aside personal and individual pre-
ferment and vote against Candidate
Michel and all the candidates. espe-
cially candidates for the Legislature
who favor segregation.
