The Tribunes of the People Alway S
Come in For Abuse.

To the Editor of THE TINES:
b. F. Rattray's letter of June q in
dicates that another Taftite has been
hit below the belt" His CHARACTERIZE
ton of Roosevelt Is just about as con-
sistent and truthful az that of some
other Taftites. The old saying that
Birds of a feather flock together" Is
so true that. figuratively, 1t is apple
able to this particular fowl. Throughout
the history of the world there never
was a great principle so heroically bat
tied for by the truly great man Of the
occasion. even as such principles are
today being valiantly battled for by
Theodore Roosevelt, that they did not
subject him to the same raging revil-
ing abuse exhibited In the above-men-
toned letter. But the image of our
he represents) Is too strongly IN
trenched in the hearts of thoughtful
Americans to be seriously affected by
such drivel. When Mr.. Rattray claims
his use of the term is obviously mis-
homer. For when, / would like to ask,
did Theodore Roosevelt ever, in all mis-
public career. betray trust? The term
could. with more Propriety, in my opin.
ion, be applied to that particular candi-
date whose forces are said to have as-
sisted in making away with the Stolen
goods" at Chicago. When he claims
that never in the history of nations
has there been such a rank, unprinc-
velt' he clearly indicates his position.
For those who advocate the right of the
people to rule unhampered by bossism
and moneyed cliques will readily under
stand why Roosevelt's so-called "dema-
gogism" doesn't ' set well" on the stom-
achs of his enemies. However. for all
this, let the "sore heads vent their
venom! PROGRESS"

The Democratic party fixed the time of its con-
vention later than the Chicago convention in order
that it might be guided by what the Chicago
ton did. Leaders within the Democratic party
marked time until they could be assured of the de-
cision of the Republican convention at Chicago.
With what result? With the result that not
Democrat in Baltimore cares rap about either the
nominee or the platform Of the Republican conven-
ton. 1t is Roosevelt and the newly born Progressive
party that the Democrats acknowledge they have to
beat and they rapidly reforming all their battle
lines with that fight in view.

tion of the plan. The committee named
is S. j. Appleman, Fred L. Wolf,
Sidney w. Rogers, DR.. Tulles and A.
S. Sherlock.
1t is sincerely hoped that some method
of untangling the problem may be de-
vised by the committee as the district
is in a bad way for school facilities and
if some improvement cannot be secured
we will fall behind other communities
of this section.
Roy Wimber was named to preside
over the next luncheon of the business
men and an adjournment was then
taken across the street to the Town
Hall where a meeting was called to
consider the question of celebrating the
Fourth of July. C. B. Turnbull pre-
sided over this meeting, and was autho-
rized to name committee to ascertain
the wishes of the town as to celebra-
ton and to conduct the celebration if
found advisable. The committee con-
sists of DR.. Wallace, DR.. Nelson and

SIDE LIGHTS ON CONVENTION
Roosevelt Men Justified in Hold
ing Separate Meeting.
Dr.. Phillips Is District Alternate

That the Republican state convention
would split and name contesting dele
cations to the national convention
seemed inevitable for soma days prior
to it's convening. The temper of the
leaders of both sides was such as to
make compromise an impossiblllty,
and all efforts to get together served
but to widen the breach.
The Pend Oreille county delegation,
instructed for Roosevelt, stood in no
need of instructions after it's members
had heard the testimony introduced over
contesting delegations before the state
central committee The rulings by the
state chairman. and the votes of the
committee members in seating Taft
delegations sufficient to give them con-
troll of the convention, were so unfair
that no fair-minded non-partisan would
| follow the lead of the old gang.
The prediction that this would be the
last state convention bids fair to be-
come realized. The dissatisfaction with
the rule of the old guard and their OUT
spoken contempt for the wishes of the
mass of the voters, has produced de-
mand for presidential preference pri-
mary that the next legislature will not
overlook.
Jens Jensen, of Metaline Falls, held
the proxy of F. A. Purchase, of Cusick,
member of the state committee. Mr..
Jensen is an ardent Roosevelt man and
fairly represented the sentiment of the
county in the deliberations of the COM
mittee.
After the steering committees of the
Taft and Roosevelt forces failed to get
together the morning of the convention,
the Roosevelt men assembled in the K.
P. hall, while the Taft convention as
sembled at the stated place, the Theater
Grand. An agreement had been reached
between the leaders of the two factions
that neither side should open a conven-
ton or do business until o'clock p. m.
The Roosevelt leaders abided strictly by
this agreement and made no steps to-
ward organization until 0:30, when word
! came that the Taft forces had started
The Newport miner. [volume] (Newport, Wash.) 1899-current, 1912-05-23

to do business. The old guard was so
desperate that they went so far as to
break the last possibility of a truce.
Pend Oreille, the latest arrival in the
list OF counties of the state, was liber-
ally applauded and dubbed the ''baby"
county when our name was reached on
the roll call. The county was recog-
nized by the naming of DR.. J. T. Phil
lips. of Newport, on the list of district
alternates to the national convention. an
honor that was eagerly sought by many.
The Roosevelt convention leaders took
every precaution to make careful
record of all proceedings, and to see that
every step was safeguarded to make a
perfect record for the presention of
their case to the national convention.
Unless the national committee is dom
mated by factionalism, as was the state
committee, it will be found difficult to
decide against the Roosevelt delegates.
The Roosevelt convention was clearly
in the majority in the number of un-
contested delegations and in the number
of counties that participated.
1t is hard for men of the John L.
Wilson stripe to realize that the old
order of things has passed, and they
will go down with colors flying, blind to
the fact that the people have passed
judgment and sentence upon them.

COMMENCEMENT PROGRAM
Class of Three Young Ladies
Completes Course.
At Fids Opera Friday Evening

On Friday, May "a, will end most
successful school year of the Newport
public schools. The enrolment for the
past year, both in the grades and High
School, has been the largest since the
institution of the schools, the total en-
rollment attaining the number of 325
pupils, with As in the high school. State
High School Inspector Twitmeyer, on
his annual tour of inspection recently,
paid the school very high compliment
on the nature and character of the work
being accomplished. Prof. Kraeger,
from the State College at Pullman, also
visited the High School during the year,
and concurred with Inspector Twit-
meyer in his criticism of the work being
done in the schools.
The only difficulty with which the
the teachers and pupils have been con-
tending during the past year has been
the inadequacy of sufficient, and proper
school room, the school having out
grown its present facilities in that re-
spect. 1t is for this reason that plans
are now abroad for the erection of a
modern school building, which will be
the equal of those in neighboring COM
munities, and which will accommodate
the needs of Newport for the immediate
future. These plans will be submitted
to the people soon and we trust that
they will meet with the unqualified ap-
proval of all those concerned. Should
the proposition of a new school building
by any mishap meet with the disappro-
baton of the people, the school facili-
ties of the Newport schools for the en-
suing year will be sadly crippled. At
the present time, however, there ap-
pears to be little objection to the erec-
tion of this new school structure, it be-
ing generally recognized that Newport
is far in the rear of neighboring towns
with respect to ample and modern school
room facilities.
On Friday evening at 8:15 o'clock in
the Opera House will occur the COM
mencement exercises of the High School,
to which a cordial invitation is extended
to all to attend. The graduates this

Problems Confronting School Dis.
trict Discussed.
Fourth of July Committee Named

Businessmen, of Newport, to the
number of IS, assembled at the Martin
Hotel Wednesday evening, to discuss,
under the leadership of Chas. F. Craig,
the problems confronting the local
school district Landlord Austin pro-
vined an excellent luncheon and after
disposing of same, those present were
in a suitable frame of mind to tackle
the problems presented.
Director Stevens and Prof. King pre-
sented the status of proceedings in the
effort to get new school house and it
was learned that the Board had re-
ceived bid of $21, 500 on a school build
ing that would take care of the needs
of the town for some time to come.
However the bonding limit of the dis
trict at this time will raise but $14, 600
and it would be necessary for the peo-
pie to devise some means of raising
the remainder of the necessary sum by
personal credit or otherwise.
Assessor Purchase was present and
was called upon to report on the prob
able assessable valuation of the district
for 1912. Mr.. Purchase reported that
the former valuation of $681, 900 would
be increased to over 100000 and that
as soon as this assessment was COM
pleted and had been passed upon by
the county Board of Equalization, and
State Board of Tax Commissioners which
would not be before September 18th,
the district would be able to bond for
money sufficient to erect the proposed
building and be easily within the bond
ing limit.
However if we are to have a school
house for the coming school year, which
appears to be absolutely imperative,
we cannot wait until September before
starting work. 1t is feared that there
are legal technicalities in the way of
proceedings with the erection of the
building even with personal credit OF
the people to oback the enterprise.
To further investigate the matter
and ascertain the legal aspects of the
case the chairman of the meeting was
authorized to name committee to act

Idaho Incorporation Held Up

At Standpoint Wednesday there was
heard the protest of the Idaho & Wash
ington Northern Railroad and William
Vane against the inclusion of certain
property north of the Great Northern
Railroad within the incorporation of
Newport, Idaho.
After the introduction of testimony
to the effect that the objectors owned
IA per cent of the property in dispute,
the court held that unless the corpora
ton lines be altered along the lines of a
suggested compromise, the action of
the board of county commissioners in
granting the incorporation would be
nullifed. The compromise suggested
includes within the corporate limits
practically all of what was formerly the
restricted district of Old Town, and in
cludes blocks 5, 10, II, II, 18, some un-
plated acreage, including the Zeigler
property, the Baker property, and a
portion Of Idaho & Washington North
ern Railroad property, now occupied by
the Lindsey pole yard.
The objection of the railroad to the
incorporation was based on the desire
of the road to have their property
available for industrial sites, and they
made the contention that added munich
pal taxes and further opening of streets
within the territory would spoil their
property for Industrial purposes.
