The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1912-11-09

It is probably true that in the
matter of the courthouse ring,
the Examiner has taken the lead
in the fight. And the result is
quite satisfactory. Considerable
money and influence was oppos-
ed to the Examiners fight for
cleaner conditions in the court
house, but the people have de-
cided the question after the lenthy
presentation of facts, and they
are looking to the new officials
to see that they make good.
Bliss Phillips is the only re-
naming member of the ring"
His Office is one of strategic i'm
portance to several financial inter-
ests of the county, and was worth
the fight that the ring leaders
made for it. But it is now impos-
sible for many of the past court
house performances to be con-
tinued, when but one of the old
guard remains, and we anticipate

people of that town showed him
conclusively by their votes that
they recognized the truth of the
statements, we wonder how the
Reformer is going to back up
gracefully now.

DEMOCRATS win
4 BIG VICTORY
Probable electoral vote Wilson 433 Roosevelt
Senate and House democracNo landslide upheava

The nation has elected Wilson
for president.
The state has apparently elect
ed a democratic ticket.
The courthouse ring in Stevens
county has not only been broken
but practically cleaned up"
These are the results of Tues
days election decreed by the
voters.
A long hard fight has been
made for these results by the
democrats-but they were nobly
assisted by many republicans,
prohibitionists and socialists, and
even in some cases by progress
sives." Hence the democrat in
his victory must not forget those
who by their votes have made it
possible for democracy to win.
The radical partisan must recog-
nize that there some good men
in all parties, even though their
opinions on tariff and the trusts
may differ.
The editor of the Examiner
has received many, many con-
gratulations for "his victory. .
It is a mistake. The editor for
five years has tried to accomplish
what has been accomplished, but
he is one out of the many-not
the only one.

= -. - o.
Senator M. E. Stansell, known
as one of the county's leaders of
the truly reliable republicans, on
Wednesday morning presented
the editor with his Taft button
which he had worn throughout
the campaign. He stated that to
the victor belongs the spoils-and
hoped the democratic admins
tration would make good.
The senator voices the senti-
ment of the bulk of the straight
republican voters, whose party
has been disrupted by ambitious
individuals on the moose ticket.
The republicans in Stevens county
almost to a man voted against
the moose" candidates who had
attempted to slip into office on
another ticket, and today, in
Stevens county, strange as it
may seem, the regular republi-
cans and democrats are closer
together in sympathy than they
have ever been before.
The sweeping victory Of the
democratic ticket in this county
is due in considerable measure
to the votes from the regular re-
publicans and the democrats
should not forget it, either.

De QeclQeQly Tor the DeCCer-DeC-
ter for the taxpayer, but perhaps
not better for those who for
years have been building up the
ring organization.
-7 s7'HTAr7--77 s--- .--44.--,---s.
During the campaign there
have been charges made that the
Examiner was using matter
against ring candidates which
was not true; that articles were
printed purely as campaign ar
guments, and not because they
were true. Any paper which
will do such things does not de-
serve public patronage, and let it
be said here that the statements
printed in the Examiner during
the campaign are TRUE; they
were printed with the intent to
defeat the ring candidates; they
were printed to show the public
just what has been going on in
the courthouse; and it is to be
hoped that never again will poll
tics in this county bring forth
the opportunity of printing dam
aging statements against court
house officials.
The democratic ticket has been
put into power in Stevens county
by the people Of the county.
They have done this for several
reasons largely because of the
exceptionally strong character
of the ticket, but perhaps almost
as largely because of the belief
that the courthouse ring should
go. And the ring WILL 60.
But the democratic candidates
have promised certain things in
case they were elected. These
promises must now be kept.
And the Examiner desires to say
here and now that if these prom
ises are not kept, the Examiner
will denounce any improper act
ions just as quickly and as fully
as it has the proceedings of the
ring candidates in trying to Sc
cure office. This paper is part
isan democratic, but it is not in
favor of an office holder on ANY
ticket using his office for individ-
ual profit to the detriment of the
taxpayers of the county.

POLITICAL GOSSIP
FROM DES MONIES

Des Moines, Dec 30.-(SpeciaD.-
The Iowa legislature is this winter
confronted with unique situation in
the matter of legislative contests and
for the first time two retiring senators.
not reelected will occupy their form
er seats. These will be Chas. .Saund-
ers Of Council Bluffs from the ninth
sena torial district and ]. II. Sammis of
LeMars of the fortysixth senatorial
district. In both these districts there
is contest and in neither was GER
tificate of election issued to either con-
testant. Accordingly under the law the
old senators sit until their successors
are qualified In the forty-siXth district
the contest is over single vote. These
contests will be decided by special
contest committees appointed in the
senate.
The interesting question arises as to
what place should be given the old
senators in the. matter Of committee
appointments, and whether the sena-
tor receiving the certificate from the
contest committee should take the
places made vacant when the old sena-
tors give up their seats.

The second occurrence is the re-
assembling of the house Of commons
today. Although Sir Edward Grey,
the British foreign secretary Is de-
termin ed to maintain Great Britain's
strict neutrality he cannot prevent
members OF the house asking ques-
tions which show the tend Of public
opinion. Turkey has many sympa-
thizers here. This is partly due to the
traditional British antagonism against
Russian and partly to the recollection
Of the Crimean war when the Turkish
and British troops fought together as
allies.
The third occurrence is the resump-
ton Of the meetings Of the European
ambassadors from which may come the

sought by the peace envoys.

HIGH OFFICIAL
OF FATHERLANO
DIED SUDDENLY
Secretary of State for Ger
many Expired of Heart
Trouble While Visiting
Sister Shrewd Diplomat.

Stuttgart, Germany, Dec. 3O.-Alfred
Won Kiderlen Waechter, secretary OF
state of the German empire, died sud
denly at his home here today alter q
brief illness. , ~
Won Kiderlen- -Waechter was enjoy
ing his usual Christmas visit to his
sister, the Baroness Won Gemmingen
near here. He had felt extremely un'
we'll for several days past, and physi'
clans feared that his illness might re.
suit fatally, as his heart action was
very irregular.
The end came with great sudden
ness when the secretary expired from
heart failure while he was practically
alone. ..--. s..a., -.
Alfred Won Kiderlen-Waechter was
only 60 years of age. He had occupied
office of imperial secretary OF state
for foreign affairs only since June ~
1910, when he succeeded Wilhelm Won
Schoen. who became German ambassa'
dor to France.
The advent Of Kiderlen-W Waechter
was not greeted with great enthus'
iasm in the German imperial parlia.
ment. He was very poor orator and
his speeches did not create very
good impression. He was known,
however, as one of the most shrewd
men in German diplomacy and was re-
garded as an expert on affairs OF the
10 hi ho
stationed for long time in the Balk.
ans and his disappearance from the
German cabinet at the present time Is
considered to be a great misfortune.
During his short period in Office as
foreign secretary he had been-Yery
successful in steering the information.

through a period of unusual entangle.

settlement Of the dispute between
France and Germany, as to the future
Of Morocco. The negotiations were
brought to successful termination

Alfred Won Kiderlen-Waechter was
for many years great .favorite Of
Emperor William. who, however, prac-
ftically banished him for q decade to
what was then the comparatively un--
important post Of German minister at
Bucharest because. on one occasion
Kiderlen- Waechter had presumed too
much on the emperor's favor.
Alfred Won Kiderlen- Waechter died
bachelor. is
He belonged to very old Wurtem-
berger family which was raised to the
nobility in 1868 He was born July 10,
1852 and while he was studying law
volunteered and fought throughout the
Franco-Prussian war of 1901. He
entered the diplomatic service In 1879
and served in st. Petersburg, Paris,
Copenhagen, Constantinople and Buch-
Arrest. sfs
Owing to the suddenness Of the for
eign secretary's death, there has been
no talk as to his probable successor.
