any man unless he was on the re-
publican ticket and supported by
a certain clique within that party.
This meant that a man, no mat
ter how capable, was prevented
from holding county Office if he
happened to be in belief a demo-
crat, prohibitionist or a socialist.
If you, as an individual, hired
a man to do a certain work, would
you first ask his political beliefs,
or would you demand the qualifi-
cation to do the work?
The cancellation of rates on
lumber from points on Great
Northern to points on the Harri-
riman lines, which were cancelled
effective Dec. 81, has been sus-
pended by the interstate COM
merce commission until April 80.
Thus the rates via Spokane gate
way will continue in effect as at
present, until ultimate decision
by the commission.
Corners" are crimes, accord
ing to last weeks decision by the
U. S. supreme court. Patten,
the Chicago speculator, had a
corner" in cotton. The govern
ment called it conspiracy in re-
straint of trade, and prosecuted.
Now if a corner in cotton is
illegal, how about corner" in
courthouse Offices? This county
hasn't been bothered much by
having it's cotton cornered, but it
has had other troubles.
Next time the old ring starts
up we can read the supreme court
decision into their actions.
The state highway commission
er reports that there is a total of
39,062 miles of highways in this
state, consisting of 26, miles
of unimproved earth roads, 1926
of improved earth roads, 1857 Of
gravel roads, 100 of plank, 116 of
corduroy, 1874 of macadam, 5 of
brick, II of concrete. Sc miles BIZ
luminous, the rest miscellaneous.
Spokane county has 1862 miles;
Stevens 1893 of earth roads, 13 of
improved earth roads, 9 of gravel;
Ferry county $50 miles, Okanog-
an 732, Pend Oreille 200.
The Pomona grange of Pend
Oreille county in session last
week passed a resolution to work
for a state prohibitory amend
ment.
This comes trife late to do
any good. Four years ago, when
the democratic party had that
plank in it's platform, Pend Oreille
valley residents whooped 'er up
loudly for the republican local
option plan in opposition to pro-
hibition. The vote throughout
the state was so decisive against
prohibition, that we doubt wheth-
er even four years under the
local option game has been enough
to change public sentiment.
Moving pictures depicting bib
lical scenes are more potent than
preaching sermon is the opinion
of the Rev. DR.. Harry w. Jones,
who became famous during the
Spanish-American war as the
fighting chaplain" of the battle
ship Texas. He has resigned his
pastorate on Long Island, and is
now operating a travelling picture
show on lines educational and re-
ligious.
He says: "A religious subject
tactfully and reverentially treat
ed, in my opinion will do more to
advance the cause of religion and
uplift humanity than a thousand
eloquent preachers ever hope to
accomplish by their oratory."
Jones was awarded a medal by
congress for bravery in action.

Fred C. Rumsey, one of County
Assessor Algie's deputies, will
remain on duty month under
the democratic ring, in order to
give the inexperienced fellows a
start. -Statesman-Index.
The above attempt to cover up
a perpetration by a former men,
ber Of the courthouse ring, by
handing something" to the
democrats, won't go; and while
the Examiner dislikes to again
take up the subject of the old
rings methods, now that the
bunch is almost gone, a deliber-
ate attempt such as the above by
the ring organ should call forth
the facts.
The reason for Rumsey baing
kept in the assessors office is
that this office is the only one ia
the courthouse which is in any
particular measure behind in its
work. The reason the office is
behind is that for a month or
more before his term of office ex-
pired, Assessor James Algie spent
his time as manager of the COL
vile Leader, and allowed the
work to get behind in the asses
sor's office. He drew his pay
from the county, just the same,
up to Jan. 13, although since
Dec. II he has been an employe
Of the Leader and presumably
drawing the $3.50 a month salary
from the Leader. Thus Stevens
countyahas paid to James Algie,
former county assessor, $100 or
more in salary for time when he
was working for another corpora
ton. Some men would not have
accepted this $10O from the
county.
Thus Rumsey is still working
in the assessors Office, cleaning
up the 1912 business.
Governor Listers suggestion Of
non-partisan elections for cities
and counties comes at a time
when the people should be ready
for such a step. The saving of
money and the better selection of
public officials are the only argu-
ments necessary.
Stevens county offers a fair
sample of the incompetency of
present law. In the past it has
been almost impossible to elect

The action of the new demo-
cratic board of county commits
sioners in electing the holdover
republican, Frank Ferguson, as
chairman is to be commended.
It shows that the democratic
members are real men and not
snide politicians.
