Wallace Press Times:-In free
ing fifty-two man killers with one
stroke of the pen Governor
Blease has certainly struck at the
safety of life which is the corner
stone of our civilization. He de-
serves to be ousted from office
for this, as well as his many other
acts of consumate impudence to-
ward an outraged justice. But it
is not probable that he will thus
ever be called to account. By
freeing nine hundred criminals he
has been enabled to build up a
political machine doubly subservi-
ent to him, for upon the within of
this depends the very liberty Of
those by whose efforts he will be
kept in power.

YELLOW JOURNALISM.

Two girls, both incorrigables,
escaped the other day from the
st. Anthony reform school. They
got as far as Idaho Falls where
they were captured, when they
took occasion to make number
of serious charge against the au-
thorities of the reform school.
Without giving the authorities,
charged with a series of appalling
things, an opportunity to be
heard, or to defend themselves,
the yellow journals Of the state
accepted the statements of these
two unreliable incorrigables as
gospel truth, and began bowling
for their removal. Would you
expect youths of the character
the state is forced to care for at
st. Anthony to have good word
for the authorities of the reform
school, when the reason the state
employs such people is because
we have some very bad boys and
girls, that the state must care for
because they are so bad their
parents cannot handle them? 1t
is entirely proper that the most
careful watch be kept over the
Of these institutions,
but let us be half way fair with
those called to manage them.

Tied up because of litigation, and
consequently idle, the Orofino lime
company is unable to fill orders. But
SO great is the demand for the local
product that orders are coming in by
almost every mail. DR.. Fairly, who is
looking after the lime property at this
time, informs the Republican that he
recently received an eastern order for
one carload. May we hope that affairs
of the company may be speedily settled
and this industry at once put in opera
ton. Orofino needs the payroll. Let
the citizens Of the town get behind
this industry and try to get it started.

HOW TAMMANY CRAFTS.

Tammany is admittedly rotten to the
core, an organization that has existed
for graft, and one that has always fat
tened on the tribute, blackmail and
loot it could, through political power,
extract from the taxpayers OF New
York city. And Tammany has called
itself a democratic organization" In
fact it has assumed to be the demo-
cratic party Of the Empire state. Like
its kind, whether in New York or out
here in Idaho, it has claimed to be the
friend of the people, the while enrich
ing its leaders from the spoils it has
taken. And how has it worked? Just
as all rings and gangs work-by de-
handing and getting its rakeoff on al
public funds that go for public improve
ments, like roads, bridges, public
buildings and public supplies If any
man or firm gets a contract the bid is
sufficiently above the honest price to
permit of slice for Tammany, al
though it may come in SO apparently an
innocent way as to challenge detection.
For example, if contract be awarded
the contractor must buy his material
from some friend on the inside that
pays tribute to Tammany. Had Tam
many built the new county bridge here
in Clearwater county at Orofino the
successful bidder would have pur-
chased the bridge planks from some
Tammany man. And were Tammany
ruling Clearwater county the same pol
icy would apply to culvert and bridge
planks for the various road districts
throughout Clearwater county. We
are making this local the better to illus
trate just how Tammany works its
graft. One has only to look up the
facts brought out in the recent investi-
cation in New York to know that this
is true.
We said Tammany had called itself
the democratic party. But let it be
remembered there are lot of good citi-
zens who hold to democratic principles,
and who have never accepted the
leadership of Tammany. And only
recently the decent democrats of New
York openly turned ON Tammany and
not only helped the republicans defeat
Tammany, but have gone so far as to
serve notice on Tammany that Tam
many is not the democratic party.

THE BEGINNING OF THE END.


If one may guess from the way
both democrats and republicans
from various sections of Clear
water county openly express
themselves there is going to be
rough shedding at the coming
election for the Orofino ring.
The people are going to take
their tax receipts to the polls
with them. More than that the
taxpayers are going to hold some
body responsible for the out
rageous squandering of public
funds that has prevailed since
the creation of this county. Some
body is responsible if the county
pays two or three prices for pub
lie records, and more than the re-
tail price for typewriters. The
people are going to know why it
is that the timber Of the Potlatch
Lumber Co., the very cream of
our timber, is assessed at $14.OO
per acre, while other holdings,
certainly no better, are assessed
at 500, or near that. If the Hol-
land & Rupp holdings are worth,
for assessment purposes, as they
may be, more than 500 an acre,
who is SO dense as to swallow the
excuse offered of some county
official that $14 is anything like
an honest assessment for the
Weyerhauser syndicate holdings?
And if $14 per acre is really an
honest, fair assessment for the
Weyerhauser syndicate holdings,
are not the other companies being
unjustly treated? The best
posted timber people, private citi-
zens Of this county, who have no
motive for favoritism, insist that
the holdings Of the Potlatch COM
pany are the best.
Last campaign the Orofino
gang went over the county charg-
ing right and left that everybody
but the gang were tools of the
timber interests, and that by elect
ing them the county would be
saved. The taxpayers may
have been saved, but in the saw
ing process there is indication
that the taxpayer is like the lamb
that entrusted itself to the care
and protection of a wolf-woke
up on the inside of the protector.

ACCEPT OUR APOLOGY.

ACCEPT OUR APOLOGY.
In our humble introduction to
the public two weeks ago, the
new editor of the Republican said:
with due respect for the good
work already done, and with no
spirit Of Boosting, we hope to put
Orofino on the map. We pro-
pose to make this our business,
failing in which our purpose in
coming to Orofino will have
failed"
Certainly no offense were in
tended, for the editor of the Re-
publican would be the last person
in the world to belittle the efforts
Of another, especially when it
comes to boosting, for the field is
broad, and the need sufficiently
pressing anywhere throughout
the yet undeveloped West to af-
ford ample opportunity for many
times as many newspapers as are
doing anything in this line. The
Republican was not trying to
smonopolize this most laudable
and necessary work, although it
seems, judging from last weeks
Tribune, our esteemed contempt
rary, offense were taken, for
Brother Crow says:
THE public will be glad to know
that Orofino is to be placed on
the map. According 10 late re-
ports it would seem that this
place has been only a flag station
ever since the railroad was built
some twelve years ago."
The Republican believes the
Tribune is a good booster, conse-
quently our apology. Being a
stranger in a foreign land," and
probably a little ever-enthusiastic,
we no doubt went too far, and
our statement perhaps was a
reflection on the editorial policy
Of our worthy brother. So again
permit us to apologize.
And as proof Of our error, and
as evidence that our statement
about putting !Orofino on the
map" was rank presumption, and
to settle in the beginning of our
editorial career here in Orofino,
once and forever, any question as
to who put Orofino on the map"
we publish the following, printed
editorially by the present editor
Of the Orofino Tribune under date
of June 6, 1918. In order to put
Orofino on the map" as a pro-
Queer Of a high grade cement.
and to assist in every way within
the power of a great, may we say
leading newspaper Of Clearwater
county, company of eminently
reliable and responsible gentle
men to develope an Orofino en-
terprise, the Tribune published
the following boost" from the
pen of Editor Grow:
1T may be cruel, but it is hard
to suppress the thought that the
excuse held out here for several
weeks the past spring that the
reason for not beginning work on
the cement plant was that there
was too much water in the plat
Of ground where the buildings
were to have been erected, seems
to have been based on the belief
that there was too much water in
the stock rather than in the
ground. The laws Of nature have
the surplus moisture in
the earth, but possibly the stock
is going through some artificial
process. known only to promot-
ers."
Further comment is unneces-
sary. After reading the above
boost" from an Orofino paper,
whose loyalty to Orofino cannot
be questioned, we are not so
